Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), covering the Trust’s annual fiscal year period of May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Trust’s holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Trust’s investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively), have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Trust’s annual fiscal year period.
The economy
The last year brought a tale of two narratives for the global economy. During 2019 the global economy centered on trade, as escalating frictions between the U.S. and China disrupted global supply chains and weighed heavily on sentiment. The announcement of a phase one trade deal between the two sides in October, and progression toward the deal’s completion in December, fueled hopes for the possibility of a cyclical recovery in early 2020. Despite weakness in business investment, a byproduct of the trade war, the U.S. recorded Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.3% (seasonally adjusted) in 2019, thanks to notable strength in consumer spending. Optimism abruptly reversed course in late February of 2020 asCOVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, evolved from an outbreak to a global pandemic. Governments worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures to curb the virus’s spread, relegating consumers to their homes and forcingnon-essential businesses to shutter. With economic activity grinding to a near standstill by the end of March, U.S. GDP declined by 4.8% (seasonally adjusted annualized rate) in the first quarter, providing an early glimpse into what is expected to be a materially weaker second quarter. As demand receded in April, gauges of manufacturing and services activity tumbled into contraction territory, core inflation dropped by a record 0.4% (month-over-month) and the U.S. unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%, its highest level since the Great Depression.
The fiscal and monetary response in the U.S. has been unparalleled historically, in its scale and speed of implementation. After delivering three rate cuts in 2019, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) lowered rates further by a cumulative 150 basis points1 in the first quarter of 2020 and moved to open-ended purchases of Treasuries and agency Mortgage-Backed Securities/Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities. Additionally, the Fed introduced a plethora of accommodations to support financial markets, businesses and governments. The Fed entered uncharted territory by creating new facilities to purchase corporate debt and fixed income ETFs, and later broadened their scope to include segments of the high yield market. The Federal government introduced roughly $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus through three pieces of legislation to provide direct support to consumers, businesses and governments, cushion the pandemic’s economic impact and accelerate the nation’s healthcare response.
Emerging and international developed economies, which are more export dependent than the U.S., were hit particularly hard by the trade war in 2019, with the global manufacturing sector moving into contraction in the third quarter, before showing signs of life towards the end of the year. A cyclical rebound appeared to be picking up steam in China, beforeCOVID-19 emerged in its central province of Wuhan. As the first economy affected, China offered a preview to the rest of the world of the virus’s potential impact. After GDP growth decelerated in 2019, to its slowest pace in 30 years, China registered a record decline in the first quarter 2020. The Euro zone and UK economies suffered a tremendous economic toll as countrywide lockdown orders were set into motion and GDP contracted in the first quarter. Central banks outside the U.S. followed the Fed’s lead, in introducing record volumes of accommodation, while the fiscal response across international economies has been massive in scale.
Bond markets
The 2019 calendar year marked a strong period for bond markets, particularly for investment grade corporates, which posted their best annual performance since 2002 as rates fell precipitously and spreads compressed to near decade lows. However, the first quarter of 2020 brought one of the most volatile quarters in recent memory as theCOVID-19 pandemic challenged corporate balance sheets and severely hampered liquidity. Taxable corporate credit spreads (interest rate in excess of the risk-free rate) and the ratio of high gradetax-exempt yields to Treasuries of equivalent maturity surged to decade highs. The10-year Treasury yield plummeted to anall-time low as the Federal Reserve slashed rates to zero and investors sought safety. The Federal Reserve moved to open-ended quantitative easing and arranged a broad menu of facilities to enhance market liquidity and expand access to credit. The Fed’s pledge to provide direct support to corporate bond markets, for the first time in history, helped drive taxable spreads materially lower and boosted performance through the end of April. The energy sector weighed heavily on performance for corporates as the price of oil plunged to a historic record low. The more vulnerable high yield sector saw fundamentals deteriorate asymmetrically and lagged high grade peers in therisk-off environment.

Equity markets
The past year brought a continuation of the predominant equity market trends observed in the second half of 2018, namely the dominance of U.S. over international equities, developed over emerging markets, growth over value and large over small cap. U.S. large cap equities capped off their second best annual performance of the decade in the 2019 calendar year and benefitted from corporate earnings that came in better than feared, supportive monetary policy and trade optimism from October through January. International developed and emerging market equities, which are more leveraged to global trade, suffered disproportionately throughout theUS-China tariff disaster, while persistent dollar strength and investors’ preference for safe-haven assets presented additional headwinds for the international group. Risk appetite prevailed through January but was abruptly derailed as theCOVID-19 outbreak escalated rapidly to a global pandemic and brought the longest bull market in history to a painful end. The selloff that transpired from February to late March was indiscriminate, affecting all regions with unsettling speed and magnitude, although winners and losers emerged during the subsequent rebound from March lows. Notably, U.S. small cap companies, which are more cyclical in nature, bore the brunt of the selloff, as the pandemic introduced a punishing blow to economic activity.Mega-cap technology stocks emerged as relative safe havens and proved more resilient than the broader market with earnings less impacted by the economic damage.
For the12-month period May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

WILMINGTON INTERNATIONAL FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington International Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of-12.35%* for Class A Shares and-12.28%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the MSCI – All Country Worldex-US Index (Net, USD) ( MSCI ACW Iex-US)** which had a total return of-11.51%. The MSCI ACWIex-US is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed and emerging market equity performance, excluding the United States.
International equity markets exhibited considerable volatility during May through December 2019, mainly due to uncertainty around U.S. – China trade negotiations. Then, inmid-January 2020,COVID-19 burst out of Wuhan, rapidly spreading to elsewhere in Asia, Europe, and North America. Country after country imposed severe public health measures, with adverse economic impacts. Anticipating an acute global recession, international equity markets plunged in late February, reaching a trough in late March, before stabilizing. As the fiscal year ended, markets had partially recovered, on optimism that public health measures were beginning to work, and that economies couldre-open.
Global investors favored technology stocks over energy and financial stocks throughout the fiscal year, particularly during theCOVID-19 market drawdown. Share prices for energy stocks collapsed due to the combination of falling oil demand and conflict between Saudi Arabia and Russia over supply constraints. Share prices for European banks sharply dropped as regulatory authorities ordered dividend and buyback suspensions. The Fund’s slight overweight to technology stocks, and slight underweights to energy and financial stocks, made a significant positive contribution to excess return. However, the Fund’s underweight to consumer staples stocks, which tend to outperform during market downturns, hurt performance.
Likewise, investors favored stocks offering high-quality, sustainable earnings growth. This was particularly the case during the market drawdown, as investors grappled with uncertainty over the likely depth and duration of the emergent global recession. The Fund’s modest tilt toward high-quality growth stocks made a significant positive contribution to its excess return. However, the Fund’s tilt toward smaller capitalization stocks, which tend to underperform during market downturns, detracted from performance.
Global investors preferred stocks domiciled in Japan and Asiaex-Japan over those domiciled in Europe. Japanese stocks benefitted during the market drawdown, as well as during the preceding volatility, as investors sought the perceived “safe haven” ofyen-denominated assets. The Fund’s slight overweight to Japan was helpful. By the end of the fiscal year, much of Asiaex-Japan had already emerged from lockdown, with Europe still contemplating plans forre-opening. The Fund was slightly overweight to each Asiaex-Japan and Europe, so the regional performance difference was not impactful.
The emergent global recession weighed heavily on the stock markets and currencies of commodity producing countries, namely Australia, Brazil, Canada, and South Africa. The Fund had meaningful underweights to such stocks, which contributed to the portfolio’s excess return.
It should be noted that reported fiscal year performance was impacted by the application of fair valuation to calculation of the Fund’s Net Asset Value on April 30th, the last day of the fiscal year. The intraday decline in the Russell 1000 (U.S. large cap) index met the threshold for triggering a downward adjustment to the Fund’s Net Asset Value.

WILMINGTON GLOBAL ALPHA EQUITIES FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, the Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of-2.57%* for Class A Shares and-2.31%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Fund Index**, which had a total return of-6.00%. The Fund also outperformed its Morningstar peer group (US Long-Short Equity), which returned-4.86%.
During the fiscal year that ended April 30, 2020, the Fund had strong risk-adjusted performance and met its objective of providing downside protected, hedged equity exposure.
The Fund outperformed both its benchmark and its peers, reducing the amount capital decreased during a volatile period. The Fund had a maximum peak to trough drawdown during the period of only 15.4% versus 20.4% for the peer group and nearly 34% for the MSCI ACWI.
The Fund is a portfolio of long only equity strategies run by Wellington’s different portfolio management teams overseen and hedged with market futures by Wellington’s Investment Strategy and Risk Team.
For the year, the long only equity strategies performed roughlyin-line with Global Equities as represented by the MSCI ACWI Index. The Fund was helped by stock selection, though it was hurt considerably by sector selection, where the Fund was underweight tech and overweight industrials. Country selection was slightly negative, as the Fund was hurt by its overweight to Europe and underweight to US, but was helped by its overweight to Japan.
From an underlying strategy perspective four Portfolio Managers outperformed significantly, three underperformed and the rest were roughlyin-line with their benchmarks. The top performer was a manager who focused on high quality companies with an overweight to U.S. markets. The poorest performer was an international value manager – a style that was very out of favor.
The Fund uses equity index futures to reduce the Fund’s net long exposure to the global equity market. The use of equity index futures contributed significantly to performance as the hedges were highly profitable during the first quarter of 2020.
| * | Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total return shown assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares.

| ** | The HFRX Equity Hedge Fund Index measures the performance of hedge fund strategies that primarily maintain long and short positions in equity and equity derivative securities. Equity Hedge managers typically maintain at least 50%, and in some cases may be entirely invested in equity-related securities, both long and short. Managers may employ a broad range of processes and strategies, including both quantitative and fundamental techniques, as well as net exposures, level of concentration, use of leverage, holding periods, and market capitalizations. The Index is weighted by asset size among reporting funds, which must have at least $50 million in assets or have been active for at least 12 months. The index is unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or a loss. Investments such as mutual funds which focus on alternative strategies are subject to increased risk and loss of principal and are not suitable for all investors. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program rather than, in itself, a complete program. Because the Fund invests in underlying mutual funds or other managed strategies, an investor in the Fund will bear the management fees and operating expenses of the “Underlying Strategies” in which the Fund invests. The total expenses borne by an investor in the Fund will be higher than if the investor invested directly in the Underlying Strategies, and the returns may therefore be lower.
The Fund, theSub-Advisers, and the Underlying Strategies may use aggressive investment strategies, which are riskier than those used by typical mutual funds. If the Fund andSub-Advisers are unsuccessful in applying these investment strategies, the Fund and you may lose more money than if you had invested in another fund that did not invest aggressively. The Fund is subject to risks associated with theSub-Advisers making trading decisions independently, investing in other investment companies, using a particular style or set of styles, basing investment decisions on historical relationships and correlations, trading frequently, using leverage, making short sales, beingnon-diversified, and investing in securities with low correlation to the market. The use of leverage may magnify losses.
The Fund is also subject to risks associated with investments in foreign markets, emerging market securities, small cap companies, debt securities, derivatives, commodity-linked instruments, illiquid securities, asset-backed securities, and Collaterized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”). Please see the prospectus and summary prospectus for information on these as well as other risk considerations.

