Descriptions of Indexes Included in this Report

• 50/50 Blended Benchmark, established by the Fund's advisor, is an equally weighted custom composite of Columbia Thermostat Fund's primary equity and primary debt benchmarks, the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, respectively. The percentage of the Fund's assets allocated to underlying stock and bond portfolio funds will vary, and accordingly the composition of the Fund's portfolio will not always reflect the composition of the 50/50 Blended Benchmark.

• Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks the daily price, coupon, pay-downs and total return performance of fixed-rate, publicly placed, dollar-denominated and non-convertible investment grade debt issues with at least $250 million par amount outstanding and with at least one year to final maturity.

• Lipper Indexes include the largest funds tracked by Lipper, Inc. in the named category. Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index, 30 largest small-cap core funds; Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index, 30 largest mid-cap growth funds; Lipper International Small/Mid Growth Funds Index, 10 largest non-U.S. small/mid growth funds, i ncluding Columbia Acorn International; Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index, 30 largest small-cap growth funds; Lipper International Funds Index, 30 largest non-U.S. funds, excluding non-U.S. small-cap funds; Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Index, an equal-weighted index of the 30 largest mutual funds within the Flexible Portfolio fund classification, as defined by Lipper.

• Morgan Stanley Capital International Europe, Australasia, Far East (MSCI EAFE) Index is a capitalization-weighted index that tracks the total return of common stocks in 21 developed-market countries within Europe, Australasia and the Far East.

• Russell 2000 Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.

• Russell 2500 Index measures the performance of the 2,500 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 17% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index.

• Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Index tracks the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks.

• Standard & Poor's (S&P) MidCap 400 Index is a market value-weighted index that tracks the performance of 400 mid-cap U.S. companies.

• S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Between $2 Billion and $10 Billion Index is a subset of the broad market selected by the index sponsor representing the mid-cap developed market, excluding the United States.

• S&P Global Ex-U.S. SmallCap Index is an unmanaged index consisting of the bottom 20% of institutionally investable capital of developed and emerging countries, excluding the United States.

• S&P Global Ex-U.S. Between $500 Million and $5 Billion Index is a subset of the broad market selected by the index sponsor representing the mid- and small-cap developed and emerging markets, excluding the United States.

Unlike mutual funds, indexes are not managed and do not incur fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Letter to Shareholders from the
Columbia Acorn Board of Trustees

Change and Continuity

Fellow Shareholders:

Our Funds enter the New Year facing important governance changes. In the next few months, your Trustees expect that the Fund's investment adviser, Columbia Wanger Asset Management ("CWAM"), will be sold to Ameriprise Financial, Inc. By law, your Trustees must determine whether CWAM should continue to serve as the Funds' investment adviser under its new ownership. Accordingly, the Board has spent significant time and effort considering whether this transaction is in the best interests of shareholders. A specially appointed committee of the Board has reviewed and is negotiating a proposed new investment advisory agreement and contracts with other critical service providers required upon a change of control of the investment adviser. The law also requires that shareholders approve the new investment advisory contract, and proxy materials describing these matters will be sent to shareholders before a change of control takes place.

A second area of change – and continuity – relates to your Funds' Trustees. Sadly, former Chair Bob Nason passed away last June and long-time trustee Jerry Kahn retired at year end. After a transitional period following Bob's death, the Board elected Steve Kaplan as Vice Chair and the undersigned as Chair. I am happy to report that the Board has also elevated Ralph Wanger to "Trustee Emeritus" upon his retirement as a Trustee later this year. This emeritus status allows the Board to continue to benefit from Ralph's experience, insight, and wisdom. Finally, we've rotated the leadership of each of the Board's committees. These changes reflect succession plans put in place by Bob Nason and Allan Muchin (the immediate past Vice Chair) in an effort to preserve the Board's strong independent tradition.

All of your Trustees are, like you, shareholders in the Funds. As such, we were heartened by the recent recovery in the financial markets and the Funds. The domestic Funds did particularly well, exceeding their benchmarks by a significant margin. More importantly, all of the Funds continue to do well when considered over the longer term. Such long-term success remains the constant focus of the Board.

Transitions are rarely easy. That said, your Trustees have worked to identify potential problems and minimize the impact should any arise. In taking these actions, we are following the example of the thoughtful and independent Acorn directors who came before us. They taught your Board to understand and appreciate its role as an unwavering advocate for shareholders and the ultimate protector of the Funds.

Thank you for your trust in the Acorn Funds.

James A. Star
Independent Chairman of the Board of Trustees

**The comparison to the S&P 500 Index is presented to show performance against a widely recognized market index over the life of the Fund.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in a Fund will fluctuate so that Fund shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Please visit columbiafunds.com for daily and most recent month-end updates.

Net asset value (NAV) returns do not include sales charges or contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC). If they were included, returns would have been lower. Class Z shares are sold only at NAV with no Rule 12b-1 fee. Only eligible investors may purchase Class Z shares of the Funds, directly or by exchange. Please see each Fund's prospectus for eligibility and other details. Class Z shares have limited eligibility and the investment minimum requirement may vary.

Performance results reflect any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

Annual operating expense ratios are as stated in each Fund's current prospectus and differences in expense ratios disclosed elsewhere in this report may result from including fee waivers and expense reimbursements as well as different time periods used in calculating the ratios. Columbia Acorn Fund Class Z: 0.76%. Columbia Acorn International Class Z: 0.96%. Columbia Acorn USA Class Z: 1.01%. Columbia Acorn International Select Class Z: 1.21%. Columbia Acorn Select Class Z: 0.95%. Columbia Thermostat Fund has a contractual expense waiver or reimbursement that expires April 30, 2010. Expense ratios without and with the contractual waiver, including fees and expenses associated with the Fund's investments in other investment companies, for Class Z shares are 1.05% and 0.97%, respectively. Absent the waiver or reimbursement, performance results would have been lower.

†A "fund of funds" bears its allocable share of the costs and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such funds are thus subject to two levels of fees and potentially higher expense ratios than would be associated with an investment in a fund that invests and trades directly in financial instruments under the direction of a single manager.

††The 50/50 Blended Benchmark is a custom supplemental benchmark established by the advisor.

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.

Unlike mutual funds, indexes are not actively managed and do not incur fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. For index definitions, see the inside front cover of this report.

The dates in parantheses are the inception dates for each respective Fund.

Squirrel Chatter II: Skill and Luck

Research has proven that it is extremely difficult for institutional investors to consistently outperform the stock market. The performance distribution among mutual funds usually looks like a bell shaped curve, with some funds outperforming, many underperforming, and the average fund underperforming its benchmark roughly by its expense ratio. I'm happy to say that the Columbia Acorn Funds have historically outperformed their primary benchmark for most time periods, as you can see on Page 1. But researchers note that there are thousands of mutual funds, and purely random outcomes will lead some funds to outperform. This raises an interesting debate: Do funds that outperform do so due to skill, or due to luck?

We try hard to apply investment skills in managing our Funds. We follow a time-tested approach and have an experienced and highly specialized team of investment professionals picking the stocks in which we invest. However, in order to cover both bases, I decided to also read up on luck. Dr. Richard Wiseman's The Luck Factor¹ discusses his research and provides some common sense approaches that may enable people to become luckier.

Wiseman procured hundreds of volunteers, creating one group of people who considered themselves lucky and another who considered themselves unlucky. He tested conventional notions of luck. As one might expect, the lucky group had no apparent psychic ability; their guesses of upcoming lottery numbers were no better than guesses made by the unlucky group. Superstition was not effective either, as the appearance of a black cat vs. a white cat had no impact on results of a coin toss competition.

