Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund (the “Fund”), based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, was 14.54% for Class A Shares and Class F Shares, 13.56% for Class B Shares, 13.69% for Class C Shares and 14.71% for Institutional Shares.¹ The 14.71% total return of the Institutional Shares for the reporting period consisted of 5.71% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price appreciation of 9.00% in the net asset value. ² The total return of the S&P 25% A and Higher/25% BBB/50% High Yield, All 3-Year Plus Sub-Index (the “Blended Index”)³ was 14.24% during the reporting period. The total return of the Morningstar High Yield Muni Funds Average (MHYMFA),⁴ a peer group average for the Fund, was 13.73% during the reporting period. The Fund's and the MHYMFA's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the Blended Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) selection of lower-quality, investment-grade and noninvestment-grade securities⁵ (these securities typically have higher yields than high-quality, investment-grade securities available in the market); (b) security selection; (c) selection of intermediate- to long-term, tax-exempt municipal bonds that typically yield more than short-term, tax-exempt municipal bonds due to the upward sloping yield curve; (d) active adjustment of the Fund's duration⁶ (which indicates the portfolio sensitivity to changes in interest rates);⁷ and (e) allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”). These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the Blended Index during the reporting period.

The following discussion will focus on the performance of the Fund's Institutional Shares.

Market OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.34% in August 2013 to 3.03% in December of 2013, and then steadily declined to 2.42% at the end of the period. After an unusually weak GDP report in the first quarter of 2014, growth in economic activity rebounded and ongoing improvement in labor market conditions, with the unemployment rate declining, further supported expectations for continued moderate economic expansion. However, a range of labor market indicators suggested that there remained significant underutilization of labor resources. Financial conditions eased somewhat, although geopolitical risks such as the spillover from developments in the Middle East and Ukraine weighed on investor sentiment. Inflation had firmed in recent months and, as of the time of this writing, is expected to continue to move up toward the 2% objective of the Federal

Reserve (the “Fed”) as resource slack diminishes and inflation expectations remain relatively stable. The Fed made a measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in the light of continued progress in labor market conditions. Financial market conditions were influenced over the reporting period by the Fed communications, which indicated somewhat better than expected economic releases and developments in emerging market economies. Additionally, financial conditions in the U.S. remained supportive of growth. During the 12-month reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors, as concerns persisted about the prospects for a durable solution to the European fiscal and financial difficulties, which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. With regard to Europe, there continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks.

The amount of municipal bonds being issued during the reporting period was muted, which created a favorable technical environment (supply/demand imbalance) within the tax-exempt municipal bond market. A significant driver of the muted issuance was that the amount of municipal bonds being refunded collapsed as interest rates rose over the reporting period. This reduced the amount of municipal bonds being issued and helped to provide support for municipal bond prices and as a result, absolute performance. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market generally remained stable, although a few issuers continued to experience substantial strain and for the first time in several years the rating agencies made more upgrades than downgrades to municipal debt. However, Detroit's high profile bankruptcy and the increased erosion in the Puerto Rican economy and its related entities are still areas of idiosyncratic risk for the market. Also, Illinois continued to be unable to come to political terms over a solution for Illinois' underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued to exist. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny. However, many state and local municipal entities took actions to control pension costs, and this issue continued to be watched.

SECURITY SELECTION

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund held an underweight position in Puerto Rico bonds as compared to the Blended Index. Puerto Rico steeply underperformed, so the Fund's underweight position was a positive contribution to Fund performance relative to the Blended Index. Additionally, over the course of the 12-month reporting period, individual securities' returns from improved credit situations outnumbered losses from deteriorating situations. Accordingly, individual security selection contributed positively to Fund performance during the reporting period.

SECTOR

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund was overweight, as compared to the Blended Index, in Senior Care, Industrial Development and Transportation Bonds, each of which outperformed and helped the Fund's performance. Similarly, the Fund's underweight allocation to General Obligation Bonds relative to the Blended Index, which underperformed, was also beneficial to the Fund. Conversely, the Fund's overweight allocation to underperforming sectors such as Education, Utility and Pre-Refunded Bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account) detracted from Fund performance. Likewise an underweight position in Tobacco Settlement Bonds, which outperformed, was a drag on performance. As a whole, the Fund's sector allocations contributed positively to Fund performance relative to the Blended Index during the reporting period.

MATURITY AND YIELD CURVE

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's distribution of maturities along the yield curve, relative to the Blended Index, contributed negatively to Fund performance. In particular, the Fund's holding of bonds with short calls (compared to the Blended Index) underperformed as rates fell.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 5.57 years, substantially shorter than 7.99 years from beginning of the reporting period. Duration management remained a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. During the reporting period, the Fund's duration was generally 90-100% of the Blended Index. With interest rates falling overall during the reporting period, the Fund's shorter duration relative to the Blended Index contributed negatively to the Fund's performance. At various points during the reporting period, the Fund used futures contracts as a hedge to shorten duration. The use of such instruments contributed to the underperformance of the Fund versus the Blended Index.

CREDIT QUALITY⁸

During the 12-month reporting period, lower-quality, tax-exempt bonds in the Blended Index outperformed higher-quality bonds. Noninvestment-grade (those rated less than “Baa3” or “BBB-”) and non-rated bonds produced the highest returns, followed by “BBB”-rated bonds, with high-grade bonds (those rated higher than “Baa1” or “BBB+”) lagging all other ratings. The Fund's underweight position in underperforming “AAA”- and “AA”-rated bonds provided positive relative return. On the other hand, overweights in “A”- and “BBB”-rated bonds (which underperformed the Blended Index as a whole) and underweights in noninvestment-grade bonds (which outperformed) were a drag on performance. The Fund's position in non-rated bonds was neutral. Overall, the Fund's credit quality allocation provided a negative contribution to return relative to the Blended Index.

1	Please see the footnotes to the line graphs under “Fund Performance and Growth of a $10,000 Investment” below for information regarding the effect of the reorganization of Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc., a predecessor fund, into the Fund as of the close of business on November 10, 2006.
2	Income may be subject to state taxes, local taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals or corporations.
3	The Fund's broad-based securities market index is the S&P Municipal Bond Index (“Main Index”), which had a total return of 9.34% during the reporting period. The Blended Index is being used for comparison purposes because, although it is not the Fund's broad-based securities market index, the Fund Adviser believes it more closely reflects the market sectors in which the Fund invests. Please see the footnotes to the line graphs under “Fund Performance and Growth of a $10,000 Investment” below for the definition of, and more information about, the Main Index and the Blended Index.
4	Please see the footnotes to the line graphs under “Fund Performance and Growth of a $10,000 Investment” below for the definition of, and more information about, the MHYMFA.
5	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
6	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
7	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
8	Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either be: (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality, and the lowest category of investment-grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

1	Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: For Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550; for Class F Shares, the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900), and the contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00% on any redemption less than four years from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Main Index, Blended Index and MHYMFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and the average.
2	Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund, Inc. (“Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund (“Fund”), a series of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of the close of business on November 10, 2006. Prior to the reorganization, the Fund had no investment operations. The Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund. The information presented for periods prior to the close of business on November 10, 2006, refers to the performance of the Predecessor Fund, which after the reorganization is the Fund's performance as a result of the reorganization.
3	The Main Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index composed of approximately 55,000 bond issues that are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to AMT. Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Main Index include, but are not limited to: the bond issuer must be a state (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) or a local government or a state or local government entity where interest on the bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT; the bond must be held by a mutual fund for which Standard & Poor's Securities Evaluations, Inc. provides prices; it must be denominated in U.S. dollars and have a minimum par amount of $2 million; and the bond must have a minimum term to maturity and/or call date greater than or equal to one calendar month. The Main Index is rebalanced monthly. The Main Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The Main Index is unmanaged, and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
4	The Blended Index is a custom blended index that represents, by market weighting, 25% of the A-rated and higher component of the Main Index, 25% of the BBB-rated component of the Main Index and 50% of the below investment grade (bonds with ratings of less than BBB-/Baa3) component of the Main Index, all with remaining maturities of three years or more. The Blended Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The Blended Index is unmanaged, and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
5	Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges.
6	The Fund's Institutional Shares commenced operations on June 11, 2013. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of Institutional Shares, the performance information shown is for the Fund's Class F Shares, adjusted to reflect the expenses of the Fund's IS Class for each year for which the Fund's IS Class expenses would have exceeded the actual expenses paid by the Fund's Class F Shares.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust (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 five portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund (the “Fund”), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers five classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class F Shares and Institutional Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide a high level of current income which is generally exempt from federal regular income tax. Interest income from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations and state and local taxes.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium) unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■	Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the

Annual Shareholder Report

40

NAV is calculated, or if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class F Shares may bear distribution services fees and other service fees unique to those classes.