WILMINGTON REAL ASSET FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington Real Asset Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of-11.35%* for Class A Shares and-11.13%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the S&P Developed Property Index**, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities Index (“Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index”)***, and the Real Asset Blended Index, which had total returns of-15.73%, 9.46% and-11.53%, respectively.
Effective January 1, 2020, the Real Asset Blended Index is a mix of 37.5% S&P Developed Property Index, 37.5% Bloomberg Commodity Index (Total Return)****, and 25% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. TIPS Index. During this period, the Fund was hurt by its underweight to TIPS and overweight to Real Estate, but this was offset by its underweight to Commodities/Other Real Assets.
U.S. inflation-linked bond (“ILB”) markets posted strong returns for the fiscal year as real yields fell across the curve, first due to the end and reversal of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) hiking cycle and then with accelerated rate cuts, and flight to quality as the virus wreaked havoc to risk assets worldwide. ILB’s trailed nominal bonds, however, as already low inflation expectations plummeted in Q1 2020, which saw 10 year inflation expectations fall to 50 basis points inmid-March down from 1.8% to begin the year. The Fund reduced its TIPS exposure to zero on the view that with low nominal yields and little to no inflation for the foreseeable future, forward looking returns for TIPS are not compelling. The Fund’s TIPS exposure trailed the index slightly as TIPS continued to rally after the Fund began reducing its exposure.
Global real estate securities, as measured by the S&P Developed Property Index, were down around 16% for the fiscal year. After a strong 2019, real estate saw a dramatic fall in February and March of 2020, before recovering somewhat in April. The U.S. slightly outperformed international markets as U.S. risk assets continued to outperform foreign assets, and the strong U.S. dollar further hurt international markets. The Fund’s real estate sleeve slightly under-performed the index, as the Fund was overweight international for much of the period and also had some exposure to emerging markets real estate, which trailed developed markets.
Commodities fell over 20% during the fiscal year, with 100% of the losses occurring in the first 4 months of 2020. Energy led the decline, falling over 50%, on virus induced demand shock as well as price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Industrial metals also saw a steep decline on reduced demand. Precious metals were the only positive category, as gold jumped 30%. The Fund’s commodities/ other real assets exposure slightly outperformed the Bloomberg Commodity Index, as its overweight gold more than offset its energy and master limited partnership exposures.
The Fund uses derivatives, which include interest rate/inflation options, interest rate futures, interest rate/inflation swaps, and credit default swaps, to enhance returns of the Fund and to hedge (or protect) against adverse movements in interest rates and movements in the bond markets. During the fiscal year, the Fund’s use of derivatives had a moderately negative impact on the relative performance of the Fund’s exposure to inflation protected securities versus the asset
class benchmark due to swap rates underperforming government cash bond rates, while synthetic credit outperformed cash corporate bonds.

WILMINGTON DIVERSIFIED INCOME FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of-6.17%* for Class A Shares and-5.83%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Russell 1000® Value Index**, Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index**, and the Diversified Blended Index**, which had total returns of-11.01%, 10.84%, and-3.83% respectively.
The Wilmington Diversified Income Fund seeks to achieve a high level of total return consistent with a moderate level of risk, with added emphasis on providing an attractive level of current income. The Fund is diversified across asset classes and geographies, with a philosophy that focuses on strategic positioning, minimizing tactical allocation shifts, and restrained turnover.
The fiscal year began with a market focused on one set of challenges, and ended the year firmly fixated on another. Much of the market’s focus during calendar 2019 revolved around theon-againoff-again progress of the U.S. reaching a phase one trade deal with China. The imposition of tariffs precipitated a drag on global economic activity, and the announcement of a phase one agreement early in the fourth quarter was welcomed by the markets. The deal, coupled with the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) decision to lower rates in the back half of the calendar year, propelled equity markets higher, with the S&P 500, MSCI EAFE, and Russell 1000 Value indices all posting returns for calendar year 2019 that were well north of 20 percent.
Against this backdrop of strength, your Fund posted calendar 2019 returns of 17.42% for Class A Shares and 17.71% for Class I Shares, very strong relative to our long-term expectations for the Fund. Throughout 2019 the market continued to favor the growth investing style to the more value-oriented style of the Fund, a trend that weighed on our peer rankings but did nothing to diminish the strong absolute returns and attractive income level delivered by the strategy. Turn the calendar to 2020 and enter the unseen enemy – COVID-19.
The year 2020 began in relatively uneventful fashion, with the trade agreement largely resolved and the prospect of a presidential election becoming a more significant influence on markets going forward. Early in the quarter, word of a new SARs-like virus impacting China began to garner more headlines. As the aggressive nature of the coronavirus became more apparent and the disease quickly spread to Europe and eventually the U.S., late February proved a time of reckoning. The virus had completed its stealth-like diffusion, successfully setting the stage for an ambush of the global economy.
March witnessed an abrupt and historic cessation of economic activity globally as societies across the world took shelter and looked to bolster the medical capabilities needed to combat this new foe. Your Fund, which is designed to pursue its goals across a normal business cycle provedill-suited to defend in this global pandemic scenario. The sudden halt to global economic activity cast an immediate spotlight on balance sheet strength and, more precisely, cash on hand of businesses. A multitude of companies drew down credit lines to bolster cash positions in hopes of “getting to the other side” of the pandemic. Suspension of dividends (as well as share buybacks)
became commonplace, motivated by a desire to preserve precious cash or, in some cases, as a regulatory imperative given numerous stimulus packages launching globally.
Against this backdrop, several of the Fund’s asset classes that are typically defensive in market downturns were not in theCOVID-19 era. Our dividend-oriented equity strategies, the Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy (“EDIS”) and the iShares International Select Dividend ETF (“IDV”) posted steep declines. In the downturn, IDV lagged the MSCI EAFE Index by a wide margin as the strategy’s overweight to Europe, an active zone for dividend suspensions, and underweight to Japan, which proved more defensive in the downturn, was a poor combination. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), another asset class with traditionally defensive behavior, suffered as cash-strapped consumers and businesses withheld rent and mortgage payments, while numerous office and retail clients failed.
Our overweight to the Wilmington Trust Core Bond allocation was a bright spot during the crisis, as our actively managed fixed income allocation was able to defend in the downturn, deliveringmid-single digit positive returns on ayear-to-date basis, and delivering a double-digit return for the full fiscal year. Portions of the fixed income markets struggled early in the crisis, with some segments of the market essentially frozen due to lack of liquidity. Federal Reserve intervention proved effective, however, providing liquidity and unlocking the broader fixed income market to the benefit of all participants, including our Fund. While high yield fixed income declined in the downturn and posted a negative return for the full fiscal year, the asset class seemed to hold up better than expected, possibly owing to the perception of a Fed backstop.
Summarizing results for the fiscal year versus the Fund’s primary benchmarks, the Fund’s broad diversification helped in limiting the Fund’s downside versus the Russell 1000 Value benchmark but hurt when compared to the double-digit positive return of the more defensive Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund lagged its Diversified Blended Index in the fiscal year primarily due to the aforementioned underperformance of IDV versus the MSCI EAFE Index component of the blended benchmark.
So, what is the path forward? The Fund currently has a large overweight to the Wilmington Trust Core Bond allocation compared to its neutral target weight, ison-target to slightly overweight the domestic equity allocation and is underweight to most other asset classes that comprise the portfolio. Most of these weight differentials are market-driven and reflect the relative performance differential of the asset classes during the sudden market downturn. The Fund is designed to provide stable allocations over time, with minimal turnover. Our process defines three principal motivations to spend turnover: 1) rebalance to targets, 2) mitigate risk, and 3) upgrade holdings. In a typical market environment, the first of these tends to dominate, but in the current environment all three are in play. Moving forward, in a manner consistent with this process, we intend to move toward target weights in measured fashion considering the risk of the individual asset classes and the individual products used to fulfill these allocations. As always, the Fund’s long-term goals will be our compass.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020.
Actual Expenses
This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
The Annualized Net Expense Ratios may be different from the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which are for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.

D | Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floor and caps. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions. |
W | Denotes a restricted security that may be resold without restriction to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the Fund has determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Wilmington Funds
April 30, 2020
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 12 portfolios, 4 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 8 funds are presented in separate reports.
| | |
| |
Fund | | Investment Goal |
Wilmington International Fund (“International Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation primarily through a diversified portfolio ofnon-U.S. equity securities. |
| |
Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund (“Global Alpha Equities Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital with lower volatility than broader equity markets. |
| |
Wilmington Real Asset Fund (“Real Asset Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to achieve long-term preservation of capital with current income. |
| |
Wilmington Diversified Income Fund (“Diversified Income Fund“)(d) | | The Fund seeks a high level of total return consistent with a moderate level of risk. |
The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class are not available for the Funds. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies.” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated and the differences could be material.
Investment Valuation– The Funds utilize a Fair Value approach. The fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:
| • | | for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or theover-the-counter market), if available; |
| • | | in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices; |
| • | | financial futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in theover-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair value; |
| • | | forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices; |
| • | | investments inopen-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”); |
| • | | for fixed income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost provided such amount approximates fair value; |
| • | | price information on listed securities, including underlying Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and Exchange Traded Notes (“ETNs”), is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded; |
| • | | swap agreements are valued daily based upon the terms specific to each agreement with its counterparty; and |
| • | | for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”). |
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing their NAV, the Funds value foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these
April 30, 2020 / ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 64 |
values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Each Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily innon-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, each Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (Systematic International Fair Value Pricing (“SIFVP”)).
The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs and techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs and techniques by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or techniques used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and otheropen-end regulated investment companies) and exchange traded derivatives are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. The Wilmington International Fund, the Wilmington Global Alpha Equities and the Wilmington Real Asset Fund may utilize SIFVP which could result in certain equity securities being categorized as level 2. Fixed income securities,non-exchange traded derivatives and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements– Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting each Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian orsub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian orsub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities, if necessary, to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund.
At April 30, 2020, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions– Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date.Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on theex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.
All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for the Funds, with the exception of the Global Alpha Equities Fund, which is paid annually.
Real Estate Investment Trusts– The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscalyear-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.
Federal Taxes– It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax or excise tax are necessary.
Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Warrants and Rights– Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired.
April 30, 2020 / ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 66 |
Equity-linked warrants are purchased in order to own local exposure to certain countries in which the Funds are not locally registered. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Trustees’ approved fair value procedures.
Foreign Currency Translation– The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Funds do not isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ 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 at period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
Restricted Securities– Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Dollar Roll Transactions –The Diversified Income Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC, in which the Fund sells mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon, maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions, which are treated as purchases and sales, will not exceed 12 months.
Securities Sold Short– Certain Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. To sell a security short, the Fund must borrow the security. The Fund’s obligation to replace the security borrowed and sold short will be fully collateralized at all times by the proceeds from the short sale retained by the broker and by cash and securities deposited in a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will realize a loss, and if the price declines during the period, the Fund will realize a gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any realized loss increased, by the amount of transaction costs. The Funds are required to pay the lender any dividends declared on short positions. Such amounts are recorded on theex-dividend date as dividends expense on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.
In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreement, the Funds may be charged a fee on borrowed securities. Such fees are calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The Funds are required to maintain margin cash balances at the prime broker sufficiently to satisfy their short sales positions on a daily basis. The Funds are charged interest expense at the Fed Funds open rate plus 50 basis points on the amount of any shortfall in the required cash margin. The Funds record these prime broker charges on a net basis as Prime Broker interest expense on securities sold short on the Statements of Operations.
Lending of Portfolio Securities– The Trust has entered into an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Funds. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day.
Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”
The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Funds to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
At April 30, 2020, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

TBA Commitments– “TBA” (to be announced) commitments are commitments to purchase or sell mortgage-backed securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not exceeding 45 days. TBAs may be considered securities in themselves and involve a risk of loss if the value of the TBA changes relative to the Funds’ “basis” in the position prior to the settlement date. Unsettled TBAs are valued according to the procedures described in the section entitled “Investment Valuation.”
3. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by enabling investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Risk of loss on derivatives, including written options, forward foreign currency contracts, financial futures contracts and swaps, may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Options– Certain Funds may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign exchange rates, with respect to securities which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. A Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written. A Fund, as writer of options, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. A Fund, as purchaser ofover-the-counter options, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
The Real Asset Fund used interest rate options and options on swaps to enhance returns, and manage interest rate risk, inflation risk, credit risk and volatility exposures. The Real Asset Fund used foreign currency options as a short or long hedge against possible variations in foreign exchange rates or as a means to gain exposure to foreign currencies.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts– Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency commitments or foreign currency exchange transactions. A Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge a Fund’s securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date. The International Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities. The Real Asset Fund and the Global Alpha Equities Fund entered into forward foreign currency contracts in connection with settling planned purchases or sales of securities, to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the portfolio’s securities or as a means to express a view on the direction of a currency’s value as a part of the broader investment strategy.
Financial Futures Contracts– The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge their existing portfolios, manage cash flows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, and prior to computing its NAV, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 68 |
or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities. The Global Alpha Equities Fund used foreign exchange futures contracts to gain exposure to the foreign currency markets both on a long and short strategy. The Global Alpha Equities Fund also used equity index futures contracts to manage equity market net and gross exposure. The Real Asset Fund used futures contracts to manage interest rate exposure, adjust duration and curve exposure and to gain exposure to foreign interest rates. The Real Asset Fund also used money market futures during the period in order to adjust the portfolio’s interest rate exposure on thefront-end of the yield curve and to adjust the overall duration positioning of the portfolio.
Swap Agreements– Certain Funds may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Portfolio of Investments.
Centrally cleared swap agreements are agreements executed through a broker but are cleared through a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund’s counterparty on the swap becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker and upon entering into a centrally cleared swap is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of a particular swap. Centrally cleared swaps are subject to general market risks and to liquidity risk. Pursuant to the swap agreement, the Fund agrees to pay to or receive from the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the swap (“variation margin”). Such payments are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed or settled at which point the gain or loss is realized.
The Fund may utilize swap agreements in an attempt to gain exposure to the securities in a market without actually purchasing those securities, or to hedge a position.
Interest rate swap agreements– Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to either maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund, to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable. The Real Asset Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Because the portfolio holds fixed rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. To help hedge against this risk and to maintain its ability to generate income at prevailing market rates, the portfolio entered into interest rate swap agreements. Additionally, the portfolio invested in interest rate swaps as a risk-neutral substitute for physical securities, to obtain exposure in markets where no physical securities were available, and to refine the risk exposure in the portfolio (i.e. duration, inflation, credit, maturity mix, etc.).
Credit default swap agreements– Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.
If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are estimated by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.
Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the

specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in acheapest-to deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.
Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Portfolios of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. The Real Asset Fund used credit default swaps on corporate and sovereign issues to take an active long position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default. The Real Asset Fund also used credit default swaps on credit indices to adjust the portfolio’s overall credit exposure.

Certain Funds are parties to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“MA”) with various counterparties that governover-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The ISDA MA may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA MA, collateral posted to each Fund is held in a segregated account by each Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

4. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
As of April 30, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2019, 2018, and 2017, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
For financial reporting purposes, book basis capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest. The reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAVs of the Funds. As of April 30, 2020, the following Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the accounts as listed below:
| | | | |
| | |
Fund | | Paid-in Capital | | Distributable Earnings (Loss) |
Global Alpha Equities Fund | | $96,891 | | $(96,891) |
Real Asset Fund | | 55,065 | | (55,065) |
April 30, 2020 / ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 74 |
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of distributions for the corresponding fiscal year ends were as follows:

Diversified Income Fund | | | | 1,374,464 | | | | | — | | | | | 1,481,925 | | | | | 53,403 | |
| * | For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions. |
As of April 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |

The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
At April 30, 2020, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the (“Code”) and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax.
Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 78 |
Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which a Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known asCOVID-19. The outbreak ofCOVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects ofCOVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, which may have an unpredictable impact on Fund performance.
The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), has announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. The transition process away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition process may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related Fund transactions such as hedges. Volatility, the potential reduction in value, and/or the hedge effectiveness of financial instruments may be heightened for financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that address the cessation of LIBOR. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on any of the Funds or on financial instruments in which a Fund invests, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to a Fund.
9. | CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Trust participates in a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings were charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expired on April 2, 2020.
On April 2, 2020, the Trust entered into an amendment to the credit agreement for a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving LOC. The LOC is to be used as described above and to be operated in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The LOC expires on April 1, 2021.
The Trust did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2020.
11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. This ASU does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has implemented the ASU2017-08 and determined that the impact of this guidance to each Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2020 is not material.
In August 2018, FASB issued an ASU2018-13, (“ASU2018-13”), which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level fair value measurements. The ASU2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASU2018-13 and has elected to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2020-04 (“ASU2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the

period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU2020-04.
12. | OTHER FUND INFORMATION |
At a meeting held on June 5, 2019, the Trustees, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020. PwC affirmed their independence as an independent registered public accounting firm on June 19, 2019. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) audit reports’ on the financial statements of each Fund in the Trust did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trust and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on each Fund’s financial statements.
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Wilmington Funds and Shareholders of Wilmington International Fund, Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington Real Asset Fund and Wilmington Diversified Income Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington International Fund, Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington Real Asset Fund and Wilmington Diversified Income Fund (four of the funds constituting Wilmington Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2020, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of April 30, 2020, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to April 30, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2019 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020 (unaudited)
Board Approval of Liquidity Risk Management Program
To promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the fund industry and to enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The rule requires every registeredopen-end management company to establish a liquidity risk management program that, among other things, provides for the assessment, management and review of liquidity risk, the classification of a fund’s portfolio investments into one of four liquidity buckets based upon the number of days that such investments may reasonably be expected to be converted into cash or otherwise disposed of without significantly impacting their price, the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum where required, and the establishment of a 15% limitation on illiquid investments. Additionally, the Commission adopted Rule30b1-10 and FormN-LIQUID, which generally requires a fund to notify the Commission when certain liquidity-related events occur.
The Wilmington Funds Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the appointment of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (“Liquidity Committee”) as the administrator of the liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) for the Funds on September 6, 2018 and the Funds’ final LRMP on March 5, 2019. At the regular meeting of the Board on March 10, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Operations Officer, as a member of the Liquidity Committee, provided a report to the Board on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP after its first year of operation. The Liquidity Committee managed liquidity risks associated with the Funds’ investments by monitoring cash and cash equivalents, the use of derivatives, the concentration of investments and the appropriateness of portfolio strategies foropen-end funds, and by classifying each investment of a Fund as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of each Fund’s investments, the Liquidity Committee utilized a third party provider of liquidity monitoring services. The Liquidity Committee supplied portfolio-level data and certain assumptions to the provider which then used the information to determine the liquidity classification of each security position held by the Funds. The liquidity classifications as of each month end were reviewed by the Liquidity Committee on at least a quarterly basis and would be reviewed more often if market conditions warranted. For assets managed by a third partysub-adviser the Liquidity Committee would takesub-adviser input into account where appropriate in determining the liquidity classifications.
The LRMP effectively managed the Funds’ liquidity risks for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2020. During this period, each Fund held more than 50% of its total net assets in highly liquid investments and due to the fact that each Fund is deemed to consist primarily of highly liquid investments, no highly liquid investment minimum was required to be established for any Fund. All Funds holding assets deemed to be illiquid were well under the illiquid investment limitation. Additionally, no events occurred that required the filing of FormN-LIQUID.

