Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The Fund's total return, based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended November 30, 2012, was 11.38%, 10.39%, 10.51%, 10.90% and 11.69% for the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively. The total return of the Fund's Blended Index was 12.11%, and the total return of the Morningstar's Moderate Allocation Funds Category Average¹ was 11.05% for the same period. The Fund's Blended Index is composed of 50% of the return of the Russell 3000 Index,² 10% of the return of the MSCI All Country World ex-U.S. Index³ and 40% of the return of the Barclays U.S. Universal Index,⁴ which had total returns of 15.95%, 12.19% and 6.75%, respectively, during the reporting period. The Fund's total return for the fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return data of the indices.

The following discussion will focus on the performance of the Fund's Institutional Shares.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Domestic Equities

Domestic equities, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index⁵ (Russell 1000), experienced a rather solid fiscal year. The market rally that began in the final months of 2011 continued through the spring of 2012, as equities responded positively to improvements in employment, consumer and manufacturing data. Markets also were boosted by positive results from the U.S. Treasury's bank stress tests and policy measures in Europe that helped reduce the tail-risk (the risk that returns may be significantly lower than historical averages due to rare events) stemming from the European debt crisis. Similar to last year, however, the markets experienced some weakness over the late spring/early summer period. Economic data softened, and labor market data in the United States came in incrementally weaker, pushing markets down before the Federal Reserve (the Fed) first announced the extension of Operation Twist and then announced another round of quantitative easing (QE3). This helped the markets regain their footing and reach new highs in the weeks before the Presidential election. Post-election, markets again experienced some softness, as the election results were seen as a continuation of the status quo gridlock, and the market began to focus on the impending fiscal cliff. All told, however, the Russell 1000 achieved a 16.19% return, on a total return basis. All 10 sectors in the Russell 1000 Index posted positive returns. The three best performing sectors were: Consumer Discretionary, up 24.8%; Financials, up 24.0%; and Telecom Services, up 24.0%. The three worst sectors were: Energy, up 2.3%; Utilities, up 5.2%; and Materials, up 10.5%.

International Equities

While world markets generally followed a similar pattern as the United States, the severity of the mid-year downturn was much sharper outside the United States, as growth in Europe was anemic at best, and China continued to slow. That said, for the fiscal year, the MSCI All-Country World ex-U.S. Index returned 12.19%.

Within the international markets, developed markets once again outperformed their emerging counterparts.⁶ International developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index,⁷ returned 13.16%, while emerging markets, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index,⁸ returned 11.73% for the fiscal year.

On the currency front, the U.S. dollar gained 5.89% against the yen and 3.42% against the euro, but fell 1.97% against the pound sterling.

Interest Rates

On the fixed-income side, economic and market conditions proved favorable for the Fund. The U.S. economy exhibited a consistently positive growth pattern for gross domestic product (GDP), albeit at a sluggish pace compared to prior recoveries. Strong growth across emerging markets (China, Russia, Brazil and India) helped the United States stay out of recession. The Fed's continued easing of monetary policy further pushed Treasury yields lower, resulting in investors looking to the corporate bond sectors for yield and generating excess returns over comparable maturity U.S. Treasury securities. Treasury market yields fell for all maturity points from 2 years to 30 years over the fiscal year, thus creating further price appreciation for high-quality bond investors.

Intermediate-term maturity yields fell the most (5-50 basis points) over the fiscal year while the long maturities fell 25-45 basis points. As a result, the yield curve flattened considerably over the reporting period, particularly in the “belly of the yield curve” or the 2-year to 10-year maturity range. The 5-year Treasury yield fell 0.34% over the 12 months and finished the reporting period at 0.62%, while the 30-year Treasury yield fell 0.25% over the reporting period to finish at 2.81%.

