Columbia Government Money Market Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.

President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) (applied as follows: first year 5%; second year 4%; third and forth years 3%; fifth year 2%; sixth year 1%; no sales charge thereafter). The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The performance of different share classes may vary from that shown because of differences in fees and expenses. The Fund’s returns reflect the effect of fee waivers/expense reimbursements, if any. Without such waivers/reimbursements, the Fund’s returns would be lower. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com or calling 800.345.6611.
* | The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Fund, if shown, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the Fund’s oldest share class. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information. |
Prior to October 1, 2016, the Fund operated as a prime money market fund and invested in certain types of securities that the Fund is no longer permitted to hold to any significant extent (i.e., over 0.5% of total assets). Consequently, the performance information may have been different if the current investment limitations had been in effect during the period prior to the Fund’s conversion to a government money market fund.
The Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
From time to time, the Investment Manager and its affiliates may limit the expenses of the Fund for the purpose of increasing the yield. This expense limitation policy may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. Had the Investment Manager and its affiliates not limited the expenses of the Fund during the six months ended January 31, 2017, the annualized expense ratios would have been 0.62% for Class A, 1.27% for Class B, 0.74% for Class C, 0.33% for Class I, 0.74% for Class R, 0.38% for Class R5, 0.62% for Class W and 0.52% for Class Z. The actual expenses paid would have been $3.16 for Class A, $6.47 for Class B, $3.77 for Class C, $1.68 for Class I, $3.77 for Class R, $1.94 for Class R5, $3.16 for Class W and $2.65 for Class Z; the hypothetical expenses paid would have been $3.19 for Class A, $6.53 for Class B, $3.81 for Class C, $1.70 for Class I, $3.81 for Class R, $1.96 for Class R5, $3.19 for Class W and $2.68 for Class Z.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
The accompanying Notes to Financial Statements are an integral part of this statement.

Portfolio of Investments (continued)

Fair value measurements (continued)
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Short-term securities are valued using amortized cost, as permitted under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of these securities, but because the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets ($) | Level 2 other significant observable inputs ($) | Level 3 significant unobservable inputs ($) | Total ($) |

Total Investments | — | 1,096,690,701 | — | 1,096,690,701 |
See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Government Money Market Fund (formerly known as Columbia Money Market Fund) (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Effective October 1, 2016, Columbia Money Market Fund was renamed Columbia Government Money Market Fund.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are not subject to any front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC).
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Y shares commenced operations on March 1, 2017.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Securities in the Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost valuation method permitted in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act provided certain conditions are met, including that the Board of Trustees continues to believe that the amortized cost valuation method fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share of the Fund. This method involves valuing a portfolio security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant accretion or amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, respectively. The Board of Trustees has established procedures intended to stabilize the Fund’s net asset value for purposes of purchases and redemptions of Fund shares at $1.00 per share. These procedures include determinations, at such intervals as the Board of Trustees deems appropriate and reasonable in light of current market conditions, of the extent, if any, to which the Fund’s market-based net asset value deviates from $1.00 per share. In the event such deviation exceeds 1/2 of 1%, the Board of Trustees will promptly consider what action, if any, should be initiated.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.
Offsetting of assets and liabilities
The following table presents the Fund’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of January 31, 2017:
| RBC Capital Markets ($) | TD Securities ($) | Total ($) |
Assets | | | |
Repurchase agreements | 75,000,000 | 36,400,000 | 111,400,000 |
Total Financial and Derivative Net Assets | 75,000,000 | 36,400,000 | 111,400,000 |
Total collateral received (pledged) (a) | 75,000,000 | 36,400,000 | 111,400,000 |
Net Amount (b) | — | — | — |
(a) | In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown due to overcollateralization. |
(b) | Represents the net amount due from/(to) counterparties in the event of default. |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized daily.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt and taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were earned or more frequently to seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.390% to 0.180% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.379% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Total transfer agency fees for Class I shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to
Columbia Government Money Market Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 21 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Class I shares. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Class I shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.27% |
Class B | 0.27 |
Class C | 0.28 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class R | 0.28 |
Class R5 | 0.01 |
Class W | 0.28 |
Class Z | 0.28 |
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). SDC was the legacy Seligman funds’ former transfer agent.
The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At January 31, 2017, the Fund’s total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $48,161. The liability remaining at January 31, 2017 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $27,117 and is recorded as a part of the payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. SDC is owned by six associated investment companies, including the Fund. The Fund’s ownership interest in SDC at January 31, 2017 is recorded as a part of other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at a cost of $3,719, which approximates the fair value of the ownership interest.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, and a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.85%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund did not pay fees for Class A, Class C, Class R and Class W shares. For Class B shares, of the 0.85% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund paid fees equal to 0.75% of the 0.85% for Class B shares.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $3,929,000 and $1,238,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.

Sales charges
CDSCs received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 3,856 |
Class B | 1 |
Class C | 5,219 |
Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| Fee rates contractual through November 30, 2017 |
Class A | 0.62% |
Class B | 1.27 |
Class C | 1.27 |
Class I | 0.33 |
Class R | 0.77 |
Class R5 | 0.38 |
Class W | 0.62 |
Class Z | 0.52 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition, from time to time, the Investment Manager and its affiliates may waive or absorb expenses of the Fund for the purposes of allowing the Fund to avoid a negative net yield or to increase the Fund’s positive net yield. The Fund’s yield would be negative if Fund expenses exceed Fund income. Any such expense limitation is voluntary and may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $1,096,691,000.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 6. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Government money market fund risk
Although government money market funds (such as the Fund) may seek to preserve the value of shareholders’ investment at $1.00 per share, the net asset values of such money market fund shares can fall, and in infrequent cases in the past have fallen, below $1.00 per share, potentially causing shareholders who redeem their shares at such net asset values to lose money from their original investment.
At times of (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or a few large investors make a significant redemption of Fund shares, (ii) insufficient levels of cash in the Fund’s portfolio to satisfy redemption activity, and (iii) disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in order to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Sales of portfolio securities at such times could result in losses to the Fund and cause the net asset value of Fund shares to fall below $1.00 per share. Additionally, in some cases, the default of a single portfolio security could cause the net asset value of Fund shares to fall below $1.00 per share. In addition, neither the Investment Manager nor any of its affiliates has a legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that they or any person will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. The Fund may suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable regulations.
It is possible that, during periods of low prevailing interest rates or otherwise, the income from portfolio securities may be less than the amount needed to pay ongoing Fund operating expenses and may prevent payment of any dividends or distributions to Fund shareholders or cause the net asset value of Fund shares to fall below $1.00 per share. In such cases, the Fund may reduce or eliminate the payment of such dividends or distributions or seek to reduce certain of its operating expenses. There is no guarantee that such actions would enable the Fund to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 79.3% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 7. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 8. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report
January 31, 2017
Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund |
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 3.00%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com/ or calling 800.345.6611.
* | The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Fund, if shown, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the Fund’s oldest share class.

