U.S. equities (as represented by the S&P 500 Index) achieved an 8.06% total return for the period, including dividends. Positive factors influencing markets during this time included a continuing trend of generally subdued inflation, accommodative global central bank policy, generally positive employment gains, and continued growth - albeit modest - in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, continued low interest rates and a strong year in merger-and-acquisition activity also helped drive a rise in some individual stock prices and overall market valuations.
As displayed in the chart below, after starting the fiscal year at a price level of 2,080, the S&P 500 Index staged an uneven decline through the beginning of February as plunging commodity prices and China’s slowing economic growth stoked speculation about a possible global recession. Also, U.S. corporate profits remained constrained early in the year, with the relative strength of the U.S. dollar continuing to provide a headwind for large-cap multi-national companies. Despite this challenging environment, the U.S. economy managed to post a 0.8% increase to GDP during the first quarter (January – March) - its first increase during that particular reporting period in three years. After recording a period low of 1,829 on February 11, 2016, the S&P 500 Index made an upward, albeit irregular march into early June, sustained by pockets of global economic growth, positive U.S. labor reports, improving crude oil fundamentals, and continued easy-money policy support from global central banks. During this rebound, the current U.S. bull market rally - which began in March 2009 - entered its eighth year, making it the second longest bull market in history.
Late June brought the “Brexit” surprise to the markets with the United Kingdom’s referendum vote to leave the European Union. However, U.S. equities quickly recovered from their Brexit shock and - buoyed by additional signs of strength in the U.S. economy and a cautious Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) - recorded seven new closing price highs in July and another three in August. In addition, during this time the U.S. stock market registered its least volatile 30-day period (late July thru late August) in more than 20 years.
As U.S. economic growth accelerated in September - U.S. GDP would ultimately show a 3.5% increase for the third quarter (July – September) - investors upended market winners and losers. Rotating out of defensive sectors like telecommunications and utilities - whose dividend-yielding securities were sought out earlier in the year - investors moved into cyclical and growth stocks within the energy, technology and financial sectors. As the markets turned their attention to the November U.S. election, volatility returned. The S&P 500 Index notched a nine-day losing streak in late October and into early November - its longest such slide since 1980 - as investors grew cautious heading into the U.S. election. The S&P 500 Index proceeded to set multiple closing price highs in late November as investors generally cheered the potential pro-growth impacts of deregulation, corporate tax reform and fiscal stimulus anticipated from a Trump presidency, before ending the one-year period at 2,199.

Meanwhile, for bond investors, those potential pro-growth Trump policies and signs of an improving U.S. economy brought an increase in interest rates during the second half of the fiscal year. The resulting price decreases produced mixed returns for fixed income markets. Among major bond indices, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-5 year Treasury Index recorded a total return of 0.86%, as bond coupon income offset a negative price return, while bond coupon income wasn’t enough to compensate for a negative price return for the Bloomberg Barclays 7-year Municipal Bond Index, which turned in a –0.76% total return for the one-year period.
Within U.S. Treasuries, as the chart below shows, after beginning the period at 2.21%, 10-year yields generally declined from the end of December through early February, in part reacting to the same global growth concerns that impacted U.S. equities early on in the period. 10-year Treasuries subsequently made a series of up-and-down movements into June on changing views of inflation expectations, before declining to a new record low of 1.37% in early July following the Brexit vote. While the U.K.’s referendum vote and continued global easy monetary policy had the effect of keeping U.S. Treasury yields in check, from that early-July period low, investors pushed the 10-year Treasury yield through an uneven climb before reaching 1.88% on U.S. election day (November 8, 2016). Yields on 10-year Treasuries jumped almost 20 basis points the following day and subsequently set a period high of 2.37% on November 30, 2016, to close the one-year period, as investors generally welcomed the potential pro-growth impacts anticipated from a Trump administration and digested strong third-quarter U.S. economic data and signs of higher inflation.
Within shorter maturities, 3-month U.S. Treasury yields began December 2015 at 0.22% - 20 basis points higher than they had started the prior-year period - as investors bid those yields higher during the second-half of 2015 in anticipation of a Fed interest rate hike. Consequently, when the Fed did finally initiate a 0.25% rate increase later in December 2015 - its first such increase since 2006 - the immediate change in short-term yields was relatively muted, with 3-month yields bottoming out at a period low of 0.16% on December 31, 2015. After climbing to no higher than 0.36% through the first eight months of the year, 3-month Treasury yields jumped over 30 basis points from mid-September through mid-November, as investors responded to signals from the Fed that it would initiate another rate increase in December 2016. After establishing a period high of 0.55% on November 14, 2016, 3-month Treasury yields settled down to close out the one-year period at 0.48%.4

State Farm Growth Fund Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Growth Fund is managed with a long-term investment orientation. Our investment process is based on a rigorous fundamental analysis of companies. We focus on risk as well as the potential for reward. We look for well managed companies with a business specialty that serves an appropriately-sized market opportunity. We prefer companies with a strong customer focus and a history of prudent financial decisions. We also believe that dividends are an important part of an investment’s total return and therefore prefer companies that pay a regular dividend. While we are conscious of how the Fund’s portfolio differs from its broad-based benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, we do not make decisions based upon the Index.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
Positive factors influencing U.S. markets included a continuing trend of generally subdued inflation, accommodative global central bank policy, generally positive employment gains, and continued growth - albeit modest - in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, continued low interest rates and a strong year in merger-and-acquisition activity also helped drive a rise in some individual stock prices and overall market valuations.
The beginning of the fiscal year, however, was marked by certain challenges. U.S. equity markets, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, delivered their lowest December returns since 2002 (down –1.6%) - and recorded their worst ever 10-day January start (down –7.5%) - as plunging commodity prices and China’s slowing economic growth stoked speculation about a possible global recession. Also, U.S. corporate profits remained constrained early in the year, with the relative strength of the U.S. dollar continuing to provide a headwind for large-cap multi-national companies. Despite this challenging environment, the U.S. economy managed to post a 0.8% increase to GDP during the first quarter (January – March) - its first increase during that particular reporting period in three years.
Supported by pockets of global economic growth, positive U.S. labor reports, improving crude oil fundamentals, and continued easy-money policy support from global central banks, markets rebounded in February and made an upward, albeit irregular march into June.

