Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. For performance data current to most recent month-end go to www.rbcgam.us.

 

The Barclays U.S. Securitized Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, investment-grade bonds and asset-backed securities.

 

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that tracks the performance of a representative list of government, corporate, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities.

 

(a) The inception date for Class A shares of the Fund is January 29, 2009. All performance shown for such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class I shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class A shares, as applicable.

 

(b) Class I commenced operations on July 28, 2008. The performance in the table reflects the performance of Access Capital Strategies Community Investment Fund, Inc., the predecessor to the Fund. From its inception, June 23, 1998, until May 30, 2006, the predecessor fund elected status as a business development company. From May 31, 2006 until July 27, 2008, the predecessor fund operated as a continuously offered closed-end interval management company. If the predecessor fund had operated as an open-end management company, performance may have been adversely affected. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower.

 

(c) You cannot invest directly into the index.

 

*   The Fund’s expenses reflect the most recent year end (September 30, 2014).

         The graph reflects an initial investment of $10,000 over a 10 year period and is based on Class I shares. The Fund’s total return includes reinvested dividends and capital gains. The Fund’s total return also includes operating expenses that reduce return, while the total return of the index does not. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Performance of other classes will vary due to differences in fee structures.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

1. Organization:

RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 23 portfolios. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This report includes the Access Capital Community Investment Fund (the “Fund”). At its inception in 1998, the Access Capital Strategies Community Investment Fund, Inc., the Fund’s predecessor, elected status as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), but withdrew its election on May 30, 2006, and registered as a continuously offered, closed-end interval management company under the 1940 Act. The predecessor fund was reorganized into a series of the Trust, a registered open-end management company under the 1940 Act, effective July 28, 2008.

The Fund offers two share classes: Class A and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with a 3.75% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)” or “Advisor” or “Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Fund. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates.

The Fund’s investment objective is to invest in geographically specific debt securities located in portions of the United States designated by Fund investors. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in high quality debt securities and other debt instruments supporting the affordable housing industry in areas of the United States designated by Fund shareholders. The Fund’s investments generally support community development, for example by supporting job creation or local business development.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation:

The Board has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Fixed income securities, including to be announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.

Mortgage-related securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property and include pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. These securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities, or private issuers, including commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance bankers and other secondary market issuers. These mortgage-related securities are generally valued by pricing services that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from

 

32


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

their internal pricing models. These pricing models generally consider such factors as current market data, estimated cash flows, market-based yield spreads, and estimated prepayment rates. Securities valued using such techniques and inputs are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. To the extent significant inputs are unobservable, the securities will be categorized as Level 3.

Exchange-traded futures are valued at the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Board has delegated to the Fund’s Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Fund’s securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Fund’s Advisor and Co-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management, compliance and legal. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Fund’s pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.

The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker-dealer or Fund management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.

When the Fund utilizes fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Fund’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Fund cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Fund could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Fund may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

The Fund’s Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Fund’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Fund discloses the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment speeds, etc.

• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 3 category were valued using the valuation methodology and technique deemed most appropriate in the circumstances. The significant unobservable inputs used include assumptions regarding the particular security’s cash flow profile, prepayments and potential defaults which may not be generally observable for either the security or for assets of a similar type. Inputs with respect to variable rate securities may also include assumptions regarding future interest rate changes. Significant changes in any of these assumptions may result in a lower or higher fair value measurement.

Financial Instruments:

Reverse Repurchase Agreements:

To obtain short-term financing, the Fund entered into reverse repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks, who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a segregated account with the custodian containing qualifying assets having a value, including accrued interest, not less than the repurchase price. Based on requirements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Fund may also be required to deliver or deposit securities or cash as collateral. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the average amount borrowed was approximately $79,743,648 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 0.32%.

Reverse repurchase transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”), which permit the Fund, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. With reverse repurchase transactions, typically the Fund and the counterparties are permitted to sell, re-pledge, or use the collateral associated with the transaction. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Fund receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received or paid by the Fund upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency

of the MRA counterparty, the Fund is considered an unsecured creditor with respect to excess collateral and, as such, the return of excess collateral may be delayed.

In the event the buyer of securities under a MRA files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Fund’s use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted while the other party, or its trustee or receiver, determines whether or not to enforce the Fund’s obligation to repurchase the securities.

Derivatives:

The Fund may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities for hedging purposes only. Derivatives allow the Fund to manage its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund’s returns.

Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below. For open derivative instruments as of March 31, 2015, see the following section for financial futures contracts.

Financial Futures Contracts:

The Fund entered into futures contracts in an effort to manage both the duration of the portfolio and hedge against certain market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying instrument. A Fund would record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to these daily payments.

Open futures contracts are shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Underlying collateral pledged for open futures contracts is the cash at brokers shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2015.

Counterparty Credit Risk:

Derivatives may also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations). To the extent amounts due to the Fund from their counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Fund.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk in over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Fund.

With exchange-traded futures, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

TBA Commitments:

The Fund may enter into TBA commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased/sold declines/increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”. As of March 31, 2015, the Fund had outstanding TBA commitments which are shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Mortgage Backed Securities:

Because the Fund will focus on community development investments, such as securities backed by commercial and/or residential mortgage loans, it will be affected by risks not typically associated with funds that do not specialize in community development investments. These risks include credit and

prepayment risk and risk due to default on underlying loans within a security. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults or assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

In addition, the Fund invests in certain mortgage backed securities that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 (“CRA”) in which the Fund may pay a premium for the geographically or other targeted nature of the securities. There can be no guarantee, however, that a similar premium will be received if the security is sold by the Fund.

Credit Enhancement:

Certain obligations held in the Fund have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements; and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC).

Investment Transactions and Income:

Investment transactions are recorded one business day after trade date, except on the last day of each fiscal quarter end, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization and accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage and asset-backed securities are included in the financial statements as interest income.

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

The Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated to the Fund either proportionately based upon the Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within the Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within the Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon the proportion of relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders:

The Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid to a redeeming shareholder at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gain distributions are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., reclassification of paydown gains and losses, and expiring capital loss carryforward), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital account based on their federal tax basis treatment.

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

RBC GAM (US) serves as investment advisor to the Fund and has agreed to waive or limit fees through January 31, 2016, to maintain expenses (excluding interest expense, management fees and distribution fees) at 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by the Advisor, any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay the Advisor such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation disclosed in the effective prospectus. At March 31, 2015, the amount subject to possible recoupment under the

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

expense limitation agreement is $6,421. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, no reimbursements were made to the Advisor.

Under the terms of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor receives from the Fund an annual management fee, paid monthly, of 50 basis points (0.50%) of the Fund’s daily average net assets.

