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, 2017 (“reporting period”), was 0.67% for Class A Shares, -0.09% for Class B Shares, -0.20% for Class C Shares, 0.66% for Class F Shares and 0.92% for Institutional Shares. The 0.92% total return of the Institutional Shares consisted of 4.16% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and depreciation of -3.24% in the net asset value.¹ The Fund's broad-based securities market index, the S&P Municipal Bond Index (the “Main Index”), had a total return of 0.92% during the reporting period. The total return of the 25% S&P A and Higher/25% BBB/50% High Yield, All 3-Year Plus Sub-Index (the “Blended Index”)² was 1.63% during the reporting period. The total return of the Morningstar High Yield Muni Funds Average (MHYMFA),³ a peer group average for the Fund, was 0.86% 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 any index.

During the reporting period, the Fund's investment strategy focused on: (a) security selection; (b) 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; (c) active adjustment of the Fund's duration⁴ (which indicates the portfolio sensitivity to changes in interest rates);⁵ (d) allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (e) credit quality.⁶ 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 reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 1.54% in September of 2016 to a high of 2.63% in March of 2017 and averaged 2.22%. Economic activity in the U.S. expanded at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial setbacks during the reporting period.

Inflation showed signs of picking up in recent months; however, it continued to run below the two percent target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected declines in energy prices and impacts of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate three times by ¼ percent over the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the federal funds' target rate, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a two percent inflation target, are

essential. The labor market continued to strengthen as economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained solid and the unemployment rate stayed near its lows during the reporting period. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved. There remained considerable uncertainty about the prospects for changes in fiscal and other government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations and increased infrastructure spending were among the important policy issues the Trump administration mentioned as priorities.

During the reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) resulted in immediate asset price volatility and some financial markets, particularly certain foreign exchange markets, experienced brief periods of strained liquidity. Safe haven asset prices appreciated substantially, but broad-based market dislocations did not develop. Overall, the negative sentiment surrounding the Brexit outcome was subsequently alleviated by expectations of the central banks being more accommodative. Nevertheless, several long-term global risks related to Brexit remained such as the potential for conservative, populists political parties to gain influence in coming elections in Europe. France and Germany are of particular interest because of their leadership positions within the European Union. The populist loss in the French national elections created a relief rally for the markets concerning potential trade related impacts. There also continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. The European Central Bank announced that it would maintain its asset purchase program.

Downward pressure on domestic energy activity continued over most of the reporting period as oil prices dropped further. The imbalance of crude oil supply relative to demand remained, and it was not expected to resolve quickly. The collapse in the price of oil supported the fixed-income markets by further reducing price pressures and generating concerns that the drop in oil prices might reflect declining demand in a weakening global economy. The support for household spending from lower energy prices was offset by the restraint implied by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the possibility of adverse effects from slower economic growth in China.

State and local government payrolls increased somewhat near the end of the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”- and “BBB”-rated⁷ general obligation debt widened at different maturities along the yield curve during the period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continues to be a focal point for states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois. The municipal bond market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt was lower than in previous periods as issuers were hesitant to add additional leverage and the economic benefits of refunding existing debt became less advantageous. Flows from investors into intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

SECURITY SELECTION

Individual security selection was the factor that contributed most negatively to Fund performance relative to the Blended Index during the reporting period. A number of holdings were advance refunded (which results in future principal and interest payments being secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account); these positions had a positive impact on relative performance. However, several distressed credits and a mix of Tobacco holdings that were less aggressive than the Blended Index acted as a drag on Fund performance.

YIELD CURVE AND MATURITY

During the 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 relative underweight of long bonds trading at a discount–which better captured the benefit of falling rates–was the main factor behind this lag.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 5.3 years, up from 5.2 years at the 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 85-90% of the Blended Index. Overall, the Fund's duration made a negative contribution to Fund performance relative to the Blended Index.

SECTOR allocation

During the reporting period, the Fund's best-performing sectors were Local General Obligations, Life Care, and Tobacco Settlement bonds. Lagging sectors included State General Obligation, Appropriation and Other Utility bonds. As a whole, the Fund's sector allocations contributed positively to Fund performance relative to the Blended Index during the reporting period.

CREDIT QUALITY⁷

During the reporting period, the lowest-rated part of the Blended Index–bonds rated lower than “B” – saw strongly negative returns. This portion of the Blended Index is dominated by various Puerto Rico bonds and performed poorly as Puerto Rico's financial situation deteriorated. The Fund's underweight position in bonds with these ratings–particularly Puerto Rico bonds–was the main reason that credit quality allocation contributed positively to Fund performance versus the Blended Index.

1	Income may be subject to state taxes, local taxes and the federal alternative minimum tax for individuals or corporations.
2	The Blended Index is being used for comparison purposes because, although it is not the Fund's broad-based securities market index, the Fund's investment adviser (“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	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 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 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 B Shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 5.50% on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date; for Class C Shares, a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge would be applied on any redemption less than one year from the purchase date; for Class F Shares, the maximum sales charge of 1.00% ($10,000 investment minus $100 sales charge = $9,900) and a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% would be applied on any redemption less than three 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	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.
3	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.
4	Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category.
5	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 Institutional Shares for each year for which the Fund's Institutional Shares expenses would have exceeded the actual expenses paid by the Fund's Class F Shares.

4	Zero coupon bond.
5	Floating/variable note with current rate and current maturity or next reset date shown. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their description above.
6	The cost of investments for federal tax purposes amounts to $606,091,235.
7	Assets, other than investments in securities, less liabilities. See Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of August 31, 2017, all investments of the Fund utilized Level 2 inputs in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2017

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.

On March 30, 2017, the Fund's T Share class became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but is not yet offered for sale.

Investment Valuation

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

■	Fixed-income securities are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	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, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■	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 last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, 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, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.

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 more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a pricing service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not representative of the fair value of such security, 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 obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Annual Shareholder Report

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. 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 assist in determining fair value 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, methods, models 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 any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any 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, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. 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. The detail of the total fund expense waiver and reimbursement of $971,634 is disclosed in this Note 2 and Note 5.

For the year ended August 31, 2017, the Fund's former custodian reimbursed $41,076 of custody fees.

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.

46

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. For the year ended August 31, 2017, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred
Class A Shares	$572,790
Class B Shares	26,157
Class C Shares	176,868
Class F Shares	509,054
TOTAL	$1,284,869

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, 2017, 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, 2017, tax years 2014 through 2017 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, 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.

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, expiration of capital loss carryforwards, payment-in-kind bonds and partnership adjustments.

For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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)
$(20,198,309)	$52,931	$20,145,378

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, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

	2017	2016
Tax-exempt income	$24,478,740	$24,859,794
Ordinary income	$171,603	$3,905

Annual Shareholder Report

51

As of August 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$705,401
Net unrealized appreciation	$32,411,844
Capital loss carryforwards	$(62,817,960)

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, open defaulted bonds and partnership adjustments.

At August 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $606,091,235. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $32,494,463. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $41,821,473 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $9,327,010.

At August 31, 2017, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $62,817,960 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	$7,012,920	$33,375,582	$40,388,502
2018	$19,483,511	NA	$19,483,511
2019	$2,945,947	NA	$2,945,947

Capital loss carryforwards of $20,198,309 expired during the year ended August 31, 2017.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISER FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

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 B Shares	0.75%
Class C Shares	0.75%

Class C Shares	530,604
TOTAL	$609,077

Annual Shareholder Report

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, 2017, were as follows:

Purchases	$145,468,080
Sales	$154,607,506

7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

The Fund has 44.1% 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 with certain other Federated Funds, on a several basis, in an up to $500,000,000 unsecured, 364-day, committed, revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement. The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin. The LOC also requires the Fund to pay, quarterly in arrears and at maturity, its pro rata share of a commitment fee based on the amount of the lenders' commitment that has not been utilized. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

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 3/1/2017	Ending Account Value 8/31/2017	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,043.50	$4.64
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,039.60	$8.48
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,039.60	$8.48
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,044.70	$4.64
Institutional Shares	$1,000	$1,046.10	$3.35
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,020.67	$4.58
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,016.89	$8.39
Class C Shares	$1,000	$1,016.89	$8.39
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,020.67	$4.58
Institutional Shares	$1,000	$1,021.93	$3.31

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	0.90%
Class B Shares	1.65%
Class C Shares	1.65%
Class F Shares	0.90%
Institutional Shares	0.65%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2017

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 of Trustees (the “Board”) reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term at its May 2017 meetings. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

The 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 “Senior Officer's Evaluation”). The Board considered the Senior Officer's Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the investment advisory contract.

