Under this agreement, the Fund’s net operating expenses, subject to applicable exclusions, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.51% for Class A, 1.26% for Class B, 1.26% for Class C, 0.43% for Class K, 0.76% for Class R, 0.26% for Class R4, 0.18% for Class R5, 0.13% for Class Y and 0.26% for Class Z. |
Example
The following example is intended to help
you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over the time periods indicated, and assumes that:
| ■ | you invest $10,000 in the applicable class of Fund shares for the periods indicated, |
| ■ | your investment has a 5% return each year, and |
| ■ | the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expense table above. |
| 1 | Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio |
Since the waivers and/or reimbursements
shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above expire as indicated in the preceding table, they are only reflected in the 1 year example and the first year of the other examples. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on
the assumptions listed above, your costs would be:
| 1 year | 3 years | 5 years | 10 years | |
| Class A (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $687 | $949 | $1,231 | $2,032 |
| Class B (assuming redemption of all shares at the end of the period) | $695 | $928 | $1,287 | $2,167 |
| Class B (assuming no redemption of shares) | $195 | $628 | $1,087 | $2,167 |
| Class C (assuming redemption of all shares at the end of the period) | $295 | $628 | $1,087 | $2,359 |
| Class C (assuming no redemption of shares) | $195 | $628 | $1,087 | $2,359 |
| Class K (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $111 | $364 | $ 636 | $1,413 |
| Class R (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $145 | $475 | $ 828 | $1,824 |
| Class R4 (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $ 94 | $319 | $ 562 | $1,260 |
| Class R5 (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $ 86 | $285 | $ 501 | $1,124 |
| Class Y (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $ 81 | $270 | $ 474 | $1,065 |
| Class Z (whether or not shares are redeemed) | $ 94 | $319 | $ 562 | $1,260 |
Portfolio Turnover
The Fund and underlying funds pay transaction costs, such as
commissions, when they buy and sell securities (or “turn over” their portfolios). The Fund will indirectly bear the expenses associated with portfolio turnover of the underlying funds. An underlying fund’s higher portfolio turnover
rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate
was 38% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal
Investment Strategies
The Fund is primarily managed as a
fund that invests in other funds (i.e., a “fund of funds”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing under normal circumstances in a combination of underlying funds for which Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC
(the Investment Manager) or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or principal underwriter (the affiliated underlying funds). The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in other funds, including third-party advised (unaffiliated) funds
and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (collectively with the affiliated underlying funds, the Underlying Funds), equity securities, fixed income securities (including treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS)) and derivative instruments (the 20%
Sleeve). The Fund’s derivative investments may include forward foreign currency contracts and futures (including currency, equity, fixed income, index and interest rate futures). Derivative positions may be established to seek incremental
earnings, hedge existing positions, increase market or credit exposure, increase investment flexibility (including using the derivative position as a substitute for the purchase or sale of the underlying security, currency or other instrument)
and/or to change the effective duration of the Fund’s portfolio. Collectively, these investments (including through investments in derivatives) provide the Fund with exposure to equity, fixed income, and cash/cash equivalent asset classes. The
Fund may also pursue alternative investment strategies (alternative strategies), including those that seek investment returns uncorrelated to the broad equity and fixed income markets, as well as those providing exposure to other markets, including
but not limited to absolute (positive) return strategies.
The Fund may invest in Underlying Funds categorized as
“fixed income”, “equity”, “cash/cash equivalents”, and “alternative strategies”, which may represent indirect investments in various sectors, asset classes, strategies and markets. Under normal
circumstances, the Fund emphasizes investments in Underlying Funds categorized as fixed income, which can include those that invest in TIPs, U.S. treasury bonds and notes, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, investment grade corporate
bonds, high yield bonds (junk bonds), high yield loans and international bonds (including those of issuers in developed and emerging markets), which may have varying interest rates, terms, duration and credit exposure. The Fund may also invest in
Underlying Funds categorized as equity, including those that invest in equity securities representing different investment styles (e.g., growth, value and core/blend), market capitalizations (large-, mid- and small-cap), geographic focus (domestic
and international, including emerging markets) and sector focus (e.g., real estate, technology, infrastructure and natural resources). The Underlying Funds categorized as alternative strategies include those that employ a variety of investment
strategies, techniques and practices, generally intended to have a low correlation to the performance of the broad equity and fixed income markets over a complete market cycle including but not limited to absolute (positive) return strategies.