Total | 100.0 |
Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income investments (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.
August 1, 2016 – January 31, 2017 |
| Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | Account value at the end of the period ($) | Expenses paid during the period ($) | Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%) |
| Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual |
Class A | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 962.00 | 1,021.35 | 4.05 | 4.17 | 0.81 |
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 958.40 | 1,017.53 | 7.78 | 8.02 | 1.56 |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 958.30 | 1,017.53 | 7.78 | 8.02 | 1.56 |
Class R4 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 960.80 | 1,022.63 | 2.80 | 2.89 | 0.56 |
Class R5 | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 963.10 | 1,022.57 | 2.85 | 2.94 | 0.57 |
Class Z | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 963.00 | 1,022.63 | 2.80 | 2.89 | 0.56 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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

Fair value measurements (continued)
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. In addition, Class A shares purchased on or after February 19, 2015 are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 0.75% on certain investments of $500,000 or more if redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Y shares commenced operations on March 1, 2017.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or
34 | Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically
Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund |
| 35 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Inverse floater program transactions
The Fund may enter into transactions in which it transfers to trusts fixed rate municipal bonds in exchange for cash and residual interests in the trusts’ assets and cash flows, which are in the form of inverse floating rate securities. The trusts fund the purchases of the municipal bonds by issuing short-term floating rate notes to third parties. The residual interests held by the Fund (inverse floating rate securities) include the right of the Fund (i) to cause the holders of the short-term floating rate notes to tender their notes at par, and (ii) to transfer the municipal bonds from the trusts to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trusts. The municipal bonds transferred to the trusts, if any, remain in the Fund’s investments in securities and the related short-term floating rate notes are reflected as Fund liabilities under the caption “Short-term floating rate notes outstanding” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The liability approximates the fair market value of the short-term notes. The notes issued by the trusts have interest rates that are multi-modal, which means that they can be reset to a new or different mode at the reset date (e.g., mode can be daily, weekly, monthly, or a fixed specific date) at the discretion of the holder of the inverse floating rate security. The floating rate note holders have the option to tender their notes to the trusts for redemption at par at each reset date. The income received by the inverse floating rate security holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating rate note holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floating rate security holder bears substantially all of the underlying bond’s downside investment risk and also benefits disproportionately from any

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
potential appreciation of the underlying bond’s value. The inverse floating rate security holder will be subject to greater interest rate risk than if they were to hold the underlying bond because the interest rate is dependent on both the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond and the short-term interest rate paid on the floating rate notes. The inverse floating rate security holder is also subject to the credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk associated with the underlying bond. The bonds held by the trusts serve as collateral for the short-term floating rate notes outstanding. Contractual maturities and interest rates of the municipal bonds held in trusts, if any, at January 31, 2017 are presented in the Portfolio of Investments. Interest and fee expense related to the short-term floating rate notes, which is accrued daily, is presented in the Statement of Operations and corresponds to an equal increase in interest income from the fixed rate municipal bonds held in trust. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the average value of short-term floating rate notes outstanding was $3,000,000 and the annualized average interest rate and fees related to these short-term floating rate notes were 0.67% and 0.52%, respectively.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt and taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.480% to 0.290% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.477% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.

Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.07% |
Class B | 0.07 |
Class C | 0.07 |
Class R4 | 0.07 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class Z | 0.07 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $240,000 and $236,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.

Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 343,042 |
Class C | 5,621 |
Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 0.83% | 0.80% |
Class B | 1.58 | 1.55 |
Class C | 1.58 | 1.55 |
Class R4 | 0.58 | 0.55 |
Class R5 | 0.59 | 0.56 |
Class Z | 0.58 | 0.55 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
870,352,000 | 39,055,000 | (16,950,000) | 22,105,000 |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $213,852,587 and $93,727,923, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 7. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Illinois geographic concentration risk
To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investments in the municipal securities issued by a particular state and political sub-divisions of the state, the Fund will be particularly affected by political and economic conditions and developments in such state in which it invests. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a municipal bond fund which is more geographically diversified. The value of the municipal securities owned by the Fund also may be adversely affected by future changes in federal or state income tax laws.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
42 | Columbia Strategic Municipal Income Fund | |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 67.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 8. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 9. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report
January 31, 2017
Columbia Minnesota Tax-Exempt Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Minnesota Tax-Exempt Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income investments (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

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

Portfolio of Investments (continued)

Fair value measurements (continued)
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees Directors (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets ($) | Level 2 other significant observable inputs ($) | Level 3 significant unobservable inputs ($) | Investments measured at net asset value ($) | Total ($) |

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Minnesota Tax-Exempt Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a non-diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Y shares commenced operations on March 1, 2017.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt and taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.470% to 0.310% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.459% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R5 shares.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.06% |
Class B | 0.06 |
Class C | 0.06 |
Class R4 | 0.06 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class Z | 0.06 |
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). SDC was the legacy Seligman funds’ former transfer agent.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At January 31, 2017, the Fund’s total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $23,522. The liability remaining at January 31, 2017 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $17,286 and is recorded as a part of the payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $100,000 and $434,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of September 30, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 300,380 |
Class C | 5,547 |
Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 0.87% | 0.86% |
Class B | 1.62 | 1.61 |
Class C | 1.62 | 1.61 |
Class R4 | 0.62 | 0.61 |
Class R5 | 0.63 | 0.62 |
Class Z | 0.62 | 0.61 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions,

costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
560,387,000 | 17,655,000 | (7,636,000) | 10,019,000 |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
2016 ($) | 2017 ($) | 2018 ($) | 2019 ($) | No expiration short-term ($) | No expiration long-term ($) | Total ($) |
513,933 | — | — | — | — | — | 513,933 |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $102,756,698 and $76,472,659, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.

Note 7. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Geographic concentration risk
The Fund may be particularly susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within the specific geographic regions in which the Fund invests. Currency devaluations could occur in countries that have not yet experienced currency devaluation to date, or could continue to occur in countries that have already experienced such devaluations. The Fund’s NAV may be more volatile than the NAV of a more geographically diversified fund.
High-yield investments risk
Securities and other debt instruments held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds) and unrated debt instruments of comparable quality expose the Fund to a greater risk of loss of principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade securities. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience a default than higher-rated debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Municipal securities risk
Securities issued by a particular state and its instrumentalities are subject to the risk of unfavorable developments in such state. A municipal security can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, regulatory, demographic or political changes as well as changes in a particular state’s (state and its instrumentalities’) financial, economic or other condition and prospects. Because the Fund invests significantly in municipal securities issued by the State of New York and its political sub-divisions, the Fund will be particularly affected by any such changes in or otherwise impacting New York and its political sub-divisions.
Non-diversification risk
A non-diversified fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.
34 | Columbia Minnesota Tax-Exempt Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 77.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 8. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 9. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report

Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 3.00%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only.

Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income investments (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, after dropping the highest and lowest available ratings. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Currency Legend
Fair Value Measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and to manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the
22 | Columbia Limited Duration Credit Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.
The following table is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) at January 31, 2017:
| Asset derivatives | |
Risk exposure category | Statement of assets and liabilities location | Fair value ($) |
Interest rate risk | Net assets — unrealized appreciation on futures contracts | 517,822* |
* | Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) as reported in the tables following the Portfolio of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported in receivables or payables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.430% to 0.280% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.427% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.12% |
Class B | 0.12 |
Class C | 0.12 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R4 | 0.12 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.12 |
Class Y | 0.00 (a) |
Class Z | 0.12 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $639,000 and $628,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 85,115 |

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 0.80% | 0.83% |
Class B | 1.55 | 1.58 |
Class C | 1.55 | 1.58 |
Class I | 0.47 | 0.46 |
Class K | 0.77 | 0.76 |
Class R4 | 0.55 | 0.58 |
Class R5 | 0.52 | 0.51 |
Class W | 0.80 | 0.83 |
Class Y | 0.47 | 0.46 |
Class Z | 0.55 | 0.58 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized (depreciation) ($) |
740,861,000 | 3,521,000 | (3,884,000) | (363,000) |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
2017 ($) | 2018 ($) | 2019 ($) | No expiration short-term ($) | No expiration long-term ($) | Total ($) |

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $417,279,197 and $404,907,627, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017, of which $39,761,687 and $19,959,375, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 62.4% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report
January 31, 2017
Columbia Disciplined Core Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Disciplined Core Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com or calling 800.345.6611.

Since the Fund launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
The Fund’s annualized expense ratio excludes the impact of an expense reimbursement from a third party due to overbilling.

Currency Legend
Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily).

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Disciplined Core Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price on the foreign exchange in which such securities are primarily traded. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, including, if available, utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

(including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income distribution. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.750% to 0.550% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.631% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.

Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.13% |
Class B | 0.13 |
Class C | 0.13 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.13 |
Class R4 | 0.13 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.13 |
Class Y | 0.00 (a) |
Class Z | 0.13 |
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). SDC was the legacy Seligman funds’ former transfer agent.
The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At January 31, 2017, the Fund’s total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $32,993. The liability remaining at January 31, 2017 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $19,214 and is recorded as a part of the payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. SDC is owned by six associated investment companies, including the Fund. The Fund’s ownership interest in SDC at January 31, 2017 is recorded as a part of other assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at a cost of $22,506, which approximates the fair value of the ownership interest.

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $5,338,000 and $1,235,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $1,411,010,527 and $1,638,498,819, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 85.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Technology and technology-related investment risk
The Fund may be more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector, as well as other technology-related sectors (collectively, the technology sectors) than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the technology sectors are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report

Columbia Income Opportunities Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com or calling 800.345.6611.
* | The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Fund, if shown, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the Fund’s oldest share class. Since the Fund launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information. |
The Bank of America Merrill Lynch (the BofAML) BB-B U.S. Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of high yield bonds. The index is subject to a 2% cap on allocation to any one issuer. The 2% cap is intended to provide broad diversification and better reflect the overall character of the high yield market.
Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Fund may not match those in an index.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income investments (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the average rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the average of the two rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Class Z | 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,038.90 | 1,021.30 | 4.26 | 4.22 | 0.82 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.
The Fund’s annualized expense ratio excludes the impact of an expense reimbursement from a third party due to overbilling.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
The accompanying Notes to Financial Statements are an integral part of this statement.
14 | Columbia Income Opportunities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Portfolio of Investments (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Fair value measurements (continued)
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

Fair value measurements (continued)
See the Portfolio of Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.
The Fund does not hold any significant investments (greater than one percent of net assets) categorized as Level 3.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances.
Certain corporate bonds, common stock, preferred stocks and warrants classified as Level 3 are valued using an income approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered estimates of future distributions from the liquidation of company assets or potential actions related to the respective company’s bankruptcy filing. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the bankruptcy filings would result in a directionally similar change to estimates of future distributions
Certain corporate bonds and common stock classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, trades of similar securities, single market quotations from broker dealers, estimated earnings of the respective company, market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies, and the position of the security within the respective company’s capital structure. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in estimated earnings of the respective company may result in a change to the comparable companies and market multiples utilized.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Income Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use

| 31 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.
The following table is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) at January 31, 2017:

Investments in senior loans
The Fund may invest in senior loan assignments. When the Fund purchases an assignment of a senior loan, the Fund typically has direct rights against the borrower; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. Although certain senior loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In the event that the administrator or collateral agent of a loan becomes insolvent, enters into receivership or bankruptcy, the Fund may incur costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The risk of loss is greater for unsecured or subordinated loans. In addition, senior loan assignments are vulnerable to market, economic or other conditions or events that may reduce the demand for senior loan assignments and certain senior loan assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
The Fund may enter into senior loan assignments where all or a portion of the loan may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are generally traded and priced in the same manner as other senior loan securities and are disclosed as unfunded senior loan commitments in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments with a corresponding payable for investments purchased. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities to cover these commitments.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Trade date for senior loans purchased in the primary market is the date on which the loan is allocated. Trade date for senior loans purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital
34 | Columbia Income Opportunities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
The Fund may receive other income from senior loans, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest Income in the Statement of Operations.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.660% to 0.400% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.617% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the

average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.22% |
Class B | 0.22 |
Class C | 0.22 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.22 |
Class R4 | 0.22 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.22 |
Class Y | 0.00 (a) |
Class Z | 0.22 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $1,810,000 and $1,034,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 186,363 |

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 1.07% | 1.07% |

Class Y | 0.66 | 0.65 |
Class Z | 0.82 | 0.82 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
2,618,679,000 | 103,739,000 | (29,805,000) | 73,934,000 |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $726,203,352 and $769,761,292, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
High-yield investments risk
Securities and other debt instruments held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds) and unrated debt instruments of comparable quality expose the Fund to a greater risk of loss of principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade securities. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience a default than higher-rated debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, one unaffiliated shareholders of record owned 16.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 63.3% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.
August 1, 2016 — January 31, 2017 |
| Account value at the beginning of the period ($) | Account value at the end of the period ($) | Expenses paid during the period ($) | Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%) |
| Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual | Hypothetical | Actual |
| 1,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 1,002.40 | 1,025.43 | 0.05 | 0.05 | 0.01 |
Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical assets ($) | Level 2 other significant observable inputs ($) | Level 3 significant unobservable inputs ($) | Total ($) |