The Trust currently pays each of the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the Advisor, either Co-Administrator or Distributor) an annual retainer of $41,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,500 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,500 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended, and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

 

 

4. Fund Distribution:

The Fund has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s distributor. The Plan permits the Fund to make payments for, or to reimburse the Distributor for, distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of Class A covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The Plan does not apply to Class I. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for Class A.

   0.25%*

* Under the 12b-1 plan, the maximum fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. Currently the Board of Trustees has approved an annual limit of 0.25%.

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive the Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, there were no fees waived by the Distributor.

7. Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of the Fund.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2015, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was as follows:

 

Tax
Cost of

     Securities     

Unrealized
Appreciation

Unrealized
Depreciation

Net Unrealized

 Appreciation 

$ 565,002,928    $25,203,251    $(3,462,730)    $21,740,521

The tax characters of distributions were as follows:

 

     Distributions Paid From  
     Ordinary

     Total
Distributions

For the year ended September 30, 2014

   $ 18,476,222       $ 18,476,222   

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and the tax character of distributions paid are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included the Annual Report dated September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2014, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes as follows:

 

Capital Loss

Carryforward

  

Expires

$  2,484,167

   2015

$  8,197,543

   2016

$11,587,282

   2018

$  4,011,206

   2019

As of September 30, 2014, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $7,147,501 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $6,550,571 available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. These capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character and must be utilized prior to the utilization of the loss carryforwards subject to expiration that are described above.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund did not have any deferred qualified late-year capital losses which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Access Capital Community Investment Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you 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.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

     Beginning
Account Value
10/1/14
   Ending
Account Value
3/31/15
   Expenses Paid
During Period*
10/1/14-3/31/15
   Annualized
Expense Ratio
During Period
10/1/14-3/31/15

Class A

   $1,000.00    $1,025.50    $5.05    1.00%

Class I

   $1,000.00    $1,026.20    $3.18    0.63%

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class I

   $1,000.00    $1,021.79    $3.18    0.63%

*Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect one half-year period).

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Performance shown reflects contractual fee waivers, without such fee waivers total returns would be reduced. Performance information does not reflect the 2% fee on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. If such redemption fee was included, performance would be reduced. For performance data current to the most recent month-end go to www.rbcgam.us. Please see footnotes below.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

1. Organization:

RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 23 portfolios. This report includes the following seven investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

- RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Select Bond Fund (“Emerging Market Select Bond Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund (“Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Global High Yield Bond Fund (“Global High Yield Bond Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Global Convertible Bond Fund (“Global Convertible Bond Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Absolute Return Fund (“Absolute Return Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund (“Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund”)

- RBC BlueBay Total Return Credit Fund (“Total Return Credit Fund”)

The Funds offer three share classes: Class I shares are offered by each fund; Class A shares are offered by each fund except Global Convertible Bond Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund and Class C shares are only offered by Absolute Return Fund. Class A shares are offered with a 4.25% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class C shares are offered with a 1.00% CDSC for redemption within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)” or “Advisor” or “Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds and BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay“or “Sub-Advisor”) acts as a sub-advisor for each of the BlueBay Funds. BlueBay Asset Management USA LLC (“BlueBay US”) also acts as a sub-advisor for the Global High Yield Bond Fund, the Absolute Return Fund, and the Total Return Credit Fund. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Security Valuation:

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by third-party pricing services approved by the Board. Equity securities listed on one or more exchanges shall be valued at the last available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the close of regular trading on the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. An equity security not listed on an exchange but listed on NASDAQ shall be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and is also

 

   103


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

categorized as Level 1. If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated or a NASDAQ official closing price is not available, the most recent bid quotation generally will be used and such securities will generally be categorized as Level 2. Investments in open-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities, including to-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.

Exchange-traded options, futures and options on futures are valued at the last sale price at the close of the market on the principal exchange on which they are traded. In the absence of any transactions on that day, the closing bid price shall be used for purchased options, futures and options on futures, and the closing ask price shall be used for written options. Such instruments are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market shall be valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or broker-dealer using a mathematical model which incorporates a number of market data factors, such as trades and prices of the underlying instruments. These contracts are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked to market daily based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service as of the close of the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. EST, and are generally classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Swaps, including credit-default swaps, interest rate swaps and total return swaps, are generally valued by an independent pricing service using a discounted cash flow methodology. This technique is used to value both the fixed and variable components of the swap contracts and takes into account market data and inputs sourced from various institutions and market-makers and includes daily intra-day and closing spreads, credit index quotes, yield curves, and recovery rate assumptions. The Fund’s net benefit or obligation under the derivative contract, as measured by the fair market value of the contract, is included in the Fund’s net assets. These swap contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair valuation hierarchy.

Foreign securities valued in non-U.S. dollars are valued in the foreign currency and then converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent using the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day the security’s value is determined. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States may be affected on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, exchange or redeem shares of the Funds.

The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets and liabilities. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor, Co-Administrator and Sub-Advisor, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management, compliance, and legal. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.

The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker-dealer or Fund management determines that a price provided

 

104


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.

When the Funds utilize fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Funds could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

The Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Funds disclose the fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

• Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

• Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment speeds, etc.

• Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.

(a) The breakdown of the Fund’s investments by country is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

(b) A Corporate Bond (Momentive Performance Materials, Inc.) in the United States section of the Schedule of Portfolio Investments has no value and is considered Level 3.

*Other financial instruments are instruments shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments, such as futures contracts, options, swaps and foreign currency exchange contracts which are valued at fair value.

During the period ended March 31, 2015, the Funds recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or Level 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers to/from Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

Foreign Currency Transactions:

The values of foreign securities, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from movements in currency exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities on the Statements of Operations. Such fluctuations are included with the net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment transactions. However, the effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates when determining the realized gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency denominated debt obligations are segregated pursuant to US Federal income tax regulations; such amounts are categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for both financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Financial Instruments:

Payment-In-Kind Securities:

The Funds may invest in payment-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a dirty price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, the total in-kind payments received by the Global High Yield Bond Fund with respect to PIKs constituted less then 5% of the Fund’s total income and, therefore, such payments were not disclosed as a separate line item on the Statement of Operations.

Derivatives:

The Funds may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities for hedging purposes only. Derivatives allow a Fund to increase or decrease its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund’s returns.

Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Funds, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below.

In addition to the risks associated with derivatives in general, the Funds will also be subject to risks related to swap agreements. Because swap agreements are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which a Fund and a swap counterparty enter as principals, a Fund may experience a loss or delay in recovering assets if the counterparty defaults on its obligations. Each Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets in an amount sufficient to cover its obligations under swap agreements.

