President's Message

Dear Shareholders,

A return to volatility

Volatility returned to the financial markets in the second quarter of 2013, as uncertainty about the global economy, monetary policy and the impact of the sequester's spending cuts weighed on investors. Households advanced their spending but also allocated less to savings. Labor markets continued to crank out jobs at a steady pace, slowly reducing unemployment. Housing activity remained strong and retail sales were higher despite no real increase in income. The single weak spot was in the manufacturing sector, where activity slowed. While the consumer has weathered the domestic drag well, business has been closer to the global slowdown and effects of sequestration. Businesses remain very cautious, keeping inventories and staffs lean, and are planning for but not yet confident enough to make capital expenditures.

Against this backdrop, equities outperformed fixed income during the second quarter of 2013. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, and growth outperformed value except for in the large-cap sector. Outside the United States, foreign stock markets generally lost ground, with the most significant losses sustained by emerging markets.

Columbia Management to begin delivering summary prospectuses

Each Columbia fund is required to update its prospectus on an annual basis. Beginning with June 2013 prospectus updates, shareholders of Columbia retail mutual funds will start to receive a summary prospectus, rather than the full length (statutory) mutual fund prospectus they have received in the past.

Each fund's summary prospectus will include the following key information:

>  Investment objective

>  Fee and expense table

>  Portfolio turnover rate information

>  Principal investment strategies, principal risks and performance information

>  Management information

>  Purchase and sale information

>  Tax information

>  Financial intermediary compensation information

Each fund's statutory prospectus will contain additional information about the fund and its risks. Both the statutory and summary prospectus will be updated each year, and will be available at columbiamanagement.com. Shareholders may request a printed version of a statutory prospectus at no cost by calling 800.345.6611 or sending an email to serviceinquiries@columbiamanagement.com.

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class B are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Portfolio's other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Portfolio's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Portfolio expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.

*The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Portfolio, if shown, which are since Portfolio inception) include the returns of the Portfolio's oldest share class. Since the Portfolio launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit columbiamanagement.com/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information.

The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks and is frequently used as a general measure of market performance.

Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Portfolio may not match those in an index.

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio

Understanding Your Portfolio's Expenses

(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing Your Portfolio's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Portfolio during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Portfolio's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Portfolio's actual return) and then applies the Portfolio's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the Portfolio's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Portfolio invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the effective expenses paid during the period column.

Compare With Other Funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Portfolio with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Portfolio's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Effective expenses paid during the period and the Portfolio's effective annualized expense ratio include expenses borne directly to the class plus the Portfolio's pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by the underlying funds using the expense ratio of each class of the underlying funds as of the underlying fund's most recent shareholder report.

Notes to Portfolio of Investments (continued)

(b)  Non-income producing.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as  Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Financial Highlights

The following tables are intended to help you understand the Portfolio's financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any, and is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the Trust), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

The Portfolio is a "fund-of-funds" and invests in a combination of underlying affiliated funds* for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or an affiliate acts as investment manager or principal underwriter. The Portfolio may also invest in unaffiliated underlying funds, exchange traded funds, equity and fixed income securities (including treasury inflation protected securities) and derivative instruments. Columbia Management is the Investment Manager for the underlying affiliated funds.

*For information on the goals, investment strategies and risks of the underlying funds please refer to the Portfolio's most recent prospectus and the prospectuses of the underlying funds.

Portfolio Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Portfolio offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5 and Class Z shares. All share classes have generally identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, although each share class votes separately when required by law, different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of each such share class differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.

Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Portfolio no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Portfolio's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or

capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Portfolio and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.

Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

Class K shares are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors.

Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.

Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors.

Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans.

Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Investments in the underlying funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date.

The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.

Semiannual Report 2013
24



Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Income Recognition

Income and capital gain distributions from the underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolio and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Portfolio on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

The Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Portfolio intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Portfolio should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its portfolios. In addition, certain of the Portfolio's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Portfolio cannot be determined, and the Portfolio has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Management Fees and Underlying Fund Fees

Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.00% on assets invested in funds that pay an investment advisory fee to the Investment Manager, (ii) 0.10% on assets invested in non-exchange traded third-party advised mutual funds and (iii) 0.55% on assets invested in all other securities, including other funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay an investment advisory fee, ETF's, derivatives and individual securities.

The annualized effective investment management fee rate for the six months ended July 31, 2013 was less than 0.01% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Portfolio invests. Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary.

Administration Fees

Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Portfolio Administrator. The Portfolio pays the Portfolio Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Semiannual Report 2013
25



Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Other Expenses

Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Portfolio or the Board of Trustees (the Board), including payments to a company providing limited administrative services to the Portfolio and the Board. That company's expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, other expenses paid to this company were $743.

Compensation of Board Members

Board members are compensated for their services to the Portfolio as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Portfolio's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Portfolio until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Transfer Agent Fees

Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Portfolio. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.

The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Portfolio's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Portfolio (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the Portfolio's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Class A

   

0.20

%

 

Class B

   

0.20

   

Class C

   

0.20

   

Class K

   

0.05

   

Class R

   

0.20

   

Class R4

   

0.21

   

Class R5

   

0.05

   

Class Z

   

0.20

   

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Portfolio's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $1,514.

Plan Administration Fees

Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, the Portfolio pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.

Distribution and Service Fees

The Portfolio has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Portfolio has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Portfolio. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Portfolio and providing services to investors.

The Plans require the payment of a monthly combined distribution and service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares of the Portfolio. Also under the Plans, the Portfolio pays a monthly service fee at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio and the payment of a monthly distribution fee at the maximum annual rate of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily

net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares of the Portfolio, respectively.

Sales Charges

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Portfolio shares were $372,925 for Class A, $6,943 for Class B and $1,538 for Class C shares for the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Portfolio's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Portfolio's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:

Class Z

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Portfolio, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, the Portfolio's investment management fee, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.

Note 4. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $644,851,000, and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Management of the Portfolio has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $10,954,952 and $38,896,829, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Note 6. Shareholder Concentration

At July 31, 2013, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 25.9% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such account. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 13.3% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Portfolio.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Note 7. Line of Credit

The Portfolio has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Portfolio may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Portfolio and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing.

