COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 5
Manager Commentary
Dear Shareholder,
Columbia Diversified Bond Fund (the Fund) Class A shares (excluding sales charge) rose 10.40% for the 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2010. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the unmanaged Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (Barclays Capital Index), which gained 9.18%. The Fund underperformed its peer group, represented by the Lipper Intermediate Investment-Grade Debt Funds Index, which returned 12.70% during the same period.
Significant performance factors
The 12 months ended Aug. 31, 2010 was largely a tale of two distinct periods. Through late-March 2010, interest rates rose and the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened, meaning long-term yields rose more than short-term yields, as a slowly improving economic backdrop led to increased investor appetite for risk. The U.S. economy grew 1.6%, 5.0%

and 3.7% (annualized) for the third quarter of 2009, fourth quarter of 2009 and first quarter of 2010, respectively. Helping to spur the economy during these months were a number of government fiscal and monetary stimulus programs. These programs helped ignite pent-up consumer demand which in turn drove corporations to build up inventories from historically low levels. The net impact on the bond market was outperformance of lower quality fixed income sectors relative to higher quality fixed income sectors for the first nine months of the period.
During the remaining months of the annual period, interest rates declined dramatically and the U.S. Treasury yield curve flattened, meaning the difference in yields between long-term securities and short-term securities narrowed. A classic flight to quality took hold on the back of concerns regarding sovereign debt crises in peripheral Europe, financial regulatory reform legislation, and loss of stimulus-driven momentum in domestic economic data. Evidence of the economy being in a soft patch included second quarter 2010 GDP revised down from a 2.4% advance estimate to just 1.6% (annualized), a significant decline from the prior two quarters.

Ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself. Whenever possible, the Standard and Poor’s rating is used to determine the credit quality of a security. Standard and Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of corporate bonds, with 15 categories, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories. If Standard and Poor’s doesn’t rate a security, then Moody’s rating is used. Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (formerly known as RiverSource Investments, LLC) (the Investment Manager) rates a security using an internal rating system when Moody’s doesn’t provide a rating. Ratings for 0.2% of the bond portfolio assets were determined through internal analysis.
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 7
Manager Commentary (continued)
As investor appetite for risk waned dramatically during these months, higher quality fixed income sectors outperformed lower quality fixed income sectors. U.S. Treasuries rallied particularly strongly, with interest rates moving lower across the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, pushing up bond prices. By year end, the ten-year U.S. Treasury declined 89 basis points overall to yield 2.47%. Remember, there is usually an inverse relationship between bond prices and yield movements, so that bond prices rise when yields decline and vice versa.
Still, for the annual period as a whole, most non-Treasury sectors outpaced U.S. Treasuries, with commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), high yield corporate bonds and high yield bank loans performing best within the fixed income sector. Emerging market debt, investment grade corporate bonds and asset-backed securities also fared very well. Relative to global bonds and agency securities, however, U.S. Treasury debt outperformed during the strong final quarter of the period.
With inflation low and unemployment hovering near 10% virtually throughout, the Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) maintained status quo during the annual period in its resolve to keep the targeted federal funds rate in the 0% to 0.25% range for an extended period. Given the backdrop of disappointing economic data toward the end of the annual period, the Fed made the decision at its August meeting to maintain the overall size of its balance sheet by reinvesting principal and interest payments it receives from its $2 trillion portfolio of Treasury securities and mortgage-backed securities. The goal of this program is to keep overall interest rates low by purchasing bonds in the open market in order to stimulate the economic recovery.
Given the outperformance of non-Treasury sectors for the annual period as a whole, sector allocation within the Fund was the primary contributor to its performance relative to the Barclays Capital Index. Particularly boosting results was the Fund’s maintaining significant allocations to CMBS and investment grade corporate bonds and exposures to high yield corporate bonds and emerging market debt throughout the annual period.
Security selection also contributed positively to the Fund’s results. Issue selection within the mortgage-backed securities sector especially added value. Issue selection within investment grade corporate bonds buoyed
8 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Fund results as well. Only partially offsetting these contributors was the modestly detracting effect of issue selection within CMBS.
Duration positioning detracted from the Fund’s results. The Fund had a shorter duration than the Barclays Capital Index in anticipation of higher rates, but such positioning hurt as interest rates moved lower during the annual period overall. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.
Yield curve positioning within the Fund had a rather neutral impact on its results during the annual period overall. The Fund was positioned with a yield curve flattening bias, which hurt through March 2010 when, as mentioned earlier, the yield curve steepened. However, such positioning subsequently proved effective, as the yield curve then did in fact flatten during the last five months of the annual period.
Changes to the Fund’s portfolio
During the annual period, we incrementally added to the Fund’s allocations the more credit-sensitive non-Treasury fixed income sectors, including investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds, CMBS and emerging market debt, on an opportunistic basis. Beginning in late March, we reduced the Fund’s position in agency mortgage-backed securities relative to the Barclays Capital Index, given the all-time tight valuations these securities then had versus U.S. Treasury securities and given that the Fed ended its purchase program of mortgage-backed securities as of March 31, 2010. Within the mortgage-backed securities sector, we maintained the Fund’s defensive stance, with a bias to higher coupon mortgages, through the second calendar quarter.
Given the outperformance of non-Treasury sectors for the annual period as a whole, sector allocation within the Fund was the primary contributor to its performance relative to the Barclays Capital Index.
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 9
Manager Commentary (continued)
Toward the end of the annual period, we took a more “barbell” approach to coupon positioning, with greater exposure to lower coupons and higher coupons and a lesser exposure to mid-range coupons due to their callability. Among non-agency mortgage-backed securities, the Fund was primarily positioned in shorter-maturity bonds that, in our view, provide attractive yields versus Treasuries but that also provide some protection against future uncertainty in housing and further government intervention, such as foreclosure moratoriums and additional large-scale modification programs. We also reduced the Fund’s allocations to U.S. Treasuries and government-related debt during the annual period. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate for the 12-month period, including mortgage dollar rolls, was 420%.*
Our future strategy
While periods of deep economic hardship are often followed by sharp rebounds in growth, research indicates that recoveries from recessions brought on by financial crisis are different. As businesses and households seek to increase savings and reduce debt levels, recoveries from financial crisis tend to be relatively sluggish by comparison. Coming into 2010, it appears that investor expectations may have been a bit too optimistic given the slowdown we have seen beginning in April. However, while the economic recovery may be mild by historical standards, we still expect the economy to expand at a moderate pace over the next 12 months. We believe the combination of accommodative monetary policy and strong corporate balance sheets will allow businesses to perform well, while consumer spending should gradually return as the labor market improves. The Fund can invest in three balance sheets — government, corporate and consumer. Given the slow growth, low inflation environment we anticipate for the economy, we presently believe the corporate balance sheet, generically, is the best positioned of the three. We expect consumer balance sheets to continue to improve over time but slowly, while the government balance sheet appears the most strained.
Going forward, then, as reflected by the Fund’s significant weighting to corporate bonds, it is in this segment of the fixed income market where we currently feel the best potential value for our shareholders exists. We believe value particularly exists in investment grade corporate bonds where fundamentals are strong and corporate cash positions are high. An
10 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
abundance of cash on hand leads to low net debt positions and increased financial flexibility. We also currently intend to maintain the Fund’s significant exposure to CMBS, which we believe offer good value relative to other investment grade assets. We expect an improving economy to bode well for CMBS and fundamental trends should continue to improve. We further intend to maintain a Fund position in high yield corporate bonds where the differential in yields between these securities and duration-equivalent U.S. Treasuries remains above long-term averages and the default rate remains low. Indeed, JP Morgan is forecasting a 2% default rate within this segment of the fixed income market for 2011, which trends well below its long-term historical averages of 4.14% over the past ten years and of 4.30% over the past 25 years. Further, access to capital continues, as 2010 is anticipated to be a record year for new issuance of high yield corporate bonds, surpassing the record year of 2009, with $180 billion of new issues. This trend continues to push out the refinancing risk in the high yield corporate bond market.
We expect to maintain a modest exposure to U.S. Treasuries compared to the Barclays Capital Index. At the end of August, we believed Treasury yields were pricing in a more bearish scenario than we anticipate, and we expect Treasury yields to rise as risk aversion fades and the economy experiences slow but positive growth, avoiding a double-dip recession. Given this view as well as our belief that the Fed may be on hold until mid-to-late 2011, we currently intend to maintain the Fund’s duration below that of the Barclays Capital Index. We also expect to maintain the Fund’s yield curve flattening bias. All that said, we believe that security selection will remain key to Fund performance in the months ahead, and so, as always, we will maintain our disciplined focus on individual security selection. In today’s market, our goal is to maintain an attractive yield profile with a focus on higher quality assets.