Subject to the 20% Sleeve limitation described above, the Fund may also invest directly in equity securities, fixed income securities and derivative instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts and futures (including currency, equity,
fixed income, index and interest rate futures). By investing in a combination of Underlying Funds and other securities described in the 20% Sleeve, the Fund seeks to minimize the risks typically associated with investing in a traditional mutual
fund.
| Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | 2 |
Under normal market circumstances, the Fund may invest,
directly or indirectly, in each of equity, fixed income and cash/cash equivalent asset classes and alternative strategies (each, an asset class category and collectively, the asset class categories) within the following target asset allocation
ranges (includes investments in Underlying Funds and the other securities described in the 20% Sleeve):
| Asset Class Exposures | ||||
| Equity | Fixed Income | Cash/Cash
Equivalents |
Alternatives | |
| Moderate Conservative Portfolio | 0–55%* | 40–85%* | 0–40%* | 0–40%* |
| * | As a percent of Fund net assets. Ranges include the net notional amounts of a Fund’s direct investments in derivative instruments. Market appreciation or depreciation may cause a Fund to be temporarily outside the ranges identified in the table. The Investment Manager may modify the target allocation ranges only with the approval of a Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board). |
The Fund may be most appropriate for investors with a
short-to-intermediate term investment horizon.
Principal
Risks
An investment in the Fund involves risk. Principal
risks associated with an investment in the Fund include specific risks relating to the investment in the Fund based on its investment process, and certain general risks based on its “ fund-of-funds” structure, including those described
below. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective and you may lose money. The value of the Fund’s holdings may decline, and the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) and Fund
share price may go down.
Allocation Risk. The Fund uses an asset allocation strategy in pursuit of its investment objective. There is a risk that the Fund's allocation among asset classes, investments, managers, strategies and/or investment styles will
cause the Fund's shares to lose value or cause the Fund to underperform other funds with a similar investment objective and/or strategies, or that the investments themselves will not produce the returns expected.
Credit Risk. Credit risk
applies to most fixed income securities, but is generally less of a factor for obligations backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. It is the risk that the issuer of a fixed-income security may or will default or
otherwise become unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor a financial obligation, such as making payments to the Fund when due. If the Fund purchases unrated securities, or if the rating of a security is lowered after
purchase, the Fund will depend on analysis of credit risk more heavily than usual. Unrated securities held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated securities.
Derivatives Risk. Losses
involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small price movement in the underlying security(ies), instrument, commodity, currency or index may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for
increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund. Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to
additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk. Below is more detailed information on certain derivatives expected to be utilized by the Fund.
Derivatives Risk/Forward Foreign Currency Contracts Risk. These instruments are a type of derivative contract whereby the Fund may agree to buy or sell a country’s or region’s currency at a specific price on a specific date in the future. These contracts may fall
in value due to foreign market downswings or foreign currency value fluctuations. The Fund’s investment or hedging strategies may not achieve their objective. Investment in these instruments also subjects the Fund to counterparty
risk.
Derivatives Risk/Futures Contracts Risk. The loss that may be incurred in entering into futures contracts may exceed the amount of the premium paid and may be potentially unlimited. Futures markets are highly volatile and the use of futures may increase the
volatility of the Fund’s net asset value (NAV). Additionally, as a result of the low collateral deposits normally involved in futures trading, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in substantial losses to the
Fund. Futures contracts may be illiquid. Furthermore, exchanges may limit fluctuations in futures contract prices during a trading session by imposing a maximum permissible price movement on each futures contract. The Fund may be disadvantaged if it
is prohibited from executing a trade outside the daily permissible price movement. Futures contracts executed on foreign exchanges may not provide the same protection as U.S. exchanges. These transactions involve additional risks, including
counterparty risk, hedging risk and pricing risk.
Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Risk. ETFs are subject to, among other risks, tracking risk and passive and, in some cases, active investment risk. In addition, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of the Fund’ s expenses and similar
expenses incurred through ownership of the ETF.
Foreign Currency Risk. The
performance of the Fund may be materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other
assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
| 3 | Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio |
Foreign Securities Risk.
Investments in foreign securities involve certain risks not associated with investments in securities of U.S. companies. Foreign securities subject the Fund to the risks associated with investing in the particular country, including the political,
regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events occurring in the country or region, as well as fluctuations in its currency and the risks associated with less developed custody and settlement practices. Foreign securities may
be more volatile and less liquid than investments in securities of U.S. companies.
Fund-of-Funds Risk. There is
risk that the Fund portfolio managers’ investment determinations regarding asset classes or underlying funds and the Fund’s allocations thereto may not be successful, in whole or in part. The ability of the Fund to realize its investment
objective will depend, in large part, on the extent to which the underlying funds realize their investment objective. There is no guarantee that the underlying funds will achieve their investment objective. The Fund is exposed to the same risks as
the underlying funds in direct proportion to the allocation of its assets among the underlying funds. By investing in a combination of underlying funds, the Fund has exposure to the risks of many areas of the market. The performance of underlying
funds could be adversely affected if other entities that invest in the same underlying funds make relatively large investments or redemptions in such underlying funds. The Fund, and its shareholders, indirectly bear a portion of the expenses of any
funds in which the Fund invests. Because the expenses and costs of a fund are shared by its investors, redemptions by other investors in the fund could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for such fund. The
Investment Manager may have potential conflicts of interest in selecting affiliated underlying funds for investment by the Fund because the fees paid to it by some underlying funds are higher than the fees paid by other underlying funds, as well as
a potential conflict in selecting affiliated funds over unaffiliated funds.