The Portfolio had no borrowings during the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Note 8. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 9. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings

In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class

actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Columbia LifeGoal® Growth Portfolio

Approval of Investment Management
Services Agreement

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management or the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Columbia LifeGoal Growth Portfolio (the Fund). Under an investment management services agreement (the IMS Agreement), Columbia Management provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).

On an annual basis, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the IMS Agreement. Columbia Management prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in January, March and April 2013, including reports based on analyses of data provided by an independent organization (Lipper) and a comprehensive response to each item of information requested by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) in a letter to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. All of the materials presented in January, March and April were first supplied in draft form to designated representatives of the Independent Trustees, i.e., Independent Legal Counsel, Fund Counsel, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Contracts Committee, and the final materials (including proposed additional breakpoints in IMS fees for certain Funds) were revised to reflect discussion and subsequent requests made by the Contracts Committee. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel, and reviews information prepared by Columbia Management addressing the services Columbia Management provides and Fund performance. Further, the Board retained an independent consulting firm, Bobroff Consulting (the Independent Consultant), to assist the Independent Trustees in their review of IMS fees, expense caps and Ameriprise Financial's profitability. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the IMS Agreement.

The Board, at its April 15-17, 2013 in-person Board meeting (the April Meeting), considered the renewal of the IMS Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the April Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board's consideration of advisory agreements and the Board's legal responsibilities related to such consideration. Following an analysis and discussion of the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the IMS Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Columbia Management

The Independent Trustees analyzed various reports and presentations they had received detailing the services performed by Columbia Management, as well as its expertise, resources and capabilities. The Independent Trustees specifically considered many developments during the past year concerning the services provided by Columbia Management, including, in particular, the recent globalization initiative, which fosters increased worldwide investment support of global products, continued investment in upgrading technology (such as the implementation of new systems and hardware), the hiring of a Chief Interest Rate Strategist as part of Columbia Management's fixed income team and the addition of Columbia Management investment personnel to the Asset Allocation, Quantitative and Technology teams. The Independent Trustees noted the information they received concerning Columbia Management's ability to retain its key portfolio management personnel. In this regard, the Independent Trustees took into account their comprehensive discussions with Columbia Management's Chief Investment Officer (the CIO), observing the organizational depth of Columbia Management and the capabilities of its investment personnel. The Independent Trustees also recalled the information the CIO provided them identifying the strengths and areas for enhancement of each Columbia Management investment team, as well as the discussion with the CIO regarding the investment personnel talent being infused to enhance support for certain Funds. The Independent Trustees also observed the materials demonstrating the strength and depth of Columbia Management's equity and fixed income research departments.

In connection with the Board's evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Columbia Management, the Board also considered the quality of administrative services provided to the Fund by Columbia Management, recalling the information it received highlighting significant achievements in 2012 in the performance of administrative services (such as strong accounting performance measures, refined derivatives processing and enhancements to the electronic communications under the affiliated and unaffiliated service provider oversight program). In evaluating the quality of services provided under the IMS Agreement and the Fund's Administrative Services Agreement, the Independent Trustees also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund's and its service providers' compliance programs. In

Services Agreement
(continued)

addition, the Board also reviewed the financial condition of Columbia Management (and its affiliates) and each entity's ability to carry out its responsibilities under the IMS Agreement and the Fund's other services agreements with affiliates of Ameriprise Financial, observing the financial strength of Ameriprise Financial, with its solid balance sheet. The Board also discussed the acceptability of the terms of the IMS Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by Columbia Management). The Board concluded that the services being performed under the IMS Agreement were of a reasonably high quality.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written, including the information on investment performance referenced below) and other considerations, the Board concluded that Columbia Management and its affiliates were in a position to continue to provide a high quality and level of services to the Fund.

Investment Performance

For purposes of evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the IMS Agreement, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent organization showing, for various periods, the performance of the Fund, the performance of a benchmark index, the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group and the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund's investment performance was appropriate in light of the particular management style involved and the particular market environment.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Profits Realized by Columbia Management and its Affiliates from their Relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services to be provided under the IMS Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by an independent organization) showing a comparison of the Fund's expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund's contribution to Columbia Management's profitability.

The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that the level of fees should reflect a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with few defined exceptions) are generally in line with the "pricing philosophy" (i.e., that the total expense ratio of the Fund is no higher than the median expense ratio of funds in the same comparison universe of the Fund). In this connection, the Board also considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that: the Funds' expense cap philosophy of assuring that each Fund's total expense ratio is not above its peer universe median ratio is reasonable. The Board noted the rationale for according weight to the Fund's direct expenses, as opposed to its total expense ratios, which also include indirect expenses (i.e., the expenses incurred by the underlying Funds in which the Fund invests). In this regard, the Board noted that the Fund's direct and indirect total expense ratios generally approximate or are below the median ratio for the Fund's peer universe. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's investment management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services that the Fund receives.

The Board also considered the expected profitability of Columbia Management and its affiliates in connection with Columbia Management providing investment management services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board referred to a detailed profitability report, discussing the profitability to Columbia Management and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. In this regard, the Board observed that 2012 profitability approximates 2011 profitability and that, as was the case in 2011, 2012 profitability remained generally in line with (and, in many cases, lower than) the reported profitability of other asset management firms. Further, the Board considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that Columbia Management's profitability, particularly in comparison to industry competitors, was reasonable and not excessive. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to Columbia Management or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Funds should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. The Board concluded that profitability levels were reasonable.

Economies of Scale to be Realized

The Board also considered the economies of scale that might be realized by Columbia Management as the Fund grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit from such growth.

Based on the foregoing, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the investment management service fees were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative. On April 17, 2013, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the IMS Agreement.

President's Message

Dear Shareholders,

A return to volatility

Volatility returned to the financial markets in the second quarter of 2013, as uncertainty about the global economy, monetary policy and the impact of the sequester's spending cuts weighed on investors. Households advanced their spending but also allocated less to savings. Labor markets continued to crank out jobs at a steady pace, slowly reducing unemployment. Housing activity remained strong and retail sales were higher despite no real increase in income. The single weak spot was in the manufacturing sector, where activity slowed. While the consumer has weathered the domestic drag well, business has been closer to the global slowdown and effects of sequestration. Businesses remain very cautious, keeping inventories and staffs lean, and are planning for but not yet confident enough to make capital expenditures.

