NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 18 portfolios. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The predecessor fund for the Access Capital Community Investment Fund was reorganized into a series of the Trust, effective July 28, 2008. This report includes the following two investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
- Access Capital Community Investment Fund
- RBC Impact Bond Fund (“Impact Bond Fund”)
The Access Capital Community Investment Fund offers three share classes: Class A, Class I and Class IS shares. The Impact Bond Fund offers three share classes: Class A, Class I and Class R6 shares. Class A shares are offered with a 3.75% maximumfront-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which nofront-end sales charge was paid. Class I, Class IS and Class R6 shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either afront-end sales charge or a CDSC.
RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBCGAM-US” or “Advisor” or“Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBCGAM-US or its affiliates.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company that follows accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Fund Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.
Security Valuation:
The Board has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Fixed income securities, includingto-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from

broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such asinstitutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.
Mortgage-related securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property and include pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, or private issuers, including commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance bankers and other secondary market issuers. These mortgage-related securities are generally valued by pricing services that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. These pricing models generally consider such factors as current market data, estimated cash flows, market-based yield spreads, and estimated prepayment rates. Securities valued using such techniques and inputs are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. To the extent significant inputs are unobservable, the securities will be categorized as Level 3.
Exchange-traded futures are valued at the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments inopen-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor, andCo-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management and compliance. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.
The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker- dealer or Fund Management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.
When the Funds utilize fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Funds could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Funds’ Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment spreads, etc.
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Access Capital Community Investment Fund | |
| | U.S. Government Agency Obligations– (Small Business Administration) | |
Balance as of 9/30/19(value) | | | | | | $ | 73,601 | |
Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | | | | | | (21,192 | ) |
| | | | | | | | |
Balance as of 3/31/20(value) | | | | | | $ | 52,409 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Access Capital Community Investment Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category were valued using the valuation methodology and technique deemed most appropriate in the circumstances. The significant unobservable inputs used include assumptions regarding the particular security’s cash flow profile, prepayments and potential defaults which may not be generally observable for either the security or for assets of a similar type. Inputs with respect to variable rate securities may also include assumptions regarding future interest rate changes. Significant changes in any of these assumptions may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.

Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements |
| | Fair Value at March 31, 2020 | | | Valuation Technique(s) | | | Unobservable Input | | Range (Weighted Average) |
U.S. Government Agency Obligations (Small Business Administration) | | $ | 73,601 | | |
| Discounted Cash Flow | | | Yield (Discount Rate of Cash Flows) Constant Default Rate Amortization Rate | | 3.23%-4.60%(4.23%) 0.00%(0.00%) 0.0037-0.0038(0.0038) |
Reverse Repurchase Agreements:
To obtain short-term financing, the Access Capital Community Investment Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks, who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a segregated account with the custodian containing qualifying assets having a value, including accrued interest, not less than the repurchase price. Based on requirements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Fund may also be required to deliver or deposit securities or cash as collateral.
As of March 31, 2020 there were no open reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”), which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. With reverse repurchase transactions, typically the Fund and the counterparties are permitted to sell, repledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received or paid by the Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed.
50
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
In the event the buyer of securities under a MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.
TBA Commitments:
The Funds may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased/sold declines/increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”. As of March 31, 2020, the the Impact Bond Fund had outstanding TBA commitments.
Mortgage Backed Securities:
Because the Funds will focus on community development investments, such as securities backed by commercial and/or residential mortgage loans, it will be affected by risks not typically associated with funds that do not specialize in community development investments. These risks include credit and prepayment risk and risk due to default on underlying loans within a security. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults or assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.
In addition, the Access Capital Community Investment Fund invests in certain mortgage backed securities that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) in which the Fund may pay a premium for the geographically or other targeted nature of the securities. There can be no guarantee, however, that a similar premium will be received if the security is sold by the Fund.
Derivatives:
The Funds may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities as tools in the management of portfolio assets. The Funds may use such derivatives through either the creation of long or short positions to hedge various investments, for investment purposes, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Funds. Derivatives allow the Funds to manage their risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund’s returns.
Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Funds, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below.
Financial Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to manage the duration of the portfolio and hedge against certain market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.
The Funds entered into U.S. Treasury Bond futures and U.S. Treasury Notes futures during the period ended March 31, 2020.
51
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying instrument. A Fund would record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to these daily payments.
Open futures contracts are shown on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Underlying collateral pledged for open futures contracts is the cash at brokers for financial futures contracts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
For the period ended March 31, 2020, the average volume of derivative activities based on ending quarterly outstanding amounts are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Access Capital Community Investment Fund | | | Impact Bond Fund | |
Futures long position (contracts) | | | 170 | | | | 38 | |
Futures short position (contracts) | | | 234 | | | | 22 | |
Counterparty Credit Risk:
Derivatives may also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations). To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterpartynon-performance. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk onover-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds.
With exchange-traded futures, the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
Affiliated Investments:
The Funds invest in another Fund of the Trust (an “Affiliated Fund”), U.S. Government Money MarketFund-RBC Institutional Class 1, as a cash sweep vehicle. The income earned by the Funds from the Affiliated Fund for the period is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The table below details the transactions of the Funds in the Affiliated Fund.

Credit Enhancement:
Certain obligations held by the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements and third party insurance.
Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are included in the financial statements as interest income.
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds in the Trust either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., reclassification of paydown gains and losses, and expiring capital loss carryforward), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital account based on their federal tax basis treatment.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with RBCGAM-US under which RBCGAM-US manages each Funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreement requires each Fund to pay RBCGAM-US a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, RBCGAM-US is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:
| | | | |
| | Annual Rate | |
Access Capital Community Investment Fund | | | 0.35% | |
Impact Bond Fund | | | 0.35% | |
RBCGAM-US has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses (excluding certain fees such as interest, taxes and acquired fund fees and expenses) of the Funds to the following levels pursuant to an expense limitation agreement.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

7. Federal Income Taxes:
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.
Fund Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (the tax years ended September 30 of the years, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 for Access Capital Community Investment Fund) and 2018 and 2019 for Impact Bond Fund and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
As of March 31, 2020, the tax cost of investments and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net Unrealized | |
| | Tax Cost Of | | | Unrealized | | | Unrealized | | | Appreciation/ | |
| | Investments | | | Appreciation | | | Depreciation | | | (Depreciation) | |
Access Capital Community Investment Fund | | $ | 534,963,787 | | | $ | 23,522,604 | | | $ | (3,395,800 | ) | | $ | 20,126,804 | |
Impact Bond Fund | | | 31,354,904 | | | | 1,058,517 | | | | (211,046 | ) | | | 847,471 | |
58
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the taxmark-to-market of derivatives, tax deferrals on wash sales, and mixed treasury straddle losses.
The tax character of distributions during the year ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | | | | | | | Total | |
| | Ordinary | | | Total Taxable | | | Distributions | |
| | Income | | | Distributions | | | Paid | |
Access Capital Community Investment Fund | | $ | 16,157,686 | | | $ | 16,157,686 | | | $ | 16,157,686 | |
Impact Bond Fund | | | 467,646 | | | | 467,646 | | | | 467,646 | |
Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because distributions are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2019, the Access Capital Fund had capital loss carryforwards expire in the amount of $4,011,206 and the Impact Bond Fund had capital loss carryforwards utilized in the amount of $120,961.
As of September 30, 2019, the Access Capital Community Investment Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $10,313,220 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $19,421,944 available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. These capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character and must be utilized prior to the utilization of the loss carryforwards subject to expiration that are described above.
Under current tax law, Post-October Capital Losses and Late-Year Ordinary Losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds did not have any Post-October Capital Losses or Late-Year Ordinary Losses for the year ending September 30, 2019.
8. Line of Credit
The Funds are participants in an uncommitted, unsecured $500,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), the Funds’ custodian, to be used to fund shareholder redemption requests and for other short-term temporary or emergency general business purposes. The line of credit has a scheduled termination date of August 1, 2020. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the Bank’s prime lending rate per annum. Since each Fund participates in this line of credit, there is no assurance that an individual fund will have access to all or any part of the $500,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2020. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds did not utilize this line of credit.
9. Significant Risks
As of March 31, 2020, the Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of a Fund’s outstanding shares as shown below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | # of Omnibus Accounts | | | % of Fund | |
Access Capital Community Investment Fund | | | 1 | | | | 13.1% | |
Impact Bond Fund | | | 1 | | | | 17.0% | |
In addition, three unaffiliated shareholders owned in aggregate 64.4% of the Impact Bond Fund as of March 31, 2020. Significant transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Market risk:
One or more markets in which a Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, and the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and political, economic and other conditions and events (including, but not limited to, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, and social unrest) in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Furthermore, the occurrence of, among other events, natural orman-made disasters, severe weather or geological events, fires, floods, earthquakes, outbreaks of disease (such asCOVID-19, avian influenza or H1N1/09), epidemics, pandemics, malicious acts, cyber-attacks, terrorist acts or the occurrence of climate change, may also adversely impact the performance of a Fund. Such events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions or events. Moreover, such negative political and economic conditions and events could disrupt the processes necessary for a Fund’s operations.
10. Subsequent Events:
Fund Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Beginning Account Value 10/1/19 | | | Ending Account Value 3/31/20 | | | Expenses Paid During Period* 10/1/19–3/31/20 | | | Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 10/1/19–3/31/20 | |