Annual Shareholder Report

41

Other Service Fees

The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class F Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended August 31, 2014, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred
Class A Shares	$547,936
Class B Shares	34,698
Class C Shares	129,845
Class F Shares	449,116
TOTAL	$1,161,595

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

The Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. 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; or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a

Annual Shareholder Report

42

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 Fund 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. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities, like other securities, are priced in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Additional information on restricted securities, excluding securities purchased under Rule 144A that have been deemed liquid by the Trustees if applicable, held at August 31, 2014, is as follows:

Security	Acquisition Date	Cost	Market Value
Non-Profit Preferred Funding Trust I, Partnership, 9/15/2037	10/26/2006-2/16/2007	$3,989,000	$452,600

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage duration risk. Upon entering into a financial 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 which is shown as Restricted cash in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, 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. There is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

The average notional value of futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period was $14,403,125, This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the fiscal period.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, open defaulted bonds, partnership adjustments and expiration of capital loss carryforwards.

For the year ended August 31, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid in Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$(1,161,133)	$(138,098)	$1,299,231

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014	2013
Tax-exempt income	$22,375,104	$23,795,280
Ordinary income	$37,830	$75,089

As of August 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$ 774,762
Undistributed ordinary income	$ 2,625
Net unrealized appreciation	$ 15,276,610
Capital loss carryforwards	$(72,660,857)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for the deferral of losses on wash sales, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, open defaulted bonds and partnership adjustments.

Annual Shareholder Report

45

At August 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $511,185,355. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $15,530,149. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $33,140,518 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $17,610,369.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $72,660,857 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

Expiration Year	Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
No expiration	$ 5,676,021	$24,357,069	$ 30,033,090
2017	$ 20,198,309	NA	$ 20,198,309
2018	$ 19,483,511	NA	$ 19,483,511
2019	$ 2,945,947	NA	$ 2,945,947

Capital loss carryforwards of $1,161,133 expired during the year ended August 31, 2014.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser voluntarily waived $790,309 of its fee.

Annual Shareholder Report

46

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average daily net assets of the Investment Complex as specified below, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses:

Administrative Fee	Average Daily Net Assets of the Investment Complex
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.078% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Class F Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.05%
Class B Shares	0.75%
Class C Shares	0.75%
Class F Shares	0.05%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Services Fee Incurred
Class B Shares	$104,093
Class C Shares	389,535
TOTAL	$493,628

Annual Shareholder Report

47

For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $104,297 of fees paid by the Fund. When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A Shares and Class F Shares did not incur a distribution services fee; however, it may begin to incur this fee upon approval by the Trustees.

Other Service Fees

For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSSC received $38,453 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $42,657 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares and $640 from sale of Class F Shares. FSC also retained $15,207, $26,163, $2,423 and $39,714 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class F Shares, respectively.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $131,565,000 and $134,350,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, Class F Shares and Institutional Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.89%, 1.64%, 1.64%, 0.89% and 0.64% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2015; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.

General

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors'/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund. Such expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, respectively.

6. Investment TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2014, were as follows:

Purchases	$ 96,891,942
Sales	$ 90,042,902

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Although the Fund has a diversified portfolio, the Fund has 44.8% of its portfolio invested in lower rated and comparable quality unrated high-yield securities. Investments in higher yield securities may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk and the risk tends to be more sensitive to economic conditions than higher rated securities. The risk of loss due to default by the issuer may be significantly higher for the holders of high yielding securities because such securities are generally unsecured and often subordinated to other creditors of the issuer.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate offered to the Fund by PNC Bank at the time of the borrowing. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the program was not utilized.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, 99.83% of distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax other than the federal AMT.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF federated municipal securities income trust and shareholders of federated municipal High yield advantage FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund (the “Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of August 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund as of August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or other service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 3/1/2014	Ending Account Value 8/31/2014	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,065.70	$4.63
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,061.70	$8.52
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,062.90	$8.53
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,065.70	$4.63
Institutional Shares	$1,000	$1,065.90	$3.33
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,020.72	$4.53
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,016.94	$8.34
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,016.94	$8.34
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,020.72	$4.53
Institutional Shares	$1,000	$1,021.98	$3.26

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	0.89%
Class B Shares	1.64%
Class C Shares	1.64%
Class F Shares	0.89%
Institutional Shares	0.64%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2014

Federated Municipal High Yield Advantage Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2014 meetings the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the Board also considered management fees charged to

Annual Shareholder Report

58

institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in

Annual Shareholder Report

59

the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes.

The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate where partially waived and other expenses of the Fund and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was above the median of the relevant peer group, but the Board noted the applicable waivers and reimbursements and that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive. The Board will continue to monitor advisory fees and other expenses borne by the Fund in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.

By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.

For the periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year and three-year periods was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the five-year period. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. In addition, following discussions regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds.At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in

Annual Shareholder Report

61

allocating costs continues to cause the Senior Officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated family of funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size.

The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

Annual Shareholder Report

62

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, was 7.60% for its Class A Shares. The 7.60% total return for the reporting period consisted of 3.10% of tax-exempt dividends and price appreciation of 4.50% in the net asset value of the shares.¹ The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index (the “Intermediate Index”),² the Fund's broad based securities market index, was 8.58% during the same period. The total return of the Morningstar Muni Single State Intermediate Funds Average (MMSSIFA),³ a peer group average for the Fund, was 7.66% during the same period. The Fund's and the MMSSIFA's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the Intermediate Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) the effective duration of the portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates);^4,5 (b) the selection of securities with different maturities (expressed by a yield curve showing the relative yield of similar securities with different maturities); (c) the allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); (d) the credit quality of portfolio securities (which indicates the risk that the securities may default);⁶ and (e) security selection. These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the Intermediate Index during the reporting period.

Market OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.34% in August of 2013 to 3.03% in December of 2013 and then steadily declined to 2.42% at the end of the period. After an unusually weak GDP report in the first quarter of 2014 growth in economic activity rebounded and ongoing improvement in labor market conditions, with the unemployment rate declining, further supported expectations for continued moderate economic expansion. However, a range of labor market indicators suggested that there remained significant underutilization of labor resources. Financial conditions eased somewhat, although geopolitical risks such as the spillover from developments in the Middle East and Ukraine weighed on investor sentiment. Inflation had firmed in recent months and, as of the end of the reporting period, was expected to continue to move up toward the 2% objective of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) as resource slack diminishes and inflation expectations remain relatively stable. The Fed made a measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in the light of continued progress in labor market conditions. Financial market conditions were influenced over the reporting period by the Fed communications, which indicated somewhat better than expected

economic releases and developments in emerging market economies. Additionally, financial conditions in the U.S. remained supportive of growth. During the 12-month reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors, as concerns persisted about the prospects for a durable solution to the European fiscal and financial difficulties, which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. With regard to Europe, there continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks.

The amount of municipal bonds being issued during the reporting period was muted, which created a favorable technical environment (supply/demand imbalance) within the tax-exempt municipal bond market. A significant driver of the muted issuance was that the amount of municipal bonds being refunded collapsed as interest rates rose over the reporting period. This reduced the amount of municipal bonds being issued and helped to provide support for municipal bond prices and as a result, absolute performance. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market generally remained stable, although a few issuers continued to experience substantial strain and for the first time in several years the rating agencies made more upgrades than downgrades to municipal debt. However, Detroit's high profile bankruptcy and the increased erosion in the Puerto Rican economy and its related entities were still areas of idiosyncratic risk for the market. Also, Illinois continued to be unable to come to political terms over a solution for Illinois' underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued to exist. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny. However, many state and local municipal entities took actions to control pension costs, and this issue continued to be watched.

During the 12-month reporting period, Detroit's bankruptcy continued to dominate the Michigan municipal market. The city has worked toward a rapid resolution, presenting its initial plan of adjustment in February and negotiating furiously with creditors prior to its September hearing in bankruptcy court. The city has been able to reach agreements with almost all of its creditor classes, raising optimism that it will be able to emerge from bankruptcy soon. The Fund held several issues secured by water and sewer revenues; debt service on these holdings remained current throughout the bankruptcy and were sold back to the city above par at the end of August as part of a tender offer. The Fund did not own any general obligations of the city.

The state's financial condition remains strong, although recent positive trends are slowing down. As it has the last several years, the state approved its 2014-15 budget several months early. However, in June, 2014 Standard and Poor's revised the outlook on its AA rating from positive to stable, citing declining general fund revenues, slowing growth, and expected declines in the budget stabilization reserve fund. Moody's “AA” rating and positive outlook, and Fitch's “AA” rating and stable outlook were unchanged during the period.