Instead, Wiseman concluded that people take specific actions that enable them to be lucky and succeed. He provides four principles that induce luck:

1) Maximize your chance opportunities

2) Listen to your lucky hunches

3) Expect good fortune

4) Turn bad luck into good

Though Wiseman does not explicitly mention investing, each principle can be applied in pursuit of successful money management.

Maximizing chance opportunities entails meeting a large number of people and creating networks to obtain information and investment ideas. Being observant and open to new ideas also helps. Successful investments can be discovered inadvertently: years ago I observed long lines and rising prices at parking garages in downtown Chicago and then profitably invested in a parking lot stock. Rather than pursuing information in hope of confirming existing opinions, pursuing unbiased information could induce the sale of an existing stock and purchase of a superior new one.

Listening to lucky hunches requires the use of intuition. Stocks tend to quickly react to information, and acting early, using imperfect information, is indeed an art form. We once had an analyst who tended to act only after obtaining repeated confirmations that company fundamentals had changed. He performed poorly because stocks often moved before he acted. In contrast, we recently successfully invested in a telecommunications stock that appeared likely to rise as an increasing number of Wall Street analysts began following it. Occasionally, we choose not to pursue possible investment opportunities because they simply don't feel right.

The next luck-inducing principle is to expect good fortune. This is consistent with our investment philosophy. We put money into stocks with the expectation that they will make money over time. We tend to expect continued good fortune from our successful investments and, when it makes sense, let our winners run. This has resulted in lower turnover than the industry average for the Columbia Acorn Funds.

We also attempt to turn bad luck into good and pursue an occasional positive side of bad luck. In the 1980s, several of our analysts complained about aggressive foreign competitors hurting companies we held in Columbia Acorn Fund. The portfolio manager at that time, Ralph Wanger, coined the phrase, "Don't bitch, switch!" and we've owned some foreign stocks in Acorn Fund ever since. We've learned that one company's problem may be

another company's opportunity, and that the best choice may be to invest in the latter company.

Ben Sherwood's The Survivors Club² also mentions a few attributes applicable to investing. Situational awareness is a key part of military survival training and is important in investing too. Although many homebuilding stocks looked cheap during the housing bubble, generally avoiding them benefited our shareholders. Likewise, a well-run company may perform well within a highly competitive industry, but its stock could have substantial downside if its management changes or it grows beyond its niche.

As defined by Sherwood, the "incredulity response" occurs when very unusual events occur, such as catastrophes. Market meltdowns also appear to qualify. People tend to not believe such an event is happening and become paralyzed. Instead, survivors need to act positively. During a market meltdown, the market becomes extremely risk averse, and pays investors handsomely to take risk. That was true a year ago and we invested in several companies with substantial debt that our analysis indicated would likely survive and flourish. On average, those stocks performed very well for shareholders.

Both authors believe that people can create their own luck. After reading their perspectives, I have to agree. We at Columbia Wanger Asset Management think that creating luck is a skill and that providing above average returns is no random act.

The information and data provided in this analysis are derived from sources that we deem to be reliable and accurate. These views are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict so actual outcomes and results may differ significantly from the views expressed. The views/opinions expressed in "Squirrel Chatter II" are those of the author and not of the Columbia Acorn Trust Board, are subject to change at any time based upon economic, market or other conditions, may differ from views expressed by other Columbia Management associates or other divisions of Bank of America and the respective parties disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Columbia Acorn Fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on beha lf of any particular Columbia Acorn Fund.

Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies. International investing involves special risks, including foreign taxation, currency risks, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards and other risks associated with future political and economic developments. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility. A fund that maintains a relatively concentrated portfolio may be subject to greater risk than a fund that is more fully diversified.

Understanding Your Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Columbia Acorn Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Class Z shares of the Columbia Acorn Funds for the last six months. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different results. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using each Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and then applies each Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the reporting period. See "Compare With Other Funds" for details on using the hypothetical data.

July 1, 2009 - December 31, 2009

	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)				Account value at the end of the period ($)				Expenses paid during the period ($)				Fund's annualized expense ratio (%)*
Class Z Shares	Actual		Hypothetical		Actual		Hypothetical		Actual		Hypothetical		Actual
Columbia Acorn Fund		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,272.20		1,021.42		4.30		3.82		0.75
Columbia Acorn International		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,244.50		1,020.37		5.43		4.89		0.96
Columbia Acorn USA		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,309.40		1,020.11		5.88		5.14		1.01
Columbia Acorn International Select		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,200.00		1,019.21		6.60		6.06		1.19
Columbia Acorn Select		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,336.00		1,020.37		5.65		4.89		0.96
Columbia Thermostat Fund**		1,000.00		1,000.00		1,228.70		1,023.95		1.40		1.28		0.25

Expenses paid during the period are equal to each Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half-year and divided by 365.

It is important to note that the expense amounts shown in the table are meant to highlight only ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical examples provided may not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Columbia Thermostat Fund's expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred by the Fund from the underlying portfolio funds in which it invests.

*For the six months ended December 31, 2009.

**Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Compare With Other Funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the continuing costs of investing in a fund and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges or redemption or exchange fees.

Estimating Your Actual Expenses

To estimate the expenses that you actually paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

• For shareholders who receive their account statements from Columbia Management Services, Inc., your account balance is available online at columbiafunds.com or by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 922-6769.

• For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm to obtain your account balance.

1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

2. In the section of the table titled "Expenses paid during the period," locate the amount for your Fund. You will find this number is in the column labeled "Actual." Multiply this number by the result from step 1. Your answer is an estimate of the expenses you paid on your account during the period.

Columbia Acorn Fund jumped 39.65% in 2009, some 5.26% above its primary benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index. During the fourth quarter, the Fund appreciated 5.74%, modestly more than the Russell 2500's 5.08% gain. Additional performance comparisons can be found on Page 1 of this report.

Energy stocks were important contributors to the Fund's performance for the year and the quarter. Offshore oil service providers FMC Technologies, Fugro and Atwood Oceanics all more than doubled during the year on strong revenues and volumes. Oil and gas producers Southwestern Energy and Pacific Rubiales Energy provided 13% and 19% returns in the fourth quarter due to increased production, while XTO Energy rose 16% as its acquisition by Exxon Mobil was announced in December. We sold the Fund's XTO shares on the news.

Telecom stocks were also strong performers. Communications tower company Crown Castle International provided the Fund's largest dollar gains during both periods on a 122% surge for the year, including a 24% gain in the fourth quarter. We had added to holdings in Crown Castle during the credit crunch in late 2008, correctly believing in the company's business model and its ability to service a fairly large debt load. Provider of fiber optic telephone and data services tw telecom doubled during the year and gained 27% in the quarter as its business model proved to be fairly resistant to the recession.

After a tough 2008, retailers cashed in big gains in 2009. J Crew Group more than tripled and Urban Outfitters more than doubled on fine earnings due to strong product lines, market share gains and expense controls. Chico's FAS stock jumped 268% as new management executed a turnaround plan. Handbag designer and marketer Coach bagged a 77% gain for the year as management continued to execute well. All were up between 8% and 25% during the fourth quarter.