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section discusses the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including each of its series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), established in accordance with Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Program on behalf of each Fund, as required pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board also approved the designation of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC”), the investment adviser to each Fund, as the Program Administrator for the Program. RBC administersday-to-day implementation of the Program through a Liquidity Risk Committee (the “Committee”), as set forth in the Program.
RBC, as Program Administrator, provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, if applicable, the operation of any highly liquid investments minimum (“HLIM”) and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).
The Report covered the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
I. Key Conclusions of the Report
The Program, as and implemented, is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. During the Review Period, the Program was implemented and operated effectively to achieve the goal of assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. No Fund was required to set an HLIM and each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. There were no material changes to the Program implemented during the Review Period.
II. Summary of the Review
A. Liquidity Risk Assessment and Review
Throughout the Review Period, the Program Administrator, in consultation with investment personnel, monitored the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in Board reporting throughout the Review Period.
The Program Administrator also conducted an annual review assessing each Fund’s liquidity risk as described in the Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Program and the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:
a. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for anopen-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives (including for hedging purposes);
b. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and
c. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
Investment Strategy and Portfolio Liquidity. The Program Administrator considered the factors identified above, among others, during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions as provided in the Program. Pursuant to the review, the Program Administrator determined that Fund’s investment strategy and use of derivatives are appropriate for anopen-end fund.
Cash Flow. The Funds’ cash flows did not have a material effect on the ability to meet redemptions during the Review Period.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Holdings of Cash and Borrowing Arrangements. As described in the Report, the Program Administrator determined that the Funds’ holdings of cash and borrowing arrangements were adequate for meeting the Funds’ expected cash flow needs to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
In light of the assessment and review as discussed above, the Program Administrator did not recommend any material changes in the management of the Funds’ liquidity risks, including with respect to any of the above factors.
B. Portfolio Holdings Classifications
During the Review Period, each Fund’s portfolio holdings (including derivative investments) were classified monthly as Highly Liquid Investments, Moderately Liquid Investments, Less Liquid Investments and Illiquid Investments pursuant to the Program, as required by the Liquidity Rule.
During the Review Period, the Funds classified portfolio investments (including, as applicable, derivatives transactions) according to asset class when appropriate, as described in Section IV.B of the Program.
Market Depth—Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size. In classifying and reviewing its portfolio investments or asset classes (as applicable), the Funds must determine whether trading varying portions of a position in a particular portfolio investment or asset class, in sizes that the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, is reasonably expected to significantly affect its liquidity, and if so, the Fund must take this determination into account when classifying the liquidity of that investment or asset class. There were no changes to the Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size assumptions for the Funds during the Review period.
Classification Review. As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Funds reviewed liquidity classifications on a monthly basis during the Review Period as described in Section IV of the Program. The Committee met monthly to review its portfolio investments’ classifications in connection with recording the liquidity classification for each portfolio investment for reporting on FormN-PORT. The Program Administrator oversaw the Funds’ process for classifying portfolio holdings under the Rule and reviewed the classifications, as described in the Program. This review included a review of the methodology and data inputs used. During the Review Period, the Program Administrator determined that there were no material operational issues with the process for classifying portfolio holdings.
C. HLIM
The Program Administrator reviewed the process and standards for determining that each Fund primarily holds investments that are highly liquid. There were no changes recommended in the Report with respect to the status of any Fund as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund (“PHLF”) and each Fund qualified as a PHLF on an ongoing basis during the Review Period as described in the Report. Accordingly, an HLIM was not required for any Fund during the Review Period pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Program.
D. Compliance with the 15% Limitation on Illiquid Investments
Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets (the “15% Limit”). The Program Administrator monitored compliance with the 15% Limit as described in the Program. During the Review Period, the Funds operated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Program with respect to the 15% Limit.
E. Redemptions in Kind
There were no redemptionsin-kind effected by any Fund during the Review Period.

JPMorgan Emerging Markets Bond Index (“EMBI”) Global Diversified Index is a subset of the JPMorgan EMBI. The JPMorgan EMBI tracks the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated Brady bonds, Eurobonds and traded loans issued by sovereign and quasi-sovereign entities in emerging markets. The JPMorgan EMBI Global Diversified limits the weights of countries with larger debt stocks by including only a specified portion of these countries’ eligible current face amounts of debt outstanding.
The ICE BofAML US High Yield Index tracks the performance of U.S. dollar--denominated below investment grade corporate debt publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market.
The ICE LIBOR USD 3 Month is a wholesale funding rate, for three-month maturities in U.S. dollars, anchored in LIBOR panel banks’ unsecured wholesale transactions to the greatest extent possible, with a waterfall to enable a rate to be published in all market circumstances. LIBOR panel banks’ submissions are ranked by ICE Benchmark Administration, and the upper and lower quartiles are excluded to remove outliers. The relevant rate is then calculated as the trimmed arithmetic mean of the remaining submissions, rounded to five decimal places. Each LIBOR panel bank’s submission carries an equal weight, subject to the trimming.
The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index is a flagship measure of global investment grade debt from twenty-four local currency markets. This multi-currency benchmark includes treasury, government-related, corporate and securitized fixed-rate bonds from both developed and emerging markets issuers.