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Investments in the Fund may be made only by investment companies, common or commingled trust funds, or similar organizations or persons that are accredited investors within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
The Fund calculates its net asset value to four decimals (e.g., $1.0000) using market-based pricing and operates with a floating net asset value. Although the Fund is a money market fund, the net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate with changes in the values of the Fund’s portfolio securities. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may be above or below $1.0000. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Fund maintained a stable net asset value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may invest in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Offsetting of assets and liabilities
The following table presents the Fund’s gross and net amount of assets and liabilities available for offset under netting arrangements as well as any related collateral received or pledged by the Fund as of January 31, 2017:
| Federal Reserve ($) | RBC Capital Markets ($) | Total ($) | | |
Assets | | | | | |
Repurchase agreements | 25,000,000 | 99,999,694 | 124,999,694 | | |
Total Financial and Derivative Net Assets | 25,000,000 | 99,999,694 | 124,999,694 | | |
Total collateral received (pledged)(a) | 25,000,000 | 99,999,694 | 124,999,694 | | |
Net Amount (b) | — | — | — | | |
(a) | In some instances, the actual collateral received and/or pledged may be more than the amount shown due to overcollateralization. |
(b) | Represents the net amount due from/(to) counterparties in the event of default. |
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income, including amortization of premium and discount, is recognized daily.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually after the fiscal year in which the capital gains were earned, unless offset by any available capital loss carryforward. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company

| 15 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, subject to the policies set by the Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Fund does not pay a management fee for the investment advisory or administrative services provided to the Fund, but it may pay taxes, brokerage commissions and nonadvisory expenses.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
The Fund has a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, under which the Fund does not pay an annual fee to the Transfer Agent.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized (depreciation) ($) |
11,585,571,000 | 969,000 | (1,038,000) | (69,000) |
16 | Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
2017 ($) | 2018 ($) | 2019 ($) | No expiration short-term ($) | No expiration long-term ($) | Total ($) |
8,785 | — | — | 60,614 | — | 69,399 |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is disclosed as Commitment fees for bank credit facility in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 6. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Money market fund risk
At times of (i) significant redemption activity by shareholders, including, for example, when a single investor or a few large investors make a significant redemption of Fund shares, (ii) insufficient levels of cash in the Fund’s portfolio to satisfy redemption activity, and (iii) disruption in the normal operation of the markets in which the Fund buys and sells portfolio securities, the Fund could be forced to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable prices in order to generate sufficient cash to pay redeeming shareholders. Sales of portfolio securities at such times could result in losses to the Fund. In addition, neither the Investment Manager nor any of its affiliates has a legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that they or any person will provide financial support to the Fund at any time. The Fund may suspend redemptions or the payment of redemption proceeds when permitted by applicable regulations.
Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 17 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
If, at any time, the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 30% of its total assets and the Board determines it is in the best interests of the Fund, the Fund may, as early as the same day and at any time during the day, impose a fee of up to 2% of the value of all shares redeemed and/or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing redemption gates) for up to 10 business days. If, at the end of any business day, the Fund’s weekly liquid assets fall below 10% of its total assets, the Fund must impose a fee, as of the beginning of the next business day, of 1% of the value of all shares redeemed, unless the Board determines that imposing such a fee is not in the best interests of the Fund or the Board determines that a lower or higher fee (not to exceed 2% of the value of all shares redeemed) would be in the best interests of the Fund. These determinations may affect the composition of the investment portfolio, performance and operating expenses of the Fund.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 100.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 7. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 8. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.

President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com or calling 800.345.6611.
* | The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Fund, if shown, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the Fund’s oldest share class. Since the Fund launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information. |

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in

Fair value measurements (continued)
pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Disciplined Growth Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price on the foreign exchange in which such securities are primarily traded. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, including, if available, utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility
Columbia Disciplined Growth Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 25 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
(including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.
The following table is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) at January 31, 2017:
| Asset derivatives | |
Risk exposure category | Statement of assets and liabilities location | Fair value ($) |
Equity risk | Net assets — unrealized appreciation on futures contracts | 84,392* |
* | Includes cumulative appreciation (depreciation) as reported in the tables following the Portfolio of Investments. Only the current day’s variation margin is reported in receivables or payables in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |

Derivative instrument | Average notional amounts ($)* |
Futures contracts — long | 11,728,825 |
* | Based on the ending quarterly outstanding amounts for the six months ended January 31, 2017. |
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income distribution. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.750% to 0.550% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.747% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.

Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.20% |
Class B | 0.20 |
Class C | 0.20 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.20 |
Class R4 | 0.19 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.20 |
Class Y | 0.00 (a) |
Class Z | 0.20 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.

Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $123,000 and $50,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 112,727 |
Class C | 823 |
Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 1.20% | 1.20% |
Class B | 1.95 | 1.95 |
Class C | 1.95 | 1.95 |
Class I | 0.81 | 0.79 |
Class K | 1.11 | 1.09 |
Class R | 1.45 | 1.45 |
Class R4 | 0.95 | 0.95 |
Class R5 | 0.86 | 0.84 |
Class W | 1.20 | 1.20 |
Class Y | 0.81 | 0.79 |
Class Z | 0.95 | 0.95 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In

addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes, but the Fund’s net operating expenses shall not exceed the contractual annual rates listed in the table above. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
394,699,000 | 112,308,000 | (6,428,000) | 105,880,000 |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $188,796,005 and $241,265,274, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 8. Significant risks
Consumer discretionary sector risk
The Fund may be more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the consumer discretionary sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the consumer discretionary sector are subject to certain risks, including fluctuations in the performance of the overall domestic and international economy, interest rate changes, increased competition and consumer confidence. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including reduced disposable household income, reduced consumer spending, changing demographics and consumer tastes.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 83.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Technology and technology-related investment risk
The Fund may be more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector, as well as other technology-related sectors (collectively, the technology sectors) than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the technology sectors are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report
January 31, 2017
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A and Class V are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. (Effective January 24, 2017, Class T shares were renamed as Class V shares.) Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Class V shares (formerly Class T shares) are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the investment amount. Class V shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a CDSC if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase. Class V shares are available only to investors who received (and who have continuously held) Class V shares in connection with previous fund reorganizations. Effective January 24, 2017, Class T shares were renamed Class V shares.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares
24 | Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price on the foreign exchange in which such securities are primarily traded. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, including, if available, utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its
26 | Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.
The following table is a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) at January 31, 2017:
| Asset derivatives | |
Risk exposure category | Statement of assets and liabilities location | Fair value ($) |

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income distribution. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.750% to 0.550% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.725% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.