As might be expected given its overall results, Columbia Acorn Fund had few large losers in 2009. In the financials sector, Associated Banc-Corp was the largest dollar loser, falling 46% on large credit losses, while MB Financial and Valley National Bancorp fell about half that percentage for much the same reason. While we hate any losses, the Fund's aggregate bank holdings fell 5% in the year, much less than the loss of 22% in the benchmark's bank portfolio. During the quarter, Illumina, a maker of medical devices, was the largest dollar loser, off 28% on a revenue shortfall.

Columbia Acorn Fund's foreign stocks were up 76.73% for the year and 6.84% for the fourth quarter. The foreign portfolio has relatively large weights in energy and materials companies, which have done well. Fugro and Pacific Rubiales Energy, mentioned above, were the top international contributors. At year-end, international stocks made up 11.1% of the Fund.

We spent much of the last 15 months dealing with a volatile stock market and a weak economy. Understanding that smaller caps and more risky stocks have historically tended to recover the most off a deep market bottom, we prudently pursued them. Many of those investments were successful, and now we are pursuing companies that we expect to have good earnings growth. While we are happy with 2009 and fourth quarter performance, we realize that we have still not returned to the Fund's 2008 highs.

Fund's Positions
in Mentioned Holdings

As a percentage of net assets,
as of 12/31/09

Naspers	1.8	%
Seven Bank	0.5	%
Wacom	0.4	%

Columbia Acorn International returned 4.32% in the fourth quarter of 2009, 0.86% ahead of its primary benchmark, the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Between $500 Million and $5 Billion Index. The Fund's annual total return of 50.97% trailed its benchmark by 4.52%. Across most markets, share price performance was negatively correlated with size as smaller-capitalized stocks outperformed their larger brethren. The large-cap MSCI EAFE Index returned a relatively modest 31.78%.

We manage Columbia Acorn International with the intention of holding Fund investments for three- to five-years, which is relatively long among international small-cap managers. We believe Fund performance should be considered in this context. A glance at the performance table on Page 1 shows that the Fund's three- and five-year average annual returns were -1.42% and 9.44%, respectively. Both results remain ahead of Fund benchmarks and peer averages.

Much has been written in the financial press about the equity market's return from the precipice after a difficult January and February in 2009. We will not reproduce that discussion here, other than to note that the market rebound generally played out in a fashion consistent with a sudden subsidence of risk aversion across the board. The riskiest equities, including illiquid micro-caps, highly indebted companies and emerging market stocks, led the charge upward. In contrast, lower-risk markets such as Japan, where stocks are cheap, balance sheets overcapitalized and growth expectations generally too anemic to provide cause for disappointment, barely moved. Japanese small- to mid-cap stocks rose a mere 5.6% in U.S. dollar terms in 2009. In this context, it is interesting to look at the winning and losing stocks in the Fund whose performance cannot be explained by changes in how risk is priced alone. This highlights where stock p icking matters.

Fund standouts on the upside included Naspers and Wacom. Naspers is a misunderstood South African-listed media company. With a dominant pay TV franchise in sub-Saharan Africa and a large stake in Tencent, a Hong Kong-listed Internet service provider and gaming company targeting the Chinese market, many investors have been unsure how to analyze the company. Our colleague Fritz Kaegi ferreted out this South African company, which more than doubled in the year and is now the Fund's largest position. Wacom is a Japanese technology company that jumped 155% in 2009 when demand for its pen tablet for professional and consumer applications proved resilient in a weak IT market. The company's new multi-finger touch screen for PCs also has a chance of playing an important role in the next generation of PC user interfaces.

On the downside, the Fund sold its investment in ING Bank Slaski at a 52% annual loss after wrongly judging that the Polish government would intervene in the currency market. This intervention would have let corporations off the hook on costly forward contracts they held with Polish banks. Japanese cash machine network operator Seven Bank, which operates ATMs at convenience stores, ended the year down 47% as investors worried that deflation expectations and weak consumer spending would reduce cash withdrawals and new consumer finance regulations would constrain high margin lending on ATM cards.

International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments. Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies. Investing in emerging markets may involve greater risks than investing in more developed countries. In addition, concentration of investments in a single region may result in greater volatility.

Columbia Acorn USA ended the fourth quarter of 2009 up 5.99%, outperforming the 3.87% gain of its primary benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index. For the year, the Fund strongly outperformed the Russell 2000 with a 41.49% return vs. a 27.17% annual gain for the index. While we are happy with 2009 performance, we realize that we have still not returned to the Fund's 2008 highs.

Fund telecommunication stocks continued to perform well in the fourth quarter. Both Crown Castle International, an owner of communications towers, and tw telecom, a provider of fiber optic telephone and data services, had solid revenue growth despite the Great Recession. These stocks both were up roughly 25% for the quarter and ended the year up over 100%.

Our holdings of companies in the consumer finance sector were also strong in the quarter as these stocks benefited from the disappearance of many of their competitors. World Acceptance, a provider of smaller personal loans, saw its earnings grow 48% year-over-year through September and announced a decrease in credit losses. Its stock gained 42% in the fourth quarter. Several large banks have completely withdrawn from the business of making used auto loans, and this reduction in supply has contributed to boosted lending spreads for surviving lenders such as AmeriCredit. AmeriCredit enjoyed a 21% gain in the fourth quarter and ended the year up 149%.

Biotech company Human Genome Sciences continued its strong run in the fourth quarter, posting a 62% gain after announcing additional positive results from its lupus drug trials. Its annual gain was a whopping 840%. Switch & Data Facilities, a provider of data center and Internet exchange services, gained 49% in the quarter and 179% for the year on news that it would be acquired by Equinix, a provider of data center operations and infrastructure services. Donaldson, a maker of industrial air filters, gained 23% in the quarter as the company controlled costs and increased its market share.

Top contributors to the Fund's annual performance were energy stocks FMC Technologies, an oil and gas wellhead manufacturer, and Atwood Oceanics, an offshore drilling contractor. Both had annual gains of over 140% as the industry's focus on deep sea drilling fueled growth in their businesses.

On the downside for the quarter, ITT Educational Services, a provider of post-secondary degree programs, fell 13% as student debt defaults showed signs of increasing. Premium denim retailer True Religion Apparel and Illumina, a maker of medical devices, reported disappointing third quarter sales, sending both companies' stocks down roughly 28%. Psychiatric Solutions, a provider of behavioral health services, fell 23% in the quarter and 26% for the year. Its business was hurt by an increase in the percentage of its patients who were uninsured.

Six of the 15 biggest detractors to performance in the Fund for the year were regional banks. MB Financial, Valley National Bancorp, Lakeland Financial, Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Associated Banc-Corp and Pacific Continental were all down between 22% and 46%. Losses on commercial loans held by these banks accelerated throughout the year, particularly on loans tied to new residential developments. Another laggard for the year was pharmaceutical company Cephalon, which was off nearly 20% in the Fund. Several of Cephalon's drug patents will expire soon, making way for competition from generics.

This past year started off with tremendous uncertainty but we were able to take advantage of the volatility in the market to make some opportunistic purchases of beaten down stocks. As we move into a new year, we plan to focus on finding stocks in smaller, niche companies, which we believe have good growth prospects and trade at attractive prices.

Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies.

Columbia Acorn International Select ended the fourth quarter up 4.65% while its primary benchmark, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Between $2 Billion and $10 Billion Index, gained 1.14%. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund had a 31.52% return while its benchmark was up 38.60%. Having positioned the Fund well for the previous downturn, the Fund lagged over the past year as the markets were boosted by an unprecedented amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus. Our focus for the Fund has been on companies with competitive market positions and business models, longer-term growth prospects and solid balance sheets, but these companies were not strong performers during 2009 as investor appetite for risk returned and lower quality stocks rallied. We intend to continue to manage the Fund following the approach that has resulted in good outperformance relative to its benchmark and peers over the past three- and five-year periods.

