PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Financial Statements of the Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy Fund and Large-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2024, through October 31, 2024.
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
Overall, the semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was strong from both a markets and economic perspective. In the U.S., Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) logged a +2.8% quarter-over-quarter increase (July-September), anchored by strong domestic consumption and an expansion of government spending. U.S. consumers continued to support the economy as shown by retail sales figures that surprised to the upside in five out of six months. The aggregate pace of retail sales on a year-over-year basis, however, continued to normalize, supporting our baseline economic view of a “soft landing”. Waning inflation pressure was another major development during the period with the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) preferred gauge of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (“PCE”), increasing just 2.1% year-over-year in September, essentially right at the Fed’s target. Core inflation continued to run slightly higher than target, driven almost entirely by the shelter component, which typically lags price changes in real-time indices like Zillow. The labor market, arguably the biggest focus for both the Fed and investors during the period, showed signs of slowing as the trend of net new jobs added to the U.S. economy’s continued decline. Labor demand was also an area of concern as job openings remained on a steep downward trajectory which, if continued unabated, would slow real income and weigh on consumer demand. Taken together, a soft landing for the U.S. economy remains our base case, but the probability of a recession in 2025 has, in our opinion, moved up slightly to approximately 35%.
The interest rate environment remained dynamic as the Fed began loosening monetary policy during the period. The Fed cut their target rate by 50 basis points1 in September as Fed Chair Powell messaged the large rate move as a “recalibration” of policy, while insisting the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was not concerned about the economy. The FOMC’s new interest rate projections showed expectations of an additional 50 basis points of cuts in 2024 followed by a slower pace next year, with another 100 basis points of cuts in 2025.
Aside from the economic backdrop, the U.S. presidential election was a major focal point for investors as they attempted to read through the broad policy proposals of both candidates. The election cycle itself was unprecedented in many regards. The incumbent, President Joe Biden stepped out of the race in late-July following pressure from Democratic leaders and donors. Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, proposing to roll back the Trump-era tax cuts while expanding the child tax credit and targeting corporate price gouging. Former-President Trump campaigned on the key pillars of broad-based tariffs on China and other trading partners, mass deportations of illegal immigrants, and full extension of the expiring provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The broad range of potential outcomes led to increased volatility as the market attempted to price in the election’s impact on economic growth, the fiscal deficit, and the path of interest rates.
Abroad, the economic picture remained murky as GDP growth in Europe expanded by a meager 0.4% from July to September. Price pressure has essentially disappeared from the economy with September inflation data revised down to 1.7% year-over-year, much lower than the European Central Bank (“ECB”) expected and signaling potential stagnation. Additionally, incoming data on economic activity across Europe’s largest economies continues to surprise to the downside suggesting that countries such as Germany and France are flirting with recession. Due to the impending economic challenges, the ECB cut rates, starting in June, by 110 basis points during the period. Overall, the outlook for weak growth, low inflation, and the failure of the long-awaited consumer-led recovery dims the investment prospects across the European continent. We remain underweight to developed international economies across our portfolios.
In Japan, there were several major headlines during the period but none more impactful than the rapid unwinding of the yen carry trade in early-August. The violent unwinding, sparked by the surprise rate hike from the Bank of Japan, reverberated across global equity markets leading to substantial and rapid losses. In China, the People’s Bank of China announced a comprehensive stimulus package in September to support the general economy, property markets, and equity markets. Chinese consumer confidence remains at the lowest level on record due to the bleak outlook in the job market and wealth shrinkage from falling property prices.