Financial Futures Contracts:

The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to manage the duration of the portfolio and hedge against certain market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. Subsequent payments are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying instrument. A Fund would record an unrealized gain or loss each day equal to these daily payments.

Open futures contracts are shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments. Collateral pledged for open futures contracts is included in the cash at broker for futures contracts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2015.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Options:

The Funds may write (or sell) put and call options on the securities that the Funds are authorized to buy or already hold in their portfolio. The Funds may also purchase put and call options. The Global High Yield Bond Fund, Global Convertible Bond Fund, Absolute Return Fund and Total Return Credit Fund had outstanding options as of March 31, 2015.

A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right (but not the obligation) to buy, and obligates the seller to sell (when the option is exercised), the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. A put option gives the holder the right to sell and obligates the writer to buy the underlying instrument at the exercise price at any time or at a specified time during the option period. When a Fund purchases (writes) an option, an amount equal to the premium paid (received) by a Fund is reflected as an asset (liability). The amount of the asset (liability) is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option purchased (written). When an instrument is purchased or sold through an exercise of an option, the related premium paid (or received) is added to (or deducted from) the basis of the instrument acquired or deducted from (or added to) the proceeds of the instrument sold. When an option expires (or a Fund enters into a closing transaction), a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the option to the extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss to the extent the cost of the closing transaction exceeds the premium received or paid). When a Fund writes a call option, such option is “covered,” meaning that a Fund holds the underlying instrument subject to being called by the option counterparty, or cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation. When a Fund writes a put option, such option is covered by cash in an amount sufficient to cover the obligation.

In purchasing and writing options, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying instrument or the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in a Fund purchasing or selling a security at a price different from the current market value.

A Fund may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter (“OTC”) options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. Transactions in certain OTC options may expose a Fund to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty to the over-the-counter option transaction, a Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized gain on the contract (as writer).

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:

The Funds entered into forward foreign currency contracts (“Forward”) to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on foreign portfolio holdings (foreign currency exchange risk). In addition, certain Funds may use a Forward to provide exposure to the foreign currency market. A Forward is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. A Forward is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract settlement date. The market value of the Forward is determined using the forward rate for the remainder of the outstanding period of the contract, through the delivery date. When a Forward is closed or settled, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the fluctuation in rates during the period a Forward was open.

In the event of default by the counterparty to the transaction, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss, as either the buyer or seller, is the unrealized gain of the contract.

Details of forward contracts at period end are included in the Schedule of Portfolio Investments under the caption “Foreign currency exchange contracts.”

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Swap Agreements:

The Funds may enter into swap agreements, which are agreements involving two parties to exchange the return generated by a security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index, or other measures for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The Funds entered into total return, interest rate and other swap agreements as of March 31, 2015.

Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the agreement by the Funds to pay a counterparty a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount and to receive a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount, but may also involve the agreement to pay or receive payments derived from changes in interest rates. Periodic payments are generally made during the life of the swap agreement according to the terms and conditions of the agreement and at termination or maturity.

The Funds enter into cross-currency swaps to gain or reduce exposure to foreign currencies or as an economic hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio instruments (foreign currency exchange rate and/or interest rate risk). Cross-currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which one party pays a stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, in exchange for another party’s stream of interest payments, either fixed or floating, based on the notional amounts of two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. Cross-currency swaps may also involve an exchange of notional amounts at the start, during and/or at expiration of the contract, either at the current spot rate or another specified rate.

The Funds enter into credit default swaps to manage their exposure to the market or certain sectors of the market, to reduce their risk exposure to defaults of corporate and/or sovereign issuers or to create exposure to corporate and/or sovereign issuers to which they are not otherwise exposed (credit risk). The Funds enter into credit default swap agreements to provide a measure of protection against the default of an issuer (as buyer of protection) and/or gain credit exposure to an issuer to which it is not otherwise exposed (as seller of protection). The Funds may either buy or sell (write) credit default swaps on single-name issuers (corporate or sovereign), a combination or basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. Credit default swaps on single-name issuers are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation accelerators, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring). Credit default swaps on traded indexes are agreements in which the buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the seller in consideration for a guarantee from the seller to make a specific payment should a writedown, principal or interest shortfall or default of all or individual underlying securities included in the index occurs. As a buyer, if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. As a seller (writer), if an underlying credit event occurs, the Funds will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

Total return swap agreements involve the commitments to pay or receive an amount generally determined by reference to a security, index or other measure in exchange for a specific market linked return, based on notional amounts. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate-based obligation, the Funds receive or make a payment to the counterparty. Interim payments and payments received or made by a Fund at the expiration or other termination of the swap agreements are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations, and changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, are recorded as unrealized

These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements.

Total return swaps (Notional Amount in U.S. Dollars)   1,737,263                                 

Counterparty Credit Risk:

Derivatives may also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations). To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds.

For foreign currency exchange contracts, risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, or if the foreign currency rates change unfavorably.

The Funds’ risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Funds. For OTC purchased options, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Written options by the Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade.

With exchange-traded purchased options and futures and centrally cleared swaps, there is less counterparty credit risk to the Funds since the exchange or clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. While offset rights may exist under applicable law, the Fund does not have a contractual right of offset against a clearing broker or clearinghouse in the event of a default (including the bankruptcy or insolvency) of the clearing broker or clearinghouse. Additionally, credit risk exists in exchange-traded futures and centrally cleared swaps with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a clearing broker’s customer accounts. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients, typically the shortfall would be allocated on a pro rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Funds.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Funds mitigate its counterparty risk, the Funds may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with its derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between a Fund and a counterparty that governs certain OTC derivatives and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, a Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. In addition, certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event a Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA Master Agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

Collateral Requirements:

For derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund and the counterparty.

Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Fund and cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral and cash received as collateral, respectively. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Schedule of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $500,000) before a transfer is required, which is determined at the close of business of a Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to/pledged by a Fund on the next business day. Typically, a Fund and its counterparties are not permitted to sell, re-pledge or use the collateral they receive. To the extent amounts due to a Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, a Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Funds attempt to mitigate counterparty risk by entering into agreements only with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Credit Enhancement:

Certain obligations held by the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC and MBIA).

Offering Costs:

Upon commencement of operations, offering costs associated with the establishment of the Funds were incurred by the Funds. Offering costs are amortized and included in expenses over a 12-month period beginning with the commencement of operations and are included in the Statement of Operations.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Investment Transactions and Income:

Investment transactions are recorded on one business day after trade date, except on the last day of each fiscal quarter, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method.

