FUND (THE FUNDS) SUPPLEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 29, 2006 TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR G-TRUST SHARES AND RETAIL A SHARES DATED FEBRUARY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 1, 2006, AND TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR CLASS A SHARES, CLASS B SHARES, CLASS C SHARES, CLASS Z SHARES, DAILY CLASS SHARES, SERVICE CLASS SHARES AND MARSICO SHARES DATED AUGUST 1, 2006 1. The prospectuses for all referenced share classes of the Funds are hereby supplemented as follows. Effective December 4, 2006: Under the heading "Selling shares," the section that begins "We may sell your shares," is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: - ACCOUNTS BELOW $250 - We will automatically sell your shares if the value of your account (treating each account of the Fund you own separately from any other account of the Fund you may own) falls below $250. If your shares are sold, the Transfer Agent will remit the balance of your account to you. Any otherwise applicable CDSC will not be imposed on such automatic sale of your shares. The Transfer Agent will send you written notification at least 30 days in advance of any automatic sale, which will provide details on how you may avoid such automatic sale. Generally, you may avoid such automatic sale by raising your account balance, consolidating your accounts through an exchange of shares of another Columbia Fund in which you hold shares, or setting up a Systematic Investment Plan. Please contact the Transfer Agent, review our website at www.columbiafunds.com, call 1.800.345.6611 or contact your investment professional for more information. The automatic sale of shares of accounts valued at less than $250 will take place initially in December 2006, and subsequently in the second quarter of each calendar year. We may also sell your shares if a financial institution or intermediary tells us to sell your shares pursuant to arrangements made with you, and under certain other circumstances allowed under the 1940 Act. - MINIMUM BALANCE FEE - Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, if the value of your account (treating each account of the Fund you own separately from any other account of the Fund you may own) falls below the minimum initial investment requirement applicable to you, your account will be subject to a $20 annual fee. This fee will be assessed through the automatic sale of shares in your account. Any otherwise applicable CDSC will not be imposed on such automatic sale of your shares. The Transfer Agent will reduce the expenses paid by the Fund by any amounts it collects from the assessment of this fee. For Funds that do not have transfer agency expenses against which to offset the amount collected through assessment of this fee, the fee will be paid directly to the Fund. The Transfer Agent will send you written notification at least 30 days in advance of assessing any fee, which will provide details on how you can add money to your account in order to avoid the imposition of such fee. Generally, you may avoid the imposition of such fee by raising your account balance, consolidating your accounts through an exchange of shares of another Fund in which you hold shares, or setting up a Systematic Investment Plan. Please contact the Transfer Agent, review our website at www.columbiafunds.com, call 1.800.345.6611 or contact your investment professional for more information. We reserve the right to change the minimum investment requirements for any Fund. We also reserve the right to lower the account size trigger point for the minimum balance fee in any year or for any class of shares when we believe it is appropriate to do so in light of declines in the market value of Fund shares or sales loads applicable to a particular class of shares, or for other reasons. - EXCEPTIONS TO THE POLICY - The automatic sale of shares of accounts under $250 and the annual minimum balance fee described above do not apply to shareholders holding their shares through broker-dealer networked accounts; wrap fee and omnibus accounts; accounts with active Systematic Investment Plans or payroll deduction plans; accounts that were created by the automatic conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares; and certain qualified retirement plans.