The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board has indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the Fund and of comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to an 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 an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Fund's 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 an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. Consistent with the judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the

Annual Shareholder Report

67

Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and its advisory affiliates 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 investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated Investors, Inc. and its affiliates (“Federated”) on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Board was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information in connection with the May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the investment advisory contract occurred. At the May meetings in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the independent trustees without management present, 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. The Board's consideration of the investment 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-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative 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 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 Fund; 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 funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally 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 to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to the 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, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, 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 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 in the context of other factors considered by the Board.

For comparison, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated 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

Annual Shareholder Report

69

associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider the fees for providing advisory services to these outside products to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the compliance programs of, and the compliance-related resources provided to, the Fund by the Adviser. 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. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.

In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board particularly considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The Senior Officer also 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 the 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 Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year period was at the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being taken by the Adviser in the context of other factors considered relevant by the Board.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment 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. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain funds in response to the Senior Officer's recommendations.

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 its profitability information 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 also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be

Annual Shareholder Report

71

enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that Federated and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a fund's inception. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and in connection with the Board's review, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser paid fees. Federated and the Senior Officer noted that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels. It should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. 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 a fund attains a certain size.

While the Senior Officer noted certain items for follow-up reporting to the Board and further consideration by management, he stated that his observations and information accompanying the Senior Officer's Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's investment 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 investment 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 investment 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 investment advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the investment 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 continuation of the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

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, 2017 (“reporting period”), was 0.52% for its Class A Shares. The 0.52% total return for the reporting period consisted of 2.25% of tax-exempt dividends and price loss of -1.73% 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 1.16% 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 0.05% during the same reporting 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 is shown through credit ratings which indicate the risk that 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 reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 1.54% in September of 2016 to a high of 2.63% in March of 2017 and averaged 2.22%. Economic activity in the U.S. expanded at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial setbacks during the reporting period.

Inflation showed signs of picking up during the reporting period; however, it continued to run below the two percent target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected declines in energy prices and impacts of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate three times by ¼ percent over the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the federal funds' target rate, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a two percent inflation target, are essential. The labor market continued to strengthen as economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained solid and the unemployment rate stayed near its lows in recent months. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved. There remained considerable uncertainty

about the prospects for changes in fiscal and other government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations and increased infrastructure spending were among the important policy issues the Trump administration mentioned as priorities.

During the reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) resulted in immediate asset price volatility and some financial markets, particularly certain foreign exchange markets, experienced brief periods of strained liquidity. Safe haven asset prices appreciated substantially, but broad-based market dislocations did not develop. Overall, the negative sentiment surrounding the Brexit outcome was subsequently alleviated by expectations of the central banks being more accommodative. Nevertheless, several long-term global risks related to Brexit remained such as the potential for conservative, populists political parties to gain influence in coming elections in Europe. France and Germany are of particular interest because of their leadership positions within the European Union. The populist loss in the French national elections created a relief rally for the markets concerning potential trade related impacts. There also continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the Eurozone region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. The European Central Bank announced that it would maintain its asset purchase program.

Downward pressure on domestic energy activity continued over most of the reporting period as oil prices dropped further. The imbalance of crude oil supply relative to demand remained, and it was not expected to resolve quickly. The collapse in the price of oil supported the fixed-income markets by further reducing price pressures and generating concerns that the drop in oil prices might reflect declining demand in a weakening global economy. The support for household spending from lower energy prices was offset by the restraint implied by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the possibility of adverse effects from slower economic growth in China.

State and local government payrolls increased somewhat near the end of the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”- and “BBB”-rated general obligation debt widened at different maturities along the yield curve during the period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continues to be a focal point for states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois. The municipal bond market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt was lower than in previous periods as

Annual Shareholder Report

issuers were hesitant to add additional leverage and the economic benefits of refunding existing debt became less advantageous. Flows from investors into intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

Michigan's ratings remained strong. Moody's (“Aa1”), S&P (“AA”) and Fitch (“AA”) maintained their ratings on the state's general obligation bonds. All three carried stable outlooks, although subsequent to the end of the reporting period S&P revised its outlook to positive. The governor signed a balanced budget for 2018 in July. The state is working to rebuild its reserves and address underfunded pensions.

Michigan's economy is currently showing signs of cyclical gains. At 3.7% the statewide unemployment rate at the end of July was below the national average of 4.3%. Local governments face challenges, particularly in regards to pensions, but have been buoyed by improvements in the state's economy. Notably, Detroit is moving forward from its bankruptcy and Wayne County saw upgrades from both Moody's and Fitch. At the same time, Flint continues to struggle with its water system.

Over the reporting period, spreads on Michigan State general obligation bonds tightened by 2 to 3 basis points compared to the Thomson Municipal Market Data “AAA” Curve benchmark.

The Bond Buyer reported that issuance of Michigan municipal bonds for the reporting period was 34% lower than during the prior 12-month period. Nationally issuance declined 4.8% over the same time frame.

SECURITY SELECTION

During the 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. In particular, several holdings were advance refunded (which results in future principal and interest payments being secured or guaranteed by cash or U.S. Treasury securities held in an escrow account). Additionally, since the Intermediate Index consists of national bonds while the Fund only included securities issued in Michigan, the Fund's return was positively influenced by conditions which were specific to the state.

YIELD CURVE and MATURITY

During the reporting period, the yield curve steepened. Rates rose across the curve, but longer bonds saw larger increases than shorter bonds. The Fund was helped by being underweight bonds with more than 8 years duration but was hurt by its large exposure to bonds with 6 to 8 years of duration. The latter

Annual Shareholder Report

group saw similar spread widening to the longest bonds, but their lower yields did less to mitigate the price impact. Overall, the Fund's yield curve positioning was a drag on its performance compared to the Index.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration was 4.4 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. Throughout the reporting period the Fund's duration was generally shorter than the duration of the Intermediate Index–on average, its duration was 90% of the Intermediate Index. Given that interest rates rose over the course of the reporting period, the Fund's duration call contributed positively to the Fund's performance relative to the Intermediate Index.

CREDIT QUALITY⁷

During the reporting period, the Fund, according to its strategy, maintained a high-quality portfolio, with over 95% of the portfolio rated in one of the three highest rating categories (“AAA,” “AA” and “A”) throughout the period. The Fund's consequent underweight allocation relative to the Intermediate Index in “BBB”-rated bonds and non-investment grade bonds (each of which outperformed high grade bonds) detracted from the Fund's overall performance versus the Intermediate Index.

SECTOR Allocation

During the reporting period, sector selection provided a neutral contribution to total return relative to the Intermediate Index. The Fund's best-performing sectors were Airports, Local General Obligations and Water & Sewer bonds. Lagging sectors included Public Power, Appropriation and Hospital bonds. Overall, the Fund's sector allocation slightly detracted from performance as compared to the Intermediate Index.

4	Duration is a measure of the price sensitivity of a fixed-income security 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.

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.

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 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 with a minimum maturity of 3 years and a maximum maturity of 15 years. It is a subindex of the S&P Municipal Bond Index which tracks fixed-rate tax-free bonds and bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The index includes bonds of all quality–from “AAA” to non-rated, including defaulted bonds–from all sectors of the municipal bond market. 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.
3	Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2017

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 are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	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, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■	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 last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, 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, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.

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 more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a pricing service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not representative of the fair value of such security, 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 obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Annual Shareholder Report

19

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. 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 assist in determining fair value 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, methods, models 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 any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any 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. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. The detail of the total fund expense waiver of $211,672 is disclosed in Note 5.

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. For the year ended August 31, 2017, the Fund incurred $283,481 of other service fees.

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, 2017, 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, 2017, tax years 2014 through 2017 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. The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance.

3. SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

The following table summarizes share activity:

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, 2017, 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)
$(161)	$161

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

Annual Shareholder Report

21

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

	2017	2016
Tax-exempt income	$2,598,845	$3,050,783
Long-term capital gains	$425,602	$367,767

As of August 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$297
Net unrealized appreciation	$5,814,772
Capital loss carryforwards and deferrals	$(313,769)

At August 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $103,758,645. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $5,814,772. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,845,276 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $30,504.

Under current tax rules, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred, in whole or in part, and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2017 for federal income tax purposes, post-October losses of $313,769 were deferred to September 1, 2017.

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, 2017, the Adviser waived $211,672 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

Annual Shareholder Report

22

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, 2017, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.079% of average daily net assets of the Fund.

Other Service Fees

For the year ended August 31, 2017, FSSC received $3,018 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, 2017, FSC retained $199 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $13 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A Shares.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2017, 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 $31,900,000 and $30,900,000, respectively.

Expense Limitation

The Adviser and certain of its affiliates (which may include FAS and FSSC) on their own initiative have agreed to waive certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding interest expense, extraordinary expenses, line of credit 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, 2018; 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. These expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous 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	$14,403,901
Sales	$31,069,523

Annual Shareholder Report

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, 2017, 43.4% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments were 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) a letter of credit from any one institution or agency, Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., was 21.0% of total investments.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates with certain other Federated Funds, on a several basis, in an up to $500,000,000 unsecured, 364-day, committed, revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement. The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin. The LOC also requires the Fund to pay, quarterly in arrears and at maturity, its pro rata share of a commitment fee based on the amount of the lenders' commitment that has not been utilized. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), 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, 2017, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the program was not utilized.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective September 1, 2017, the breakpoints of Administrative Fees paid to FAS, described above, changed to:

Administrative Services Fee Rate	Average Daily Net Assets of the Investment Complex
0.100 of 1%	on assets up to $50 billion
0.075 of 1%	on assets over $50 billion

11. Federated Tax Information (unaudited)

For the year ended August 31, 2017, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the fund was $425,602.

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017, 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, 2017, 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, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2017, 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

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, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

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 3/1/2017	Ending Account Value 8/31/2017	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual	$1,000	$1,031.50	$3.94
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses)	$1,000	$1,021.32	$3.92

1 Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized net expense ratio of 0.77%, 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 2017

Federated Michigan Intermediate Municipal Trust (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term at its May 2017 meetings. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

The 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 “Senior Officer's Evaluation”). The Board considered the Senior Officer's Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the investment advisory contract.

The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board has indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the Fund and of comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to an 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 an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Fund's 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 an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. Consistent with the judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the

Annual Shareholder Report

35

Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and its advisory affiliates 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 investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated Investors, Inc. and its affiliates (“Federated”) on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Board was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information in connection with the May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the investment advisory contract occurred. At the May meetings in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the independent trustees without management present, 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. The Board's consideration of the investment 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-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative 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 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 Fund; 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 funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally available for exchange without the incurrence of additional sales charges; compliance and

Annual Shareholder Report

36

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 to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to the 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, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, 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 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 the Board was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

For comparison, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated 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 the fees for providing advisory services to these outside products to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Annual Shareholder Report

37

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the compliance programs of, and the compliance-related resources provided to, the Fund by the Adviser. 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. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.

In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board particularly considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The Senior Officer also 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 the 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.

The Fund's performance fell below the median of the relevant peer group for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods covered by the Senior Officer's Evaluation. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being taken by the Adviser in the context of other factors considered relevant by the Board.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment advisory contracts,

Annual Shareholder Report

38

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. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain funds in response to the Senior Officer's recommendations.

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 its profitability information 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 also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that Federated and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a fund's inception. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and in connection with the Board's review, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser paid fees. Federated and the Senior Officer noted

Annual Shareholder Report

39

that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels. It should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. 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 a fund attains a certain size.

While the Senior Officer noted certain items for follow-up reporting to the Board and further consideration by management, he stated that his observations and information accompanying the Senior Officer's Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's investment 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 investment 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 investment 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 investment advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the investment 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 continuation of the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)

The total return of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), based on net asset value for the 12-month reporting period ended August 31, 2017 (“reporting period”), was 0.27% for the Class A Shares and -0.48% for the Class B Shares. The 0.27% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 2.79% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price depreciation of 2.52% 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 0.88%, during the same period. The total return for the S&P Municipal Bond NY, Investment Grade, 3-Year Plus Sub-Index (NYIG3 Index),³ a secondary benchmark for the Fund, was 0.78%, and the total return of the Morningstar Muni New York Long Funds Average (MMNYLFA),⁴ a peer group for the Fund, was 0.21% 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 or NYIG3 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);^5,6 (b) the allocation of the portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit quality of portfolio securities (which is shown through credit ratings which indicate the risk that securities may default).⁷ These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the NYIG3 Index during the reporting period.

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

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 1.54% in September of 2016 to a high of 2.63% in March of 2017 and averaged 2.22%. Economic activity in the U.S. expanded at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial setbacks during the reporting period.

Inflation showed signs of picking up in recent months; however, it continued to run below the two percent target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected declines in energy prices and impacts of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate three times by ¼ percent over the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the federal funds' target rate, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a two percent inflation target, are essential. The labor market continued to strengthen as economic activity

expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained solid and the unemployment rate stayed near its lows in recent months. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved. There remained considerable uncertainty about the prospects for changes in fiscal and other government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations and increased infrastructure spending were among the important policy issues the Trump administration mentioned as priorities.

During the reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) resulted in immediate asset price volatility and some financial markets, particularly certain foreign exchange markets, experienced brief periods of strained liquidity. Safe haven asset prices appreciated substantially, but broad-based market dislocations did not develop. Overall, the negative sentiment surrounding the Brexit outcome was subsequently alleviated by expectations of the central banks being more accommodative. Nevertheless, several long-term global risks related to Brexit remained such as the potential for conservative, populists political parties to gain influence in coming elections in Europe. France and Germany are of particular interest because of their leadership positions within the European Union. The populist loss in the French national elections created a relief rally for the markets concerning potential trade related impacts. There also continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. The European Central Bank announced that it would maintain its asset purchase program.

Downward pressure on domestic energy activity continued over most of the reporting period as oil prices dropped further. The imbalance of crude oil supply relative to demand remained, and it was not expected to resolve quickly. The collapse in the price of oil supported the fixed-income markets by further reducing price pressures and generating concerns that the drop in oil prices might reflect declining demand in a weakening global economy. The support for household spending from lower energy prices was offset by the restraint implied by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the possibility of adverse effects from slower economic growth in China.

State and local government payrolls increased somewhat near the end of the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”- and “BBB”-rated general obligation debt widened at different maturities along the yield curve during the period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continues to be a focal point for states

such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois. The municipal bond market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt was lower than in previous periods as issuers were hesitant to add additional leverage and the economic benefits of refunding existing debt became less advantageous. Flows from investors into intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

Chicago, Illinois failed to come to political terms over a solution for underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued throughout the reporting period. Some state and local governments turned to the courts for assistance in lowering their onerous pension liabilities, but responses from the courts were generally not favorable. Any workouts of these concerns are likely to take many years which will continue to constrain state and local government budgets and limit their capacity to deal with severe infrastructure needs. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny.

New York is the third largest U.S. state by population and has a large and diverse economy with high per capita income and a gross state product of over $1.2 trillion dollars. The state has a well below average leverage position with respect to its pension liabilities. The state implemented pension reforms in 2012 for all new employees which raised the retirement age, increased employee contributions and increased the number of years included in the calculation for final average salary on which pension benefits are based. New York followed a number of strong management practices, including multi-year financial planning and consensus revenue forecasting. The state had a long record of late budget adoption but passed its budget on time for almost every year of the last decade. The performance of the financial services industry is very important to New York's credit profile. The state's finances are highly sensitive to income tax payments from the wealthy and to employment in the highly-paid securities industry which are centered in New York City.

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration for the reporting period was 4.6 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's average duration was shorter than the average duration of the NYIG3 Index during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields increased early in the reporting period and increased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly steepened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration underperformed bonds with a shorter

duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's underweight to bonds with longer durations relative to those included in the NYIG3 Index, duration had a positive impact on Fund performance over the reporting period. The Fund used Treasury interest rate futures to manage duration over the period. The use of these instruments had a negative impact on performance relative to the NYIG3 Index.

