Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Introduction
Morningstar Investment Management, LLC launched anopen-end management investment company consisting of nine separate portfolios (each a fund) that span the investment opportunity set. Most of these Funds were designed to provide exposure to a broad asset class, such as U.S. equities, while our active management of each Fund’s asset allocation and active managers (known as “subadvisers”) will adjust exposures to subasset classes (such assmall-cap value) based on our valuation views and those of the subadvisers.
Concept and Structure
We created the Morningstar Funds Trust using an open architecture, multimanager approach, hiring as active subadvisers both institutional managers and other managers whose mutual funds were previously used in Morningstar® Managed PortfoliosSM. Our analysts and portfolio managers continually use research, data, and analysis from Morningstar, Inc. and its affiliates to study the subadvisers and their investments closely and determine which fit best with our investment philosophy and the investment objectives of each Morningstar Fund1. We have selected managers we believed were independent, skilled investors in their respective asset classes.
Consistent with our investment approach, our asset allocation process for the Morningstar Funds is based on fundamentals and driven by valuations. We look for asset classes andsub-asset classes around the globe that, in our view, offer fundamental value relative to price. Allocations within each Fund are in line with what we believe to reflect the best risk-adjusted opportunities.

Statement of Shareholder Rights
It is important to note that as a shareholder, you have certain rights and protections, chief among them an independent board of trustees, whose main role is to represent your interests.
The Trustees are responsible for the overall management of the Trust, including general supervision and review of the investment activities of each Fund. The Trustees, in turn, elect the officers of the Trust, who are responsible for administering theday-to-day operations of the Trust and its separate series, including the Funds.
The “Independent Trustees” are Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (e.g. not a Morningstar employee).
More information about the Trustees is available at
https://www.morningstar.com/company/morningstar-funds-governance.
The Board of Trustees for the Morningstar Funds Trust is committed to representing your interests as well as implementing and maintaining sound fund governance principles.

Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
We are delighted to provide the semi-annual report for the Morningstar Funds Trust. This report features data for the six months ended October 31, 2019.
We offer the Morningstar Funds for use within our Morningstar® Managed PortfoliosSM lineup. We designed the funds to reduce the overall costs of our portfolios and to allow our investment team greater control of asset allocation. Both these benefits show our commitment to putting investors first and empowering investor success.
The nine Morningstar Funds power a suite of multiasset managed portfolios, from a traditional target-risk series to our outcome-based portfolios like the U.S. Real Return series or our Absolute Return portfolio. Our outcome-based series is designed to fit with financial advisors who help their clients develop a goals-based financial plan. To learn more about the managed portfolios program, visit mp.morningstar.com.
As an investment management subsidiary of Morningstar, Inc., a leader in fund manager research for more than 35 years, we knew we needed to live up to the high standards that Morningstar and its subsidiaries have set for ourselves. We aim to do that in every way we handle the funds, from the selection of our board of directors to the transparency we provide by reportingsub-accounting fees in our prospectuses and in my letters accompanying our annual reports. We hope you’ll agree that the Morningstar Funds Trust offers mutual funds the Morningstar way.
Thank you for your trust in these funds. We look forward to staying focused on helping investors reach their financial goals.
Sincerely,
![LOGO](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0001193125-20-000474/g814418dsp05.jpg)

(b) Effective duration is measure of a Fund’s interest-rate sensitivity—the longer a Fund’s duration, the more sensitive the Fund is to shifts in interest rates. Duration is determined by a formula that includes coupon rates and bond maturities. Small coupons tend to increase duration, while shorter maturities and higher coupons shorten duration.
(c)Non-USD currency exposure for the Fund reflects the value of the portfolio’snon-U.S. dollar denominated investments, as well as the impact of currency derivatives.
(d) Credit quality ratings are based on the conservative average of Moody’s, S&P Global and Fitch ratings. If ratings from all three rating agencies disagree, the model assigns the middle rating to the security. If two of the three agree, the model assigns the rating from those two to the security. If none of these three rating agencies has assigned a rating, the Fund will assign a rating of not rated. The ratings, expressed in S&P Global’s nomenclature, range from AAA (extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitment) to D (in default). Short-term ratings, expressed in S&P Global’s nomenclature, range from A1 to D (in default). The ratings represent the rating agencies’ opinions of the quality of the securities they rate. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality.
(e) Excludes the Fund’s derivative contracts.

Fund Information(continued)
Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund
Investment Objective
Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund seeks to maximize total return while also generating income and preserving capital.
Investment Strategies
In seeking to maximize total return while also generating income and preserving capital, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities (commonly referred to as “bonds”) of varying maturity, duration, and quality.
The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities. These may include U.S. andnon-U.S. investment-grade corporate debt securities, U.S. government debt securities including Treasury Inflation Protected Bond Securities andzero-coupon securities,non-U.S. government debt securities, emerging-market debt securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds), or if unrated, are determined by the Fund’s subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality.
In addition, the Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), of which 10% (as a percentage of the Fund’s assets) may be in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). CDOs are types of asset-backed securities. CLOs are ordinarily issued by a trust or other special purpose entity and are typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic andnon-U.S. senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans, held by such issuer.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may also invest in securities acquired in a private placement, such as Rule 144A securities, as well as derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign currency contracts, for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. The Fund may also enter into reverse repurchase agreements and dollar rolls. The Fund employs a multimanager, subadvised structure. The Fund may also invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which use a passive management strategy.

(a) Net expense ratio reflects fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to an agreement that is in effect to cap the expenses whereas the gross expense ratio does not. The Adviser has agreed, through at least August 31, 2020, to waive all or a portion of its advisory fees and, if necessary, to assume certain other expenses (to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, trading costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, short sale dividend and interest expenses, litigation expenses, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.59%.
(b) Effective duration is measure of a Fund’s interest-rate sensitivity—the longer a Fund’s duration, the more sensitive the Fund is to shifts in interest rates. Duration is determined by a formula that includes coupon rates and bond maturities. Small coupons tend to increase duration, while shorter maturities and higher coupons shorten duration.
(c) Credit quality ratings are based on the conservative average of Moody’s, S&P Global and Fitch ratings. If ratings from all three rating agencies disagree, the model assigns the middle rating to the security. If two of the three agree, the model assigns the rating from those two to the security. If none of these three rating agencies has assigned a rating, the Fund will assign a rating of not rated. The ratings, expressed in S&P Global’s nomenclature, range from AAA (extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitment) to D (in default). Short-term ratings, expressed in S&P Global’s nomenclature, range from A1 to D (in default). The ratings represent the rating agencies’ opinions of the quality of the securities they rate. Ratings are relative and subjective and are not absolute standards of quality.

Fund Information(continued)
Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund
Investment Objective
Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund seeks to generate income exempt from federal income taxes as well as capital preservation.
Investment Strategies
In seeking income exempt from federal income taxes as well as capital preservation, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in debt securities (commonly referred to as “bonds”) from municipal issuers within the United States or its territories.
The Fund’s dividends are generally exempt from federal income tax, although a portion may be an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alternative minimum tax (“Tax Preference Item”). A portion of the dividends may also be exempt from state and local income taxes, depending on where you live. Under normal market conditions, the Fund is not considered an optimal investment fortax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as 401(k) plan accounts or individual retirement accounts, or for investors in low tax brackets, because such investors may not take advantage of the tax benefits of the Fund.
The Fund intends to invest primarily in investment-grade municipal securities, but may invest up to 35% of assets in high-yield fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds) or, if unrated, are determined by the Fund’s subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality. The Fund may also invest in derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and inverse floating-rate debt instruments (inverse floaters), for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. The Fund employs a multimanager, subadvised structure. The Fund may also invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which use a passive management strategy.