WilmingtonLarge-Cap Strategy Fund(“Large-Cap Strategy Fund”)

[This Page Intentionally Left Blank]
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), covering the Trust’s annual fiscal year period of May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Trust’s holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Trust’s investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively), have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Trust’s annual fiscal year period.
The economy
The last year brought a tale of two narratives for the global economy. During 2019 the global economy centered on trade, as escalating frictions between the U.S. and China disrupted global supply chains and weighed heavily on sentiment. The announcement of a phase one trade deal between the two sides in October, and progression toward the deal’s completion in December, fueled hopes for the possibility of a cyclical recovery in early 2020. Despite weakness in business investment, a byproduct of the trade war, the U.S. recorded Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.3% (seasonally adjusted) in 2019, thanks to notable strength in consumer spending. Optimism abruptly reversed course in late February of 2020 asCOVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, evolved from an outbreak to a global pandemic. Governments worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures to curb the virus’s spread, relegating consumers to their homes and forcingnon-essential businesses to shutter. With economic activity grinding to a near standstill by the end of March, U.S. GDP declined by 4.8% (seasonally adjusted annualized rate) in the first quarter, providing an early glimpse into what is expected to be a materially weaker second quarter. As demand receded in April, gauges of manufacturing and services activity tumbled into contraction territory, core inflation dropped by a record 0.4% (month-over-month) and the U.S. unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%, its highest level since the Great Depression.
The fiscal and monetary response in the U.S. has been unparalleled historically, in its scale and speed of implementation. After delivering three rate cuts in 2019, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) lowered rates further by a cumulative 150 basis points1 in the first quarter of 2020 and moved to open-ended purchases of Treasuries and agency Mortgage-Backed Securities/Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities. Additionally, the Fed introduced a plethora of accommodations to support financial markets, businesses and governments. The Fed entered uncharted territory by creating new facilities to purchase corporate debt and fixed income ETFs, and later broadened their scope to include segments of the high yield market. The Federal government introduced roughly $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus through three pieces of legislation to provide direct support to consumers, businesses and governments, cushion the pandemic’s economic impact and accelerate the nation’s healthcare response.
Emerging and international developed economies, which are more export dependent than the U.S., were hit particularly hard by the trade war in 2019, with the global manufacturing sector moving into contraction in the third quarter, before showing signs of life towards the end of the year. A cyclical rebound appeared to be picking up steam in China, beforeCOVID-19 emerged in its central province of Wuhan. As the first economy affected, China offered a preview to the rest of the world of the virus’s potential impact. After GDP growth decelerated in 2019, to its slowest pace in 30 years, China registered a record decline in the first quarter 2020. The Euro zone and UK economies suffered a tremendous economic toll as countrywide lockdown orders were set into motion and GDP contracted in the first quarter. Central banks outside the U.S. followed the Fed’s lead, in introducing record volumes of accommodation, while the fiscal response across international economies has been massive in scale.
Bond markets
The 2019 calendar year marked a strong period for bond markets, particularly for investment grade corporates, which posted their best annual performance since 2002 as rates fell precipitously and spreads compressed to near decade lows. However, the first quarter of 2020 brought one of the most volatile quarters in recent memory as theCOVID-19 pandemic challenged corporate balance sheets and severely hampered liquidity. Taxable corporate credit spreads (interest rate in excess of the risk-free rate) and the ratio of high gradetax-exempt yields to Treasuries of equivalent maturity surged to decade highs. The10-year Treasury yield plummeted to anall-time low as the Federal Reserve slashed rates to zero and investors sought safety. The Federal Reserve moved to open-ended quantitative easing and arranged a broad menu of facilities to enhance market liquidity and expand access to credit. The Fed’s pledge to provide direct support to corporate bond markets, for the first time in history, helped drive taxable spreads materially lower and boosted performance through the end of April. The energy sector weighed heavily on performance for corporates as the price of oil plunged to a historic record low. The more vulnerable high yield sector saw fundamentals deteriorate asymmetrically and lagged high grade peers in therisk-off environment.

Equity markets
The past year brought a continuation of the predominant equity market trends observed in the second half of 2018, namely the dominance of U.S. over international equities, developed over emerging markets, growth over value and large over small cap. U.S. large cap equities capped off their second best annual performance of the decade in the 2019 calendar year and benefitted from corporate earnings that came in better than feared, supportive monetary policy and trade optimism from October through January. International developed and emerging market equities, which are more leveraged to global trade, suffered disproportionately throughout theUS-China tariff disaster, while persistent dollar strength and investors’ preference for safe-haven assets presented additional headwinds for the international group. Risk appetite prevailed through January but was abruptly derailed as theCOVID-19 outbreak escalated rapidly to a global pandemic and brought the longest bull market in history to a painful end. The selloff that transpired from February to late March was indiscriminate, affecting all regions with unsettling speed and magnitude, although winners and losers emerged during the subsequent rebound from March lows. Notably, U.S. small cap companies, which are more cyclical in nature, bore the brunt of the selloff, as the pandemic introduced a punishing blow to economic activity.Mega-cap technology stocks emerged as relative safe havens and proved more resilient than the broader market with earnings less impacted by the economic damage.
For the12-month period May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, certain stock market indices performed as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | |
S&P 500 Index8 | | Russell 2000 Index9 | | MSCI EAFE (Net) Index10 | | MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index11 |

WILMINGTONLARGE-CAP STRATEGY FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, WilmingtonLarge-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 0.09%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000® Index**, which had a total return of 0.09%.
The sector positioning of the Fund added approximately 25 basis points of performance versus the Russell 1000® gross of fees. Over the last year, the Fund has generally had apro-cyclical view of the market with over-weighted positions in the technology, consumer discretionary, financials, industrials, energy, communication services and healthcare sectors and underweights to the more defensive utilities, consumer staples, and real estate sectors. The overweight positions in financials, healthcare and communications services more than offset the underperformance of the utilities and consumer staples sectors which were underweight over this time period.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to 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. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020.
Actual Expenses
This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
The Annualized Net Expense Ratios may be different from the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended April 30, 2020.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the most recentone-half year period). |

Wilmington Funds
April 30, 2020
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 12 portfolios, 1 of which is presented herein (referred to as the “Fund”). The remaining 11 funds are presented in separate reports.
| | |
| |
Fund | | Investment Goal |
WilmingtonLarge-Cap Strategy Fund(“Large-Cap Strategy Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. |
(d) Diversified
The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class are not available for the Fund. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies.” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated and the differences could be material.
Investment Valuation– The Fund utilizes a fair value approach. The Fair Value of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:
| • | for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or theover-the-counter market), if available; |
| • | in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices; |
| • | investments inopen-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”); |
| • | for fixed income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, provided such amount approximates fair value; and |
| • | for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”). |
Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. In determining whether market quotations are readily available or fair valuation will be used, various factors will be taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. Each Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily innon-US markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00pm Eastern time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. Whenever such a significant event occurs, each Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (Systematic International Fair Value Pricing (“SIFVP”)).
The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs and techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs and techniques by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or techniques used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Pursuant to the Fund’s fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and otheropen-end regulated investment companies) and exchange traded derivatives are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. The Fund may utilize SIFVP which could result in certain equity securities being categorized as Level 2. Fixed income securities,non-exchange traded derivatives and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements- Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sellthe security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is the Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Fund’s custodian orsub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian orsub-custodian in which the Fund holds a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Fund has established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities, if necessary, to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Fund to receive less than the full repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.
At April 30, 2020, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions– Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date.Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on theex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.
Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly.
Real Estate Investment Trusts –The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated withinvesting in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscalyear-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

25 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
Federal Taxes– It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the“Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all its income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax or excise tax are necessary.
Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Warrants and Rights– The Fund may hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Fund until exercised, sold or expired. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Trustees’ approved fair value procedures.
Lending of Portfolio Securities– The Trust has entered into an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend securitiesowned by the Fund to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with its custodian, the Fund receives a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Fund on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Fund are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.
Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolio of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”
The Fund maintains the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.
At April 30, 2020, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(2) Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default. | |
3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
As of April 30, 2020, there were no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition or disclosure. The Fund’s federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2019, 2018, and 2017, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
For financial reporting purposes, book basis capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest. The reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAVs of the Funds. As of April 30, 2020, there were no reclassifications.
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The tax character of distributions for the corresponding fiscal year ends were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 26 |
As of April 30, 2020 the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
Fund | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | Other Timing Differences | | Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation) | | Capital Loss Carryforwards | | Late Year Loss Deferrals |
Large-Cap Strategy Fund | | $784,193 | | $18,603,864 | | $— | | $246,879,849 | | $— | | $— |
The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund is permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At April 30, 2020, the Fund had no losses deferred to May 1, 2020.
4. | ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS |

Purchases and sales of securities for the Fund (excluding U.S. Government and agency securities, and short-term securities) during the year ended April 30, 2020 were $131,356,962 and $187,014,221, respectively.
Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which a Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments.
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known asCOVID-19. The outbreak ofCOVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects ofCOVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, which may have an unpredictable impact on Fund performance.
7. | CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS |
In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Fund in the future, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Trust participates in a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings were charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expired on April 2, 2020.