SeCTOR ALLOCATION

During the reporting period, sector allocation positively contributed to the excess return of the Fund. The Fund maintained a higher portfolio allocation to Toll Roads, Higher Education and Resource Recovery revenue bonds than the benchmark. These higher allocations positively impacted the Fund's performance due to the outperformance of these sectors relative to the NYIG3 Index. The Fund had larger allocations to Hospital and Industrial Development revenue bonds than the NYIG3 Index. These sectors underperformed the NYIG3 Index during the reporting period and provided negative excess return relative to the NYIG3 Index.

credit QUALITY⁸

During the reporting period, investor appetite for yield in the low interest rate environment increased municipal bond fund inflows and resulted in outperformance of bonds rated “BBB” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the higher rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) of the NYIG3 Index. Bonds in the noninvestment-grade category, below “BBB,” outperformed the higher rating categories relative to the NYIG3 Index and contributed positive excess return. The Fund's overweight position, relative to the NYIG3 Index, in “BBB” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. The Fund's underweight in bonds rated “AAA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) also made a positive contribution to performance as bonds in this rating category underperformed the NYIG3 index.

5	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.
6	Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices.
7	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
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.

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 of shares held up to one year from the purchase date. The Fund's performance assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. The NY Index, NYIG3 Index and MMNYLFA 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 NYIG3 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 NYIG3 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 NYIG3 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 funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2017

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. Class B shares were closed to new accounts/investors on June 1, 2015, and to new purchases/exchanges by existing shareholders on August 1, 2015. 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 are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■	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 last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, 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, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.

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 more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a pricing service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not

Annual Shareholder Report

20

representative of the fair value of such security, 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 obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. 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 assist in determining fair value 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, methods, models 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 any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any 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. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. 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. The detail of the total fund expense waiver and reimbursements of $209,866 is disclosed in various locations in this Note 2 and Note 5.

Annual Shareholder Report

21

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.

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, 2017, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred	Other Service Fees Reimbursed
Class A Shares	$69,032	$(2,648)
Class B Shares	4,128	—
TOTAL	$73,160	$(2,648)

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, 2017, 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, 2017, tax years 2014 through 2017 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.

Annual Shareholder Report

22

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, 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 seek to increase return and to manage duration risk and yield curve risk. Upon entering into a financial futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account, either U.S. government securities or a specified amount of Restricted cash, which is shown 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 contracts are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

At August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

The average notional value of long and short futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period were $96,707 and 215,117, respectively. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the fiscal year.

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. The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance.

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 expiration of capital loss carryforwards.

For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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)
$(847,826)	$(3,277)	$851,103

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, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

	2017	2016
Tax-exempt income	$806,106	$912,271
Ordinary income	$10,662	$—

Annual Shareholder Report

24

As of August 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$252
Net unrealized appreciation	$1,372,792
Capital loss carryforwards	$(1,544,443)

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, 2017, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $25,969,506. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $1,372,792. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $1,409,257 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $36,465.

At August 31, 2017, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $1,544,443 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

26

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, 2017, FSC retained $3,785 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $1,182 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class B Shares.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2017, 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 $6,150,000 and $4,950,000, 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 certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding interest expense, extraordinary expenses, line of credit 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 later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2017; or (b) the date of the Fund's next effective Prospectus.

Purchases	$3,756,868
Sales	$9,288,168

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, 2017, 3.3% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments were backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.

The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Federated New York Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”), a portfolio of Federated Municipal Securities Income Trust, as of August 31, 2017, 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, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2017, 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.

As discussed in Note 10 to the financial statements, on August 18, 2017, the Trustees approved the reorganization of the Fund into Federated Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. The reorganization, subject to shareholders approval, is expected to occur no later than the fourth quarter of 2017.

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, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

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

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 3/1/2017	Ending Account Value 8/31/2017	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,031.20	$3.99
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,027.30	$7.87
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.27	$3.97
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,017.44	$7.83

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	0.78%
Class B Shares	1.54%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2017

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 of Trustees (the “Board”) reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term at its May 2017 meetings. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

The 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 “Senior Officer's Evaluation”). The Board considered the Senior Officer's Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the investment advisory contract.

The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board has indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the Fund and of comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to an 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 an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Fund's 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 an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. Consistent with the judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the

Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and its advisory affiliates 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 investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated Investors, Inc. and its affiliates (“Federated”) on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Board was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information in connection with the May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the investment advisory contract occurred. At the May meetings in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the independent trustees without management present, 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. The Board's consideration of the investment 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-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative 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 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 Fund; 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 funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally 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 to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to the 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, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, 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 marketplace in which the Fund competes.

It was noted in the materials for the Board meeting that for the period covered by the Senior Officer's 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 the Board was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

For comparison, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated 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

Annual Shareholder Report

41

associated with management and a variety of different costs. The Senior Officer did not consider the fees for providing advisory services to these outside products to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the compliance programs of, and the compliance-related resources provided to, the Fund by the Adviser. 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. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.

In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board particularly considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The Senior Officer also 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 the 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 Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year period 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 three-year and five-year periods. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being taken by the Adviser in the context of other factors considered relevant by the Board.

Annual Shareholder Report

42

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment 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. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain funds in response to the Senior Officer's recommendations.

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 its profitability information 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 also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be

Annual Shareholder Report

43

enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that Federated and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a fund's inception. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and in connection with the Board's review, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser paid fees. Federated and the Senior Officer noted that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels. It should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. 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 a fund attains a certain size.

While the Senior Officer noted certain items for follow-up reporting to the Board and further consideration by management, he stated that his observations and information accompanying the Senior Officer's Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's investment 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 investment 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 investment 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 investment advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the investment 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 continuation of the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

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, 2017,(“reporting period”) was 0.02% for Class A Shares and -0.22% for Class F Shares. The 0.02% total return of the A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 2.79% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price depreciation of -2.77% 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 1.14% during the same period. The total return for S&P Municipal Bond OH, Investment Grade, 3-Year Plus Index (OHIG3 Index),³ a secondary index for the Fund, was 0.89%, and the total return of the Morningstar Muni Ohio Funds Average (MMOFA),⁴ a peer group average for the Fund, was 0.00% 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 and OHIG3 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);^5,6 (b) the allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit quality of portfolio securities (which is shown through credit ratings which indicate the risk that securities may default).⁷ These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the OHIG3 Index during the reporting period.

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

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 1.54% in September of 2016 to a high of 2.63% in March of 2017 and averaged 2.22%. Economic activity in the U.S. expanded at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial setbacks during the reporting period.

Inflation showed signs of picking up in recent months; however, it continued to run below the two percent target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected declines in energy prices and impacts of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate three times by ¼ percent over the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the federal funds' target rate, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a two percent inflation target, are essential. The labor market continued to strengthen as economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained solid and the unemployment

rate stayed near its lows during the reporting period. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved. There remained considerable uncertainty about the prospects for changes in fiscal and other government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations and increased infrastructure spending were among the important policy issues the Trump administration mentioned as priorities.

During the reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) resulted in immediate asset price volatility and some financial markets, particularly certain foreign exchange markets, experienced brief periods of strained liquidity. Safe haven asset prices appreciated substantially, but broad-based market dislocations did not develop. Overall, the negative sentiment surrounding the Brexit outcome was subsequently alleviated by expectations of the central banks being more accommodative. Nevertheless, several long-term global risks related to Brexit remained such as the potential for conservative, populists political parties to gain influence in coming elections in Europe. France and Germany are of particular interest because of their leadership positions within the European Union. The populist loss in the French national elections created a relief rally for the markets concerning potential trade related impacts. There also continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. The European Central Bank announced that it would maintain its asset purchase program.

Downward pressure on domestic energy activity continued over most of the reporting period as oil prices dropped further. The imbalance of crude oil supply relative to demand remained, and it was not expected to resolve quickly. The collapse in the price of oil supported the fixed-income markets by further reducing price pressures and generating concerns that the drop in oil prices might reflect declining demand in a weakening global economy. The support for household spending from lower energy prices was offset by the restraint implied by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the possibility of adverse effects from slower economic growth in China.