Fund Information(continued)
Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund
Investment Objective
Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund seeks capital preservation.
Investment Strategies
In seeking capital preservation, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of debt securities (commonly referred to as “bonds”) of varying maturity, duration, and quality. Under normal conditions, the Fund intends to pursue a defensive strategy of limiting its interest-rate sensitivity by maintaining a portfolio duration of three years or less.
The Fund invests primarily in short and intermediate-term investment-grade fixed-income securities. These may include U.S. andnon-U.S. investment-grade corporate debt securities, U.S. andnon-U.S. government debt securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. In most market environments, the Fund will not invest more than 20% of assets in fixed-income securities that are rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds), or if unrated, are determined by the Fund’s subadviser(s) to be of comparable quality.
In addition, the Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), including collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). CDOs are types of asset-backed securities. CLOs are ordinarily issued by a trust or other special purpose entity and are typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic andnon-U.S. senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans, held by such issuer.
This Fund may also invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs), which could represent a significant percentage of assets. The Fund employs a multimanager, subadvised structure. The Fund may also invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which use a passive management strategy.

Morningstar Alternatives Fund
Investment Objective
Morningstar Alternatives Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation and low sensitivity to traditional U.S. asset classes.
Investment Strategies
In seeking long-term capital appreciation and low sensitivity to traditional U.S. asset classes, the Fund allocates assets to strategies that provide alternative sources of return. In particular, the Fund has the latitude to invest in the following alternative strategies:
Long-Short Equity—Combines long equity positions with short equity positions (selling borrowed securities). Since the strategy is both long and short, total net exposure is typically less than 100%.
Convertible Arbitrage—Includes the purchase of convertible securities and the sale of the underlying common stock. These securities tend to be convertible bonds or convertible preferred stocks that may be converted into the stock of the same company.
Merger Arbitrage—Seeks to profit from the successful completion of corporate organizations. The process typically involves purchasing shares of an announced acquisition target company at a discount to their expected value upon completion of the acquisition. Hedging strategies may be used to reduce market exposure and volatility.
Credit Arbitrage—Seeks to exploit the mispricing of different classes of securities that are usually of the same company, and may include investments in investment-grade and/ornon-investment-grade corporate debt (otherwise known as junk bonds), credit derivatives, loans, equities, credit index securities, and private debt.
Global Macro—Establishes long (number of contracts bought exceeds number sold) with a short (number of contracts sold exceeds number bought) exposures around the globe to take advantage of what the subadviser believe to be attractive opportunities. This strategy may include investments in fixed-income and equity securities and a wide variety of derivative instruments. Such investments will likely have significant exposure to foreign investments and may be concentrated in a geographic region or country.
Hedged Equity—Seeks to limit investment loss by creating a transaction that offsets an existing position in a contract that provides the right to buy or sell shares of a security at a specific price for a certain time. Specifically, this strategy attempts to reduce the systematic risk created by factors such as exposures to sectors,market-cap ranges, investment styles, currencies, and/or countries; the strategy strives to achieve this by matching short positions within each area against long positions. This strategy may be managed as beta neutral, dollar-neutral, or sector-neutral in order to achieve low beta exposures to certain market indexes.