* | Implied credit spread, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the value of the credit default swap agreements as of period end will serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default or other credit event for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/ selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Generally, wider credit spreads represent a perceived deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the swap agreement. |
(a) | The maximum potential amount the Fund may pay should a negative credit event take place as defined under the terms of the agreement. |

1. Organization:
RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 18 portfolios. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This report includes the following three investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
- RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Debt Fund (“Emerging Market Debt Fund”)
- RBC BlueBay Global Bond Fund (“Global Bond Fund”) (formerly known as RBC BlueBay Diversified Credit Fund)
- RBC BlueBay High Yield Bond Fund (“ High Yield Bond Fund”)
Class A and Class I shares are offered by each Fund; Class R6 shares are offered by each Fund except High Yield Bond Fund. Class A shares are offered with a 4.25% maximumfront-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which nofront-end sales charge was paid. Class I shares and Class R6 shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either afront-end sales charge or a CDSC.
RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBCGAM-US)” or “Advisor” or“Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds and BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay” or“Sub-Advisor”) acts as asub-advisor for each of the Funds. BlueBay Asset Management USA LLC (“BlueBay US”) also acts as asub-advisor for the High Yield Bond Fund and the Global Bond Fund. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBCGAM-US.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company that follows accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Fund Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.
Security Valuation:
The Board has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.
47
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by third-party pricing services approved by the Board. Equity securities listed on one or more exchanges shall be valued at the last available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the regularly scheduled closing time of the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. (See “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). An equity security not listed on an exchange but listed on NASDAQ shall be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and is also categorized as Level 1. If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated or a NASDAQ official closing price is not available, the most recent bid quotation generally will be used and such securities will generally be categorized as Level 2. Investments inopen-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities, includingto-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such asinstitutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.
Bank loans are valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or fair valued using recently executed transactions, market price quotations, credit/market events, and cross-asset pricing. Inputs are generally observable market inputs obtained from independent sources. Bank Loans are generally categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, unless key inputs are unobservable which would then be as Level 3.
Exchange-traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded. In the absence of any transactions on that day, the closing bid price shall be used for purchased options, futures and options on futures, and the closing ask price shall be used for written options. Such instruments are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Options contracts traded in theover-the-counter (“OTC”) market shall be valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or broker-dealer using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as trades and prices of the underlying instruments. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked to market daily based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service as of the close of the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. EST, and are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Swaps, including credit-default swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps, are generally valued by an independent pricing service using a discounted cash flow methodology. This technique is used to value both the fixed and variable components of the swap contracts and takes into account market data and inputs sourced from various institutions and market-makers and includes dailyintra-day and closing spreads, credit index quotes, yield curves, and recovery rate assumptions. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair market value of the contract, is included in the Fund’s net assets. These swap contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair valuation hierarchy.
Foreign securities valued innon-U.S. dollars are valued in the foreign currency and then converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent using the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of NYSE on the day the security’s value is determined. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States may be affected on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, exchange or redeem shares of the Funds.
The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor,Co-Administrator andSub-Advisor, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management and compliance. The
48
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.
The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker- dealer or Fund Management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.
When the Funds utilize fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Funds could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.
The Funds’ Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment spreads, etc.
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
49
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.
The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:

The Funds’ assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. The significant unobservable inputs used include assumptions regarding the particular security’s cash flow profile and potential defaults that may not be generally observable for the security. The Bank Loans and Common Stock in High Yield Bond Fund were fair valued using a discounted cash flow model based on unobservable inputs that include estimated cash flows, implied credit spread and discount rate (weighted average cost of capital). The Corporate Bonds in High Yield Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund were fair valued at the estimated recovery amount to be received in anarm-length transaction. Significant changes in any of these assumptions may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.

The values of foreign securities, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from movements in currency exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities on the Statements of Operations. Such fluctuations are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment

transactions. However, for tax purposes, the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations are segregated pursuant to U.S. Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.
Bank Loans:
A Fund may invest in fixed and floating rate loans from one or more financial institutions (“lender(s)”) to a borrower by way of: (i) assignment/transfer of; or (ii) participation in the whole or part of the loan amount outstanding. In both instances, assignments or participations of such loans must be capable of being freely traded and transferred between investors in the loans. Participations typically will result in a Fund having a contractual relationship only with a lender as grantor of the participation but not with the borrower. A Fund acquires a participation interest only if the lender(s) positioned between the Fund and the borrower is determined by theSub-Advisor to be creditworthy. When purchasing loan participations, a Fund assumes the economic risk associated with the corporate borrower and the credit risk associated with an interposed bank or other financial intermediary. Loan assignments typically involve a transfer of debt from a lender to a third party. When purchasing loan assignments, a Fund assumes the credit risk associated with the corporate borrower only.
Such loans may be secured or unsecured. Loans that are fully secured offer a Fund more protection than an unsecured loan in the event ofnon-payment of scheduled interest or principal. However, there is no assurance that the liquidation of collateral from a secured loan would satisfy the corporate borrower’s obligation. In addition, investments in loans through a direct assignment include the risk that if a loan is terminated, a Fund could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral.
Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a corporate borrower, and generally are offered by banks or other financial institutions or lending syndicates.
A loan is often administered by an agent bank acting as agent for all holders. Unless, under the terms of the loan or other indebtedness, a Fund has direct recourse against the corporate borrower, the Fund may have to rely on the agent bank or other financial intermediary to apply appropriate credit remedies against a corporate borrower.
When a Fund purchases a floating rate loan interest, it may receive a facility fee and when it sells a floating rate loan interest, it may pay a facility fee. On an ongoing basis, the Funds may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit amount of a floating rate loan interest. Facility and commitment fees are typically amortized to income over the term of the loan or term of the commitment, respectively. Consent and amendment fees are recorded to income as earned. Prepayment penalty fees, which may be received by the Funds upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan interest by a borrower, are recorded as realized gains. The Funds may invest in multiple series or tranches of a loan. A different series or tranche may have varying terms and carry different associated risks.
In connection with floating rate loan interests, the Funds may also enter into unfunded floating rate loan interests (“commitments”). In connection with these commitments, the Funds earn a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statement of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period. Unfunded floating rate loan interests aremarked-to-market daily, and any unrealized appreciation or depreciation is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations.
As of March 31, 2020, the Funds did not have any unfunded floating rate loan interests.
Payment-in-Kind Securities:
The Funds may invest inpayment-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include
54

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require apro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
For the period ended March 31, 2020, the totalin-kind payments received by the Global High Yield Bond Fund and Global Bond Fund with respect to PIKs constituted less than 5% of the Fund’s total income and, therefore, such payments were not disclosed as a separate line item on the Statement of Operations.
Derivatives:
The Funds may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities as tools in the management of portfolio assets. A Fund may use such derivatives through either the creation of long or short positions to hedge various investments, for investment purposes, for risk management and/or to increase income or gain to the Fund. Derivatives allow a Fund to increase or decrease its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund’s returns.
Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Funds, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below.
In addition to the risks associated with derivatives in general, the Funds will also be subject to risks related to swap agreements. Because swap agreements are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which a Fund and a swap counterparty enter as principals, a Fund may experience a loss or delay in recovering assets if the counterparty defaults on its obligations. Each Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets in an amount sufficient to cover its obligations under swap agreements.
Financial Futures Contracts:
The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to manage the duration of the portfolio and hedge against certain market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.
The Funds entered into U.S. Treasury Bond futures, Euro Dollar futures and Euro-Bund futures during the period ended March 31, 2020.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying instrument. A Fund would record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to these daily payments.
Open futures contracts are shown on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Underlying collateral pledged for open futures contracts is the cash at brokers for financial futures contracts shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Options:
The Funds may write (or sell) put and call options on the securities that the Funds are authorized to buy or already hold in their portfolio. The Funds may also purchase put and call options.
A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Fund purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Fund is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequentlymarked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or a Fund enters into a closing transaction), a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When a Fund writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Fund holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Fund writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.
In purchasing and writing options, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in a Fund purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.
A Fund may execute transactions in both listed (exchange-traded) and OTC options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain OTC options may expose a Fund to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the OTC option transaction, a Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized gain of the contract (as writer).
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:
The Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“Forward”) to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings (foreign currency exchange risk). In addition, certain Funds may use a Forward to provide exposure to the foreign currency market. A Forward is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. A Forward ismarked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date.
The market value of the Forward is determined using the forward rate for the remainder of the outstanding period of the contract, through the delivery date. When a Forward is closed or settled, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the fluctuation in rates during the period a Forward was open.
In the event of default by the counterparty to the transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss, as either the buyer or seller, is the unrealized gain of the contract.
Details of Forward contracts at period end are included in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments under the caption “Foreign currency exchange contracts.”
Swap Agreements:
The Funds may enter into swap agreements, which are agreements involving two parties to exchange the return generated by a security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index, or other measures for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The Funds entered into interest rate, credit default and other swap agreements as of March 31, 2020.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the agreement by a Fund to pay a counterparty a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount and to receive a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount, but may also involve the agreement to pay or receive payments derived from changes in interest rates. Periodic payments are generally made during the life of the swap agreement according to the terms and conditions of the agreement and at termination or maturity.
The Funds enter into cross-currency swaps to gain or reduce exposure to foreign currencies or as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments (foreign currency exchange rate and/or interest rate risk). Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, in exchange for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps may also involve an exchange of notional amounts at the start, during and/or at expiration of the contract, either at the current spot rate or another specified rate.
The Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a writedown, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.
Total return swap agreements involve the commitments to pay or receive an amount generally determined by reference to a security, index or other measure in exchange for a specific market linked return, based on notional amounts. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate-based obligation, the Funds receive or make a payment to the counterparty. Interim payments and payments received or made by a Fund at the expiration or other termination of the swap agreements are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swap agreements aremarked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations, and changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, are recorded as unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation). Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments under the captions “Interest rate swaps” and “Credit default swaps”.