Spreads on Michigan State general obligation bonds tightened by 8 to 18 basis points compared to the Thomson Municipal Market Data AAA Curve benchmark.

The Bond Buyer reported that issuance of Michigan municipal bonds for the twelve months ending August 31, 2014, was 42% higher than during the previous twelve months. This contrasted sharply with the national trend which saw a 13% decline in new issuance. Many local governments which had put borrowing on hold as a result of Detroit's financial difficulties found a more receptive market as the bankruptcy began to resolve itself.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 4.33 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. Throughout the 12-month reporting period the Fund's duration was consistently shorter than the duration of the Intermediate Index. Given that interest rates fell over the course of the period, the Fund's duration had a negative effect on the Fund's performance relative to the Intermediate Index.

SECTOR

During the 12-month reporting period, sector selection provided a positive contribution to total return relative to the Intermediate Index. The Fund was aided by overweight positions in a number of outperforming sectors: General Obligations, Hospitals, Higher Education, Transportation and Water & Sewer Bonds. Additionally, the Fund's underweight positions in underperforming sectors such as: Housing and Pre-Refunded Bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account) also added to performance, relative to the Intermediate Index.

CREDIT QUALITY⁷

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund, according to its strategy, maintained a high-quality portfolio, with over 90% of the portfolio rated in one of the three highest rating categories (“AAA,” “AA” and “A”). The Fund's overweight allocation to “AA”- and “A”-rated bonds (both of which

outperformed the Intermediate Index) and its underweight position in “AAA”-rated bonds (which underperformed) all had a positive impact on the Fund's relative return. Overall, the Fund's credit allocation relative to the Intermediate Index resulted in positive excess return.

YIELD CURVE and MATURITY

During the 12-month reporting period, the bonds with longer maturity generally outperformed shorter-maturity bonds as rates fell and the yield curve flattened. The Fund's underweight position in bonds with ten or more years to maturity, which saw higher returns than shorter bonds, resulted in yield curve positioning that detracted from the Fund's performance, relative to the Intermediate Index.

SECURITY SELECTION

During the 12-month reporting period, security-specific factors included credit rating changes, calls and other idiosyncratic occurrences for individual bonds. These individual items had a positive effect on the Fund's performance versus the Intermediate Index. Additionally, since the Intermediate Index consists of national bonds while the Fund only included securities issued in Michigan, the Fund's return was influenced by conditions which were specific to the state.

4	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
5	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
6	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect the Fund shares against market risk.
7	Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either be: (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard & Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality, and the lowest category of investment-grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

1	Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting the maximum sales charge of 3.00% ($10,000 investment minus $300 sales charge = $9,700). The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The Intermediate Index and the MMSSIFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
2	The Intermediate Index consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index (“Main Index”) with a minimum maturity of 3 years and a maximum maturity of up to, but not including, 15 years as measured from the Rebalancing Date of the Main Index. The Main Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index composed of approximately 55,000 bond issues that are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Main Index include, but are not limited to: the bond issuer must be a state (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) or a local government or a state or local government entity where interest on the bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT; the bond must be held by a mutual fund for which Standard & Poor's Securities Evaluations, Inc. provides prices; it must be denominated in U.S. dollars and have a minimum par amount of $2 million; and the bond must have a minimum term to maturity and/or call date greater than or equal to one calendar month. The Main Index is rebalanced monthly. The Intermediate Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The Intermediate Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust (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 five portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers one class of shares: Class A Shares. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of Michigan and Michigan municipalities. Interest income from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium) unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from

Annual Shareholder Report

more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value.

Other Service Fees

The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Other

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.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The following table summarizes share activity:

Year Ended August 31	2014	2013
Shares sold	2,321,428	2,120,302
Shares issued to shareholders in payment of distributions declared	189,307	218,492
Shares redeemed	(2,872,096)	(2,505,982)
NET CHANGE RESULTING FROM FUND SHARE TRANSACTIONS	(361,361)	(167,188)

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$(8,179)	$8,179

Annual Shareholder Report

21

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014	2013
Tax-exempt income	$3,415,561	$3,840,570
Long-term capital gain	$—	$399,669

As of August 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$3,575
Net unrealized appreciation	$7,204,357
Capital loss carryforward	$(251,932)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for wash sales and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At August 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $120,752,469. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $7,204,357. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $7,231,773 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $27,416.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had a net capital loss carryforward of $251,932 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term and does not expire. All of the Fund's capital loss carryforwards were incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010.

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards:

Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
$251,932	—	$251,932

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser waived $236,751 of its fee.

Annual Shareholder Report

22

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average daily net assets of the Investment Complex as specified below, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses:

Administrative Fee	Average Daily Net Assets of the Investment Complex
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.078% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Other Service Fees

For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSSC received $2,006 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $31,800,000 and $30,750,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.75% (the “Fee Limit”) up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2015; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.

Annual Shareholder Report

23

General

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors'/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund. Such expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, respectively.

6. Investment TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2014, were as follows:

Purchases	$24,706,443
Sales	$22,398,577

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2014, 52.9% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of investments insured by or supported by (backed) by a letter of credit from any one institution or agency, Assured Guaranty Municipal Corporation, was 25.9% of total investments.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate offered to the Fund by PNC Bank at the time of the borrowing. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the program was not utilized.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, 100% of distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax other than the federal AMT.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF federated municipal securities income trust and shareholders of federated Michigan intermediate municipal Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of August 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust as of August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Annual Shareholder Report

26

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 3/1/2014	Ending Account Value 8/31/2014	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,032.50	$3.84
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,021.42	$3.82

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio of 0.75%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2014

Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2014 meetings the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the Board also considered management fees charged to

institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in

the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes.

The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate where partially waived and other expenses of the Fund and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was below the median of the relevant peer group and that it was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

35

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.

For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. In addition, following discussions regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds.At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs continues to cause the Senior Officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated family of funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size.

The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of New York Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, was 9.46% for the Fund's Class A Shares and 8.65% for the Fund's Class B Shares. The 9.46% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 3.48% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price appreciation of 5.98% in the net asset value of the shares.¹ The total return for the S&P Municipal Bond New York Index (the “NY Index”),² the Fund's broad-based securities market index, was 10.08% during the same period. The total return of the Morningstar Muni New York Long Funds Average (MMNYLFA),³ a peer group for the Fund, was 11.15% during the same period. The Fund's and MMNYLFA's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the NY Index.

During the reporting period, the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the NY Index were: (a) the effective duration of its portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates);^4,5 (b) the allocation of the portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit rating of portfolio securities.⁶

The following discussion focuses on the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.34% in August of 2013 to 3.03% in December of 2013 and then steadily declined to 2.42% at the end of the period. After an unusually weak GDP report in the first quarter of 2014, growth in economic activity rebounded and ongoing improvement in labor market conditions, with the unemployment rate declining, further supported expectations for continued moderate economic expansion. However, a range of labor market indicators suggested that there remained significant underutilization of labor resources. Financial conditions eased somewhat, although geopolitical risks such as the spillover from developments in the Middle East and Ukraine weighed on investor sentiment. Inflation had firmed in recent months and, as of the end of the reporting period, was expected to continue to move up toward the 2% objective of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) as resource slack diminishes and inflation expectations remain relatively stable. The Fed made a measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in the light of continued progress in labor market conditions. Financial market conditions were influenced over the reporting period by Fed communications, which indicated somewhat better than expected economic releases and developments in emerging market economies. Additionally, financial conditions in the U.S. remained supportive of growth. During the 12-month

Annual Shareholder Report

1

reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors, as concerns persisted about the prospects for a durable solution to the European fiscal and financial difficulties, which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. With regard to Europe, there continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks.

The amount of municipal bonds being issued during the reporting period was muted, which created a favorable technical environment (supply/demand imbalance) within the tax-exempt municipal bond market. A significant driver of the muted issuance was that the amount of municipal bonds being refunded collapsed as interest rates rose over the reporting period. This reduced the amount of municipal bonds being issued and helped to provide support for municipal bond prices and as a result, absolute performance. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market generally remained stable, although a few issuers continued to experience substantial strain and for the first time in several years the rating agencies made more upgrades than downgrades to municipal debt. However, Detroit's high profile bankruptcy and the increased erosion in the Puerto Rican economy and its related entities were still areas of idiosyncratic risk for the market. Also, Illinois continued to be unable to come to political terms over a solution for Illinois' underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued to exist. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny. However, many state and local municipal entities took actions to control pension costs, and this issue continued to be watched.