In addition, during this time the U.S. stock market registered its least volatile 30-day period (late July thru late August) in more than 20 years.
As U.S. economic growth accelerated in September - U.S. GDP would ultimately show a 3.5% increase for the third quarter (July – September) - investors upended market winners and losers. Rotating out of defensive sectors like telecommunications and utilities - whose dividend-yielding securities were sought out earlier in the year - investors moved into cyclical and growth stocks within the energy, technology and financial sectors.

Markets notched a nine-day losing streak in late October and into early November - its longest such slide since 1980 - as investors grew cautious heading into the November 8th vote. However, the markets subsequently ended the fiscal year by setting multiple closing price highs in late November as investors generally cheered the potential pro-growth impacts of deregulation, corporate tax reform, and fiscal stimulus anticipated from a Trump presidency.
In general, commodity prices were volatile throughout the period ended November 30, 2016. Oil prices began the period at around $42/barrel and ranged between approximately $26 to $52/barrel during the year, before ending at around $49/barrel, an increase of approximately 19% for the 12-month period. Gold prices began the period at around $1,066 per troy ounce and ranged between approximately $1,046 and $1,375 per troy ounce, before ending November 2016 at around $1,171/oz., an increase of approximately 10% for the 12-month period.
In currency markets, the U.S. dollar stayed relatively unchanged against the euro, finishing where it began the one-year period at $1.06/euro. Versus the British pound, the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 20% to $1.25/£, with a majority of that gain occurring after the Brexit referendum vote in late June.
The total return for the S&P 500 Index was 8.06% for the 12-month reporting period. The total return reflected a decrease in corporate earnings per share for the S&P 500 Index companies of approximately –2%, an expansion of the price/earnings valuation of the S&P 500 Index of approximately 8%, and a dividend return of approximately 2.1%.

The State Farm Growth Fund’s portfolio turnover rate over the past 12 months was 0.00%. However, during the period Royal Dutch Shell - a company in which the Fund already had a Class A position - acquired BG Group. As a result, the Fund received cash and Class B shares of Royal Dutch Shell in exchange for the Fund’s BG Group shares. Also during the fiscal year, portfolio company Air Products & Chemicals completed a spin-off for which the Fund received shares in Versum Materials.
There were 77 holdings in the Fund totaling approximately $4.3 billion in assets at the end of the reporting period compared to 76 holdings and approximately $4.1 billion in assets one year earlier. As discussed in the Overview, we believe that a company’s dividend policy is an important component in the analysis and selection of securities for the Fund. From December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016, 54 of the stocks in the portfolio, accounting for over 81% of the Fund’s total net assets, increased their dividends in local currency terms.
Given the performance analysis above, what factors should shareholders take into consideration when reviewing the Fund’s performance?
We are long-term investors who spend a lot of time getting to know companies and the people who run them. We seek to understand the company’s long term strategies as well as the competitive advantages and risks inherent in them. When we invest in a company, it is normally our intention to maintain that investment for a very long period of time. Our investment strategy generally is not influenced by short term factors. Our philosophy sometimes will result in periods when the Fund’s performance trails that of the market. We define risk as the permanent loss of investment capital. We believe that our philosophy combined with our views on risk have produced competitive returns versus the benchmark over a long period of time.

State Farm Balanced Fund Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Balanced Fund is invested in a combination of stocks and bonds in the pursuit of long-term growth of principal while providing some current income. The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing under normal market conditions approximately 60% of its total assets in common stocks, and ordinarily limits its common stock investments to no more than 75% of total assets. The Balanced Fund ordinarily invests at least 25% of its total assets in fixed income securities, but for a time may choose to invest as much as 75% of its total assets in fixed income securities, including short-term securities. The equity allocation is managed with a conservative bias that favors large capitalization companies that we believe are well managed with a business specialty. The fixed income component invests in high quality U.S. government and corporate bonds primarily of intermediate maturity and seeks to provide shareowners with current income in addition to some protection from equity market volatility. We tend to maintain a long term investment orientation with both the stock and bond investments in the Fund.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
Positive factors influencing U.S. markets included a continuing trend of generally subdued inflation, accommodative global central bank policy, generally positive employment gains, and continued growth - albeit modest - in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, continued low interest rates and a strong year in merger-and-acquisition activity also helped drive a rise in some individual stock prices and overall market valuations.

In currency markets, the U.S. dollar stayed relatively unchanged against the euro, finishing where it began the one-year period at $1.06/euro. Versus the British pound, the U.S. dollar increased by approximately 20% to $1.25/£, with a majority of that gain occurring after the Brexit referendum vote in late June.