* | A significant portion of the turnover was the result of “roll” transactions in the liquid derivatives and Treasury securities. In the derivative transactions, positions in expiring contracts are liquidated and simultaneously replaced with positions in new contracts with equivalent characteristics. In the Treasury transactions, existing holdings are sold to purchase newly issued securities with slightly longer maturity dates. Although these transactions affect the turnover rate of the portfolio, they do not change the risk exposure or result in material transactions costs. The remaining turnover resulted from strategic reallocations and relative value trading. After transaction costs, we expect this activity to enhance the returns on the overall Fund. |

Fund Expenses Example
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (i) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (ii) ongoing costs, which may include management fees; distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees; and other Fund fees and expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the ongoing expenses of any funds in which the Fund invests (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and nonaffiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds). The Fund’s indirect expense from investing in the acquired funds is based on the Fund’s pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by acquired funds using the expense ratio of each of the acquired funds as of the acquired fund’s most recent shareholder report.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the six months ended Aug. 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses

You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses paid during the period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for each class and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return for the class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(c) | | Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (formerly RiverSource Investments, LLC) (the Investment Manager) and its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive certain fees and to absorb certain expenses until Oct. 31, 2011, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board, such that net expenses (excluding fees and expenses of acquired funds), will not exceed 0.84% for Class A, 1.59% for Class B, 1.59% for Class C, 0.49% for Class I, 1.09% for Class R2, 1.04% for Class R3, 0.79% for Class R4, 0.54% for Class R5 and 0.84% for Class W. Any amounts waived will not be reimbursed by the Fund. This change is effective Nov. 1, 2010. Had this change been in place for the entire six month period ended Aug. 31, 2010, the actual expenses paid would have been $4.41 for Class A, $8.32 for Class B, $8.32 for Class C, $5.71 for Class R2 and $4.41 for Class W; the hypothetical expenses paid would have been $4.33 for Class A, $8.17 for Class B, $8.17 for Class C, $5.61 for Class R2 and $4.33 for Class W. |

(a) | | Securities are valued by using policies described in Note 2 to the financial statements. |
|
(b) | | Non-income producing. For long-term debt securities, item identified is in default as to payment of interest and/or principal. |
|
(c) | | Foreign security values are stated in U.S. dollars. For debt securities, principal amounts are denominated in U.S. dollar currency unless otherwise noted. At Aug. 31, 2010, the value of foreign securities, excluding short-term securities, represented 8.56% of net assets. |
|
(d) | | Represents a security sold under Rule 144A, which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This security may be determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. This security may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At Aug. 31, 2010, the value of these securities amounted to $1,132,470,897 or 22.39% of net assets. |
|
(e) | | This is a variable rate security that entitles holders to receive only interest payments. Interest is paid annually. The interest payment is based on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) level of the previous year for the respective country. To the extent that the previous year’s GDP exceeds the ’base case GDP’, an interest payment is made equal to 0.012225 of the difference. |
|
(f) | | Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property, and include single- and multi-class pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, or by private issuers, generally originators and investors in mortgage loans, including savings associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers and special purpose entities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates. |
|
(g) | | At Aug. 31, 2010, the cost of securities purchased, including interest purchased, on a when-issued and/or other forward-commitment basis was $837,894,193. See Note 2 to the financial statements. |

(i) | | Interest only represents securities that entitle holders to receive only interest payments on the underlying mortgages. The yield to maturity of an interest only security is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets. A rapid (slow) rate of principal repayments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. The principal amount shown is the notional amount of the underlying mortgages. The interest rate disclosed represents yield based upon the estimated timing and amount of future cash flows at Aug. 31, 2010. |
|
(j) | | Principal only represents securities that entitle holders to receive only principal payments on the underlying mortgages. The yield to maturity of a principal only security is sensitive to the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets. A slow (rapid) rate of principal repayments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. Interest rate disclosed represents yield based upon the estimated timing of future cash flows at Aug. 31, 2010. |
|
(k) | | Identifies issues considered to be illiquid as to their marketability (see Note 2 to the financial statements).