New York maintained a mature and wealthy state economy that has historically attracted a highly educated and global work force. The state continued to have a long track record of closing budget gaps and maintaining structural balance. The state treasury accumulated a rainy day reserve fund over 10 years that provides cash flow flexibility. The state pension system was well-funded compared to other states, and the unfunded liability was modest. Fund management believed that recent pension reforms for new employees should help control pension liabilities going forward. Improvements in the state's political process were reflected by timely budgets, balanced budgets and strong spending controls. The state depended upon the financial services sector and income taxes for a large part of its revenue which has a history of volatility. The state had a high debt position which was the second highest of the states. However, the state economy recovered and surpassed its pre-recession employment peak.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's dollar- weighted average duration for the reporting period was 4.61 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment

strategy. The Fund's duration was maintained short of the NY Index during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields decreased significantly during the second half of the reporting period and decreased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly flattened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration outperformed bonds with a shorter duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's allocation to bonds with shorter durations and lesser allocation to bonds in the 6- to 8-year duration range than those included in the NY Index, the Fund had negative performance relative to the NY Index. The Fund utilized 10-year Treasury futures contracts to adjust duration which provided negative excess return over the reporting period.

SeCTOR

During the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's sector allocations negatively affected Fund performance. The Fund maintained an overweight allocation to pre-refunded, tax-exempt municipal bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account). The overweight exposure to Pre-Refunded Bonds negatively affected Fund performance due to lower price volatility exhibited by Pre-Refunded Bonds as compared to other sectors. The Fund's holdings of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority debt over the reporting period had a negative impact on performance as the island's debt declined in price as their economy and financial position deteriorated. The Fund's underweight relative to the NY Index in Local General Obligation Debt added excess return due to the under-performance of this sector. The Fund also generated positive excess return due to its overweight in outperforming sectors such as Industrial Development Debt, Pollution Control Bonds and Tobacco Settlement Debt, relative to the NY Index.

credit QUALITY⁷

As the 12-month reporting period proceeded, headline risk concerning municipal credit quality stabilized and municipal bond fund inflows increased significantly into the second half of 2014. This resulted in underperformance of bonds rated “AAA” and “AA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the lower rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) and bonds in the noninvestment-grade category, below “BBB.” With the stabilization and eventual decline in credit spreads during the reporting period, and the tightening of credit spreads to a lesser extent for “AAA” and “AA” rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt, the Fund's underweight position, relative to the NY Index, in “AAA” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. Also, the Fund's exposure to bonds rated “A” and “BBB” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the

higher rating categories added positive excess return as these securities experienced spread tightening versus higher quality debt over the reporting period.

4	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management's Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
5	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
6	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
7	Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either be: (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality, and the lowest category of investment-grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The NY Index, NYIG Index MMNYFCA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the indexes and average.
2	The NY Index consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond New York Index (“Main Index”) that have been issued by the state of New York or local governments or state or local government entities within New York. The Main Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index comprised of approximately 55,000 bond issues that are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Main Index include, but are not limited to: the bond issuer must be a state (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) or a local government or a state or agency where interest on the bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT; the bond must be held by a mutual fund for which Standard & Poor's Securities Evaluations, Inc. provides prices; it must be denominated in U.S. dollars and have a minimum par amount of $2 million; and the bond must have a minimum term to maturity and/or call date greater than or equal to one calendar month. The Main Index is rebalanced monthly. The NY Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The NY Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3	The NYIG Index represents the portion of the NY Index composed solely of bonds that are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher with remaining maturities of more than three years that are not subject to AMT. The NYIG Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The NYIG Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust (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 five portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class B Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)), and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of New York and New York municipalities. Interest income from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium) unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

Annual Shareholder Report

19

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, or if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and to oversee the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares and Class B Shares may bear distribution services fees and other service fees unique to those classes.

Other Service Fees

The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended August 31, 2014, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred	Other Service Fees Reimbursed
Class A Shares	$66,089	$(2,347)
Class B Shares	6,658	—
TOTAL	$72,747	$(2,347)

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cash flows and duration, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial 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 which is shown as Restricted Cash in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to

Annual Shareholder Report

21

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. There is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

The average notional value of futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period was $631,560. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the twelve-month fiscal period.

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.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

For the year ended August 31, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$(2,911)	$2,911

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014	2013
Tax-exempt income	$927,690	$1,074,053
Ordinary income	$—	$804

As of August 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$3,637
Net unrealized appreciation	$1,746,649
Capital loss carryforwards and deferrals	$(2,899,846)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for defaulted securities and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At August 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $29,148,358. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,746,649. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,796,734 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $50,085.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $2,742,643 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

Annual Shareholder Report

23

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

Expiration Year	Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
2016	$239,378	NA	$239,378
2017	$958,822	NA	$958,822
2018	$1,218,820	NA	$1,218,820
2019	$325,623	NA	$325,623

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $10,520 to offset capital gains realized during the year ended August 31, 2014.

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $157,203 were deferred to September 1, 2014.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Adviser, voluntarily waived its entire fee of $116,890 and voluntarily reimbursed $83,681 of other operating expenses.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average daily net assets of the Investment Complex as specified below, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses:

Administrative Fee	Average Daily Net Assets of the Investment Complex
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.078% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Annual Shareholder Report

24

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.05%
Class B Shares	0.75%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Services Fee Incurred
Class B Shares	$19,974

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $10,014 of fees paid by the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A Shares did not incur a distribution service fee; however it may begin to incur this fee upon approval of the Trustees.

Other Service Fees

FSSC received $4,998 and reimbursed $2,347 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $1,716 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $357 and $8,861 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $19,650,000 and $17,150,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.76% and 1.52% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the

25

later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2015; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.

General

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors'/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund. Such expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, respectively.

6. Investment TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2014, were as follows:

Purchases	$7,461,522
Sales	$9,319,330

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2014, 15.1% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate offered to the Fund by PNC Bank at the time of the borrowing. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the program was not utilized.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, 100% of distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax other than the federal AMT.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund as of August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or other service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Annual Shareholder Report

28

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (“loads”) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 3/1/2014	Ending Account Value 8/31/2014	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,037.00	$3.90
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,033.10	$7.79
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.37	$3.87
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,017.54	$7.73

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	0.76%
Class B Shares	1.52%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2014

Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2014 meetings the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the Board also considered management fees charged to

35

institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in

Annual Shareholder Report

36

the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes.

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's investment advisory fee was waived in its entirety. The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate and other expenses of the Fund with the Adviser and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was below the median of the relevant peer group and that it was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Annual Shareholder Report

37

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.

For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. In addition, following discussions regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds.At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs continues to cause the Senior Officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single

Annual Shareholder Report

38

change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated family of funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size.

The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

Annual Shareholder Report

39

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, was 9.00% for Class A Shares and 8.84% for Class F Shares. The 9.00% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 3.58% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price appreciation of 5.42% in the net asset value of the shares.¹ The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond Ohio Index (the “OH Index”),² the Fund's broad-based securities market index, was 12.46% during the same period. The total return of the Morningstar Muni Ohio Funds Category (MMOFA),³ a peer group average for the Fund, was 9.53% during the same period. The Fund's and the MMOFA's total return for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the OH Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) the effective duration of its portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates);^4,5 (b) the allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit ratings of portfolio securities (which indicates the risk that securities will default).⁶ These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the OH Index during the reporting period.

The following discussion focuses on the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.34% in August of 2013 to 3.03% in December of 2013 and then steadily declined to 2.42% at the end of the period. After an unusually weak GDP report in the first quarter of 2014 growth in economic activity rebounded and ongoing improvement in labor market conditions, with the unemployment rate declining, further supported expectations for continued moderate economic expansion. However, a range of labor market indicators suggested that there remained significant underutilization of labor resources. Financial conditions eased somewhat, although geopolitical risks such as the spillover from developments in the Middle East and Ukraine weighed on investor sentiment. Inflation had firmed in recent months and, as of the end of the reporting period, was expected to continue to move up toward the 2% objective of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) as resource slack diminishes and inflation expectations remain relatively stable. The Fed made a measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in the light of continued progress in labor market conditions. Financial market conditions were influenced over the reporting period by the Fed's communications, which indicated somewhat better than expected

economic releases and developments in emerging market economies. Additionally, financial conditions in the U.S. remained supportive of growth. During the 12-month reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors, as concerns persisted about the prospects for a durable solution to the European fiscal and financial difficulties, which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. With regard to Europe, there continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks.

The amount of municipal bonds being issued during the reporting period was muted, which created a favorable technical environment (supply/demand imbalance) within the tax-exempt municipal bond market. A significant driver of the muted issuance was that the amount of municipal bonds being refunded collapsed as interest rates rose over the reporting period. This reduced the amount of municipal bonds being issued and helped to provide support for municipal bond prices and as a result, absolute performance. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market generally remained stable, although a few issuers continued to experience substantial strain and for the first time in several years the rating agencies made more upgrades than downgrades to municipal debt. However, Detroit's high profile bankruptcy and the increased erosion in the Puerto Rican economy and its related entities were still areas of idiosyncratic risk for the market. Also, Illinois continued to be unable to come to political terms over a solution for Illinois' underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued to exist. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny. However, many state and local municipal entities took actions to control pension costs, and this issue continued to be watched.