State and local government payrolls increased somewhat near the end of the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”- and “BBB”-rated general obligation debt widened at different maturities along the yield curve during the period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continued to be a focal point for states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois. The municipal bond market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt was lower than in previous periods as issuers were hesitant to add additional leverage and the economic benefits of refunding existing debt became less advantageous. Flows from investors into intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

Chicago, Illinois failed to come to political terms over a solution for underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued throughout the reporting period. Some state and local governments turned to the courts for assistance in lowering their onerous pension liabilities, but responses from the courts were generally not favorable. Any workouts of these concerns are likely to take many years which will continue to constrain state and local government budgets and limit their capacity to deal with severe infrastructure needs. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny.

Ohio is the 7^th largest state by population in the United States and its gross domestic product per capita also ranks 7^th among the states. The state's economy remained stable and regained many of the jobs lost from the recession. Ohio's job growth was below the national average after an initially strong post-recession recovery. The manufacturing and energy sector showed some signs of softening with better growth in the financial services and health care sectors during the reporting period. The state's conservative budget management and continued growth have maintained solid financial performance and allowed for the absorption of several tax reforms that date back to fiscal 2012. The state maintained high levels of internal liquidity, moderate and affordable long term liabilities during the reporting period and a statutory requirement to deposit year end surplus revenues into a budget stabilization fund.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration for the reporting period was 4.5 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's average duration was shorter than the average duration of the OHIG3 Index during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields increased early in the reporting period and increased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly steepened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration underperformed bonds with a shorter duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's underweight to bonds with longer durations relative to those included in the OHIG3 Index, duration had a significant positive impact on Fund performance over the reporting period. The Fund used Treasury interest rate futures to manage duration over the reporting period which had a negative impact on Fund performance.

SECTOR allocation

During the reporting period, sector allocation negatively contributed to the excess return of the Fund. The Fund had larger allocation to pre-fefunded bonds, industrial development debt and toll road bonds than the OHIG3 Index. These sectors underperformed the OHIG3 Index during the reporting period and provided negative excess return relative to the OHIG3 Index. Pre-refunded bonds are escrowed in Treasury securities until their most recent call date and have less sensitivity to changes in interest rates as a result. The Fund maintained a higher portfolio allocation to airport and hospital revenue bonds. These allocations helped the Fund's performance due to the outperformance of these sectors relative to the OHIG3 Index.

credit QUALITY

During the reporting period, investor appetite for yield in the low interest rate environment increased municipal bond fund inflows and resulted in outperformance of bonds rated “BBB” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the higher rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) of the OHIG3 Index. Bonds in the noninvestment-grade⁸ category, below “BBB,” underperformed the higher rating categories. The Fund's overweight position, relative to the OHIG3 Index, in “BBB” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. The Fund's underweight in bonds rated “AAA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) also made a positive contribution to performance as bonds in this rating category underperformed the OHIG3 index.

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.

7	Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.
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.

* The Fund's Class A Shares commenced operations on November 18, 2008. For the period prior to the commencement of operations of the Class A Shares, the performance information shown is for the Fund's Class F Shares adjusted to reflect the sales charges and expenses of the Class A Shares.

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, OHIG3 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 OHIG3 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. The OHIG3 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 OHIG3 Index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Morningstar figures represent the average of the total returns reported by all the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of August 31, 2017, all investments of the Fund utilized Level 2 inputs in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2017

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.

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 are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■	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 last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, 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, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.

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 more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a pricing service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not

Annual Shareholder Report

22

representative of the fair value of such security, 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 obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Fair Valuation and Significant Events Procedures

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. 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 assist in determining fair value 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, methods, models 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 any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any 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 and paid monthly. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. 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. The detail of the total fund expense waivers of $525,275 is disclosed in various locations in Note 5.

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.

Annual Shareholder Report

23

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, 2017, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred
Class A Shares	$156,000
Class F Shares	259,224
TOTAL	$415,224

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, 2017, 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, 2017, tax years 2014 through 2017 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, 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.

Annual Shareholder Report

24

Futures Contracts

The Fund purchases and sells financial futures contracts to seek to increase return and to manage duration risk and yield curve risk. Upon entering into a financial futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account, either U.S. government securities or a specified amount of Restricted cash, which is shown 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 contracts are exchange traded and the exchange's clearing house, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures contracts, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

The average notional value of long and short futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period were $2,583,846 and $478,365, respectively. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the fiscal year.

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. The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance.

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, payment-in-kind bond adjustment, defaulted security interest and excise requirements.

For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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)
$(48,791)	$9,334	$39,457

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, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

	2017	2016
Ordinary income	$—	$3,946
Long-term capital gains	$87,218	$—
Tax-exempt income	$4,592,975	$4,905,674

As of August 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$143,217
Net unrealized appreciation	$7,513,169
Post-October losses deferred	$(888,097)

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.

Annual Shareholder Report

26

At August 31, 2017, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $152,436,285. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $7,513,169. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $7,654,017 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $140,848.

Under current tax rules, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred, in whole or part, and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. As of August 31, 2017, for federal income tax purposes, post-October losses of $888,097 were deferred to September 1, 2017.

The Fund used capital loss carryforwards of $91,054 to offset capital gains realized during the year ended August 31, 2017.

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, 2017, the Adviser voluntarily waived $266,051 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, 2017, the annualized fee paid to FAS was 0.079% 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 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, 2017, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Services Fees Incurred	Distribution Services Fees Waived
Class F Shares	$416,024	$(259,224)

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, 2017, FSC retained $156,800 of fees paid by the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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.

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, 2017, FSC retained $4,771 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC retained $1,268 and $15,917 in CDSC relating to redemptions of Class A and Class F Shares, respectively.

Other Service Fees

For the year ended August 31, 2017, FSSC received $1,833 of the other service fees disclosed in Note 2.

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. Total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding interest expense, extraordinary expenses, line of credit 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, 2018; 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. These expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous 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, 2017, were as follows:

Purchases	$13,720,777
Sales	$17,660,241

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, 2017, 8.5% 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 with certain other Federated Funds, on a several basis, in an up to $500,000,000 unsecured, 364-day, committed, revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement. The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin. The LOC also

requires the Fund to pay, quarterly in arrears and at maturity, its pro rata share of a commitment fee based on the amount of the lenders' commitment that has not been utilized. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, 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, 2017, there were no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the program was not utilized.

10. Subsequent Event

0.100 of 1%	on assets up to $50 billion
0.075 of 1%	on assets over $50 billion

11. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

For the year ended August 31,2017, the amount of long-term capital gains designated by the Fund was $87,218.

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, 2017, 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, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2017, 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, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

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

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 3/1/2017	Ending Account Value 8/31/2017	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,030.90	$3.89
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,030.20	$4.66
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.37	$3.87
Class F Shares	$1,000	$1,020.62	$4.63

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 F Shares	0.91%

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2017

Federated Ohio Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term at its May 2017 meetings. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

The 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 “Senior Officer's Evaluation”). The Board considered the Senior Officer's Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the investment advisory contract.

The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board has indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the Fund and of comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to an 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 an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Fund's 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 an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. Consistent with the judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the

Annual Shareholder Report

Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and its advisory affiliates 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 investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated Investors, Inc. and its affiliates (“Federated”) on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Board was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information in connection with the May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the investment advisory contract occurred. At the May meetings in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the independent trustees without management present, 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. The Board's consideration of the investment 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-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative 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 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 Fund; 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 funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally 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 to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to the 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, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, 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 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 the Board was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

For comparison, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated 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 the fees for providing advisory services to these outside products to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the compliance programs of, and the compliance-related resources provided to, the Fund by the Adviser. 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. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.

In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board particularly considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The Senior Officer also 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 the 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 Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year period was above the median of the relevant peer group, and the Fund's performance was at the median of the relevant peer group for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being taken by the Adviser in the context of other factors considered relevant by the Board.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment 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. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain funds in response to the Senior Officer's recommendations.

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 its profitability information 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 also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that Federated and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed

Annual Shareholder Report

45

expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a fund's inception. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and in connection with the Board's review, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser paid fees. Federated and the Senior Officer noted that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels. It should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. 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 a fund attains a certain size.