Naspers was the top dollar contributor to Fund performance for the quarter and for the year. Its stock rose 18% in the fourth quarter and ended the year up 121%. Naspers is a media company with assets in South Africa and other emerging markets that has enjoyed strong earnings growth and has benefited from its stake in the rapidly growing Chinese Internet company, Tencent. Hexagon, a Swedish manufacturer of measurement equipment, gained 23% in the fourth quarter and ended the year up 194%. The company's business fundamentals remained robust throughout the recession due to its strong focus on emerging markets where growth has proven to be more stable.

Canadian potash producer Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan had a 21% gain in the quarter and an annual return of 81% as the market's hope of a bottoming, and subsequently rebounding, potash price fed through to the stock. Ascendas REIT, an industrial property landlord in Singapore, gained 16% in the quarter and ended the year up 75% as the demand for property assets increased with the recovery in Singapore's economy. Canada's Pacific Rubiales Energy, an oil production and exploration company with operating assets in Colombia, gained 19% in the quarter and ended the year up an impressive 680%. The stock has benefited from increasing production and new exploration discoveries in Colombia as well as the rebound in oil prices.

Japanese holdings in the Fund were weak in the fourth quarter as investors flocked to riskier investments and markets. Japan's Seven Bank, Rohto Pharmaceutical, Benesse, Ain Pharmaciez and Kamigumi returned losses ranging from 10% to 20%. Japanese companies were also well represented among the Fund's biggest losers for the annual period, with Jupiter Telecommunications, Nintendo and Seven Bank down between 5% and 30% for the year. We sold out of Nintendo early in the third quarter of 2009. The Japanese economy continues to suffer from a deflationary environment and declining population. While stocks in Japan are beginning to look interesting from a valuation perspective, the growth outlook remains uncertain, and investors reduced their Japanese holdings over the course of the year to focus on companies in other regions. Cephalon, a U.S. pharmaceutical company, was the biggest detractor to the Fund's annual performance, falling m ore than 20% in the Fund. Upcoming patent expirations on several of Cephalon's drugs will make way for competition from generics, and potential health care reform in the United States added to uncertainty about its business. The Fund sold out of its position in Cephalon in the fourth quarter.

Columbia Acorn Select gained 7.79% in the fourth quarter of 2009. This exceeded the 5.56% rise in the Fund's primary benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400 Index. For the year, the Fund outperformed its benchmark by almost 29 percentage points with a 66.17% gain vs. a 37.38% return for the S&P MidCap 400 Index. We are pleased that we could offer our shareholders such strong performance. The S&P 500 Index, which is a large-cap index, trailed mid-caps with a 26.46% annual return.

The Fund's top two dollar winners for the fourth quarter were Canadian Solar, a solar-power equipment manufacturer, and Sanmina-SCI, a provider of electronic manufacturing services, which together added almost 2.6% to the Fund's performance. The two top dollar losers for the quarter were American Commercial Lines, a barge operator and builder, and ITT Educational Services, a provider of post-secondary degree programs, which together cost the Fund 1.6% of performance. For the year, Pacific Rubiales Energy, an oil production and exploration company, Sanmina-SCI and Expedia, a provider of online travel services, contributed about 20% of the Fund's 66% return. On the downside, pharmaceutical company Cephalon, supermarket chain Safeway and Chinese caterer Fu Ji Food & Catering Services together cost the Fund about 3% of its yearly portfolio return. We sold the Fund's position in Cephalon in the first half of the year.

During the fourth quarter, we added three new companies to the Fund's portfolio. The new investments were GLG Life Tech, ChemSpec International and Houston American Energy. GLG Life Tech produces an all natural, zero calorie sweetener made from the stevia plant. ChemSpec is a fluorinated specialty chemicals manufacturer, and Houston American Energy is an oil and gas exploration and production company with its primary operations in Colombia.

During the quarter we sold the Fund's position in Donaldson, a maker of industrial air filters, FMC Technologies, an oil and gas wellhead manufacturer, and retailer The Gap Stores. We sold down or out of the Fund's larger oil service/production companies while investing the dollars back into smaller oil companies, primarily those located in Colombia.

The U.S. economy is continuing to recover as we enter 2010, but unemployment remains high. However, I believe failure to pass a carbon tax and/or health care legislation could benefit both the economy and the market as it would clear away uncertainty, which is restraining job growth within two of this country's largest employing industries: industrials/oil/utilities and health care. I believe employment could also get a boost if the government chooses not to let the sun setting tax cuts, which are estimated to account for approximately 2% of GDP—a significant figure in an economy with over 10% unemployment—expire at the end of 2010. If these scenarios evolve, employment could rebound. Until then, our focus will be to find stocks that we believe can perform well in a slower growth environment.

Risks include stock market fluctuations due to economic and business developments. The Fund also has potentially greater price volatility due to the Fund's concentration in a limited number of stocks of mid-size companies. The Fund is a non-diversified fund and may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly. The Fund may not operate as a non-diversified fund at all times. International investments involve greater potential risks, including less regulation, currency fluctuations, economic instability and political developments.

Portfolio holdings are subject to change periodically and may not be representative of current holdings.

In a Nutshell

Lead Portfolio Manager

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Please visit columbiafunds.com for daily and most recent month-end performance updates.

A "fund of funds" bears its allocable share of the costs and expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests. Such funds are thus subject to two levels of fees and potentially higher expense ratios than would be associated with a fund that invests and trades directly in financial instruments under the direction of a single manager.

Columbia Thermostat Fund ended the fourth quarter up 5.57%, outperforming the 0.20% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund's primary bond benchmark, and underperforming the 6.04% return of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund's primary stock benchmark. For the year, the Fund's 32.29% return topped both indexes. The S&P 500 Index had an annual return of 26.46% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was up 5.93%.

We recently conducted a review of the structure, allocation percentages and underlying funds that comprise Columbia Thermostat Fund and, as a result of this review, we have made some changes to the Fund's structure. These changes went into effect on January 13, 2010, just after the period covered by this report. The specifics of these investment strategy changes are summarized below:

• We implemented a 90% maximum and a 10% minimum for both stock and bond allocations.

• The allocation of the Fund's assets among underlying stock and bond funds set forth in the Stock/Bond Allocation table in the Fund's prospectus has been modified in two additional ways. First, the increment in the S&P 500 Index that triggers a change in allocation has decreased from 60 to 50 points. Second, the range of the S&P 500 Index has been reduced so that allocations become static when the S&P 500 Index is at 1,000 and under (rather than 960 and under) or over 1,750 (rather than over 2,100).

• Consequently, the Fund now has a smaller percentage of assets in stock funds at the current level of the S&P 500 Index.

• The tighter range and smaller percentage in stock funds reflects our opinion that S&P 500 Index earnings and valuations will be lower than we previously expected.

• Believing that many foreign economies are likely to grow faster than the U.S. economy, we increased the stock fund allocation to Columbia Acorn International from 15% to 20%.

• To make room for additional international holdings, we reduced the stock fund allocation to the large-cap blend asset class from 25% to 20%.

• Within the large-cap blend asset class, we added Columbia Contrarian Core Fund as an underlying investment option and will split this allocation with Columbia Large Cap Enhanced Core Fund. Columbia Contrarian Core Fund has a fine track record and currently a greater bias towards growth stocks than Columbia Large Cap Enhanced Core Fund.