January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
30 | Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.19% |
Class B | 0.19 |
Class C | 0.19 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.19 |
Class R4 | 0.19 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class V | 0.19 |
Class W | 0.19 |
Class Y | 0.00 (a) |
Class Z | 0.19 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $12,000 and $38,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Shareholder services fees
The Fund has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class V shareholders by their selling and/or servicing agents. The Fund may pay shareholder servicing fees up to an aggregate annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class V shares (comprised of up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% for administrative support services). These fees are currently limited to an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class V shares.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 1.15% | 1.19% |
Class B | 1.90 | 1.94 |

Class W | 1.15 | 1.19 |
Class Y | 0.77 | 0.81 |
Class Z | 0.90 | 0.94 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
777,553,000 | 144,152,000 | (7,511,000) | 136,641,000 |

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at January 31, 2017, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:

19,956,215 | — | — | 14,331,551 | — | 34,287,766 |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $379,578,406 and $504,308,546, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Financial sector risk
The Fund may be more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the financial services sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the financial services sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk of regulatory change, decreased liquidity in credit markets and unstable interest rates. Such companies may have concentrated portfolios, such as a high level of loans to real estate developers, which makes them vulnerable to economic conditions that affect that industry. Performance of such companies may be affected by competitive pressures and exposure to investments or agreements that, under certain circumstances, may lead to losses (e.g., subprime loans). Companies in the financial services sector are subject to extensive governmental regulation that may limit the amount and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and interest rates and fees that they may charge. In addition, profitability of such companies is largely dependent upon the availability and the cost of capital.
Columbia Disciplined Value Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 33 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 79.2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report
January 31, 2017
Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 3.00%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com or calling 800.345.6611.
* The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Fund, if shown, which are since Fund inception) include the returns of the Fund’s oldest share class. Since the Fund launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit investor.columbiathreadneedleus.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information.

Percentages indicated are based upon total fixed income investments (excluding Money Market Funds).
Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the rating of Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, whichever rating agency rates the security highest. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the higher of the two ratings is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as "Not rated." Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

(a) The Fund has market exposure (long and/or short) to fixed income and foreign currency through its investments in derivatives. The notional exposure of a financial instrument is the nominal or face amount that is used to calculate payments made on that instrument and/or changes in value for the instrument. The notional exposure is a hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed. Notional exposures provide a gauge for how the Fund may behave given changes in individual markets. For a description of the Fund’s investments in derivatives, see Investments in Derivatives following the Portfolio of Investments, and Note 2 to the financial statements.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |

Fair value measurements (continued)
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Y shares commenced operations on March 1, 2017.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Asset- and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities’ cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another and to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.
The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark and to manage exposure to movements in interest rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Options contracts
Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. Option contracts can be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. The Fund purchased and wrote option contracts to produce incremental earnings and to protect gains. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Cash collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure certain over-the-counter option contract trades. Cash collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.
Options contracts purchased are recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
For over-the-counter options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Option contracts written by the Fund do not typically give rise to significant counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. The risk in writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the strike price and the option contract is exercised. The risk in writing a put option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases below the strike price and the option contract is exercised. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing or selling a security or foreign currency when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value. In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market.
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in significant losses, and that the FCM or CCP may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.
Credit default swap contracts
The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to a specific debt security or a basket of debt securities as a protection buyer to reduce overall credit exposure and to manage credit risk exposure. Additionally, credit default swap contracts were used to hedge the Fund’s exposure on a debt security that it owns or in lieu
26 | Columbia Inflation Protected Securities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
of selling such debt security. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.
Interest rate swap contracts
The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions which may include inflation rate swap contracts to manage interest rate and market risk exposure to produce incremental earnings and to hedge the portfolio risk associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.
Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.

Asset- and mortgage-backed securities
The Fund may invest in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. All, or a portion, of the obligation may be prepaid at any time because the underlying asset may be prepaid. As a result, decreasing market interest rates could result in an increased level of prepayment. An increased prepayment rate will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates.
Treasury inflation protected securities
The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.510% to 0.290% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.509% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.

Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.18% |
Class B | 0.18 |
Class C | 0.18 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.18 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.18 |
Class Z | 0.18 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $520,000 and $164,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| Fee rates contractual through November 30, 2017 |

Class I | 0.43 |
Class K | 0.73 |
Class R | 1.05 |

Class W | 0.80 |
Class Z | 0.55 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
169,837,000 | 2,651,000 | (1,728,000) | 923,000 |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
2017 ($) | 2018 ($) | 2019 ($) | No expiration short-term ($) | No expiration long-term ($) | Total ($) |

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. The Fund elected to treat the following late-year ordinary losses and post-October capital losses at July 31, 2016 as arising on August 1, 2016.
Late year ordinary losses ($) | Post-october capital losses ($) |
642,517 | — |
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $16,495,475 and $13,590,116, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017, of which $11,454,195 and $3,693,279, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Payments by affiliates
During the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Investment Manager reimbursed the Fund $157,979 for a loss on a trading error.
Note 7. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 8. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.

Note 9. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Derivatives risk
Losses involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in the underlying security(ies), commodity, currency or index or other instrument or asset may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund. Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk.
Inflation protected securities risk
Inflation-protected debt securities tend to react to changes in real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rates minus the expected impact of inflation). In general, the price of such securities falls when real interest rates rise, and rises when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on these securities will vary and may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, the Fund may have no income at all from such investments.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 80.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 10. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 11. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

SemiAnnual Report

Columbia Global Opportunities Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Global Opportunities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge.

Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

(a) The Fund has market exposure (long and/or short) to fixed income and equity asset classes and foreign currency through its investments in derivatives. The notional exposure of a financial instrument is the nominal or face amount that is used to calculate payments made on that instrument and/or changes in value for the instrument. The notional exposure is a hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed. Notional exposures provide a gauge for how the Fund may behave given changes in individual markets. For a description of the Fund’s investments in derivatives, see Investments in Derivatives following the Portfolio of Investments, and Note 2 to the financial statements.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of significant market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements - Security Valauation.
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Fair value measurements (continued)
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. These assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The model utilized by such third party statistical pricing service takes into account a security’s correlation to available market data including, but not limited to, intraday index, ADR, and exchange-traded fund movements.
Derivative instruments are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
There were no transfers of financial assets between levels during the period.
The Fund does not hold any significant investments (greater than one percent of net assets) categorized as Level 3.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain common stocks classified as Level 3 are valued using a market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, the halt price of the security, the movement in observed market prices for other securities from the issuer, the movement in certain foreign or domestic market indices, and the estimated earnings of the respective company and market multiples derived from a set of comparable companies. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Generally, a change in estimated earnings of the respective company may result in a change to the comparable companies and market multiples utilized.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

(b) | Total net expenses include the impact of certain fee waivers/expense reimbursements made by the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates, if applicable. |
(c) | For the six months ended January 31, 2017 (unaudited). |
(d) | Annualized. |
(e) | The benefits derived from expense reductions had an impact of less than 0.01%. |
(f) | For the period from October 1, 2011 to July 31, 2012. During the period, the Fund’s fiscal year end was changed from September 30 to July 31. |
(g) | Class R4 shares commenced operations on November 8, 2012. Per share data and total return reflect activity from that date. |
(h) | Class R5 shares commenced operations on November 8, 2012. Per share data and total return reflect activity from that date. |
(i) | Class W shares commenced operations on June 25, 2014. Per share data and total return reflect activity from that date. |
(j) | Rounds to zero. |
(k) | Calculation of the net gain (loss) per share (both realized and unrealized) does not correlate to the aggregate realized and unrealized gain (loss) presented in the Statement of Operations due to the timing of the Fund’s units issued and units redeemed in relation to fluctuations in the market value of the portfolio. |

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class Y shares commenced operations on March 1, 2017.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Asset- and mortgage-backed securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities’ cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data, including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage, prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or exchange bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price on the foreign exchange in which such securities are primarily traded. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, including, if available, utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of transactions, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.

