Securian Funds Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
(1) Organization
Securian Funds Trust (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), each of whose Funds operate as a no-load, diversified open-end management investment company, except that the SFT Delaware IvySM Growth Fund operates as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Trust is a series trust that includes the Funds and share classes listed below:
Fund Name | | Share Class 1 | | Share Class 2 | |

Securian Asset Management, Inc. ("Securian AM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securian Financial Group, Inc. ("Securian Financial Group"), serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds in the Trust pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Securian AM and the Trust. The Funds' prospectus provides a detailed description of each Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies.
Class 2 shares are subject to a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that Class 1 shares are not subject to a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee. Income, expenses (other than Rule 12b-1 fees) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets.
The Trust accounts for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund separately. Shares of the Funds are not offered directly to the public, but sold only to Minnesota Life Insurance Company ("Minnesota Life") and Securian Life Insurance Company ("Securian Life") in connection with Minnesota Life and Securian Life variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, and to certain other separate accounts of life insurance affiliates of Minnesota Life and Securian Life, and may also be offered to certain qualified plans.
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services—Investment Companies." The significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Trust are as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the statement of assets and liabilities date and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Investments in Securities
Each Fund's net asset value is generally calculated as of the close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 3:00 p.m. Central Time). Investments in securities traded on a U.S. or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued on the basis of the last current bid price by an independent pricing service or at a price deemed best to reflect fair value quoted by dealers who make markets in these securities. The pricing service may use models that price securities based on current yields and relative security characteristics, such as coupon rate, maturity date, issuer credit quality and prepayment speeds, as applicable. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by Securian AM, as the Valuation Designee, in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust and in accordance with provisions of the 1940 Act. The Board has delegated the daily oversight of the securities valuation function to Securian AM, which ensures that valuations comply with the valuation policies. The summary of fair valued in good faith securities are presented to the Board at their quarterly meetings.
A Fund's investments will also be valued at fair value in good faith by Securian AM if it determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred after the close of the security's primary exchange or market (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and before the time the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If a significant event impacting the value of a security or group of securities occurs, Securian AM is immediately notified and promptly determines whether fair value in good faith pricing is needed in accordance with the Trust's valuation procedures and, if so, approves the pricing methodology to be used.
Short-term securities, with the exception of those held in the SFT Government Money Market Fund, are valued at market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, all securities in the SFT Government Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, in order to attempt to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. However, there is no assurance the SFT Government Money Market Fund will maintain the $1.00 net asset value.
On July 12, 2023, the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted amendments to Rule 2a-7 and other rules that govern money market funds under the 1940 Act. As applicable to a government money market fund, these amendments, among other changes: (i) increase required weekly liquid asset and daily liquid asset minimums, effective April 2, 2024; and (ii) allow government money market funds and retail money market funds to engage in certain practices in order to maintain a stable net asset value in a negative interest rate environment, subject to certain conditions including Board approval and disclosure requirements. At this time, management is evaluating the rule amendments and their impact on the SFT Government Money Market Fund.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the first in, first out basis. Paydowns of securities are recorded as receivables as of the due date, which varies by the issuer. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or upon dividend notification for certain foreign securities, and interest income, including amortization of bond premium and accretion of bond discount computed on an effective yield basis, is accrued daily.
Investment Companies
The Funds may invest in other investment companies, which may not be traded on an exchange, the Fund(s) may, as a practical expedient, estimate the fair value of an investment company based on the reported NAV per share or its equivalent if the reported NAV per share or its equivalent of the investment company is calculated in a manner consistent with the measurement principles applied to investment companies, in accordance with ASC 946. If the investment company does not provide a reported NAV per share or its