Columbia Thermostat Fund
Rebalancing in the Fourth Quarter

October 15, 2009

85% stocks, 15% bonds

The combination of our change in the allocation table and market movement resulted in Columbia Thermostat Fund having 70% in stock funds and 30% in bond funds as of press time on February 19, 2010.

The value of an investment in the Fund is based primarily on the performance of the underlying portfolio funds and the allocation of the Fund's assets among them. An investment in the underlying portfolio funds may present certain risks, including stock market fluctuations that occur in response to economic and business developments; and a greater degree of social, political and economic volatility associated with international investing. Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies. Value stocks may also be subject to specific business risks that have caused the stocks to be out of favor. Lower-rated and medium quality debt securities are more speculative and incur more risk. International investing may involve certain risks, including currency fluctuations, risks associated with possible differences in financial standards and other monetary and political risks. Significant levels of foreign taxes, including potentially confiscatory levels of taxation and withholding taxes, may also apply to some foreign investments. Changes in interest rates and changes in the financial strength of issuers of lower-rated bonds may also affect underlying fund performance. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the investment advisor's decisions regarding asset classes and underlying portfolio funds will not anticipate market trends successfully, resulting in a failure to preserve capital or lower total return. In addition, the Fund may buy and sell shares of the portfolio funds frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional tax liability. This is not an offer of the shares of any other mutual fund mentioned herein.

Expense ratios without and with the contractual waiver, including fees and expenses associated with the Fund's investment in other investment companies, are 1.05% and 0.97%, respectively. Absent the waiver or reimbursement, performance results would have been lower.

Columbia Acorn Family of Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations

Columbia Thermostat Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in shares of other mutual funds. As a "fund of funds," under normal circumstances the Fund allocates at least 95% of its net assets among a selected group of stock and bond mutual funds ("portfolio funds") according to the current level of the S&P 500 Index in relation to predetermined ranges set by the Advisor. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets plus any cash received that day in cash, repurchase agreements, high quality short-term paper and government securities.

Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares. Each Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Z. Effective February 29, 2008, the Funds no longer offer Class B shares (other than through dividend reinvestment).

Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. Class A shares bought without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million up to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

Class B shares are subject to a CDSC if redeemed within six years of purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares automatically eight years after purchase.

Class C shares are offered at net asset value but are subject to a CDSC on redemptions made within one year after purchase.

Class Z shares are offered at net asset value. There are certain restrictions on who may purchase Class Z shares. Generally, Class Z shares of a Fund may be exchanged for shares of another fund distributed by Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. at no additional charge.

Columbia Acorn International and Columbia Acorn International Select impose a 2.00% redemption fee on shares that are redeemed within 60 days or less of purchase. See the discussion of Fund policies regarding redemption fees in the Funds' prospectuses for more information.

The financial highlights for the Fund's Class A, Class B and Class C shares are presented in a separate annual report.

Differences in class expenses may result in payment of different dividend distributions for each class. All of the Funds' share classes have equal rights with respect to voting, subject to Fund or class specific matters.

On September 29, 2009, Bank of America Corporation, the indirect parent company of Columbia Wanger Asset Management, L.P. ("CWAM"), entered into an agreement to sell a portion of the asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("Columbia Management") to Ameriprise Financial, Inc. The transaction ("Transaction") includes a sale of CWAM. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in the spring of 2010.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through February 18, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued, and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

>Security valuation

Securities of the Funds are valued at market value or, if a market quotation for a security is not readily available or is deemed not to be reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the market quotation and the time as of which the security is to be valued, the security is valued at a fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. With respect to Columbia Thermostat Fund, investments in portfolio funds are valued at their net asset values as reported by the portfolio funds. A security traded on a securities exchange or in an over-the-counter market in which transaction prices are reported is valued at the last sales price at the time of valuation. A security traded principally on NASDAQ is valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ . A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued

Columbia Acorn Family of Funds

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds have retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be valued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including management's own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Examples of the types of securities in which the Funds would typically invest and how they are classified within this hierarchy are as follows. Typical Level 1 securities include exchange traded domestic equities, mutual funds whose NAVs are published each day and exchange traded foreign equities that are not statistically fair valued. Typical Level 2 securities include exchange traded foreign equities that are statistically fair valued, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and short-term investments valued at amortized cost. Additionally, securities fair valued by the Fund's Valuation Committee that rely on significant observable inputs are also included in level 2. Typical Level 3 securities include any security fair valued by the Funds' Valuation Committee that relies on significant unobservable inputs.

>Repurchase agreements

Each Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of underlying securities collateralizing repurchase agreements. The counterparty is required to maintain collateral that is at all times at least equal to the repurchase price including interest. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

>Foreign currency translations

Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the New York spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate.

>Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Columbia Acorn International may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to seek to minimize the risk from adverse changes in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. A forward foreign currency exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued at the interpolated forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and any market gain or loss, arising from the difference between the original value and the current value of such contract, is included as a component of unrealized gain/(loss) on the Statements of Operations. Open forward foreign currency exchange contracts, if any, are disclosed in the Notes to the Statement of Investments. As forward foreign currency exchange contracts are closed the resulting gain or loss, arising from the difference between the original value of the contract and the closing value of such contract, is included as a component of realized gain/(loss) on the Statements of Operations.

A forward foreign currency exchange contract would limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a particular currency; however, it also would limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase instead of decrease. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to counterparty risks if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts. The counterparty risk exposure is, therefore, closely monitored and contracts are only executed with high credit quality financial institutions.

A Fund may use forward foreign currency exchange contracts to buy or sell a foreign currency when the Advisor believes it has exposure to a foreign currency which may suffer or enjoy a movement against another foreign currency to which the Fund has exposure. A Fund will not attempt to hedge all of its foreign portfolio positions.

For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 5.

>Securities lending

Each Fund may lend securities up to one-third of the value of its total assets to certain approved brokers, dealers and other financial institutions to earn additional income. In lending its securities, the Fund retains the benefits of owning the securities, including receipt of dividends or interest generated by the security. Each Fund also receives a fee for the loan. Each Fund has the ability to recall the loans at any time and could do so in order to vote proxies or to sell the loaned securities. Each loan is collateralized by cash that exceeds the value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined daily at the close of business of each Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to each Fund on the next business day. Each Fund has elected to invest the cash collateral in the Dreyfus Government Cash Management Fund, and the income earned is paid to each Fund, net of any fees remitted to Goldman Sachs Agency Lending as the lending agent and net of any borrower rebates. The Funds' advisor, CWAM, does not retain any fees earned by the lending program. Generally, in the event of borrower default, a Fund has the right to use the collateral to offset any losses incurred. In the event a Fund is delayed or prevented from exercising its right to dispose of the collateral, there may be a potential loss to a Fund. Some of these losses may be indemnified by the lending agent. Each Fund bears the risk of loss with respect to the investment of collateral.

The net lending income earned in 2009 by each Fund is included in the Statements of Operations.

>Security transactions and investment income

Security transactions, investment income and shareholder fund transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income and realized gain distributions from other funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as the information is available to the Funds. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts on debt obligations when required for federal income tax purposes. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Awards, if any, from class action litigation related to securities owned may be recorded as a reduction of cost of those securities. If the applicable securities are no longer owned, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

The Funds estimate the tax character of distributions from real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the related investments. If the applicable securities are no longer owned, any distributions received in excess of income are recorded as realized gains.