Fund Performance

Asset Allocation Strategy Performance

For the year ended November 30, 2012, the main contributors to relative performance were the Fund's stock versus bond allocation, the bottom-up U.S. stock selection strategy and the U.S. industry group strategy. Conversely, the Fund was negatively impacted by the foreign versus domestic allocation and the U.S. small cap⁹ versus large cap allocation. During the reporting period, the Fund invested in currency forward and index future contracts for hedging and investment purposes.

Domestic Equities Performance

Within domestic equities, the Fund's bottom-up stock strategy was the strongest contributor to relative performance. Stock selection was the dominant driver behind the strategy's strong performance. Stock selection was particularly successful in Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Financials.

The Fund's domestic industry group strategy also boosted relative performance. Within the group strategy, stock selection provided strong performance as group selection was a minor drag on relative performance. The Fund benefited most from stock selection in Energy, Food Beverage & Tobacco, and Pharmaceuticals & Biotech, as well as allocation decisions in Media and Semiconductors.

The Fund utilized S&P 500 and Russell 2000 futures in order to help achieve the desired exposure to the U.S. large-cap and U.S. small-cap asset classes. The Fund's stock versus bond and small-cap versus large-cap allocation decisions were both net detractors from relative performance, and thus, the use of the aforementioned derivatives to implement those allocation decisions contributed to the underperformance.

International Equities Performance

The Fund utilized various foreign index futures in order to help achieve the desired exposure to various international markets as part of the Fund's developed country selection model. These allocation decisions provided the Fund with a net benefit for the reporting period.

During the reporting period, the Fund also invested in currency options as a hedge against some international market exposures. The hedge added to relative performance.

The Fund's emerging versus developed allocation also helped relative performance. The Fund employed both overweight and underweight allocations to emerging markets at various times throughout the reporting period.

Fixed-Income Performance¹⁰

The bond portion of the Fund contributed positively to Fund performance. Fortunately, a large positive for the Fund, sector management, more than outweighed a large negative, duration¹² management. Yield curve management and security selection were small detractors from performance, while currency management had a negligible effect on performance. Duration management was a large detractor, as the Fund was shorter than the BAB's interest sensitivity in a period of declining interest rates. The portfolio was overweighted in spread sectors such as corporates, emerging markets and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) that appreciated considerably compared to Treasuries during the fall on stronger economic statistics. Security selection detracted from performance over the reporting period, particularly in investment-grade,¹³ long-term insurance company securities, trade finance investments, a temporary

position in the iShares Barclays Aggregate and a temporary hedge in a high-yield credit default swap index (CDX). Security selection in a temporary hedge in investment-grade CDX, CMBS, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPs) and high-yield¹⁴ all contributed positively to the Fund's performance.

Security selection was notably negative in two insurance names, including Union Central Life Insurance and Pacific Life. During the reporting period, the Fund used Treasury futures to manage the portfolio's overall interest rate exposure and yield curve exposures. The use of these derivatives detracted from performance.

1	Morningstar's Moderate Allocation Funds Category Average is the category of funds which seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in stocks, bonds and cash. These funds typically invest between 50% to 70% of assets in equities and the remainder in fixed income and cash. The average is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an average.
2	The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 3000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased, and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3	The MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) ex-U.S. Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. As of November 2012, the MSCI ACWI consisted of 44 country indices comprising 24 developed and 21 emerging market country indices. The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The emerging market country indices included are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
4	Barclays Capital changed its name from “Barclays Capital U.S. Universal Index” to “Barclays U.S. Universal Index.” The Barclays U.S. Universal Index represents the union of the U.S. Aggregate Index, U.S. Corporate High-Yield, Investment Grade 144A Index, Eurodollar Index, U.S. Emerging Markets Index and the non-ERISA eligible portion of the CMBS Index. The index covers USD-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment-grade or below investment-grade. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
5	The Russell 1000 Index measures the performance of the large-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe. It is a subset of the Russell 3000® Index and includes approximately 1000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Russell 1000 represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
6	International investing involves special risks including currency risk, increased volatility, political risks, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. Prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries, and currency risk and political risks are accentuated in emerging markets.
7	The MSCI EAFE Index (Europe, Australasia, and the Far East) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the United States and Canada. As of November 2012, the MSCI EAFE Index consisted of the following 22 developed market country indices: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