Against this backdrop, equities outperformed fixed income during the second quarter of 2013. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, and growth outperformed value except for in the large-cap sector. Outside the United States, foreign stock markets generally lost ground, with the most significant losses sustained by emerging markets.

Columbia Management to begin delivering summary prospectuses

Each Columbia fund is required to update its prospectus on an annual basis. Beginning with June 2013 prospectus updates, shareholders of Columbia retail mutual funds will start to receive a summary prospectus, rather than the full length (statutory) mutual fund prospectus they have received in the past.

>  Principal investment strategies, principal risks and performance information

>  Management information

>  Purchase and sale information

>  Tax information

Each fund's statutory prospectus will contain additional information about the fund and its risks. Both the statutory and summary prospectus will be updated each year, and will be available at columbiamanagement.com.

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Understanding Your Fund's Expenses

(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing Your Portfolio's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Portfolio during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Portfolio's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Portfolio's actual return) and then applies the Portfolio's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare with other funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the Portfolio's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Portfolio invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the effective expenses paid during the period column.

Compare With Other Funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Portfolio with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund's most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Effective expenses paid during the period and the Portfolio's effective annualized expense ratio include expenses borne directly to the class plus the Fund's pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by the underlying funds using the expense ratio of each class of the underlying funds as of the underlying fund's most recent shareholder report.

Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Fund categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Fund's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

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

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific  or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Financial Highlights

The following tables are intended to help you understand the Portfolio's financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any, and is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio (the Portfolio), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust (the Trust), is a diversified portfolio. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

The Portfolio is a "fund-of-funds" and invests in a combination of underlying affiliated funds* for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or an affiliate acts as investment manager or principal underwriter. The Portfolio may also invest in derivative securities. Columbia Management is the Investment Manager for the underlying affiliated funds.

*For information on the goals, investment strategies and risks of the underlying funds, please refer to the Portfolio's' most recent prospectus and the prospectuses of the underlying funds.

Portfolio Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Portfolio offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distribution in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.

Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. The Portfolio no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Portfolio's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Portfolio and

exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.

Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.

Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolio in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation

Investments in the underlying funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.

Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Derivative Instruments

The Portfolio invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset

19



Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Portfolio may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Portfolio to sell, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Portfolio to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. A Portfolio's risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by such Portfolio and the amount of any initial margin held by the counterparty. With exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Portfolio.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, each Portfolio 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 an agreement between a Portfolio and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's 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 (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that 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.

Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC 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 variation margin currently pledged by the Portfolio and/or the counterparty. 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 has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Portfolio's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Portfolio fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Portfolio also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Portfolio would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Portfolio does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to

Semiannual Report 2013
20



Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are OTC agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. These contracts are typically intended to be used to minimize the exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations during the period between the trade and settlement dates of the contract. The Portfolio utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Portfolio's securities, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another, and to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, and/or to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.

The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Portfolio will record a realized gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Portfolio's portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are exchange traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Portfolio bought and sold futures contracts to manage exposure to the securities market, and maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Portfolio bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Semiannual Report 2013

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Income Recognition

Income and capital gain distributions from the underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolio and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Portfolio are charged to the Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Portfolio on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

The Portfolio intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Portfolio intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Portfolio should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid semi-annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition, certain of the Portfolio's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolio's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Portfolio cannot be determined, and the Portfolio has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Management Fees

Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The Portfolio does not pay the Investment Manager a direct fee for these investment services.

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Portfolio invests. Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolio may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolio will vary.

Administration Fees

Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Portfolio Administrator. The Portfolio pays the Portfolio Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Other Expenses

Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Portfolio or the Board of Trustees (the Board), including: payments to a company providing limited administrative services to the Portfolio and the Board. That company's expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, other expenses paid to this company were $743.

Compensation of Board Members

Board members are compensated for their services to the Portfolio as set forth in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolio, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Portfolio or certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Portfolio's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Portfolio until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Transfer Agent Fees

Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a

Semiannual Report 2013

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Portfolio. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.

The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and also receives sub-transfer agency fees based on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Portfolio's shares maintained in omnibus accounts (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Portfolio (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees.

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the Portfolio's annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Class A

   

0.19

%

 

Class B

   

0.19

   

Class C

   

0.19

   

Class R

   

0.19

   

Class Z

   

0.19

   

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Portfolio's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended July 31, 2013, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $40.

Distribution and Service Fees

The Portfolio has an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Portfolio has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Portfolio. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Portfolio and providing services to investors.

The Plans require the payment of a monthly combined distribution and service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares of the Portfolio. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly service fee at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolio and the payment of a monthly distribution fee at the maximum annual rates of 0.75%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class B, Class C and Class R shares, respectively.

Sales Charges

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Portfolio shares were $1,931 for Class A, $229 for Class B and $9 for Class C shares for the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates

The Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), for the period disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Portfolio's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Portfolio's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:

Class R

Class Z

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Portfolio, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion

of which is specifically approved by the Board. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties.

Note 4. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.

At July 31, 2013, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was approximately $38,671,000 and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Unrealized appreciation

 

$

5,469,000

   

Unrealized depreciation

   

(140,000

)

 

Net unrealized appreciation

 

$

5,329,000

   

The following capital loss carryforward, determined as of January 31, 2013 may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:

Unlimited long-term

   

38,335,873

   

Total

Unlimited capital loss carryforwards are required to be utilized prior to any capital losses which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, capital loss carryforwards which carry an expiration date may be more likely to expire unused.

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. The Portfolio has elected to treat late year ordinary losses of $758,291 at January 31, 2013 as arising on February 1, 2013.

Management of the Portfolio has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Portfolio's federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal

years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 5. Portfolio Information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $3,971,840 and $11,507,298, respectively, for the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Note 6. Shareholder Concentration

At July 31, 2013, one unaffiliated shareholder account owned 49.1% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. The Portfolio has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such account. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 27.6% of the outstanding shares of the Portfolio. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Portfolio.