>Restricted Securities

Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Board of Trustees.

>Fund share valuation

Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuing basis at net asset value, subject to any applicable sales charge. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Generally, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gain/(losses) of a Fund are allocated to each class proportionately on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. The Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees, if any, and transfer agency fees are charged to each specific class as expenses are incurred. Redemption fees are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

>Custody fees/credits

Custody fees are reduced based on each Fund's cash balances maintained with the custodian. The amount is disclosed as a reduction of total expenses on the Statements of Operations.

>Federal income taxes

Columbia Acorn Family of Funds

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

taxable income, as well as any net realized gain on sales of portfolio fund shares and any distributions of net realized gains received by the Fund from its portfolio funds, reportable for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

>Foreign capital gains taxes

Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the fund level, at rates ranging from approximately 10% to 15%. The Funds accrue for such foreign taxes on net realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.

>Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

>Indemnification

In the normal course of business, the Trust on behalf of the Funds enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnities. A Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund. Also, under the Trust's organizational documents, the trustees and officers of the Trust are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of their duties to the Trust. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be minimal.

3. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Reclassifications are made to each Fund's capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

For the year ended December 31, 2009, permanent book and tax basis differences resulting primarily from differing treatments for proceeds from litigation settlements, net operating losses, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company ("PFIC") adjustments and foreign capital gains tax adjustments were identified and reclassified among the components of each Fund's net assets as follows:

	Undistributed/ (Overdistributed) or (Accumulated) Net Investment Income (Loss)			Accumulated Net Realized Gain/(Loss)			Paid-in Capital

*Represents less than $500.

Net investment income and net realized gains/(losses), as disclosed on the Statements of Operations, and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was as follows:

*For tax purposes short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions.

As of December 31, 2009, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains		Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)*
(in thousands)
Columbia Acorn Fund	$	13,908	$	—	$	3,885,370

Columbia Acorn International Select		6,032		—		77,602
Columbia Acorn Select		—		—		222,742
Columbia Thermostat Fund		1,276		—		(1,424	)

*The differences between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales and PFIC adjustments.

The following capital loss carryforwards, determined as of December 31, 2009, may be available to reduce taxable income

arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:

*Remains from Columbia Acorn USA's merger with Stein Roe Small Company Growth Fund on 7/26/2002. Utilization of Stein Roe Small Company Growth Fund's losses could be subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.

Under current tax rules, certain currency and capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of December 31, 2009, post-October currency and capital losses attributed to security transactions were deferred to January 1, 2010 as follows:

Management is required to determine whether a tax position of the Funds is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit to be recognized by the Funds is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. However, management's conclusions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal ye ars remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

CWAM has delegated to Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, responsibility to provide certain sub-administrative services to the Funds.

Columbia Management Distributors, Inc. ("CMDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, is the Funds' principal underwriter.

Each Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 (distribution and service) plan which requires it to pay CMDI a monthly service fee equal to 0.25% annually of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B and Class C shares and a monthly distribution fee equal to 0.50% and 0.75%, annually, of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares, respectively. CMDI receives no compensation with respect to Class Z shares.

Columbia Management Services, Inc. (the "Transfer Agent"), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of BOA, provides shareholder services to the Funds. For such services, each Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly fee at the annual rate of $17.00 per account. The Transfer Agent also receives reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses and sub-transfer agency expenses.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers of CWAM. The Trust makes no direct payments to its officers and trustees who are affiliated with CWAM.

The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, pay their pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Office of the Chief Compliance Officer. Those expenses are disclosed separately as "Chief compliance officer expenses" in the Statements of Operations.

The Trust offers a deferred compensation plan for its independent trustees. Under that plan, a trustee may elect to defer all or a portion of his or her compensation. Amounts deferred are retained by the Trust and may represent an unfunded obligation of the Trust. The value of amounts deferred is determined by reference to the change in value of Class Z shares of one or more series of the Trust or a money market fund specified by the trustee. Benefits under the deferred compensation plan are payable when the trustee ceases to be a member of the Board of Trustees.

An affiliated person of a Fund may include any company in which a Fund owns five percent or more of its outstanding voting shares. On December 31, 2009, Columbia Acorn Fund, Columbia Acorn International, Columbia Acorn USA and Columbia Acorn Select each held five percent or more of the outstanding voting securities of one or more companies.

Details of investments in those affiliated companies are presented on pages 29, 30, 39, 50 and 61, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Funds engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment advisor (or affiliated investment advisors), common directors/trustees, and/or common officers. Those transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and were as follows:

5. Objectives and Strategies for Investing in Derivative Instruments

Columbia Acorn International uses derivatives instruments including forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to meet its investment objectives. The Fund employs strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease or change the level of exposure to market risk factors. The achievement of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of various risk factors, and if the strategies for the use of derivatives do not work as intended, the Fund may not achieve its investment objectives.

In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund is exposed to the following market risk:

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk: Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign-currency-denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

The following notes provide more detailed information about the derivative type held by the Columbia Acorn International:

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

• The Fund entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to shift its investment exposure from one currency to another.

• The Fund used forward foreign currency exchange contracts to shift its U.S. dollar exposure in order to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies relative to its benchmark and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio relative to its benchmark.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for another at a future date at a specified price. These contracts are used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Fund may utilize forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with the settlement of purchases and sales of securities. The Fund may also enter into these contracts to reduce the exposure to adverse price movements in certain other foreign-currency-denominated assets. Contracts to buy are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to reduce the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued daily at the current exchange rate of the underlying currency, resulting in unrealized gains (losses) which become realized at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are closed or mature. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) arising from such transactions are included in net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions. The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund's portfolio securities. While the maximum potential loss from such contracts is the aggregate face value in U.S. dollars at the time the contract was opened, exposure is typically limited to the change in value of the contract (in U.S. dollars) over the period it remains open. The Fund could also be exposed to risk that counterparties of the contracts may be unable to fulfill the terms of the contracts.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Columbia Acorn International entered into 122 forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

The following table is a summary of the value of the Columbia Acorn International's derivative instruments as of December 31, 2009.

6. Borrowing Arrangements

The Trust participated in a $150 million credit facility, along with another Trust managed by CWAM, which was entered into to facilitate portfolio liquidity. Under the facility, interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the higher of Federal Funds Rate or Overnight LIBOR plus 0.75%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum of the unutilized line of credit was accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their relative net assets. The commitment fee is included in "Other expenses" in the Statements of Operations. No amounts were borrowed by any Fund under this facility for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Trust enters into this line of credit for one year durations. The Trust has secured the line of credit for the entire year of 2010.

9. Regulatory Settlements with Third Parties

During the year ended December 31, 2009, Columbia Acorn Fund, Columbia Acorn International, Columbia Acorn USA and Columbia Acorn International Select received payments totaling $39,819, $1,210,287, $4,593 and $265,461, respectively, representing distributions from a fair fund established in connection with a regulatory settlement between the Securities and Exchange Commission and a third party broker dealer relating to alleged market timing and late trading in mutual funds, including the Funds. The payments have been included in "Increase from regulatory settlements" on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

10. Legal Proceedings

The Trust, CWAM and the Trustees of the Trust (collectively, the "Columbia defendants") are named as defendants in class and derivative complaints that have been consolidated in a Multi-District Action (the "MDL Action") in the federal district court of Maryland. These lawsuits contend that defendants permitted certain investors to market time their trades in certain Columbia Acorn Funds. The MDL Action is ongoing. However, all claims against the Trust and the independent trustees of the Trust have been dismissed.

evaluate daily whether a significant event affecting the value of the Fund's securities had occurred after foreign markets had closed but before the calculation of the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"); (b) failing to implement the Fund's portfolio valuation and share pricing policies and procedures; and (c) failing to know and implement applicable rules and regulations concerning the calculation of NAV (the "Fair Valuation Lawsuit"). The Seventh Circuit ruled that the plaintiffs' state law claims were preempted under federal law resulting in the dismissal of plaintiffs' complaint. Plaintiffs appealed the Seventh Circuit's ruling to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reversed the Seventh Circuit's ruling on jurisdictional grounds and the case was ultimately remanded to the state court.