January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Foreign currency transactions and translations
The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, additional counterparty credit risk is failure of the clearinghouse or CCP. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter 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, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument’s payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter derivatives. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Fund would consider terminating the derivatives contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio or to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.
The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires.
The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts
Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates, to manage exposure to the securities market and to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options contracts
Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. Option contracts can be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. The Fund purchased and wrote option contracts to produce incremental earnings, to decrease the Fund’s exposure to equity market risk and to increase return on investments, to protect gains and to facilitate buying and selling of securities for investments. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Cash collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure certain over-the-counter option contract trades. Cash collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.
Options contracts purchased are recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
For over-the-counter options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Option contracts written by the Fund do not typically give rise to significant counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. The risk in writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the strike price and the option contract is exercised. The risk in writing a put option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases below the strike price and the option contract is exercised. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing or selling a security or foreign currency when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value. In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market.

Swap contracts
Swap contracts are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Unlike a bilateral swap contract, for centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in significant losses, and that the FCM or CCP may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.
Credit default swap contracts
The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are agreements in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on a notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract with the counterparty occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation (recovery value) as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or premiums received upon entering into the agreement. The notional amounts and market values of all credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.

As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract with the counterparty. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.
Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.
Interest rate swap contracts
The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions which may include inflation rate swap contracts to manage interest rate and market risk exposure to produce incremental earnings. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.
Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.
Effects of derivative transactions in the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

Asset- and mortgage-backed securities
The Fund may invest in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. All, or a portion, of the obligation may be prepaid at any time because the underlying asset may be prepaid. As a result, decreasing market interest rates could result in an increased level of prepayment. An increased prepayment rate will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
To be announced securities
The Fund may trade securities on a To Be Announced (TBA) basis. As with other delayed-delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms.
In some cases, Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (MSFTAs) may be used to govern transactions of certain forward-settling agency mortgage-backed securities, such as delayed-delivery and TBAs, between the Fund and counterparty. The MSFTA maintains provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral relating to such transactions.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar but not identical securities (same type, coupon and maturity) on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund will benefit because it receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax purposes, the Fund treats “to be announced” mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. These transactions may increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations.

Treasury inflation protected securities
The Fund may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.
Interest only and principal only securities
The Fund may invest in Interest Only (IO) or Principal Only (PO) securities. IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security’s interest, but none of its principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. Because no principal will be received at the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly basis until maturity. These adjustments are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations. POs are stripped securities entitled to receive the principal from the underlying obligation, but not the interest. POs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and therefore are subject to fluctuations in price. POs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. The Fund may also invest in IO or PO stripped mortgage-backed securities. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its tax exempt and taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Foreign taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income distribution. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees and underlying fund fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.000% on assets invested in Columbia proprietary funds, including exchange-traded funds, that pay an investment management fee to the Investment Manager, (ii) a fee that declines from 0.720% to 0.520%, depending on asset levels, on assets invested in securities, instruments and other assets not described above, including other funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay an management services fee, derivatives and individual securities. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.649% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown in Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.
Participating Affiliates
The Investment Manager and its investment advisory affiliates (Participating Affiliates) around the world may coordinate in providing services to their clients. From time to time the Investment Manager (or any affiliated investment subadviser to the Fund, as the case may be) may engage its Participating Affiliates to provide a variety of services such as investment
52 | Columbia Global Opportunities Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
research, investment monitoring, trading and discretionary investment management (including portfolio management) to certain accounts managed by the Investment Manager, including the Fund. These Participating Affiliates will provide services to the Investment Manager (or any affiliated investment subadviser to the Fund as the case may be) either pursuant to subadvisory agreements, personnel-sharing agreements or similar inter-company arrangements and the Fund will pay no additional fees and expenses as a result of any such arrangements.
These Participating Affiliates, like the Investment Manager, are direct or indirect subsidiaries of Ameriprise Financial and are registered with appropriate respective regulators in their home jurisdictions and, where required, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the United States.
Pursuant to some of these arrangements, certain employees of these Participating Affiliates may serve as "associated persons" of the Investment Manager and, in this capacity, subject to the oversight and supervision of the Investment Manager and consistent with the investment objectives, policies and limitations set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), may provide such services to the Fund on behalf of the Investment Manager.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.14% |
Class B | 0.14 |
Class C | 0.14 |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.14 |
Class R4 | 0.14 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.14 |
Class Z | 0.14 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $3,290,000 and $394,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended January 31, 2017, if any, are listed below:
| Amount ($) |
Class A | 125,495 |

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |
Class A | 1.53% | 1.37% |
Class B | 2.28 | 2.12 |
Class C | 2.28 | 2.12 |

Class R5 | 1.23 | 1.07 |
Class W | 1.53 | 1.37 |
Class Z | 1.28 | 1.12 |
Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized appreciation ($) |
585,259,000 | 51,240,000 | (19,066,000) | 32,174,000 |
The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.

Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $316,687,706 and $398,013,839, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017, of which $211,812,221 and $212,743,203, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Derivatives risk
Losses involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in the underlying security(ies), commodity, currency or index or other instrument or asset may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund. Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk.
Foreign securities and emerging market countries risk
Investing in foreign securities may include certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as fluctuating currency values and changing local and regional economic, political and social conditions, which may result in greater market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities. Investing in emerging markets may accentuate these risks. These countries are also more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluation which could hurt their economies and securities markets. To the extent that the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Fund concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the various conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund which is more geographically diversified.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 92.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Columbia Floating Rate Fund
Not FDIC Insured • No bank guarantee • May lose value
Dear Shareholders,
While emotions have run high following the outcome of the U.S. Presidential election, it remains unclear how the Trump presidency will unfold in terms of policy. We have a sense of the priorities espoused by the President over the past eighteen months, but campaign priorities are not always realized and are often never pursued. What seems certain is that, while some investors have already priced expectations into the market, others have retreated, preferring instead a wait and see approach. The outcome of such behaviors appears to have created conditions ripe for ongoing market volatility.
While volatility in the financial markets can be stressful, volatility itself is not a new phenomenon. Other factors that have been at the root cause of recent volatility include uncertainty following the United Kingdom’s vote to exit the European Union (Brexit), speculation around the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates, divergent central bank policy and geopolitical unrest. The point is, financial markets have fluctuated for years and may be expected to continue to fluctuate — sometimes wildly. If anything, such volatility seems to be the new normal, perhaps exacerbated by access to information and development of technological tools which have enabled investors to react rapidly to real and perceived change. So what can you do?
Position your portfolio for the reality of market volatility
That there is a historical precedent for market volatility, or even an acceptance that it may persist, offers little comfort. A measured and strategic approach remains the best strategy for investors to stay on track in achieving their investment goals.
Step 1: Review your investment goals
Take this opportunity to review your investment goals and the strategies you are pursuing to achieve those goals in order to remain focused on what’s important to you. It is entirely possible that your goals have changed in response either to your life situation or to changes in the market. Accept what you can’t control — volatility, and focus on what you can — your investment goals and strategies.
Step 2: Reassess your risk tolerance
Sit down with your financial advisor to discuss your investment goals and strategies, as well as any changes to your tolerance for risk. Consider your investment horizon. Increased market volatility and a new investment horizon may impact the strategies that can best help you achieve your investment goals. Remember, achieving your investment goals may require a certain amount of risk. Ultimately, you must maintain vigilance in reassessing your risk tolerance and the strategies you have selected in pursuit of your investment goals, and awareness of how those strategies may react to market volatility.
Step 3: Remain calm and focus on your long-term plan
Remember, investing is about the long game. Short term events are not necessarily evidence of a longer term reality. Investors who attempt to time the market too often end up reacting to a down turn by selling low and then compounding the problem by waiting on the sidelines, ultimately missing the right opportunity to reinvest.
Columbia Floating Rate Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
President’s Message (continued)
As long as there is a market, there will be volatility. How you respond to that volatility can make a big difference in the measure of your success as an investor. Talk to your financial advisor about how working with Columbia Threadneedle Investments may help you position your portfolio for the reality of ongoing volatility and, perhaps, even turn such volatility into investment opportunity.
Sincerely,
Christopher O. Petersen
President, Columbia Funds

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 3.00%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. The Fund does not accept new investments in Class B shares, except for certain limited transactions. The Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. Prior to March 27, 2017, Class W shares were sold without a sales charge and, therefore, the returns shown for Class W shares do not reflect any sales charge. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction. The Fund’s other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown.

Since the Fund launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable.

Bond ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the rating assigned by Moody’s, as available. If Moody’s doesn’t rate a bond, then the S&P rating is used. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g., interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral. Additionally, the Investment Manager considers the interest rate to be paid on the investment, the portfolio’s exposure to a particular sector, and the relative value of the loan within the sector, among other factors.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s expenses
To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the “Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
• | Level 2 – Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
• | Level 3 – Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of significant market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements – Security Valuation.

Fair value measurements (continued)
Certain investments that have been measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund seeks to provide shareholders with maximum current income consistent with liquidity and stability of principal. Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund prices its shares with a floating NAV and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.
For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.
The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at January 31, 2017:

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. These assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The model utilized by such third party statistical pricing service takes into account a security’s correlation to available market data including, but not limited to, intraday index, ADR, and exchange-traded fund movements.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 as the market for these assets was deemed to be active during the period and fair values were consequently obtained using quoted prices for identical assets rather than being based upon other observable market inputs as of period end.

Fair value measurements (continued)
Financial Assets were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 due to utilizing a single market quotation from a broker dealer. As a result, management concluded that the market input(s) were generally unobservable.
Financial assets were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 as observable market inputs were utilized and management determined that there was sufficient, reliable and observable market data to value these assets as of period end.
Transfers between Levels are determined based on the fair value at the beginning of the period for security positions held throughout the period.

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at January 31, 2017 was $1,235,635, which is comprised of Common Stocks of $(562,620), Corporate Bonds & Notes of $3,528 and Senior Loans of $1,794,727.
The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain senior loans, corporate bonds and common stocks classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach and utilize single market quotations from broker dealers which may have included, but were not limited to, observable transactions for identical or similar assets in the market and the distressed nature of the security. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, manual price reviews and other control procedures. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Floating Rate Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. The Fund offers each of the share classes identified below.
Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months after purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.
The Fund no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Fund’s Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Fund and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds. Class B shares generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class B shares are typically subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. However, the Fund’s current Class B investors, having held their shares for the requisite time period, are no longer subject to a CDSC upon redemption of their shares.
Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within 12 months after purchase.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class I shares of the Fund are no longer offered for sale. Class I shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and were made available only to the Columbia Family of Funds. On or about March 27, 2017, Class I shares were exchanged for Class Y shares of the Fund in a tax free transaction that had no impact on the fees and expenses paid by shareholders.
Class K shares are not subject to sales charges, however this share class is closed to new investors.
Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.
Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares are no longer offered for sale. Class W shares, when available, were not subject to sales charges and were generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs. Effective March 27, 2017, Class W shares were renamed and re-designated as Class T shares. Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 2.50% per transaction and must be purchased through financial intermediaries that, by written agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc., are specifically authorized to sell Class T shares.
Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges or distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and are available to institutional and certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.
Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized cost value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate market value.
Senior loan securities for which reliable market quotations are readily available are generally valued by pricing services at the average of the bids received.
Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price on the foreign exchange in which such securities are primarily traded. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees, including, if available, utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their latest net asset value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security.
The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.
Columbia Floating Rate Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 37 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
GAAP requires disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Investments in senior loans
The Fund may invest in senior loan assignments. When the Fund purchases an assignment of a senior loan, the Fund typically has direct rights against the borrower; provided, however, that the Fund’s rights may be more limited than the lender from which it acquired the assignment and the Fund may be able to enforce its rights only through an administrative agent. Although certain senior loan assignments are secured by collateral, the Fund could experience delays or limitations in realizing such collateral or have its interest subordinated to other indebtedness of the obligor. In the event that the administrator or collateral agent of a loan becomes insolvent, enters into receivership or bankruptcy, the Fund may incur costs and delays in realizing payment or may suffer a loss of principal and/or interest. The risk of loss is greater for unsecured or subordinated loans. In addition, senior loan assignments are vulnerable to market, economic or other conditions or events that may reduce the demand for senior loan assignments and certain senior loan assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
The Fund may enter into senior loan assignments where all or a portion of the loan may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are generally traded and priced in the same manner as other senior loan securities and are disclosed as unfunded senior loan commitments in the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments with a corresponding payable for investments purchased. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities to cover these commitments.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Trade date for senior loans purchased in the primary market is the date on which the loan is allocated. Trade date for senior loans purchased in the secondary market is the date on which the transaction is entered into.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.
Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds, other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With
38 | Columbia Floating Rate Fund | Semiannual Report 2017 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by the Fund’s management. Management’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.
The value of additional securities received as an income payment is recorded as income and increases the cost basis of such securities.
The Fund may receive other income from senior loans, including amendment fees, consent fees and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received by the Fund. These amounts are included in Interest Income in the Statement of Operations.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset value
All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Investment company reporting modernization
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and forms, and amendments to certain current rules and forms, to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The amendments to Regulation S-X will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, and will also change the rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X take effect on August 1, 2017. At this time, management is assessing the anticipated impact of these regulatory developments.
Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.660% to 0.400% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended January 31, 2017 was 0.641% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other expenses
Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Fund or the Board of Trustees, including payments to Board Services Corp., a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board of Trustees. That company’s expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees, who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial, are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. All amounts payable under the Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund.
Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees, based on relative net assets. The total amount allocated to all affiliated funds governed by the Board of Trustees will not exceed $40,000 annually.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and BFDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Transfer Agent also received sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., for which the Transfer Agent receives a per