The Trust did not utilize the LOC during the year ended April 30, 2020.
9. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update2018-13, (the “ASU”), which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASUNo. 2018-13 and has elected to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2020-04 (“ASU2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU2020-04.
10. | OTHER FUND INFORMATION |
At a meeting held on June 5, 2019, the Trustees, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020. PwC affirmed their independence as an independent registered public accounting firm on June 19, 2019. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) audit reports’ on the financial statements of each Fund in the Trust did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trust and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on each Fund’s financial statements.
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements through this date.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Wilmington Funds and Shareholders of WilmingtonLarge-Cap Strategy Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of WilmingtonLarge-Cap Strategy Fund (one of the funds constituting Wilmington Funds, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of April 30, 2020, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of April 30, 2020, and the results of its operations, changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Fund as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to April 30, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Board Approval of Liquidity Risk Management Program
To promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the fund industry and to enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The rule requires every registeredopen-end management company to establish a liquidity risk management program that, among other things, provides for the assessment, management and review of liquidity risk, the classification of a fund’s portfolio investments into one of four liquidity buckets based upon the number of days that such investments may reasonably be expected to be converted into cash or otherwise disposed of without significantly impacting their price, the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum where required, and the establishment of a 15% limitation on illiquid investments. Additionally, the Commission adopted Rule30b1-10 and FormN-LIQUID, which generally requires a fund to notify the Commission when certain liquidity-related events occur.
The Wilmington Funds Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the appointment of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (“Liquidity Committee”) as the administrator of the liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) for the Funds on September 6, 2018 and the Funds’ final LRMP on March 5, 2019. At the regular meeting of the Board on March 10, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Operations Officer, as a member of the Liquidity Committee, provided a report to the Board on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP after its first year of operation. The Liquidity Committee managed liquidity risks associated with the Funds’ investments by monitoring cash and cash equivalents, the use of derivatives, the concentration of investments and the appropriateness of portfolio strategies foropen-end funds, and by classifying each investment of a Fund as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of each Fund’s investments, the Liquidity Committee utilized a third party provider of liquidity monitoring services. The Liquidity Committee supplied portfolio-level data and certain assumptions to the provider which then used the information to determine the liquidity classification of each security position held by the Funds. The liquidity classifications as of each month end were reviewed by the Liquidity Committee on at least a quarterly basis and would be reviewed more often if market conditions warranted. For assets managed by a third partysub-adviser the Liquidity Committee would takesub-adviser input into account where appropriate in determining the liquidity classifications.
The LRMP effectively managed the Funds’ liquidity risks for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2020. During this period, each Fund held more than 50% of its total net assets in highly liquid investments and due to the fact that each Fund is deemed to consist primarily of highly liquid investments, no highly liquid investment minimum was required to be established for any Fund. All Funds holding assets deemed to be illiquid were well under the illiquid investment limitation. Additionally, no events occurred that required the filing of FormN-LIQUID.

Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), covering the Trust’s annual fiscal year period of May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Trust’s holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Trust’s investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively), have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Trust’s annual fiscal year period.
The economy
The last year brought a tale of two narratives for the global economy. During 2019 the global economy centered on trade, as escalating frictions between the U.S. and China disrupted global supply chains and weighed heavily on sentiment. The announcement of a phase one trade deal between the two sides in October, and progression toward the deal’s completion in December, fueled hopes for the possibility of a cyclical recovery in early 2020. Despite weakness in business investment, a byproduct of the trade war, the U.S. recorded Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.3% (seasonally adjusted) in 2019, thanks to notable strength in consumer spending. Optimism abruptly reversed course in late February of 2020 as COVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, evolved from an outbreak to a global pandemic. Governments worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures to curb the virus’s spread, relegating consumers to their homes and forcing non-essential businesses to shutter. With economic activity grinding to a near standstill by the end of March, U.S. GDP declined by 4.8% (seasonally adjusted annualized rate) in the first quarter, providing an early glimpse into what is expected to be a materially weaker second quarter. As demand receded in April, gauges of manufacturing and services activity tumbled into contraction territory, core inflation dropped by a record 0.4% (month-over-month) and the U.S. unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%, its highest level since the Great Depression.
The fiscal and monetary response in the U.S. has been unparalleled historically, in its scale and speed of implementation. After delivering three rate cuts in 2019, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) lowered rates further by a cumulative 150 basis points1 in the first quarter of 2020 and moved to open-ended purchases of Treasuries and agency Mortgage-Backed Securities/Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities. Additionally, the Fed introduced a plethora of accommodations to support financial markets, businesses and governments. The Fed entered uncharted territory by creating new facilities to purchase corporate debt and fixed income ETFs, and later broadened their scope to include segments of the high yield market. The Federal government introduced roughly $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus through three pieces of legislation to provide direct support to consumers, businesses and governments, cushion the pandemic’s economic impact and accelerate the nation’s healthcare response.
Emerging and international developed economies, which are more export dependent than the U.S., were hit particularly hard by the trade war in 2019, with the global manufacturing sector moving into contraction in the third quarter, before showing signs of life towards the end of the year. A cyclical rebound appeared to be picking up steam in China, before COVID-19 emerged in its central province of Wuhan. As the first economy affected, China offered a preview to the rest of the world of the virus’s potential impact. After GDP growth decelerated in 2019, to its slowest pace in 30 years, China registered a record decline in the first quarter 2020. The Euro zone and UK economies suffered a tremendous economic toll as countrywide lockdown orders were set into motion and GDP contracted in the first quarter. Central banks outside the U.S. followed the Fed’s lead, in introducing record volumes of accommodation, while the fiscal response across international economies has been massive in scale.
Bond markets
The 2019 calendar year marked a strong period for bond markets, particularly for investment grade corporates, which posted their best annual performance since 2002 as rates fell precipitously and spreads compressed to near decade lows. However, the first quarter of 2020 brought one of the most volatile quarters in recent memory as the COVID-19 pandemic challenged corporate balance sheets and severely hampered liquidity. Taxable corporate credit spreads (interest rate in excess of the risk-free rate) and the ratio of high grade tax-exempt yields to Treasuries of equivalent maturity surged to decade highs. The 10-year Treasury yield plummeted to an all-time low as the Federal Reserve slashed rates to zero and investors sought safety. The Federal Reserve moved to open-ended quantitative easing and arranged a broad menu of facilities to enhance market liquidity and expand access to credit. The Fed’s pledge to provide direct support to corporate bond markets, for the first time in history, helped drive taxable spreads materially lower and boosted performance through the end of April. The energy sector weighed heavily on performance for corporates as the price of oil plunged to a historic record low. The more vulnerable high yield sector saw fundamentals deteriorate asymmetrically and lagged high grade peers in the risk-off environment.

Equity markets
The past year brought a continuation of the predominant equity market trends observed in the second half of 2018, namely the dominance of U.S. over international equities, developed over emerging markets, growth over value and large over small cap. U.S. large cap equities capped off their second best annual performance of the decade in the 2019 calendar year and benefitted from corporate earnings that came in better than feared, supportive monetary policy and trade optimism from October through January. International developed and emerging market equities, which are more leveraged to global trade, suffered disproportionately throughout the US-China tariff disaster, while persistent dollar strength and investors’ preference for safe-haven assets presented additional headwinds for the international group. Risk appetite prevailed through January but was abruptly derailed as the COVID-19 outbreak escalated rapidly to a global pandemic and brought the longest bull market in history to a painful end. The selloff that transpired from February to late March was indiscriminate, affecting all regions with unsettling speed and magnitude, although winners and losers emerged during the subsequent rebound from March lows. Notably, U.S. small cap companies, which are more cyclical in nature, bore the brunt of the selloff, as the pandemic introduced a punishing blow to economic activity. Mega-cap technology stocks emerged as relative safe havens and proved more resilient than the broader market with earnings less impacted by the economic damage.
For the 12-month period May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index performance quoted is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of any specific investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss.
All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Equity Securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
High-yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit, and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

WILMINGTON BROAD MARKET BOND FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 9.35%* for Class A Shares and 9.74%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, which had a total return of 10.84%, and its peer group, the Lipper CorporateA-Rated Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 9.95%.
We understand the growing concern associated with the pandemic and its effect on the global economy and in the towns that we live and work. Our thoughts are with those that have been infected by the coronavirus. We are grateful for all the health care workers that are serving our communities. Your fixed income team is meeting “virtually” daily to review current events and set strategy. We continue to utilize our disciplined relative value investment process. We continue to emphasize our guiding philosophies of maintaining well diversified and liquid portfolios. We continue to conduct our own independent credit analysis. Most importantly in these uncertain times we draw upon our experienced team. As always, our disciplined risk management efforts guide our investment decisions.
Prior to the pandemic the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) had cut interest rates three times in 2019. These were the first rate cuts since the financial crisis. The Fed had acknowledged that the trade tensions between China and the United States were causing weak global economic growth and inflation pressures were muted. The Fed wanted some insurance to keep the longest economic expansion going.
As the pandemic spread around the globe leading to “stay at home orders” the economy experienced its worst crisis since the great depression. The unemployment rate rose from a 50 year low to 14.7% as 20.5 million jobs were destroyed in April. As businesses closed and consumers stayed home retail sales fell by a staggering 16.4% in April after falling by 8.3% in March. In response to the economic crisis the Fed has cut interest rates to zero and provided liquidity to the treasury, mortgage backed, commercial paper and asset backed markets just as it did during the financial crisis. The Fed also announced on March 23rd that they will begin buying corporate and municipal bonds, which the Fed did not undertake during the financial crisis. Congress has also provided several stimulus programs to ease the economic pain.
Interest rates declined rapidly in response to the Fed cutting interest rates. The unparalleled “flight to quality” led to record low treasury yields. The 2-year treasury yield fell by 2% over the past year to a yield of 0.2%. The 10-year treasury yield sank to an all-time low of 0.31% in March before rising to a yield of 0.64% on April 30. The total return of the 10-year treasury bond was 20% for the fiscal year while the 30-year treasury bond returned 45% as inflation expectations declined as oil prices plummeted from $64 a year ago to $19 per barrel on a price war started by Saudi Arabia and as demand evaporated as the world was told to stay home.
The corporate sector severely underperformed. For the fiscal year the sector produced -7% of excess return. March was the worst performing month ever for the corporate sector surpassing the prior worst month of September 2008. The underperformance can be attributed to expectations of global recession, the collapse of oil prices, fears of credit rating downgrades and a spike in bankruptcies. The
sector did rebound somewhat in April in response to the Fed announcing they will begin supporting the market. The average risk premium for the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Investment Grade Corporate Index**** widened from a low of 93 basis points at year end 2019 to a high of 373 basis points before ending at 202 basis points on April 30.
Looking forward the expectation is for the Fed to maintain a zero-interest rate policy until the economy recovers from the pandemic. The market is anticipating no change in the Fed Funds target before 2023. Longer term interest rates will be determined by news of a vaccine and whether the economy starts to recover. The corporate sector should benefit from the Fed’s bond buying program.
The Fund’s performance versus the peer group and index can be attributed to the Fund maintaining a shorter duration than the peer group which has funds with a duration that are twice the Fund’s duration. We also maintained a duration that was shorter than the index for most of the fiscal year. Our yield curve strategy of maintaining an equal allocation to the longer end of the yield curve aided performance as this portion of the yield curve outperformed. Our overweight allocation to the corporate sector also detracted from performance versus the index as the corporate sector underperformed.