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
equivalent on a Business Day, Securian AM, as valuation designee, shall estimate fair value in good faith and in a manner consistent with the Trust's Valuation Procedures.
Foreign Currency Translations
Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of exchange. Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date.
Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
The Funds do not separately report changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities.
Futures Transactions
To gain exposure to, or for protection from market changes, the Funds (excluding the SFT Government Money Market Fund) may buy and sell financial futures contracts traded on any U.S. or foreign exchange. The Funds may also buy and write put and call options on these futures contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts and related options include 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.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is aggregated at a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the applicable regulator. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a 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. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expired. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to a Fund's assets in the segregated account. For a listing of open futures contracts see the Investments in Securities for each Fund.
Options Transactions
Each Fund (excluding the SFT Government Money Market Fund) may write (i.e., sell) covered call and secured put options and purchase and sell put and call options written by others. An option is a type of derivative financial instrument. The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments, including options, in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. 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 a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised.
The risk in buying an option is that each Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Each Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Each Fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost
66
Securian Funds Trust

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of written options.
Bank Loans
The SFT Core Bond Fund may purchase bank loans. Bank loans are interests in amounts owed by corporate or other borrowers and may be in the form of loans, trade claims or other receivables and may include standby financing commitments such as revolving credit facilities that obligate the Fund to supply additional cash to the borrower on demand. Bank loans may be made directly with a borrower or acquired through assignment or participation. The Fund's right to enforce a borrower's compliance with the terms of the loan agreement, or benefit directly from the collateral supporting the loan, varies when the loan is a direct borrowing, an assignment, or a participation. Investments in bank loans may involve special risks including risk of loss in case of default, insolvency, or the bankruptcy of the borrower and are generally subject to restrictions on transfer with limited opportunities to sell them in secondary markets. The Fund may also invest in loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for a future funding. The Fund may earn a commitment fee on any unfunded portion of these commitments which is amortized to interest income over the commitment period. Both the funded portion of a loan interest as well as its unfunded commitment, if any, is reflected on the Schedule of Investments. Although typically secured, bank loans may not be backed by sufficient collateral to satisfy their issuers' obligations in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar distressed scenarios. Bank loans may also be illiquid, not readily marketable, or subject to restrictions on resale.
Repurchase Agreements
Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a Fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Each Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agencies securities or corporate securities having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement. If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the value of those securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities. Repurchase agreements are carried at amortized cost. As of June 30, 2024, no Funds were invested in repurchase agreements.
Federal Taxes
Each Fund, other than SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund, SFT Equity Stabilization Fund and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund, qualifies as a partnership for federal income tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A Fund is treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a partnership if it has more than one shareholder. A Fund's election to be treated as a partnership is not expected to result in any material adverse federal income tax consequences to any owner of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, or in the tax treatment of any such contract or policy. As a partnership, a Fund is not subject to income tax, and any income, gains, deductions, or losses of the Fund will instead pass through and be considered for federal income tax purposes by its partners, which will be Minnesota Life and Securian Life through their respective separate accounts. SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund, SFT Equity Stabilization Fund and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund are treated as disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. While the Trust anticipates that each Fund other than SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund, SFT Equity Stabilization Fund, and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund will always have two shareholders, Minnesota Life and Securian Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Minnesota Life, such ownership could change and accordingly a Fund may at some time
67
Securian Funds Trust

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
have only one shareholder and would be treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. A disregarded entity is disregarded for federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from its owner, and the owner is treated as directly owning the assets of the disregarded entity and considers for federal income tax purposes the income, gains, deductions, and losses relating to those assets.
The FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes" (ASC 740), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. The Funds have evaluated the implications of ASC 740 for all open tax years, and have determined there is no impact to the Funds' financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The Funds' federal and state income returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired (2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023) remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and states' department of revenue.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of temporary book-to-tax differences.
Distributions to Shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains (if any) for the SFT Government Money Market Fund are declared daily and reinvested at month-end in additional shares of capital stock.
The Funds are partnerships and disregarded entities. Funds other than SFT Government Money Market Fund are not required to and will not distribute taxable income.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Forward Commitment Basis
Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased or sold by a Fund on a when-issued or forward commitment basis, including To Be Announced ("TBA") securities, can take place a month or more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations. As of June 30, 2024, the SFT Core Bond Fund entered into outstanding, when-issued or forward commitments, including TBA securities, at fair value of $75,982,283.
Cross-Trades
The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities (i.e., "cross-trade") from and to other Funds within the Trust as well as outside of the Trust, where both accounts are managed by the same adviser or sub-adviser pursuant to "Cross-Trading" procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by a respective Fund from and to another Fund that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Funds under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser, common officer, or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds engaged in the following cross-trades, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses):
| | Purchases | | Sales | | Net Realized Gains (Losses) | |