On March 21, 2005, a class action complaint was filed against the Trust and CWAM seeking to rescind the CDSC assessed upon redemption of Class B shares of Columbia Acorn Funds due to the alleged market timing of the Columbia Acorn Funds (the "CDSC Lawsuit"). In addition to the rescission of sales charges, plaintiffs seek recovery of actual damages, attorneys' fees and costs. The case had been transferred to the MDL Action in the federal district court of Maryland.

On September 14, 2007, the plaintiffs and the Columbia defendants named in the MDL Action, including the Columbia Funds, entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to all Columbia-related claims in the MDL Action described above, including the CDSC and Fair Valuation Lawsuits. The settlement is subject to court approval.

Columbia Acorn Trust and CWAM intend to defend these suits vigorously. CWAM believes that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to the Funds.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Columbia Acorn Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Columbia Acorn Fund, Columbia Acorn International, Columbia Acorn USA, Columbia Acorn International Select, Columbia Acorn Select and Columbia Thermostat Fund (each a series of the Columbia Acorn Trust, hereinafter referred to as the "Funds") at December 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial s tatements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Squirrel Chatter II: Skill and Luck

Research has proven that it is extremely difficult for institutional investors to consistently outperform the stock market. The performance distribution among mutual funds usually looks like a bell shaped curve, with some funds outperforming, many underperforming, and the average fund underperforming its benchmark roughly by its expense ratio. I'm happy to say that the Columbia Acorn Funds have historically outperformed their primary benchmark for most time periods, as you can see on Page 2. But researchers note that there are thousands of mutual funds, and purely random outcomes will lead some funds to outperform. This raises an interesting debate: Do funds that outperform do so due to skill, or due to luck?

Instead, Wiseman concluded that people take specific actions that enable them to be lucky and succeed. He provides four principles that induce luck:

1) Maximize your chance opportunities

2) Listen to your lucky hunches

3) Expect good fortune

4) Turn bad luck into good

Though Wiseman does not explicitly mention investing, each principle can be applied in pursuit of successful money management.

another company's opportunity, and that the best choice may be to invest in the latter company.

Understanding Your Expenses

As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption or exchange fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include investment advisory fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Columbia Acorn Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in the Class A, B and C shares of the Columbia Acorn Funds for the last six months. The information in the following table is based on an initial investment of $1,000, which is invested at the beginning of the reporting period and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different results. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using each Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes that the return each year is 5% before expenses and then applies each Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the reporting period. See "Compare With Other Funds" for details on using the hypothetical data.

Columbia Thermostat Fund's expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred by the Fund from the underlying portfolio funds in which it invests.

*For the six months ended December 31, 2009.

**Had the investment advisor and/or any of its affiliates not waived fees or reimbursed a portion of expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Compare With Other Funds

Estimating Your Actual Expenses

To estimate the expenses that you actually paid over the period, first you will need your account balance at the end of the period:

• For shareholders who receive their account statements from their brokerage firm, contact your brokerage firm to obtain your account balance.

1. Divide your ending account balance by $1,000. For example, if an account balance was $8,600 at the end of the period, the result would be 8.6.

Columbia Acorn International returned 4.25% (Class A shares, without sales charge) in the fourth quarter of 2009, 0.79% ahead of its primary benchmark, the S&P Global Ex-U.S. Between $500 Million and $5 Billion Index. The Fund's annual total return of 50.40% trailed its benchmark by 5.09%. Across most markets, share price performance was negatively correlated with size as smaller-capitalized stocks outperformed their larger brethren. The large-cap MSCI EAFE Index returned a relatively modest 31.78%.

We manage Columbia Acorn International with the intention of holding Fund investments for three- to five-years, which is relatively long among international small-cap managers. We believe Fund performance should be considered in this context. A glance at the performance table on Page 2 shows that the Fund's three- and five-year average annual returns were -1.77% and 9.08%, respectively. Both results remain ahead of Fund benchmarks and peer averages.

For the year, the Fund strongly outperformed the Russell 2000 with a 41.07% return vs. a 27.17% annual gain for the index. While we are happy with 2009 performance, we realize that we have still not returned to the Fund's 2008 highs.

Stocks of small- and mid-cap companies pose special risks, including possible illiquidity and greater price volatility than stocks of larger, more established companies.

Columbia Acorn International Select ended the fourth quarter up 4.51% (Class A shares, without sales charge) while its primary benchmark, the S&P Developed Ex-U.S. Between $2 Billion and $10 Billion Index, gained 1.14%. For the year ended December 31, 2009, the Fund had a 31.01% return while its benchmark was up 38.60%. Having positioned the Fund well for the previous downturn, the Fund lagged over the past year as the markets were boosted by an unprecedented amount of monetary and fiscal stimulus. Our focus for the Fund has been on companies with competitive market positions and business models, longer-term growth prospects and solid balance sheets, but these companies were not strong performers during 2009 as investor appetite for risk returned and lower quality stocks rallied. We intend to continue to manage the Fund following the approach that has resulted in good outperformance relative to its benchmark and peers over t he past three- and five-year periods.

Columbia Thermostat Fund ended the fourth quarter up 5.62% (Class A shares, without sales charge), outperforming the 0.20% gain of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund's primary bond benchmark, and underperforming the 6.04% return of the S&P 500 Index, the Fund's primary stock benchmark. For the year, the Fund's 31.98% return topped both indexes. The S&P 500 Index had an annual return of 26.46% and the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was up 5.93%.

• We implemented a 90% maximum and a 10% minimum for both stock and bond allocations.

• Consequently, the Fund now has a smaller percentage of assets in stock funds at the current level of the S&P 500 Index.

• The tighter range and smaller percentage in stock funds reflects our opinion that S&P 500 Index earnings and valuations will be lower than we previously expected.

• Believing that many foreign economies are likely to grow faster than the U.S. economy, we increased the stock fund allocation to Columbia Acorn International from 15% to 20%.

• To make room for additional international holdings, we reduced the stock fund allocation to the large-cap blend asset class from 25% to 20%.

Pretax and After-tax Average Annual Total Returns (Based on Class A Share Returns)

through December 31, 2009

*Inception 3/3/03*		1 year	5 years	Life of fund
Returns before taxes	NAV POP	31.98% 24.40	2.87% 1.66	6.56% 5.64
Returns after taxes on distributions	NAV POP	31.98 24.39	1.28 0.09	5.20 4.30

S&P 500 Index (pretax)*		26.46	0.42	6.30
Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (pretax)*		5.93	4.97	4.65
Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Index (pretax)		29.17	3.50	7.54

All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions.

*The Fund's primary stock and bond benchmarks, respectively.