Note 7. Line of Credit

The Portfolio has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. whereby the Portfolio may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Portfolio and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing.

The Portfolio had no borrowings during the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Note 8. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 9. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings

In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing

Semiannual Report 2013
25



Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Board Consideration and Approval of
Advisory Agreement

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management or the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio (the Fund). Under an investment management services agreement (the IMS Agreement), Columbia Management provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).

On an annual basis, the Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the IMS Agreement. Columbia Management prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in January, March and April 2013, including reports based on analyses of data provided by an independent organization (Lipper) and a comprehensive response to each item of information requested by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) in a letter to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. All of the materials presented in January, March and April were first supplied in draft form to designated representatives of the Independent Trustees, i.e., Independent Legal Counsel, Fund Counsel, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Contracts Committee, and the final materials (including proposed additional breakpoints in IMS fees for certain Funds) were revised to reflect discussion and subsequent requests made by the Contracts Committee. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel, and reviews information prepared by Columbia Management addressing the services Columbia Management provides and Fund performance. Further, the Board retained an independent consulting firm, Bobroff Consulting (the Independent Consultant), to assist the Independent Trustees in their review of IMS fees, expense caps and Ameriprise Financial's profitability. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the IMS Agreement.

The Board, at its April 15-17, 2013 in-person Board meeting (the April Meeting), considered the renewal of the IMS Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the April Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board's consideration of advisory agreements and the Board's legal responsibilities related to such consideration. Following an analysis and discussion of the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the IMS Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Columbia Management

The Independent Trustees analyzed various reports and presentations they had received detailing the services performed by Columbia Management, as well as its expertise, resources and capabilities. The Independent Trustees specifically considered many developments during the past year concerning the services provided by Columbia Management, including, in particular, the recent globalization initiative, which fosters increased worldwide investment support of global products, continued investment in upgrading technology (such as the implementation of new systems and hardware), the hiring of a Chief Interest Rate Strategist as part of Columbia Management's fixed income team and the addition of Columbia Management investment personnel to the Asset Allocation, Quantitative and Technology teams. The Independent Trustees noted the information they received concerning Columbia Management's ability to retain its key portfolio management personnel. In this regard, the Independent Trustees took into account their comprehensive discussions with Columbia Management's Chief Investment Officer (the CIO), observing the organizational depth of Columbia Management and the capabilities of its investment personnel. The Independent Trustees also recalled the information the CIO provided them identifying the strengths and areas for enhancement of each Columbia Management investment team, as well as the discussion with the CIO regarding the investment personnel talent being infused to enhance support for certain Funds. The Independent Trustees also observed the materials demonstrating the strength and depth of Columbia Management's equity and fixed income research departments.

In connection with the Board's evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Columbia Management, the Board also considered the quality of administrative services provided to the Fund by Columbia Management, recalling the information it received highlighting significant achievements in 2012 in the performance of administrative services (such as strong accounting performance measures, refined derivatives processing and enhancements to the electronic communications under the affiliated and unaffiliated service provider oversight program). In evaluating the quality of services provided under the IMS Agreement and the Fund's Administrative Services Agreement, the Independent Trustees also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund's and its service providers' compliance programs. In

Semiannual Report 2013

Columbia Masters International Equity Portfolio

Board Consideration and Approval of
Advisory Agreement
(continued)

addition, the Board also reviewed the financial condition of Columbia Management (and its affiliates) and each entity's ability to carry out its responsibilities under the IMS Agreement and the Fund's other services agreements with affiliates of Ameriprise Financial, observing the financial strength of Ameriprise Financial, with its solid balance sheet. The Board also discussed the acceptability of the terms of the IMS Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by Columbia Management). The Board concluded that the services being performed under the IMS Agreement were of a reasonably high quality.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written, including the information on investment performance referenced below) and other considerations, the Board concluded that Columbia Management and its affiliates were in a position to continue to provide a high quality and level of services to the Fund.

Investment Performance

For purposes of evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services provided under the IMS Agreement, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund. In this regard, the Board considered detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent organization showing, for various periods, the performance of the Fund, the performance of a benchmark index, the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group and the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund's investment performance met expectations.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Profits Realized by Columbia Management and its Affiliates from their Relationships with the Fund

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services to be provided under the IMS Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by an independent organization) showing a comparison of the Fund's expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund's contribution to Columbia Management's profitability.

The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that the level of fees should reflect a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with few defined exceptions) are generally in line with the "pricing philosophy" (i.e., that the total expense ratio of the Fund is no higher than the median expense ratio of funds in the same comparison universe of the Fund). In this connection, the Board also considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that: the Funds' expense cap philosophy of assuring that each Fund's total expense ratio is not above its peer universe median ratio is reasonable. The Board noted the rationale for according weight to the Fund's direct expenses, as opposed to its total expense ratios, which also include indirect expenses (i.e., the expenses incurred by the underlying Funds in which the Fund invests). In this regard, the Board noted that the Fund's direct and indirect total expense ratios generally approximate or are below the median ratio for the Fund's peer universe. Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Fund's investment management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services that the Fund receives.

The Board also considered the expected profitability of Columbia Management and its affiliates in connection with Columbia Management providing investment management services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board referred to a detailed profitability report, discussing the profitability to Columbia Management and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. In this regard, the Board observed that 2012 profitability approximates 2011 profitability and that, as was the case in 2011, 2012 profitability remained generally in line with (and, in many cases, lower than) the reported profitability of other asset management firms. Further, the Board considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that Columbia Management's profitability, particularly in comparison to industry competitors, was reasonable and not excessive. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to Columbia Management or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Funds should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. The Board concluded that profitability levels were reasonable.

Economies of Scale to be Realized

Given that the Fund does not pay any investment management services fees, the Board determined not to accord weight to the lack of any material economies of scale associated with the growth of the Fund.

Based on the foregoing, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the investment management service fees were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative. On April 17, 2013, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the IMS Agreement.