Fair Value Measurements
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.
The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| | |
| • | Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (to include NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments. |
|
| • | Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.). |
|
| • | Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Fund Administrator, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Fund Administrator. Inputs used in valuations may

include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Use of estimates
Preparing financial statements that conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates (e.g., on assets, liabilities and contingent assets and liabilities) that could differ from actual results.
Valuation of securities
All securities are valued at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Securities traded on national securities exchanges or included in national market systems are valued at the last quoted sales price from the primary exchange. Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market and are valued by an independent pricing service using an evaluated bid. When market quotes are not readily available, the pricing service, in determining fair values of debt securities, takes into consideration such factors as current quotations by broker/dealers, coupon, maturity, quality, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other yield and risk factors it deems relevant in determining valuations. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. The procedures adopted by the Board generally contemplate the use of fair valuation in the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, price quotations or valuations from other sources are not reflective of market value and thus deemed unreliable, or a significant event has occurred in relation to a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) that is not reflected in price quotations or valuations from other sources. A fair value price is a good faith estimate of the value of a security at a given point in time.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE and therefore the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE, including significant movements in the U.S. market after foreign exchanges have closed. Accordingly, in those situations, Ameriprise
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 67
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), parent company of the Investment Manager, as administrator to the Fund, will fair value foreign securities pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. These procedures take into account multiple factors, including movements in the U.S. securities markets, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available. Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates. Typically, those maturing in 60 days or less that originally had maturities of more than 60 days at acquisition date are valued at amortized cost using the market value on the 61st day before maturity. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less at acquisition date are valued at amortized cost. Amortized cost is an approximation of market value. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value.
Foreign currency translations
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of securities and income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains or losses is reflected as a component of such gains or losses. In the Statement of Operations, net realized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions, if any, may arise from sales of foreign currency, closed forward contracts, exchange gains or losses realized between the trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, and other translation gains or losses on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes. At Aug. 31, 2010, foreign currency holdings were entirely comprised of Brazilian reais and Mexican pesos.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements. Generally, securities received as collateral subject to repurchase agreements are deposited with the Fund’s custodian, and pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, must have an aggregate market value greater than or equal to the repurchase price plus accrued interest at all times. The market value of securities held as collateral for repurchase agreements is monitored on a daily basis to ensure the existence of the proper level of collateral.
68 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Illiquid securities
At Aug. 31, 2010, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid which the Fund currently limits to 15% of net assets, at market value, at the time of purchase. The aggregate value of such securities at Aug. 31, 2010 was $4,040,442 representing 0.08% of net assets. Certain illiquid securities may be valued, in good faith, by management at fair value according to procedures approved by the Board. According to Board guidelines, certain unregistered securities are determined to be liquid and are not included within the 15% limitation specified above. Assets are liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the asset is valued by the Fund.
Securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis
Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a forward-commitment basis, including when-issued securities and other forward-commitments, can take place one month or more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations, and they may affect the Fund’s net assets the same as owned securities. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities at least equal to the amount of its forward-commitments. At Aug. 31, 2010, the Fund has outstanding when-issued securities of $796,640,476 and other forward-commitments of $41,253,717.
The Fund also enters into transactions to sell purchase commitments to third parties at current market values and concurrently acquires other purchase commitments for similar securities at later dates. As an inducement for the Fund to “roll over” its purchase commitments, the Fund receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price of the commitment. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain or loss. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities or if a counterparty does not perform under the terms of the agreement. If a counterparty files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to repurchase or sell securities may be limited.
Forward sale commitments
The Fund may enter into forward sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of forward sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a forward sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting forward purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are used to satisfy the commitment.
Unsettled forward sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 69
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
“Valuation of securities” above. The forward sale commitment is “marked-to-market” daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. If the forward sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss. If the Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the market price established at the date the commitment was entered into. At Aug. 31, 2010, the Fund had no outstanding forward sale commitments.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of the future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Federal taxes
The Fund’s policy is to comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that applies to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income (which includes net short-term capital gains) to shareholders. No provision for income or excise taxes is thus required.
Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Generally, the tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.
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 Fund pays such foreign taxes on net realized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction.
Dividends to shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, declared daily and payable monthly, when available, are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund at net asset value or payable in cash. Capital gains, when available, are normally distributed along with the last income dividend of the calendar year.
Other
Security transactions are accounted for on the date securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income, if any, is recognized on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
70 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Interest income, including amortization of premium, market discount and original issue discount using the effective interest method, is accrued daily.