8	The MSCI Emerging Markets Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. As of November 2012, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index consisted of the following 21 emerging market country indices: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
9	Small company stocks may be less liquid and subject to greater price volatility than large company stocks.
10	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
11	Barclays Capital changed the name of the BAB Index from “Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index” to “Barclays Aggregate Bond Index.” The Barclays Aggregate Bond Index (BAB) is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment-grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, MBS (agency fixed-rate and hybrid ARM pass-throughs), ABS and CMBS. The index is unmanaged, and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.
12	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.
13	Investment-grade securities are securities that are rated at least “BBB- (minus)” or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Noninvestment-grade securities are securities that are not rated at least “BBB- (minus)” or unrated securities of a comparable quality. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower credit-worthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.
14	High-yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment-grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

The Blended Index, S&P 500, BAB and LBFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and the average.
2	Barclays Capital changed the name of the BUSU Index and BAB Index from “Barclays Capital U.S. Universal Index” and “Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index” to “Barclays U.S. Universal Index” and “Barclays Aggregate Bond Index”. The Blended Index is a custom blended index comprised of 50% of the RU3000, 10% of the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. and 40% of the BUSU. The RU300 measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Russell 3000 Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive, unbiased and stable barometer of the broad market and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The MSCI ACWI ex U.S. (All Country World ex U.S.) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. As of May 27, 2010, the MSCI ACWI ex U.S. consisted of 45 country indices comprising 24 developed and 21 emerging market country indices. The developed market country indices included are: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. The emerging market country indices included are: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Russia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. The BUSU represents the union of the U.S. Aggregate Index, U.S. Corporate High-Yield, Investment Grade 144A Index, Eurodollar Index, U.S. Emerging Markets Index and the non-ERISA eligible portion of the CMBS Index. The index covers USD-denominated, taxable bonds that are rated either investment grade or below investment grade. The S&P 500 is an unmanaged, capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The BAB is an unmanaged index composed of securities from the Barclay's Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage- Backed Securities Index and the Asset-Backed Securities Index. The RU300, MSCI ACWI ex U.S., BUSU, S&P 500 and BAB are not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The indexes are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3	The LBFA represents the average of the total returns reported by all of the mutual funds designated by Lipper, Inc. as falling into the category indicated, and is not adjusted to reflect any sales charges. However, these total returns are reported net of expenses or other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance.
4	The Fund's Class R Shares commenced operations on April 8, 2003. The Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operation on June 12, 2009. The Fund offers three other classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of Class R Shares and Institutional Shares, the performance information shown is for the Fund's Class A Shares. In relation to Class R Shares, the performance of Class A Shares has been adjusted to reflect expenses applicable to Class R Shares. In relation to the Institutional Shares, the performance of Class A Shares has not been adjusted to reflect the expenses of Institutional Shares since Institutional Shares have a lower expense ratio than the expense ratio of the Class A Shares. The performance of Class A Shares has been adjusted to remove any voluntary waiver of Fund expenses related to the Class A Shares that may have occurred during the period prior to the commencement of operations of Institutional Shares. Additionally, for both the Class R Shares and Institutional Shares, the performance information shown below has been adjusted to reflect the absence of sales charges applicable to Class A Shares.

For purposes of this table, the affiliated investment company (other than an affiliated money market mutual fund) is not treated as a single portfolio security, but rather the Fund is treated as owning a pro rata portion of each security and each other asset and liability owned by the affiliated investment company.

5	Based upon net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or value of the derivative contracts as applicable. Derivative contracts may consist of futures, forwards, options and swaps. The impact of a derivative contract on the Fund's performance may be larger than its unrealized appreciation (depreciation) or value may indicate. In many cases, the notional value or amount of a derivative contract may provide a better indication of the contract's significance to the portfolio. More complete information regarding the Fund's direct investments in derivative contracts, including unrealized appreciation (depreciation), value and notional values or amounts of such contracts, can be found in the table at the end of the Portfolio of Investments included in this Report.