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gain distributions are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., expiring capital loss carryforward), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with RBC GAM (US) under which RBC GAM (US) manages each Fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The Agreement requires each Fund to pay RBC GAM (US) a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the Agreement, RBC GAM (US) is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:

 

     Annual Rate

Emerging Market Select Bond Fund

       0.75 %

Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund

       0.85 %

Global High Yield Bond Fund

       0.70 %

Absolute Return Fund

       0.75 %

Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund

       1.15 %

Total Return Credit Fund

       0.85 %

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Funds to the following levels pursuant to an Expense Limitation Agreement.

Each Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 3 years from the end of the fiscal year in which a waiver or reimbursement is made by RBC GAM (US), any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay RBC GAM (US) such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation. At March 31, 2015, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the Expense Limitation Agreement were $695,332, $645,947, $637,882, $606,207, $155,280, $56,342 and $58,312 for the Emerging Market Select Bond Fund, Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund, Global High Yield Bond Fund, Global Convertible Bond Fund, Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, respectively. For the period ended March 31, 2015, the only recoupment of previously waived expenses was $56,644 for the Absolute Return Fund.

Each of the Funds are sub-advised by BlueBay and the Global High Yield Bond Fund, Absolute Return Fund and Total Return Credit Fund are also sub-advised by BlueBay US, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Royal Bank of Canada, which is a parent company of the Advisor. The Sub-Advisors are paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee paid by the Funds to the Advisor.

RBC GAM (US) serves as co-administrator to the Funds. BNY Mellon serves as co-administrator and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the Funds, maintenance of their records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, RBC GAM (US) does not receive a fee for its role as co-administrator. BNY Mellon receives a fee for its services payable by the Funds based on the Funds’ average net assets. BNY Mellon’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Trust currently pays each of the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the Advisor, either Co-Administrator or Distributor) an annual retainer of $41,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,500 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,500 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended, and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

In conjunction with the launch of each of the Funds, the Advisor invested seed capital in each Fund to provide each Fund with its initial investment assets. The table below shows, as of March 31, 2015, each Fund’s net assets, the shares (if any) of each Fund held by the Advisor, and the percent of total net assets represented by the Advisor’s investment.

4. Fund Distribution:

Each of the Funds except Global Convertible Bond Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for or to reimburse the Distributor for distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of Class A covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The Plan does not apply to Class I. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for Class A and C.

     Class A           Class C  

12b-1 Plan Fee

     0.25%*            1.00%   

* Under the 12b-1 plan, the maximum fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. Currently the Board of Trustees has approved an annual limit of 0.25%.

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A and C. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a Service Fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive a Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the period ended March 31, 2015, there were no fees waived by the Distributor.

For the period ended March 31, 2015, the Distributor received commissions of $65,635 from front-end sales charges of Class A shares of the Funds, of which $7,846 was paid to affiliated broker-dealers, and the remainder was either paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers or retained by the Distributor.

The Distributor did not receive any CDSC fees from Class A shares or Class C shares of the Funds during the period ended March 31, 2015.

7. Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 for all Funds, except Absolute Return Fund, which is the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2013 and 2014, and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2015, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:

 

              Net Unrealized  
  Tax Cost of   Unrealized   Unrealized   Appreciation  
  Securities   Appreciation   Depreciation   (Depreciation)

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2014, the Emerging Market Select Bond Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $2,634,303 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $182,218 available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. These capital loss carryforwards are not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund deferred long-term qualified late-year capital losses of $7,063 which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the year ending September 30, 2015.

 

 

8. Market Timing:

The Trust strongly discourages attempts at market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund charges a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, in addition to limiting the number of exchanges that may be made between Funds to five (5) per calendar year. When assessed, the redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and retained by the Fund, not by the Advisor. This redemption fee is not charged in cases where, for example, the redemption results from an automatic reinvestment or asset re-allocation not specifically directed by the shareholder. The Trust also reserves the right to reject any Fund purchase order made by persons deemed to be market timers. The Funds’ prospectus contains a full description of the Trust’s policies on market timing and/or excessive trading. The redemption fee is recorded as a credit to capital and is included in the capital transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

During the period ended March 31, 2015, redemption fees were collected by the Absolute Return Fund in the amount of $1,784. There were no redemption fees collected by the other Funds. Redemption fees collected by the Funds are included in the cost of shares redeemed on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

 

9. Commitments:

Global High Yield Bond Fund may invest in floating rate loan interests. In connection with these investments, Global High Yield Bond Fund may also enter into bridge loan commitments (“commitments”). Bridge loan commitments may obligate Global High Yield Bond Fund to furnish temporary financing to a borrower until permanent financing can be arranged. As of March 31, 2015, Global High Yield Bond Fund had no outstanding bridge loan commitments. In connection with these commitments, Global High Yield Bond Fund earns a commitment fee, typically set as a percentage of the commitment amount. Such fee income, which is included in interest income in the Statements of Operations, is recognized ratably over the commitment period.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

10. Line of Credit:

Each Fund, except Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, is a participant in a single committed, unsecured $4,000,000 line of credit with Bank of New York Mellon, the Funds’ custodian, to be used only to fund shareholder redemption requests and for other short-term temporary or emergency general business purposes. The line of credit has a scheduled termination date of March 29, 2016. Interest is charged on borrowings made under this line of credit at the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.25% per annum, and (b) the Overnight LIBOR Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.12% per annum of the available line of credit is charged, of which each Fund, except Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, shall pay its pro rata share based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the aggregate net assets of the Funds, except Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, at the time the fee is due and payable. Accrued and unpaid commitment fees shall be payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter. An upfront fee equal to 0.02% of the commitment amount was paid by the Funds, except Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, upon the effectiveness and upon each annual renewal of the line of credit. Since each of the Funds, except Absolute Return Fund, Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, participates in the line of credit, there is no assurance that an individual fund will have access to all or any part of the $4,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2015. During the period ended March 31, 2015, the Funds did not utilize this line of credit.

 

 

11. Subsequent Events:

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events of the Funds and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds 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 from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 for all Funds except Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and Total Return Credit Fund, which is from December 9, 2014 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2015.

 

 

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

   APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

 

Information Regarding the Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

This section provides information regarding the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (together, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the RBC BlueBay Total Return Credit Fund and RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund (the “Funds”), which commenced operations on December 9, 2014. RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (the “Advisor”) serves as investment advisor for the Funds. BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay”) serves as the Funds’ sub-advisor and BlueBay Asset Management USA LLC (“BlueBay US”) serves as an additional sub-advisor for the RBC BlueBay Total Return Credit Fund (BlueBay and BlueBay US, collectively, the “Sub-Advisors”).