Morningstar Alternatives Fund
Market Neutral—Attemptsto significantly reduce the systematic risk created by factors such as exposures to sectors,market-cap ranges, investment styles, currencies, and/or countries. This strategy seeks to achieve this by matching short positions within each area against long positions, and the strategy may be managed as beta-neutral, dollar-neutral, or sector-neutral. In attempting to significantly reduce systematic risk, issue selection may be emphasized, with profits dependent on the ability to sell short and buy long the chosen securities.
Nontraditional Bond—Pursuesstrategies that diverge in one or more ways from conventional practice in the broader bond-fund universe. In pursuing this strategy, the Fund may seek to avoid losses and produce returns uncorrelated with the overall bond market and may employ a variety of methods to achieve those aims, including investing tactically across a wide swath of individual sectors, including high-yield and foreign debt.
The Fund may invest in derivatives, including options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign currency contracts, for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. The Fund employs a multimanager, subadvised structure. The Fund may also invest a portion of the Fund’s assets in shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which use a passive management strategy.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Morningstar Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on March 1, 2017. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as anopen-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust has authorized capital of unlimited shares of beneficial interest at no par value, which may be issued in one or more series of the Trust.
The Trust is currently authorized to offer shares in nine separate series (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):
| | |
Morningstar U.S. Equity Fund | | Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund |
Morningstar International Equity Fund | | Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund |
Morningstar Global Income Fund | | Morningstar Unconstrained Allocation Fund |
Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund | | Morningstar Alternatives Fund |
Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund | | |
Each Fund represents a distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and is treated as a separate legal entity. Each Fund, except for the Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund, is classified and operates as a diversified fund under the 1940 Act. The Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund is classified as nondiversified. Morningstar Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser of each Fund.
The investment objective of each Fund is as follows:
| | |
Fund | | Investment Objective |
| |
Morningstar U.S. Equity Fund | | Long-term capital appreciation |
Morningstar International Equity Fund | | Long-term capital appreciation |
Morningstar Global Income Fund | | Current income and long-term capital appreciation |
Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund | | Total return maximization, income and capital preservation |
Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund | | Federaltax-exempt income and capital preservation |
Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund | | Capital preservation |
Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund | | Total return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation |
Morningstar Unconstrained Allocation Fund | | Long-term capital appreciation over a full market cycle |
Morningstar Alternatives Fund | | Long-term capital appreciation and low sensitivity to traditional U.S. asset classes |
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946,Financial Services-Investment Companies.
174
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Use of Estimates:The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.
Valuation of Investments:All securities and other investments are valued at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 4.
Cash:Cash comprises U.S. Dollar and foreign currency deposits held at a bank(s) or custodian bank(s) which may exceed insured limits.
Due to/from Brokers:Due to/from brokers represents cash balances and securities on deposit with, or cash balances owed to, the Funds’ prime brokers and counterparties. The Funds are subject to credit risk should the prime brokers and counterparties be unable to meet their obligations to the Funds.
Foreign Currency Translation:The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The Funds’ assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate at the valuation date. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The Funds’ income earned and expense incurred in foreign denominated currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of such activity.
The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the foreign exchange rates on investments and derivatives from the fluctuations that result from changes in the market prices of investments and derivatives held or sold during the period. Accordingly, such foreign currency gains (losses) are included in the reported net realized gain (loss) from transactions in investment securities and derivatives and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investment securities and derivatives on the Statements of Operations.
Realized gains (losses) from settlement of foreign currency and foreign currency transactions reported on the Statements of Operations arise from the disposition of foreign currency and a change between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books on the transaction date and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Changes in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency and foreign currency translations reported on the Statements of Operations arise from changes (due to the changes in the exchange rate) in the value of foreign currency and assets and liabilities (other than investments) denominated in foreign currencies, which are held at period end.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Investment transactions are accounted as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are recorded on a specifically identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis and includes the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums using the effective yield method. Dividend income (expense) net of foreign taxes withheld, if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund first learns of the ex-date dividend notification.
175
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Expenses:Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to that Fund. Expenses incurred which do not specifically relate to an individual Fund generally are allocated among all Funds in the Trust in proportion to each Fund’s relative net assets.
Federal Income Taxes:Each Fund’s policy is to comply with all sections of Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), necessary to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and capital gains to shareholders as required thereunder. No provision for federal income or excise taxes is thus required. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.
The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries on securities sold or held in certain foreign jurisdictions. Such taxes are generally based on income and/or capital gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned. Gains realized by the Funds on the sale of securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The Funds record a liability based on unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable upon the sale of these securities. For the six months ended October 31, 2019, the U.S. Equity Fund and International Equity Fund accrued non-U.S. taxes on unrealized gains of $8,034 and $76,858, respectively.
Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions for the open period, including all positions expected to be taken upon filing the 2019 tax return, in all material jurisdictions where each Fund operates, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Each Fund will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
Distributions to Shareholders:Distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as follows:
| | |
Fund | | Frequency |
| |
Morningstar U.S. Equity Fund | | Annually |
Morningstar International Equity Fund | | Annually |
Morningstar Global Income Fund | | Monthly |
Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund | | Monthly |
Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund | | Monthly |
Morningstar Defensive Bond Fund | | Monthly |
Morningstar Multisector Bond Fund | | Monthly |
Morningstar Unconstrained Allocation Fund | | Annually |
Morningstar Alternatives Fund | | Annually |
Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions will be determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense, gain, or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes. These differences will reverse at some time in the future. Differences in classification may also result
176
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
from the treatment of short-term gains as ordinary income for tax purposes. As a result, income dividends and capital gain distributions declared during a fiscal period may differ significantly from the net investment income (loss) and realized gain (loss) reported on the Funds’ financial statements presented under U.S. GAAP.
Organization and Offering Costs:Organization costs consist of costs incurred to establish the Trust and enable it legally to do business and primarily include legal fees. Offering costs include legal fees regarding the preparation of the initial registration statement. The organization expenses and offering costs incurred to date were paid by the Adviser on behalf of the Funds. The Adviser does not intend to seek reimbursement for these expenses.
Indemnifications:Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties.
3. Investment Types
The Funds may utilize the following types of investments described below to execute their investment strategy to the extent permitted by the Fund’s investment policies.
Borrowed Bond Agreements:Repurchase agreements may be referred to as borrowed bond agreements when entered into in connection with short sales of bonds. In a borrowed bond agreement, the Fund borrows a bond from a counterparty in exchange for cash collateral. The agreement contains a commitment that the security and the cash will be returned to the counterparty and the Fund at a mutually agreed upon date. Certain agreements have no stated maturity and can be terminated by either party at any time. Earnings on cash collateral and compensation to the lender of the bond are based on agreed upon rates between the Fund and the counterparty. The value of the underlying cash collateral approximates the market value and accrued interest of the borrowed bond. To the extent that a borrowed bond transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the cash collateral in the possession of the counterparty is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. As the market value of the borrowed bond changes, the cash collateral is periodically increased or decreased with a frequency and in amounts prescribed in the borrowed bond agreement. The Fund may also experience delays in gaining access to the collateral.
Collateralized Bond Obligations (CBOs), CLOs, and Other CDOs:A CBO is a trust which is often backed by a pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed-income securities, such as high-yield bonds, privately issued mortgage-related securities, commercial mortgage-related securities, trust preferred securities, or emerging-market debt. A CLO is a trust typically backed by a pool of loans, which may include senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be below investment grade. Other CDOs are trusts backed by other types of assets. The assets backing a CBO, CLO, or CDO trust may be referred to as “the collateral.” CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs may charge management fees and administrative expenses. The cash flows from the trust are split into two or more portions, called tranches, varying in risk and yield. Senior tranches can often be rated investment grade. CBO, CLO or other CDO tranches can experience substantial losses due to defaults, deterioration of protecting tranches, market participants’ perception of credit risk, as well as aversion to these securities generally. The risks of an investment in a CBO, CLO or other CDO often depend on the collateral securities and the particular tranche in which the Fund invests. These securities are often privately offered and not registered under securities laws. In addition to the normal risks
177
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
associated with fixed-income securities (e.g., interest-rate risk and credit risk), CBOs, CLOs and other CDOs carry additional risks including the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, the possibility that the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, the risk that a Fund may invest in CBOs, CLOs or other CDOs that are subordinate to other tranches, as well as risks related to the complexity of the security and its structure.
Convertible Securities:Convertible securities are securities (such as debt securities or preferred stock) that may be converted into or exchanged for a specified amount of common stock of the same or different issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or formula. Convertible securities also include corporate bonds, notes, and preferred stock. A convertible security entitles the holder to receive interest paid or accrued on debt or dividends paid on preferred stock until the convertible stock matures or is redeemed, converted or exchanged. While no investment is without some risk, investments in convertible securities generally entail less risk than an issuer’s common stock. However, any reduction in risk depends in large measure upon the degree to which the convertible security sells above its value as a fixed income security. In addition to the general risks associated with equity securities discussed above, the market value of convertible securities is also affected by prevailing interest rates, the credit quality of the issuer, and any call provisions. While convertible securities generally offer lower interest or dividend yields than nonconvertible debt securities of similar quality, they do enable the investor to benefit from increases in the market price of the underlying common stock. The premiums attributable to the conversion feature are not amortized, but they are capitalized into the cost basis.
Equity-Linked Investments:Equity-linked investments are subject to the same risks as direct investments in securities of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment decreases in value, the value of the equity-linked investment will decrease; however, the performance of such investments may not correlate exactly to the performance of the underlying investment that they seek to replicate. Equity-linked investments are also subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the issuer of such investment — which is different from the issuer of the underlying investment — may be unwilling or unable to fulfill its obligations. There is no guarantee that a liquid market will exist or that the counterparty or issuer of such investments will be willing to repurchase them when a Fund wishes to sell them.
Forward Commitments and Dollar Rolls:A Fund may enter into contracts to purchase mortgage securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time (forward commitments) if the Fund sets aside on its books liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price, or if the Fund enters into offsetting contracts for the forward sale of other securities it owns. In the case of to-be-announced (TBA) mortgage purchase commitments, the unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when a Fund enters into a contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. TBA mortgages shall not exceed 20% of a Fund’s net assets. For these obligations, a Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets in an amount sufficient to cover its obligations. Forward commitments may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines before the settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Where such purchases are made through dealers, a Fund relies on the dealer to consummate the sale. The dealer’s failure to do so may result in the loss to a Fund of an advantageous yield or price. Although a Fund will generally enter
178
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
into forward commitments with the intention of acquiring securities for its portfolio, the Fund may dispose of a commitment before settlement if a subadviser deems it appropriate to do so. A Fund may realize short-term profits or losses upon the sale of forward commitments.
A Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If a Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
A Fund may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions (generally using TBAs) in which it sells a fixed-income security for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase similar securities (for example, same type, coupon and maturity) at an agreed upon future time. By engaging in a dollar roll transaction, a Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the security that is sold but receives the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase. A Fund would also be able to earn interest on the proceeds of the sale before they are reinvested. A Fund accounts for dollar rolls as purchases and sales. Dollar rolls may be used to create investment leverage and may increase a Fund’s risk and volatility.
The obligation to purchase securities on a specified future date involves the risk that the market value of the securities that a Fund is obligated to purchase may decline below the purchase price. In addition, in the event the other party to the transaction files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligation, a Fund may be adversely affected.
Inflation-Protected Securities:A Fund may invest in U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (U.S. TIPS), which are fixed-income securities issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury, the principal amounts of which are adjusted daily based upon changes in the rate of inflation. A Fund may also invest in other inflation-protected securities issued by non-U.S. governments or by private issuers. U.S. TIPS pay interest on a semi-annual basis, equal to a fixed percentage of the inflation-adjusted principal amount. The interest rate on these bonds is fixed at issuance, but over the life of the bond this interest may be paid on an increasing or decreasing principal value that has been adjusted for inflation.
In general, the value of inflation-protected bonds is expected to fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates, which are in turn tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. Therefore, if inflation were to rise at a faster rate than nominal interest rates, real interest rates might decline, leading to an increase in value of inflation-protected bonds. In contrast, if nominal interest rates increased at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates might rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-protected bonds. If inflation is lower than expected during the period a Fund holds the security, the Fund may earn less on the security than on a conventional bond. Any increase in principal value is taxable in the year the increase occurs, even though holders do not receive cash representing the increase at that time. As a result, if a Fund invests in inflation-protected securities, it could be required at times to liquidate other investments, including when it is not advantageous to do so, to satisfy its distribution requirements as a RIC and to eliminate any fund-level income tax liability under the Code.