Counterparty Credit Risk:
Derivatives may also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations). To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterpartynon-performance. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk onover-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds.
For foreign currency exchange contracts, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, or if the foreign currency rates change unfavorably.
The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds. For OTC purchased options, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Written options by the Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange-traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.
With exchange-traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps, the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk
59
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate its counterparty risk, the Funds 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 a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives 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, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ 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 including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, 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. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
Collateral Requirements:
For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting themark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty.
Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash due to broker for options contracts, cash at broker for financial futures contracts and segregated cash and foreign currency for options contracts and swap contracts and cash received as payable to broker, respectively.Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. 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 is required, which is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by a Fund on the next business day. Typically, a Fund and its counterparties are not permitted to sell,re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Fund bears the risk of loss from counterpartynon-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds in the Trust either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent, they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with RBCGAM-US under which RBCGAM-US manages each Funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreement requires each Fund to pay RBCGAM-US a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, RBCGAM-US is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:
| | | | |
| | Annual Rate | |

Global Bond Fund | | | 0.45% | |
RBCGAM-US has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses (excluding certain fees such as interest, taxes and acquired fund fees and expenses) of the Funds to the following levels pursuant to an expense limitation agreement.

Global Bond Fund | | | 0.77% | �� | | | 0.52% | | | | 0.47% | |
This expense limitation agreement is in place until January 31, 2021 and may not be terminated by RBCGAM-US prior to that date. The agreement shall continue for additionalone-year terms unless terminated or revised by the Board at any time or by RBCGAM-US at the expiration of anyone-year period.

7. Federal Income Taxes:
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.
Fund Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
As of March 31, 2020, the tax cost of investments and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Net Unrealized | |
| | Tax Cost Of | | | Unrealized | | | Unrealized | | | Appreciation/ | |
| | Investments | | | Appreciation | | | Depreciation | | | (Depreciation) | |
Emerging Market Debt Fund | | | $21,368,521 | | | | $219,447 | | | | $(3,565,502 | ) | | | $(3,346,055 | ) |

High Yield Bond Fund | | | 57,443,551 | | | | 441,241 | | | | (3,885,340 | ) | | | (3,444,099 | ) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, currency straddle losses mark to market on derivatives and the use of equalization.
The tax character of distributions during the year ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | | | | | | | | | | Total | |
| | Ordinary | | | Net Long Term | | | Total Taxable | | | Distributions | |

Emerging Market Debt Fund | | | $1,231,778 | | | | $ — | | | | $1,231,778 | | | | $1,231,778 | |
Global Bond Fund | | | 3,046,431 | | | | 738,322 | | | | 3,784,753 | | | | 3,784,753 | |
High Yield Bond Fund | | | 3,169,039 | | | | — | | | | 3,169,039 | | | | 3,169,039 | |
The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2019, the Emerging Market Debt Fund and High Yield Bond Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $5,380,291 and $233,263, respectively and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $275,426 and $563,676, respectively, available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. These capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character.
Under current tax law, Post-October Capital Losses and Late-Year Ordinary Losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund did not have any Post-October Capital Losses or Late-Year Ordinary Losses for the year ending September 30, 2020.
8. Market Timing:
The Trust strongly discourages attempts at market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund charges a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, in addition to limiting the number of exchanges that may be made between Funds to five (5) per calendar year. When assessed, the redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and retained by the Fund, not by the Advisor. This redemption fee is not charged in cases where, for example, the redemption results from an automatic reinvestment or assetre-allocation not specifically directed by the shareholder. The Trust also reserves the right to reject any Fund purchase order made by persons deemed to be market timers. The Funds’ prospectus contains a full description of the Trust’s policies on market timing and/or excessive trading. The redemption fee is recorded as a credit to capital and is included in the capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Funds had the following redemption fees collected by the Funds.
| | | | |
| | Redemption Fees | |
High Yield Bond Fund | | | $424 | |
9. Commitments:
High Yield Bond Fund may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, High Yield Bond Fund may also enter into bridge loan commitments (“commitments”). Commitments may obligate High Yield Bond Fund to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. As of March 31, 2020, High Yield Bond Fund had no outstanding commitments. In connection with these commitments, High Yield Bond Fund earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period.
10. Significant Risks
Shareholder concentration risk:
As of March 31, 2020, the following Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of a Fund’s outstanding shares as shown below:
| | | | | | | | |
| | # of Omnibus Accounts | | | % of Fund | |
Emerging Market Debt Fund | | | 1 | | | | 19.7% | |
High Yield Bond Fund | | | 2 | | | | 38.3% | |
In addition, two unaffiliated shareholders in aggregate owned 74.3% of the Emerging Market Debt Fund. Significant transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance.
Market risk
One or more markets in which a Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, and the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and political, economic and other conditions and events (including, but not limited to, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, and social unrest) in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Furthermore, the occurrence of, among other events, natural orman-made disasters, severe weather or geological events, fires, floods, earthquakes, outbreaks of disease (such asCOVID-19, avian influenza or H1N1/09), epidemics, pandemics, malicious acts, cyber-attacks, terrorist acts or the occurrence of climate change, may also adversely impact the performance of a Fund. Such events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions or events. Moreover, such negative political and economic conditions and events could disrupt the processes necessary for a Fund’s operations.
11. Subsequent Events:
Fund Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section discusses the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including each of its series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), established in accordance with Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Program on behalf of each Fund, as required pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board also approved the designation of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC”), the investment adviser to each Fund, as the Program Administrator for the Program. RBC administersday-to-day implementation of the Program through a Liquidity Risk Committee (the “Committee”), as set forth in the Program.
RBC, as Program Administrator, provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, if applicable, the operation of any highly liquid investments minimum (“HLIM”) and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).
The Report covered the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
I. Key Conclusions of the Report
The Program, as and implemented, is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. During the Review Period, the Program was implemented and operated effectively to achieve the goal of assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. No Fund was required to set an HLIM and each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. There were no material changes to the Program implemented during the Review Period.
II. Summary of the Review
A. Liquidity Risk Assessment and Review
Throughout the Review Period, the Program Administrator, in consultation with investment personnel, monitored the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in Board reporting throughout the Review Period.
The Program Administrator also conducted an annual review assessing each Fund’s liquidity risk as described in the Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Program and the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:
a. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for anopen-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives (including for hedging purposes);
b. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and
c. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
Investment Strategy and Portfolio Liquidity. The Program Administrator considered the factors identified above, among others, during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions as provided in the Program. Pursuant to the review, the Program Administrator determined that Fund’s investment strategy and use of derivatives are appropriate for anopen-end fund.
Cash Flow. The Funds’ cash flows did not have a material effect on the ability to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
73
|
LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Holdings of Cash and Borrowing Arrangements. As described in the Report, the Program Administrator determined that the Funds’ holdings of cash and borrowing arrangements were adequate for meeting the Funds’ expected cash flow needs to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
In light of the assessment and review as discussed above, the Program Administrator did not recommend any material changes in the management of the Funds’ liquidity risks, including with respect to any of the above factors.
B. Portfolio Holdings Classifications
During the Review Period, each Fund’s portfolio holdings (including derivative investments) were classified monthly as Highly Liquid Investments, Moderately Liquid Investments, Less Liquid Investments and Illiquid Investments pursuant to the Program, as required by the Liquidity Rule.
During the Review Period, the Funds classified portfolio investments (including, as applicable, derivatives transactions) according to asset class when appropriate, as described in Section IV.B of the Program.
Market Depth—Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size. In classifying and reviewing its portfolio investments or asset classes (as applicable), the Funds must determine whether trading varying portions of a position in a particular portfolio investment or asset class, in sizes that the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, is reasonably expected to significantly affect its liquidity, and if so, the Fund must take this determination into account when classifying the liquidity of that investment or asset class. There were no changes to the Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size assumptions for the Funds during the Review period.
Classification Review. As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Funds reviewed liquidity classifications on a monthly basis during the Review Period as described in Section IV of the Program. The Committee met monthly to review its portfolio investments’ classifications in connection with recording the liquidity classification for each portfolio investment for reporting on FormN-PORT. The Program Administrator oversaw the Funds’ process for classifying portfolio holdings under the Rule and reviewed the classifications, as described in the Program. This review included a review of the methodology and data inputs used. During the Review Period, the Program Administrator determined that there were no material operational issues with the process for classifying portfolio holdings.
C. HLIM
The Program Administrator reviewed the process and standards for determining that each Fund primarily holds investments that are highly liquid. There were no changes recommended in the Report with respect to the status of any Fund as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund (“PHLF”) and each Fund qualified as a PHLF on an ongoing basis during the Review Period as described in the Report. Accordingly, an HLIM was not required for any Fund during the Review Period pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Program.
D. Compliance with the 15% Limitation on Illiquid Investments
Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets (the “15% Limit”). The Program Administrator monitored compliance with the 15% Limit as described in the Program. During the Review Period, the Funds operated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Program with respect to the 15% Limit.
E. Redemptions in Kind
There were no redemptionsin-kind effected by any Fund during the Review Period.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Performance shown reflects contractual fee waivers, without such fee waivers total returns would be reduced. Performance information does not reflect the 2% fee on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. If such redemption fee was included, performance would be reduced. For performance data current to the most recentmonth-end go to www.rbcgam.us. Please see footnotes below.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY (UNAUDITED) |
(c) | The performance in the table for the period from June 1, 1994 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, the predecessor to RBC SMID Cap Growth Fund. The performance of the Fund also includes the performance of a common trust fund (“CTF”) account advised by RBCGAM-US (including its predecessor) and managed the same as the Fund in all material respects for the period from December 31, 1990 to June 1, 1994, as adjusted to reflect the full contractual rate of expenses associated with the Fund at its inception. The CTF account was not registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act and therefore was not subject to the investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the CTF account had been registered, the CTF account’s performance may have been adversely affected. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower). |
(d) | The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 31, 1990 for Class I and Class A shares and November 21, 2016 for Class R6 shares. The performance in the table for the Class R6 shares prior to November 21, 2016 reflects the performance of the Class I shares since the Fund’s inception. |

