PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report of the U.S. Government Money Market Fund and U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2022, through October 31, 2022. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Funds’ holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Funds’ investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively) have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Funds’ semi-annual fiscal period.
The economy
The semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was turbulent. At the onset of the period, inflation concerns rattled investors as U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) accelerated in May to 8.6% and again in June, making a new cycle high of 9.1% and reaching its highest level in 40-years. U.S. consumers felt pain at the gas pump as the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $5 in mid-June and consumer sentiment reached its lowest level on record. However, job growth in the U.S. remained strong with nearly 400,000 net new jobs added per month for the first three months of the period (May-July). The strong job reports stoked investor fears that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would hike rates more aggressively due to the underlying strength of the labor market. Fears were warranted as the Fed hiked interest rates by 150 basis points1 in just a six-week period, the most since 1982. At the same time, the U.S. posted a second consecutive quarter of negative Gross Domestic Product “GDP” (-0.9% quarter-on-quarter, for Q2) marking a “technical recession”.
Over the summer, economic data and some commentary from the Fed led investors to suspect that the Fed would pause or pivot from its hawkish stance. Equity markets bottomed in mid-June and decisively rallied throughout the summer on the back of the ‘Fed Put’ narrative and in lockstep with stronger-than-expected corporate earnings. Chair Powell ended rumors of a pivot in a 10-minute speech delivered at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium in August. In the speech, Powell noted that pain for households and businesses was “the unfortunate cost of reducing inflation.” U.S. equity indices sold off following the Jackson Hole speech and remained under pressure through mid-October. The economy finished the period on a high note with Q3 GDP rebounding and beating consensus estimates (+2.6% quarter-on-quarter, for Q3).
Abroad, the economic picture was far more dismal. The war in Ukraine escalated as Russian gas providers shut down natural gas pipelines to Europe. Russia’s weaponization of energy exacerbated inflation and weighed on consumer confidence. In July, the European Central Bank hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, taking rates out of negative territory for the first time since 2014. During the period, the U.K. saw three different Prime Ministers in office. Boris Johnson resigned in July after a three-year run following a vote of no confidence. Liz Truss took over and released a ‘mini-budget’ featuring nearly 50 billion in unfunded tax cuts. Markets reacted sharply with the pound notching its third worst day since 1992. The Bank of England was forced to intervene at the eleventh hour and buy long dated bonds to bail out several of the nation’s largest pension funds. Truss resigned after 45 days on the job amid the market turmoil and was replaced by Rishi Sunak.
In China, the political scene was less noisy after President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented but expected third term in power. Xi was also able to strengthen his grip on power by stacking the Chinese Communist Party leadership with loyalists. The Chinese economy continued to be hurt by the government’s enforcement of Zero-Covid restrictions and regulation in the property market. China’s central bank was active, providing monetary and fiscal support to the economy in the form of prime rate cuts and infrastructure spending.
Bond markets
Fixed income markets declined significantly during the period. Credit and Treasury indices underperformed Corporate High Yield and Municipal bond indices. The Fed Funds target rate increased 2.75% during the period driving Treasury yields higher across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the period up 107 basis points to 4.05%. The two-year Treasury yield pushed up 175 basis points to end the period at 4.48%. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-2y ended the quarter deeply inverted at -43 basis points and the 10y-3m ducked into inversion territory at -1 basis points by the end of the period (down from +221 basis points at the start of the period). Volatility in the bond market, as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index, remained extremely heightened, ending the period at 147.9 compared to its five-year average of 69.5.

Equity markets
Equity markets were down across the board during the period with U.S. small cap stocks the outperformer of the group. Overall, it was a tumultuous period for all indices. The S&P 500 made sharp moves in both directions rallying 17.4% through the summer followed by a subsequent drop of 16.7% around Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. The two corporate earnings seasons during the period were both better than expected with the energy sector masking much of the weakness in equities. Mega cap tech stocks were hit hard by higher interest rates and lower ad spending revenue. Firms like Meta, Google and Amazon made headlines by announcing plans to reduce headcount. The Russell 1000 Value Index8 outperformed its counterpart the Russell 1000 Growth Index9, declining 3.2% versus a -8.2% return for Growth. Economic weakness in Europe and China led the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets lower with both indices underperforming significantly.
For the six-month period May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, certain stock market indices performed as follows:
| | | | | | |
S&P 500® Index10 | | Russell 2000® Index11 | | MSCI EAFE (Net) Index12 | | MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index13 |

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
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.
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 money market funds, and you should not expect that the investment advisor will provide financial support to the money market funds at any time.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you may 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 May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022.
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.

13 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 10 funds, 2 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 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 Funds offers Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each fund are segregated and a shareholder���s interest is limited to the fund 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 class of a Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, attributable to the class by the total number of shares of the class outstanding at the time of such computation. The NAV per share for each class of a Fund 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 Rule 2a-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 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 14
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 October 31, 2022, 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 due from 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 reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on 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.
Each Fund offers 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.
3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as it is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income and realized gains.
Each Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the tax returns are filed. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. The Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the six months ended October 31, 2022.
The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings are finalized at fiscal year-end. Accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.
Cost of investments for federal income tax purposes is the same as for financial statement purposes.

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”) provides sub-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% |
WFMC and the Funds’ distributor and shareholder service providers have contractually agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2023, so that total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Funds (not including the effects of acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and interest 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.
| | | | | | | | |
| | Current Contractual |
| | Expense Limitations |
Fund | | Administrative Class | | Institutional Class | | Select Class | | Service Class |
| | | | |
U.S. Government Money Market Fund* | | 0.60% | | 0.25% | | 0.35% | | 0.75% |
U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund | | 0.60% | | 0.25% | | 0.35% | | 0.75% |
| * | Prior to August 31, 2022, the U.S. Government Money Market Fund’s contractual expense limitation was 0.62%, 0.27%, 0.37%, and 0.77% for Administrative, Institutional, Select, and Service Class, respectively. |
In addition, WFMC has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse sufficient expenses of any class of the Funds to the extent necessary to maintain a yield of not less than zero. There is no guarantee that any class of the Funds will maintain such a yield. WFMC may amend or terminate this voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement at any time without prior notice to shareholders.
Administrative Fees – The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) provides the Trust with fund administration services. BNYM fees as described in the table below are a component of “Portfolio accounting and administration fees” as disclosed in the Statements of Operations. WFMC, in its role as Co-Administrator, provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services necessary to operate the Funds. WFMC fees as described in the table below are accrued daily and paid monthly, and are disclosed on the Statements of Operations as “Administration fees.”
| | | | |
| | Maximum | | Average Aggregate Daily Net |
Administrator | | Fee | | Assets of the Trust |
| | |
WFMC | | 0.040% | | on the first $5 billion |
| | 0.030% | | on the next $2 billion |
| | 0.025% | | on the next $3 billion |
| | 0.018% | | on assets in excess of $10 billion |
| | |
BNYM | | 0.0175% | | on the first $15 billion |
| | 0.0150% | | on the next $10 billion |
| | 0.0125% | | on assets in excess of $25 billion |
WFMC and BNYM may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of their fee and can add, modify or terminate a voluntary wavier at any time at their sole discretion. Neither WFMC nor BNYM will recoup previously waived fees/expenses in subsequent years. For the six months ended October 31, 2022, neither WFMC nor BNYM waived any administrative fees.
Distribution Services Fee – The Trust has adopted a Distribution Services Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan allows the Funds to pay fees to financial intermediaries, which may be paid through ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS”), the principal distributor, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Administrative Class and Service Class shares for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and record keeping of these shares.
The Trust may reduce the maximum amount of distribution services fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates) may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

General – Certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust are also Officers or employees of the above companies that provide services to the Funds, and during their terms of office, receive no compensation from the Funds. The Trust’s Statement of Additional Information includes additional information about the Trustees.
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.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds’ prospectus.
6. | 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 is available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate for such day, (b) the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for such day plus 0.10%, or (c) zero percent. The LOC includes a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expires on March 31, 2023.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2022.

DISCUSSION OF RENEWAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements Generally
At a meeting held on September 14-15, 2022 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust agreed to approve the renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). The agreement renewal process was divided into two Board meetings of the Independent Trustees of the Trust to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
On August 25, 2022, the Board held a special meeting (the “August Meeting”) with personnel of the Adviser and Counsel to give preliminary consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Advisory Agreements with WFMC and with WTIA and the Advisory Agreements between the three multi-manager Funds (the “Sub-Advised Funds”) and their respective sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”). At the August Meeting, the Independent Trustees evaluated the information that the Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees and developed a request for additional and clarifying information that was responded to by the Adviser and discussed at the September Meeting.
At the August Meeting, the Adviser also provided the Board with an initial basis for the approval of each Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Advised Funds and their respective Sub-Advisers and discussed with the Board a variety of information about the Sub-Advised Funds and their Sub-Advisers, including information that each Sub-Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees concerning its investment advisory services, operations, compliance program and other matters.
In agreeing to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered, among other things:
| • | | Information about the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including management style, particular investment strategies and prevailing market conditions experienced in the prior year; the fees and expenses of each Fund, including any applicable fee waiver or expense cap; the costs of the services and potential economies of scale; and fallout or ancillary benefits to the Adviser from managing each Fund; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparisons of fee and expense data; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparative performance data; |
| • | | Information from the Adviser describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, each Fund’s performance (over multiple periods) compared with the Fund’s benchmark(s) and peer groups, as applicable; |
| • | | Information about fees paid by other clients of the Adviser (and each Sub-Adviser, as relevant and available) that have substantially similar investment objectives to the corresponding Fund; |
| • | | The nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Sub-Advisers and the Adviser’s evaluation and recommendation of the approval of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements with each Sub-Adviser; |
| • | | For each Sub-Adviser, the nature and quality of services provided; the costs to the Sub-Adviser of providing those services, as available; the potential for economies of scale; potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; and the financial stability of the Sub-Adviser and its parent companies, as relevant; and |
| • | | The financial stability of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and their parent companies, when relevant. |
During the agreement renewal process, the Board reviewed, considered and discussed, among themselves and with the Adviser and Counsel, the information described above. Counsel advised the Independent Trustees on their responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the renewals and met with the Independent Trustees in executive sessions. The Board also considered reports provided by the Adviser throughout the year concerning each Fund with respect to, among other things, investment, compliance and operational matters; brokerage and portfolio transactions; allocation of soft dollars for research products and services; portfolio turnover rates; and other benefits from the allocation of transactions to certain brokers. The Board took into account information provided by the Adviser with respect to the effect on performance of asset allocations required by a Fund’s investment strategy or implemented by the Adviser at its discretion. The Board also considered the Adviser’s profitability in providing services under the Advisory Agreements and concluded that, for each Fund, the level of profitability did not appear unreasonably high.
At the September Meeting, the Board approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements based on all of the relevant information and factors, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, and concluded the following:
| • | | The nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, as applicable, were consistent with the terms of the relevant Advisory Agreements; |
| • | | The prospects for satisfactory investment performance were reasonable; and |
| • | | Renewal of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. |
Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratio were above the Fund’s expense group median and considered the fee waivers in place for the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund achieved total return performance equal to the peer group average for the one-year period, and slightly below the peer group average for the three- and five-year periods, ended June 30, 2022.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report of the Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund and Large-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2022, through October 31, 2022. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Funds’ holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Funds’ investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively) have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Funds’ semi-annual fiscal period.
The economy
The semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was turbulent. At the onset of the period, inflation concerns rattled investors as U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) accelerated in May to 8.6% and again in June, making a new cycle high of 9.1% and reaching its highest level in 40-years. U.S. consumers felt pain at the gas pump as the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $5 in mid-June and consumer sentiment reached its lowest level on record. However, job growth in the U.S. remained strong with nearly 400,000 net new jobs added per month for the first three months of the period (May-July). The strong job reports stoked investor fears that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would hike rates more aggressively due to the underlying strength of the labor market. Fears were warranted as the Fed hiked interest rates by 150 basis points1 in just a six-week period, the most since 1982. At the same time, the U.S. posted a second consecutive quarter of negative Gross Domestic Product “GDP” (-0.9% quarter-on-quarter, for Q2) marking a “technical recession”.
Over the summer, economic data and some commentary from the Fed led investors to suspect that the Fed would pause or pivot from its hawkish stance. Equity markets bottomed in mid-June and decisively rallied throughout the summer on the back of the ‘Fed Put’ narrative and in lockstep with stronger-than-expected corporate earnings. Chair Powell ended rumors of a pivot in a 10-minute speech delivered at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium in August. In the speech, Powell noted that pain for households and businesses was “the unfortunate cost of reducing inflation.” U.S. equity indices sold off following the Jackson Hole speech and remained under pressure through mid-October. The economy finished the period on a high note with Q3 GDP rebounding and beating consensus estimates (+2.6% quarter-on-quarter, for Q3).
Abroad, the economic picture was far more dismal. The war in Ukraine escalated as Russian gas providers shut down natural gas pipelines to Europe. Russia’s weaponization of energy exacerbated inflation and weighed on consumer confidence. In July, the European Central Bank hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, taking rates out of negative territory for the first time since 2014. During the period, the U.K. saw three different Prime Ministers in office. Boris Johnson resigned in July after a three-year run following a vote of no confidence. Liz Truss took over and released a ‘mini-budget’ featuring nearly 50 billion in unfunded tax cuts. Markets reacted sharply with the pound notching its third worst day since 1992. The Bank of England was forced to intervene at the eleventh hour and buy long dated bonds to bail out several of the nation’s largest pension funds. Truss resigned after 45 days on the job amid the market turmoil and was replaced by Rishi Sunak.
In China, the political scene was less noisy after President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented but expected third term in power. Xi was also able to strengthen his grip on power by stacking the Chinese Communist Party leadership with loyalists. The Chinese economy continued to be hurt by the government’s enforcement of Zero-Covid restrictions and regulation in the property market. China’s central bank was active, providing monetary and fiscal support to the economy in the form of prime rate cuts and infrastructure spending.
Bond markets
Fixed income markets declined significantly during the period. Credit and Treasury indices underperformed Corporate High Yield and Municipal bond indices. The Fed Funds target rate increased 2.75% during the period driving Treasury yields higher across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the period up 107 basis points to 4.05%. The two-year Treasury yield pushed up 175 basis points to end the period at 4.48%. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-2y ended the quarter deeply inverted at -43 basis points and the 10y-3m ducked into inversion territory at -1 basis points by the end of the period (down from +221 basis points at the start of the period). Volatility in the bond market, as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index, remained extremely heightened, ending the period at 147.9 compared to its five-year average of 69.5.