In September 2014, the Trustees considered approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Funds. The Trustees met with representatives from the Advisor’s senior management team, as well as senior investment professionals from the Sub-Advisors responsible for managing the Funds, to discuss the information provided and management of the Funds by the Advisor, BlueBay, and BlueBay US.

In addition to considering the information presented in connection with the September 23, 2014 meeting, the Trustees also considered the information regarding the capabilities of the Advisor and Sub-Advisors presented in connection with a Special Meeting on September 18, 2014, related to the proposed renewals of other agreements with the Advisor and Sub-Advisors, and considered information provided at regular quarterly Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel with regard to the information and materials considered, the Trustees’ responsibilities with regard to the information and materials, and the Trustees’ responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services to be performed by the Advisor and Sub-Advisors for the Funds, the staffing and qualifications of the personnel responsible for operating and managing the Funds, the relevant experience of the Sub-Advisors, and the performance record of the Sub-Advisors in managing assets according to a similar investment strategy. The Trustees focused their consideration of the Advisory Agreements on reviewing the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided under the Advisory Agreements and, with respect to the Sub-Advisors, their experiences managing accounts with investment objectives similar to those of the Funds.

The Trustees also reviewed information regarding the anticipated expense structure of the Funds along with comparative information on the services to be rendered to — and fees to be paid by — the Funds. The Trustees discussed the proposed annual advisory fee for the RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Unconstrained Fixed Income Fund and noted that the Fund bears comparison to a liquid alternatives fund that warrants a higher fee. No contractual advisory fee breakpoints were established, however, the Trustees determined to evaluate fee and expense levels and breakpoints going forward as profitability and economies of scale information for the Funds is developed over time. The Trustees viewed favorably the Advisor’s agreement to limit the annual expenses of the Funds. The Trustees also discussed the new operative fee provision of the sub-advisory fees for BlueBay and BlueBay US. The Trustees concluded that the Funds’ advisory and sub-advisory fees proposed to be payable to the Advisor and Sub-Advisors, respectively, were fair and reasonable in light of the level and quality of the services to be provided under all of the circumstances and were within the range of what might have been negotiated at arms’ length.

Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by both the Advisor and Sub-Advisors and it is in the interests of the Funds and their shareholders for the Trustees to approve the Advisory Agreements for the Funds. In arriving at their collective decision to approve the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of itself.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Performance shown reflects contractual fee waivers, without such fee waivers total returns would be reduced. Performance information does not reflect the 2% fee on shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase. If such redemption fee was included, performance would be reduced.

(1) The Funds’ expenses reflect the most recent fiscal year-end (September 30, 2014).

(2) The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Fund to the levels listed under net expense ratio until January 31, 2016. For SMID Cap Growth Fund, effective November 27, 2013, the annual rate under the expense limitation agreement is 1.10% for Class A and 0.85% for Class I. Prior to November 27, 2013, the annual rate was 1.35% for Class A and 1.10% for Class I. The ratio of net expenses to average net assets represents a blended percentage for the period ended September 30, 2014.

(3) For the period from December 3, 2014 (commencement of operations) to March 31, 2015.

(4) Annualized.

*Each of the comparative indices is a widely recognized market value weighted measure of the return of securities, but do not include sales fees or operating expenses. You cannot invest directly in indices.

 

(a) The performance in the table for the period from June 1, 1994 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, the predecessor to RBC SMID Cap Growth Fund. The performance of the Fund also includes the performance of a common trust fund (“CTF”) account advised by RBC GAM (US) (including its predecessor) and managed the same as the Fund in all material respects for the period from December 31, 1990 to June 1, 1994, as adjusted to reflect the full contractual rate of expenses associated with the Fund at its inception. The CTF account was not registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act and therefore was not subject to the investment restrictions imposed by law on registered mutual funds. If the CTF account had been registered, the CTF account’s performance may have been adversely affected. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower).

 

(b) The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 31, 1990.

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1.Organization:

RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 23 portfolios. Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This report includes the following six investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

- RBC SMID Cap Growth Fund (“SMID Cap Growth Fund”)

- RBC Enterprise Fund (“Enterprise Fund”)

- RBC Small Cap Core Fund (“Small Cap Core Fund”)

- RBC Microcap Value Fund (“Microcap Value Fund”)

- RBC Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”)

- RBC Small Cap Value Fund (“Small Cap Value Fund”)

The SMID Cap Growth, Enterprise, Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds offer two share classes: Class A and Class I shares. On November 27, 2012, Class C shares were converted to Class A shares for the SMID Cap Growth, Enterprise, Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds and Class S shares were converted to Class I shares for SMID Cap Growth and Enterprise Funds. For the Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds, which did not previously have Class I shares, the Class S shares were redesignated as Class I shares. The Mid Cap Value Fund and Small Cap Value Fund offer Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with a 5.75% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)” or “Advisor” or “Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Fund Management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Security Valuation:

The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted pricing and valuation procedures for determining the fair value of each Fund’s investments. Fair value of a security is considered to be the price that a fund might reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by third-party pricing services approved by the Board. Equity securities listed on one or more exchanges shall be valued at the last available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the close of regular trading on the exchange and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. An equity security not listed on an exchange but listed on NASDAQ shall be valued at the NASDAQ official closing price and is also categorized as Level 1. If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated or a NASDAQ official closing price is not available, the most recent bid quotation generally

 

62


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

will be used and such securities will generally categorized as Level 2. Investments in open-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities, including to-be-announced (“TBA”) commitments and municipal bonds, are generally valued based on evaluated prices received from third-party pricing services or from broker-dealers who make markets in the securities and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account multiple appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, market spreads, interest rates, and fundamental security analytical data including yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue.

Foreign securities valued in non-U.S. dollars are valued in the foreign currency and then converted into the U.S. dollar equivalent using the foreign exchange rate in effect at the close of the NYSE on the day the security’s value is determined. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States may be affected on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, exchange or redeem shares of the Funds.

The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities or other assets. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor and Co-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management, compliance and legal. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.

The Board has adopted procedures to determine the fair value of a security when a price is not available from a pricing service or broker-dealer or Fund management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event affecting the value of a security or market sector is determined to have occurred between the time when a security’s market closes and the time the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. The fair value of the security will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded. These securities are either categorized as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy, depending on the relevant inputs used.

When the Funds utilize fair valuation methods that use significant unobservable inputs to determine a security’s value, such securities will be categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may require subjective determinations about the value of a security. While the Funds’ policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s net asset value that fairly reflects security values as of the time of pricing, the Funds cannot guarantee that values determined by the Board or persons acting at their direction would accurately reflect the price that the Funds could obtain for a security if they were to dispose of it as of the time of pricing (for instance, in a forced or distressed sale). The prices used by the Funds may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold.