The inception date of the Fund and the prior class of shares is December 2, 1983. |
(h) | Each of the comparative indices is a widely recognized market value weighted measure of the return of securities, but do not include sales fees or operating expenses. You cannot invest directly in indices. |
(i) | The performance in the table for the period from August 5, 1991 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund II, the predecessor to RBC Small Cap Core Fund.

The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from July 31, 1991. |
(k) | The performance in the table for the period from September 10, 1987 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Shadow Stock Fund, the predecessor to RBC Microcap Value Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 18 portfolios. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This report includes the following five investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
– RBC SMID Cap Growth Fund (“SMID Cap Growth Fund”)
– RBC Enterprise Fund (“Enterprise Fund”)
– RBC Small Cap Core Fund (“Small Cap Core Fund”)
– RBC Microcap Value Fund (“Microcap Value Fund”)
– RBC Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”)
The SMID Cap Growth and Small Cap Core Funds offer three share classes: Class A, Class R6 and Class I shares. The Enterprise and Microcap Value Funds offer two share classes: Class A and Class I shares. The Small Cap Value Fund offers Class I and Class R6 shares. On November 27, 2012, Class C shares were converted to Class A shares for the SMID Cap Growth, Enterprise, Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds and Class S shares were converted to Class I shares for SMID Cap Growth and Enterprise Funds. For the Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds, which did not previously have Class I shares, the Class S shares were redesignated as Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with a 5.75% maximumfront-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which nofront-end sales charge was paid. Class I and Class R6 shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either afront-end sales charge or a CDSC.
RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (”RBCGAM-US“ or ”Advisor“ or”Co-Administrator“) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBCGAM-US.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund is an investment company that follows accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Fund Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
Recent Accounting Standards:
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.
Security Valuation:
The Board has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by third-party pricing services approved by the Board. Equity securities listed on one or more exchanges shall be valued at the last
57
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the regularly scheduled closing time of the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. (See “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). An equity security not listed on an exchange but listed on NASDAQ shall be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and is also categorized as Level 1. If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated or a NASDAQ official closing price is not available, the most recent bid quotation generally will be used and such securities will generally be categorized as Level 2. Investments inopen-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
Fixed income securities, includingto-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such asinstitutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.
Foreign securities valued innon-U.S. dollars are valued in the foreign currency and then converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent using the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of NYSE on the day the security’s value is determined. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States may be affected on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, exchange or redeem shares of the Funds.
The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor, andCo-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management and compliance. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.
The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker- dealer or Fund Management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.
When the Funds utilize fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their
58
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
direction would accurately reflect the price that the Funds could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.
The Funds’ Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment spreads, etc.
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.
The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Funds | | Level 1 Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds, except Microcap Value Fund, recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or Level 2. For Microcap Value Fund, securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 in the amount of $820,749 since the trading market became active for the securities. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Microcap Value Fund | |
| | Common Stocks– (Financials) | |
Balance as of 9/30/19(value) | | | | | | $ | 16,968 | |

| | | | | | | | |
Balance as of 3/31/20(value) | | | | | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category were valued using the valuation methodology and technique deemed most appropriate in the circumstances. The significant unobservable inputs used may include assumptions regarding the particular security’s cash flow profile and potential defaults which may not be generally observable for either the security or for assets of a similar type. Significant changes in any of these assumptions may result in a lower or higher fair value.
Financial Instruments:
Repurchase Agreements:
The Funds, except SMID Cap Growth Fund, may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties whom the Advisor has deemed creditworthy, including primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other large U.S. commercial banks or broker-dealers. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged by the dealers as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have procedures to monitor additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the market value of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default.
There were no repurchase agreements held during the period ended March 31, 2020.
Affiliated Investments:
The Funds invest in another Fund of the Trust (an “Affiliated Fund”), U.S. Government Money MarketFund-RBC Institutional Class 1, as a cash sweep vehicle. The income earned by the Funds from the Affiliated Fund for the period is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The table below details the transactions of the Funds in the Affiliated Fund.

Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method.
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds in the Trust either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.
Real Estate Investment Trusts:
The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (”REITs“) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Dividends paid by a REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends paid by a REIT to a Fund will be treated as long term capital gains by the Fund and, in turn, may be distributed by the Fund to its shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Distributions received from a REIT in excess of its income are recorded as a return of capital and a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions for each Fund are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., net operating loss, redesignation of distributions and basis adjustments on investments in passive foreign investment companies (PFICs) and partnerships.), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with RBCGAM-US under which RBCGAM-US manages each Funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreement requires each Fund to pay RBCGAM-US a monthly fee based upon average
61

Small Cap Value Fund | | | N/A | | | | 0.85% | | | | 0.80% | |
This expense limitation agreement is in place until January 31, 2021, and may not be terminated by RBCGAM-US prior to that date. The agreement shall continue for additionalone-year terms unless terminated or revised by the Board at any time or by RBCGAM-US at the expiration of anyone-year period. The Advisor is entitled to recoup from the Fund or class the fees and/or operating expenses waived or reimbursed during any of the previous 12 months (3 years for the Small Cap Value Fund), provided the Fund is able to do so and remain in compliance with the expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived or expenses paid.

BNY Mellon receives a fee for its services payable by each Fund based in part on each Funds’ average net assets. RBCGAM-US’s fee is listed as ”Administration fees“ in the Statements of Operations. BNY Mellon’s fee is included with ”Accounting fees“ in the Statements of Operations.
Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor or theCo-Administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.
The Trust currently pays each of the independent trustees (trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the Advisor, eitherCo-Administrator or Distributor) an annual retainer of $63,000. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually.

4. Fund Distribution:
Each of the Funds that offers Class A shares has adopted a Master Distribution12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for, or to reimburse the Distributor for, distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of Class A covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The Plan does not apply to Class I and Class R6. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for Class A.
| | | | |
| | Class A | |
12b-1 Plan Fee | | | 0.25%* | |
* Under the12b-1 plan, the maximum fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. Currently the Board has approved an annual limit of 0.25%.
Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a service fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive the Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the period ended March 31, 2020, there were no fees waived by the Distributor.
For the period ended March 31, 2020, the Distributor received commissions of $54,998front-end sales charges of Class A shares, of the Funds, of which $53,131 was paid to affiliated broker-dealers, and the remainder was either paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers or retained by the Distributor.

7. Federal Income Taxes:
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.
Fund Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
67
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
As of March 31, 2020, the tax cost of investments and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Tax Cost Of Investments | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | |
SMID Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 73,293,450 | | | $ | 15,123,207 | | | $ | (11,310,814 | ) | | $ | 3,812,393 | |
Enterprise Fund | | | 40,962,278 | | | | 13,509,324 | | | | (8,254,286 | ) | | | 5,255,038 | |
Small Cap Core Fund | | | 55,637,645 | | | | 15,946,436 | | | | (11,449,873 | ) | | | 4,496,563 | |
Microcap Value Fund | | | 97,521,463 | | | | 21,760,608 | | | | (40,099,821 | ) | | | (18,339,213 | ) |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 69,243,121 | | | | 421,539 | | | | (23,487,538 | ) | | | (23,065,999 | ) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, Passive Foreign Investment Companies (PFICs) and the timing of income recognition in partnerships.
The tax character of distributions during the year ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | Ordinary Income | | | Net Long Term Capital Gains | | | Total Taxable Distributions | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
SMID Cap Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 6,700,195 | | | $ | 6,700,195 | | | $ | 6,700,195 | |
Enterprise Fund | | | — | | | | 8,935,430 | | | | 8,935,430 | | | | 8,935,430 | |
Small Cap Core Fund | | | — | | | | 21,239,568 | | | | 21,239,568 | | | | 21,239,568 | |
Microcap Value Fund | | | 1,290,895 | | | | 10,531,781 | | | | 11,822,676 | | | | 11,822,676 | |
Small Cap Value Fund | | | 1,172,021 | | | | 2,645,153 | | | | 3,817,174 | | | | 3,817,174 | |
The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2019, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.
Under current tax law, Post-October Capital Losses and Late-Year Ordinary Losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The SMID Cap Growth Fund, Enterprise Fund and Small Cap Core Fund had deferred qualified late-year ordinary losses of $219,555, $67,131 and $44,922, respectively, and for the Small Cap Value Fund deferred long-term qualified late year capital losses of $2,853,986 and short-term qualified late year capital losses of $4,611,241, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2020.
8. Market Timing:
The Trust strongly discourages attempts at market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund charges a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, in addition to limiting the number of exchanges that may be made between Funds to five (5) per calendar year. When assessed, the redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and retained by the Fund, not by the Advisor. This redemption fee is not charged in cases where, for example, the redemption results from an automatic reinvestment or assetre-allocation not specifically directed by the shareholder. The Trust also reserves the right to reject any Fund purchase order made by persons deemed to be market timers. The Funds’ prospectus contains a full description of the Trust’s policies on market timing and/or excessive trading. The redemption fee is recorded as a credit to capital and is included in the capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
68
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the redemption fees collected by the Funds which are offset in the cost of shares redeemed on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are as follows:
| | |
| | Redemption Fees |
Enterprise Fund | | $ 1 |
Small Cap Core Fund | | 53 |
Microcap Value Fund | | 3,355 |
Small Cap Value Fund | | 7,914 |
9. Soft Dollars:
Soft dollar arrangements and commission sharing arrangements (CSAs) are arrangements under which RBCGAM-US directs client brokerage transactions to a broker-dealer and obtains other products and services, such as research, in addition to trade execution. Federal securities laws permit a fund advisor to incur commission charges on behalf of a fund that are higher than another broker-dealer would have charged if the advisor believes the charges are reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services received. RBCGAM-US has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Funds to seek the best execution for all of the Funds’ securities transactions. Fund Management believes that using soft dollars to purchase brokerage and research services may, in certain cases, be in a Fund’s best interest. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds used soft dollar and commission sharing arrangements. Fund Management continues to closely monitor its current use of soft dollars, in addition to regulatory developments in this area for any possible impact on Fund policies.
10. Line of Credit
The Funds are participants in an uncommitted, unsecured $500,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), the Funds’ custodian, to be used to fund shareholder redemption requests and for other short-term temporary or emergency general business purposes. The line of credit has a scheduled termination date of August 1, 2020. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the Bank’s prime lending rate per annum. Since each Fund participates in this line of credit, there is no assurance that an individual fund will have access to all or any part of the $500,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2020. During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Funds did not utilize this line of credit.
11. Significant Risks
Shareholder concentration risk:
As of March 31, 2020, the following Funds had omnibus accounts which owned more than 10% of a Fund’s outstanding shares as shown below:
| | | | |
| | # of Omnibus Accounts | | % of Fund |
SMID Cap Growth Fund | | 2 | | 86.0% |
Small Cap Core Fund | | 3 | | 40.5% |
Microcap Value Fund | | 1 | | 26.5% |
Significant transactions by these shareholders may impact the Funds’ performance.
Market risk:
One or more markets in which a Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, and the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and political, economic and other conditions and events (including, but not limited to, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, and social unrest) in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Furthermore, the occurrence of, among other events, natural orman-made disasters, severe weather or geological events, fires, floods, earthquakes, outbreaks of disease (such asCOVID-19, avian influenza or H1N1/09), epidemics, pandemics, malicious acts,
69
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
cyber-attacks, terrorist acts or the occurrence of climate change, may also adversely impact the performance of a Fund. Such events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions or events. Moreover, such negative political and economic conditions and events could disrupt the processes necessary for a Fund’s operations.
Industry and sector focus risk:
At times the Funds may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector. The prices of securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector may be more susceptible to fluctuations due to changes in economic or business conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events affect that industry or sector more than securities of issuers in other industries and sectors. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or sector, its shares’ values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.
12. Subsequent Events:
Fund Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section discusses the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including each of its series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), established in accordance with Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Program on behalf of each Fund, as required pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board also approved the designation of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC”), the investment adviser to each Fund, as the Program Administrator for the Program. RBC administersday-to-day implementation of the Program through a Liquidity Risk Committee (the “Committee”), as set forth in the Program.
RBC, as Program Administrator, provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, if applicable, the operation of any highly liquid investments minimum (“HLIM”) and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).
The Report covered the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
I. Key Conclusions of the Report
The Program, as and implemented, is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. During the Review Period, the Program was implemented and operated effectively to achieve the goal of assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. No Fund was required to set an HLIM and each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. There were no material changes to the Program implemented during the Review Period.
II. Summary of the Review
A. Liquidity Risk Assessment and Review
Throughout the Review Period, the Program Administrator, in consultation with investment personnel, monitored the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in Board reporting throughout the Review Period.
The Program Administrator also conducted an annual review assessing each Fund’s liquidity risk as described in the Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Program and the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:
a. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for anopen-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives (including for hedging purposes);
b. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and
c. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
Investment Strategy and Portfolio Liquidity. The Program Administrator considered the factors identified above, among others, during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions as provided in the Program. Pursuant to the review, the Program Administrator determined that Fund’s investment strategy and use of derivatives are appropriate for anopen-end fund.
Cash Flow. The Funds’ cash flows did not have a material effect on the ability to meet redemptions during the Review Period.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Holdings of Cash and Borrowing Arrangements. As described in the Report, the Program Administrator determined that the Funds’ holdings of cash and borrowing arrangements were adequate for meeting the Funds’ expected cash flow needs to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
In light of the assessment and review as discussed above, the Program Administrator did not recommend any material changes in the management of the Funds’ liquidity risks, including with respect to any of the above factors.
B. Portfolio Holdings Classifications
During the Review Period, each Fund’s portfolio holdings (including derivative investments) were classified monthly as Highly Liquid Investments, Moderately Liquid Investments, Less Liquid Investments and Illiquid Investments pursuant to the Program, as required by the Liquidity Rule.
During the Review Period, the Funds classified portfolio investments (including, as applicable, derivatives transactions) according to asset class when appropriate, as described in Section IV.B of the Program.
Market Depth—Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size. In classifying and reviewing its portfolio investments or asset classes (as applicable), the Funds must determine whether trading varying portions of a position in a particular portfolio investment or asset class, in sizes that the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, is reasonably expected to significantly affect its liquidity, and if so, the Fund must take this determination into account when classifying the liquidity of that investment or asset class. There were no changes to the Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size assumptions for the Funds during the Review period.
Classification Review. As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Funds reviewed liquidity classifications on a monthly basis during the Review Period as described in Section IV of the Program. The Committee met monthly to review its portfolio investments’ classifications in connection with recording the liquidity classification for each portfolio investment for reporting on FormN-PORT. The Program Administrator oversaw the Funds’ process for classifying portfolio holdings under the Rule and reviewed the classifications, as described in the Program. This review included a review of the methodology and data inputs used. During the Review Period, the Program Administrator determined that there were no material operational issues with the process for classifying portfolio holdings.
C. HLIM
The Program Administrator reviewed the process and standards for determining that each Fund primarily holds investments that are highly liquid. There were no changes recommended in the Report with respect to the status of any Fund as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund (“PHLF”) and each Fund qualified as a PHLF on an ongoing basis during the Review Period as described in the Report.
Accordingly, an HLIM was not required for any Fund during the Review Period pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Program.
D. Compliance with the 15% Limitation on Illiquid Investments
Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets (the “15% Limit”). The Program Administrator monitored compliance with the 15% Limit as described in the Program. During the Review Period, the Funds operated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Program with respect to the 15% Limit.
E. Redemptions in Kind
There were no redemptionsin-kind effected by any Fund during the Review Period.