Loan Participations, Assignments and Unfunded Commitments:Certain Funds invest in loan participations and assignments. When a Fund purchases a loan participation, the Fund enters into a contractual relationship with the lender or a third party selling such participations (“Selling Participant”), but not the borrower. In this case, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the borrower and the Selling Participant and any other persons inter-positioned between the Fund and the borrower (“Intermediate Participants”). In contrast, when one of the Funds purchases an assignment, the contractual relationship is with the borrower and the credit risk assumed by the Fund is only with the borrower. Although certain loan participations or 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.
The Funds may also enter into unfunded commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. These unfunded commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the commitment may not be utilized by the borrower. These types of investments may include standby financing commitments, such as revolving credit facilities, which obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. The value of the unfunded portion of the investment is determined using a pro-rata allocation, based on its par value relative to the par value of the entire investment. The unfunded commitments are marked to market daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) from unfunded commitments is reported in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as well as the Statements of Operations. When investing in a loan participation, the Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. The Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a loan. In certain circumstances, the Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a loan by a borrower. Fees earned or paid are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. In addition, loan participations and assignments are vulnerable to market conditions such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for loan participations and assignments and certain loan participations and assignments which were liquid, when purchased, may become illiquid.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls:A Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls with a bank or a broker-dealer. A mortgage dollar roll is a transaction in which a Fund sells mortgage-related securities for immediate settlement and simultaneously purchases the same type of securities for forward settlement at a discount. While a Fund begins accruing interest on the newly purchased securities from the purchase or trade date, it is able to invest the proceeds from the sale of its previously owned securities, which will be used to pay for the new securities. The use of mortgage dollar rolls is a speculative technique involving leverage and can have an economic effect similar to borrowing money for investment purposes.
Private Placement and Restricted Securities:A Fund may invest in securities that are purchased in private placements and, accordingly, are subject to restrictions on resale as a matter of contract or under federal securities laws. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such investments, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, a Fund could find it more difficult to sell such securities when a subadviser believes it advisable to do so or may be able to sell such securities only at prices lower than if such securities were more widely held. At times, it may also be more difficult to determine the fair value of such securities for purposes of computing a Fund’s net asset value.
180
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
While such private placements may offer attractive opportunities for investment not otherwise available on the open market, the securities so purchased are often restricted securities, i.e., securities which cannot be sold to the public without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption from registration (such as Rules 144 or 144A), or which are not readily marketable because they are subject to other legal or contractual delays in or restrictions on resale.
The absence of a trading market can make it difficult to ascertain a market value for illiquid investments. Disposing of illiquid investments may involve time-consuming negotiation and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for a Fund to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. A Fund may have to bear the extra expense of registering such securities for resale and the risk of substantial delay in effecting such registration. In addition, market quotations are less readily available. The judgment of a subadviser may at times play a greater role in valuing these securities than in the case of publicly traded securities.
Generally speaking, restricted securities may be sold only to qualified institutional buyers, or in a privately negotiated transaction to a limited number of purchasers, or in limited quantities after they have been held for a specified period of time and other conditions are met pursuant to an exemption from registration, or in a public offering for which a registration statement is in effect under the Securities Act. A Fund may be deemed to be an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act when selling restricted securities to the public, and in such event the Fund may be liable to purchasers of such securities if the registration statement prepared by the issuer, or the Prospectuses forming a part of it, is materially inaccurate or misleading.
Restricted securities held by each Fund at October 31, 2019 are disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
Repurchase Agreements:Certain Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a Fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation (collateral) subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and a Fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. Under the terms of a master repurchase agreement, the underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Fund’s custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities purchased under repurchase agreements are reflected as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest earned is recorded as a component of interest income on the Statements of Operations. In periods of increased demand for collateral, a Fund may pay a fee for receipt of collateral, which may result in interest expense to the Fund. Generally, in the event of counterparty default, a Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. If the counterparty should default, a Fund may seek to sell the securities which it holds as collateral. This could involve procedural costs or delays in addition to a loss on the securities if their value should fall below their repurchase price. Repurchase agreements outstanding at period end, if any, including the underlying debt obligation (collateral) assigned to each agreement, are included within each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Securities Sold Short:Certain Funds may sell securities they do not own (a short sale) as a hedge against some of their long positions and/or in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. When a Fund makes a short sale, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker through which it made the short sale. The Fund may have to pay a fee to borrow the particular security and may be obligated to remit any interest or dividends received on such borrowed securities. Dividends declared on short positions are recorded on the ex-date as an expense. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss,
181
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
which could be unlimited in magnitude, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale if the market price at termination is less than or greater than, respectively, the proceeds originally received. The Fund is also subject to the risk that it may be unable to reacquire a security to terminate a short position except at a price substantially in excess of the last quoted price. The Fund is also subject to risk of loss if the broker were to fail to perform its obligations under the contractual terms. Liabilities for securities sold short are reported at market value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the change in market value is recorded as net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statements of Operations.
The Funds are required to pledge cash or liquid securities to the broker as collateral for securities sold short. Collateral requirements are calculated daily based on the current market value of the short positions. Daily market fluctuations and trading activity could cause the value of securities sold short to be more or less than the value of the collateral segregated. Cash deposited with the broker for collateral for securities sold short is recorded as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and securities segregated as collateral are denoted in the Schedules of Investments. The Funds may receive or pay the net of the following amounts: (i) a portion of the income from the investment of cash collateral; (ii) the broker’s fee on the borrowed securities; and (iii) a financing charge for the difference in the market value of the short position and cash collateral deposited with the broker. This income or fee is calculated daily based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent on the availability of the security.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Securities:Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. When-issued and delayed delivery securities in which the Funds may invest include U.S. Treasury Securities, municipal bonds, bank loans, and other similar instruments. The price of the underlying securities and date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the securities or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. In connection with such purchases, the Funds may hold liquid assets as collateral with the Funds’ custodian sufficient to cover the purchase price.
Zero Coupon and Payment In-Kind Bonds:A Fund may invest without limit in so-called zero-coupon bonds and payment-in-kind bonds. Zero-coupon bonds are issued at a significant discount from their principal amount in lieu of paying interest periodically. Payment-in-kind bonds allow the issuer, at its option, to make current interest payments on the bonds either in cash or in additional bonds. Because zero-coupon and payment-in-kind bonds do not pay current interest in cash, their value is subject to greater fluctuation in response to changes in market interest rates than bonds that pay interest currently. Both zero coupon and payment-in-kind bonds allow an issuer to avoid the need to generate cash to meet current interest payments. Accordingly, such bonds may involve greater credit risks than bonds paying interest currently in cash. A Fund is required to accrue interest income on such investments and to distribute such amounts at least annually to shareholders even though the investments do not make any current interest payments. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro rata adjustment, if any, from the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments to interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. Investment Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Investment Valuation Policies:The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of the Funds’ shares are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open (each a “Business Day”). The NAV per share of each Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of such Fund, less liabilities, by the total number of shares of the Fund outstanding at the time the computation is made.
Generally, a Fund’s investments are valued at market value or, in the absence of a market value, at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser’s Pricing Committee pursuant to procedures approved by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees of Morningstar Funds Trust (“the Board”). Pursuant to those procedures, the Pricing Committee considers, among other things: (1) the last sales price on the securities exchange, if any, on which a security is primarily traded; (2) the mean between the bid and asked prices; (3) price quotations from an approved pricing service, and (4) other factors as necessary to determine a fair value under certain circumstances.
Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market® for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ® Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. OTC securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market® shall be valued at the most recent trade price. Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available (including restricted securities which are subject to limitations as to their sale) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by or under the direction of the Board.
Short-term debt obligations with remaining maturities in excess of 60 days are valued at current market prices, as discussed above. To reflect their fair value, short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity may, unless conditions indicate otherwise, utilize amortized cost to maturity based on their cost to the Fund.
The securities in a Fund, which are traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any reported sales, at the mean between the last available bid and asked price. Securities that are traded on more than one exchange are valued on the exchange on which the security is principally traded.
Each Fund may invest in foreign securities, and as a result, the calculation of the Fund’s NAV may not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of certain of the Fund securities used in the calculation. Occasionally, events which affect the values of such securities and such exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE and will therefore not be reflected in the computation of a Fund’s NAV. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, then these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures established by and under the supervision of the Board as described above. Portfolio securities that are traded both on an exchange and in the OTC market will be valued according to the broadest and most representative market. All assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted into U.S. dollar
183
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
values at the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. dollars as last quoted by any recognized dealer. When portfolio securities are traded, the valuation will be the last reported sale price on the day of valuation.
All other assets of a Fund are valued in such manner as the Board in good faith deems appropriate to reflect their fair value. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Valuation Techniques: The following inputs and techniques may be used by the Funds to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities into the appropriate fair value hierarchy in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Equity securities, including securities sold short, rights, exchange options, warrants, Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and closed-end investment companies, are valued at the last quoted sales prices or official closing prices taken from the primary market, or composite in which each security trades and are therefore classified Level 1.
An equity for which no sales are reported, as in the case of a security that is traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market or a less liquid listed equity, is valued at its last bid price (in the case of short sales, at the asked price) and is therefore classified Level 2.
To address this issue, the Board has approved the daily use of independently provided quantitative models that may adjust the closing prices of certain foreign equity and fixed income securities based on information that becomes available after the foreign market closes, through the application of an adjustment factor to such securities’ closing price. Adjustment factors may be greater than, less than, or equal to 1. Thus, use of these quantitative models could cause a Fund to value a security higher, lower or equal to its closing market price, which in turn could cause the Fund’s NAV per share to differ from that which would have been calculated using closing market prices. The use of these quantitative models is also intended to decrease the opportunities for persons to engage in ‘‘time zone arbitrage,’’ i.e., trading intended to take advantage of stale closing prices in foreign markets that could affect the NAV of the Funds. Securities subjected to an adjustment factor due to the use of these quantitative models are not specifically designated on the Funds’ Schedule of Investments as being “fair valued,” are therefore classified as Level 2.
Fixed income securities (other than certain short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less) and other investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs and are also classified within Level 2. These include certain U.S. government and sovereign obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, money market funds and less liquid listed equities. Corporate and sovereign bonds and other fixed-income instruments are valued at estimated fair value using the latest bid prices or evaluated quotes furnished by independent pricing services, as well as quotations from counterparties and other market participants. Evaluated quotes are based on a matrix system, which may consider such factors as quoted prices for identical or similar assets, yields, maturities and ratings and are not necessarily reliant on
184
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
quoted prices. Short-term debt investments of sufficient credit quality maturing in 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These investments are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
Investments classified within Level 3, if any, have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level 3 instruments may include illiquid securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Funds may use one or more valuation approaches (e.g., the market approach or the income approach), including proprietary models for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within Level 3, the market approach generally is based on the technique of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach includes the estimation of future cash flows discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or durations of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment or adjusted as appropriate for credit, market and/or other risk factors.
The inputs used by the Funds in estimating the value of Level 3 investments may include the original transaction price, recent transactions in the same or similar instruments, completed or pending third-party transactions in the underlying investment or comparable issuers, subsequent rounds of financing, recapitalizations and other transactions across the capital structure, offerings in the equity or debt capital markets, changes in financial ratios or cash flows, benchmark yield curves, credit spreads, estimated default rates, underlying collateral, and other unique security features. Level 3 investments may also be adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, with the amount of such discount estimated by the Adviser in the absence of market information. Assumptions used by the Funds due to the lack of observable inputs may significantly impact the fair value of the investment.
Exchange-traded derivatives, such as futures contracts, forward contracts, and exchange-traded option contracts, are typically classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on whether or not they are deemed to be actively traded. Futures and option contracts that are listed on national exchanges and are freely transferable are valued at fair value based on their last sales price on the date of determination on the exchange their constitutes the principal market or, if no sales occurred on such date, at the bid price on such exchange at the close of business on such date. Centrally cleared swaps listed or traded on a multilateral trade facility platform, such as a registered exchange, are valued on a daily basis using quotations provided by an independent pricing service.
OTC derivatives, including options on forward contracts, put and call options, and swap contracts, are valued by the Funds on a daily basis using observable inputs, such as quotations provided by an independent pricing service, the counterparty, dealers or brokers, whenever available and considered reliable.
The U.S. Dollar value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined using current forward currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing service.
The Funds value the repurchase agreements they have entered based on the respective contract amounts, which approximate fair value. As such, repurchase agreements are carried at the amount of cash paid plus accrued interest receivable (or interest payable in periods of increased demand for collateral).
Shares of open-end investment companies, other than exchange-traded funds, are valued at their NAV.
185
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Fair Valuation Hierarchy: Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It establishes a framework and requires disclosure of a fair value hierarchy, separately for each major category of assets and liabilities that segregates fair value measurements into levels (Levels 1, 2, and 3). Categorizations of fair value measurements, and the criteria used to determine each categorization, are as follows:
| ● | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (e.g. equity securities and open-end investment companies) |
| ● | | Level 2 – prices determined using other significant observable inputs including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) or other market corroborated inputs |
| ● | | Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs (including the Pricing Committee’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Transfers between different levels of the fair value disclosure hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the end of the reporting period.
A valuation hierarchy including information regarding Level 3 securities, where applicable, is shown at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
5. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser, with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish certain portfolio management services to the Funds.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Funds have contractually agreed to pay the Adviser a management fee calculated on the average daily net assets for each Fund, in the annual ratios below.
| | |