President's Message

Dear Shareholders,

A return to volatility

Volatility returned to the financial markets in the second quarter of 2013, as uncertainty about the global economy, monetary policy and the impact of the sequester's spending cuts weighed on investors. Households advanced their spending but also allocated less to savings. Labor markets continued to crank out jobs at a steady pace, slowly reducing unemployment. Housing activity remained strong and retail sales were higher despite no real increase in income. The single weak spot was in the manufacturing sector, where activity slowed. While the consumer has weathered the domestic drag well, business has been closer to the global slowdown and effects of sequestration. Businesses remain very cautious, keeping inventories and staffs lean, and are planning for but not yet confident enough to make capital expenditures.

Against this backdrop, equities outperformed fixed income during the second quarter of 2013. Small-cap stocks outperformed large- and mid-cap stocks, and growth outperformed value except for in the large-cap sector. Outside the United States, foreign stock markets generally lost ground, with the most significant losses sustained by emerging markets.

Columbia Management to begin delivering summary prospectuses

Each Columbia fund is required to update its prospectus on an annual basis.

Returns for Class A are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%. Returns for Class B and are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Portfolio's other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Portfolio's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Portfolio expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.

*  The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Portfolio, if shown, which are since Portfolio inception) include the returns of the Portfolio's oldest share class. Since the Portfolio launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit columbiamanagement.com/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information.

**  From February 29, 2004.

The Blended Index consists of 66% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 15% Russell 3000 Index, 10% Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, 5% MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged net) and 4% Barclays High Yield Corporate Bond Index. On June 20, 2013, the Portfolio altered the composition of the Blended Index. The Portfolio's Investment Manager made this recommendation to the Portfolio's Board that the new Blended Index provides a more appropriate Portfolio performance comparison than the prior blended index. The Citigroup 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index and the MSCI EAFE Index (Gross) are no longer included as standalone benchmarks for Portfolio performance comparison purposes.

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

The Russell 3000 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Portfolio may not match those in an index.

Returns for Class B and are shown with and without the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 5.00% in the first year, declining to 1.00% in the sixth year and eliminated thereafter. Returns for Class C are shown with and without the 1.00% CDSC for the first year only. The Portfolio's other classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Portfolio's prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Portfolio expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.

The performance information shown represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial intermediary, visiting columbiamanagement.com or calling 800.345.6611.

*The returns shown for periods prior to the share class inception date (including returns for the Life of the Portfolio, if shown, which are since Portfolio inception) include the returns of the Portfolio's oldest share class. Since the Portfolio launched more than one share class at its inception, Class A shares were used. These returns are adjusted to reflect any higher class-related operating expenses of the newer share classes, as applicable. Please visit columbiamanagement.com/mutual-funds/appended-performance for more information.

The Blended Index consists of 49% Russell 3000 Index, 28.5% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, 12% MSCI EAFE Index (unhedged net) and 6.5% Barclays High Yield Corporate Bond Index and 4% MCSI Emerging Markets Index (net). On June 20, 2013, the Portfolio added a Blended Index for Portfolio comparison purposes. The Portfolio's Investment Manager made this recommendation to the Portfolio's Board that the new Blended Index provides a more appropriate basis for comparing the Portfolio's performance.

Effective June 20, 2013, the S&P 500 Index will no longer be a benchmark for the Portfolio's performance. The S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of 500 widely held, large-capitalization U.S. stocks and is frequently used as a general measure of market performance.

The Russell 3000 Index, an unmanaged index, measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market, including Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities (agency fixed-rate and hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage passthroughs), asset-backed securities, and commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Portfolio may not match those in an index.

Understanding Your Portfolio's Expenses

(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to help you compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Analyzing Your Portfolio's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Portfolio during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Portfolio's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount 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 results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Portfolio's actual return) and then applies the Portfolio's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Portfolio bears directly, the Portfolio's shareholders indirectly bear the Portfolio's allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Portfolio invests. You can also estimate the effective expenses paid during the period, which includes the indirect fees associated with investing in the underlying funds, by using the amounts listed in the effective expenses paid during the period column.

Compare With Other Funds

Since all mutual funds are required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Portfolio with other funds. To do so, compare the hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair Value Measurements (continued)

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

(e)  The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at July 31, 2013.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with

members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

(a) Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at July 31, 2013 was $(272).

The Portfolio does not hold any significant investments with unobservable inputs which are categorized as Level 3.

The Portfolio's assets assigned to the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain common stock classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the market approach. To determine fair value for these securities, management considered various factors which may have included, but were not limited to, the halt price of the security, the movement in observed market prices for other securities from the issuer, the movement in certain foreign or domestic market indices, and the position of the security within the respective company's capital structure. Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category.

The Portfolio categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Portfolio's assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is deemed significant to the asset or liability's fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.

Fair value inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

>  Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Portfolio has the ability to access at the measurement date (including NAV for open-end mutual funds). Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

>  Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).

>  Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Portfolio uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Investment Manager. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

Under the direction of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager's Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for carrying out the valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager's organization, including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

For investments categorized as Level 3, the Committee monitors information similar to that described above, which may include: (i) data specific to the issuer or comparable issuers, (ii) general market or specific sector news and (iii) quoted prices and specific or similar security transactions. The Committee considers this data and any changes from prior periods in order to assess the reasonableness of observable and unobservable inputs, any assumptions or internal models used to value those securities and changes in fair value. This data is also used to corroborate, when available, information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers. Various factors impact the frequency of monitoring this information (which may occur as often as daily). However, the Committee may determine that changes to inputs, assumptions and models are not required as a result of the monitoring procedures performed.

Financial Highlights

Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio

The following tables are intended to help you understand the Portfolio's financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any, and is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust and Columbia Funds Series Trust II (each a Trust and collectively, the Trusts) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment companies. Columbia Funds Series Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and Columbia Funds Series Trust II is organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following series of the Trusts (each a Portfolio and collectively, the Portfolios): Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio, each a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust, and Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio, and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio, each a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II. Each Portfolio currently operates as a diversified fund.