Ohio has historically been a proactively managed state and rapidly rebuilt reserves after the recession and promptly addressed budget shortfalls. Ohio established the practice of maintaining high levels of liquidity outside of its general revenue fund to help bridge revenue gaps. The state also maintained moderate long term liabilities that were reasonable when compared with the state's budget. The state also maintained a budget stabilization fund which statutorily receives year-end surpluses. However, the economy was still dependent on manufacturing and the automobile industry in particular. Gas industry exploration had also given an economic boost to the state and had positioned itself to positively contribute to future economic growth. The state economy remained stable overall, despite slowing job growth. Ohio's pension liability and annual contributions remained affordable and reflected both improved investment returns and the impact of pension reform which was undertaken in 2012.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's dollar- weighted average duration for the reporting period was 4.31 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's duration was maintained short of the OH Index, during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields decreased significantly during the second half of the reporting period and decreased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly flattened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration outperformed bonds with a shorter duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's allocation to bonds with shorter durations than those included in the OH Index, the Fund had negative performance relative to the OH Index.

SeCTOR

During the 12-month reporting period the Fund's sector allocations negatively affected Fund performance. The Fund maintained an overweight allocation to pre-refunded, tax-exempt municipal bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account). The overweight exposure to pre-refunded bonds negatively affected Fund performance due to lower price volatility exhibited by pre-refunded bonds as compared to other sectors. The Fund's holdings of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority debt, Puerto Rico Government Development Bank and Puerto Rico General Obligation debt over the reporting period had a negative impact on performance as the island's debt declined in price as their economy and financial position deteriorated. The Fund's underweight relative to the OH Index in State and Local General Obligation Debt added excess return due to the under-performance of those sectors. The Fund also generated positive excess return due to its overweight in outperforming sectors such as Life Care, Airports and Water Utilities.

credit QUALITY⁷

As the 12-month reporting period proceeded, headline risk concerning municipal credit quality stabilized and municipal bond fund inflows increased significantly into the second half of 2014. This resulted in underperformance of bonds rated “AAA and AA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the lower rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) and bonds in the noninvestment-grade category, below “BBB”. With the stabilization and eventual decline in credit spreads during the reporting period, and the tightening of credit spreads to a lesser extent for “AAA” and “AA” rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt, the Fund's underweight position, relative to the OH Index, in “AAA and AA” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. Also, the Fund's exposure to noninvestment-grade debt (an out of

OH Index position) added positive excess return as these securities also experienced spread tightening versus higher quality debt over the reporting period.

4	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management's Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
5	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
6	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
7	Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either be: (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality, and the lowest category of investment-grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: for Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550); For Class F Shares, the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900); and the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00% on any redemption less than four years from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The OH Index, OHIG Index and MMOFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.

The OH Index consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index (Main Index) that have been issued by the state of Ohio or local governments or state or local government entities within Ohio. The Main Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index composed of approximately 55,000 bond issues that are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Main Index include, but are not limited to: the bond issuer must be a state (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) or local government or a state or local government entity where interest on the bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT; the bond must be held by a mutual fund for which Standard & Poor's Securities Evaluations, Inc. provides prices; it must be denominated in U.S. dollars and have a minimum par amount of $2 million; and the bond must have a minimum term to maturity and/or call date greater than or equal to one calendar month. The Main Index is rebalanced monthly. The Ohio Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The OH Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The OHIG Index represents the portion of the OH Index composed solely of bonds that are rated BBB-/Baa3 or higher with remaining maturities of more than three years while limiting tobacco bonds to 2%, by market weighting, of the sub-index. The OHIG Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The OHIG Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust (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 five portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of the Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class F Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)) and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of Ohio and Ohio municipalities. Interest income from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations.

On May 16, 2014, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Huntington Ohio Tax Free Fund (the “Acquired Fund”), an open-end investment company in a tax-free reorganization, pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the Acquired Fund's shareholders on May 16, 2014. In connection with the acquisition, the Acquired Fund's Institutional Class Shares and Class A Shares were exchanged for Class A Shares of the Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two portfolios with comparable investment objectives and strategies. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and Class A Shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however; the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

For every Institutional Class Share and Class A Share exchanged, a shareholder of Huntington Ohio Tax Free Fund received approximately 1.91 Class A Shares of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund.

The Fund received net assets from the Acquired Fund as the result of the tax-free reorganization as follows:

Class A Shares of the Fund Issued	Acquired Fund Net Assets Received	Unrealized Appreciation†	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately Prior to Combination	Net Assets of the Fund Immediately After Combination
2,170,409	$ 24,405,186	$ 765,871	$ 155,661,433	$ 180,066,619

† Unrealized Appreciation is included in the Acquired Fund Net Assets Received amount shown above.

Annual Shareholder Report

23

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on September 1, 2013, the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Fund, the Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2014, are as follows:

Net investment income*	$5,863,794
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments	$10,076,271
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations	$15,940,065

* Net investment income reflects $150,937 of pro forma eliminated expenses.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amount of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that has been included in the Fund's Statement of Operations as of August 31, 2014.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium), unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, or if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from

Annual Shareholder Report

24

more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and in overseeing the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares and Class F Shares may bear distribution services fees and other service fees unique to those classes.

Annual Shareholder Report

25

Other Service Fees

The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class F Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended August 31, 2014, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred	Other Service Fees Reimbursed
Class A Shares	$125,213	$(260)
Class F Shares	281,030	—
TOTAL	$406,243	$(260)

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Other

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.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, capital loss carryforwards acquired through acquisition and fair fund litigation payments.

For the year ended August 31, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$192,583	$(13,287)	$(179,296)

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.

Annual Shareholder Report

27

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014	2013
Ordinary income	$—	$11,100
Tax-exempt income	$5,265,901	$5,503,664

As of August 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$ 9,462
Undistributed ordinary income	$ 836
Net unrealized appreciation	$ 10,211,994
Capital loss carryforwards and deferral	$ (2,491,514)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At August 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $168,436,798. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $10,211,994. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $10,920,409 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $708,415.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $2,084,856 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

Expiration Year	Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
No expiration	$ 164,561	$—	$ 164,561
2015	$ 70,099	NA	$ 70,099
2016	$ 641,658	NA	$ 641,658
2017	$ 626,069	NA	$ 626,069
2018	$ 560,004	NA	$ 560,004
2019	$ 22,465	NA	$ 22,465

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $96,508 to offset taxable gains realized during the year ended August 31, 2014.

Annual Shareholder Report

28

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2014, for federal income tax purposes, post October losses of $406,658 were deferred to September 1, 2014.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

(FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class F Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.05%
Class F Shares	0.40%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Services Fees Incurred	Distribution Services Fees Waived

For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A shares did not incur a distribution services fee; however it may begin to incur this fee upon approval of the Trustees.

Other Service Fees

For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSSC received $2,084 and reimbursed $260 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $4,143 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $148 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and $48,152 of Class F Shares.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $35,450,000 and $42,550,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares and Class F Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.75% and 0.90% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2015; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus.

General

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors'/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund.

Purchases	$13,334,134
Sales	$28,089,519

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2014, 26.3% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate offered to the Fund by PNC Bank at the time of the borrowing. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the program was not utilized.

10. Federal tax information

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF federated municipal securities income trust and shareholders of federated ohio municipal income FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of August 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund as of August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or other service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Annual Shareholder Report

33

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 3/1/2014	Ending Account Value 8/31/2014	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,034.70	$3.85
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,034.00	$4.61
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.42	$3.82
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,020.67	$4.58

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	0.75%
Class F Shares	0.90%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2014

Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2014 meetings the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the Board also considered management fees charged to

40

institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in

the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes.

The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate where partially waived and other expenses of the Fund and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was below the median of the relevant peer group and that it was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

Annual Shareholder Report

42

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.

For the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance was above the median of the relevant peer group.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. In addition, following discussions regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds.At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs continues to cause the Senior Officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

Annual Shareholder Report

43

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated family of funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size.

The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), based on net asset value, for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2014, was 9.68% for Class A Shares and 8.93% for Class B Shares. The 9.68% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 3.88% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price appreciation of 5.80% in the net asset value of the shares.¹The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond Pennsylvania Index (“PA Index”),² the Fund's broad-based securities market index, was 11.04% during the same period. The total return of the Morningstar Muni Pennsylvania Funds Average (MMPFA),³ a peer group average for the Fund, was 10.26% during the same period. The Fund's and the MMPFA's total returns for the most recently completed fiscal year reflected actual cash flows, transaction costs and other expenses, which were not reflected in the total return of the PA Index.