The total return for the S&P 500 Index was 8.06% for the 12-month reporting period. The total return reflected a decrease in corporate earnings per share for the S&P 500 Index companies of approximately –2%, an expansion of the price/earnings valuation of the S&P 500 Index of approximately 8%, and a dividend return of approximately 2.1%.
Bond markets, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index, generated a total return of 1.67% during the 12-month period ended November 30, 2016. The performance of the index was comprised of the Intermediate Credit-portion (40.3% Index weighting), which posted a total return of 2.87%, and the Intermediate Government-portion (59.7% Index weighting), which generated a total return of 0.89%. The total return of the Intermediate Credit-portion was comprised of a price return of –0.52% and a coupon return of 3.39%. Meanwhile, the total return of the Intermediate Government-portion was comprised of a price return of –0.87% and a coupon return of 1.76%.1

Turnover in the equity portion of the State Farm Balanced Fund’s portfolio over the past 12 months was 0.00%. However, during the period Royal Dutch Shell - a company in which the Fund already had a Class A position - acquired BG Group. As a result, the Fund received cash and Class B shares of Royal Dutch Shell in exchange for the Fund’s BG Group shares. Also during the fiscal year, portfolio company Air Products & Chemicals completed a spin-off for which the Fund received shares in Versum Materials.
There were 77 holdings in the equity portion of the Fund totaling approximately $1.1 billion in assets at the end of the reporting period, compared to 76 holdings and approximately $1.0 billion in assets one year earlier. We believe that a company’s dividend policy is an important component in the analysis and selection of securities for the Fund. From December 1, 2015, through November 30, 2016, 54 of the stocks in the portfolio, accounting for over 75% of the equity portion of the Fund’s net assets, increased their dividends in local currency terms.
Fixed Income portion of the Fund (38.69% of total net assets at the end of the period)
An intermediate maturity structure continues to be the Fund’s investment orientation with 71.9% of the fixed income securities (representing 27.81% of total net assets) maturing within 3-11 years. The largest components of the fixed income portion of the Fund were corporate bonds (23.13% of total net assets) and U.S. Treasury securities (11.09% of total net assets). From a credit rating standpoint, 31.6% of the Fund’s fixed income portfolio was rated Aaa, including U.S. Treasury bonds and certain corporate bonds.
12
The remaining corporate fixed income portfolio was invested in Aa-rated bonds (13.7% of fixed income assets), single A-rated debt (35.3% of fixed income assets), Baa-rated bonds (8.4% of fixed income assets) and Ba-rated bonds (0.61% of fixed income assets).2
The Fund’s holdings of U.S. Treasury securities, corporate bonds, agency issues, and agency commercial mortgage backed securities all had positive total returns, helping the Fund generate a positive total return of the fixed income portion over the 12-month period. With a period total return of approximately 2.79%, corporate bonds provided the greatest contribution to the returns of the fixed income portion of the Fund. The Fund’s fixed-income investment orientation of investing in intermediate-term, higher quality bonds helped to provide stability and serve as a buffer to the volatility from the equity portion of the Fund. The duration of the Fund’s bond portfolio at the end of November 2016 stood at 4.5 years, which is up from 4.4 years on December 1, 2015. Duration is a statistical calculation that measures a bond’s (or in this case, a bond portfolio’s) price sensitivity relative to general movements in interest rates.
Given the performance analysis above, what factors should shareholders take into consideration when reviewing the Fund’s performance?
The Fund is designed and managed as a balanced fund that blends both stocks and bonds together in one convenient investment. Given that structure, performance for the Fund over the long term will typically (but not always) fall somewhere in between the return of a stock index like the S&P 500 Index and a bond index like the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index.

State Farm Interim Fund Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Interim Fund is managed in a fashion that seeks to achieve over a period of years, the highest yield consistent with relatively low price volatility. When managing the Fund, we are generally buy-and-hold investors who focus primarily on U.S. Government obligations. General investment practice within the Fund is to distribute the Fund’s investments in varying amounts among securities maturing in up to six or seven years from the time of purchase, but may occasionally purchase securities maturing in up to 15 years.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
Throughout the one-year period ended November 30, 2016, U.S. fixed income markets were impacted by many factors, including: a continuing trend of generally subdued inflation, accommodative global central bank policy, generally positive employment gains, and continued growth - albeit modest - in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
After holding short-term interest rates near zero since 2008, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) initiated a 0.25% rate increase in December 2015. The immediate effect on U.S. fixed income markets, however, was relatively muted, as investors had been anticipating a Fed interest rate hike during the second-half of 2015. In early 2016, plunging commodity prices and China’s slowing economic growth stoked speculation about a possible global recession. Consequently, the European Central Bank and other major foreign central banks continued or even increased their existing monetary stimulus measures. This quantitative easing activity - as well as the June “Brexit” surprise of the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) referendum vote to leave the European Union - helped move government bond yields in Germany, Japan, the U.K. and elsewhere to all-time lows.
As a result, foreign investors maintained their strong demand for U.S. fixed income issuances into the second half of the period as they sought relatively higher yields. In early July, U.S. Treasury yields charted new record lows due, in part, to this increased foreign demand. However, signs of accelerating U.S. economic growth - U.S. GDP would ultimately show a 3.5% increase for the third quarter (July – September) - would make those record lows short-lived. The improving U.S. economy, combined with the potential pro-growth policies anticipated from a Donald Trump administration, brought an increase in interest rates during the latter half of the fiscal year.
Reviewing the chart below, 2-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields generally declined from the end of December 2015 through early February, reacting to the early-period global growth concerns. Those particular Treasury yields subsequently made a series of up-and-down movements into June on changing views of inflation expectations, before declining in early July following the Brexit vote. While the U.K.’s referendum vote and continued global easy monetary policy had the effect of keeping U.S. Treasury yields in check, from those early-July period lows, investors pushed the 2-year and 10-year yields through uneven climbs through the U.S. election day (November 8, 2016). Those Treasury yields jumped the following day and subsequently set period highs later in November, as investors generally welcomed the potential pro-growth impacts anticipated from a Trump presidency and digested strong third-quarter U.S. economic data and signs of higher inflation. For the one-year period, after starting at 2.21%, 10-year yields set a new record low of 1.37% in early July before reaching a period high of 2.37% on November 30, 2016, to close out the fiscal year. Two-year U.S. Treasury yields began December 2015 at 0.94%, realized a period low of 0.56% in July and period high of 1.12% in November, and finished the one-year period at 1.11%.1

14
Within shorter maturities, 3-month U.S. Treasury yields began December 2015 at 0.22%. After climbing to no higher than 0.36% through the first eight months of the year, 3-month yields jumped from 0.18% in mid-September to a period high of 0.55% by mid-November as investors responded to signals from the Fed that it would initiate another rate increase in December 2016. Three-month Treasury yields settled down to close out the one-year period at 0.48%.