Equity markets
Equity markets were down across the board during the period with U.S. small cap stocks the outperformer of the group. Overall, it was a tumultuous period for all indices. The S&P 500 made sharp moves in both directions rallying 17.4% through the summer followed by a subsequent drop of 16.7% around Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. The two corporate earnings seasons during the period were both better than expected with the energy sector masking much of the weakness in equities. Mega cap tech stocks were hit hard by higher interest rates and lower ad spending revenue. Firms like Meta, Google and Amazon made headlines by announcing plans to reduce headcount. The Russell 1000 Value Index8 outperformed its counterpart the Russell 1000 Growth Index9, declining 3.2% versus a -8.2% return for Growth. Economic weakness in Europe and China led the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets lower with both indices underperforming significantly.
For the six-month period May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
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.
1. | Basis Points (“BPS”) is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indices and the yield of a fixed-income security. |

To be included in the index, bonds must have an outstanding par balance of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. |
7. | Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index measures the USD-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. Bonds from issuers with an emerging markets country of risk, based on the Bloomberg EM country definition, are excluded. The U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is a component of the U.S. Universal and Global High Yield Indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. |

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you may 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 May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022.
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.

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 10 funds, 2 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 Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund (“Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks a high level of total return consistent with a moderate level of risk. |
| |
Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund (“Large-Cap Strategy Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation. |
(d) Diversified
The Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund offers Class A and Class I shares, and the Large-Cap Strategy Fund offers Class I shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund 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 – The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per share for each class of a Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, attributable to the class by the total number of shares outstanding of the class at the time of such computation. The NAV per share for each class of a Fund is computed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on days when the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for regular trading.
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 the over-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 in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at 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 Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and Exchange Traded Notes (“ETNs”), is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded; 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 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 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 in non-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,
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT / October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
| | |
25 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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 other open-end regulated investment companies) and exchange traded derivatives are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds 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 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 October 31, 2022, 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 reporting 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. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) are recorded as dividend income, capital gain, or return of capital as reported by such REITs, or based on management’s estimates to the extent actual information has not been reported. Estimates are adjusted to the actual amounts when the
October 31, 2022 (unaudited) / SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
| | |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 26 |
amounts are determined. 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 and includes proceeds from litigation, if any. 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.
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.
The Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund offers 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, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for the Funds.
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 loaned. 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.
Under the terms of the agreement, cash collateral received is invested in one or more approved investments. 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 October 31, 2022, 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) | |
| | | |
Large-Cap Strategy Fund | | | $2,346,353 | | | | $2,346,353 | | | | $— | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| (1) | Collateral with a value of $2,426,046 has been received in connection with securities lending transactions. The amount of collateral reflected in the table does not include any over-collateralization received by the Fund. |
| (2) | Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |
3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as it is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income and realized gains.
Each Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the tax returns are filed. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. The Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the six months ended October 31, 2022.
The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings are finalized at fiscal year-end. Accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.

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.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds’ prospectus.
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 is available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate for such day, (b) the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for such day plus 0.10%, or (c) zero percent. The LOC includes a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expires on March 31, 2023.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2022.
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.

DISCUSSION OF RENEWAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements Generally
At a meeting held on September 14-15, 2022 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust agreed to approve the renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). The agreement renewal process was divided into two Board meetings of the Independent Trustees of the Trust to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
On August 25, 2022, the Board held a special meeting (the “August Meeting”) with personnel of the Adviser and Counsel to give preliminary consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Advisory Agreements with WFMC and with WTIA and the Advisory Agreements between the three multi-manager Funds (the “Sub-Advised Funds”) and their respective sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”). At the August Meeting, the Independent Trustees evaluated the information that the Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees and developed a request for additional and clarifying information that was responded to by the Adviser and discussed at the September Meeting.
At the August Meeting, the Adviser also provided the Board with an initial basis for the approval of each Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Advised Funds and their respective Sub-Advisers and discussed with the Board a variety of information about the Sub-Advised Funds and their Sub-Advisers, including information that each Sub-Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees concerning its investment advisory services, operations, compliance program and other matters.
In agreeing to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered, among other things:
| • | | Information about the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including management style, particular investment strategies and prevailing market conditions experienced in the prior year; the fees and expenses of each Fund, including any applicable fee waiver or expense cap; the costs of the services and potential economies of scale; and fallout or ancillary benefits to the Adviser from managing each Fund; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparisons of fee and expense data; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparative performance data; |
| • | | Information from the Adviser describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, each Fund’s performance (over multiple periods) compared with the Fund’s benchmark(s) and peer groups, as applicable; |
| • | | Information about fees paid by other clients of the Adviser (and each Sub-Adviser, as relevant and available) that have substantially similar investment objectives to the corresponding Fund; |
| • | | The nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Sub-Advisers and the Adviser’s evaluation and recommendation of the approval of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements with each Sub-Adviser; |
| • | | For each Sub-Adviser, the nature and quality of services provided; the costs to the Sub-Adviser of providing those services, as available; the potential for economies of scale; potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; and the financial stability of the Sub-Adviser and its parent companies, as relevant; and |
| • | | The financial stability of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and their parent companies, when relevant. |
During the agreement renewal process, the Board reviewed, considered and discussed, among themselves and with the Adviser and Counsel, the information described above. Counsel advised the Independent Trustees on their responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the renewals and met with the Independent Trustees in executive sessions. The Board also considered reports provided by the Adviser throughout the year concerning each Fund with respect to, among other things, investment, compliance and operational matters; brokerage and portfolio transactions; allocation of soft dollars for research products and services; portfolio turnover rates; and other benefits from the allocation of transactions to certain brokers. The Board took into account information provided by the Adviser with respect to the effect on performance of asset allocations required by a Fund’s investment strategy or implemented by the Adviser at its discretion. The Board also considered the Adviser’s profitability in providing services under the Advisory Agreements and concluded that, for each Fund, the level of profitability did not appear unreasonably high.
At the September Meeting, the Board approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements based on all of the relevant information and factors, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, and concluded the following:
| • | | The nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, as applicable, were consistent with the terms of the relevant Advisory Agreements; |
| • | | The prospects for satisfactory investment performance were reasonable; and |
| • | | Renewal of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. |