Notes to Financial Statements

November 30, 2012

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund offers five classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Institutional Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to provide relative safety of capital with the possibility of long-term growth of capital and income. Consideration is also given to current income.

On July 15, 2011, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. – Managed Portfolio (the “Managed Portfolio”), an open-end investment company in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of the Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Managed Portfolio's shareholders on July 14, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two portfolios with comparable investment objectives and strategies. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Managed Portfolio was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2010, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2011, are as follows:

Net investment income*	$ 2,944,550
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments	$892,424
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations	$ 3,836,974

* Net investment income includes $28,844 of pro forma eliminated expenses.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Managed Portfolio that have been included in the Fund's Statement of Operations as of November 30, 2011.

For every one share of EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. - Managed Portfolio Class A Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.830 shares of the Fund's Class A Shares.

For every one share of EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. - Managed Portfolio Class B Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.829 shares of the Fund's Class A Shares.

For every one share of EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. - Managed Portfolio Class I Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.832 shares of the Fund's Institutional Shares.

The Fund received net assets from the Managed Portfolio as the result of the tax-free reorganization as follows:

Shares of the Fund Issued	EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. Managed Portfolio Net Assets Received	Unrealized Appreciation1	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
2,115,649	$38,811,344	$5,446,437	$287,321,994	$326,133,338

1 Unrealized Appreciation is included in the EquiTrust Series Fund, Inc. – Managed Portfolio Net Assets Received amount shown above.

On November 18, 2011, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Federated Balanced Allocation Fund (“Balanced Allocation Fund”), an open-end investment company in a tax-free reorganization in exchange for shares of the Fund, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by Balanced Allocation Fund's shareholders on November 8, 2011. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two portfolios with comparable investment objectives and strategies. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Balanced Allocation Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on December 1, 2010, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended November 30, 2011, are as follows:

Net investment income*	$3,210,730
Net realized and unrealized loss on investments	$ (4,447,108)
Net decrease in net assets resulting from operations	$ (1,236,378)

* Net investment income includes $33,061 of pro forma additional expenses.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings from the Balanced Allocation Fund that has been included in the Fund's Statement of Operations as of November 30, 2011.

For every one share of Federated Balanced Allocation Fund Class A Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.458 shares of the Fund's Class A Shares.

For every one share of Federated Balanced Allocation Fund Class B Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.463 shares of the Fund's Class B Shares.

For every one share of Federated Balanced Allocation Fund Class C Shares exchanged, a shareholder received 0.464 shares of the Fund's Class C Shares.

1 Unrealized Depreciation is included in the Federated Balanced Allocation Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Equity securities listed on an exchange or traded through a regulated market system are valued at their last reported sale price or official closing price in their principal exchange or market.
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium), which approximates market value.
■	Shares of other mutual funds are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Annual Shareholder Report

44

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Global Investment Management Corporation (“Adviser”) and the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services, and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

The Trustees also have adopted procedures requiring an investment to be priced at its fair value whenever the Adviser determines that a significant event affecting the value of the investment has occurred between the time as of which the price of the investment would otherwise be determined and the time as of which the NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the investment's value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Examples of significant events that may occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, or after the time of a price evaluation provided by a pricing service or a dealer, include:

■	With respect to securities traded in foreign markets, significant trends in U.S. equity markets or in the trading of foreign securities index futures contracts;
■	Political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which an issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded; and
■	Announcements concerning matters such as acquisitions, recapitalizations, litigation developments, a natural disaster affecting the issuer's operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer's industry.