Overall, longer-maturity U.S. Treasuries outperformed relative to short- and intermediate-maturity U.S. Treasuries. For the one-year period, the total return for the Bloomberg Barclays 20+ year U.S. Treasuries was 2.01%, compared with 0.74% and 0.89% for the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 year U.S. Treasuries and Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate-maturity U.S. Treasuries, respectively.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?
For the one-year period ended November 30, 2016, the State Farm Interim Fund had a total return of 0.45% after expenses, compared to a total return of 0.86% for the Bloomberg Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index. The line graph below provides additional perspective on the Fund’s long term results.

Performance Analysis
What factors helped and hindered performance during the reporting period?
Maturities of all lengths of U.S. Treasury Notes provided positive total returns for the one-year period. Relative to its benchmark, the Fund’s purchase of bonds with maturities of greater than five years when rates were relatively lower during the period, combined with fund expenses, contributed to the Fund’s total return underperforming its benchmark by 0.41%. As mentioned earlier, the Fund generally maintains exposure across a six-year maturity spectrum. As U.S. Treasury Notes mature, they are reinvested in U.S. Treasury Notes at prevailing interest rate levels.
The duration of the Fund at the end of November 2016 stood at 2.7 years, which is up from 2.5 years on December 1, 2015. The Fund’s duration was lower than the duration of its benchmark (the Bloomberg Barclays 1-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index) of 2.8 years as of November 30, 2016. Duration is a statistical calculation that measures a bond’s (or in this case, a bond fund’s) price sensitivity relative to general movements in interest rates.
Given the performance analysis above, what factors should shareholders take into consideration when reviewing the Fund’s performance?
Given its investment objective of current income consistent with low price volatility, the Fund is designed to be a stable, low risk element of a diversified portfolio. Generally, as interest rates rise, bond prices decline and vice versa. If interest rates increase, total returns (interest plus price gains) may decrease. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, total returns may increase.

State Farm Municipal Bond Fund Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (unaudited)
Overview
Describe the Fund’s investment objective and philosophy.
The State Farm Municipal Bond Fund seeks as high a rate of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management. Income may be subject to state and local taxes and, if applicable, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). In managing the Fund, we focus on high credit quality bonds with an investment philosophy that seeks to provide competitive total returns, while managing for tax efficiency within the municipal bond asset class over the long run. The municipal bond market, while relatively small in total assets compared to the taxable market, is very broad by number of issuers. As a result, we believe that fundamental research and professional management are critical to success. While we seek to diversify the maturity spectrum of the bonds within the portfolio, we tend to favor the intermediate-maturity range for the bulk of the Fund’s assets. The Fund also seeks to remain invested mainly in bonds of high-credit quality in an attempt to reduce the risk of loss to investment principal as a result of credit losses.
In selecting securities for the Fund, we generally invest in the 5-15 year maturity range and avoid long maturities. While we are conscious of how the Fund’s portfolio differs from its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index, we do not make decisions based upon the Index.
Describe the relevant market environment as it related to the Fund for the reporting period.
Throughout the one-year period ended November 30, 2016, U.S. fixed income markets were impacted by many factors, including: a continuing trend of generally subdued inflation, accommodative global central bank policy, generally positive employment gains, and continued growth - albeit modest - in U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This quantitative easing activity - as well as the June “Brexit” surprise of the United Kingdom’s (U.K.) referendum vote to leave the European Union - helped move government bond yields in Germany, Japan, the U.K. and elsewhere to all-time lows.

As illustrated in Table 1 below, the municipal bond yield curve flattened slightly as short- and intermediate-maturity yields increased more than longer-maturity yields - both on an absolute and relative basis - over the one-year period ended November 30, 2016.

As illustrated in Table 2 below, except for the one-year and long-bond components, annual total returns (as of November 30, 2016) for all other segments of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index were negative, with higher returns along the longer- and shorter-ends of the maturity yield curve. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is used to illustrate returns for municipal bonds having various maturities. The Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index is not used to illustrate this point because the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index only includes municipal bonds with maturities between 6 and 8 years.

As of November 30, 2016, the 3.12% yield on 20-year Aaa-rated municipal bonds was greater than the 2.73% yield offered on comparable 20-year taxable U.S. Treasuries, which is not a normal yield spread relationship. Historically, long-term municipal bonds have offered approximately 75% to 90% of the yields available on comparable U.S. Treasuries because of the income tax benefits associated with municipal bonds. This yield comparison has been typically used as a general gauge within the industry to determine the relative attractiveness of municipal securities.

Performance Analysis
What factors helped and hindered performance during the reporting period?
The Fund produced a negative total return for the one-year period. As illustrated in Table 2 above, longer- and shorter-maturity bonds outperformed intermediate maturities over the fiscal year. Consistent with the Fund’s intermediate-maturity orientation, none of the Fund’s total investments were in bonds having maturities over 22 years as of November 30, 2016. During the period, bonds having maturities of over 12 years and bonds having maturities of up to six years outperformed relative to bonds having maturities between 6-12 years. Relative to the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index, the Fund had a higher concentration in those bonds having maturities of up to six years and in bonds having maturities of over 12 years, while the Fund had a lower concentration in those bonds having maturities between 6-12 years, which played a part in the Fund outperforming the Index during the reporting period.
We seek to maintain the risk profile of the Fund with respect to duration, interest rate risk and credit risk. Throughout the reporting period, the Fund’s modified duration increased from 3.89 years as of December 1, 2015 to 4.33 years as of November 30, 2016. Modified duration is a statistical calculation that measures a bond’s (or in this case, a bond fund’s) price sensitivity relative to general movements in interest rates. The Fund maintained a high quality credit orientation consistent with the Fund’s historical investment philosophy throughout the reporting period ended November 30, 2016.
Table 4 below provides an illustration of the Fund’s credit quality orientation compared to the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index as of November 30, 2016. Over the reporting period, the lower end of investment-grade quality municipal bonds (A and Baa rated bonds) outperformed relative to higher investment-grade quality municipal bonds (Aa and Aaa rated bonds) as previously illustrated in Table 3 above.