Bond markets
Fixed income markets improved significantly during the period as yields pushed lower across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield declined 37 basis points to 4.3% while the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 87 basis points ending the period at 4.17%. Overall, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced 5.3% as markets continued to price a looser monetary policy backdrop. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-minus-2y disinverted for the first time in two years, ending at +14 bps. The 10y-minus-3m slope remained in inverted territory but re-steepened substantially. Volatility in the bond market remained heightened, as measured by the MOVE Index, a gauge in volatility in the Treasury market, ending the period at 135.2 compared to its five-year average of 83.9.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, certain Bloomberg indices performed as follows:2

Equity markets
U.S. equity market performance was robust with large-cap and small-cap stocks both delivering strong returns. Overall, the S&P 500 gained 14.08% as breadth in the market improved substantially. Utilities and real estate were the best performing sectors in the index followed by technology and financials. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to decline during the semi-annual period. Elsewhere, U.S. small-cap stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Index) advanced 12.05%, benefitting from a lower interest rate environment and a beneficial valuation backdrop. Returns in international indices lagged the U.S. market as the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index was up 3.66% and the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index returned 8.59%.

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.

| 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 the 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 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. |
| 9. | 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 $9.7 million to $11.4 billion. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. |

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. |
| 11. | 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 24 Emerging Markets countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2024 (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 that in matters affecting only a particular fund or class, only shares of that fund or class are entitled to vote.
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 Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has adopted Valuation Policies and Procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) and has delegated responsibilities to Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”), in its role as the Trust’s investment advisor, with respect to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Advisor, acting through its Pricing Committee, carries out all of the functions set forth below to determine fair value in good faith with respect to a Fund’s investments. 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 by the Advisor in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. |
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 Advisor, 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
SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION / October 31, 2024 (unaudited)
| | |
| 23 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2024, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

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.
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, 2024, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

| Fund | | Value of
Securities

| Large-Cap Strategy Fund | | $2,078,514 | | $2,078,514 | | $— |
| | (1) | | Collateral with a value of $2,162,032 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 |
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, 2024.
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.

There is a risk that the value of a Fund’s investments may decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by a Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets, market disruptions caused by local or regional events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other public health issues, recessions or other events or adverse investor sentiment or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Market risk includes the risk that a particular style of investing, such as growth or value, may underperform the market generally.
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 BNY, which was renewed and became effective March 28, 2024. 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. Commitment fees allocated to the Funds are included in Miscellaneous expenses on the statement of operations. The LOC expires on March 26, 2025.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2024.
| 9. | NEW REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENT |
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds. The rule and form amendments require mutual funds to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The compliance date for the amendments is for shareholder reports filed on or after July 24, 2024.

Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on September 23-24, 2024 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust,” and each series, a “Fund”) 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 Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), of the Trust, to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
At a meeting held on August 19, 2024 (the “August Meeting”), the Board met with personnel of Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC”), Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA,” and together with WFMC, the “Adviser”), and independent counsel to the Independent Trustees (“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 Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington International Fund and Wilmington Real Asset Fund (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 that was sent 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; and potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; 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 performance, 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. The Board generally concluded that, for each Fund, the consideration of each factor above supported the renewal of each Advisory Agreement.
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 Large-Cap Strategy 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 generally in line with the peer group average for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2024, and above the peer group average for the five-year period ended June 30, 2024.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington Enhanced Dividend Income Strategy 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 achieved total return performance below the peer group average for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s underperformance and its view that underperformance could be explained by the Fund’s allocation, consistent with its investment objective, to higher-paying dividend stocks, which lagged lower-and non-dividend paying stocks during the periods. The Board considered that the Fund’s strategy tends to underperform when lower-yielding and lower quality stocks are favored, and that the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the one- and three-year periods ended June 30, 2024.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Financial Statements of the International Fund, Global Alpha Equities Fund, and Real Asset Fund (the “Funds”), covering the semi-annual fiscal period of May 1, 2024, through October 31, 2024.
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
Overall, the semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was strong from both a markets and economic perspective. In the U.S., Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) logged a +2.8% quarter-over-quarter increase (July-September), anchored by strong domestic consumption and an expansion of government spending. U.S. consumers continued to support the economy as shown by retail sales figures that surprised to the upside in five out of six months. The aggregate pace of retail sales on a year-over-year basis, however, continued to normalize, supporting our baseline economic view of a “soft landing”. Waning inflation pressure was another major development during the period with the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) preferred gauge of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (“PCE”), increasing just 2.1% year-over-year in September, essentially right at the Fed’s target. Core inflation continued to run slightly higher than target, driven almost entirely by the shelter component, which typically lags price changes in real-time indices like Zillow. The labor market, arguably the biggest focus for both the Fed and investors during the period, showed signs of slowing as the trend of net new jobs added to the U.S. economy’s continued decline. Labor demand was also an area of concern as job openings remained on a steep downward trajectory which, if continued unabated, would slow real income and weigh on consumer demand. Taken together, a soft landing for the U.S. economy remains our base case, but the probability of a recession in 2025 has, in our opinion, moved up slightly to approximately 35%.
The interest rate environment remained dynamic as the Fed began loosening monetary policy during the period. The Fed cut their target rate by 50 basis points1 in September as Fed Chair Powell messaged the large rate move as a “recalibration” of policy, while insisting the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was not concerned about the economy. The FOMC’s new interest rate projections showed expectations of an additional 50 basis points of cuts in 2024 followed by a slower pace next year, with another 100 basis points of cuts in 2025.
Aside from the economic backdrop, the U.S. presidential election was a major focal point for investors as they attempted to read through the broad policy proposals of both candidates. The election cycle itself was unprecedented in many regards. The incumbent, President Joe Biden stepped out of the race in late-July following pressure from Democratic leaders and donors. Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, proposing to roll back the Trump-era tax cuts while expanding the child tax credit and targeting corporate price gouging. Former-President Trump campaigned on the key pillars of broad-based tariffs on China and other trading partners, mass deportations of illegal immigrants, and full extension of the expiring provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The broad range of potential outcomes led to increased volatility as the market attempted to price in the election’s impact on economic growth, the fiscal deficit, and the path of interest rates.
Abroad, the economic picture remained murky as GDP growth in Europe expanded by a meager 0.4% from July to September. Price pressure has essentially disappeared from the economy with September inflation data revised down to 1.7% year-over-year, much lower than the European Central Bank (“ECB”) expected and signaling potential stagnation. Additionally, incoming data on economic activity across Europe’s largest economies continues to surprise to the downside suggesting that countries such as Germany and France are flirting with recession. Due to the impending economic challenges, the ECB cut rates, starting in June, by 110 basis points during the period. Overall, the outlook for weak growth, low inflation, and the failure of the long-awaited consumer-led recovery dims the investment prospects across the European continent. We remain underweight to developed international economies across our portfolios.
In Japan, there were several major headlines during the period but none more impactful than the rapid unwinding of the yen carry trade in early-August. The violent unwinding, sparked by the surprise rate hike from the Bank of Japan , reverberated across global equity markets leading to substantial and rapid losses. In China, the People’s Bank of China announced a comprehensive stimulus package in September to support the general economy, property markets, and equity markets. Chinese consumer confidence remains at the lowest level on record due to the bleak outlook in the job market and wealth shrinkage from falling property prices.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / October 31, 2024

Bond markets
Fixed income markets improved significantly during the period as yields pushed lower across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield declined 37 basis points to 4.3% while the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 87 basis points ending the period at 4.17%. Overall, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced 5.3% as markets continued to price a looser monetary policy backdrop. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-minus-2y disinverted for the first time in two years, ending at +14 bps. The 10y-minus-3m slope remained in inverted territory but re-steepened substantially. Volatility in the bond market remained heightened, as measured by the MOVE Index, a gauge in volatility in the Treasury market, ending the period at 135.2 compared to its five-year average of 83.9.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, certain Bloomberg indices performed as follows:2
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index3 | | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 | | Bloomberg U.S. Credit Bond Index5 | | Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 | | Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index7 |
| | | | |