3. | INVESTMENTS IN DERIVATIVES |
The Fund may invest in certain derivative instruments, which are transactions whose values depend on or are derived from (in whole or in part) the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Such derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs, and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk. Investments in derivative instruments may expose the Fund to certain additional risks, including those detailed below.
Forward foreign currency contracts
The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with settling purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities or as part of its investment strategy. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market daily based upon foreign currency exchange rates from an independent pricing service and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The Fund will record a realized gain or loss when the forward foreign currency contract is closed.
The risks of forward foreign currency contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that the counterparty will not complete its contractual obligation, which may be in excess of the amount, if any, reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures transactions
The Fund may buy and sell financial futures contracts traded on any U.S. or foreign exchange to produce incremental earnings, hedge existing positions or protect against market changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. The Fund may also buy and write put and call options on these futures contracts. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 71
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
Futures and options on futures are valued daily based upon the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires.
Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears the risk of interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices moving unexpectedly, in which case, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
Option transactions
The Fund may buy and write options traded on any U.S. or foreign exchange, or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market to produce incremental earnings, protect gains, and facilitate buying and selling of securities for investments. The Fund may also buy and sell put and call options and write covered call options on portfolio securities. Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other financial instruments at a specified price, or in the case of index options, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option. Completion of transactions for options traded in the OTC market depends upon the performance of the other party. Cash collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure certain OTC options trades. Cash collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option trades must be returned to the counterparty or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.
Option contracts purchased are recorded as investments and options contracts written are recorded as liabilities of the Fund. Option contracts are valued daily at the closing prices on their primary exchanges and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Option contracts, including OTC option contracts, with no readily available market value are valued using quotations obtained from independent brokers as of the close of the NYSE. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option transaction expires or is exercised. When options on debt securities or futures are exercised, the Fund will realize a gain or loss. When other options are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
72 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The Fund’s maximum payout in the case of written put option contracts represents the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund could be required to make as a guarantor for written put options. The maximum payout amount may be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained upon the exercise of the put options by holders of the option contracts or proceeds received upon entering into the contracts. For OTC options contracts, the transaction is also subject to counterparty credit risk.
Credit default swap transactions
The Fund may enter into credit default swap transactions to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an issuer of debt securities, a specific debt security, or an index of issuers or debt securities. Additionally, credit default swaps may be used to hedge the Fund’s exposure on a debt security that it owns or in lieu of selling such debt security.
As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If the credit event specified in the contract occurs, the Fund will be required to deliver either the reference obligation or an equivalent cash amount to the protection seller and in exchange, the Fund will receive the notional amount from the seller. The difference between the value of the obligation delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). At Aug. 31, 2010, the Fund had no outstanding credit default swap contracts in which the Fund was the purchaser of protection.
As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on the notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If the credit event specified in the contract occurs, the Fund will receive the reference obligation or an equivalent cash amount in exchange for the payment of the notional amount to the protection buyer. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 73
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. Notional amounts of all credit default swap contracts outstanding for which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or premiums received upon entering into the agreement.
As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract. Although specified events are contract specific, credit events are generally defined as bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract. Market values for credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments. At Aug. 31, 2010, and for the year then ended, the Fund had no outstanding credit default swap contracts in which the Fund was the seller of protection.
The notional amounts and market values of credit default swap contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Any premium paid or received by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded. Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.
Credit default swap transactions are also subject to the risk of the counterparty not fulfilling its obligations under the contract (counterparty credit risk). The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty credit risk by entering into credit default swap transactions only with counterparties that meet prescribed levels of creditworthiness, as determined by the Investment Manager. The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net market value of all
74 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
derivative transactions entered into pursuant to the contract between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net market value of such derivatives transactions between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Market values of derivatives transactions presented in the financial statements are not netted with the market values of other derivatives transactions or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty. At Aug. 31, 2010, the Fund had no outstanding credit default swap contracts.
Effects of derivative transactions on the financial statements
The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund’s operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