After-tax returns are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates, and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares reflect the additional tax impact of long-term gains or losses realized when Fund shares are sold. The returns are taxed at the maximum rate and assume shares were purchased at the beginning of the period. Actual after-tax returns depend on the investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only; after-tax returns for other share classes will vary. Indexes do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Investment returns and principal value may fluctuate, resulting in a gain or loss on sale.

The Fund's annual operating expense ratio, as stated in the current prospectus, reflects a contractual expense waiver or reimbursement that expires April 30, 2010. Class A expense ratios without and with the contractual waiver, including fees and expenses associated with the Fund's investment in other investment companies, are 1.40% and 1.22%, respectively. Absent the waiver or reimbursement, performance results would have been lower.

The Growth of a $10,000 Investment in Columbia Thermostat Fund (Class A)

March 3, 2003 through December 31, 2009

Illustration is based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment from inception in Class A shares of the Fund, which includes a 5.75% maximum initial sales charge. The indexes are unmanaged (although the funds that comprise the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Funds Index are managed) and returns for both the indexes and the Fund include reinvested dividends and capital gains. Although the indexes are provided for use in assessing the Fund's performance, the Fund's holdings may differ significantly from those in the index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The graph does not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on a sale of Fund shares.

Total Net Assets of the Fund: $138.6 million

Columbia Acorn Family of Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Nature of Operations

Columbia Acorn Fund, Columbia Acorn International, Columbia Acorn USA, Columbia Acorn International Select, Columbia Acorn Select and Columbia Thermostat Fund (the "Funds") are each a series of Columbia Acorn Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The investment objective of each Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Columbia Thermostat Fund pursues its investment objective by investing in shares of other mutual funds. As a "fund of funds," under normal circumstances the Fund allocates at least 95% of its net assets among a selected group of stock and bond mutual funds ("portfolio funds") according to the current level of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index in relation to predetermined ranges set by the Advisor. The Fund may invest up to 5% of its net assets plus any cash received that day in cash, repurchase agreements, high quality short-term paper and government securities.

Class B shares are subject to a CDSC if redeemed within six years of purchase. Class B shares will convert to Class A shares automatically eight years after purchase.

Class C shares are offered at net asset value but are subject to a CDSC on redemptions made within one year after purchase.

The financial highlights for the Fund's Class Z shares are presented in a separate annual report.

Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated pro rata on the basis of the relative net assets of all classes, except that each class bears certain expenses specific to that class such as distribution services, transfer agency, and certain other class specific expenses. Differences in class expenses may result in payment of different dividend distributions for each class. All of the Funds' share classes have equal rights with respect to voting, subject to Fund or class specific matters.

On September 29, 2009, Bank of America Corporation, the indirect parent company of Columbia Wanger Asset Management, L.P. ("CWAM") entered into an agreement to sell a portion of the asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC ("Columbia Management") to Ameriprise Financial, Inc. The transaction ("Transaction") includes a sale of CWAM. The Transaction is subject to certain approvals and other conditions to closing, and is currently expected to close in the spring of 2010.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

>Security valuation

NASDAQ official closing price. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds are valued at their closing net asset value as reported to NASDAQ. A security for which there is no reported sale on the valuation date is valued at the latest bid quotation. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. A security for which a market quotation is not readily available and any other assets are valued at its fair value determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds have retained an independent statistical fair value pricing service that employs a systematic methodology to assist in the fair valuation process for securities principally traded in a foreign market in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time as of which the securities are to be v alued. If a security is valued at fair value, that value may be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

• Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk and others)

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including management's own assumptions in determining the value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

>Repurchase agreements

>Foreign currency translations

>Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

to meet the terms of their contracts. The counterparty risk exposure is, therefore, closely monitored and contracts are only executed with high credit quality financial institutions.

For additional information on derivative instruments, please see Note 5.

>Securities lending

The net lending income earned in 2009 by each Fund is included in the Statements of Operations.

>Security transactions and investment income

>Restricted securities

>Fund share valuation

Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuing basis at net asset value, subject to any applicable sales charge. Net asset value per share is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Generally, income, expenses and realized and unrealized gain/(losses) of a Fund are allocated to each class proportionately on a daily basis for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class. The Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agency fees are charged to each specific class as expenses are incurred. Redemption fees are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

>Custody fees/credits

Custody fees are reduced based on each Fund's cash balances maintained with the custodian. The amount is disclosed as a reduction of total expenses on the Statements of Operations.

>Federal income taxes

The Funds have complied with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to regulated investment companies and, in the manner provided therein, distribute all their taxable income, as well as any net realized gain on sales of investments and foreign currency transactions reportable for federal income tax purposes. Columbia Thermostat Fund distributes all of its taxable income, as well as any net realized gain on sales of portfolio fund shares and any distributions of net realized gains received by the Fund from its portfolio funds, reportable for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the Funds paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

>Foreign capital gains taxes

>Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

>Indemnification

Columbia Acorn Family of Funds

Notes to Financial Statement, continued

However, all claims against the Trust and the independent trustees of the Trust have been dismissed.

The Trust and CWAM are also defendants in a class action lawsuit that alleges, in summary, that the Trust and CWAM exposed shareholders of Columbia Acorn International Fund to trading by market timers by allegedly: (a) failing to properly evaluate daily whether a significant event affecting the value of the Fund's securities had occurred after foreign markets had closed but before the calculation of the Fund's net asset value ("NAV"); (b) failing to implement the Fund's portfolio valuation and share pricing policies and procedures; and (c) failing to know and implement applicable rules and regulations concerning the calculation of NAV (the "Fair Valuation Lawsuit"). The Seventh Circuit ruled that the plaintiffs' state law claims were preempted under federal law resulting in the dismissal of plaintiffs' complaint. Plaintiffs appealed the Seventh Circuit's ruling to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court reversed the S eventh Circuit's ruling on jurisdictional grounds and the case was ultimately remanded to the state court.

Columbia Acorn Trust and CWAM intend to defend these suits vigorously.

CWAM believes that the lawsuits are not likely to materially affect its ability to provide investment management services to the Funds.

(d) All Other Fees. Aggregate All Other Fees billed by the principal accountant to the registrant for professional services rendered during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are as follows:

In both fiscal years 2009 and 2008, All Other Fees consist of professional services rendered for internal control reviews of the registrant’s transfer agent.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The policy of the registrant’s Audit Committee is to specifically pre-approve (i) all audit and non-audit (including audit related, tax and all other) services provided by the registrant’s independent auditor to the registrant and individual funds (collectively “Fund Services”) and (ii) all non-audit services provided by the registrant’s independent auditor to the funds’ adviser or a control affiliate of the adviser, that relate directly to the funds’ operations and financial reporting (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”). A “control affiliate” is an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the funds, and the term “adviser” is deemed to exclude any unaffiliated sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser.

If such Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services are required during the period between the Audit Committee’s regularly scheduled meetings, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has the authority to pre-approve the service, with reporting to the full Audit Committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting.

The Audit Committee will waive pre-approval of Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services provided that the requirements under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X are met.

(e)(2) The percentage of services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) of this Item approved pursuant to the “de minimis” exception under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X during both fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was zero.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are approximately as follows:

2009		2008
$	119,500	$	218,500

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

There have not been any material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of directors, since those procedures were last disclosed in response to requirements of Item 407(c)(2)(iv) of Regulation S-K (as required by Item 22(b)(15) of Schedule 14A) or this Item.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

(a) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officers, based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, have concluded that such controls and procedures are adequately designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in Form N-CSR is accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) There was no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