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Equity markets
U.S. equity market performance was robust with large-cap and small-cap stocks both delivering strong returns. Overall, the S&P 500 gained 14.08% as breadth in the market improved substantially. Utilities and real estate were the best performing sectors in the index followed by technology and financials. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to decline during the semi-annual period. Elsewhere, U.S. small-cap stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Index) advanced 12.05%, benefitting from a lower interest rate environment and a beneficial valuation backdrop. Returns in international indices lagged the U.S. market as the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index was up 3.66% and the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index returned 8.59%.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, 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. |
| 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 the 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 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. |
| 9. | 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 $9.7 million to $11.4 billion. The index is unmanaged and investments cannot be made directly in an index. |
| 10. | 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. |
| 11. | 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 24 Emerging Markets countries: Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United Arab Emirates.

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2024 (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 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 that in matters affecting only a particular fund or class, only shares of that fund or class are entitled to vote.
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 Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has adopted Valuation Policies and Procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) and has delegated responsibilities to Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”), in its role as the Trust’s investment advisor, with respect to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Advisor, acting through its Pricing Committee, carries out all of the functions set forth below to determine fair value in good faith with respect to a Fund’s investments. 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 Advisor 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 by the Advisor in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. |
SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION / October 31, 2024 (unaudited)
| | |
| 35 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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 Advisor, 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, aftermar-ket 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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2024, 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 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 the Valuation Procedures.
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.
SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION / October 31, 2024 (unaudited)
| | |
| 37 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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, 2024, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

| | (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 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, 2024, the International Fund and Global Alpha Equities Fund used equity index futures contracts to manage equity market exposure.
The following is a summary of the location of derivatives on the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the fair value of the Funds’ derivative investments categorized by primary risk exposure as of October 31, 2024.

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, 2024, 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, 2024.

There is a risk that the value of a Fund’s investments may decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by a Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets, market disruptions caused by local or regional events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other public health issues, recessions or other events or adverse investor sentiment or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets. Market risk includes the risk that a particular style of investing, such as growth or value, may underperform the market generally.
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.

Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on September 23-24, 2024 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust,” and each series, a “Fund”) 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 Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), of the Trust, to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
At a meeting held on August 19, 2024 (the “August Meeting”), the Board met with personnel of Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC”), Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA,” and together with WFMC, the “Adviser”), and independent counsel to the Independent Trustees (“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 Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington International Fund and Wilmington Real Asset Fund (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 that was sent 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:

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. The Board generally concluded that, for each Fund, the consideration of each factor above supported the renewal of each Advisory Agreement.
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 Wellington Management Company LLP.
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate (which included both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser fees) was below the Fund’s expense group median and net total expense ratio was equal to 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-year period ended June 30, 2024, and below the peer group average for the three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024. The Board considered that it had previously considered and approved the Fund’s structural change to transition away from a multi-subadviser approach to a single sub-adviser (Wellington Management Company LLP) in September of 2023, and the Fund’s outperformance of its peer group and benchmark since those changes were implemented.
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 (which included both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser fees) 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-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024.
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 (which included both the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser fees) 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, 2024. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s performance and that the fund has generally performed in line with management’s expectations of its investment objective. In addition, the Board considered management’s view that peer group comparisons are difficult due to differences in asset allocations and exposures, particularly in equity positions, among the funds in the peer group.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (unaudited)
Esteemed Shareholder:
I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Financial Statements 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, 2024, through October 31, 2024.
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
Overall, the semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was strong from both a markets and economic perspective. In the U.S., Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) logged a +2.8% quarter-over-quarter increase (July-September), anchored by strong domestic consumption and an expansion of government spending. U.S. consumers continued to support the economy as shown by retail sales figures that surprised to the upside in five out of six months. The aggregate pace of retail sales on a year-over-year basis, however, continued to normalize, supporting our baseline economic view of a “soft landing”. Waning inflation pressure was another major development during the period with the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) preferred gauge of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (“PCE”), increasing just 2.1% year-over-year in September, essentially right at the Fed’s target. Core inflation continued to run slightly higher than target, driven almost entirely by the shelter component, which typically lags price changes in real-time indices like Zillow. The labor market, arguably the biggest focus for both the Fed and investors during the period, showed signs of slowing as the trend of net new jobs added to the U.S. economy’s continued decline. Labor demand was also an area of concern as job openings remained on a steep downward trajectory which, if continued unabated, would slow real income and weigh on consumer demand. Taken together, a soft landing for the U.S. economy remains our base case, but the probability of a recession in 2025 has, in our opinion, moved up slightly to approximately 35%.
The interest rate environment remained dynamic as the Fed began loosening monetary policy during the period. The Fed cut their target rate by 50 basis points1 in September as Fed Chair Powell messaged the large rate move as a “recalibration” of policy, while insisting the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was not concerned about the economy. The FOMC’s new interest rate projections showed expectations of an additional 50 basis points of cuts in 2024 followed by a slower pace next year, with another 100 basis points of cuts in 2025.
Aside from the economic backdrop, the U.S. presidential election was a major focal point for investors as they attempted to read through the broad policy proposals of both candidates. The election cycle itself was unprecedented in many regards. The incumbent, President Joe Biden stepped out of the race in late-July following pressure from Democratic leaders and donors. Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, proposing to roll back the Trump-era tax cuts while expanding the child tax credit and targeting corporate price gouging. Former-President Trump campaigned on the key pillars of broad-based tariffs on China and other trading partners, mass deportations of illegal immigrants, and full extension of the expiring provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The broad range of potential outcomes led to increased volatility as the market attempted to price in the election’s impact on economic growth, the fiscal deficit, and the path of interest rates.
Abroad, the economic picture remained murky as GDP growth in Europe expanded by a meager 0.4% from July to September. Price pressure has essentially disappeared from the economy with September inflation data revised down to 1.7% year-over-year, much lower than the European Central Bank (“ECB”) expected and signaling potential stagnation. Additionally, incoming data on economic activity across Europe’s largest economies continues to surprise to the downside suggesting that countries such as Germany and France are flirting with recession. Due to the impending economic challenges, the ECB cut rates, starting in June, by 110 basis points during the period. Overall, the outlook for weak growth, low inflation, and the failure of the long-awaited consumer-led recovery dims the investment prospects across the European continent. We remain underweight to developed international economies across our portfolios.
In Japan, there were several major headlines during the period but none more impactful than the rapid unwinding of the yen carry trade in early-August. The violent unwinding, sparked by the surprise rate hike from the Bank of Japan , reverberated across global equity markets leading to substantial and rapid losses. In China, the People’s Bank of China announced a comprehensive stimulus package in September to support the general economy, property markets, and equity markets. Chinese consumer confidence remains at the lowest level on record due to the bleak outlook in the job market and wealth shrinkage from falling property prices.
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / October 31, 2024

Bond markets
Fixed income markets improved significantly during the period as yields pushed lower across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield declined 37 basis points to 4.3% while the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 87 basis points ending the period at 4.17%. Overall, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced 5.3% as markets continued to price a looser monetary policy backdrop. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-minus-2y disinverted for the first time in two years, ending at +14 bps. The 10y-minus-3m slope remained in inverted territory but re-steepened substantially. Volatility in the bond market remained heightened, as measured by the MOVE Index, a gauge in volatility in the Treasury market, ending the period at 135.2 compared to its five-year average of 83.9.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, certain Bloomberg indices performed as follows:2
| | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index3 | | Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 | | Bloomberg U.S. Credit Bond Index5 | | Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index6 | | Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High Yield Bond Index7 |

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Equity markets
U.S. equity market performance was robust with large-cap and small-cap stocks both delivering strong returns. Overall, the S&P 500 gained 14.08% as breadth in the market improved substantially. Utilities and real estate were the best performing sectors in the index followed by technology and financials. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to decline during the semi-annual period. Elsewhere, U.S. small-cap stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Index) advanced 12.05%, benefitting from a lower interest rate environment and a beneficial valuation backdrop. Returns in international indices lagged the U.S. market as the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index was up 3.66% and the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index returned 8.59%.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, 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.
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, they cannot guarantee they 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.