As highlighted earlier, the difference in maturity structure between the Fund and the Bloomberg Barclays 7-Year Municipal Bond Index played a role in the Fund outperforming its benchmark during the period.
The objective of the Fund is to seek as high a rate of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management. The Fund has been invested with a bias towards high-credit quality, intermediate maturity bonds. Adopting additional risk by increasing duration significantly and/or increasing the weighting in lower-credit quality bonds would not have been consistent with the Fund’s investment philosophy.
The number of individual bonds held in the portfolio over the reporting period increased by 69, from 455 to 524 bonds. Turnover for the reporting period was 6.87%. Investments within the state of Washington represented the largest single allocation in any state representing 6.02% of total net assets, which is up from 5.70% from the beginning of the reporting period.
The largest additions to the portfolio included net acquisitions of bonds in Connecticut, followed by California and Iowa. Bonds secured by a general obligation pledge accounted for approximately 69% of all new acquisitions with revenue bond purchases representing 31% of the total. The average ratings quality of new bond purchases was Aa1/AA+. The Aa1 rating is a subset of Moody’s Aa rating and AA+ is a subset of Standard and Poor’s AA rating. The largest net reduction of holdings occurred through maturities of bonds in Mississippi, followed by New Hampshire.
Given the performance analysis above, what factors should shareholders take into consideration when reviewing the Fund’s performance?
The Fund seeks a high level of income exempt from federal income tax through investment in a diversified portfolio of high quality bonds. We utilize a long-term philosophy, seeking to provide competitive total returns relative to the municipal bond asset class while managing for tax efficiency.
Generally, as interest rates rise, bond prices decline and vice versa. If interest rates increase, total returns (interest plus price gains) may decrease. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, total returns may increase.