Each Portfolio is a "fund-of-funds" and invests in a combination of underlying affiliated funds* for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or an affiliate acts as investment manager or principal underwriter. Each Portfolio may also invest in unaffiliated underlying funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), equity and fixed income securities (including treasury inflation protected securities (TIPs)) and derivative instruments. Columbia Management is the Investment Manager for the underlying affiliated funds.

* For information on the goals, investment strategies and risks of the underlying funds please refer to the Portfolio's most recent prospectus and the prospectuses of the underlying funds.

Portfolio Shares

Each Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value) that can be allocated among the separate series as designated by the Board of Trustees (the Board).

Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio each offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class Y and Class Z shares. Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class T, Class Y and Class Z shares. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each class votes separately when required by law.

Different share classes pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of such share classes differ, and distributions in liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

Class A shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.75% for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio. Class A shares of Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the initial investment amount. Class A shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase.

Class B shares may be subject to a maximum CDSC of 5.00% based upon the holding period after purchase. Class B shares will generally convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Each Portfolio no longer accepts investments by new or existing investors in the Portfolio's Class B shares, except in connection with the reinvestment of any dividend and/or capital gain distributions in Class B shares of the Portfolio and exchanges by existing Class B shareholders of certain other funds within the Columbia Family of Funds.

Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on shares redeemed within one year of purchase.

Class K shares are not subject to sales charges and are closed to new investors. Class K shares of Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio commenced operations on February 28, 2013.

Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans and other eligible investors.

Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to omnibus retirement plans and certain other eligible investors. Class R4 shares of Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio commenced operations on June 13, 2013.

Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to investors purchasing through

authorized investment professionals and omnibus retirement plans. Class R5 of Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio commenced operations on June 13, 2013.

Class T shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75% based on the investment amount. Class T shares purchased without an initial sales charge in accounts aggregating $1 million to $50 million at the time of purchase are subject to a CDSC if the shares are sold within 18 months of purchase, charged as follows: 1.00% CDSC if redeemed within 12 months of purchase, and 0.50% CDSC if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase. Class T shares are available only to investors who received (and who have continuously held) Class T shares in connection with the merger of certain Galaxy Funds into various Columbia Funds (formerly named Liberty Funds).

Class Y shares are not subject to sales charges and are generally available only to certain retirement plans. Class Y shares of each Portfolio commenced operations on June 13, 2013.

Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges and are available only to certain eligible investors, which are subject to different investment minimums.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security Valuation

Investments in the underlying funds are valued at the net asset value of each class of the respective underlying fund determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on the valuation date.

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees (the Board) based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units

of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter (OTC) or exchange bid quotation.

All equity securities are valued at the close of business of the NYSE. Equity securities are valued at the last quoted sales price on the principal exchange or market on which they trade, except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, which are valued at the NASDAQ official close price. Unlisted securities or listed securities for which there were no sales during the day are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets.

Foreign equity securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If any foreign share prices are not readily available as a result of limited share activity the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at 4:00 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) time. However, many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the NYSE; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the NYSE. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to the policy adopted by the Board, including utilizing a third party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the NYSE. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.

Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the last quoted market price for the security.

Semiannual Report 2013

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

The determination of fair value often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used to determine fair value.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations

The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at that day's exchange rates. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Portfolios do not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative Instruments

The Portfolio invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Portfolio may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Portfolio to sell, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Portfolio to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

A derivative instrument may suffer a mark to market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform

under the contract. A Portfolio's 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 Portfolio and the amount of any initial margin held by the counterparty. With exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio since the exchange's clearinghouse, as counterparty to such instruments, guarantees against a possible default. The clearinghouse stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, the counterparty credit risk is limited to failure of the clearinghouse. However, credit risk still exists in exchange traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker's customer accounts. While brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker for all its clients, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker's customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Portfolio.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Portfolio mitigate its counterparty risk, the Portfolio 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 an agreement between a Portfolio and a counterparty that governs OTC derivatives and forward foreign currency exchange contracts 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, the Portfolio may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instrument's 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 (close-out netting) including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that 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.

Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the exchange or clearinghouse for exchange traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For OTC derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to

Semiannual Report 2013
118



Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Portfolio and/or the counterparty. 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 has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Portfolio from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Portfolio bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Portfolio attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event the Portfolio's net assets decline by a stated percentage over a specified time period or the Portfolio fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Portfolio to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Portfolio also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet the terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In addition to considering counterparty credit risk, the Portfolio would consider terminating the derivative contracts based on whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

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

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are exchange traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Portfolios bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Portfolio versus the benchmark, manage exposure to movements in interest rates, manage exposure to the securities market, and maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Portfolio bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying asset.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio pledges cash or securities with the broker in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Portfolio each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Treasury Inflation Protected Securities

Each Portfolio may invest in treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. Interest payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid. These adjustments are recorded as interest income in the Statements of Operations.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

Income Recognition

Income and capital gain distributions from the underlying funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.

Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Portfolios, respectively, and other series of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to such Portfolio. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

All income, expenses (other than class-specific expenses which are charged directly to that share class, as shown in the Statements of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of a Portfolio on a daily basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal Income Tax Status

For federal income tax purposes, each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity. The Portfolios intend to qualify each year as separate regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of their taxable income for their tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Portfolios intend to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of their net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Portfolios should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio. Distribution from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually for Columbia

Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed along with the income dividend. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents and, in some cases by contract, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its Portfolios. In addition, certain of the Portfolios' contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Portfolios' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Portfolios cannot be determined, and the Portfolios have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Management Fees and Underlying Portfolio Fees

Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, the Investment Manager determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The investment management fee for the Portfolios is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.00% on assets invested in Columbia proprietary funds that pay an investment advisory fee to the Investment Manager, (ii) 0.10% on assets invested in non-exchange traded third-party advised mutual funds and (iii) 0.55% on assets invested in all other securities, including other funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay an investment advisory fee, ETF's, derivatives and individual securities.

Prior to March 1, 2013, Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio did not pay the Investment Manager a direct investment management fee for managing its assets.

The annualized effective investment management fee rates, net of any waivers, based on each Portfolio's average daily net assets for the six months ended July 31, 2013 were as follows:

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Portfolios bear directly, the Portfolios indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Portfolios invest. Because the underlying funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Portfolios may own different proportions of underlying funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Portfolios will vary.