While the Senior Officer noted certain items for follow-up reporting to the Board and further consideration by management, he stated that his observations and information accompanying the Senior Officer's Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's investment 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 investment 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 investment 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 investment advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the investment 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 continuation of the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

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, 2017, (the “reporting period”) was 0.11% for Class A Shares and -0.57% for Class B Shares. The 0.11% total return of the Class A Shares for the reporting period consisted of 2.95% of tax-exempt dividends and reinvestments and price depreciation of 2.84% in the net asset value of the shares.¹ The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond Pennsylvania Index (“PA Index”),² the Fund's broad-based securities market index, was 1.18% during the same period. The total return of the S&P Municipal Bond PA, Investment Grade, 3-Year Plus Sub-Index (PAIG3 Index),³ a secondary index for the Fund, was 1.23%, and the total return of the Morningstar Muni Pennsylvania Funds Average (MMPFA),⁴ a peer group average for the Fund, was 0.35% during the same reporting 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 or PAIG3 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),^5,6 (b) the allocation of the Fund's portfolio among securities of similar issuers (referred to as “sectors”); and (c) the credit quality of portfolio securities (which is shown through credit ratings which indicate the risk that securities may default).⁷ These were the most significant factors affecting the Fund's performance relative to the PAIG3 Index during the reporting period.

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

Market OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, 10-year Treasury yields increased from a low of 1.54% in September of 2016 to a high of 2.63% in March of 2017 and averaged 2.22%. Economic activity in the U.S. expanded at a moderate pace despite the global economic and financial setbacks during the reporting period.

Inflation showed signs of picking up during the reporting period; however, it continued to run below the two percent target inflation rate of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). This partly reflected declines in energy prices and impacts of the dollar's strength on non-energy imports. The Fed's decision to raise the federal funds' target rate three times by ¼ percent over the reporting period was mostly anticipated by the markets. In determining the size and timing of changes in the federal funds' target rate, changes in the Federal Open Market Committee's indicators of maximum employment and a two percent inflation target, are essential. The labor market continued to strengthen as economic activity expanded at a moderate pace. Job gains remained solid and the

Annual Shareholder Report

unemployment rate stayed near its lows during the reporting period. Measures of consumer and business sentiment also improved. There remained considerable uncertainty about the prospects for changes in fiscal and other government policies as well as the timing and magnitude of the net effect of such changes on economic activity. Health care reform, tax reform, changes in financial regulations and increased infrastructure spending were among the important policy issues the Trump administration mentioned as priorities.

During the reporting period, developments in Europe continued to be a focus for investors which indirectly affected interest rate levels in the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The vote by the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (“Brexit”) resulted in immediate asset price volatility and some financial markets, particularly certain foreign exchange markets, experienced brief periods of strained liquidity. Safe haven asset prices appreciated substantially, but broad-based market dislocations did not develop. Overall, the negative sentiment surrounding the Brexit outcome was subsequently alleviated by expectations of the central banks being more accommodative. Nevertheless, several long-term global risks related to Brexit remained such as the potential for conservative and populist political parties to gain influence in coming elections in Europe. France and Germany are of particular interest because of their leadership positions within the European Union. The populist loss in the French national elections created a relief rally for the markets concerning potential trade related impacts. There also continued to be downside risks to growth emanating from the region, given its unresolved imbalances, weak economic growth and continued deflationary risks. The U.S. dollar strengthened against the currencies of most advanced economies amid concerns about growth in those countries as well as announcements by several central banks regarding monetary policy actions. The European Central Bank announced that it would maintain its asset purchase program.

Downward pressure on domestic energy activity continued over most of the reporting period as oil prices dropped further. The imbalance of crude oil supply relative to demand remained, and it was not expected to resolve quickly. The collapse in the price of oil supported the fixed-income markets by further reducing price pressures and generating concerns that the drop in oil prices might reflect declining demand in a weakening global economy. The support for household spending from lower energy prices was offset by the restraint implied by the appreciation of the U.S. dollar and the possibility of adverse effects from slower economic growth in China.

State and local government payrolls increased somewhat near the end of the reporting period while nominal construction spending by these governments declined reflecting a reticence to take on additional debt. The spread between “AAA”- and “BBB”-rated general obligation debt widened at different maturities along the yield curve during the period. Credit quality continued to be generally stable. However, fiscal distress continued to be a focal point for states such as Connecticut, New Jersey and Illinois. The municipal bond

Annual Shareholder Report

2

market's technical (supply and demand) position was mostly favorable over the reporting period. The issuance of municipal debt was lower than in previous periods as issuers were hesitant to add additional leverage, and the economic benefits of refunding existing debt became less advantageous. Flows from investors into intermediate, long and high-yield municipal bonds were positive and broad-based for a significant portion of the reporting period. The intermittent flight-to-quality by investors as a result of the unstable global political and economic environment also favored municipal bonds as they were viewed as a safer alternative investment.

Chicago, Illinois failed to come to political terms over a solution for underfunded pensions and revenue shortfalls. The risk of additional municipal issuers becoming distressed continued throughout the reporting period. Some state and local governments turned to the courts for assistance in lowering their onerous pension liabilities, but responses from the courts were generally not favorable. Any workouts of these concerns are likely to take many years which will continue to constrain state and local government budgets and limit their capacity to deal with severe infrastructure needs. The ongoing pressures on public pension plans and their unfunded liabilities continued to receive significant scrutiny.

During the reporting period, Pennsylvania was the sixth largest state by both population and gross state product. Following decades of a declining manufacturing base, the economic growth engine has become its rejuvenated urban areas. The education and medical sectors have been driving the employment base in these areas. Pennsylvania maintained credit strengths that include a stable and less volatile economy than the overall U.S. economy, above average income levels and a pension reform plan which will likely lead to full funding of the Commonwealth's pension obligations. The contentious political environment did lead to a lengthy stalemate and delayed passage of their 2017 budget. Pension reform passed in 2010 put the pension plans on a path to be fully funded within 30 years subject to contribution collars limiting increases in annual contributions although pension funding will continue to be a key credit issue going forward.

DURATION

As determined at the end of the reporting period, the Fund's dollar-weighted average duration for the reporting period was 4.2 years. Duration management continued to be a significant component of the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund's average duration was shorter than the average duration of the PAIG3 Index during the reporting period. Tax-exempt municipal bond yields increased early in the reporting period and increased more for bonds with longer maturities as the yield curve significantly steepened during the reporting period. Bonds with a longer duration underperformed bonds with a shorter duration due to their differences in interest rate volatility. As a result of the Fund's underweight to bonds with longer durations relative to those included in the

Annual Shareholder Report

3

PAIG3 Index, duration had a positive impact on Fund performance over the reporting period. The Fund used Treasury interest rate futures to manage duration over the reporting period. The use of these instruments had a negative impact on performance relative to the index.

Sector allocation

During the reporting period, sector allocation contributed negatively to excess return. The Fund maintained a higher portfolio allocation to Toll Road, Senior Care and Water and Sewer revenue bonds. These allocations negatively impacted the Fund's performance due to the underperformance of these sectors relative to the PAIG3 Index. Also, the Fund's underweight to state and local general obligation bonds had a negative impact on performance as they outperformed the index during the reporting period, and the Fund was underweight both of these sectors.

credit QUALITY

During the reporting period, investor appetite for yield in the low interest rate environment increased municipal bond fund inflows and resulted in outperformance of bonds rated “BBB” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) relative to bonds rated in the higher rating categories (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) of the PAIG3 Index. Bonds in the noninvestment-grade⁸ category, below “BBB,” underperformed the higher rating categories. The Fund's overweight position, relative to the PAIG3 Index, in “BBB” (or unrated comparable quality) debt during the reporting period had a positive impact on the Fund's performance. The Fund's underweight in bonds rated “AAA” (or unrated bonds of comparable quality) also made a positive contribution to performance as bonds in this rating category underperformed the PAIG3 index.

Credit ratings pertain only to the securities in the portfolio and do not protect Fund shares against market risk.

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.