Expense Example (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The Example in the following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as stated in the table below.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund name in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value for a Fund 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 line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for the applicable Fund to estimate the expenses you paid on your account for that Fund during this period. If your account has multiple Fund positions, add up the results calculated for each Fund position within your account to estimate the expenses you paid on your total account value. A potential account fee of $10 per calendar quarter is not included in the expenses shown in the table. This fee will be charged to an account (other than a SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Archer Medical Savings Account, Tax Sheltered Account under §403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code or an account held under other employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans) if the balance in the account falls below $5,000 at the close of business on the second business day of the last month of the calendar quarter, unless the account has been open for less than a year as of the second business day of the last month of the calendar quarter. You should consider any account fee you incurred when estimating the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of this fee on your ending account value. This additional fee has the effect of reducing investment returns.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under each Fund name in 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. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and 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. A potential account fee of $10 per calendar quarter is not included in the expenses shown in the table. This fee will be charged to an account (other than a SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, Archer Medical Savings Account, Tax Sheltered Account under §403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code or an account held under other employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans) if the balance in the account falls below $5,000 at the close of business on the second business day of the last month of the calendar quarter, unless the account has been open for less than a year as of the second business day of the last month of the calendar quarter. You should consider any account fee that you incurred when estimating the total ongoing expenses paid over the period and the impact of this fee on your ending account value. This additional fee has the effect of increasing the costs of investing.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line under each Fund name in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds, including those that have transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (unaudited)
At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust (“Associates’ Funds Trust”) held on June 17, 2016, all of the Trustees present, including those Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined by Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), of Associates’ Funds Trust, approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory and Management Services Agreement between State Farm Investment Management Corp. (“SFIMC”) and Associates’ Funds Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”) for an additional one-year term ending June 30, 2017.
In considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Independent Trustees were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel, which had sent to SFIMC, on behalf of the Independent Trustees, a request for information to be provided to the Independent Trustees prior to the Board’s consideration of the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. SFIMC provided materials to the Independent Trustees responding to that request, including a fund-by-fund profitability analysis on each series of the Associates’ Funds Trust (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), as well as an explanation of the methodology by which SFIMC had calculated that profitability.
At the Board’s request, SFIMC also provided the Board with additional information that the Board believed would be useful to the Board in evaluating whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement. In advance of the June 17th meeting, the Board also received a report prepared by Strategic Insight, an independent fund tracking organization (the “Strategic Insight Report”), relating to the performance and expenses of each Fund. The Strategic Insight Report included information on the relative performance of each Fund as compared to a benchmark index and to a category of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Morningstar®, an independent third-party service provider (each, a “Morningstar Category”). Morningstar assigns each Fund to a category based upon the underlying securities held in the Fund’s portfolio over the past three years.
In addition, the Board received and reviewed a memorandum from the legal counsel to Associates’ Funds Trust and its Independent Trustees regarding the Board members’ responsibilities (particularly the Independent Trustees’ responsibilities) in considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement.
The Independent Trustees of Associates’ Funds Trust also reviewed these materials at meetings held on March 18, 2016 and May 24, 2016, during which SFIMC management responded to specific questions from the Independent Trustees and provided follow-up information. The Board also considered information it received throughout the year relating to the Funds. The Independent Trustees discussed all of this material extensively in separate meetings among themselves, with their independent legal counsel and with the other Board members, after which the Board considered the various factors described below, none of which alone was considered dispositive. However, the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s determination to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement are discussed separately below.
Investment Performance
The Board considered the investment performance of each Fund. Among other things, the Board examined the year-to-date, one-, three-, five- and ten-year performance of each Fund as of March 31, 2016 compared to the performance of each Fund’s benchmark index and compared to the performance median of each Fund’s Morningstar Category during those same periods.
The Board considered that although the Growth Fund’s performance compared to its Morningstar Category over the five-year period lagged, the Growth Fund’s performance over the one- and ten-year periods was in line with the performance of its Morningstar Category. The Board further took into account SFIMC’s explanation that the underperformance of the Growth Fund over the five-year time period was due to SFIMC’s conservative investment management of this Fund such that, as a result, the Fund generally will tend to underperform its benchmark and Morningstar Category in periods of strong market performance or periods in which increased risk is rewarded, such as the period of 2012 through 2014. Conversely, SFIMC explained to the Board that the Growth Fund tends to outperform its benchmark and Morningstar Category during flat and down markets. The Board noted SFIMC’s belief that over long-term market cycles, this conservative investment approach generally has provided competitive investment performance with a lower-risk profile for the Growth Fund.
The Board considered the performance of the Balanced Fund compared to its Morningstar Category, noting that it had ranked in the top quartile of its Morningstar Category for the one-, three- and five-year periods. It also noted that the Balanced Fund outperformed its benchmark for all periods examined except the five- and ten-year periods. The Board considered SFIMC’s explanation that the equity securities held by the Balanced Fund had risk and performance characteristics similar to those of the equity securities held by the Growth Fund. Therefore, SFIMC’s explanation of the relative performance of the Growth Fund helped the Board to understand the Balanced Fund’s relative performance.
The Board also considered the performance of the Interim and Municipal Bond Funds compared to each Fund’s Morningstar Category. It noted that the Interim Fund had ranked in the top quartile of its Morningstar Category for the one-, three- and five-year periods, and it also noted the outperformance of the Municipal Bond Fund for the one-, three- and ten-year periods compared to that Fund’s
22
Morningstar Category. The Board then considered SFIMC’s assertion that the Funds are managed with a low-risk profile and that they have provided long-term consistent returns.
After extensive discussion of this and other performance information related to the Funds, the Board concluded that the investment performance of the Funds over the periods reviewed was acceptable.
Fees and Expenses
The Board examined the fee structure and expense ratio of each Fund, including in comparison to the fee structures and expense ratios of a peer group of funds with comparable investment objectives, investment strategies, asset size and no-load structures as compiled by Strategic Insight. The Board evaluated the relative rankings of each Fund’s net total, net management and net operating expenses within that group of peer funds. The Board also took note that SFIMC did not manage any institutional clients, and that it only manages the Funds and the assets of other State Farm-sponsored mutual funds. In connection with examining the fee structure and expense ratio of each Fund, the Board considered the amount of profits earned (or losses incurred) by SFIMC in providing advisory and management services to each Fund, as well as the methodology by which that profit (or loss) was calculated.
The Board considered SFIMC’s view that the Funds’ expenses are extremely competitive and among the lowest of their peers. In reviewing the Strategic Insight Report, the Board considered that each Fund ranked in the top quarter of its expense group, and that its net total expense, net management fee and net operating expense each were lower than the expense group median. After extensive discussion, the Board concluded that each Fund’s expense structure and overall fees were acceptable.
Economies of Scale
When reviewing the Funds’ fees, the Board also discussed the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as each Fund grows and whether each Fund’s fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund. Economies of scale occur when a mutual fund’s expenses per unit, such as per dollar invested in the fund, decrease as the fund increases in size. The Board considered that the Advisory Agreement includes breakpoints for each Fund, which can lead to economies of scale for Fund shareholders as assets increase.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the advisory services provided by SFIMC to the Funds. The Board considered the general reputation, financial resources, and business activities of SFIMC, as well as the make-up, education and experience of the SFIMC investment management teams responsible for managing the Funds, and concluded that these teams have a satisfactory, long-term track record in managing the Funds. The Board also considered the compliance environment of the Funds, and SFIMC’s management of that environment, including the view of the Associates’ Funds Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer that the compliance policies and procedures of SFIMC were reasonably designed to monitor, detect and prevent violations of the federal securities laws. After considering this information, the Board concluded that SFIMC had more than sufficient resources and expertise to capably continue to manage the Funds, and that given the past experience, SMFIC should be able to continue to provide satisfactory services to Associates’ Funds Trust.
Fallout Benefits
The Board next discussed whether SFIMC derives any other direct or indirect benefits from serving as investment adviser to the Funds. SFIMC discussed the various ancillary services that it provides the Funds, including serving as transfer agent, and its affiliate, State Farm VP Management Corp., serving as the Funds’ distributor. SFIMC explained to the Board that, in exchange for providing transfer agency services, SFIMC receives proceeds from the account fee imposed on shareholders of Associates’ Funds Trust. Management also explained that State Farm VP Management Corp. receives no fees from Associates’ Funds Trust for providing distribution services. SFIMC indicated to the Board that it was not aware of any other ancillary or other benefits that SFIMC (and its affiliates) receive from Associates’ Funds Trust, particularly because SFIMC does not execute securities trades on behalf of the Funds through an affiliated broker-dealer. The Board concluded that the lack of any material ancillary, or so-called “fallout,” benefits enables SFIMC to manage assets of the Funds in a manner that appears to be free of conflicts of interest.
Conclusion
Based on the Trustees’ extensive deliberations on the above factors and their evaluation of all of the information provided by SFIMC, Morningstar and Strategic Insight, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees voting separately, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for all the Funds through June 30, 2017.