The Trust bears certain other operating expenses including independent trustees' fees, federal registration fees, printing and shareholder report expenses, legal fees, audit fees, custodian fees, a percentage of the compensation paid to the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer, and other miscellaneous expenses. Each Fund will pay all expenses directly related to its individual operations.
Operating expenses not attributable to a specific Fund are generally allocated based upon the proportionate daily net assets of each Fund.
Administrative Services Fee
The Trust has entered into an agreement with Securian Financial Group under which Securian Financial Group provides accounting, legal, security valuations and other administrative services. Each Fund reimburses Securian Financial Group quarterly for the actual costs incurred in performing such services, as determined in accordance with Securian Financial Group's customary cost accounting procedures consistently applied. Total quarterly administrative fees by Fund currently range from $8,000 to $19,000.
Accounting Services
The Trust has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in which State Street provides daily fund accounting and investment administration services.

("Securian Financial"), the Trust's underwriter, to pay for distribution-related expenses and activities in connection with the distribution of the Covered Fund's shares. Securian Financial may also use the fees to pay

Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement for the SFT Government Money Market Fund
Effective May 1, 2012, the Board approved a Restated Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement (the "Income Maintenance Agreement") among the Trust (on behalf of SFT Government Money Market Fund), Securian AM and Securian Financial. Under such Income Maintenance Agreement, Securian AM agrees to waive, reimburse, or pay SFT Government Money Market Fund expenses so that the Fund's daily net investment income does not fall below zero. Securian Financial may also waive its Rule 12b-1 fees. Securian AM and Securian Financial each has the option under the Income Maintenance Agreement to recover the full amount waived, reimbursed, or paid (the "Expense Waiver") on any day on which the Fund's net investment income exceeds zero. On any day, however, the Expense Waiver does not constitute an obligation of the Fund unless Securian AM or Securian Financial has expressly exercised its right to recover a specified portion of the Expense Waiver on that day, in which case such specified portion is then due and payable by the Fund. In addition, the right of Securian AM and/or Securian Financial to recover the Expense Waiver is subject to the following limitations: (1) if a repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund would cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero, such repayment is deferred until a date when repayment would not cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero; (2) the right to recover any portion of the Expense Waiver expires three years after the effective date of that portion of the Expense Waiver; and (3) any repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund cannot cause the Fund's expense ratio to exceed 1.25%. If Securian AM and Securian Financial exercise their rights to be paid such waived amounts, the Fund's future yield will be negatively affected for an indefinite period. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. The Income Maintenance Agreement runs through April 30, 2025 and renew annually for a full year unless terminated by Securian AM upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term.
As of June 30, 2024, the amounts waived and eligible for recovery are as follows:

SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund, SFT Equity Stabilization Fund and SFT Government Money Market Fund Expense Waivers
Securian AM and the Trust, on behalf of the SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund, SFT Equity Stabilization Fund and SFT Government Money Market Fund, have entered into separate Expense Limitation Agreements which limit the operating expenses of these Funds, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense, acquired fund fees, cash overdraft fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business). The Expense Limitation Agreements for SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund and SFT Equity Stabilization Fund were terminated effective May 1, 2021.