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 PAIG3 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 PAIG3 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 PAIG3 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 funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the respective category indicated. They do not reflect sales charges. The Morningstar figures in the Growth of $10,000 line graph are based on historical return information published by Morningstar and reflect the return of the funds comprising the category in the year of publication. Because the funds designated by Morningstar as falling into the category can change over time, the Morningstar figures in the line graph may not match the Morningstar figures in the Average Annual Total Returns table, which reflect the return of the funds that currently comprise the category.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Also includes securities valued at amortized cost.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

As of August 31, 2017, all investments of the Fund utilized Level 2 inputs in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2017

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. Class B shares were closed to new accounts/investors on June 1, 2015 and to new purchases/exchanges by existing shareholders on August 1, 2015. 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.

On March 30, 2017, the Fund's T Share class became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but is not yet offered for sale.

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 are fair valued using price evaluations provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”).
■	Derivative contracts listed on exchanges are valued at their reported settlement or closing price, except that options are valued at the mean of closing bid and asked quotations.
■	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 last traded or purchase price of the security, information obtained by contacting the issuer or dealers, 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, public trading in similar securities or derivative contracts of the issuer or comparable issuers, movement of a relevant index, or other factors including but not limited to industry changes and relevant government actions.

Annual Shareholder Report

22

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 more than one dealer for an investment within a reasonable period of time as set forth in the Fund's valuation policies and procedures, or if information furnished by a price service, in the opinion of the valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”), is deemed not representative of the fair value of such security, 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 obtain the fair value assigned to an investment if it sold the investment at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per share.

Fair Valuation Procedures

The Trustees have ultimate responsibility for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available. 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 assist in determining fair value 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, methods, models 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 any U.S. Treasury and Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities. The Fund normally uses mid evaluations for any other types of fixed-income securities and any 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 and paid monthly. Amortization/accretion of premium and discount is included in investment income. 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

Annual Shareholder Report

23

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. The detail of the total fund expense waiver and reimbursement of $262,951 is disclosed in various locations in this Note 2 and Note 5.

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.

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. For the year ended August 31, 2017, other service fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Other Service Fees Incurred	Other Service Fees Reimbursed
Class A Shares	$461,330	$(34,811)
Class B Shares	4,213	—
TOTAL	$465,543	$(34,811)

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, 2017, 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, 2017, tax years 2014 through 2017 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, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the

Annual Shareholder Report

24

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 seek to manage duration and yield curve risks. Upon entering into a financial futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account, either U.S. government securities or a specified amount of Restricted cash, which is shown 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 contracts, guarantees the futures against default.

At August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.

The average notional value of long and short futures contracts held by the Fund throughout the period was $2,920,841 and $1,052,242, respectively. This is based on amounts held as of each month-end throughout the 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. The Fund applies investment company accounting and reporting guidance.

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 expiration of capital loss carryfowards.

For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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)
$(7,218,579)	$(1,042)	$7,219,621

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, 2017 and 2016, was as follows:

	2017	2016
Tax-exempt income	$5,571,125	$6,000,393

As of August 31, 2017, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed tax-exempt income	$166,204
Net unrealized appreciation	$8,122,415
Capital loss carryforwards	$(9,854,978)

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, 2017, the cost of investments for federal tax purposes was $170,448,632. The net unrealized appreciation of investments for federal tax purposes was $8,122,416. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $8,332,443 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $ 210,027.

Annual Shareholder Report

26

At August 31, 2017, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $9,854,978 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
2018	$9,851,417	NA	$9,851,417
2019	$3,561	NA	$3,561

The fund used capital loss carryforwards of $40,166 to offset taxable gains realized during the year ended August 31, 2017. Capital loss carryforwards of $7,218,579 expired during the year ended August 31, 2017.

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, 2017, the Adviser voluntarily waived $228,140 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

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, 2017, distribution services fees for the Fund were as follows:

	Distribution Services Fee Incurred
Class B Shares	$12,638

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, 2017, FSC retained $11,193 of fees paid by the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2017, 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, 2017, FSSC received $33,791 and reimbursed $34,811 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, 2017, FSC retained $11,649 in sales charges from the sale of Class A Shares. FSC also retained $1,741 of CDSC relating to redemptions of Class B Shares.

Interfund Transactions

During the year ended August 31, 2017, 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 $21,950,000 and $23,850,000, 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 certain amounts of their respective fees and/or reimburse expenses. Total annual fund operating expenses (as shown in the financial highlights, excluding interest expense, extraordinary expenses, line of credit 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 later of (the “Termination Date”): (a) November 1, 2018; 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. These expenses related to conducting meetings of the Directors/Trustees and other miscellaneous 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, 2017 were as follows:

Purchases	$10,828,363
Sales	$23,810,810

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, 2017, 5.0% of the securities in the Portfolio of Investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies.

8. LINE OF CREDIT

The Fund participates with certain other Federated Funds, on a several basis, in an up to $500,000,000 unsecured, 364-day, committed, revolving line of credit (LOC) agreement. The LOC was made available to finance temporarily the repurchase or redemption of shares of the Fund, failed trades, payment of dividends, settlement of trades and for other short-term, temporary or emergency general business purposes. The Fund cannot borrow under the LOC if an inter-fund loan is outstanding. The Fund's ability to borrow under the LOC also is subject to the limitations of the Act and various conditions precedent that must be satisfied before the Fund can borrow. Loans under the LOC are charged interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest, on any day, of (a) (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), and (iii) 0.0%, plus (b) a margin. The LOC also requires the Fund to pay, quarterly in arrears and at maturity, its pro rata share of a commitment fee based on the amount of the lenders' commitment that has not been utilized. As of August 31, 2017, the Fund had no outstanding loans. During the year ended August 31, 2017, the Fund did not utilize the LOC.

9. INTERFUND LENDING

During the year ended August 31, 2017, the program was not utilized.

10. Subsequent Event

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, 2017, 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, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian. 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, 2017, 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, 2017 to August 31, 2017.

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

32

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 3/1/2017	Ending Account Value 8/31/2017	Expenses Paid During Period1
Actual:
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1032.00	$3.89
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1028.00	$7.82
Hypothetical (assuming a 5% return before expenses):
Class A Shares	$1,000	$1,021.37	$3.87
Class B Shares	$1,000	$1,017.49	$7.78

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	1.53%

His integrity, intelligence, and keen sense of fiduciary duty, coupled with his faith, family and background as a West Point graduate and Strategic Air Command B-29 pilot, served as a foundation for his strong business acumen and leadership.

Evaluation and Approval of Advisory Contract–May 2017

Federated Pennsylvania Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”)

Following a review and recommendation of approval by the Fund's independent trustees, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the “Board”) reviewed and unanimously approved the continuation of the Fund's investment advisory contract for an additional one-year term at its May 2017 meetings. The Board's decision regarding the contract reflects the exercise of its business judgment after considering all of the information received on whether to continue the existing arrangements.

The 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 “Senior Officer's Evaluation”). The Board considered the Senior Officer's Evaluation, along with other information, in deciding to approve the investment advisory contract.

The Board also considered judicial decisions concerning allegedly excessive investment advisory fees in its decision. Using these judicial decisions as a guide, the Board has indicated that the following factors may be relevant to an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to its receipt of compensation from a fund: (1) the nature and quality of the services provided by an adviser to a fund and its shareholders (including the performance of the Fund and of comparable funds); (2) an adviser's cost of providing the services (including the profitability to an adviser of providing advisory services to a fund); (3) the extent to which an adviser may realize “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger and, if such economies of scale exist, whether they have been shared with a fund and its shareholders or the family of funds; (4) any “fall-out financial benefits” that accrue to an 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 an adviser for services rendered to a fund); (5) comparative fee and expense structures (including a comparison of fees paid to an adviser with those paid by similar funds); and (6) the extent of care, conscientiousness and independence with which the Fund's 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 an adviser's services and fees). The Board noted that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure requirements regarding the basis for the Board's approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract generally align with the factors listed above. Consistent with the judicial decisions and SEC disclosure requirements, the

Annual Shareholder Report

41

Board also considered management fees charged to institutional and other clients of Federated Investment Management Company (the “Adviser”) and its advisory affiliates 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 investment advisory contract to the extent it considered them to be appropriate and relevant, as discussed further below.