STATE FARM ASSOCIATES’ FUNDS TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust (the “Trust”) has four separate investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, management investment company. Each Fund has its own investment objective, investment policies, restrictions, and attendant risks and is diversified as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. Each Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies.” State Farm Investment Management Corp. (“SFIMC”) is the Trust’s investment adviser.
The State Farm Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) seeks long-term growth of capital which may be supplemented by income. The Growth Fund seeks to achieve this objective by investing under normal circumstances at least 80% of its assets in common stocks and other income producing equity securities.
The State Farm Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”) seeks long-term growth of principal while providing some current income. The Balanced Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing under normal market conditions approximately 60% of its total assets in common stocks, and ordinarily limits its common stock investments to no more than 75% of its total assets. The Balanced Fund ordinarily invests at least 25% of its total assets in fixed income securities. The Balanced Fund invests in bonds to provide relative stability of principal and income.
The State Farm Interim Fund (the “Interim Fund”) seeks the realization over a period of years of the highest yield consistent with relatively low price volatility. The Interim Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through investment in high quality debt securities with short and intermediate-term maturities.
The State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (the “Municipal Bond Fund”) seeks as high a rate of income exempt from federal income taxes as is consistent with prudent investment management. The Municipal Bond Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective through investment primarily in a diversified selection of municipal bonds (for example, general obligation bonds of a state or bonds financing a specific project) with maturities of one to seventeen years, although from time to time SFIMC may purchase issues with longer maturities. The Municipal Bond Fund normally invests so that either (1) at least 80% of the Fund’s net investment income is exempt from regular federal income tax or (2) at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets are invested in securities that produce income exempt from regular federal income tax.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Fund Share Valuation
Fund shares are sold and redeemed on a continuous basis at net asset value. The net asset value per share is determined daily on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open. The net asset value for each Fund is determined as of the close of regular session trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 3:00 p.m. Central Time). The net asset value per share is computed by dividing the total value of a Fund’s investments and other assets, less liabilities, by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
Securities Valuation
All investments in securities are recorded at their fair value. For more information see Note 3 Securities Valuation.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income
For financial reporting purposes, security transactions are accounted for on trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, and includes amortization of premiums and discounts on fixed income securities. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis.
Expenses
Expenses arising in connection with a specific Fund are allocated to that Fund. Common Trust expenses are allocated between the Funds in proportion to each Fund’s relative net assets.
Income Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and, in the manner provided therein, to distribute substantially all of their taxable income, including any net realized gain on sales of investments, reportable for federal income tax purposes.
For more information refer to Note 4 Income Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders.

STATE FARM ASSOCIATES’ FUNDS TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Foreign Currency Translation
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing foreign exchange rates at November 30, 2016. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing foreign exchange rates on the respective dates of transactions. That portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with realized and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts on behalf of the Funds that may contain provisions for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these indemnification provisions is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that are not known at this time. However, based on experience, the Funds believe the risk of loss from these indemnification provisions is remote.
Securities Purchased on a “When-Issued” Basis
The Municipal Bond Fund may purchase municipal bonds on a “when-issued” basis. Delivery and payment for these securities may be a month or more after the purchase date, during which time such securities are subject to market fluctuations. The Municipal Bond Fund identifies and holds specific liquid assets with a market value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued purchase commitments in order to ensure that it can meet those commitments. It is possible that the securities will never be issued and the commitment cancelled. At November 30, 2016, the Municipal Bond Fund had commitments of $27,323,621 (representing 3.88% of net assets) for when-issued securities.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amendments to modernize reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. Amendments to Regulation S-X include standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements and changes to rules governing the form and content of such financial statements. The amendments to Regulation S-X are effective August 1, 2017. At this time, management is evaluating the impact these Regulation S-X amendments may have on the Trust’s financial statements, if any.
Investments are valued at fair value pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The valuation procedures assign to SFIMC the responsibility for determining fair value using the processes and factors as outlined in the valuation procedures. If SFIMC cannot determine fair value based on the valuation procedures, the Board or the Executive Committee of the Board will determine fair value.
Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-tier hierarchy is used to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three broad levels as follows:
| • | | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to the Funds for identical assets or liabilities. |
| • | | Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, interest rates, yield curves and credit spreads. For assets or liabilities with a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
| • | | Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available. These inputs, based on the best information available in the circumstances, would include reasonably available information about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability and might include SFIMC’s own data. |
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those cases, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. The end of the reporting period method is used for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred.

STATE FARM ASSOCIATES’ FUNDS TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
Stocks, closed-end registered investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) traded on securities exchanges, or in an over-the-counter (“OTC”) market in which transaction prices are reported, are valued at the last sales price on the day of valuation or, if there are no reported sales on that day, at the last reported bid price for the day. Stocks traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Long-term debt securities and U.S. Treasury bills are generally valued using quotations provided by an independent pricing service. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less (other than U.S. Treasury bills) are generally valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued each day based on the closing net asset value of the respective fund. Short sales, if any, are valued at market value.
Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges (“foreign securities”) are valued at the closing values of such securities on the respective exchange where each security is primarily traded. SFIMC may determine that a market quotation for a foreign security held by a Fund is not reliable because of events or circumstances that have occurred between the time of the market quotation and the time the net asset value of the Fund is calculated (“subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include company-specific developments, a development that might affect an entire market or region, a potential global development or a significant change in one or more U.S. securities indexes. If SFIMC determines that the market quotation for a foreign security is not reliable, SFIMC may determine the foreign security’s value in SFIMC’s reasonable judgment.
For securities other than foreign securities, for which market prices are not readily available or are considered unreliable, SFIMC is required to obtain bid price quotations from brokers or dealers in the securities. If SFIMC cannot obtain a quotation for the security or if SFIMC believes the quotation does not represent the security’s fair value, then SFIMC will determine the security’s value in SFIMC’s reasonable judgment.
In determining a value based on reasonable judgment, SFIMC may use different methodologies, including multiple of earnings, multiple of book value, discount from market of a similar freely traded security or, for debt securities, yield to maturity. Other factors SFIMC may consider in determining value for a security include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the security, the last traded price of the security, significant global or regional events such as political unrest, natural disasters, and war, and significant movements in major market indices, ETFs, index futures or other financial instruments in the U.S. or other markets. All securities valued based on SFIMC’s reasonable judgment are subsequently reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.
SFIMC reviews the pricing methodologies of the Funds’ approved pricing vendors, including understanding a vendor’s key inputs and assumptions in valuing securities. SFIMC also engages in transaction back-testing with respect to portfolio securities sold by the Funds to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses.