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2024 (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 offer Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Institutional Class and Preferred Institutional Class shares. The Preferred Institutional Class for each Fund commenced operations on December 29, 2023. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except that in matters affecting only a particular fund or class, only shares of that fund or class are entitled to vote.
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, 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.
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
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION / October 31, 2024 (unaudited)
| | |
| 13 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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, 2024, 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. 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, 2024.
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.

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.

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.

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 BNY, which was renewed and became effective March 28, 2024. 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. Commitment fees allocated to the Funds are included in Miscellaneous expenses on the statement of operations. The LOC expires on March 26, 2025.

| 8. | NEW REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENT |
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds. The rule and form amendments require mutual funds to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The compliance date for the amendments is for shareholder reports filed on or after July 24, 2024.
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.

Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on September 23-24, 2024 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust,” and each series, a “Fund”) 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 Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), of the Trust, to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
At a meeting held on August 19, 2024 (the “August Meeting”), the Board met with personnel of Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC”), Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA,” and together with WFMC, the “Adviser”), and independent counsel to the Independent Trustees (“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 Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington International Fund and Wilmington Real Asset Fund (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 that was sent 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; and potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; 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 performance, 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. The Board generally concluded that, for each Fund, the consideration of each factor above supported the renewal of each Advisory Agreement.
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 slightly outperformed the Lipper Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Funds peer group average for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024. The Board also considered that the Fund slightly outperformed the iMoneyNet, Inc. Government and Agency Institutional Average for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund
The Board considered that the Fund’s net management fee rate was below the Fund’s expense group median and net total expense ratio was above the Fund’s expense group median and considered the fee waivers in place for the Fund. The Board also considered that the Fund slightly outperformed the Lipper Institutional U.S. Treasury Money Market Funds peer group average for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024. The Board also considered that the Fund slightly outperformed the iMoneyNet, Inc. Treasury and Repo Institutional Average for each of the one-, three- and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.