account fee). Effective October 1, 2016, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the servicing agent or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Effective January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.075% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Total transfer agency fees for Class I and Class Y shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.025% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Prior to January 1, 2017, total transfer agency fees for Class K and Class R5 shares were subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Class I and Class Y shares did not pay transfer agency fees.
For the six months ended January 31, 2017, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
Class A | 0.11% |
Class B | 0.11 |
Class C | 0.11 |
Class I | 0.00 (a) |
Class K | 0.05 |
Class R | 0.11 |
Class R4 | 0.11 |
Class R5 | 0.05 |
Class W | 0.11 |
Class Y | 0.01 |
Class Z | 0.11 |
An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended January 31, 2017, no minimum account balance fees were charged by the Fund.
Plan administration fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution, the Fund pays a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services) and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution and shareholder services expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $1,144,000 and $741,000 for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of December 31, 2016, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution and/or shareholder services fee is reduced.

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the periods disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class’ average daily net assets:
| December 1, 2016 through November 30, 2017 | Prior to December 1, 2016 |

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend and interest expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax information
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At January 31, 2017, the approximate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal tax cost ($) | Gross unrealized appreciation ($) | Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($) | Net unrealized (depreciation) ($) |
1,176,012,000 | 22,650,000 | (29,044,000) | (6,394,000) |

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined at July 31, 2016, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.
2017 ($) | 2018 ($) | 2019 ($) | No expiration short-term ($) | No expiration long-term ($) | Total ($) |

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio information
The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $561,611,204 and $316,685,480, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2017. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. Effective October 1, 2016, the Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value (NAV) and no longer seeks to maintain a stable NAV. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank, N.A., HSBC Bank USA, N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $1 billion. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund had no borrowings during the six months ended January 31, 2017.
Note 8. Significant risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer may default and fail to pay interest or repay principal when due. Rating agencies assign credit ratings to debt securities to indicate their credit risk. Lower rated or unrated debt securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt securities.
Columbia Floating Rate Fund | Semiannual Report 2017
| 43 |
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
January 31, 2017 (Unaudited)
Floating rate loan risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Decreases in the number of financial institutions willing to make markets in the Fund’s investments or in their capacity or willingness to trade such investments may increase the Fund’s exposure to this risk. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may also adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Floating rate loans generally are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale, may trade infrequently, and their value may be impaired when the Fund needs to liquidate such loans. Loans or other assets may trade only in the over-the-counter market rather than on an organized exchange and may be more difficult to purchase or sell at a fair price, which may have a negative impact on the Fund’s performance. Price volatility may be higher for illiquid investments as a result of, for example, the relatively less frequent pricing of such securities (as compared to liquid investments). Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. Price volatility, liquidity of the market and other factors can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and NAV, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
High-yield investments risk
Securities and other debt instruments held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds) and unrated debt instruments of comparable quality expose the Fund to a greater risk of loss of principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade securities. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience a default than higher-rated debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases in interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Shareholder concentration risk
At January 31, 2017, affiliated shareholders of record owned 52.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid or more liquid positions, resulting in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid or illiquid securities. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Note 9. Subsequent events
Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than as noted in Note 1 above, there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Columbia Floating Rate Fund (the “Fund”) is one of several defendants to an adversary bankruptcy proceeding captioned Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA, Inc., et al. v. Citicorp North America, Inc., et al. (the “Lawsuit”), (In re TOUSA, Inc., et al.), pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Florida (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Fund and several other defendants (together the “Senior Transeastern Defendants”) were lenders to parties involved in a joint venture with TOUSA, Inc. (“TOUSA”) on a $450 million Credit Agreement dated as of August 1, 2005 (the “Credit Agreement”). In 2006, the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement brought claims against TOUSA alleging that certain events of default had occurred under the Credit Agreement thus triggering the guaranties (the “Transeastern Litigation”). On July 31, 2007, TOUSA and the Senior Transeastern Defendants reached a settlement in the Transeastern Litigation pursuant to which the Fund (as well as the other Senior Transeastern Defendants) released its claims and was paid $1,052,271. To fund the settlement, TOUSA entered into a $500 million credit facility with new lenders secured by liens on the assets of certain of TOUSA’s subsidiaries. On January 29, 2008, TOUSA and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. In August 2008, the Committee of Unsecured Creditors of TOUSA (“Committee”) filed the Lawsuit, seeking as to the Fund and the other Senior Transeastern Defendants a return of the money the Senior Transeastern Defendants received as part of the Transeastern Litigation settlement. The Lawsuit went to trial in July 2009, and the Bankruptcy Court ordered the Fund and the other Senior Transeastern Defendants to disgorge the money they received in settlement of the Transeastern Litigation. The Senior Transeastern Defendants, including the Fund, appealed the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to the District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “District Court”). To stay execution of the judgment against the Fund pending appeal, the Fund deposited $1,327,620 with the Bankruptcy Court clerk of court. On February 11, 2011, the District Court entered an opinion and order quashing the Bankruptcy Court’s decision as it relates to the liability of the Senior Transeastern Defendants and ordering that “[t]he Bankruptcy Court’s imposition of remedies as to the [Senior Transeastern Defendants] is null and void.” On March 8, 2011, the Committee appealed the District Court’s order to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On May 15, 2012, the Eleventh Circuit reversed the decision of the District Court. A petition for rehearing by the entire panel of the Eleventh Circuit was filed and denied. Several appeal issues related to remedies remain to be decided by the District Court. Those issues have been briefed and we await a ruling by the District Court.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.