4. | Income Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders |
As of November 30, 2016, the Trust’s management completed a review of uncertain tax positions taken by the Funds, if any, and determined that no tax liability was required for unrecognized tax benefits, and no additional disclosures were needed. Generally, the tax authorities can initiate examinations of tax returns within the three year period beginning on the date such returns are filed. As a result, some tax returns are still open and subject to examination. In addition, as of November 30, 2016, management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
As of November 30, 2016, each Fund’s aggregate securities holdings’ unrealized gains and losses based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Cost of Investments for Federal Tax Purposes | | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | | Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | |
Growth Fund | | $ | 1,608,394,694 | | | $ | 2,704,377,019 | | | $ | (33,608,232 | ) | | $ | 2,670,768,787 | |
Balanced Fund | | | 1,090,843,445 | | | | 686,822,921 | | | | (18,936,059 | ) | | | 667,886,862 | |
Interim Fund | | | 396,442,564 | | | | 981,046 | | | | (3,128,247 | ) | | | (2,147,201 | ) |
Municipal Bond Fund | | | 712,691,430 | | | | 19,001,468 | | | | (9,033,881 | ) | | | 9,967,587 | |
|
For each Fund, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost of investments reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Schedules of Investments. | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
The Growth Fund and Balanced Fund declare and pay income dividends, if any, at least annually. The Interim Fund and Municipal Bond Fund declare dividends daily equal to each Fund’s respective net investment income, and distributions of such amounts are made on the last business day of each month.
Net realized gains on sales of investments, if any, are distributed annually after the close of the Fund’s fiscal year. Dividends and distributions payable to shareholders are recorded by the respective Fund on the ex-dividend date.
On December 19, 2016, the Growth Fund declared an ordinary income dividend of $0.88219 per share and a capital gain dividend of $0.56284 per share to shareholders of record on December 16, 2016 (reinvestment date December 19, 2016).
On December 19, 2016, the Balanced Fund declared an ordinary income dividend of $0.83458 per share and a capital gain dividend of $0.12415 per share to shareholders of record on December 16, 2016 (reinvestment date December 19, 2016).
After utilizing capital loss carryforwards to offset realized capital gains during the year ended November 30, 2016, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to be applied against future capital gains realized after November 30, 2016, if any. Future capital loss carryforward utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. If not applied, the capital losses will carryforward indefinitely as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Unused Non Expiring Capital Loss Carryforwards | |
Fund | | Loss Carryforwards Utilized in 2016 | | Short-term | | | Long-term | | | Total | |
Interim Fund | | — | | | — | | | | 382,676 | | | | 382,676 | |
Municipal Bond Fund | | — | | | 204,358 | | | | 123,626 | | | | 327,984 | |
As of November 30, 2016, in accordance with federal tax regulations, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Undistributed | | | Undistributed | | | Unrealized | | | Accumulated | | | | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-term Gain | | | Appreciation (Depreciation) | | | Capital and Other Losses | | | Total | |
Growth Fund | | $ | 49,593,030 | | | $ | 34,371,546 | | | $ | 2,670,760,595 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 2,754,725,171 | |
Balanced Fund | | | 20,455,803 | | | | 3,463,102 | | | | 667,882,619 | | | | — | | | | 691,801,524 | |
Interim Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | (2,147,201 | ) | | | (382,676 | ) | | | (2,529,877 | ) |
Municipal Bond Fund | | | — | | | | — | | | | 9,967,587 | | | | (327,984 | ) | | | 9,639,603 | |
The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to the recognition of net realized losses, the timing of Fund distributions, expiring capital loss carryforwards, and foreign currency transactions. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain or loss on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ from distributions during such period. Accordingly, each Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain capital accounts without impacting its net asset value.
As of November 30, 2016, these reclassifications were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Paid in Capital | | | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) | | | Accumulated Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | |
Growth Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 180,123 | | | $ | (180,123 | ) |
Balanced Fund | | | — | | | | 12,422 | | | | (12,422 | ) |

Expense Reduction Agreement
SFIMC has agreed to reimburse a Fund if, and to the extent, a Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary litigation expenses, brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) exceed 0.40% of the Fund’s average net assets. Prior-year reimbursements, if any, are not subject to recapture.
Line of Credit
State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company (“Auto Company”), the parent company of SFIMC, has entered into a Line of Credit Agreement with the Trust. Under that agreement, a Fund may request and Auto Company, in its complete discretion, may lend money to a Fund for up to 30 days on an unsecured basis. Auto Company will not lend more than $50 million at any one time to the Funds and to the other mutual funds advised by SFIMC. Under the agreement, a Fund will pay interest to Auto Company on any outstanding loan at a benchmark interest rate that approximates the rate that creditworthy corporate issuers pay on short-term commercial paper. The Funds did not borrow under the Line of Credit Agreement during the year ended November 30, 2016.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of the State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of State Farm Growth Fund, State Farm Balanced Fund, State Farm Interim Fund and State Farm Municipal Bond Fund (four funds comprising the State Farm Associates’ Funds Trust, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”), as of November 30, 2016, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at November 30, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