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report of the Broad Market Bond Fund, Municipal Bond Fund and New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2022, through October 31, 2022. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Funds’ holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Funds’ investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively) have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Funds’ semi-annual fiscal period.
The economy
The semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was turbulent. At the onset of the period, inflation concerns rattled investors as U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) accelerated in May to 8.6% and again in June, making a new cycle high of 9.1% and reaching its highest level in 40-years. U.S. consumers felt pain at the gas pump as the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $5 in mid-June and consumer sentiment reached its lowest level on record. However, job growth in the U.S. remained strong with nearly 400,000 net new jobs added per month for the first three months of the period (May-July). The strong job reports stoked investor fears that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would hike rates more aggressively due to the underlying strength of the labor market. Fears were warranted as the Fed hiked interest rates by 150 basis points1 in just a six-week period, the most since 1982. At the same time, the U.S. posted a second consecutive quarter of negative Gross Domestic Product “GDP” (-0.9% quarter-on-quarter, for Q2) marking a “technical recession”.
Over the summer, economic data and some commentary from the Fed led investors to suspect that the Fed would pause or pivot from its hawkish stance. Equity markets bottomed in mid-June and decisively rallied throughout the summer on the back of the ‘Fed Put’ narrative and in lockstep with stronger-than-expected corporate earnings. Chair Powell ended rumors of a pivot in a 10-minute speech delivered at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium in August. In the speech, Powell noted that pain for households and businesses was “the unfortunate cost of reducing inflation.” U.S. equity indices sold off following the Jackson Hole speech and remained under pressure through mid-October. The economy finished the period on a high note with Q3 GDP rebounding and beating consensus estimates (+2.6% quarter-on-quarter, for Q3).
Abroad, the economic picture was far more dismal. The war in Ukraine escalated as Russian gas providers shut down natural gas pipelines to Europe. Russia’s weaponization of energy exacerbated inflation and weighed on consumer confidence. In July, the European Central Bank hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, taking rates out of negative territory for the first time since 2014. During the period, the U.K. saw three different Prime Ministers in office. Boris Johnson resigned in July after a three-year run following a vote of no confidence. Liz Truss took over and released a ‘mini-budget’ featuring nearly 50 billion in unfunded tax cuts. Markets reacted sharply with the pound notching its third worst day since 1992. The Bank of England was forced to intervene at the eleventh hour and buy long dated bonds to bail out several of the nation’s largest pension funds. Truss resigned after 45 days on the job amid the market turmoil and was replaced by Rishi Sunak.
In China, the political scene was less noisy after President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented but expected third term in power. Xi was also able to strengthen his grip on power by stacking the Chinese Communist Party leadership with loyalists. The Chinese economy continued to be hurt by the government’s enforcement of Zero-Covid restrictions and regulation in the property market. China’s central bank was active, providing monetary and fiscal support to the economy in the form of prime rate cuts and infrastructure spending.
Bond markets
Fixed income markets declined significantly during the period. Credit and Treasury indices underperformed Corporate High Yield and Municipal bond indices. The Fed Funds target rate increased 2.75% during the period driving Treasury yields higher across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the period up 107 basis points to 4.05%. The two-year Treasury yield pushed up 175 basis points to end the period at 4.48%. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-2y ended the quarter deeply inverted at -43 basis points and the 10y-3m ducked into inversion territory at -1 basis points by the end of the period (down from +221 basis points at the start of the period). Volatility in the bond market, as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index, remained extremely heightened, ending the period at 147.9 compared to its five-year average of 69.5.

Equity markets
Equity markets were down across the board during the period with U.S. small cap stocks the outperformer of the group. Overall, it was a tumultuous period for all indices. The S&P 500 made sharp moves in both directions rallying 17.4% through the summer followed by a subsequent drop of 16.7% around Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. The two corporate earnings seasons during the period were both better than expected with the energy sector masking much of the weakness in equities. Mega cap tech stocks were hit hard by higher interest rates and lower ad spending revenue. Firms like Meta, Google and Amazon made headlines by announcing plans to reduce headcount. The Russell 1000 Value Index8 outperformed its counterpart the Russell 1000 Growth Index9, declining 3.2% versus a -8.2% return for Growth. Economic weakness in Europe and China led the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets lower with both indices underperforming significantly.
For the six-month period May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

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.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
| | | | |
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you may 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 May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022. 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. |

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 10 funds, 3 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 7 funds are presented in separate reports.
| | |
| |
Fund | | Investment Goal |
| |
Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (“Broad Market Bond Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks to provide current income and secondarily, capital growth. |
| |
Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (“Municipal Bond Fund”)(d) | | The Fund seeks a high level of income exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. |
| |
Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (“New York Municipal Bond Fund”)(n) | | The Fund seeks to provide current income that is exempt from both federal and New York personal income taxes. |
(d) Diversified
(n) Non-diversified
The Funds offer Class A and Class I shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund 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 – The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per share for each class of a Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, attributable to the class by the total number of shares outstanding of the class at the time of such computation. The NAV per share for each class of a Fund is computed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on days when the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for regular trading.
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 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 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
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT / October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
| | |

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 October 31, 2022, 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 reporting 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. 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.
Each Fund offers 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.
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.
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 loaned. 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.
Under the terms of the agreement, cash collateral received is invested in one or more approved investments. 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 October 31, 2022, 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) |
Broad Market Bond Fund | | | $ | 25,261,917 | | | | $ | 25,261,917 | | | | $ | — | |
| (1) | Collateral with a value of $26,140,106 has been received in connection with securities lending transactions. The amount of collateral reflected in the table does not include any over-collateralization received by the Fund. |
| (2) | Net exposure represents the receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |
3. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |

The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the tax returns are filed. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. The Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the for the six months ended October 31, 2022.