Administration Fees

Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Portfolio Administrator. Each Portfolio pays the Portfolio Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to 0.02% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets.

Other Expenses

Other expenses are for, among other things, miscellaneous expenses of the Portfolios or the Board, including payments to a company providing limited administrative services to the Portfolios and the Board. That company's expenses include boardroom and office expense, employee compensation, employee health and retirement benefits, and certain other expenses. For the six month ended July 31, 2013, other expenses paid to this company were:

Compensation of Board Members

Board members are compensated for their services to the Portfolios as disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan), the Board members who are not "interested persons" of the Portfolios, as defined under the 1940 Act, may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. Each Portfolio's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Portfolios until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Transfer Agent Fees

Under a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a

wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for providing transfer agency services to the Portfolio. The Transfer Agent has contracted with Boston Financial Data Services (BFDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent.

The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed by the Portfolios for the fees and expenses the Transfer Agent pays to financial intermediaries that maintain omnibus accounts with the Portfolios that is a percentage of the average aggregate value of each Portfolio's shares maintained in each such omnibus account (other than omnibus accounts for which American Enterprise Investment Services Inc. is the broker of record or accounts where the beneficial shareholder is a customer of Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc., which are paid a per account fee). The Transfer Agent pays the fees of BFDS for services as sub-transfer agent and is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Portfolios (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from fees for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agent fees for Class K and Class R5 shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.05% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. Beginning June 13, 2013, Class Y shares are not subject to transfer agent fees for at least twelve months.

For the six months ended July 31, 2013, the Portfolios' annualized effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

July 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Portfolios' initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statements of Operations.

For the six months ended July 31, 2013 these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses as follows:

Plan Administration Fees

Under a Plan Administration Services Agreement with the Transfer Agent, each Portfolio pays an annual fee at a rate of 0.25% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class K shares for the provision of various administrative, recordkeeping, communication and educational services.

Distribution and Service Fees

The Portfolios have an agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder services. Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, the Board has approved, and the Portfolios have adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) which set the distribution and service fees for the Portfolios. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Portfolios and providing services to investors.

Under the Plans, each Portfolio pays a monthly fee to the Distributor at the annual rates of up to 0.25% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares, up to 1.00% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares and up to 0.50% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares (of which up to 0.25% may be used for shareholder services for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio).

For Class B and Class C shares of the Portfolios, of the 1.00% fee, up to 0.75% is reimbursed for distribution expenses. The amount of distribution expenses incurred by the Distributor

and not yet reimbursed (unreimbursed expense) for each Portfolio was approximately as follows:

These amounts are based on the most recent information available as of June 30, 2013, and may be recovered from future payments under the distribution plan or CDSCs. To the extent the unreimbursed expense has been fully recovered, the distribution fee is reduced.

Shareholder Services Fees

Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio has adopted a shareholder services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class T shareholders by their selling and/or servicing agents. The Portfolio may pay shareholder servicing fees up to an aggregate annual rate of 0.50% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares (comprised of up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services and up to 0.25% for administrative support services). These fees are currently limited to an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.30% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares. The annualized shareholder services fees for the six months ended July 31, 2013 was 0.30% of the Portfolio's average daily net assets attributable to Class T shares.

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Portfolios, if applicable: taxes (including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange traded funds), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, extraordinary expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board. Effective March 1, 2013, the investment management fee is also excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment for Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital allocation Moderate Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio only and is therefore paid by the Portfolios. For Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio, each Portfolio's investment management fee is also excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment and is therefore paid by the Portfolios. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from all parties. Reorganization (see Note 8) costs, if any, were allocated to the Portfolios only to

Management of the Portfolios has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management's conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Portfolios' federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 7. Line of Credit

Each Portfolio has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. whereby the Portfolios may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Portfolios and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing.

No Portfolio had borrowings during the six months ended July 31, 2013.

Note 8. Fund Merger

Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio

At the close of business on March 15, 2013, Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of Columbia Portfolio Builder Moderate Conservative Fund, a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust II (the acquired fund). The reorganization was completed after shareholders of the acquired fund approved the plan on February 27, 2013. The purpose of the transaction was to combine two funds managed by the Investment Manager with comparable investment objectives and strategies.

The aggregate net assets of the Portfolios immediately before the acquisition were $126,099,791 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisition were $728,747,564.

The merger was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 53,696,442 shares of the acquired fund valued at $602,647,773 (including $53,201,190 of unrealized appreciation).

Note 9. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Note 10. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings

In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the

Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an independent distribution consultant to assist in developing a plan for distribution of all disgorgement and civil penalties ordered by the SEC in accordance with various undertakings detailed at www.sec.gov/litigation/admin/ia-2451.pdf. Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates have cooperated with the SEC and the MDOC in these legal proceedings, and have made regular reports to the funds' Boards of Trustees.

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates have historically been involved in a number of legal, arbitration and regulatory proceedings, including routine litigation, class actions, and governmental actions, concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of their business activities. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make 10-Q, 10-K and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased fund redemptions, reduced sale of fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Funds. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial.

Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Approval of Investment Management Services Agreement

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (Columbia Management or the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves as the investment manager to each Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios (each, a Series Fund and collectively, the Series Funds). Under an investment management services agreement with respect to each Series Funds, (each, an IMS Agreement), Columbia Management provides investment advice and other services to each of the Series Funds and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).

On an annual basis, each Series Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of each IMS Agreement. Columbia Management prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee in January, March and April 2013, including reports based on analyses of data provided by an independent organization (Lipper) and a comprehensive response to each item of information requested by independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) in a letter to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. All of the materials presented in January, March and April were first supplied in draft form to designated representatives of the Independent Trustees, i.e., Independent Legal Counsel, Fund Counsel, the Chair of the Board and the Chair of the Contracts Committee, and the final materials (including proposed additional breakpoints in IMS fees for certain Funds) were revised to reflect discussion and subsequent requests made by the Contracts Committee. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel, and reviews information prepared by Columbia Management addressing the services Columbia Management provides and each Series Fund's performance. Further, the Board retained an independent consulting firm, Bobroff Consulting (the Independent Consultant), to assist the Independent Trustees in their review of IMS fees, expense caps and Ameriprise Financial's profitability. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue each IMS Agreement.