The SFT Government Money Market Expense Limitation Agreement runs through April 30, 2025 and renews annually for a full year unless terminated by Securian AM upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term. The Funds are authorized to reimburse Securian AM for management fees previously waived and/or for the cost of expenses previously paid by Securian AM pursuant to their respective Expense Limitation Agreement, provided that such reimbursement will not cause any Fund to exceed any limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement. A Fund's ability to reimburse Securian AM in this manner only applies to fees waived or reimbursements made by Securian AM within the three fiscal years prior to the date of such reimbursement. To the extent that the Fund makes such reimbursements to Securian AM, the amount of the reimbursements will be reflected in the financial statements in the Funds' shareholder reports and in Other Expenses under Fees and Expenses of the Fund in the Funds' prospectus.
As of June 30, 2024, the amounts waived and eligible for recovery are as follows:

(5) Illiquid Investments
Non-Money Market Funds—Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, no Fund may acquire an "illiquid investment" if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Rule 22e-4 generally defines an illiquid investment as any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2024, the SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund and SFT Core Bond Fund held three and one illiquid securities with a market value of $3,928,946 and $29,121, which represents 0.6% and 0.0% of net assets, respectively.
Government Money Market Funds—Money market funds are governed by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Per Rule 2a-7, the SFT Government Money Market Fund currently limits investments in "illiquid securities" to 0.5% of total assets at the time of purchase. Rule 2a-7 defines an illiquid security as a security that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven calendar days at approximately the value ascribed to it by the Fund. At June 30, 2024, the Fund did not hold illiquid securities.
(6) Fair Value Measurement
The Trust utilizes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The hierarchy also establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs include information market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the Trust's estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the financial asset or liability based on the best
72
Securian Funds Trust
Notes to Financial Statements – continued
(6) Fair Value Measurement – (continued)
information available in the circumstances. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk and prepayment speed). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the advisor's own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment or are based on independent non-binding broker quotes. Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in total investments, such as futures, swaps, and written options.
The following is a summary of the levels used for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities (please see the Investments in Securities for each Fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

Level 2 Measurements:
Government obligations comprised of U.S. Treasury, agency and government guaranteed fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread of the U.S. Treasury curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded.
Asset-backed and other mortgage-backed securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans, etc.
Corporate obligations comprised of U.S. corporate and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuation is based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Investment grade privately placed securities are valued using discounted cash flow methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.
Long-term and short-term debt securities comprised of foreign government and state and political subdivision fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs including benchmark U.S. Treasury or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating.
Bank Loans – These securities are generally valued by independent pricing services based on the average of quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. These quoted prices are based on interest rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, credit spreads and/or other criteria. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of Bank Loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
The Funds' policy is to recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. There were no transfers of financial assets between Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the six-months ended June 30, 2024.

Equity derivatives were purchased or sold to manage the SFT Index 400 Mid-Cap and SFT Index 500 Funds' shareholder liquidity and to attempt to replicate intended stock investments to maintain fully invested Funds. Equity index options are utilized by the SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund and the SFT Equity Stabilization Fund to manage the equity exposure while attempting to reduce the volatility and risk of the Funds. Interest rate derivatives were purchased or sold in the SFT Core Bond Fund to both manage the average duration of the fixed income portfolio and to hedge against the effects of interest rate changes on a portfolio's current or intended investments.

The Funds may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. The Funds manage credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties. Generally, the current credit exposure of the derivative contracts is limited to the positive estimated fair value of derivative contracts at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of netting arrangements and any collateral received pursuant to credit support annexes. Because exchange traded derivatives are purchased through regulated exchanges and positions are settled regularly, the Funds have minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivative instruments. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, none of the Funds' derivatives were subject to master netting arrangements.
(8) Affiliated Ownership
The SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund invests in underlying securities and other investment companies, of which certain underlying funds (affiliated underlying funds) may be deemed to be under common control with the SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund because they share the same investment advisor, Securian AM, and because they are overseen by the same Board. The SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund achieves its equity exposure by investing only in Class 1 Shares of the SFT Index 500 Fund, an affiliated fund in the Trust that seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the common stocks included in the Standard & Poor's 500® Index.