At a meeting held on June 3, 2021, the Board of Trustees approved a Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) providing for: (i) the acquisition by the Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) of substantially all of the Assets of the Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), a series of the Trust, in exchange solely for Class A and Class I shares of the Acquiring Fund (“Acquiring Fund Shares”); (ii) the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund; (iii) the distribution of the Acquiring Fund Shares to shareholders of the Acquired Fund holding the corresponding class of shares of the Acquired Fund; and (iv) the

liquidation and dissolution of the Acquired Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Advisor with comparable investment objectives and strategies.
The Reorganization was consummated through a tax-free exchange of shares as of the close of business on August 20, 2021. For financial reporting purposes, the Acquiring Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor and assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at net asset value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The cost, market value and unrealized appreciation of the investments of the Acquired Fund as of the close of business on August 20, 2021 were $25,615,221, $26,646,484 and $1,031,263, respectively.
The shareholders of the Acquired Fund received shares of the respective class of the Acquiring Fund equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares in the Acquired Fund prior to the Reorganization, as shown in the following table:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Acquired Fund Net Assets | | | Acquired Fund Shares Outstanding | | | Shares Converted to Acquiring Fund | | | Conversion Ratio | |
Class A | | $ | 1,020,482 | | | | 105,144 | | | | 98,320 | | | | 0.93509 | |
Class I | | | 25,685,831 | | | | 2,645,223 | | | | 2,517,137 | | | | 0.95158 | |
The net assets of the Acquiring Fund before the Reorganization were $613,179,107. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the Reorganization were $639,885,420.
Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2021, the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2022, would have been as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income (loss) | | $ | 175,203 | |
Net realized gain (loss) on investments | | | 526,653 | |
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) | | | (426,249 | ) |
| | | | |
Net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 275,607 | |
| | | | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was consummated on August 20, 2021.
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.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds’ prospectus.
8. | 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 is available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate for such day, (b) the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for such day plus 0.10%, or (c) zero percent. The LOC includes a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expires on March 31, 2023.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2022.

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 which 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. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. Management has evaluated the impact of applying ASU 2020-04 and concluded that it does not have a material impact on the Funds’ 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.

DISCUSSION OF RENEWAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements Generally
At a meeting held on September 14-15, 2022 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust agreed to approve the renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). The agreement renewal process was divided into two Board meetings of the Independent Trustees of the Trust to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
On August 25, 2022, the Board held a special meeting (the “August Meeting”) with personnel of the Adviser and Counsel to give preliminary consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Advisory Agreements with WFMC and with WTIA and the Advisory Agreements between the three multi-manager Funds (the “Sub-Advised Funds”) and their respective sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”). At the August Meeting, the Independent Trustees evaluated the information that the Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees and developed a request for additional and clarifying information that was responded to by the Adviser and discussed at the September Meeting.
At the August Meeting, the Adviser also provided the Board with an initial basis for the approval of each Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Advised Funds and their respective Sub-Advisers and discussed with the Board a variety of information about the Sub-Advised Funds and their Sub-Advisers, including information that each Sub-Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees concerning its investment advisory services, operations, compliance program and other matters.
In agreeing to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered, among other things:
| • | | Information about the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including management style, particular investment strategies and prevailing market conditions experienced in the prior year; the fees and expenses of each Fund, including any applicable fee waiver or expense cap; the costs of the services and potential economies of scale; and fallout or ancillary benefits to the Adviser from managing each Fund; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparisons of fee and expense data; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparative performance data; |
| • | | Information from the Adviser describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, each Fund’s performance (over multiple periods) compared with the Fund’s benchmark(s) and peer groups, as applicable; |
| • | | Information about fees paid by other clients of the Adviser (and each Sub-Adviser, as relevant and available) that have substantially similar investment objectives to the corresponding Fund; |
| • | | The nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Sub-Advisers and the Adviser’s evaluation and recommendation of the approval of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements with each Sub-Adviser; |
| • | | For each Sub-Adviser, the nature and quality of services provided; the costs to the Sub-Adviser of providing those services, as available; the potential for economies of scale; potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; and the financial stability of the Sub-Adviser and its parent companies, as relevant; and |
| • | | The financial stability of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and their parent companies, when relevant. |
During the agreement renewal process, the Board reviewed, considered and discussed, among themselves and with the Adviser and Counsel, the information described above. Counsel advised the Independent Trustees on their responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the renewals and met with the Independent Trustees in executive sessions. The Board also considered reports provided by the Adviser throughout the year concerning each Fund with respect to, among other things, investment, compliance and operational matters; brokerage and portfolio transactions; allocation of soft dollars for research products and services; portfolio turnover rates; and other benefits from the allocation of transactions to certain brokers. The Board took into account information provided by the Adviser with respect to the effect on performance of asset allocations required by a Fund’s investment strategy or implemented by the Adviser at its discretion. The Board also considered the Adviser’s profitability in providing services under the Advisory Agreements and concluded that, for each Fund, the level of profitability did not appear unreasonably high.
At the September Meeting, the Board approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements based on all of the relevant information and factors, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, and concluded the following:
| • | | The nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, as applicable, were consistent with the terms of the relevant Advisory Agreements; |
| • | | The prospects for satisfactory investment performance were reasonable; and |
| • | | Renewal of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. |
Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratios were below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered that the Fund had achieved total return performance above the peer group average for the one- and three-year periods, and below the peer group average for the five-year period, ended June 30, 2022.
October 31, 2022 (unaudited) / SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate was above the Fund’s expense group median and net total expense ratio was below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered that the Fund achieved total return performance below the peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s underperformance and its view that underperformance could be attributed to the effects of the pandemic in 2020, during which the Fund’s portfolio was constructed to reduce risk and preserve capital, and the municipal market rally in 2021, during which the Fund’s peers invested in fixed income securities and derivatives that outperformed relative to the Fund’s holdings, such as high yield municipal bonds, taxable bonds, and inflation swaps.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered that the Fund had achieved total return performance below the peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Report of the International Fund, Global Alpha Equities Fund, and Real Asset Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2022, through October 31, 2022. Inside you will find a comprehensive review of the Funds’ holdings and financial statements.
The economy and financial markets in review
Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (the Funds’ investment advisor and subadvisor, respectively) have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets for the Funds’ semi-annual fiscal period.
The economy
The semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was turbulent. At the onset of the period, inflation concerns rattled investors as U.S. Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) accelerated in May to 8.6% and again in June, making a new cycle high of 9.1% and reaching its highest level in 40-years. U.S. consumers felt pain at the gas pump as the national average for a gallon of gasoline topped $5 in mid-June and consumer sentiment reached its lowest level on record. However, job growth in the U.S. remained strong with nearly 400,000 net new jobs added per month for the first three months of the period (May-July). The strong job reports stoked investor fears that the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) would hike rates more aggressively due to the underlying strength of the labor market. Fears were warranted as the Fed hiked interest rates by 150 basis points1 in just a six-week period, the most since 1982. At the same time, the U.S. posted a second consecutive quarter of negative Gross Domestic Product “GDP” (-0.9% quarter-on-quarter, for Q2) marking a “technical recession”.
Over the summer, economic data and some commentary from the Fed led investors to suspect that the Fed would pause or pivot from its hawkish stance. Equity markets bottomed in mid-June and decisively rallied throughout the summer on the back of the ‘Fed Put’ narrative and in lockstep with stronger-than-expected corporate earnings. Chair Powell ended rumors of a pivot in a 10-minute speech delivered at the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole symposium in August. In the speech, Powell noted that pain for households and businesses was “the unfortunate cost of reducing inflation.” U.S. equity indices sold off following the Jackson Hole speech and remained under pressure through mid-October. The economy finished the period on a high note with Q3 GDP rebounding and beating consensus estimates (+2.6% quarter-on-quarter, for Q3).
Abroad, the economic picture was far more dismal. The war in Ukraine escalated as Russian gas providers shut down natural gas pipelines to Europe. Russia’s weaponization of energy exacerbated inflation and weighed on consumer confidence. In July, the European Central Bank hiked interest rates by 50 basis points, taking rates out of negative territory for the first time since 2014. During the period, the U.K. saw three different Prime Ministers in office. Boris Johnson resigned in July after a three-year run following a vote of no confidence. Liz Truss took over and released a ‘mini-budget’ featuring nearly 50 billion in unfunded tax cuts. Markets reacted sharply with the pound notching its third worst day since 1992. The Bank of England was forced to intervene at the eleventh hour and buy long dated bonds to bail out several of the nation’s largest pension funds. Truss resigned after 45 days on the job amid the market turmoil and was replaced by Rishi Sunak.
In China, the political scene was less noisy after President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented but expected third term in power. Xi was also able to strengthen his grip on power by stacking the Chinese Communist Party leadership with loyalists. The Chinese economy continued to be hurt by the government’s enforcement of Zero-Covid restrictions and regulation in the property market. China’s central bank was active, providing monetary and fiscal support to the economy in the form of prime rate cuts and infrastructure spending.
Bond markets
Fixed income markets declined significantly during the period. Credit and Treasury indices underperformed Corporate High Yield and Municipal bond indices. The Fed Funds target rate increased 2.75% during the period driving Treasury yields higher across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield ended the period up 107 basis points to 4.05%. The two-year Treasury yield pushed up 175 basis points to end the period at 4.48%. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-2y ended the quarter deeply inverted at -43 basis points and the 10y-3m ducked into inversion territory at -1 basis points by the end of the period (down from +221 basis points at the start of the period). Volatility in the bond market, as measured by the ICE BofA MOVE Index, remained extremely heightened, ending the period at 147.9 compared to its five-year average of 69.5.