The Board, at its April 15-17, 2013 in-person Board meeting (the April Meeting), considered the renewal of the IMS Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the April Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various factors relevant to the Board's consideration of advisory agreements and the Board's legal responsibilities related to such consideration. Following an analysis and discussion of the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each IMS Agreement.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Columbia Management

The Independent Trustees analyzed various reports and presentations they had received detailing the services performed by Columbia Management, as well as its expertise, resources and capabilities. The Independent Trustees specifically considered many developments during the past year concerning the services provided by Columbia Management, including, in particular, the recent globalization initiative, which fosters increased worldwide investment support of global products, continued investment in upgrading technology (such as the implementation of new systems and hardware), the hiring of a Chief Interest Rate Strategist as part of Columbia Management's fixed income team and the addition of Columbia Management investment personnel to the Asset Allocation, Quantitative and Technology teams. The Independent Trustees noted the information they received concerning Columbia Management's ability to retain its key portfolio management personnel. In this regard, the Independent Trustees took into account their comprehensive discussions with Columbia Management's Chief Investment Officer (the CIO), observing the organizational depth of Columbia Management and the capabilities of its investment personnel. The Independent Trustees also recalled the information the CIO provided them identifying the strengths and areas for enhancement of each Columbia Management investment team, as well as the discussion with the CIO regarding the investment personnel talent being infused to enhance support for certain Funds. The Independent Trustees also observed the materials demonstrating the strength and depth of Columbia Management's equity and fixed income research departments.

In connection with the Board's evaluation of the overall package of services provided by Columbia Management, the Board also considered the quality of administrative services provided to the Series Funds by Columbia Management, recalling the information it received highlighting significant achievements in 2012 in the performance of administrative services (such as strong accounting performance measures, refined derivatives processing and enhancements to the electronic communications under the affiliated and unaffiliated service provider oversight program). In evaluating the quality of services provided under each IMS Agreement and the Series Funds' Administrative Services Agreement, the Independent

Semiannual Report 2013
130



Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Approval of Investment Management Services Agreement (continued)

Trustees also took into account the organization and strength of each Series Fund and their service providers' compliance programs. In addition, the Board also reviewed the financial condition of Columbia Management (and its affiliates) and each entity's ability to carry out its responsibilities under each IMS Agreement and the Series Funds' other services agreements with affiliates of Ameriprise Financial, observing the financial strength of Ameriprise Financial, with its solid balance sheet. The Board also discussed the acceptability of the terms of each IMS Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by Columbia Management). The Board concluded that the services being performed under the IMS Agreement were of a reasonably high quality.

Based on the foregoing, and based on other information received (both oral and written, including the information on investment performance referenced below) and other considerations, the Board concluded that Columbia Management and its affiliates were in a position to continue to provide a high quality and level of services to each Series Fund.

Investment Performance

For purposes of evaluating the nature, extent and quality of services provided under each IMS Agreement, the Board carefully reviewed the investment performance of each Series Fund. In this regard, the Board considered detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent organization showing, for various periods, the performance of each Series Fund, the performance of a benchmark index, the percentage ranking of each Fund among its comparison group and the net assets of each Fund. For Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio, Columbia Capital Allocation Aggressive Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Portfolio, the Board observed that each Portfolio's investment performance met expectations. For Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Aggressive Portfolio and Columbia Capital Allocation Conservative Portfolio, the Board observed that each Portfolio's investment performance was appropriate in light of the particular management style involved and the particular market environment. The Board observed that appropriate steps (such as changes to the management team) had been taken or are contemplated to help improve the Portfolio's performance.

Comparative Fees, Costs of Services Provided and the Profits Realized By Columbia Management and its Affiliates from their Relationships with the Series Funds

The Board reviewed comparative fees and the costs of services to be provided under each IMS Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things, data (based on analyses conducted by an independent organization) showing a comparison of each Series Fund's expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Series Fund's contribution to Columbia Management's profitability.

The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that the level of fees should reflect a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with few defined exceptions) are generally in line with the "pricing philosophy" (i.e., that the total expense ratio of the Fund is no higher than the median expense ratio of funds in the same comparison universe of the Fund). In this connection, the Board also considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that the Funds' expense cap philosophy of assuring that each Portfolio's total expense ratio is not above its peer universe median ratio is reasonable. The Board noted the rationale for according weight to each Series Fund's direct expenses, as opposed to its total expense ratios, which also include indirect expenses (i.e., the expenses incurred by the underlying Funds in which each Series Fund invests). In this regard, the Board noted that each Series Fund's direct and indirect total expense ratios generally approximate or are below the median ratio for each Series Fund's peer universe. Based on its review, the Board concluded that each Series Fund's investment management fee was fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services that the Fund receives.

The Board also considered the expected profitability of Columbia Management and its affiliates in connection with Columbia Management providing investment management services to each of the Series Funds. In this regard, the Board referred to a detailed profitability report, discussing the profitability to Columbia Management and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Series Funds. In this regard, the Board observed that 2012 profitability approximates 2011 profitability and that, as was the case in 2011, 2012 profitability remained generally in line with (and, in many cases, lower than) the reported profitability of other asset management firms. Further, the Board considered the Independent Consultant's report that concluded that Columbia Management's profitability, particularly in comparison to

131



Columbia Capital Allocation Portfolios

Approval of Investment Management Services Agreement (continued)

industry competitors, was reasonable and not excessive. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to Columbia Management or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by each Series Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. The Board concluded that profitability levels were reasonable.

Economies of Scale to be Realized

Given that each Series Fund primarily invests in Columbia Management proprietary funds and that each Series Fund pays a flat rate IMS fee on its investments outside of Columbia Management proprietary funds, the Board did not accord weight to the lack of any material economies of scale associated with growth of each Series Fund.

Based on the foregoing, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the investment management service fees were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided. In reaching this conclusion, no single factor was determinative. On April 17, 2013, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each IMS Agreement.