WILMINGTON INTERMEDIATE-TERM BOND FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 6.49%* for Class A Shares, and 6.92%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 8.18% and its peer group, the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 4.03%.

The market is anticipating no change in the Fed Funds target before 2023. Longer term interest rates will be determined by news of a vaccine and whether the economy starts to recover. The corporate sector should benefit from the Fed’s bond buying program. Despite significantly outperforming the peer group, the Fund did perform below its benchmark. This is mostly attributable to sector allocation as the Fund was overweight corporate bonds. As described above, corporate bonds meaningfully underperformed over the time period primarily due to the economic fallout from the COVID-19 crisis. In addition, the Fund’s underweight position in Treasuries relative to the benchmark also contributed to under-performance. The price of Treasury Bonds increased significantly as the Fed lowered rates to combat the economic impact of the virus.
The Fund maintains a significant overweight to corporate bonds. Price dislocations during the month of March have partially corrected in April as the Fed has implemented programs to support the credit markets. As economic activity increases, we expect credit spreads (interest rate in excess of the risk-free rate) will move tighter. Duration positioning is neutral, and the Fund maintains a slight overweight to the 7-10 year part of the yield curve.

The price of Treasury Bonds increased significantly as the Fed lowered rates to combat the economic impact of the virus.
Over the fiscal year the primary driver of the Fund’s relative performance to the Index came from its overweight in corporate securities. The historically volatile period over the final fiscal quarter resulted in a very challenging environment for the corporate bond market. The Fund had significantly more of its market value invested in corporate bonds versus the Index. While the Fund’s overall duration emanating from the corporate sector was greater relative to the Index, its duration contrition overweight was significantly less than its market value overweight, ameliorating its underperformance to the Index. Conversely the Fund was significantly underweighted in the best performing sector: U.S. Treasuries and U.S. Government agencies. However, relative to the Fund’s peer group, the Fund’s more defensive positioning in the corporate bond market was the primary driver to excess peer group returns. In addition, the Fund had a greater position in more liquid fixed income securities than the peer group.

WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL BOND FUND
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.36%* for Class A Shares and -0.10%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, which had a total return of 2.54%, and its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 0.58%.
Strong fund flows, lower rates and a stable credit environment drove municipal fixed income returns throughout 2019 and into early 2020. The S&P Municipal Bond Index generated a strong return of 4.00% from May 1 to December 31, 2019 compared to 2.70% for the same period in 2018. While returns were strongest early in 2019, every month but September contributed positive performance.
In the first four months of 2020, the municipal market witnessed historical levels of volatility. January and February experienced traditional municipal returns and new inflows from investors looking to take advantage of the high level of credit quality and after-tax income and returns that municipals provide. As effects of the COVID-19 pandemic began to creep up on the equity and Treasury markets in early March, the municipal market began to experience selling pressure. Shareholders began to redeem shares in investment-grade and high-yield mutual funds and exchange-traded funds on March 11 and continued through the end of the quarter, reaching approximately $30 billion in total outflows for the month, according to Lipper. Outflows over this three-week period were the fastest and most sudden in municipal history. By the end of March, the S&P Municipal Bond Index returned -3.30% for the month and -0.58% year to date with the index yield rising 0.73% in March to 2.10%.
April results steadied somewhat with fund outflows slower but still high at -$16.6 billion for the month as federal stimulus and Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) lending programs restored some confidence to the municipal market. The S&P Municipal Bond Index return remained negative at -1.20%, bringing four-month returns through April 30th to -1.70%.
One market-wide measure of valuation is to compare the yield on AAA-rated municipals to the yield available on a Treasury maturing in the same timeframe. Generally, tax-exempt municipal yields trade at a discount to U.S. Treasuries due to the preferential tax treatment. On December 31 the five-year AAA municipal bond yielded 66% compared to the five-year U.S. Treasury. Market volatility and the global flight to quality brought the U.S. Treasury much lower at the end of March. The yield on a five-year AAA bond was 300% of the five-year U.S. Treasury on March 31 (the five-year AAA municipal yield was 1.15% compared to the five-year U.S. Treasury, which yielded 0.38%). April saw some tightening with the five-year AAA municipal bond at 291% of the five-year U.S. Treasury.
While we expect continued recovery in the municipal market, the depth and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak will remain the key determinant of market direction.
Fiscal year return performance for the Fund’s Class I Shares of -0.10% was below the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index return of 2.54%. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated bonds and credit sectors such as higher education, healthcare and industrial development bonds drove much of the underperformance for the year, mostly in the months of March and April 2020. The ensuing flight to
quality in the municipal market after the March volatility has caused the credit spreads between these kinds of credits to remain wide versus recent averages.
The Fund’s Class I Shares fiscal year return of -0.10% slightly under-performed relative to the Lipper peer group return of 0.58%. The underperformance was due mostly to the overweight to BBB-rated bonds and credit sectors mentioned above.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.
High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.
Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect fund shares against market risk.
Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in short-term interest rates could cause a decline in bond prices.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020.
Actual Expenses
This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for
Comparison Purposes
This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
The Annualized Net Expense Ratios may be different from the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which are for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.

(3) | For financial reporting purposes, the Credit Quality Diversification table reflects the lowest rating assigned by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard and Poor’s if the ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by either rating agency and do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

(3) | For financial reporting purposes, the Credit Quality Diversification table reflects the lowest rating assigned by either Moody’s Investors Service or Standard and Poor’s if the ratings differ. These rating agencies are independent, nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and are widely used. Investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BBB/Baa or higher. Below investment grade ratings are credit ratings of BB/Ba or lower. Investments designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by either rating agency and do not necessarily indicate low credit quality. Credit quality ratings are subject to change. |

Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class are not available for the Funds. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies.” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated and the differences could be material.
Investment Valuation– The Funds utilize a Fair Value approach. The fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:
•investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);
•for fixed income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost provided such amount approximates fair value; and
•for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees (“Trustees”).
The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs and techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs and techniques by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or techniques used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, investments in open-end regulated investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements– Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting each Fund’s return on the
ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020
| | |

transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities, if necessary, to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund.
At April 30, 2020, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1)The amount of collateral reflected in the table does not include any over-collateralization received by the Fund.
(2)Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions– Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.
April 30, 2020 / ANNUAL REPORT

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 68 |
All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Federal Taxes– It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax or excise tax are necessary.
Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions –The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
Restricted Securities– Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Funds’ restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.
Dollar Roll Transactions –The Intermediate-Term Bond Fund and Broad Market Bond Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC, in which the Funds sell mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon, maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions, which are treated as purchases and sales, will not exceed 12 months. There were no dollar roll transactions outstanding during the year ended April 30, 2020.
Lending of Portfolio Securities– The Trust has entered into an agreement with its custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Funds. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Funds and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds on the next business day.
Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”
The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Funds to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Funds.
At April 30, 2020, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Securities on Loan | | | Cash Collateral Received(1) | | | Net Exposure(2) |

3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
As of April 30, 2020 there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
For financial reporting purposes, book basis capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest. The reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAVs of the Funds. As of April 30, 2020, there were no reclassifications.
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The tax character of distributions for the corresponding fiscal year ends were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | |

The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.
At April 30, 2020 the following Fund had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce the Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the (“Code”) and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax.

Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which a Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, which may have an unpredictable impact on Fund performance.
The value of the Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the US states or territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons, and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund.