During the reporting period, the Fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) the effective duration of its portfolio (which indicates the portfolio's sensitivity to changes in interest rates);^4,5 (b) the allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit ratings of portfolio securities (which indicates the risk that securities will default).⁶ These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the PA Index, during the reporting period.

The following discussion focuses on the performance of the Fund's Class A Shares.

Market OVERVIEW

During the 12-month reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 2.34% in August of 2013 to 3.03% in December of 2013 and then steadily declined to 2.42% at the end of the period. After an unusually weak GDP report in the first quarter of 2014, growth in economic activity rebounded and ongoing improvement in labor market conditions, with the unemployment rate declining, further supported expectations for continued moderate economic expansion. However, a range of labor market indicators suggested that there remained significant underutilization of labor resources. Financial conditions eased somewhat, although geopolitical risks such as the spillover from developments in the Middle East and Ukraine weighed on investor sentiment. Inflation had firmed in recent months and, as of the end of the reporting period, was expected to continue to move up toward the 2% objective of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) as resource slack diminishes and inflation expectations remain relatively stable. The Fed made a measured reduction in the pace of its asset purchases in the light of continued progress in labor market conditions. Financial market conditions were influenced over the reporting period by the Fed's communications, which indicated somewhat better than expected

economic releases and developments in emerging market economies. Additionally, financial conditions in the U.S. remained supportive of growth. During the 12-month reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors, as concerns persisted about the prospects for a durable solution to the European fiscal and financial difficulties, which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. With regard to Europe, there continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks.

The amount of municipal bonds being issued during the reporting period was muted, which created a favorable technical environment (supply/demand imbalance) within the tax-exempt municipal bond market. A significant driver of the muted issuance was that the amount of municipal bonds being refunded collapsed as interest rates rose over the reporting period. This reduced the amount of municipal bonds being issued and helped to provide support for municipal bond prices and as a result, absolute performance. Credit conditions in the municipal bond market generally remained stable, although a few issuers continued to experience substantial strain and for the first time in several years the rating agencies made more upgrades than downgrades to municipal debt. However, Detroit's high profile bankruptcy and the increased erosion in the Puerto Rican economy and its related entities were still areas of idiosyncratic risk for the market. Also, Illinois continued to be unable to come to political terms over a solution for Illinois' underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued to exist. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny. However, many state and local municipal entities took actions to control pension costs, and this issue continued to be watched.

Pennsylvania maintained a broad and diverse economy with wealth levels above the national average. The Commonwealth has been buttressed by its large Health Care and Higher Education sectors. The Commonwealth does maintain moderate debt levels with a conservative and rapidly amortizing structure. The Commonwealth, however, has a high structural imbalance that has persisted because of the state's slow emergence from the recession and unusually weak tax revenues. Pennsylvania also faces a steep unfunded pension liability and has not been able to enact meaningful pension reforms. These rapidly growing pension contributions were a concern during the reporting period as they affect Pennsylvania's financial flexibility over the next several years. Below-average population growth and above-average age continued to be a challenge to long-term growth prospects for the Commonwealth. Gas industry exploration has been an economic boost to the state and has positioned itself to positively contribute to future economic growth.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the 12-month reporting period, the Fund's dollar- weighted average duration for the reporting period was 3.88 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's duration was maintained short of the PA Index during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields decreased significantly during the second half of the reporting period and decreased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly flattened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration outperformed bonds with a shorter duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's allocation to bonds with shorter durations than those included in the PA Index, the Fund had negative performance relative to the PA Index.

SeCTOR

During the 12-month reporting period the Fund's sector allocations negatively affected Fund performance. The Fund maintained an overweight allocation to pre-refunded, tax-exempt municipal bonds (bonds for which the principal and interest payments are secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account). The overweight exposure to pre-refunded bonds negatively affected Fund performance due to lower price volatility exhibited by pre-refunded bonds as compared to other sectors. The Fund's holdings of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority debt over the reporting period had a negative impact on performance as the island's debt declined in price as their economy and financial position deteriorated. The Fund's underweight relative to the PA Index in state and local general obligation debt added excess return due to the under-performance of those sectors. The Fund also generated positive excess return due to its overweight in outperforming sectors such as Hospitals, Higher Education and Water Utilities.

credit QUALITY⁷

As the 12-month reporting period proceeded, headline risk concerning municipal credit quality stabilized and municipal bond fund inflows increased significantly into the second half of 2014. This resulted in underperformance of bonds rated “AAA” and “AA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the lower rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) and bonds in the noninvestment-grade category, below “BBB.” With the stabilization and eventual decline in credit spreads during the reporting period, and the tightening of credit spreads to a lesser extent for “AAA” and “AA” rated (or unrated comparable quality) debt, the Fund's underweight position, relative to the PA Index, in “AAA” and “AA” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. Also, the Fund's exposure to noninvestment-grade debt (an out of PA Index position) added positive excess return as these securities also experienced spread tightening versus higher quality debt over the reporting period.

4	Duration is a measure of a security's price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities with shorter durations. For purposes of this Management's Discussion of Fund Performance, duration is determined using a third-party analytical system.
5	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
6	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
7	Investment-grade securities and noninvestment-grade securities may either: be (a) rated by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or rating agency; or (b) unrated securities that the Fund's investment adviser (“Adviser”) believes are of comparable quality. The rating agencies that provided the ratings for rated securities include Standard and Poor's, Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Fitch Rating Service. When ratings vary, the highest rating is used. Credit ratings of “AA” or better are considered to be high credit quality; credit ratings of “A” are considered high or medium/good quality; and credit ratings of “BBB” are considered to be medium/good credit quality, and the lowest category of investment grade securities; credit ratings of “BB” and below are lower-rated, noninvestment-grade securities or junk bonds; and credit ratings of “CCC” or below are noninvestment-grade securities that have high default risk. Any credit quality breakdown does not give effect to the impact of any credit derivative investments made by the Fund. Credit ratings are an indication of the risk that a security will default. They do not protect a security from credit risk. Lower-rated bonds typically offer higher yields to help compensate investors for the increased risk associated with them. Among these risks are lower creditworthiness, greater price volatility, more risk to principal and income than with higher-rated securities and increased possibilities of default.

Performance data quoted represents past performance which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For current to the most recent month-end performance and after-tax returns, visit FederatedInvestors.com or call 1-800-341-7400. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Mutual funds are not obligations of or guaranteed by any bank and are not federally insured.

1	Represents a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in the Fund after deducting applicable sales charges: For Class A Shares, the maximum sales charge of 4.50% ($10,000 investment minus $450 sales charge = $9,550); For Class B Shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.50% on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The PA Index, PAIG Index and MMPFA have been adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends on securities in the index and average.
2	The PA Index consists of bonds in the S&P Municipal Bond Index (“Main Index”) that have been issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or local governments or state or local government entities within Pennsylvania. The Main Index is a broad, comprehensive, market value-weighted index composed of approximately 55,000 bond issues that are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). Eligibility criteria for inclusion in the Main Index include, but are not limited to: the bond issuer must be a state (including the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and U.S. territories) or local government or state or local government entity where interest on the bond is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the AMT; the bond must be held by a mutual fund for which Standard & Poor's Securities Evaluations, Inc. provides prices; it must be denominated in U.S. dollars and have a minimum par amount of $2 million; and the bond must have a minimum term to maturity and/or call date greater than or equal to one calendar month. The Main Index is rebalanced monthly. The PA Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The PA Index is unmanaged, and unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
3	The PAIG Index represents the portion of the PA Index composed solely of bonds that are rated at least BBB with remaining maturities of more than three years that are not subject to AMT. The PAIG Index is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses and other fees that the SEC requires to be reflected in the Fund's performance. The PAIG Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
4	Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the mutual funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust (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 five portfolios. The financial statements included herein are only those of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a non-diversified portfolio. The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder's interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses. The Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A Shares and Class B Shares. All shares of the Fund have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal regular income tax (federal regular income tax does not include the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT)) and the personal income taxes imposed by the state of Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania municipalities. Interest income from the Fund's investments may be subject to the federal AMT for individuals and corporations.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

Investment Valuation

In calculating its net asset value (NAV), the Fund generally values investments as follows:

■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities greater than 60 days are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Fixed-income securities acquired with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost (adjusted for the accretion of any discount or amortization of any premium) unless the issuer's creditworthiness is impaired or other factors indicate that amortized cost is not an accurate estimate of the investment's fair value, in which case it would be valued in the same manner as a longer-term security.
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price.
■	Over-the-counter (OTC) derivative contracts are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Trustees.
■	Shares of other mutual funds or non-exchange-traded investment companies are valued based upon their reported NAVs.
■	For securities that are fair valued in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees, certain factors may be considered such as: the purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer, analysis of the issuer's financial statements or other available documents, fundamental analytical data, the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition, the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded and public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable issuers.