The Funds’ Pricing Committee employs various methods for calibrating the valuation approach related to securities categorized within Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These methods may include regular due diligence of the Funds’ pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and

 

   63


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

assumptions, transaction back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing and stale prices and large movements in market value, and reviews of any market related activities. Additionally, the pricing of all fair value holdings is subsequently reported to the Valuation Committee and Board.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·   Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

·   Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment speeds, etc.

·   Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of each Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Funds except Microcap Value Fund recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or Level 2. For Microcap Value Fund, transfers to Level 2 from Level 1 in the amount of $1,260 were due to the absence of an active trading market for the securities on March 31, 2015; Securities were transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 in the amount of $3,065,781 since the trading market became active for the securities. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the period utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

(a) These securities were transferred to Level 3 due to lack of a current market quotation and was valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board or persons acting at their direction using unobservable inputs.

 

* Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in Level 3 securities still held at March 31, 2015.

The Funds’ assets assigned to the Level 3 category were valued using market data or trade information specific to the security or comparable issues. However, due to a lack of market activity or corroborating data to support the valuations, the investments were classified as Level 3.

The significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurement of the Funds’ investments are (i) an estimation of a normalized earnings level for the company and (ii) the likelihood of achieving normalized earnings. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. Generally, a change in the assumptions used for the normalized earnings level will be accompanied by a directionally similar change in the discounts applied to the list of comparable investments.

Repurchase Agreements:

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties whom the Advisor has deemed creditworthy, including primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other large U.S. commercial banks or broker-dealers. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s

 

   65


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have procedures to monitor additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default. There were no Repurchase Agreements held during the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Affiliated Investments:

Each Fund invests in other Funds of the Trust (an “Affiliated Fund”). The income and both realized and the change in unrealized gains and losses earned by each Fund from the Affiliated Funds for the period is disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The table below details the transactions of each Fund in Affiliated Funds.

               $       $ 228,155       $ 159,141       $ 69,014       $ 6   

Investment Transactions and Income:

Investment transactions are recorded on one business day after trade date, except on the last day of each fiscal quarter end, when they are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the cost of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount using the effective yield method.

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or investment advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds in the Trust either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets.

Real Estate Investment Trusts:

The Funds may own shares of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Dividends paid by a REIT, other than capital gain distributions, will be taxable as ordinary income up to the amount of the REIT’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. Capital gain dividends paid by a REIT to a fund will be treated as long term capital gains by the fund and, in turn, may be distributed by the fund to its shareholders as a capital gain distribution. Distributions received from a REIT in excess of its income are recorded as a return of capital and a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions for each Fund are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations,

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, distribution redesignations and prior year spillbacks), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The Trust has entered into Investment Advisory Agreements with RBC GAM (US) under which RBC GAM (US) manages each Fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreements require each Fund to pay RBC GAM (US) a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the agreements, RBC GAM (US) is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:

 

    

Average Daily Net Assets of Fund

        Annual Rate  

SMID Cap Growth Fund

       All Net Assets         0.70%   

Enterprise Fund

       Up to $30 million         1.00%   
       Over $30 million         0.90%   

Small Cap Core Fund

       All Net Assets         0.85%   

Microcap Value Fund

       All Net Assets         0.90%   

Mid Cap Value Fund

       All Net Assets         0.70%   

Small Cap Value Fund

       All Net Assets         0.80%   

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of Class A and Class I shares of each Fund to the following levels. This Expense Limitation Agreement is in place until January 31, 2016.

 

    

Class A

Mid Cap Value Fund

     N/A                 0.90%   

Small Cap Value Fund

     N/A                 1.00%   

Each Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months (for each of the funds except Small Cap Value Fund which is for a period not to exceed 3 years from the end of the fiscal year in which fee was waived or reimbursement made.) from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by RBC GAM (US), any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay RBC GAM (US) such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation stated above. At March 31, 2015, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are $172,880, $173,994, $567,884, $252,107, $113,485 and $45,501 for SMID Cap Growth, Enterprise, Small Cap Core, Microcap Value, Mid Cap Value and Small Cap Value Funds, respectively. There was no recoupment of expense reimbursements/waivers during the period. Amounts from prior years are no longer subject to recoupment.

RBC GAM (US) voluntarily agreed to waive its investment advisory fees by the amount of investment advisory fees Small Cap Value Fund pays to RBC GAM (US) indirectly through its investment in an affiliated money market fund. For the period ended March 31, 2015, the amount waived was $112 and is included in expenses waived/reimbursed by Advisor in the Statement of Operations.

RBC GAM (US) may also voluntarily waive and/or reimburse operating expenses of any Fund from time to time. Any such voluntary program may be changed or eliminated at any time without notice, and expenses waived under such program are not subject to recoupment.

4. Fund Distribution:

Each of the Funds has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for or to reimburse the Distributor for distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of Class A covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The Plan does not apply to Class I. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for Class A.

 

     Class A  

12b-1 Plan Fee

     0.25%

* Under the 12b-1 plan, the maximum fee rate for Class A shares is 0.50%. Currently the Board of Trustees has approved an annual limit of 0.25%.

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a Service Fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive a Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the six months ended March 31, 2015, there were no fees waived by the Distributor.

For the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Distributor received commissions of $8,131 from front-end sales charges of Class A shares of the Funds, of which $1,544 was paid to affiliated broker-dealers, and the remainder was either paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers or retained by the Distributor.

The Distributor did not receive any CDSC fees from Class A shares of the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2015.

Within the guidelines established by the Funds to always seek best execution when entering into portfolio transactions, certain of the Funds participate in a “commission recapture” program under which brokerage transactions are directed to Capital Institutional Services Inc. (“CAPIS”) and its correspondent brokers. A portion of the commissions paid under this program are reimbursed to the Funds and are recorded as net realized gains from investment transactions in the financial statements.

7. Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.

 

70


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2015, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:

 

     Tax Cost of
Securities
     Unrealized

     Unrealized

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2014, the Funds did not have any capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 and ordinary losses after December 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The SMID Cap Growth Fund and Enterprise Fund had deferred qualified late-year ordinary losses of $274,742 and $73,803, respectively, which will be treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015.