The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), has announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. The transition process away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition process may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related Fund transactions such as hedges. Volatility, the potential reduction in value, and/or the hedge effectiveness of financial instruments may be heightened for financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that address the cessation of LIBOR. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on any of the Funds or on financial instruments in which a Fund invests, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to a Fund.
9. | CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Trust participates in a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings were charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expired on April 2, 2020.
On April 2, 2020, the Trust entered into an amendment to the credit agreement for a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving LOC. The LOC is to be used as described above and to be operated in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The LOC expires on April 1, 2021.
The Trust did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2020.
11. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities which amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, shortening such period to the earliest call date. This ASU does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management has implemented the ASU 2017-08 and determined that the impact of this guidance to each Fund’s net assets at April 30, 2020 is not material.
In August 2018, FASB issued an ASU 2018-13, (“ASU 2018-13”), which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU 2018-13, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level fair value measurements. The ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASU 2018-13 and has elected to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 (“ASU 2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from

the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU 2020-04.
12. | OTHER FUND INFORMATION |
At a meeting held on June 5, 2019, the Trustees, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020. PwC affirmed their independence as an independent registered public accounting firm on June 19, 2019. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) audit reports’ on the financial statements of each Fund in the Trust did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trust and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on each Fund’s financial statements.
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.
ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Wilmington Funds and Shareholders of Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (five of the funds constituting Wilmington Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2020, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of April 30, 2020, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to April 30, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2019 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020 (unaudited)
Board Approval of Liquidity Risk Management Program
To promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the fund industry and to enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The rule requires every registered open-end management company to establish a liquidity risk management program that, among other things, provides for the assessment, management and review of liquidity risk, the classification of a fund’s portfolio investments into one of four liquidity buckets based upon the number of days that such investments may reasonably be expected to be converted into cash or otherwise disposed of without significantly impacting their price, the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum where required, and the establishment of a 15% limitation on illiquid investments. Additionally, the Commission adopted Rule 30b1-10 and Form N-LIQUID, which generally requires a fund to notify the Commission when certain liquidity-related events occur.
The Wilmington Funds Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the appointment of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (“Liquidity Committee”) as the administrator of the liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) for the Funds on September 6, 2018 and the Funds’ final LRMP on March 5, 2019. At the regular meeting of the Board on March 10, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Operations Officer, as a member of the Liquidity Committee, provided a report to the Board on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP after its first year of operation. The Liquidity Committee managed liquidity risks associated with the Funds’ investments by monitoring cash and cash equivalents, the use of derivatives, the concentration of investments and the appropriateness of portfolio strategies for open-end funds, and by classifying each investment of a Fund as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of each Fund’s investments, the Liquidity Committee utilized a third party provider of liquidity monitoring services. The Liquidity Committee supplied portfolio-level data and certain assumptions to the provider which then used the information to determine the liquidity classification of each security position held by the Funds. The liquidity classifications as of each month end were reviewed by the Liquidity Committee on at least a quarterly basis and would be reviewed more often if market conditions warranted. For assets managed by a third party sub-adviser the Liquidity Committee would take sub-adviser input into account where appropriate in determining the liquidity classifications.
The LRMP effectively managed the Funds’ liquidity risks for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2020. During this period, each Fund held more than 50% of its total net assets in highly liquid investments and due to the fact that each Fund is deemed to consist primarily of highly liquid investments, no highly liquid investment minimum was required to be established for any Fund. All Funds holding assets deemed to be illiquid were well under the illiquid investment limitation. Additionally, no events occurred that required the filing of Form N-LIQUID.

Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), covering the Trust’s annual fiscal year period of May 1, 2019, through April 30, 2020. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Trust’s holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Trust’s investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively), have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Trust’s annual fiscal year period.
The economy
The last year brought a tale of two narratives for the global economy. During 2019 the global economy centered on trade, as escalating frictions between the U.S. and China disrupted global supply chains and weighed heavily on sentiment. The announcement of a phase one trade deal between the two sides in October, and progression toward the deal’s completion in December, fueled hopes for the possibility of a cyclical recovery in early 2020. Despite weakness in business investment, a byproduct of the trade war, the U.S. recorded Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.3% (seasonally adjusted) in 2019, thanks to notable strength in consumer spending. Optimism abruptly reversed course in late February of 2020 asCOVID-19, the infectious disease caused by the most recently discovered coronavirus, evolved from an outbreak to a global pandemic. Governments worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures to curb the virus’s spread, relegating consumers to their homes and forcingnon-essential businesses to shutter. With economic activity grinding to a near standstill by the end of March, U.S. GDP declined by 4.8% (seasonally adjusted annualized rate) in the first quarter, providing an early glimpse into what is expected to be a materially weaker second quarter. As demand receded in April, gauges of manufacturing and services activity tumbled into contraction territory, core inflation dropped by a record 0.4% (month-over-month) and the U.S. unemployment rate spiked to 14.7%, its highest level since the Great Depression.
The fiscal and monetary response in the U.S. has been unparalleled historically, in its scale and speed of implementation. After delivering three rate cuts in 2019, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) lowered rates further by a cumulative 150 basis points1 in the first quarter of 2020 and moved to open-ended purchases of Treasuries and agency Mortgage-Backed Securities/Collateralized Mortgage-Backed Securities. Additionally, the Fed introduced a plethora of accommodations to support financial markets, businesses and governments. The Fed entered uncharted territory by creating new facilities to purchase corporate debt and fixed income ETFs, and later broadened their scope to include segments of the high yield market. The Federal government introduced roughly $3 trillion of fiscal stimulus through three pieces of legislation to provide direct support to consumers, businesses and governments, cushion the pandemic’s economic impact and accelerate the nation’s healthcare response.
Emerging and international developed economies, which are more export dependent than the U.S., were hit particularly hard by the trade war in 2019, with the global manufacturing sector moving into contraction in the third quarter, before showing signs of life towards the end of the year. A cyclical rebound appeared to be picking up steam in China, beforeCOVID-19 emerged in its central province of Wuhan. As the first economy affected, China offered a preview to the rest of the world of the virus’s potential impact. After GDP growth decelerated in 2019, to its slowest pace in 30 years, China registered a record decline in the first quarter 2020. The Euro zone and UK economies suffered a tremendous economic toll as countrywide lockdown orders were set into motion and GDP contracted in the first quarter. Central banks outside the U.S. followed the Fed’s lead, in introducing record volumes of accommodation, while the fiscal response across international economies has been massive in scale.
Bond markets
The 2019 calendar year marked a strong period for bond markets, particularly for investment grade corporates, which posted their best annual performance since 2002 as rates fell precipitously and spreads compressed to near decade lows. However, the first quarter of 2020 brought one of the most volatile quarters in recent memory as theCOVID-19 pandemic challenged corporate balance sheets and severely hampered liquidity. Taxable corporate credit spreads (interest rate in excess of the risk-free rate) and the ratio of high gradetax-exempt yields to Treasuries of equivalent maturity surged to decade highs. The10-year Treasury yield plummeted to anall-time low as the Federal Reserve slashed rates to zero and investors sought safety. The Federal Reserve moved to open-ended quantitative easing and arranged a broad menu of facilities to enhance market liquidity and expand access to credit. The Fed’s pledge to provide direct support to corporate bond markets, for the first time in history, helped drive taxable spreads materially lower and boosted performance through the end of April. The energy sector weighed heavily on performance for corporates as the price of oil plunged to a historic record low. The more vulnerable high yield sector saw fundamentals deteriorate asymmetrically and lagged high grade peers in therisk-off environment.

Equity markets
The past year brought a continuation of the predominant equity market trends observed in the second half of 2018, namely the dominance of U.S. over international equities, developed over emerging markets, growth over value and large over small cap. U.S. large cap equities capped off their second best annual performance of the decade in the 2019 calendar year and benefitted from corporate earnings that came in better than feared, supportive monetary policy and trade optimism from October through January. International developed and emerging market equities, which are more leveraged to global trade, suffered disproportionately throughout theUS-China tariff disaster, while persistent dollar strength and investors’ preference for safe-haven assets presented additional headwinds for the international group. Risk appetite prevailed through January but was abruptly derailed as theCOVID-19 outbreak escalated rapidly to a global pandemic and brought the longest bull market in history to a painful end. The selloff that transpired from February to late March was indiscriminate, affecting all regions with unsettling speed and magnitude, although winners and losers emerged during the subsequent rebound from March lows. Notably, U.S. small cap companies, which are more cyclical in nature, bore the brunt of the selloff, as the pandemic introduced a punishing blow to economic activity.Mega-cap technology stocks emerged as relative safe havens and proved more resilient than the broader market with earnings less impacted by the economic damage.
For the12-month period May 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index performance quoted is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of any specific investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss.
All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Equity Securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- andmid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility thanlarge-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility. These risks are magnified in emerging markets.
High-yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit, and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.
You could lose money by investing in the money market funds. Although the money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in money market funds is not a deposit of M&T Bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The investment advisor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the investment advisor will provide financial support to the Fund at any time.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
We understand the growing concern associated with the pandemic and its effect on the global economy and in the towns that we live and work. Our thoughts are with those that have been infected by the coronavirus. We are grateful for all the health care workers that are serving our communities. Your fixed income team is meeting “virtually” daily to review current events and set strategy. We continue to utilize our disciplined relative value investment process. We continue to emphasize our guiding philosophies of maintaining well diversified and liquid portfolios. We continue to conduct our own independent credit analysis. Most importantly in these uncertain times we draw upon our experienced team. As always, our disciplined risk management efforts guide our investment decisions.
Prior to the pandemic the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) had cut interest rates three times in 2019. These were the first rate cuts since the financial crisis. The Fed had acknowledged that the trade tensions between China and the United States were causing weak global economic growth and inflation pressures were muted. The Fed wanted some insurance to keep the longest economic expansion going.
As the pandemic spread around the globe leading to “stay at home orders” the economy experienced its worst crisis since the great depression. The unemployment rate rose from a 50 year low to 14.7% as 20.5 million jobs were destroyed in April. As businesses closed and consumers stayed home retail sales fell by a staggering 16.4% in April after falling by 8.3% in March. In response to the economic crisis the Fed has cut interest rates to zero and provided liquidity to the treasury, mortgage backed, commercial paper and asset backed markets just as it did during the financial crisis. The Fed also announced on March 23rd that they will begin buying corporate and municipal bonds, which the Fed did not undertake during the financial crisis. Congress has also provided several stimulus programs to ease the economic pain.
Interest rates declined rapidly in response to the Fed cutting interest rates. The unparalleled “flight to quality” led to record low treasury yields. The2-year treasury yield fell by 2% over the past year to a yield of 0.2%. The10-year treasury yield sank to anall-time low of 0.31% in March before rising to a yield of 0.64% on April 30.
Looking forward the expectation is for the Fed to maintain azero-interest rate policy until the economy recovers from the pandemic. The market is anticipating no change in the Fed Funds target before 2023. Longer term interest rates will be determined by news of a vaccine and whether the economy starts to recover.
The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus with this and other information may be obtained by calling1-800-836-2211 or visiting the Funds’ web site at www.wilmingtonfunds.com. The prospectus should be read before investing.
The Funds’ shares are not bank deposits and are not insured by, guaranteed by, endorsed by or obligations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, any government agency or any bank. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service(12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2019 to April 30, 2020.
Actual Expenses
This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
The Annualized Net Expense Ratios may be different from the net expense ratios in the Financial Highlights which are for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.