Securian Funds Trust
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Advisory Contracts
(unaudited)
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Securian Funds Trust (the "Trust," and each series thereof, a "Fund," and together, the "Funds") votes on the renewal of the Trust's investment advisory agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement") with Securian Asset Management, Inc. ("Securian AM"), the Trust's investment adviser. The Board most recently unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement on February 22, 2024. At this meeting, the Board also approved the continuation of the investment sub-advisory agreements (each an "Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement," and together with the Investment Advisory Agreement, the "Advisory Contracts") between Securian AM and Delaware Investments Fund Advisers ("DIFA") (for SFT Delaware Ivy Growth Fund), between Securian AM and DIFA (for SFT Delaware Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund), between Securian AM and Wellington Management Company LLC ("Wellington") (for SFT Wellington Core Equity Fund), between Securian AM and Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. ("Cohen & Steers") (for SFT Real Estate Securities Fund), and between Securian AM and Metropolitan West Asset Management, LLC ("MetWest") (for SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund). Collectively, the Funds managed by the sub-advisers are referred to as the "Sub-Advised Funds" and the sub-advisers listed above are referred to collectively herein as the "Sub-Advisers."
The Board receives a variety of information throughout the year about each Fund's investment performance, adherence to investment policies, expenses, sales and redemptions, regulatory compliance and management. The Board meets at least once each year with each Fund's portfolio management team. The Board also receives frequent updates on industry developments and best practices, changes in Securian AM's organization and staffing, brokerage allocation and other matters.
In preparing for the Board's meeting on February 22, 2024, the members of the Board who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the "Independent Trustees") met in executive session on February 12, 2024 to review the responses to various information requests made to Securian AM and the Sub-Advisers. The Board also reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their legal duties and responsibilities in connection with this annual review.
The Board considered various factors described below, none of which by itself was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Advisory Contracts are discussed separately below.
Investment Advisory Agreement
Investment Performance
The Board reviewed the January 2024 report (the "Broadridge Report") prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") containing comparisons of each Fund's total return performance, and Board reports comparing each Fund's investment performance for the most recently completed calendar quarter and one, three, five and, where applicable, ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023, with peer funds independently selected by Broadridge and with one or more benchmark indices.
The Board noted that each of SFT S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index Fund and SFT S&P 500 Index Fund slightly underperformed their respective benchmarks and Broadridge peers during all reporting periods. They also noted that the SFT Government Money Market Fund slightly underperformed its Broadridge peers and benchmark for all relevant periods. The Board then observed that the SFT Balanced Stabilization Fund and the SFT Equity Stabilization Fund performed consistently with their objectives and were competitive with their peers. The Board reviewed attribution analyses and portfolio positioning on all Funds, particularly the Funds with more recent underperformance. After considering all this information, the Board concluded that the overall performance for each Fund was acceptable.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Securian AM
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services that Securian AM provides to the Funds. The Board considered Securian AM's investment teams and their capabilities, including ensuring that the Funds pursue their investment objectives. The Board also noted that Securian AM provides the Trust with office space, administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by other Trust services providers) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for its operations. The Board further took into account that Securian AM pays all of the compensation of officers and employees of the Trust (except that each Fund pays an equitable share of the compensation expense of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer). The Board considered the experience, capability and integrity of Securian AM's investment management and other personnel, the role of Securian AM's senior management, and the extent of its involvement with the Funds, and Securian AM's willingness to add personnel over time in order to ensure that appropriate staffing levels are maintained.
The Board also considered (a) the financial position of Securian AM; (b) the quality of Securian AM's regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; (c) the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services provided by Securian AM to the Funds; and (d) Securian AM's supervision of the Funds' third-party service providers.
With respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Board noted the responsibilities that Securian AM has, including the selection and oversight of the Funds' Sub-Advisers; maintaining a comprehensive compliance and administration program; and implementing Sub-Advised Fund policies.
Based on the factors described above, among other factors, as well as the information provided to the Board throughout the year, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by Securian AM to the Funds.