Equity markets
Equity markets were down across the board during the period with U.S. small cap stocks the outperformer of the group. Overall, it was a tumultuous period for all indices. The S&P 500 made sharp moves in both directions rallying 17.4% through the summer followed by a subsequent drop of 16.7% around Powell’s Jackson Hole speech. The two corporate earnings seasons during the period were both better than expected with the energy sector masking much of the weakness in equities. Mega cap tech stocks were hit hard by higher interest rates and lower ad spending revenue. Firms like Meta, Google and Amazon made headlines by announcing plans to reduce headcount. The Russell 1000 Value Index8 outperformed its counterpart the Russell 1000 Growth Index9, declining 3.2% versus a -8.2% return for Growth. Economic weakness in Europe and China led the MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets lower with both indices underperforming significantly.
For the six-month period May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022, certain stock market indices performed as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | | |
S&P 500® Index10 | | Russell 2000® Index11 | | MSCI EAFE (Net) Index12 | | MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index13 |

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.
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.
1. | Basis Points (“BPS”) is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indices and the yield of a fixed-income security. | |
2. | Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in interest rates can cause decline in their prices. | |
3. | Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index is a market capitalization weighted index that includes all publicly issued, U.S. Treasury securities that have a remaining maturity of at least one year, are rated investment-grade, and have $250 million or more of outstanding face value. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
4. | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a widely used benchmark index for the domestic investment-grade bond market composed of securities from the Bloomberg Government/Corporate Bond Index, Mortgage-Backed Securities Index and Asset-Backed Securities Index. The index typically includes fixed income securities with overall intermediate- to long-term average maturities. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
5. | Bloomberg U.S. Credit Bond Index tracks the performance of domestic investment-grade corporate bonds and is composed of all publicly issued, fixed-rate, nonconvertible, investment-grade corporate debt. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
6. | Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index tracks the performance of long-term, tax-exempt, investment-grade bond market. To be included in the index, bonds must have an outstanding par balance of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
7. | Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index measures the USD-denominated, high yield, fixed-rate corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. Bonds from issuers with an emerging markets country of risk, based on the Bloomberg EM country definition, are excluded. The U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index is a component of the U.S. Universal and Global High Yield Indices. An investment cannot be made directly in an index. | |
8. | The Russell 1000® Value Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. | |
9. | The Russell 1000® Growth Index is a market capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of U.S. equity securities. It includes the Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. | |
10. | The S&P 500® Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks designed to measure performance of the broad domestic economy through changes in the aggregate market value of 500 stocks representing all major industries. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
11. | The Russell 2000® Index measures the performance of the 2,000 smallest companies in the Russell 3000 Index, which represents approximately 8% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000 Index. As of its latest reconstitution, the index had a total market capitalization range of approximately $152.3 million to $5 billion. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. | |
12. | MSCI EAFE (Net) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the U.S. & Canada. The MSCI EAFE (Net) Index is an equity index which captures large and mid-cap representation across 21 Developed Markets countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. The performance of this index is reduced by the taxes on dividends paid by the international securities issuers in the index. | |
13. | MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance of emerging markets. The MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 27 Emerging Markets countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you may 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 May 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022.
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.