 

 

8. Market Timing:

The Trust strongly discourages attempts at market timing by Fund shareholders. Each Fund charges a redemption fee of 2% of the value of the shares redeemed or exchanged within 30 days of purchase, and may also limit the number of exchanges that may be made between Funds to five (5) per calendar year. When assessed, the redemption fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds and retained by the Fund, not by the Advisor. This redemption fee is not charged in certain situations, such as where the redemption results from an automatic reinvestment or asset re-allocation not specifically directed by the shareholder. The Trust also reserves the right to reject any Fund purchase order made by persons deemed to be market timers. The Funds’ prospectus contains a full description of the Trust’s policies on market timing and/or excessive trading. The redemption fee is recorded as a credit to capital and is included in the capital transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

   71


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the redemption fees collected by the Funds which are included in the cost of shares redeemed on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets are as follows:

Enterprise Fund

Microcap Value Fund

9. Soft Dollars:

The term soft dollars generally refers to arrangements in which services other than trade execution are received from a broker-dealer. Federal securities laws permit a fund advisor to incur commission charges on behalf of a Fund that are higher than another broker dealer would have charged if the advisor believes the charges are reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services received. RBC GAM (US) has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Funds to seek the best execution price for all of the Funds’ securities transactions. Fund management believes that using soft dollars to purchase brokerage and research services may, in certain cases, be in a Fund’s best interest. As of March 31, 2015, certain of the Funds used soft dollar arrangements on a limited basis. Fund management continues to closely monitor its current use of soft dollars, in addition to regulatory developments in this area for any possible impact on Fund policies.

 

 

10. Subsequent Events:

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events of the Funds and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

   SHARE CLASS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

 

The RBC Equity Funds offer two share classes. These two share classes are the A and I classes.

 

 

Class A

Class A shares of all Funds except Mid Cap Value and Small Cap Value are available for purchase primarily through investment advisors, broker-dealers, banks and other financial services intermediaries. Class A shares of the Funds are currently subject to a maximum up-front sales charge of 5.75% and a 1.00% CDSC for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase. Class A shares currently include a 0.25% (25 bps) annual 12b-1 service and distribution fee.

 

 

Class I

Class I shares are available in all of the Equity Funds. This share class is intended for investors meeting certain minimum investment thresholds. This share class does not have an up-front sales charge (load) or a 12b-1 service and distribution fee.

 

   73


 

    SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 12b-1 distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds 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 from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015 except for the Small Cap Value Fund which is held for the entire period from December 3, 2014 to March 31, 2015.

 

 

Actual Expenses and Performance

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

  APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

 

Information Regarding the Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements

This section provides information regarding the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the RBC Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), which commenced operations on December 3, 2014. RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (the “Advisor”) serves as investment advisor for the Fund.

In September 2014, the Trustees considered approval of the Advisory Agreement for the Fund. The Trustees met with representatives from the Advisor’s senior management team to discuss the information provided and the Advisor’s management of the Fund.

In addition to considering the information presented in connection with the September 23, 2014 meeting, the Trustees also considered the information regarding the capabilities of the Advisor presented in connection with a Special Meeting on September 18, 2014, related to the proposed renewals of other agreements with the Advisor, and considered information provided at regular quarterly Board and Committee meetings throughout the year. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel with regard to the information and materials considered, the Trustees’ responsibilities with regard to the information and materials, and the Trustees’ responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services to be performed by the Advisor for the Fund, the staffing and qualifications of the personnel responsible for operating and managing the Fund, and the relevant experience of the Advisor. The Trustees focused their consideration of the Advisory Agreement on reviewing the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided under the Advisory Agreement and the performance record of the Advisor in managing products in a similar style to the Fund.

The Trustees also reviewed information regarding the anticipated expense structure of the Fund along with comparative information on the services to be rendered to — and fees to be paid by — the Fund. No contractual advisory fee breakpoints were established, however, the Trustees determined to evaluate fee and expense levels and breakpoints going forward as profitability and economies of scale information for the Fund is developed over time. The Trustees viewed favorably the Advisor’s agreement to limit the annual expenses of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee proposed to be payable to the Advisor was fair and reasonable in light of the level and quality of the services to be provided under all of the circumstances and was within the range of what might have been negotiated at arms’ length.

Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor and it is in the interest of the Fund and its shareholders for the Trustees to approve the Advisory Agreement for the Fund. In arriving at their collective decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not assign relative weights to the factors discussed above or deem any one or group of them to be controlling in and of itself.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

 
 
 
Investment
Objective
  
  
     

Each of the RBC Money Market Funds was managed to preserve principal. This means that the share price of each fund held steady at $1.00. A consistent share price of $1.00 is expected for a money market mutual fund. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. These risks are more fully described in the prospectus.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than performance quoted. Performance shown reflects contractual fee waivers, without such fee waivers total returns would be reduced.

   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003 and currently consists of 23 portfolios. Predecessor funds to the Trust were reorganized as portfolios of the Trust effective April 16, 2004. This report includes the following three investment portfolios (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”):

- Prime Money Market Fund

- U.S. Government Money Market Fund

- Tax-Free Money Market Fund

The Funds offer five share classes: RBC Institutional Class 1, RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Investor Class, RBC Reserve Class and RBC Select Class.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)” or “Advisor” or “Co-Administrator”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Summarized below are the significant accounting policies of the Funds. These policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Fund management follows these policies when preparing financial statements. Management may also be required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements are as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

Security Valuation:

Each Fund has elected to use the amortized cost method to value its securities (other than other investment companies) pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) believes approximates fair market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security initially at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, securities valued at amortized cost are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. If amortized cost no longer approximates fair value due to credit or other impairments of an issuer, the Fund will determine the fair value of its securities by using pricing and valuation procedures approved by the Board. Investments in open-end investment companies (mutual funds) are valued at net asset value and are categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Board has delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (“Pricing Committee”) the responsibility for implementing the pricing and valuation procedures, including responsibility for determining the fair value of the Funds’ securities and other assets. The Pricing Committee includes representatives of the Funds’ Advisor and Co-Administrator, including personnel from accounting and operations, investment management, trading, risk management, compliance and legal. The Pricing Committee meets at least quarterly to review and approve Fund valuation matters, including a review of the Funds’ pricing activity and operations, fair value measurements, pricing vendors, policies and procedures, and related controls. At least a quorum of the Pricing Committee shall meet more frequently, as needed, to consider and approve time-sensitive fair valuation matters. The Pricing Committee reports to the

 

48


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Valuation, Portfolio Management and Performance Committee (“Valuation Committee”) of the Board. Members of the Pricing Committee meet with the Valuation Committee and the Board at each of their regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions taken during the period.

In accordance with Rule 2a-7, the fair values of the securities held in the Funds are determined at least once per week using evaluated prices supplied by third-party pricing vendors approved by the Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-sized trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. These security values are then compared to the securities’ amortized cost. If a security price is not available from a pricing service or broker-dealer, or Fund management determines that a price provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer does not approximate fair value for purposes of this comparison, the security’s fair value will be determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee in accordance with procedures and methodologies adopted by the Board. General factors used in determining the fair value of securities include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; trading in similar securities; any restrictions on disposition of the security; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the investments are traded.