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
subadvisers. The subadvisers manage each Fund’s investment portfolio pursuant to sub-advisory agreements with the Adviser. The Adviser manages the cash portion of each Fund which may include ETFs, mutual funds and money market fund investments.
The Trust and the Adviser have entered into a Voluntary Expense Limitation Agreement whereby the Adviser has agreed to waive all or a portion of its fees or assume certain other expenses of each Fund at least through August 31, 2020, to the extent necessary to ensure that the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, trading costs, acquired fund fees and expenses, litigation, dividend and interest expense related to short sales and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed the following rates, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. The amount the Adviser owes a Fund as of the reporting date is recorded as a Receivable from Adviser in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Adviser reimburses the Funds on a monthly basis. For the six months ended October 31, 2019 the Funds’ Adviser contractually waived fees for each of the Funds as follows:
| | | | | | | | |

7. Financial Derivative Instruments
Certain Funds may invest in derivatives as part of their principal investment strategies in an attempt to achieve their investment objective. The Funds’ derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under U.S. GAAP. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specificnon-U.S. currency in exchange for another currency, which may be U.S. dollars, at an agreed exchange rate (price) at a future date. Currency forwards are typically individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. A forward
189
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
foreign currency exchange contract will tend to reduce or eliminate exposure to the currency that is sold, and increase exposure to the currency that is purchased, similar to when a Fund sells a security denominated in one currency and purchases a security denominated in another currency.
At the maturity of a forward foreign currency exchange contract, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of a forward foreign currency exchange contract or, prior to maturity, the Fund may enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward foreign currency exchange contract are usually effected with the counterparty to the original forward contract. A Fund may also enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that do not provide for physical settlement of the two currencies but instead provide for settlement by a single cash payment calculated as the difference between the agreed upon exchange rate and the spot rate at settlement based upon an agreed upon notional amount (non-deliverable forwards).
The successful use of these transactions will usually depend on the adviser’s or a subadviser’s ability to accurately forecast currency exchange rate movements. Should exchange rates move in an unexpected manner, a Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the transaction, or it may realize losses. In addition, these techniques could result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised, including because of the counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. In unusual or extreme market conditions, a counterparty’s creditworthiness and ability to perform may deteriorate rapidly, and the availability of suitable replacement counterparties may become limited.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts may limit potential gain from a positive change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Unanticipated changes in currency prices may result in poorer overall performance for a Fund than if it had not engaged in such contracts. Moreover, there may be an imperfect correlation between a Fund’s portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular currency and the currencies bought or sold in the forward foreign currency exchange contract entered into by the Fund. This imperfect correlation may cause a Fund to sustain losses that will prevent the Fund from achieving a complete hedge or expose the Fund to risk of foreign exchange loss.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Realized gains or losses, if any, are included in Net realized gains (losses) on forward foreign currency exchange contracts in the Statements of Operations.
Futures Contracts: A Fund may enter into futures contracts. Generally, a futures contract is a standard binding agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying reference instrument, such as a specific security, rate, currency or commodity, at a specified price at a specified later date. Each Fund may purchase or sell interest rate futures for the purpose of hedging some or all of the value of its portfolio securities against changes in prevailing interest rates or to manage its duration or effective maturity. If the adviser or a subadviser anticipates that interest rates may rise and, concomitantly, the price of certain of its portfolio securities may fall, a Fund may sell futures contracts. If declining interest rates are anticipated, a Fund may purchase futures
190
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
contracts to protect against a potential increase in the price of securities the Fund intends to purchase. Subsequently, appropriate securities may be purchased by a Fund in an orderly fashion; as securities are purchased, corresponding futures positions would be terminated by offsetting sales of contracts.
When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it must deliver to an account controlled by a futures commission merchant (FCM) an amount referred to as “initial margin” that is typically calculated as an amount equal to the volatility in market value of a contract over a fixed period. Initial margin requirements are determined by the respective exchanges on which the futures contracts are traded and the FCM. Thereafter, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or received by the Fund in accordance with margin controls set for such accounts, depending upon changes in the marked-to-market value of the futures contract. The account is marked-to-market daily and the variation margin is monitored by the Fund’s investment manager and custodian on a daily basis. When the futures contract is closed out, if the Fund has a loss equal to or greater than the margin amount, the margin amount is paid to the FCM along with any loss in excess of the margin amount. If the Fund has a loss of less than the margin amount, the excess margin is returned to the Fund. If the Fund has a gain, the full margin amount and the amount of the gain is paid to the Fund.
A Fund’s use of futures contracts is subject to the risks associated with derivative instruments generally. In addition, if the adviser’s or a subadviser’s judgment about the general direction of interest rates or markets is wrong, a Fund’s overall performance may be poorer than if no financial futures contracts had been entered into. For example, in some cases, securities called for by a financial futures contract may not have been issued at the time the contract was written. In addition, the market prices of financial futures contracts may be affected by certain factors.
There is a risk of loss by the Fund of the initial and variation margin deposits in the event of bankruptcy of the FCM with which the Fund has an open position in a futures contract. The assets of a Fund may not be fully protected in the event of the bankruptcy of the FCM or central counterparty because the Fund might be limited to recovering only a pro rata share of all available Funds and margin segregated on behalf of an FCM’s customers. If an FCM does not provide accurate reporting, a Fund is also subject to the risk that the FCM could use the Fund’s assets, which are held in an omnibus account with assets belonging to the FCM’s other customers, to satisfy its own financial obligations or the payment obligations of another customer to the central counterparty.
The risk of loss in trading financial futures can be substantial due to the low margin deposits required and the extremely high degree of leverage involved in futures pricing. Relatively small price movements in a financial futures contract could have an immediate and substantial impact, which may be favorable or unfavorable to a Fund. It is possible for a price-related loss to exceed the amount of a Fund’s margin deposit.
Each Fund will incur brokerage fees in connection with its futures transactions. In addition, while futures contracts will be purchased and sold to reduce certain risks, those transactions themselves entail certain other risks. Thus, while a Fund may benefit from the use of futures, unanticipated changes in interest rates or stock price movements may result in a poorer overall performance for the Fund than if it had not entered into any futures contracts. Moreover, in the event of an imperfect correlation between the futures position and the portfolio position that is intended to be protected, the desired protection may not be obtained and the Fund may be exposed to risk of loss.

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Although some financial futures contracts by their terms call for the actual delivery or acquisition of securities at expiration, in most cases the contractual commitment is closed out before expiration. The offsetting of a contractual obligation is accomplished by purchasing (or selling as the case may be) on a commodities or futures exchange an identical financial futures contract calling for delivery in the same month. Such a transaction, if effected through a member of an exchange, cancels the obligation to make or take delivery of the securities. A Fund will incur brokerage fees when it purchases or sells financial futures contracts, and will be required to maintain margin deposits. If a liquid secondary market does not exist when a Fund wishes to close out a financial futures contract, it will not be able to do so and will continue to be required to make daily cash payments of variation margin in the event of adverse price movements. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to enter into closing transactions.
Futures contracts outstanding at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The Statements of Operations include any realized gains or losses on closed futures contracts in Net realized gains (losses) on futures contracts, and any unrealized gains or losses on open futures contracts in Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts. At October 31, 2019, Morningstar Total Return Bond Fund pledged cash to cover margin requirements for open future positions in an amount of $1,598,651, which is included in Due from Broker on Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options: A Fund may purchase and sell call and put options. An option is a contract that gives the purchaser of the option, in return for the premium paid, the right to buy an underlying reference instrument, such as a specified security, currency, index, or other instrument, from the writer of the option (in the case of a call option), or to sell a specified reference instrument to the writer of the option (in the case of a put option) at a designated price during the term of the option. The premium paid by the buyer of an option will reflect, among other things, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price and the volatility of the underlying reference instrument, the remaining term of the option, supply, demand, interest rates and/or currency exchange rates. An American style put or call option may be exercised at any time during the option period while a European style put or call option may be exercised only upon expiration or during a fixed period prior thereto. Put and call options are traded on national securities exchanges and in the OTC market.
As the buyer of a call option, a Fund has a right to buy the underlying reference instrument (e.g., a currency or security) at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). The Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to call options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. Unless the price of the underlying reference instrument changes sufficiently, a call option purchased by the Fund may expire without any value to the Fund, in which case the Fund would experience a loss to the extent of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs.