Annual Shareholder Report

45

The Trustees have approved the use of a pricing service to determine the fair value of equity securities traded principally in foreign markets when the Adviser determines that there has been a significant trend in the U.S. equity markets or in index futures trading. For other significant events, the Fund may seek to obtain more current quotations or price evaluations from alternative pricing sources. If a reliable alternative pricing source is not available, the Fund will determine the fair value of the investment using another method approved by the Trustees.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements for short-term liquidity purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to require the other party to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercises “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the other party to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the other party or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price. Under the terms of the repurchase agreement, any amounts received by the Fund in excess of the repurchase price and related transaction costs must be remitted to the other party.

The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements in which eligible securities are transferred into joint trading accounts maintained by the custodian or sub-custodian for investment companies and other clients advised by the Fund's Adviser and its affiliates. The Fund will participate on a pro rata basis with the other investment companies and clients in its share of the securities transferred under such repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of such securities.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Positive or negative inflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) are included in interest income. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class R Shares and Institutional Shares may bear distribution services fees, shareholder services fees, account administration fees and certain transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees unique to those classes. For the year ended November 30, 2012, transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees and account administration fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees Incurred	Account Administration Fees Incurred
Class A Shares	$350,748	$1,700
Class B Shares	78,547	—
Class C Shares	118,322	—
Class R Shares	221,570	—
Institutional Shares	57,227	—
TOTAL	$826,414	$1,700

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended November 30, 2012, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of November 30, 2012, tax years 2009 through 2012 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America, the state of Maryland, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Annual Shareholder Report

47

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed by governments of countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Fund accrues and applies such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or gains are earned.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Swap Contracts

Swap contracts involve two parties that agree to exchange the returns (or the differential in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments, instruments, indices or other measures. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” for a predetermined period of time. The Fund enters into interest rate, total return, credit default, currency and other swap agreements. Risks may arise upon entering into swap agreements from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contract from unanticipated changes in the value of the swap agreement. The Fund uses credit default swaps to manage exposure to a given issuer or sector by either selling protection to increase exposure, or buying protection to reduce exposure. The “buyer” in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the “seller” a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If an event of default occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value, or the “par value,” of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. In connection with these agreements, securities may be identified as collateral in accordance with the terms of the respective swap agreements to provide assets of value and recourse in the event of default or bankruptcy/insolvency. Recovery values are assumed by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is typically determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specific valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value. The Fund's maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk, either as the protection buyer or as the protection seller, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty and by the posting of collateral by the counterparty to the Fund to cover the Fund's exposure to the counterparty.

Upfront payments received or paid by the Fund will be reflected as an asset or liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Changes in the value of swap contracts are included in Swaps, at value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and periodic payments are reported as Net realized gain (loss) on swap contracts in the Statement of Operations.

At November 30, 2012, the Fund had no outstanding swap contracts.

The average notional amount of credit default swap contracts held by the Fund throughout the period was $37,676,923. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the fiscal period.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. There is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

Futures contracts outstanding at period end are listed after the Fund's Portfolio of Investments.

The average notional value of long and short futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period was $341,259,955 and $55,741,594, respectively. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout fiscal period.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Fund enters into foreign exchange contracts for the delayed delivery of securities or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund enters into foreign exchange contracts to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund's securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date.

At November 30, 2012, the Fund had no outstanding foreign exchange contracts.

The average value at settlement date payable and receivable of foreign exchange contracts purchased and sold by the Fund throughout the period was $12,581 and $6,821, respectively. This is based on the contracts held as of each month-end throughout the fiscal period.

Foreign Currency Translation

The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (FCs) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Annual Shareholder Report

49

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year-end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Restricted Securities

The Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. Restricted securities are securities that either: (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Additional information on restricted securities, excluding securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by the Trustees, if applicable, held at November 30, 2012, is as follows:

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for foreign currency transactions, partnership income reclassifications, swap income reclassifications, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, litigation payments and short-term capital gain distribution reclassifications to ordinary income.