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2022 (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 10 funds, 3 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 7 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 of non-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. | | |
| | | |
| | (d) Diversified | | | | |
The Funds offer Class A and Class I shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.
The assets of each fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the fund 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 – The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per share for each class of a Fund is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, attributable to the class by the total number of shares outstanding of the class at the time of such computation. The NAV per share for each class of a Fund is computed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on days when the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for regular trading.
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 the over-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 the over-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 in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at 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 Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) and Exchange Traded Notes (“ETNs”), is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded; 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 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) | | 40 |
| | |
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 in non-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 other open-end regulated investment companies) and exchange traded derivatives are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds 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 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 October 31, 2022, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT / October 31, 2022 (unaudited) |
| | |
41 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
| | |
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 reporting 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. Distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as dividend income, capital gain, or return of capital as reported by such REITs, or based on management’s estimates to the extent actual information has not been reported. Estimates are adjusted to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined. 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 and includes proceeds from litigation, if any. 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.
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.
Each Fund offers 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.
Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies 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 foreign currencies, 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.
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 the ex-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. During the six months ended October 31, 2022, there were no short sales transactions.
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 loaned. 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.
Under the terms of the agreement, cash collateral received is invested in one or more approved investments. 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 October 31, 2022, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

| (1) | Collateral with a value of $13,512,418 and $18,834,785, respectively, has been received in connection with securities lending transactions. The amount of collateral reflected in the table does not include any over-collateralization received by the Fund. |
| (2) | Net exposure represents the receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default. |
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, and financial futures contracts, may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
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 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.
For the six months ended October 31, 2022, the International Fund and Global Alpha Equities Fund used equity index futures contracts to manage equity market exposure.

The International and Real Asset Funds had forward foreign currency activity during the period but did not have open positions at any quarter-end.
Certain Funds are parties to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“MA”) with various counterparties that govern over-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 of Investments or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
At October 31, 2022, derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty net of amounts available for offset under a MA and net of the related collateral received by each Fund are as follows:

4. | FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION |
No provision for federal income taxes has been made, as it is each Fund’s policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute to shareholders each year all of its taxable income and realized gains.
Each Fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the tax returns are filed. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. The Funds do not have any unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions that would require a provision for income tax. Accordingly, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties for the six months ended October 31, 2022.
The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings are finalized at fiscal year-end. Accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.
As of October 31, 2022, the cost of investments and derivatives for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments and derivatives for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments and derivatives for which there was an excess of tax cost over value, were as follows:

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.
Global financial markets continue to experience volatility partially related to the military action by Russia in Ukraine. As a result of this military action, the US and many other countries continue to have sanctions against Russia and certain Russian individuals, banks and corporations. The ongoing hostilities and resulting sanctions are expected to have adverse effect on the region’s economies and more globally, including negative impact on markets for certain securities and the rising cost of commodities, such as oil and natural gas. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions, and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be prolonged and impact the Funds’ overall performance. In addition, the global outbreak of COVID-19 continues to have an impact on market volatility and global business, impacting the global economy and the financial health of individual companies in unforeseen ways.
The principal risks of investing in the Funds are described more fully in the Funds’ prospectus.
8. | 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 is available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the highest of (a) the federal funds effective rate for such day, (b) the Daily Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) for such day plus 0.10%, or (c) zero percent. The LOC includes a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion. The LOC expires on March 31, 2023.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2022.

DISCUSSION OF RENEWAL OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS
Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements Generally
At a meeting held on September 14-15, 2022 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of the Trust agreed to approve the renewal of the Trust’s investment advisory agreements and sub-advisory agreements (collectively, the “Advisory Agreements”). The agreement renewal process was divided into two Board meetings of the Independent Trustees of the Trust to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
On August 25, 2022, the Board held a special meeting (the “August Meeting”) with personnel of the Adviser and Counsel to give preliminary consideration to information bearing on the continuation of the Advisory Agreements with WFMC and with WTIA and the Advisory Agreements between the three multi-manager Funds (the “Sub-Advised Funds”) and their respective sub-advisers (the “Sub-Advisers”). At the August Meeting, the Independent Trustees evaluated the information that the Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees and developed a request for additional and clarifying information that was responded to by the Adviser and discussed at the September Meeting.
At the August Meeting, the Adviser also provided the Board with an initial basis for the approval of each Advisory Agreement between the Sub-Advised Funds and their respective Sub-Advisers and discussed with the Board a variety of information about the Sub-Advised Funds and their Sub-Advisers, including information that each Sub-Adviser provided in response to a written request from Counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees concerning its investment advisory services, operations, compliance program and other matters.
In agreeing to renew the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered, among other things:
| • | | Information about the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including management style, particular investment strategies and prevailing market conditions experienced in the prior year; the fees and expenses of each Fund, including any applicable fee waiver or expense cap; the costs of the services and potential economies of scale; and fallout or ancillary benefits to the Adviser from managing each Fund; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparisons of fee and expense data; |
| • | | Reports from a leading, independent source of mutual fund industry data describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, peer comparative performance data; |
| • | | Information from the Adviser describing, on a Fund-by-Fund basis, each Fund’s performance (over multiple periods) compared with the Fund’s benchmark(s) and peer groups, as applicable; |
| • | | Information about fees paid by other clients of the Adviser (and each Sub-Adviser, as relevant and available) that have substantially similar investment objectives to the corresponding Fund; |
| • | | The nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser with respect to the Sub-Advisers and the Adviser’s evaluation and recommendation of the approval of the renewal of the Advisory Agreements with each Sub-Adviser; |
| • | | For each Sub-Adviser, the nature and quality of services provided; the costs to the Sub-Adviser of providing those services, as available; the potential for economies of scale; potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; and the financial stability of the Sub-Adviser and its parent companies, as relevant; and |
| • | | The financial stability of the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser and their parent companies, when relevant. |
During the agreement renewal process, the Board reviewed, considered and discussed, among themselves and with the Adviser and Counsel, the information described above. Counsel advised the Independent Trustees on their responsibilities under state and federal law with respect to the renewals and met with the Independent Trustees in executive sessions. The Board also considered reports provided by the Adviser throughout the year concerning each Fund with respect to, among other things, investment, compliance and operational matters; brokerage and portfolio transactions; allocation of soft dollars for research products and services; portfolio turnover rates; and other benefits from the allocation of transactions to certain brokers. The Board took into account information provided by the Adviser with respect to the effect on performance of asset allocations required by a Fund’s investment strategy or implemented by the Adviser at its discretion. The Board also considered the Adviser’s profitability in providing services under the Advisory Agreements and concluded that, for each Fund, the level of profitability did not appear unreasonably high.
At the September Meeting, the Board approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements based on all of the relevant information and factors, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, and concluded the following:
| • | | The nature and extent of the investment advisory services to be provided to each Fund by the Adviser and each Sub-Adviser, as applicable, were consistent with the terms of the relevant Advisory Agreements; |
| • | | The prospects for satisfactory investment performance were reasonable; and |
| • | | Renewal of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders. |
Wilmington International Fund
The Fund is sub-advised by AXA Investment Managers, Inc.; Berenberg Asset Management LLC; Nikko Asset Management Americas, Inc.; Parametric Portfolio Associates, LLC; and Schroder Investment Management North America, Inc.
| | |
| | SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT / October 31, 2022 (unaudited) |
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered the performance of each Sub-Adviser against an appropriate benchmark and that the Fund had achieved total return performance below the peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2022. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s underperformance and its view that underperformance could be explained by sector allocation, with some additional underperformance attributed to style positioning. The Fund’s underexposure to energy and more defensive stocks, combined with excess exposure to technology and cyclical stocks, drove performance down. This positioning was impacted by the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, which caused energy prices to rise dramatically, and has been exacerbated by the rising interest rate environment, which put pressure on the Fund’s longer-duration growth holdings.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund
The Fund is sub-advised by Wellington Management Company LLP.
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered that the Fund had achieved total return performance above the peer group average for the one- and five-year periods, and below the peer group average for the three-year period, ended June 30, 2022, and that the Fund has a defensive strategy that will under-perform in rising markets, and has strong risk-adjusted performance.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington Real Asset Fund
The Fund is sub-advised by Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC.
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate and net total expense ratio were below the Fund’s expense group median. The Board also considered that the Fund had achieved total return performance above the peer group average for the one- and five-year periods, and below the peer group average for the three-year period, ended June 30, 2022.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.