I am pleased to present the Semi-Annual Financial Statements 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, 2024, through October 31, 2024.
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
Overall, the semi-annual fiscal period between May and October was strong from both a markets and economic perspective. In the U.S., Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) logged a +2.8% quarter-over-quarter increase (July-September), anchored by strong domestic consumption and an expansion of government spending. U.S. consumers continued to support the economy as shown by retail sales figures that surprised to the upside in five out of six months. The aggregate pace of retail sales on a year-over-year basis, however, continued to normalize, supporting our baseline economic view of a “soft landing”. Waning inflation pressure was another major development during the period with the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) preferred gauge of inflation, the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (“PCE”), increasing just 2.1% year-over-year in September, essentially right at the Fed’s target. Core inflation continued to run slightly higher than target, driven almost entirely by the shelter component, which typically lags price changes in real-time indices like Zillow. The labor market, arguably the biggest focus for both the Fed and investors during the period, showed signs of slowing as the trend of net new jobs added to the U.S. economy’s continued decline. Labor demand was also an area of concern as job openings remained on a steep downward trajectory which, if continued unabated, would slow real income and weigh on consumer demand. Taken together, a soft landing for the U.S. economy remains our base case, but the probability of a recession in 2025 has, in our opinion, moved up slightly to approximately 35%.
The interest rate environment remained dynamic as the Fed began loosening monetary policy during the period. The Fed cut their target rate by 50 basis points1 in September as Fed Chair Powell messaged the large rate move as a “recalibration” of policy, while insisting the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) was not concerned about the economy. The FOMC’s new interest rate projections showed expectations of an additional 50 basis points of cuts in 2024 followed by a slower pace next year, with another 100 basis points of cuts in 2025.
Aside from the economic backdrop, the U.S. presidential election was a major focal point for investors as they attempted to read through the broad policy proposals of both candidates. The election cycle itself was unprecedented in many regards. The incumbent, President Joe Biden stepped out of the race in late-July following pressure from Democratic leaders and donors. Vice President Kamala Harris took his place, proposing to roll back the Trump-era tax cuts while expanding the child tax credit and targeting corporate price gouging. Former-President Trump campaigned on the key pillars of broad-based tariffs on China and other trading partners, mass deportations of illegal immigrants, and full extension of the expiring provisions in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The broad range of potential outcomes led to increased volatility as the market attempted to price in the election’s impact on economic growth, the fiscal deficit, and the path of interest rates.
Abroad, the economic picture remained murky as GDP growth in Europe expanded by a meager 0.4% from July to September. Price pressure has essentially disappeared from the economy with September inflation data revised down to 1.7% year-over-year, much lower than the European Central Bank (“ECB”) expected and signaling potential stagnation. Additionally, incoming data on economic activity across Europe’s largest economies continues to surprise to the downside suggesting that countries such as Germany and France are flirting with recession. Due to the impending economic challenges, the ECB cut rates, starting in June, by 110 basis points during the period. Overall, the outlook for weak growth, low inflation, and the failure of the long-awaited consumer-led recovery dims the investment prospects across the European continent. We remain underweight to developed international economies across our portfolios.
In Japan, there were several major headlines during the period but none more impactful than the rapid unwinding of the yen carry trade in early-August. The violent unwinding, sparked by the surprise rate hike from the Bank of Japan, reverberated across global equity markets leading to substantial and rapid losses. In China, the People’s Bank of China announced a comprehensive stimulus package in September to support the general economy, property markets, and equity markets. Chinese consumer confidence remains at the lowest level on record due to the bleak outlook in the job market and wealth shrinkage from falling property prices.

Bond markets
Fixed income markets improved significantly during the period as yields pushed lower across the curve. The 10-year Treasury yield declined 37 basis points to 4.3% while the 2-year Treasury yield dropped 87 basis points ending the period at 4.17%. Overall, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index advanced 5.3% as markets continued to price a looser monetary policy backdrop. As for yield curve slopes, the 10y-minus-2y disinverted for the first time in two years, ending at +14 bps. The 10y-minus-3m slope remained in inverted territory but re-steepened substantially. Volatility in the bond market remained heightened, as measured by the MOVE Index, a gauge in volatility in the Treasury market, ending the period at 135.2 compared to its five-year average of 83.9.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, certain Bloomberg indices performed as follows:2

| | | | |

Equity markets
U.S. equity market performance was robust with large-cap and small-cap stocks both delivering strong returns. Overall, the S&P 500 gained 14.08% as breadth in the market improved substantially. Utilities and real estate were the best performing sectors in the index followed by technology and financials. Energy was the only S&P 500 sector to decline during the semi-annual period. Elsewhere, U.S. small-cap stocks (as measured by the Russell 2000 Index) advanced 12.05%, benefitting from a lower interest rate environment and a beneficial valuation backdrop. Returns in international indices lagged the U.S. market as the MSCI EAFE (Net) Index was up 3.66% and the MSCI Emerging Markets (Net) Index returned 8.59%.
For the six-month period May 1, 2024 to October 31, 2024, 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. |
| 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.