Annual Shareholder Report

21

If the Fund cannot obtain a price or price evaluation from a pricing service for an investment, the Fund may attempt to value the investment based upon the mean of bid and asked quotations or fair value the investment based on price evaluations, from one or more dealers. If any price, quotation, price evaluation or other pricing source is not readily available when the NAV is calculated, or if the Fund cannot obtain price evaluations from a pricing service or from more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, the Fund uses the fair value of the investment determined in accordance with the procedures described below. There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell an investment at the price used to calculate the Fund's NAV.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have appointed a Valuation Committee comprised of officers of the Fund, Federated Investment Management Company (“Adviser”) and certain of the Adviser's affiliated companies to determine fair value of securities and to oversee the calculation of the NAV. The Trustees have also authorized the use of pricing services recommended by the Valuation Committee to provide fair value evaluations of the current value of certain investments for purposes of calculating the NAV. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for reviewing third-party pricing-service evaluations including periodic reviews of third-party pricing services' policies, procedures and valuation methods (including key inputs and assumptions), transactional back-testing, comparisons of evaluations of different pricing services and review of price challenges by the Adviser based on recent market activity. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the Valuation Committee determines the fair value of the investment in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees. The Trustees periodically review and approve the fair valuations made by the Valuation Committee and any changes made to the procedures.

Factors considered by pricing services in evaluating an investment include the yields or prices of investments of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, call rights and other potential prepayments, terms and type, reported transactions, indications as to values from dealers and general market conditions. Some pricing services provide a single price evaluation reflecting the bid-side of the market for an investment (a “bid” evaluation). Other pricing services offer both bid evaluations and price evaluations indicative of a price between the prices bid and asked for the investment (a “mid” evaluation). The Fund normally uses bid evaluations for U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for other types of fixed-income securities and OTC derivative contracts. In the event that market quotations and price evaluations are not available for an investment, the fair value of the investment is determined in accordance with procedures adopted by the Trustees.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions

Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified-cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative average daily net assets, except that Class A Shares and Class B Shares may bear distribution services fees and other services fees unique to those classes.

Annual Shareholder Report

22

Other Service Fees

The Fund may pay other service fees up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares to unaffiliated financial intermediaries or to Federated Shareholder Services Company (FSSC) for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSSC may voluntarily reimburse the Fund for other service fees. In addition, unaffiliated third-party financial intermediaries may waive other service fees. This waiver can be modified or terminated at any time. For the year ended August 31, 2014, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred	Other Service Fees Reimbursed
Class A Shares	$554,167	$(42,910)
Class B Shares	7,918	—
TOTAL	$ 562,085	$(42,910)

Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses.

Premium and Discount Amortization

All premiums and discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized/accreted using the effective-interest-rate method.

Federal Taxes

It is the Fund's policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its income. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax is necessary. As of and during the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not have a liability for any uncertain tax positions. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2014, tax years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Fund's major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions

The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Restricted Securities

The Fund may purchase securities which are considered restricted. 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; 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,

Annual Shareholder Report

23

either upon demand by the Fund 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. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund's restricted securities, like other securities, are priced in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to manage cash flows and duration, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a financial 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 which is shown as Restricted Cash in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, 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. There is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

Other

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.

4. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and reclassification of litigation payments from paid-in capital to short-term capital gains.

For the year ended August 31, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-In Capital	Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
$(2,012)	$(6,411)	$8,423

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses) and net assets were not affected by the reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2014 and 2013, was as follows:

	2014	2013
Tax-exempt income	$8,095,581	$9,394,311

As of August 31, 2014, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$ 15,504
Net unrealized appreciation	$ 11,603,484
Capital loss carryforwards	$(20,552,673)

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable to differing treatments for discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

At August 31, 2014, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $209,985,256. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $11,603,484. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $11,838,693 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $235,209.

Annual Shareholder Report

25

At August 31, 2014, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $20,552,673 which will reduce the Fund's taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code, thereby reducing the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning on or before December 22, 2010, is characterized as short-term and may be carried forward for a maximum of eight tax years (“Carryforward Limit”), whereas a net capital loss incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, retains its character as either short-term or long-term, does not expire and is required to be utilized prior to the losses which have a Carryforward Limit.

The following schedule summarizes the Fund's capital loss carryforwards and expiration years:

Expiration Year	Short-Term	Long-Term	Total
No expiration	$678,541	$2,074,981	$2,753,522
2016	$213,566	NA	$213,566
2017	$7,730,607	NA	$7,730,607

2019	$3,561	NA	$3,561

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Adviser Fee

The advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser provides for an annual fee equal to 0.40% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, the Adviser may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014 the Adviser voluntarily waived $240,531 of its fee.

Administrative Fee

Federated Administrative Services (FAS), under the Administrative Services Agreement, provides the Fund with administrative personnel and services. For purposes of determining the appropriate rate breakpoint, “Investment Complex” is defined as all of the Federated Funds subject to a fee under the Administrative Services Agreement. The fee paid to FAS is based on the average daily net assets of the Investment Complex as specified below, plus certain out-of-pocket expenses:

Administrative Fee	Average Daily Net Assets of the Investment Complex
0.150%	on the first $5 billion
0.125%	on the next $5 billion
0.100%	on the next $10 billion
0.075%	on assets in excess of $20 billion

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FAS may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.078% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Annual Shareholder Report

26

Distribution Services Fee

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate Federated Securities Corp. (FSC), the principal distributor, from the daily net assets of the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares to finance activities intended to result in the sale of these shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses at the following percentages of average daily net assets annually, to compensate FSC:

Share Class Name	Percentage of Average Daily Net Assets of Class
Class A Shares	0.05%
Class B Shares	0.75%

Subject to the terms described in the Expense Limitation note, FSC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. For the year ended August 31, 2014, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Service Fees Incurred
Class B Shares	$23,753

When FSC receives fees, it may pay some or all of them to financial intermediaries whose customers purchase shares. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $11,841 of fees paid by the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund's Class A Shares did not incur a distribution services fee; however it may begin to incur the fee upon approval of the Trustees.

Other Service Fees

FSSC received $39,897 and reimbursed $42,910 of other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

Sales Charges

Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSC) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. For the year ended August 31, 2014, FSC retained $14,705 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $3,066 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares and $2,849 of Class B Shares.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund engaged in purchase and sale transactions with funds that have a common investment adviser (or affiliated investment advisers), common Directors/Trustees, and/or common Officers. These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Act and amounted to $45,900,000 and $43,450,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FSC, FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding extraordinary expenses and proxy-related expenses paid by the Fund, if any) paid by the Fund's Class A Shares and Class B Shares (after the voluntary waivers and reimbursements) will not exceed 0.75% and 1.52% (the “Fee Limit”), respectively, up to but not including the

Annual Shareholder Report

27

later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2015; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus. While the Adviser and its applicable affiliates currently do not anticipate terminating or increasing these arrangements prior to the Termination Date, these arrangements may only be terminated or the Fee Limit increased prior to the Termination Date with the agreement of the Trustees.

General

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Fund are Officers and Directors or Trustees of certain of the above companies. To efficiently facilitate payment, Directors/Trustees' fees and certain expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous expenses are paid by an affiliate of the Adviser which in due course are reimbursed by the Fund. Such expenses may be included in Accrued and Miscellaneous Expenses on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations, respectively.

6. Investment TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding long-term U.S. government securities and short-term obligations, for the year ended August 31, 2014 were as follows:

Purchases	$10,332,159
Sales	$35,329,252

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers located in one state, it will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at August 31, 2014, 32.3% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments is backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates in a $100,000,000 unsecured, uncommitted revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement with PNC Bank. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate offered to the Fund by PNC Bank at the time of the borrowing. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other funds advised by subsidiaries of Federated Investors, Inc., may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the Fund to borrow from other participating affiliated funds. As of August 31, 2014, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the program was not utilized.

10. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2014, 100% of distributions from net investment income is exempt from federal income tax, other than the federal AMT.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF federated municipal securities income trust and shareholders of federated Pennsylvania municipal income FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of August 31, 2014, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund as of August 31, 2014, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Shareholder Expense Example (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees and/or other service fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Annual Shareholder Report

30

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) on purchase or redemption payments. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 3/1/2014	Ending Account Value 8/31/2014	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,036.60	$3.85
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,033.50	$7.79
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.42	$3.82
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,017.54	$7.73

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half-year period). The annualized net expense ratios are as follows:

Class A Shares	0.75%
Class B Shares	1.52%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2014

Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board reviewed and approved at its May 2014 meetings the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

In this connection, the Federated Funds' Board had previously appointed a Senior Officer, whose duties include specified responsibilities relating to the process by which advisory fees are to be charged to a Federated fund. The Senior Officer has the authority to retain consultants, experts, or staff as may be reasonably necessary to assist in the performance of his duties, reports directly to the Board, and may be terminated only with the approval of a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Senior Officer prepared and furnished to the Board an independent, written evaluation that covered topics discussed below (the “Evaluation”). The Board considered that Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the advisory contract.

The Board is also familiar with and considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees, which have indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an Adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: the nature and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to a fund and its shareholders, including the performance and expenses of the fund and of comparable funds; the Adviser's cost of providing the services, including the profitability to the Adviser of providing advisory services to a fund; the extent to which the Adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to the Adviser because of its relationship with a fund (including research services received from brokers that execute fund trades and any fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for services rendered to a fund); comparative fee structures, including a comparison of fees paid to the Adviser with those paid by similar funds; and the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Board members perform their duties and their expertise, including whether they are fully informed about all facts the Board deems relevant to its consideration of the Adviser's services and fees. The Board noted that SEC disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's advisory contract generally track the factors listed above. Consistent with these judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the Board also considered management fees charged to

institutional and other clients of the Adviser for what might be viewed as like services. The Board was aware of these factors and was guided by them in its review of the Fund's advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these circumstances in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated on matters relating to the Federated funds, and was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. Throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings, the Board requested and received substantial and detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization that was in addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional substantial information in connection with the May meeting at which the Board's formal review of the advisory contract occurred. At this May meeting, senior management of the Adviser also met with the independent trustees and their counsel to discuss the materials presented and any other matters thought relevant by the Adviser or the trustees. Between regularly scheduled meetings, the Board also received information on particular matters as the need arose. Thus, the Board's consideration of the advisory contract included review of the Senior Officer's Evaluation, accompanying data and additional information covering such matters as: the Adviser's investment philosophy, revenue, profitability, personnel and processes; investment and operating strategies; the Fund's short- and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in relationship to its particular investment program and certain competitor or “peer group” funds and/or other benchmarks, as appropriate), and comments on the reasons for performance; the Fund's investment objectives; the Fund's expenses (including the advisory fee itself and the overall expense structure of the Fund, both in absolute terms and relative to similar and/or competing funds, with due regard for contractual or voluntary expense limitations); the use and allocation of brokerage commissions derived from trading the Fund's portfolio securities (if any); and the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. The Board also considered the preferences and expectations of Fund shareholders; the entrepreneurial risk assumed by the Adviser in sponsoring the funds; the continuing state of competition in the mutual fund industry and market practices; the range of comparable fees for similar funds in the mutual fund industry; the Fund's relationship to the Federated family of funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and audit reports concerning the Federated funds and the Federated companies that service them (including communications from regulatory agencies), as well as Federated's responses to any issues raised therein; and relevant developments in

the mutual fund industry and how the Federated funds and/or Federated are responding to them. The Board's evaluation process is evolutionary. The criteria considered and the emphasis placed on relevant criteria change in recognition of changing circumstances in the mutual fund marketplace.

While mindful that courts have cautioned against giving such comparisons too much weight, the Board has found the use of comparisons of the Fund's fees and expenses to other mutual funds with comparable investment programs to be relevant. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates and total expense ratios relative to a fund's peers. The Board focused on comparisons with other similar mutual funds more heavily than non-mutual fund products or services because it is believed that they are more relevant. For example, other mutual funds are the products most like the Fund, they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles, and they are the type of investment vehicle in fact chosen and maintained by the Fund's investors. The range of their fees and expenses therefore appears to be a relevant indicator of what consumers have found to be reasonable in the precise marketplace in which the Fund competes.

The Board reviewed the contractual advisory fee rate, net advisory fee rate where partially waived and other expenses of the Fund and noted the position of the Fund's fee rates relative to its peers. In this regard, the Board noted that the contractual advisory fee rate was below the median of the relevant peer group and that it was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

By contrast, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated family of funds (e.g., institutional and separate accounts and sub-adviser services). He concluded that mutual funds and institutional accounts are inherently different products. Those differences include, but are not limited to, different types of targeted investors; being subject to different laws and regulations; different legal structures; different average account sizes and portfolio management techniques made necessary by different cash flows and different associated costs; and the time spent by portfolio managers and their teams, funds financial services, legal, compliance and risk management in reviewing securities pricing, addressing different administrative responsibilities, addressing different degrees of risk associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider these fee schedules to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

The Fund's ability to deliver competitive performance when compared to its peer group was also deemed to be relevant by the Board as a useful indicator of how the Adviser is executing the Fund's investment program, which in turn was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent, and quality of the Adviser's investment management services were such as to warrant continuation of the advisory contract.

The Senior Officer reviewed information compiled by Federated, using data supplied by independent fund ranking organizations, regarding the performance of, and fees charged by, other mutual funds, noting his view that comparisons to fund peer groups may be helpful, though not conclusive, in judging the reasonableness of proposed fees. The Board considered, in evaluating such comparisons, that in some cases individual funds may exhibit significant and unique differences in their objectives and management techniques when compared to other funds within an industry peer group.

For the periods covered by the Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year and three-year periods was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the five-year period. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being undertaken by the Adviser. The Board will continue to monitor these efforts and the performance of the Fund in the context of the other factors considered relevant by the Board.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the advisory contracts, but also fees received by Federated's subsidiaries for providing other services to the Federated funds under separate contracts (e.g., for serving as the Federated funds' administrator). The information also detailed any indirect benefit Federated may derive from its receipt of research services from brokers who execute Federated fund trades. In addition, the Board considered the fact that, in order for a fund to be competitive in the marketplace, Federated and its affiliates frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and have disclosed to fund investors and/or indicated to the Board their intention to do so in the future, where appropriate. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. In addition, following discussions regarding the Senior Officer's May 2013 recommendations, Federated made meaningful reductions to gross advisory fees for several funds.At the Board meeting in May 2014, the Senior Officer proposed, and the Board approved, reductions in the contractual advisory fees of certain other funds.

Federated furnished information, requested by the Senior Officer, that reported revenues on a fund-by-fund basis and made estimates of the allocation of expenses on a fund-by-fund basis, using allocation methodologies specified by the Senior Officer. The Senior Officer noted that, while these cost allocation reports apply consistent allocation processes, the inherent difficulties in allocating costs continues to cause the Senior Officer to question the precision of the process and to conclude that such reports may be unreliable, since a single change in an allocation estimate may dramatically alter the resulting estimate of cost and/or profitability of a fund and may produce unintended consequences. The allocation information, including the Senior Officer's view that fund-by-fund estimations may be unreliable, was considered in the analysis by the Board.

The Board and the Senior Officer also reviewed information compiled by Federated comparing profitability information for Federated to other publicly held fund management companies. In this regard, the Senior Officer concluded that Federated's profit margins did not appear to be excessive.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. The Board considered in this regard that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated family of funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit, and risk management functions; and systems technology; and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. Finally, the Board also noted the absence of any applicable regulatory or industry guidelines on this subject, which (as discussed in the Senior Officer's Evaluation) is compounded by the lack of any common industry practice or general pattern with respect to structuring fund advisory fees with “breakpoints” that serve to reduce the fee as the fund attains a certain size.

The Senior Officer noted that, subject to the comments and recommendations made within his Evaluation, his observations and the information accompanying the Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fees for each of the funds were reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to, the continuation of the Fund's advisory contract.

In its decision to continue an existing investment advisory contract, the Board was mindful of the potential disruptions of the Fund's operations and various risks, uncertainties and other effects that could occur as a result of a decision to terminate or not renew an advisory contract. In particular, the Board recognized that many shareholders have invested in the Fund on the strength of the Adviser's industry standing and reputation and with the expectation that the Adviser will have a continuing role in providing advisory services to the Fund. Thus, the Board's approval of the advisory contract reflected the fact that it is the shareholders who have effectively selected the Adviser by virtue of having invested in the Fund. The Board concluded that, in light of the factors discussed above, including the nature, quality and scope of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates, continuation of the advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the advisory contract on the totality of the circumstances and relevant factors and with a view to past and future long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified above were necessarily relevant to the Fund, nor did the Board consider any one of them to be determinative. With respect to the factors that were relevant, the Board's decision to approve the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangements.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

(1) The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

(2) Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

(3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

PROCEDURES

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