Management Fee and Other Expenses
The Board reviewed the Broadridge Report comparisons of each Fund's investment management, non-management and total expenses with industry peers that were independently selected by Broadridge, and analyzed factors that contributed to the expenses for certain Funds, including the small size of certain Funds in comparison to their industry peers. The Board reviewed whether current fee levels appropriately capture and share economies of scale (if any) with Fund investors, and the Board noted that all of the Funds have breakpoints in their fee structures that provide the opportunity for sharing economies of scale with Fund investors as such Funds' assets grow.
The Board observed that Securian AM's advisory fees for non-fund institutional clients are generally lower than the advisory fees charged to a Fund with a similar strategy. The Board concluded that the fees charged to the Funds are justified by the additional services provided by Securian AM in managing the Funds (including the provision of office facilities, officers, administration and compliance, coordination with the Trust Board, committee and vendor functions, sub-adviser oversight, regulatory filings and the performance of most Trust operations).
The Board reviewed Board reports on Securian AM's profitability in managing each Fund, as well as the methodology by which Securian AM calculated such profitability, and did not view Securian AM's profitability from any Fund as excessive.
The Board also considered that Securian AM and its affiliates benefit from certain soft-dollar arrangements. The Board noted that Securian AM's profitability would be somewhat lower if it had to pay for these benefits out of
82
Securian Funds Trust
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Advisory Contracts – continued
(unaudited)
its own assets. The Board also noted that Securian Financial Services, Inc. (the Trust's distributor), an affiliate of Securian AM, receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Board also noted that Minnesota Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of Securian AM, benefits by performing certain legal, compliance and other administrative services for the Trust, in return for a reimbursement of costs it incurs in connection with its provision of such services. The Board also recognized that Securian AM and its affiliates derive reputational and other benefits from their association with the Funds and Trust.
Based on this information, the Board concluded that the advisory fee payable by each Fund to Securian AM is fair and reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Securian AM.
Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements
At the February 22, 2024 meeting, the Board also unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements. In addition to the Board's review of the Sub-Advised Funds' investment performance and expense ratios, the Board also requested and evaluated other information, including a report on each Sub-Adviser's organization and current staffing, a report on brokerage allocation practices and related soft dollar arrangements, assurances that each Sub-Advised Fund is managed in accordance with its stated investment objectives, policies and limitations, assurances that all disclosures relating to the Sub-Adviser reflected in the Trust's registration statement are complete and accurate, and assurance that the sub-adviser operates in full compliance with applicable laws, regulations and exemptive orders. The Board also reviewed a summary of each Sub-Adviser's code of ethics and compliance program. The Board noted that Securian AM is unaffiliated with each Sub-Adviser and took into account Securian AM's position that the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements were negotiated on an "arm's-length" basis.
The Board also reviewed the allocation of duties and responsibilities with respect to each Sub-Advised Fund between Securian AM and each Fund's Sub-Adviser. The Board noted that Securian AM is responsible for the selection, monitoring and oversight of each Sub-Adviser, the fulfillment or oversight of substantially all of each Sub-Advised Fund's legal and regulatory requirements, the preparation for and facilitation of all Board, Audit Committee of the Board and Governance Committee of the Board meetings, and many other requirements.
Investment Performance
The Board reviewed the Broadridge Report containing comparisons of each Sub-Advised Fund's total return performance and Board reports comparing each Sub-Advised Fund's investment performance for the most recently completed calendar quarter and one, three, five and, where applicable, ten-year periods ended December 31, 2023 with peer funds independently selected by Broadridge and with one or more benchmark indices.
With respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Board noted that SFT Delaware Ivy Growth Fund outperformed its benchmark and Broadridge peers for the 1-year period, underperformed its benchmark and Lipper peers for the 3-year period, and outperformed its Broadridge peers, but underperformed its benchmark for the 5-year period. They noted that the SFT Delaware Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund underperformed both its Broadridge peers and benchmark for all reporting periods. The Board observed that the SFT Real Estate Securities Fund outperformed its Broadridge peers and its benchmark during 1- and 3-year periods, and outperformed its Broadridge peers but underperformed its benchmark during 5- and 10-year periods. The Board noted that the SFT Core Bond Fund underperformed its Broadridge peers for all reporting periods, but outperformed its benchmark for the 1-, 3- and 10-year periods. The Board then observed that SFT Wellington Core Equity Fund underperformed its Broadridge peers and benchmark for all reporting periods. Finally, the Board noted that SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund outperformed its Broadridge peers and benchmark for the 5-year period, underperformed its Broadridge