| | | | | | | | | |
Investment Objective | | | | | | | | The U.S. Government Money Market Fund was managed to preserve principal. This means that the share price of the Fund held steady at $1.00. A consistent share price of $1.00 is expected for a money market mutual fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. These risks are more fully described in the prospectus. | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2020 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 18 portfolios. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”).Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This report includes the U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“Fund”).
The Fund offers three share classes: RBC Institutional Class 1, RBC Institutional Class 2 and RBC Investor Class. Prior to November 9, 2017, the Fund also offered shares in RBC Select Class and RBC Reserve Class.
RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBCGAM-US” or “Advisor” or“Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBCGAM-US.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company that follows accounting and reporting guidance under the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Fund Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)No. 2017-08, Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.
Security Valuation:
The Fund has elected to use the amortized cost method to value its securities (other than other investment companies) pursuant to Rule2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which the Board believes approximates fair market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security initially at its cost, and, thereafter, a constant proportionate accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums are recorded until the maturity of the security. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see “Fair Value Measurements” below for additional information). If amortized cost no longer approximates fair value due to credit or other impairments of an issuer, the Fund will determine the fair value of its securities by using pricing and valuation procedures approved by the Board. Investments inopen-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The Board has delegated to the Fund’s Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Fund’s securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Fund’s Advisor, andCo-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management and compliance. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Fund’s pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.
In accordance with Rule2a-7, the fair values of the securities held in the Fund are determined at least once per week using evaluated prices supplied by third-party pricing vendors approved by the Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such asinstitutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. These security values are then compared to the securities’ amortized cost. If a security price is not available from a pricing service or broker-dealer, or Fund Management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value for purposes of this comparison, the security’s fair value will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded.
Fair Value Measurements:
The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.
• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment spreads, etc.
• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2020 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Funds | | Level 1 Quoted Prices | | | Level 2 Significant Observable Inputs | | | Level 3 Significant Unobservable Inputs | | | Total | |

(a) The breakdown of the Fund’s investments by major categories or state classification or political subdivision is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.
During the period ended March 31, 2020, the Fund recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.
Financial Instruments:
Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties whom the Advisor has deemed creditworthy, including primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other large U.S. commercial banks or broker-dealers. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.
Securities pledged by the dealers as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Fund has procedures to monitor additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the market value of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default.
Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by the Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Details of the counterparties and collateral for repurchase agreements are shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.
Credit Enhancement:
Certain obligations held by the Fund have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements and third party insurance.
Investment Transactions and Income:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is bought or sold (“trade date”). Dividend income is recorded on theex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount.
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:
The Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds in the Trust either proportionately based upon the Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within the Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within the Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.
Distributions to Shareholders:
The Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g. paydowns), they are reclassified within the Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.
When-Issued Transactions:
The Fund may engage in when-issued transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain sufficient liquidity so that cash will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued daily beginning on trade date and begin earning interest on the settlement date. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund held no when-issued securities.
3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement with RBCGAM-US under which RBCGAM-US manages the Fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreement requires the Fund to pay RBCGAM-US a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreement, RBCGAM-US is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund as follows:
| | |
| | Annual Rate |
U.S. Government Money Market Fund | | 0.10% |
RBC Institutional Class 1 of the Fund pays the Advisor an annual shareholder services administration fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to RBC Institutional Class 1 shares that is used to compensate financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. This shareholder services administration fee is not paid pursuant to Rule12b-1.
RBCGAM-US has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under an expense limitation agreement in order to maintain the net annual Fund operating expenses (excluding certain fees such as interest, taxes and acquired fund fees and expenses) at 0.20% for RBC Institutional Class 1 until January 31, 2021. During the period ended March 31, 2020, there were no fees waived under this agreement.
RBCGAM-US serves asco-administrator to the Fund. BNY Mellon serves asco-administrator and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the administrative services agreement include providingday-to-day administration of matters related to the Fund, maintenance of the records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the administrative services agreement, RBCGAM-US does not receive an administration services fee. BNY Mellon receives a fee for its services payable by the Fund based in part on the Fund’s average net assets. BNY Mellon’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statement of Operations.