As the buyer of a put option, a Fund has the right to sell the underlying reference instrument at the exercise price at any time during the option period (for American style options). Like a call option, the Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to put options, exercise them or permit them to expire. If a put option is not terminated in a closing sale transaction when it has remaining value, and if the market price of the underlying reference instrument remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the buyer would not make any gain upon exercise of the option and would experience a loss to the extent
192
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
of the premium paid for the option plus related transaction costs. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying reference instrument must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs.
Writing options may permit the writer to generate additional income in the form of the premium received for writing the option. The writer of an option may have no control over when the underlying reference instruments must be sold (in the case of a call option) or purchased (in the case of a put option) because the writer may be notified of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the option (for American style options). In general, though, options are infrequently exercised prior to expiration. Whether or not an option expires unexercised, the writer retains the amount of the premium. Writing “covered” call options means that the writer owns the underlying reference instrument that is subject to the call option. Call options may also be written on reference instruments that the writer does not own.
If a call option written by a Fund expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. If the market price of the underlying reference instrument decreases, the call option will not be exercised and the Fund will be able to use the amount of the premium received to hedge against the loss in value of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option will be chosen based upon the expected price movement of the underlying reference instrument. The exercise price of a call option may be below, equal to (at-the money), or above the current value of the underlying reference instrument at the time the option is written.
As the writer of a put option, a Fund has a risk of loss should the underlying reference instrument decline in value. If the value of the underlying reference instrument declines below the exercise price of the put option and the put option is exercised, the Fund, as the writer of the put option, will be required to buy the instrument at the exercise price, which will exceed the market value of the underlying reference instrument at that time. The Fund will incur a loss to the extent that the current market value of the underlying reference instrument is less than the exercise price of the put option. However, the loss will be offset in part by the premium received from the buyer of the put. If a put option written by the Fund expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received.
Options involve certain risks, including general risks related to derivative instruments. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market on an exchange will exist for any particular option, or at any particular time, and the Fund may have difficulty effecting closing transactions in particular options. Therefore, the Fund would have to exercise the options it purchased in order to realize any profit, thus taking or making delivery of the underlying reference instrument when not desired. The Fund could then incur transaction costs upon the sale of the underlying reference instruments. Similarly, when the Fund cannot effect a closing transaction with respect to a put option it wrote, and the buyer exercises, the Fund would be required to take delivery and would incur transaction costs upon the sale of the underlying reference instruments purchased. If the Fund, as a covered call option writer, is unable to effect a closing purchase transaction in a secondary market, it will not be able to sell the underlying reference instrument until the option expires, it delivers the underlying instrument upon exercise, or it segregates enough liquid assets to purchase the underlying reference instrument at the marked-to-market price during the term of the option. When trading options on non-U.S. exchanges or in the
193
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
OTC market, many of the protections afforded to exchange participants will not be available. For example, there may be no daily price fluctuation limits, and adverse market movements could therefore continue to an unlimited extent over an indefinite period of time.
The effectiveness of an options strategy for hedging depends on the degree to which price movements in the underlying reference instruments correlate with price movements in the relevant portion of the Fund’s portfolio that is being hedged. In addition, the Fund bears the risk that the prices of its portfolio investments will not move in the same amount as the option it has purchased or sold for hedging purposes, or that there may be a negative correlation that would result in a loss on both the investments and the option. If the investment manager is not successful in using options in managing the Fund’s investments, the Fund’s performance will be worse than if the investment manager did not employ such strategies.
Swaptions: An option on an interest-rate swap (sometimes referred to as a “swaption”) is a contract that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, in return for payment of a premium, to enter into a new interest-rate swap. Options on swap agreements involve the risks associated with derivative instruments generally, as well as the additional risks associated with both options and swaps generally. A pay fixed option on an interest-rate swap gives the buyer the right to establish a position in an interest-rate swap where the buyer will pay (and the writer will receive) the fixed-rate cash flows and receive (and the writer will pay) the floating-rate cash flows. In general, most options on interest-rate swaps are “European” exercise, which means that they can only be exercised at the end of the option term.
Depending on the movement of interest rates between the time of purchase and expiration, the value of the underlying interest-rate swap and therefore also the value of the option on the interest-rate swap will change. When a Fund purchases an option on a swap agreement, it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid should it decide to let the option expire unexercised, plus any related transaction costs. However, if a Fund writes (sells) a swaption, the Fund is bound by the terms of the underlying swap agreement upon exercise of the option by the buyer, which may result in losses to the Fund in excess of the premium it received.
Options on swap agreements are considered to be swaps for purposes of CFTC regulation. Although they are traded OTC, the CFTC may in the future designate certain options on swaps as subject to mandatory clearing.
When the Fund purchases a swaption, an amount equal to the premium paid by the Fund is recorded as an investment on the Schedule of Investments, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the swaption purchased. If the swaption expires, the Fund realizes a loss equal to the amount of the premium paid.
Swaptions are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers. Changes in the value of the swaption are reported as unrealized gains or losses.
Interest Rate, Inflation Index and Total Return Swap Contracts: A Fund may purchase interest-rate swaps. A Fund may use interest-rate swaps to increase or decrease exposure to a particular interest rate or rates, which may result in the Fund experiencing a gain or loss depending on whether the interest rates increased or decreased during the term of the agreement. A Fund may also enter into inflation index swaps to manage exposure to inflation risk. An inflation index swap is an agreement between two parties, whereby one
194
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
party makes payments based on the cumulative percentage increase in an index that serves as a measure of inflation (typically, the Consumer Price Index) and the other party makes a regular payment based on a compounded fixed rate. The value of an inflation index swap is expected to change in response to changes in the rate of inflation. If inflation increases at a faster rate than anticipated at the time the swap is entered into, the swap will increase in value. Similarly, if inflation increases at a rate slower than anticipated at the time the swap is entered into, the swap will decrease in value. A Fund may also engage in total return swaps, in which payments made by the Fund or the counterparty are based on the total return of a particular reference asset or assets (such as a fixed-income security, a combination of securities, or an index). The value of a Fund’s swap positions would increase or decrease depending on the changes in value of the underlying rates, currency values, volatility or other indexes or measures. Caps and floors have an effect similar to buying or writing options. Depending on how they are used, swap agreements may increase or decrease the overall volatility of the Fund’s investments and its share price. A Fund’s ability to engage in certain swap transactions may be limited by tax considerations.
A Fund’s ability to realize a profit from such transactions will depend on the ability of the financial institutions with which it enters into the transactions to meet their obligations to the Fund. If a counterparty’s creditworthiness declines, the value of the agreement would be likely to decline, potentially resulting in losses. If a default occurs by the other party to such transaction, a Fund will have contractual remedies pursuant to the agreements related to the transaction, which may be limited by applicable law in the case of a counterparty’s insolvency. Under certain circumstances, suitable transactions may not be available to a Fund, or the Fund may be unable to close out its position under such transactions at the same time, or at the same price, as if it had purchased comparable publicly traded securities. Swaps carry counterparty risks that cannot be fully anticipated. Also, because swap transactions typically involve a contract between the two parties, such swap investments can be extremely illiquid, as it is uncertain as to whether another counterparty would wish to take assignment of the rights under the swap contract at a price acceptable to a Fund.
For centrally cleared swaps, the Schedules of Investments includes the cumulative appreciation (depreciation), while only the current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For credit default and interest rate contracts, an up-front payment received by a Fund is recorded as a liability and an upfront payment made by a Fund is recorded as an asset on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Upfront payments are amortized over the term of the contract. If there is no upfront payment or receipt, market value will equal unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Periodic payments received (paid) by a Fund are recorded as realized gains (losses) from the expiration or closing of swap contracts on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Periodic payments received (paid) by the Funds are recorded as realized gains (losses). Interest rate swaps are marked to market daily and the change is recorded as unrealized gain (loss) on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations. The Funds’ risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Schedule of Investments. Non-deliverable interest rate swap contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. Dollars without the delivery of foreign currency. Centrally cleared interest rate swaps may have forward effective dates. The amortization of the upfront premiums (if applicable) and payments related to these swap contracts begin on the effective date of the contract. Interest rate contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
195

Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Credit Default Swap Contracts: A Fund may purchase credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that enables the Fund to buy or sell protection against a credit event related to a particular issuer. One party, acting as a protection buyer, makes periodic payments, which may be based on, among other things, a fixed or floating rate of interest, to the other party, a protection seller, in exchange for a promise by the protection seller to make a payment to the protection buyer if a negative credit event (such as a delinquent payment or default) occurs with respect to a referenced bond or group of bonds. Credit default swaps may also be structured based on the debt of a basket of issuers, rather than a single issuer, and may be customized with respect to the default event that triggers purchase or other factors, or defaults by a particular combination of issuers within the basket, may trigger a payment obligation). As a credit protection seller in a credit default swap contract, a Fund would be required to pay the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty following certain negative credit events as to a specified third-party debtor, such as default by a U.S. or non-U.S. corporate issuer on its debt obligations. In return for its obligation, a Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments, which may be based on, among other things, a fixed or floating rate of interest, over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, a Fund would keep the stream of payments, and would have no payment obligations to the counterparty. A Fund may sell credit protection to earn additional income and/or to take a synthetic long position in the underlying security or basket of securities.
A Fund may enter into credit default swap contracts as protection buyer to hedge against the risk of default on the debt of a particular issuer or basket of issuers or attempt to profit from a deterioration or perceived deterioration in the creditworthiness of the particular issuer(s) (also known as buying credit protection). This would involve the risk that the investment may expire worthless and would only generate gain in the event of an actual default by the issuer(s) of the underlying obligation(s) (or, as applicable, a credit downgrade or other indication of financial instability). It would also involve the risk that the seller may fail to satisfy its payment obligations to a Fund. The purchase of credit default swaps involves costs, which will reduce a Fund’s return.
Credit default swaps involve a number of special risks. A protection seller may have to pay out amounts following a negative credit event greater than the value of the reference obligation delivered to it by its counterparty and the amount of periodic payments previously received by it from the counterparty. When a Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap, it is exposed to, among other things, leverage risk because if an event of default occurs the seller must pay the buyer the full notional value of the reference obligation. Each party to a credit default swap is subject to the credit risk of its counterparty (the risk that its counterparty may be unwilling or unable to perform its obligations on the swap as they come due). The value of the credit default swap to each party will change based on changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of the underlying issuer.
A protection buyer may lose its investment and recover nothing should an event of default not occur. A Fund may seek to realize gains on its credit default swap positions, or limit losses on its positions, by selling those positions in the secondary market. There can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist at any given time for any particular credit default swap or for credit default swaps generally.
The market for credit default swaps has become more volatile in recent years as the creditworthiness of certain counterparties has been questioned and/or downgraded. The parties to a credit default swap may be required to post collateral to each other. If a Fund posts initial or periodic collateral to its counterparty, it may not be able
196
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
to recover that collateral from the counterparty in accordance with the terms of the swap. In addition, if the Fund receives collateral from its counterparty, it may be delayed or prevented from realizing on the collateral in the event of the insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty. A Fund may exit its obligations under a credit default swap only by terminating the contract and paying applicable breakage fees, or by entering into an offsetting credit default swap position, which may cause the Fund to incur more losses.
The credit default contracts are marked to market daily and the change, if any, is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Changes in market value are accounted for as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is closed, at which time the gains or losses are realized. Upon the occurrence of a credit event, the difference between the par value and market value of the reference obligation, net of any proportional amount of the up-front payment, is recorded as a realized gain or loss on swap contracts in the Statements of Operations.
The Fund’s risk of loss associated with these instruments may exceed their value, as recorded in the Schedule of Investments. Credit default contracts outstanding, including their respective notional amounts at period end, if any, are listed after each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default contracts on corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country as of period end are disclosed in the Schedules of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default contracts on asset-backed securities and credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads and increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
Master Agreements: Certain Funds are parties to master netting arrangements with counterparties (“Master Agreements”). Master Agreements govern the terms of certain like transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions by specifying payment netting mechanisms across multiple transactions and providing standardization that improves legal certainty. Since different types of transactions have different mechanics and are sometimes traded by different legal entities of a particular counterparty organization, each type of transaction may be covered by a different Master Agreement, resulting in the need for multiple Master Agreements with a counterparty and its affiliates.
As the Master Agreements are specific to unique operations of different asset types, they allow the Funds to i) close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single Master Agreement with a counterparty, ii) exit transactions through means other than sale, such as through a negotiated agreement with the Funds’ counterparty, a transfer to another party, or close out of the position through execution of an offsetting transaction.
197
Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
Master Repurchase Agreements govern repurchase, or reverse repurchase transactions, relating to government bonds between certain Funds and select counterparties. Master Repurchase Agreements maintain provisions for initiation, income payments, events of default, and maintenance of collateral.
Prime Broker Arrangements may be entered into to facilitate execution and/or clearing of equities, bonds, equity options or short sales of securities between certain Funds and selected counterparties. These arrangements provide financing terms for such transactions and include guidelines surrounding the rights, obligations, and other events, including, but not limited to, margin, execution, and settlement. These agreements maintain provisions for payments, maintenance of collateral, events of default, and termination. Margin and other assets delivered as collateral are typically held by the prime broker and offset any obligations due to the prime broker.
Customer Account Agreements govern cleared derivatives transactions and exchange-traded futures and options transactions. Upon entering into an exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivative contract, the Funds are required to deposit with the relevant clearing organization cash or securities, which is referred to as the initial margin. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited is recorded as Deposits with brokers for centrally cleared swaps and Deposits with brokers for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For exchange-traded futures or centrally cleared swaps, initial margin is posted, and daily changes in fair value are recorded as a payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as Variation margin on centrally cleared swaps and Variation margin on futures contracts. Variation margin is determined separately for exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps and cannot be netted.
International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements and Credit Support Annexes (“ISDA Master Agreements”) govern OTC derivative transactions entered into between certain Funds and a counterparty. ISDA Master Agreements maintain provisions for general obligations, representations, netting of settlement payments, agreements to deliver supporting documents, collateral transfer and events of default or termination. Events of termination include a decline in the Fund’s net assets below a specified threshold over a certain period of time or a decline in the counterparty’s long-term and short-term credit ratings below a specified level. In each case, upon occurrence, the other party may elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all OTC contracts outstanding, including the payment of any losses and costs resulting from such early termination, as reasonably determined by the terminating party. Any decision by a party to elect early termination could be material to the financial statements and impact a Fund’s future derivative activity.
Collateral and margin requirements differ according to the terms of each type of Master Agreement. Collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure net of existing collateral already in place governed under the relevant Master Agreement with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold. Collateral can be in the form of cash, debt securities issued by the U.S. government, money market funds and other securities as agreed to by the Fund and the applicable counterparty, or as permitted by the clearing house or exchange.