4. | EXPENSES AND SALES CHARGES |
Investment management services fees
Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.48% to 0.29% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The management fee for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010 was 0.44% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Administrative services fees
Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Fund pays Ameriprise Financial an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets that declines from 0.07% to 0.04% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The fee for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010 was 0.06% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Other fees
Other expenses are for, among other things, certain expenses of the Fund or the Board including: Fund boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. Payment of these Fund and Board expenses is facilitated by a company providing limited administrative services to the Fund and the Board. For the year ended Aug. 31, 2010, other expenses paid to this company were $11,457.
Compensation of board members
Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the board members who are not “interested persons” of the Fund under the 1940 Act may defer receipt of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer Agency Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (formerly known as RiverSource Service Corporation) (the Transfer Agent) maintains Fund shareholder accounts and records and provides Fund shareholder services. The Fund paid the Transfer Agent an annual account-
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 77
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
based fee at a rate equal to $20.50 for Class A, $21.50 for Class B and $21.00 for Class C for this service. The Transfer Agent also charged an annual fee of $3 per account serviced directly by the Fund or its designated agent for Class A, Class B and Class C shares. The Fund also paid the Transfer Agent an annual asset-based fee at a rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 shares and an annual asset-based fee at a rate of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares. The Transfer Agent charged an annual fee of $5 per inactive account, charged on a pro rata basis for the 12 month period from the date the account becomes inactive. The Transfer Agent also received reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses. These fees are included in the transfer agency fees in the Statement of Operations.
The Fund and certain other associated investment companies (together, the Guarantors), have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent of Seligman Core Fixed Income Fund, which was acquired by the Fund on Aug. 28, 2009 (Note 11), including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At Aug. 31, 2010, the Fund’s total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $25,960. The liability remaining at Aug. 31, 2010 for Non-Recurring Charges amounted to $12,854 and is included within other accrued expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Plan administration services fees
Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Fund paid an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R2, Class R3 and Class R4 shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.
Distribution fees
The Fund has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (formerly known as RiverSource Fund Distributors, Inc.) (the Distributor) for distribution and shareholder services. Under a Plan and Agreement of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1, the Fund paid a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class R3 and Class W shares, a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class R2 shares and a fee at an annual rate of up to 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. For Class B and Class C shares, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses.
The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) was approximately $7,421,000 and $783,000
78 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
for Class B and Class C shares, respectively. These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of July 31, 2010, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSC. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $1,495,598 for Class A, $79,700 for Class B and $8,953 for Class C for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010.

* | | In addition to the fees and expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the funds in which it invests (also referred to as “acquired funds”), including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds). Because the acquired funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of acquired funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary. |

7. | LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES |
The Fund has entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorizes JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned are secured by cash or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities is delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received is invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement. The investments made with the cash collateral are listed in the Portfolio of Investments. The values of such investments and any uninvested cash collateral are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities along with the related obligation to return the collateral upon the return of the securities loaned. At Aug. 31, 2010, securities valued at $857,386,735 were on loan, secured by U.S. government securities valued at $41,675,353 and by cash collateral of $830,164,426 invested in short-term securities or in cash equivalents.
Risks of delay in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the securities may occur should the borrower of the securities fail financially. Risks may also arise to the extent that the value of the securities loaned increases above the
82 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
value of the collateral received. JPMorgan will indemnify the Fund from losses resulting from a borrower’s failure to return a loaned security when due. Such indemnification does not extend to losses associated with declines in the value of cash collateral investments. Loans are subject to termination by the Fund or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund receives income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income of $1,235,522 earned from securities lending for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010 is included in the Statement of Operations. The Fund also continues to earn interest and dividends on the securities loaned.

9. | AFFILIATED MONEY MARKET FUND |
The Fund may invest its daily cash balance in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund (formerly known as RiverSource Short-Term Cash Fund), a money market fund established for the exclusive use of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager and other institutional clients of the Investment Manager. The cost of the Fund’s purchases and proceeds from sales of shares of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund aggregated $3,425,783,840 and $3,930,370,565, respectively, for the year ended Aug. 31, 2010. The income distributions received with respect to the Fund’s investment in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund can be found in the Statement of Operations and the Fund’s invested balance in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund at Aug. 31, 2010, can be found in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Administrative Agent), whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 83
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility became effective on Oct. 15, 2009, replacing a prior credit facility. The credit facility agreement, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $300 million. The borrowers shall have the right, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent to request an increase of up to $200 million in the aggregate amount of the credit facility from new or existing lenders, provided that the aggregate amount of the credit facility shall at no time exceed $500 million. Participation in such increase by any existing lender shall be at such lender’s sole discretion. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the sum of the federal funds rate plus (i) 1.25% per annum plus (ii) if one-month LIBOR exceeds the federal funds rate, the amount of such excess. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.10% per annum, in addition to an upfront fee equal to its pro rata share of 0.04% of the amount of the credit facility. Prior to Oct. 15, 2009, the credit facility agreement, which was a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permitted collective borrowings up to $475 million. Interest was charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the federal funds rate plus 0.75%. The Fund also paid a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.06% per annum, in addition to an upfront fee equal to its pro rata share of 0.02% of the amount of the credit facility. The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended Aug. 31, 2010.
At the close of business on Aug. 28, 2009, Columbia Diversified Bond Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Seligman Core Fixed Income Fund. The reorganization was completed after shareholders approved the plan on June 2, 2009.
The aggregate net assets of Columbia Diversified Bond Fund immediately before the acquisition were $4,064,386,305 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $4,074,808,638.
The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 1,510,167 shares of Seligman Core Fixed Income Fund valued at $10,422,333.