17 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
Wilmington Funds
April 30, 2020
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as anopen-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 12 portfolios, 2 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 10 funds are presented in separate reports.
| | |
| |
Fund | | Investment Goal |
Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund (“U.S. Government Money Market Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal. |
Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (“U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to provide current income while maintaining liquidity and stability of principal. |
(d) Diversified
The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I, and Institutional Class. Class A and Class I are not available for the Funds. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services - Investment Companies.” The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated and the differences could be material.
Computation of Net Asset Value– It is each Fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value of $1.00 per share for each class. Each Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that each Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per share for each of the Funds is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding at the time of such computation. Each Fund’s NAV per share is computed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on days when the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for regular trading and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the ‘‘Fed’’) is open. In addition, the Funds may elect, in their discretion if it is determined to be in shareholders’ best interests, to be open on days when the NYSE is open but the Fed is closed or to be open on days when the Fed is open but the NYSE is closed, except for Good Friday.
Investment Valuation– The Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities, when it represents the best estimate of fair value in accordance with Rule2a-7 under the Act.
The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs and techniques used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs and techniques by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or techniques used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously,open-end regulated investment companies are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements– Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting each Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian orsub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian orsub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities, if necessary, to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.
The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 18 |
Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from each Fund.
At April 30, 2020, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1) The amount of collateral reflected in the table does not include any over-collateralization received by the Fund.
(2) Net exposure represents the receivable (payable) due from (to) the counterparty in the event of default.
Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions– Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on theex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.
Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific fund, are applied to that fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.
All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
Federal Taxes– It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax or excise tax are necessary.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the year ended April 30, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
As of April 30, 2020 there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2019, 2018, and 2017, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
For financial reporting purposes, book basis capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Permanent reclassifications can arise from differing treatment of certain income and gain transactions and nondeductible current year net operating losses. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital paid in on shares of beneficial interest. The reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or NAVs of the Funds. As of April 30, 2020, there were no reclassifications.
The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
The tax character of distributions for the corresponding fiscal year ends were as follows:

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | 155,741 | | 2,001 | | (155,753) | | — | | — | | — |
The differences between the book and tax basis components of distributable earnings relate principally to the timing of recognition of income and gains for federal income tax purposes.
Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At April 30, 2020, none of the Funds have any losses deferred to May 1, 2020.
The Funds utilized capital loss carryforwards as follows to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2020:

U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | $562 |
4. | ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS |
Investment Advisor– Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) providessub-advisory services to the Funds. WFMC and WTIA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation. For its services, the Funds pay WFMC an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as described below. WFMC, not the Funds, pays WTIA for its services.
| | |
| |
Fund | | Advisory Fee Annual Rate |
U.S. Government Money Market Fund | | 0.25% |
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | 0.25% |
During the year ended April 30, 2020, WFMC has agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or reimburse certain of the Funds’ operating expenses, and/or certain class-specific fees and expenses, in an effort to maintain the current yield of each share class at or above zero. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes or extraordinary items. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
WFMC and the Funds’ distributor and shareholder service providers have contractually agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2020, so that total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Funds (not including the effects of acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, or other extraordinary expenses expressed as an annualized percentage of average daily net assets), will not exceed the expense limitations set forth below. Neither WFMC nor the Fund’s distributor and shareholder service provider will recoup previously waived fees/expenses in subsequent years.

21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
Market risk is the risk that one or more markets in which a Fund invests will go down in value, including the possibility that the markets will go down sharply and unpredictably. The value of a security or other asset may decline due to changes in general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or other asset, or factors that affect a particular issuer or issuers, exchange, country, group of countries, region, market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.
Beginning in January 2020, global financial markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant volatility resulting from the spread of a novel coronavirus known asCOVID-19. The outbreak ofCOVID-19 has resulted in travel and border restrictions, quarantines, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand and general market uncertainty. The effects ofCOVID-19 have and may continue to adversely affect the global economy, the economies of certain nations and individual issuers. The impact of the outbreak may be short term or may last for an extended period of time, which may have an unpredictable impact on Fund performance.
The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), has announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future use of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. The transition process away from LIBOR may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition process may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by a Fund or reduce the effectiveness of related Fund transactions such as hedges. Volatility, the potential reduction in value, and/or the hedge effectiveness of financial instruments may be heightened for financial instruments that do not include fallback provisions that address the cessation of LIBOR. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on any of the Funds or on financial instruments in which a Fund invests, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to a Fund.
7. | CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS |
In the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on claims that may be made against the Funds in the future, and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
The Trust participates in a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. The LOC was available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings were charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.15% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expired on April 2, 2020.
On April 2, 2020, the Trust entered into an amendment to the credit agreement for a $10,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving LOC. The LOC is to be used as described above and to be operated in substantially the same manner as the original agreement. The LOC expires on April 1, 2021.
The Trust did not utilize the LOC during the year ended April 30, 2020.
9. | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update2018-13, (the “ASU”), which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level fair value measurements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has evaluated the implications of certain provisions of ASUNo. 2018-13 and has elected to early adopt all aspects related to the removal and modification of certain fair value measurement disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2020-04 (“ASU2020-04”), Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in ASU2020-04 provides optional temporary financial reporting relief from the effect of certain types of contract modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other interbank-offered based reference rates as of the end of 2021. ASU2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying ASU2020-04.
10. | OTHER FUND INFORMATION |
At a meeting held on June 5, 2019, the Trustees, upon recommendation of the Audit Committee, selected PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Trust for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020. PwC affirmed

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 22 |
their independence as an independent registered public accounting firm on June 19, 2019. During the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) audit reports’ on the financial statements of each Fund in the Trust did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. In addition, there were no disagreements between the Trust and E&Y on accounting principles, financial statements disclosures or audit scope, which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused them to make reference to the disagreement in their reports. Neither the Trust nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with PwC at any time prior to their selection with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on each Fund’s financial statements.
Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.
ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of Wilmington Funds and Shareholders of Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (two of the funds constituting Wilmington Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2020, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the year ended April 30, 2020, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the year ended April 30, 2020 and for the period October 16, 2019 (commencement of operations for the Institutional Class of Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) through April 30, 2020 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of April 30, 2020, the results of each of their operations and changes in each of their net assets for the year then ended, and each of the financial highlights for the year ended April 30, 2020 and for the period October 16, 2019 (commencement of operations for the Institutional Class of Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund) through April 30, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The financial statements of the Funds as of and for the year ended April 30, 2019 and the financial highlights for each of the periods ended on or prior to April 30, 2019 (not presented herein, other than the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights) were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 27, 2019 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial statements and financial highlights.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2020 (unaudited)
Board Approval of Liquidity Risk Management Program
To promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the fund industry and to enhance disclosure regarding fund liquidity and redemption practices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) adopted Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The rule requires every registeredopen-end management company to establish a liquidity risk management program that, among other things, provides for the assessment, management and review of liquidity risk, the classification of a fund’s portfolio investments into one of four liquidity buckets based upon the number of days that such investments may reasonably be expected to be converted into cash or otherwise disposed of without significantly impacting their price, the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum where required, and the establishment of a 15% limitation on illiquid investments. Additionally, the Commission adopted Rule30b1-10 and FormN-LIQUID, which generally requires a fund to notify the Commission when certain liquidity-related events occur.
The Wilmington Funds Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved the appointment of the Funds’ Liquidity Risk Management Committee (“Liquidity Committee”) as the administrator of the liquidity risk management program (the “LRMP”) for the Funds on September 6, 2018 and the Funds’ final LRMP on March 5, 2019. At the regular meeting of the Board on March 10, 2020, the Trust’s Chief Operations Officer, as a member of the Liquidity Committee, provided a report to the Board on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP after its first year of operation. The Liquidity Committee managed liquidity risks associated with the Funds’ investments by monitoring cash and cash equivalents, the use of derivatives, the concentration of investments and the appropriateness of portfolio strategies foropen-end funds, and by classifying each investment of a Fund as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of each Fund’s investments, the Liquidity Committee utilized a third party provider of liquidity monitoring services. The Liquidity Committee supplied portfolio-level data and certain assumptions to the provider which then used the information to determine the liquidity classification of each security position held by the Funds. The liquidity classifications as of each month end were reviewed by the Liquidity Committee on at least a quarterly basis and would be reviewed more often if market conditions warranted. For assets managed by a third partysub-adviser the Liquidity Committee would takesub-adviser input into account where appropriate in determining the liquidity classifications.
The LRMP effectively managed the Funds’ liquidity risks for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2020. During this period, each Fund held more than 50% of its total net assets in highly liquid investments and due to the fact that each Fund is deemed to consist primarily of highly liquid investments, no highly liquid investment minimum was required to be established for any Fund. All Funds holding assets deemed to be illiquid were well under the illiquid investment limitation. Additionally, no events occurred that required the filing of FormN-LIQUID.

| (e)(1) | Audit Committee Policies regardingPre-approval of Services. |
The Audit Committee is required topre-approve audit andnon-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received generalpre-approval, it will require specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceedingpre-approved cost levels will require specificpre- approval by the Audit Committee.
Certain services have the generalpre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the generalpre-approval is 12 months from the date ofpre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specificpre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant generalpre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of generalpre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities topre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.
The Audit Committee has delegatedpre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report anypre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with suchpre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.
AUDIT SERVICES
The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specificpre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.
In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant generalpre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee haspre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specificallypre-approved by the Audit Committee.
AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES
Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and haspre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specificallypre-approved by the Audit Committee.
TAX SERVICES
The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee haspre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specificallypre-approved by the Audit Committee.
ALL OTHER SERVICES
With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services thepre-approval requirement is waived if:
| (1) | The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including anysub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant or to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; |
| (2) | Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including anysub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to benon-audit services; and |
| (3) | Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee. |
The Audit Committee may grant generalpre-approval to those permissiblenon-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.
The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibitednon-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.
PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS
Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specificpre-approval by the Audit Committee.
PROCEDURES
Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