(unaudited)
peers and benchmark for the 3-year period, but underperformed its Broadridge peers for the 1-year period. The Board reviewed attribution analyses and portfolio positioning on all Sub-Advised Funds, particularly the Funds with more recent underperformance. After considering all this information, the Board concluded that the Sub-Advised Funds' overall performance was acceptable.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Sub-Advisers
The Board considered each Sub-Adviser's investment management process, including (a) the experience, capability and integrity of the Sub-Adviser's management, investment professionals and other personnel; (b) the financial position of the Sub-Adviser; (c) the quality of the Sub-Adviser's regulatory and legal compliance policies, procedures and systems; (d) the Sub-Adviser's brokerage and trading practices; and (e) Securian AM's evaluation of the nature, quality and extent of services performed by each Sub-Adviser.
The Board specifically considered the qualifications, experience and track record of the individuals and portfolio management teams at each Sub-Adviser that are responsible for the day-to-day management of each Sub-Advised Fund's portfolio. The Board also considered, with respect to each Sub-Adviser, its specific investment approach and level of expertise within its particular asset class and strategy. The Board considered whether each Sub-Adviser operated within its respective Fund's investment objective and style, and considered each Sub-Adviser's record of compliance with applicable investment restrictions. The Board also considered each Sub-Adviser's performance record with respect to the relevant benchmark(s).
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by each Sub-Adviser to its respective Sub-Advised Fund is satisfactory.
Management Fee and Other Expenses of the Sub-Advisers
The Board considered the fee paid to each Sub-Adviser by Securian AM for providing services to the respective Sub-Advised Fund. The Board considered management's representation that Securian AM negotiated competitive fee structures for each Fund, and noted that the sub-advisory fees are paid by Securian AM out of the investment advisory fees it receives and not the Funds. The Board also considered individual reports and data prepared with regard to each Sub- Advised Fund, including comparative information regarding fees. The Board noted that each Sub-Adviser's fees were generally similar to, or less than, the fees charged by each Sub-Adviser to other comparable funds and accounts.
The Board considered each Sub-Adviser's fee schedule, the anticipated effect of asset growth on each Fund's expenses, and other information that might suggest the potential for realizing economies of scale that could be shared with Fund shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted that certain of the Sub-Advisory Agreements' fee schedules contain breakpoints that present potential economies of scale that could potentially be passed along to the Sub-Advised Funds' shareholders as assets of the Sub-Advised Funds grow.
The Board considered the allocation of Fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with a Sub-Adviser, and benefits to the Sub-Advisers from the use of "soft dollar" commissions (if applicable) to pay for research and brokerage services. The Board also considered any other ancillary benefits that accrue to a Sub-Adviser or any affiliate by virtue of the Sub-Adviser's relationship with the Fund, and concluded that such benefits, if any, were reasonable.
The Board concluded that the fees charged by each Sub-Adviser were justified and reasonable in connection with the services provided for managing each respective Sub-Advised Fund.
The Board did not consider the profitability of the Sub-Advisers to be a material factor based on representations from Securian AM that it negotiates sub-advisory fees with the Sub-Advisers on an arm's-length basis and reports regarding any relationships between the Sub-Advisers and Securian AM.

Securian Funds Trust
Trustees and Executive Officers
(unaudited)
Under Delaware law, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has overall responsibility for managing the Trust in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Trust. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the Trust, and review the performance of the Trust and its Funds. One of the six current Trustees is considered an "interested person" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust. The other five Trustees, because they are not interested persons of the Trust, are considered independent ("Independent Trustees") and are not employees or officers of, and have no financial interest in, the Trust's investment adviser, Securian Asset Management, Inc. ("Securian AM") or its affiliated companies, including Minnesota Life Insurance Company.
Only executive officers and other officers who perform policy-making functions with the Trust are listed. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until his or her resignation, death or removal.