Collateral pledged by a Fund for OTC derivatives pursuant to a Master Agreement is segregated by the Fund’s custodian and identified as an asset in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities either as a component of Investments in securities, at value (securities) or in Due from brokers (cash). Segregation of a Fund’s collateral in the custodian account helps mitigate counterparty risk.
Collateral posted for the benefit of a Fund pursuant to a Master Agreement is held by a custodian of the Fund. Amounts which can be invested or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Collateral received is reflected as a liability within Due to brokers in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
The Funds use derivative instruments as part of their principal investment strategy to achieve their investment objectives. The Funds’ derivative contracts are not accounted for as hedging instruments under GAAP. The effect of such derivative instruments on the Funds’ financial position and financial performance for the period ended October 31, 2019 are as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis appreciation (depreciation) on investments is primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals, mark to market on passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”), and timing of income recognition from Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”).
As of April 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (loss) (excluding paid in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:

Morningstar Funds Trust October 31, 2019 (unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements(continued)
At April 30, 2019, the Funds had no capital loss carryforwards to offset future capital gains, due to the Funds commencing operations on November 2, 2018.
9. Principal Risks and Concentrations
Multimanager and Subadviser Selection Risk:To a significant extent, the Funds’ performance depends on Morningstar’s skill in selecting subadvisers and each subadviser’s skill in selecting securities and executing its strategy. Subadviser strategies may occasionally be out of favor and subadvisers may underperform relative to their peers or benchmarks.
Foreign Securities Risk:Securities of non-U.S. issuers may be less liquid, more volatile, and harder to value than U.S. securities. They may also be subject to political, economic and regulatory risks, and market instability.
Emerging-Markets Risk:Emerging-market countries may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few industries, which can cause greater instability. These countries are also more likely to experience higher levels of inflation, deflation, or currency devaluations, which could hurt their economies and securities markets.
Geographic Concentration Risk:To the extent that a Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a particular country, region or continent, economic, political, social and environmental conditions in such country, region or continent will have a greater effect on the Fund’s performance than they would in a more geographically diversified equity fund.
Currency Risk:Because some of the Funds invest in foreign securities, changes in currency exchange rates could hurt performance. Morningstar or a subadviser may decide not to hedge, or may not be successful in hedging, its currency exposure.
Interest-Rate Risk:The value of fixed-income securities will typically decline when interest rates rise.
Credit Risk:Issuers of fixed-income securities could default or be downgraded if they fail to make required payments of principal or interest.
Derivatives Risk:A derivative is an instrument with a value based on the performance of an underlying currency, security, index, or other reference asset. Derivatives involve risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks of investing in more traditional investments. Derivatives involve costs, may create leverage, and may be illiquid, volatile, or difficult to value. In addition, derivatives could cause losses if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised. The investment results achieved by using derivatives may not match or fully offset changes in the value of the underlying currency, security, index, or other reference asset that a Fund was attempting to hedge or the investment opportunity it was trying to pursue.

10. Principal Ownership
As of October 31, 2019, the Funds had omnibus accounts owning more than 5% of the total shares outstanding of each Fund as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Number of Shareholders | | | % Ownership1 | |
| | |
Morningstar U.S. Equity Fund | | | 4 | | | | 98% | |
Morningstar International Equity Fund | | | 4 | | | | 98% | |
Morningstar Global Income Fund | | | 3 | | | | 94% | |

Morningstar Unconstrained Allocation Fund | | | 4 | | | | 97% | |
Morningstar Alternatives Fund | | | 3 | | | | 91% | |
1Includes omnibus positions of broker-dealers representing numerous shareholder accounts.
Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Funds.
11. Line of Credit
The Funds have a $50 million line of credit agreement with Northern Trust. Borrowings are made solely to facilitate the handling of redemptions or unusual or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Because several Funds participate and collateral requirements apply, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to the entire $50 million at any particular time. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above the Federal Funds rate. In addition, an administration fee of $20,000 was incurred by the Funds at inception of the agreement, $10,000 payable annually thereafter, and allocated among the Funds.
During the six months ended October 31, 2019, Morningstar Municipal Bond Fund had an outstanding balance for 2 days with a maximum balance of $1,200,000 at an average weighted interest rate of 3.63%.

Fund Expenses
As a shareholder of Morningstar Funds Trust, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, administration, custody, sub-accounting, trustees and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2019 through October 31, 2019.
Actual Expenses
The three columns for each Fund in the table under the “Actual” heading provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the second column for your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The last three columns for each Fund in the table under the “Hypothetical (5% return)” heading provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the last three columns for each Fund in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