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 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.

| Δ | Variable rate security. The rate disclosed is the rate in effect on the report date. The information in parenthesis represents the benchmark and reference rate for each relevant security and the rate floats based upon the reference rate and spread. The security may be further subject to interest rate floor and caps. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread, but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or, for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions. |
| W | Denotes a restricted security that may be resold without restriction to “qualified institutional buyers” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and that the Fund has determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. At October 31, 2024, these liquid restricted securities amounted to $5,709,947, representing 0.92% of total net assets. |
| # | Security, or a portion thereof, is on loan. See Note 2 in Notes to Financial Statements. |

Wilmington Funds
October 31, 2024 (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 that in matters affecting only a particular fund or class, only shares of that fund or class are entitled to vote.
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 Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) has adopted Valuation Policies and Procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) and has delegated responsibilities to Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”), in its role as the Trust’s investment advisor, with respect to the valuation of the Funds’ investments. The Advisor, acting through its Pricing Committee, carries out all of the functions set forth below to determine fair value in good faith with respect to a Fund’s investments. 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 by the Advisor in accordance with the Valuation Procedures. |
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 the Valuation Procedures. 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, 2024, 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.
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 the Valuation Procedures.
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
SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION / October 31, 2024 (unaudited)
| | |
| 29 | | NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
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, 2024, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fund | | Value of
Securities on Loan | | Cash

| | | |
| Broad Market Bond Fund | | | | $12,613,600 | | | | | $12,613,600 | | | | | $— | |
| | (1) | | Collateral with a value of $13,169,250 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 |
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, 2024.
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, 2024, the cost of investments for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all investments for which there was an excess of value over tax cost and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all investments for which there was an excess of tax cost over value, were as follows:

| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (concluded) | | 32 |
There is a risk that the value of a Fund’s investments may decrease in response to expected, real or perceived economic, political or financial events in the U.S. or global markets. The frequency and magnitude of such changes in value cannot be predicted. Certain securities and other investments held by a Fund may experience increased volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in response to changing market conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond or equity markets, volatility in the equity markets, market disruptions caused by local or regional events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics and pandemics) or other public health issues, recessions or other events or adverse investor sentiment or other political, regulatory, economic and social developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide due to increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets.
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 BNY, which was renewed and became effective March 28, 2024. 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. Commitment fees allocated to the Funds are included in Miscellaneous expenses on the statement of operations. The LOC expires on March 26, 2025.
The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the six months ended October 31, 2024.
| 9. | NEW REGULATORY PRONOUNCEMENTS |
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a rule and form amendments relating to tailored shareholder reports for mutual funds. The rule and form amendments require mutual funds to transmit streamlined shareholder reports that highlight key information to investors. The rule amendments require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The compliance date for the amendments is for shareholder reports filed with the SEC on or after July 24, 2024.
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.

Renewal of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
At a meeting held on September 23-24, 2024 (the “September Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust,” and each series, a “Fund”) 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 Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), of the Trust, to consider information relating to each Fund of the Trust, as generally described below.
At a meeting held on August 19, 2024 (the “August Meeting”), the Board met with personnel of Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC”), Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA,” and together with WFMC, the “Adviser”), and independent counsel to the Independent Trustees (“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 Wilmington Global Alpha Equities Fund, Wilmington International Fund and Wilmington Real Asset Fund (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 that was sent 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; and potential fall-out benefits to the Sub-Adviser; 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 performance, 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. The Board generally concluded that, for each Fund, the consideration of each factor above supported the renewal of each Advisory Agreement.
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 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 had achieved total return performance above the peer group average for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ended June 30, 2024.
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, 2024. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s underperformance and its view that underperformance could be explained by the Fund’s allocation to investment grade tax-exempt municipal securities, and lower allocation relative to peers to high yield municipal securities.
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 was below the Fund’s expense group median and net total expense ratio was above 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, 2024. The Board considered management’s explanation of the Fund’s underperformance and its view that underperformance could be explained by the Fund’s allocation to investment grade tax-exempt municipal securities, while the Fund’s peers invest relatively more in high-yield municipal securities and non-New York municipal securities that outperformed relative to the Fund’s holdings.
The Board determined that the Fund’s level of performance and expense generally supported the renewal of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