Fund Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
The tax character of distributions during the year ended September 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From | |
| | | | | | | | Total | |
| | Ordinary | | | Total Taxable | | | Distributions | |
| | Income | | | Distributions | | | Paid | |
U.S. Government Money Market Fund | | $ | 90,428,984 | | | $ | 90,428,984 | | | $ | 90,428,984 | |
Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because distributions are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2020.
During the year ended September 30, 2019, the Fund utilized capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $116,187.
As of September 30, 2019, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $12,737 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $444 available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. This capital loss carryforward is not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character.
Under current tax law, Post-October Capital Losses and Late-Year Ordinary Losses may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund did not have any Post-October Capital Losses or Late-Year Ordinary Losses for the year ending September 30, 2019.
7. Line of Credit
The Fund, along with other Funds within the Trust, participates in an uncommitted, unsecured $500,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”), the Funds’ custodian, to be used to fund shareholder redemption requests and for other short-term temporary or emergency general business purposes. The line of credit has a scheduled termination date of August 1, 2020. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the Bank’s prime lending rate per annum. Since multiple funds within the Trust participate in this line of credit, there is no assurance that an individual fund will have access to all or any part of the $500,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2020 and there were no borrowings made by the Fund during the period.
8. Significant Risks
Shareholder concentration risk
As of March 31, 2020, an affiliated broker-dealer omnibus account owned 26.4% of the Fund’s outstanding shares, an unaffiliated omnibus account owned 15.3% of the Fund’s outstanding shares and an unaffiliated shareholder owned 11.2% of the Fund’s outstanding shares. Significant transactions by these shareholders may impact the Fund’s performance.
Market risk
One or more markets in which a Fund invests may go down in value, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, and the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities may fall or fail to rise. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. In addition, global economies and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected, and political, economic and other conditions and events (including, but not limited to, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics,
|
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
and social unrest) in one country, region, or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Furthermore, the occurrence of, among other events, natural orman-made disasters, severe weather or geological events, fires, floods, earthquakes, outbreaks of disease (such asCOVID-19, avian influenza or H1N1/09), epidemics, pandemics, malicious acts, cyber-attacks, terrorist acts or the occurrence of climate change, may also adversely impact the performance of a Fund. Such events could adversely impact issuers, markets and economies over the short- and long-term, including in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. A Fund could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such political or economic conditions or events. Moreover, such negative political and economic conditions and events could disrupt the processes necessary for a Fund’s operations.
In a negative interest rate environment, debt instruments may trade at negative yields, which means the purchaser of the instrument may receive at maturity less than the total amount invested. In addition, in a negative interest rate environment, if a bank charges negative interest rates, instead of receiving interest on deposits, a depositor must pay the bank fees to keep money with the bank. To the extent a Fund holds a debt instrument or has a bank deposit with a negative interest rate, the Fund would generate a negative return on that investment.
In light of current market conditions, interest rates and bond yields in the United States and many other countries are at or near historic lows, and in some cases, such rates and yields are negative. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund’s susceptibility to interest rate risk (i.e., the risks associated with changes in interest rates) may be magnified, its yield and income may be diminished and its performance may be adversely affected (e.g., during periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns). These levels of interest rates (or negative interest rates) may magnify the risks associated with rising interest rates. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, including market volatility and reduced liquidity, and may adversely affect a Fund’s yield, income and performance.
9. Subsequent Events:
Fund Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Shareholder Expense Examples
As a shareholder of the the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section discusses the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) of RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”), including each of its series (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), established in accordance with Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”). The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the 1940 Act, approved the Program on behalf of each Fund, as required pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. The Board also approved the designation of RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC”), the investment adviser to each Fund, as the Program Administrator for the Program. RBC administersday-to-day implementation of the Program through a Liquidity Risk Committee (the “Committee”), as set forth in the Program.
RBC, as Program Administrator, provided the Board with a report addressing the operation of the Program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including, if applicable, the operation of any highly liquid investments minimum (“HLIM”) and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).
The Report covered the year ending December 31, 2019 (the “Review Period”).
I. Key Conclusions of the Report
The Program, as and implemented, is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk. During the Review Period, the Program was implemented and operated effectively to achieve the goal of assessing and managing each Fund’s liquidity risk. No Fund was required to set an HLIM and each Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. There were no material changes to the Program implemented during the Review Period.
II. Summary of the Review
A. Liquidity Risk Assessment and Review
Throughout the Review Period, the Program Administrator, in consultation with investment personnel, monitored the Funds’ portfolio liquidity and liquidity risk on an ongoing basis, as described in the Program and in Board reporting throughout the Review Period.
The Program Administrator also conducted an annual review assessing each Fund’s liquidity risk as described in the Report, in accordance with the requirements of the Program and the Liquidity Rule, taking into account the following factors enumerated in the Liquidity Rule and identified in the Program, as applicable:
a. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including: (i) whether the Fund’s investment strategy is appropriate for anopen-end fund; (ii) the extent to which the Fund’s strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers; (iii) the Fund’s use of borrowings for investment purposes; and (iv) the Fund’s use of derivatives (including for hedging purposes);
b. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and
c. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements and other funding sources.
Investment Strategy and Portfolio Liquidity. The Program Administrator considered the factors identified above, among others, during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions as provided in the Program. Pursuant to the review, the Program Administrator determined that Fund’s investment strategy and use of derivatives are appropriate for anopen-end fund.
Cash Flow. The Funds’ cash flows did not have a material effect on the ability to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
|
LIQUIDITY RISK DISCLOSURE (UNAUDITED) |
Holdings of Cash and Borrowing Arrangements. As described in the Report, the Program Administrator determined that the Funds’ holdings of cash and borrowing arrangements were adequate for meeting the Funds’ expected cash flow needs to meet redemptions during the Review Period.
In light of the assessment and review as discussed above, the Program Administrator did not recommend any material changes in the management of the Funds’ liquidity risks, including with respect to any of the above factors.
B. Portfolio Holdings Classifications
During the Review Period, each Fund’s portfolio holdings (including derivative investments) were classified monthly as Highly Liquid Investments, Moderately Liquid Investments, Less Liquid Investments and Illiquid Investments pursuant to the Program, as required by the Liquidity Rule.
During the Review Period, the Funds classified portfolio investments (including, as applicable, derivatives transactions) according to asset class when appropriate, as described in Section IV.B of the Program.
Market Depth—Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size. In classifying and reviewing its portfolio investments or asset classes (as applicable), the Funds must determine whether trading varying portions of a position in a particular portfolio investment or asset class, in sizes that the Fund would reasonably anticipate trading, is reasonably expected to significantly affect its liquidity, and if so, the Fund must take this determination into account when classifying the liquidity of that investment or asset class. There were no changes to the Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size assumptions for the Funds during the Review period.
Classification Review. As required by the Liquidity Rule, the Funds reviewed liquidity classifications on a monthly basis during the Review Period as described in Section IV of the Program. The Committee met monthly to review its portfolio investments’ classifications in connection with recording the liquidity classification for each portfolio investment for reporting on FormN-PORT. The Program Administrator oversaw the Funds’ process for classifying portfolio holdings under the Rule and reviewed the classifications, as described in the Program. This review included a review of the methodology and data inputs used. During the Review Period, the Program Administrator determined that there were no material operational issues with the process for classifying portfolio holdings.
C. HLIM
The Program Administrator reviewed the process and standards for determining that each Fund primarily holds investments that are highly liquid. There were no changes recommended in the Report with respect to the status of any Fund as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund (“PHLF”) and each Fund qualified as a PHLF on an ongoing basis during the Review Period as described in the Report. Accordingly, an HLIM was not required for any Fund during the Review Period pursuant to the relevant provisions of the Program.
D. Compliance with the 15% Limitation on Illiquid Investments
Pursuant to the Liquidity Rule, no Fund may acquire any illiquid investment if, after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its assets in illiquid investments that are assets (the “15% Limit”). The Program Administrator monitored compliance with the 15% Limit as described in the Program. During the Review Period, the Funds operated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Program with respect to the 15% Limit.
E. Redemptions in Kind
There were no redemptionsin-kind effected by any Fund during the Review Period.