For the year ended November 30, 2012, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$(31,813)	$414,017	$(382,204)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

Annual Shareholder Report

53

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended November 30, 2012 and 2011, was as follows:

	2012	2011
Ordinary income	$3,616,714	$2,203,747

As of November 30, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$1,337,963
Undistributed long-term capital gains	$4,657,592
Net unrealized appreciation	$31,432,408
Capital loss carryforwards	$(10,636,270)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales, partnership adjustments, defaulted bond interest and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At November 30, 2012, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $342,912,014. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes excluding: a) any unrealized appreciation/depreciation resulting from the translation of FCs to U.S. dollars of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities; and b) futures contracts was $31,944,405. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $34,335,295 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $2,390,890.

At November 30, 2012, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $10,636,270 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

Expiration Year	Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
2015	$2,829,851	NA	$2,829,851
2016	$2,922,616	NA	$2,922,616
2017	$676,009	NA	$676,009
2018	$4,207,794	NA	$4,207,794

Annual Shareholder Report

54

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $6,253,841 to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended November 30, 2012.

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets from Federated Target ETF Fund 2015, Federated Target ETF Fund 2025, Federated Target ETF Fund 2035 and Federated Balanced Allocation Fund, certain capital loss carryforwards listed above may be limited.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

Prior to September 1, 2012, the administrative fee received during any fiscal year was at least $150,000 per portfolio and $40,000 per each additional class of Shares. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended November 30, 2012, FAS waived $22,956 of its fee.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. For the year ended November 30, 2012, FSC retained $15,135 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $902 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares, $40,498 relating to redemptions of Class B Shares and $2,409 relating to redemptions of Class C Shares.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF Federated Asset Allocation fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of the Federated Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), as of November 30, 2012, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Federated Asset Allocation Fund as of November 30, 2012, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from June 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 6/1/2012	Ending Account Value 11/30/2012	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,070.10	$6.31

Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,014.75	$10.33
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,015.10	$9.97
Class R Shares	$1,000	$1,016.75	$8.32
Institutional Shares	$1,000	$1,020.30	$4.75

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/366 (to reflect the one-half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	1.22%
Class B Shares	2.05%
Class C Shares	1.98%
Class R Shares	1.65%
Institutional Shares	0.94%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2012

Federated Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2012 meetings the Fund's investment advisory and subadvisory contracts for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding these contracts reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory and subadvisory contracts.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent to which the Board members are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. Consistent with these judicial decisions, the Board also considered management fees (including any components thereof) charged to institutional and other clients of the Adviser and subadviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

Annual Shareholder Report

68

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory and subadvisory contracts occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory and subadvisory contracts included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's and subadviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in the mutual fund industry and how the Federated

Annual Shareholder Report

69

funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant, given the high degree of competition in the mutual fund business. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a generally reliable indication of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes. In this regard, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes; different associated costs; different portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows; and portfolio manager time spent in review of securities pricing. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory contracts.

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn assisted the Board in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory and subadvisory contracts.

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups are relevant in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees.

For the periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the five-year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one-year and three-year periods. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund.

Annual Shareholder Report

70

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution or elimination of these voluntary waivers.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, although they may apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs (and the unavoidable arbitrary aspects of that exercise) and the lack of consensus on how to allocate those costs may render such allocation information unreliable. The allocation information was considered in the analysis by the Board but was determined to be of limited use.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer noted the limited availability of such information, but nonetheless concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund complex as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size. The Senior Officer did not recommend institution of breakpoints in pricing Federated's fund advisory services at this time.

Annual Shareholder Report

71

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's investment advisory fee, after waivers and expense reimbursements, if any, was above the median of the relevant peer group. The Board reviewed the fees and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund.

The Senior Officer noted that, considering the totality of the circumstances, and all of the factors referenced within his Evaluation, he had concluded that, subject to comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds was reasonable and that Federated appeared to provide appropriate advisory and administrative services to the Fund for the fees paid. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory and subadvisory contracts.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory and subadvisory contracts on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1) The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

(2) Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

PROCEDURES

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