| • | | We may receive information from you, or from your financial representative, through transactions with us or others, correspondence, and other communications. Examples of this information include specific investments and your account balances. |
| • | | We may obtain other personal information from you in connection with providing you a financial product or service. Examples of this information include depository, debit or credit account numbers. |
Information Sharing Policy
The Funds may share nonpublic personal information about you, as described above, with financial or non-financial companies or other entities, including companies that may be affiliated with the Funds and other nonaffiliated third parties, for the following purposes:
| • | | We may share information when it is necessary and required to process a transaction or to service a customer relationship. For example, information may be shared with a company that provides account record keeping services or a company that provides proxy services to shareholders. |
| • | | We may share information when it is required or permitted by law. For example, information may be shared in response to a subpoena or to protect you against fraud or with someone who has established a legal beneficial interest, such as a power of attorney. |
| • | | We may disclose some or all the information described above to companies that perform marketing or other services on our behalf. For example, we may share information about you with the financial intermediary (bank, investment bank or broker-dealer) through whom you purchased the Funds’ products or services, or with providers of marketing, legal, accounting, or other professional services. The Funds will not, however, disclose a consumer’s account number or similar form of access number or access code for credit card, deposit or transaction accounts to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail or other marketing purposes. In all such cases, we provide the third party with only the information necessary to carry out its assigned responsibilities and direct such third parties to only use your information for the purpose it was provided. We require these third parties to treat your personal information with the same high degree of confidentiality that we do. |
Except as described above, the Funds do not share customer information. We will not rent, sell, trade, or otherwise release or disclose any personal information about you. Any information you provide to us is for the Funds’ use only. If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described in this notice.
Information Security
When the Funds share nonpublic customer information with third parties hired to facilitate the delivery of certain products or services to our customers, such information is made available for limited purposes and under controlled circumstances designed to protect our customers’ privacy. We require third parties to comply with our standards regarding security and confidentiality of such information, and to have an information security program in place that is reasonably designed to safeguard customer records and information. We do not permit third parties to use that information for their own or any other purposes, or rent, sell, trade, or otherwise release or disclose the information to any other party. These requirements are reflected in written agreements between the Funds and the third-party service providers.
The Funds protect your personal information in several ways. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information. In addition, the Funds’ Transfer Agent and Shareholder Servicing Agent have procedures in place for the appropriate disposal of nonpublic personal information when they are no longer required to maintain the information.
Each of the following sections explains an aspect of the Funds’ commitment to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.

Employee Access to Information
Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of customer information, and requires that it be held in the strictest of confidence. Employee access to customer information is authorized for business purposes only, and the degree of access is based on the sensitivity of the information and on an employee’s or agent’s need to know the information to service a customer’s account or comply with legal requirements.
Visiting the Funds’ Website
The Funds’ website gathers and maintains statistics about the number of visitors as well as what information is viewed most frequently. This information is used to improve the content and level of service we provide to our clients and shareholders.
• | | Information or data entered into a website will be retained. |
• | | Where registration to a website or re-entering personal information on a website is required, “cookies” are used to improve your online experience. A cookie is a way for websites to recognize whether you have visited the site before. It is a small file that is stored on your computer that identifies you each time you re-visit the Funds’ website, so you don’t have to resubmit personal information. Cookies provide faster access into the website. |
• | | We may also collect non-personally identifiable Internet Protocol (“IP”) addresses for all other visitors to monitor the number of visitors to the site. These non-personally identifiable IP addresses are never shared with any third party. |
E-mail
If you have opted to receive marketing information from the Funds by e-mail, it is our policy to include instructions in all marketing messages on how to unsubscribe from subsequent e-mail programs. Some products or services from the Funds are intended to be delivered and serviced electronically. E-mail communication may be utilized in such cases. If you participate in an employer-sponsored retirement plan administered by the Funds, we may, at your employer’s request, send you e-mails on matters pertaining to the retirement plan.
Please do not provide any account or personal information such as social security numbers, account numbers, or account balances within your e-mail correspondence to the Funds or its agents. We cannot use e-mail to execute transaction instructions, provide personal account information, or change account registration. We can, however, use e-mail to provide you with the necessary forms or you may contact customer service toll-free at 1-800-836-2211.
What You Can Do
The safety and security of your Personal Information also depends on you. You are responsible for keeping your account information, such as your account number and login information for our website, confidential. For your protection, we recommend that you do not provide your account information, username, or password to anyone except a representative of the Funds as appropriate for a transaction or to set up an account. If you become aware of any suspicious activity relating to your account, please contact us immediately.
Surveys/Aggregate Data
Periodically, the Funds may conduct surveys about financial products and services or review elements of customer information to forecast future business needs. The Funds then generate reports that include aggregate data regarding its customers. Aggregate data classifies customer information in various ways but that does not identify individual customers. These reports may also include information on website traffic patterns and related information. These reports are used for the Funds’ planning, statistical and other corporate purposes. Aggregate data may also be shared with external parties, such as marketing organizations. However, no information is shared by which any individual customer could be identified.
Changes to Our Privacy Statement
The effective date of this policy is December 9, 2021. We reserve the right to modify this policy at any time. When it is revised or materially changed, we will update the effective date. You can determine whether there have been changes since the last time you reviewed by simply checking the effective date.
Notice will be provided to you in advance of any changes that would affect your rights under this policy statement.