In exchange for the Seligman Core Fixed Income Fund shares and net assets, Columbia Diversified Bond Fund issued the following number of shares:

| |
12. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of futures and options contracts, foreign currency transactions, recognition of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for certain derivative investments, post-October losses and losses deferred due to wash sales. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains were recorded by the Fund.
In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, undistributed net investment income has been increased by $1,329,482 and accumulated net realized loss has been decreased by $34,976,940 resulting in a net reclassification adjustment to decrease paid-in capital by $36,306,422.
The tax character of distributions paid for the years indicated was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Year ended Aug. 31, | | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 152,065,434 | | | $ | 161,907,695 | |
Long-term capital gain | | | — | | | | — | |
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 85
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
At Aug. 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 10,481,551 | |
Undistributed accumulated long-term gain | | $ | — | |
Accumulated realized loss | | $ | (22,648,830 | ) |
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | $ | 172,670,695 | |
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund had a capital loss carry-over of $22,648,830 at Aug. 31, 2010 that if not offset by capital gains will expire as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
2012 | | | 2013 | | | 2014 | | | 2017 | |
|
$ | 5,227,159 | | | $ | 3,354,885 | | | $ | 10,357,129 | | | $ | 3,709,657 | |
For the year ended Aug. 31, 2010, $49,658,521 of capital loss carry-over was utilized and/or expired unused. It is unlikely the Board will authorize a distribution of any net realized capital gains until the available capital loss carry-over has been offset or expires. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to utilize all of its capital loss carry-over before it expires.
Management has evaluated Fund related events and transactions that occurred during the period from the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund’s financial statements.