The Board considered and weighed these factors in light of its substantial accumulated experience in governing the Fund and working with Federated Investors, Inc. and its affiliates (“Federated”) on matters relating to the Federated funds. The Board was assisted in its deliberations by independent legal counsel. In addition to the extensive materials that comprise and accompany the Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Board received detailed information about the Fund and the Federated organization throughout the year, and in connection with its May meetings. Federated provided much of this information at each regular meeting of the Board, and furnished additional information in connection with the May meetings at which the Board's formal approval of the investment advisory contract occurred. At the May meetings in addition to meeting in separate sessions of the independent trustees without management present, 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. The Board's consideration of the investment 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-term and long-term performance (in absolute terms, both on a gross basis and net of expenses, as well as in terms relative 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 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 Fund; 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 funds which include a comprehensive array of funds with different investment objectives, policies and strategies which are generally 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 to its deliberations. In this regard, the Board was presented with, and considered, information regarding the contractual advisory fee rates, net advisory fee rates, total expense ratios and each element of the Fund's total expense ratio (i.e., gross and net advisory fees, custody fees, portfolio accounting fees and transfer agency fees) relative to the 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, in that they are readily available to Fund shareholders as alternative investment vehicles. Also, 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 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 the Board was satisfied that the overall expense structure of the Fund remained competitive.

For comparison, the Senior Officer has reviewed Federated's fees for providing advisory services to products outside the Federated 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 the fees for providing advisory services to these outside products to be determinative in judging the appropriateness of mutual fund advisory fees.

Annual Shareholder Report

43

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the expenses of the Fund are reasonable and supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and the resources of the Adviser and its affiliates dedicated to the Fund. In this regard, the Board evaluated, among other things, the Adviser's personnel, experience, track record, overall reputation and willingness to invest in personnel and infrastructure that benefit the Fund. In addition, the Board reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the portfolio management team primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the compliance programs of, and the compliance-related resources provided to, the Fund by the Adviser. 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. The Adviser's ability to execute this program was one of the Board's considerations in reaching a conclusion that the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's investment management services warrant the continuation of the investment advisory contract.

In evaluating the Fund's investment performance, the Board considered performance results in light of the Fund's investment objective, strategies and risks, as disclosed in the Fund's prospectus. The Board particularly considered detailed investment reports on the Fund's performance that were provided to the Board throughout the year and in connection with the May meetings. The Senior Officer also 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 the 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 Senior Officer's Evaluation, the Fund's performance for the one-year period 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 three-year and five-year periods. The Board discussed the Fund's performance with the Adviser and recognized the efforts being taken by the Adviser in the context of other factors considered relevant by the Board.

Following such evaluation, and full deliberations, the Board concluded that the performance of the Fund supported renewal of the Fund's investment advisory contract.

The Board also received financial information about Federated, including information regarding the compensation and ancillary (or “fall-out”) benefits Federated derived from its relationships with the Federated funds. This information covered not only the fees under the investment 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. Moreover, the Board receives regular reporting as to the institution, adjustment or elimination of these voluntary waivers. The Board considered Federated's previous reductions in contractual management fees to certain funds in response to the Senior Officer's recommendations.

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 its profitability information 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 also noted that Federated appeared financially sound, with the resources to fulfill its obligations under its contracts with the Fund.

The Senior Officer's Evaluation also discussed the notion of possible realization of “economies of scale” as a fund grows larger. In this regard, the Board considered that the Adviser has made significant and long-term investments in areas that support all of the Federated funds, such as personnel and processes for the portfolio management, shareholder services, compliance, internal audit and risk management functions, as well as systems technology (including technology relating to cybersecurity) and that the benefits of these efforts (as well as any economies of scale, should they exist) were likely to be enjoyed by the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Adviser's investments in these areas are extensive. In addition, the Board considered that Federated and its affiliates have frequently waived fees and/or reimbursed

Annual Shareholder Report

45

expenses and that this has allowed fund shareholders to share potential economies of scale from a fund's inception. Federated, as it does throughout the year, and in connection with the Board's review, furnished information relative to revenue sharing or adviser paid fees. Federated and the Senior Officer noted that this information should be viewed to determine if there was an incentive to either not apply breakpoints, or to apply breakpoints at higher levels. It should not be viewed to determine the appropriateness of advisory fees because it would represent marketing and distribution expenses. 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 a fund attains a certain size.

While the Senior Officer noted certain items for follow-up reporting to the Board and further consideration by management, he stated that his observations and information accompanying the Senior Officer's Evaluation supported a finding by the Board that the management fee for the Fund was reasonable. Under these circumstances, no changes were recommended to, and no objection was raised to the continuation of the Fund's investment 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 investment 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 investment 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 investment advisory contract was appropriate.

The Board based its decision to approve the investment 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 continuation of the contract reflects its determination that Federated's performance and actions provided a satisfactory basis to support the decision to continue the existing arrangement.

(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.

(e)(2) Percentage of services identified in items 4(b) through 4(d) that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:

4(b)

Fiscal year ended 2017 – 0%

Fiscal year ended 2016 - 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

4(c)

Fiscal year ended 2017 – 0%

Fiscal year ended 2016 – 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

4(d)

Fiscal year ended 2017 – 0%

Fiscal year ended 2016 – 0%

Percentage of services provided to the registrants investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were approved by the registrants audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, 0% and 0% respectively.

(f) NA

(g) Non-Audit Fees billed to the registrant, the registrant’s investment adviser, and certain entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser:

Fiscal year ended 2017 - $18,133

Fiscal year ended 2016 - $0

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee has considered that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to 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 that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

In its required communications to the Audit Committee of the registrant’s Board, KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), the registrant’s independent public accountant, informed the Audit Committee that KPMG and/or covered person professionals within KPMG maintain lending relationships with certain owners of greater than 10% of the shares of the registrant and/or certain investment companies within the “investment company complex” as defined under Rule 2-01(f)(14) of Regulation S-X, which are affiliates of the registrant. KPMG has advised the Audit Committee that these lending relationships implicate Rule 2-01(c)(1)(ii)(A) of Regulation S-X (referred to as the “Loan Rule”). The Loan Rule prohibits an independent public accountant, or covered person professionals at such firm, from having a financial relationship (such as a loan) with a lender that is a record or beneficial owner of more than 10% of an audit client’s equity securities. For purposes of the Loan Rule, audit clients include the registrant, as well as all registered investment companies audited by KPMG (collectively, the “KPMG Funds”).

KPMG informed the Audit Committee that KPMG believes that these lending relationships described above do not and will not impair KPMG’s ability to exercise objective and impartial judgment in connection with financial statement audits of the registrant and a reasonable investor with knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances would conclude that KPMG has been and is capable of objective and impartial judgment on all issues encompassed within KPMG’s audits.

On June 20, 2016, the Division of Investment Management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a no-action letter to another mutual fund complex (see Fidelity Management & Research Company et al., No-Action Letter) related to similar Loan Rule matters as those described above. In that letter, the SEC Staff confirmed that it would not recommend enforcement action against an investment company that relied on the audit services performed by an independent public accountant where the Loan Rule was implicated in certain specified circumstances. In that letter, the SEC staff indicated that it would not recommend enforcement action against the investment company complex if the Loan Rule is implicated provided that: (1) the auditor has complied with PCAOB Rule 3526(b)(1) and 3526(b)(2); (2) the Loan Rule is implicated because of lending relationships; and (3) notwithstanding such lending relationships that implicate the Loan Rule, the auditor has concluded that it is objective and impartial with respect to the issues encompassed within its engagement as auditor of the funds. The circumstances described in the no-action letter are substantially similar to the circumstances that implicated the Loan Rule with respect to KPMG and the registrant. The SEC No-Action Letter provides relief until the effectiveness of any amendments to the Loan Rule designed to address the concerns in that letter.

If it were to be determined that the relief available under the no-action letter was improperly relied upon, or that the independence requirements under the federal securities laws were not otherwise complied with regarding the registrant, for certain periods, any of the registrant’s filings with the SEC which contain financial statements of the registrant for such periods may not comply with applicable federal securities laws, the registrant’s ability to offer shares under its current registration statement may be impacted, and certain financial reporting and/or other covenants with, and representations and warranties to, the registrant’s lender under its committed line of credit may be impacted. Such events could have a material adverse effect on the registrant and the KPMG Funds.