Fair Value Measurements:

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that categorizes investments based on the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

  Level 1 - Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date.

  Level 2 - Significant inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, spreads, prepayment speeds, etc.

  Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

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

Inputs used in determining fair value of an investment may include, but are not limited to, price information, volatility statistics, credit and market data, and other factors, all of which may be either observable or unobservable. Inputs can vary among investments and will be impacted by the investment type and volume of activity for the particular security or similar securities in the market. Investments in the Level 3 category are generally supported by transactions and quoted prices from dealers participating in the market for those investments. Investments may be included in the Level 3 category due to a lack of market activity or transparency. Internal valuation models may also be used as a pricing source for Level 3 investments. Internal valuation models may rely on one or more unobservable inputs, such as estimated cash flows, financial statement analysis and discount rates.

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2015 is as follows:

 

            Level 2      Level 3         
            Significant      Significant         
     Level 1      Observable      Unobservable

(a) Level 1 investments consist of Investment Companies.

(b) The breakdown of the Fund’s investments by security type is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

(c) The breakdown of the Fund’s investments by state classification or political subdivision is disclosed in the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Funds recognized no transfers to/from Level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

Investment Transactions and Income:

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is bought or sold (“trade date”). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium and discount using the effective yield method.

When Issued Transactions:

The Funds may engage in when-issued transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain sufficient liquidity so that cash will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued daily beginning on the trade date and begin earning interest on the settlement date. As of March 31, 2015, the Funds held no when-issued securities.

Repurchase Agreements:

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with counterparties whom the Advisor has deemed creditworthy, including primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or other large U.S. commercial banks or broker-dealers. These repurchase agreements are subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by the Funds plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates.

Securities pledged by the dealers as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have procedures to monitor additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the market value of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default.

Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) permit each Fund, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of a MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, each Fund receives securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be received by each Fund upon the maturity of the repurchase transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, each Fund recognizes a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect each Fund’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty. Details of the counterparties and collateral for repurchase agreements are shown on the Schedule of Portfolio Investments.

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

Each Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or investment advisory fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated among each of the Funds either proportionately based upon each Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds, depending on the nature of the expense. Individual share classes within a Fund are charged expenses specific to that class, such as distribution fees and transfer agent fees. Within a Fund, expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated

 

50


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

daily to each class based upon the proportion of relative net assets. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on the proportion of relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends will also be paid at any time during the month upon total redemption of shares in an account. Capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g. distribution in excess of net investment income), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.

Credit Enhancement:

Certain obligations held in the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements; and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC and MBIA).

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with RBC GAM (US) under which RBC GAM (US) manages the Funds’ assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The Agreement requires the Funds to pay RBC GAM (US) a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the advisory contracts, RBC GAM (US) is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets as follows:

RBC Institutional Class 1 of the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund pays the Advisor an annual shareholder services administration fee of 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to RBC Institutional Class 1 shares of a Fund that is used to compensate financial intermediaries for providing services to shareholders and maintaining shareholder accounts. This shareholder services administration fee is not paid pursuant to Rule 12b-1.

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under an Expense Limitation Agreement in order to maintain the net annual fund operating expenses at 0.20% for RBC Institutional Class 1 of the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, there were no fees waived under this agreement.

RBC GAM (US) serves as co-administrator to the Funds. BNY Mellon serves as co-administrator and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the Administrative Services Agreement include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the Funds, maintenance of their records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement, RBC GAM (US) does not receive an administration services fee. BNY Mellon receives a fee for its services payable by the Funds based on the Funds’ average net assets. BNY Mellon’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the Advisor. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The Trust currently pays each of the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the advisor, either co-administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $41,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,500 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,500 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended, and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund engaged in security purchase and sale transactions with other RBC Funds or investment advisory clients managed by RBC GAM (US). These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) and amounted to $6,000,000 and $96,315,000 for Prime Money Market Fund, respectively, and $98,315,000 and $6,000,000 for Tax-Free Money Market Fund, respectively.

Government Money Market and Tax-Free Money Market Funds have adopted a Shareholder Account and Distribution Services (12b-1) Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Investor Class, RBC Reserve Class and the RBC Select Class, in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for or to reimburse the Distributor or others, including RBC Capital Markets, LLC, monthly for distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of each share class covered under the Plan, and/or for providing shareholder services. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for each class:

12b-1 Plan Fee

     0.15%         1.00%         0.90%         0.80%   

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of the applicable class. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a Service Fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

Pursuant to a Shareholder Account and Distribution Services Agreement between the Distributor and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, the Distributor has agreed to compensate RBC Capital Markets for certain shareholder account servicing support provided to the Funds. RBC Capital Markets has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to maintain the net annual fund operating expenses for each class listed below for each Fund to the following amounts:

At March 31, 2015, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are $10,843,501, $6,939,554 and $2,274,179 for the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund, respectively.

6. Federal Income Taxes

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of each Fund.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

*Total distributions paid may differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets because distributions are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and the tax character of distributions paid are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2015.

As of March 31, 2015, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains, if any:

 

     Capital Loss              
     Carryforward           Expires  

Prime Money Market Fund

     $4,059,261            2017   

Tax-Free Money Market Fund

     10,264            2019   

As of March 31, 2015, the Tax-Free Money Market Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward of $5,796 available to offset future realized capital gains in accordance with the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. This capital loss carryforward is not subject to expiration and must first be utilized to offset future realized gains of the same character and must be utilized prior to the utilization of the loss carryforwards subject to expiration that are described above.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds did not have any deferred qualified late-year capital losses for the year ending September 30, 2014.

7. Line of Credit

The Tax-Free Money Market Fund is the sole participant in an uncommitted, unsecured $150,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), the Fund’s custodian, to be used to fund shareholder redemption requests and for other short-term temporary or emergency general business purposes. The line of credit has a scheduled termination date of February 13, 2016. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the Bank’s prime lending rate –  12% per annum. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2015. During the six months ended March 31, 2015, the Tax-Free Money Market Fund did not utilize this line of credit.

8. Regulatory Matters

On July 23, 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to the rules that govern money market mutual funds. In part, the amendments will require structural changes to most types of money market funds to one extent or another; however, the SEC provided for an extended 2-year transition period to comply with such structural requirements. At this time, management is evaluating the reforms adopted and the manner for implementing these reforms over time and its impact on the financial statements.

9. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of subsequent events of the Funds and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; 12b-1 distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds 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 from October 1, 2014 through March 31, 2015.

 

 

Actual Expenses and Performance

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