14. | INFORMATION REGARDING PENDING AND SETTLED LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
In June 2004, an action captioned John E. Gallus et al. v. American Express Financial Corp. and American Express Financial Advisors Inc. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. The plaintiffs allege that they are investors in several American Express Company (now known as legacy RiverSource) mutual funds and they purport to bring the action derivatively on behalf of those funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The plaintiffs allege that fees allegedly paid to the defendants by the funds for investment advisory and administrative services are excessive. The plaintiffs seek remedies including restitution and rescission of investment advisory and distribution agreements. The plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to transfer this case to the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota (the District Court). In response to defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint, the District Court dismissed one of plaintiffs’ four claims and granted plaintiffs limited discovery.
86 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Defendants moved for summary judgment in April 2007. Summary judgment was granted in the defendants’ favor on July 9, 2007. The plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal with the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (the Eighth Circuit) on August 8, 2007. On April 8, 2009, the Eighth Circuit reversed summary judgment and remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. On August 6, 2009, defendants filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court (the Supreme Court), asking the Supreme Court to stay the District Court proceedings while the Supreme Court considers and rules in a case captioned Jones v. Harris Associates, which involves issues of law similar to those presented in the Gallus case. On March 30, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Jones v. Harris Associates, and on April 5, 2010, the Supreme Court vacated the Eighth Circuit’s decision in the Gallus case and remanded the case to the Eighth Circuit for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates. On June 4, 2010, the Eighth Circuit remanded the Gallus case to the District Court for further consideration in light of the Supreme Court’s decision in Jones v. Harris Associates.
In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees.
Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 87
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.
88 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Columbia Diversified Bond Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Diversified Bond Fund (formerly known as RiverSource Diversified Bond Fund) (the Fund) of the RiverSource Diversified Income Series, Inc. as of August 31, 2010, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Fund for the period ended August 31, 2006, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 20, 2006, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2010, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 97
Approval of Investment Management Services
Agreement
Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (“Columbia Management” or the “investment manager”), formerly known as RiverSource Investments, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (“Ameriprise Financial”), serves as the investment manager to the Fund. Under an investment management services agreement (the “IMS Agreement”), Columbia Management provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and all funds branded Columbia, RiverSource, Seligman and Threadneedle.
On an annual basis, the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), including the independent Board members (the “Independent Directors”), considers renewal of the IMS Agreement. Columbia Management prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in March and April 2010, including reports based on data provided by independent organizations and a comprehensive response to each item of information requested by independent legal counsel to the Independent Directors (“Independent Legal Counsel”) in a letter to the investment manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. All of the materials presented in March and April 2010 were first supplied in draft form to designated representatives of the Independent Directors, i.e., Independent Legal Counsel, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Contracts Committee (including materials relating to the Fund’s proposed expense cap), and the final materials were revised to reflect comments provided by these Board representatives. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) reviews information prepared by Columbia Management addressing the services Columbia Management provides and Fund performance. The Board accords particular weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the IMS Agreement. At the April 6-8, 2010 in-person Board meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Directors, including in an executive session without management, various factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. Following an analysis and discussion of the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, approved renewal of the IMS Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Columbia Management: The Board analyzed various reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by Columbia Management, as well as its expertise, resources and capabilities. The Board specifically considered many developments during the past year concerning the services provided by
98 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
Columbia Management, including, in particular, the continued investment in, and resources dedicated to, the Fund’s operations, most notably, management’s announcement of the massive investment made in the acquisition of the long-term asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC (the “Columbia Transaction”) and the completed integration of J. & W. Seligman & Co. Incorporated, acquisitions which should continue to enhance investment capabilities and provide access to a greater depth of experienced portfolio managers in key categories. The Board noted, in particular, that upon the close of the Columbia Transaction, the investment manager will have grown to 10 investment offices (compared to 6 in 2009). In addition, the Board reviewed information concerning the investment manager’s new Chief Investment Officer upon the close of the Columbia Transaction, including the application of his particular investment philosophy, which is intended to enhance the risk and portfolio management oversight of the entire fund family.
Moreover, in connection with the Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Columbia Management, the Board considered the quality of the administrative and transfer agency services provided by Columbia Management’s affiliates to the Fund. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of Columbia Management and its affiliates, and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the IMS Agreement. Further, the Board considered Columbia Management’s ability to retain key personnel in certain targeted areas and its expectations in this regard. The Board also discussed the acceptability of the terms of the IMS Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by Columbia Management). The Board concluded that the services being performed under the IMS Agreement were of a reasonably high quality.
Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written, including the information on investment performance referenced below) and other considerations, the Board concluded that Columbia Management and its affiliates were in a position to continue to provide a high quality and level of services to the Fund.
Investment Performance: For purposes of evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the IMS Agreement, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered detailed reports containing data prepared by an independent organization showing, for various periods, the performance of the Fund, the performance of a benchmark index, the percentage ranking of the Fund among its
COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT 99
Approval of Investment Management Services
Agreement (continued)
comparison group and the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s investment performance met expectations.
Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Profits Realized By Columbia Management and its Affiliates from their Relationships with the Fund: The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services to be provided under the IMS Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (prepared by an independent organization) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its peer group, as well as data showing the Fund’s contribution to Columbia Management’s profitability. They also reviewed information in the report showing the fees charged by Columbia Management to other client accounts (with similar investment strategies to those of the Fund).
The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that the level of fees should reflect a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the legacy RiverSource Funds’ family, while assuring that the overall fees for each fund (with few defined exceptions) are generally in line with the “pricing philosophy” (i.e., that the total expense ratio of each fund, with few exceptions, is at or below the median expense ratio of funds in the same comparison group). The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering continued expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer group’s median expense ratio. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Fund’s management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services that the Fund receives.
The Board also considered various preliminary integration plans in connection with the Columbia Transaction which, if implemented, would impact the fee structures of various legacy RiverSource Funds. The Board was satisfied with the principles underlying these plans, which, at their preliminary stage, are designed to achieve a rational, consistent pricing model across the combined fund families, as well as preserve the “pricing philosophy” of the legacy RiverSource Funds.
The Board also considered the expected profitability of Columbia Management and its affiliates in connection with Columbia Management providing investment management services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board referred to a detailed profitability report, discussing the profitability to Columbia Management and Ameriprise Financial from managing and operating the Fund, including data showing comparative profitability over the past two years. In this regard, the Board observed slightly reduced profitability in 2009 vs. 2008. The Board also
100 COLUMBIA DIVERSIFIED BOND FUND — 2010 ANNUAL REPORT
considered the services acquired by the investment manager through the use of commission dollars paid by the legacy RiverSource Funds on portfolio transactions. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the investment manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. The Board concluded that profitability levels were reasonable.
Economies of Scale to be Realized: The Board also considered the economies of scale that might be realized by Columbia Management as the Fund grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth. The Board considered that the IMS Agreement provides for lower fees as assets increase at pre-established breakpoints and concluded that the IMS Agreement satisfactorily provided for sharing these economies of scale.
Based on the foregoing, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, concluded that the investment management service fees were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative. On April 8, 2010, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, approved the renewal of the IMS Agreement for an additional annual period.
Proxy Voting
The policy of the Board is to vote the proxies of the companies in which the Fund holds investments consistent with the procedures as stated in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI). You may obtain a copy of the SAI without charge by calling 800.345.6611; contacting your financial intermediary; visiting columbiamanagement.com; or searching the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at http://www.sec.gov.