Growth Securities Risk. Growth
securities typically trade at a higher multiple of earnings than other types of equity securities. Accordingly, the market values of growth securities may be more sensitive to adverse economic or other circumstances or changes in
current or expected earnings than the market values of other types of securities. In addition, growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general, and may be out of favor with
investors for varying periods of time.
Inflation-Protected Securities Risk. Inflation-protected debt securities tend to react to changes in real interest rates (i.e., nominal interest rates minus the expected impact of inflation). In general, the price of such securities falls when real
interest rates rise, and rises when real interest rates fall. Interest payments on these securities will vary and may be more volatile than interest paid on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, the Fund may have no income at all from such
investments. The Fund’s investment in certain inflation-protected debt securities may generate taxable income in excess of the interest they pay to the Fund, which may cause the Fund to sell investments to obtain cash to make income
distributions to shareholders, including at times when it may not be advantageous to do so.
Interest Rate Risk.
Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt securities will tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt securities will tend
to rise. Changes in the value of a debt security usually will not affect the amount of income the Fund receives from it but may affect the value of the Fund's shares. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the
greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate declines also may increase prepayments of debt obligations, which, in turn, would increase prepayment risk. As interest rates rise or spreads widen, the likelihood of prepayment
decreases.
Issuer Risk. An issuer in which the Fund invests may perform poorly, and therefore, the value of its securities may decline, which would negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Poor performance may be caused by poor
management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters or other events, conditions or factors.
Low and Below Investment Grade (High-Yield) Securities Risk. Securities with the lowest investment grade rating, securities rated below investment grade (commonly called “high-yield” or “junk” bonds) and unrated securities of comparable quality expose the
Fund to a greater risk of loss of principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade securities. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience a
default than higher-rated securities. High-yield securities are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Market Risk. Market risk
refers to the possibility that the market values of securities or other investments that the Fund holds will fall, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, or fail to rise. An investment in the Fund could lose money over short or even long periods.
In general, equity securities tend to have greater price volatility than debt securities.
Prepayment and Extension Risk.
Prepayment and extension risk is the risk that a loan, bond or other security or investment might be called or otherwise converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity, and the portfolio managers may not be able to invest the proceeds in other
investments providing as high a level of income, resulting in a reduced yield to the Fund. As interest rates rise or spreads widen, the likelihood of prepayment decreases. The portfolio managers may be unable to capitalize on securities with higher
interest rates or wider spreads because the Fund’s investments are locked in at a lower rate for a longer period of time.
| Columbia Capital Allocation Moderate Conservative Portfolio | 4 |
Small- and Mid-Cap Company Securities Risk. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies (small- and mid-cap companies) often involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established companies (larger companies) because small- and mid-cap
companies tend to have less predictable earnings and may lack the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies, and securities of small- and mid-cap companies may be less liquid
and more volatile than the securities of larger companies.
Value Securities Risk.
Value securities are securities of companies that may have experienced, for example, adverse business, industry or other developments or may be subject to special risks that have caused the securities to be out of favor and, in turn, potentially
undervalued. The market value of a portfolio security may not meet the portfolio manager's perceived value assessment of that security, or may decline in price, even though the portfolio manager(s) believe(s) the securities are already undervalued.
There is also a risk that it may take longer than expected for the value of these investments to rise to the portfolio manager’s perceived value. In addition, value securities, at times, may not perform as well as growth securities or the
stock market in general, and may be out of favor with investors for varying periods of time.
Performance Information
The following bar chart and table show you how the Fund has
performed in the past, and can help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s Class A share performance (without sales charges) has varied for each full calendar year shown. If the sales charges were
reflected, returns shown would be lower. Class A share performance (without sales charges) is shown in the bar chart because Class A shares have at least ten calendar years of performance and Class A shares are the most common share class across the
Columbia Funds complex that are available for investment by the general public. The table below the bar chart compares the Fund’s returns (after applicable sales charges) for the periods shown with benchmark performance.
The performance of one or more share classes shown in the
table below begins before the indicated inception date for such share class. The returns shown for each such share class include the returns of the Fund’s Class A shares (without applicable sales charges and adjusted to reflect the higher
class-related operating expenses of such classes, where applicable) for periods prior to its inception date. Class K shares of the Fund commenced operations after the periods ended shown in the table below and, therefore, performance is not yet
available. Class Y shares of the Fund did not commence operations prior to the date of this prospectus and, therefore, performance is not yet available. Any share class that does not have available performance would have annual returns substantially
similar to those of Class A shares. Except for differences in annual returns resulting from differences in expenses and sales charges (where applicable), the share classes of the Fund would have substantially similar annual returns because all share
classes of the Fund invest in the same portfolio of securities.
The after-tax returns shown in the table below are calculated
using the highest historical individual U.S. federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state, local or foreign taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your personal tax situation and may differ from those shown
in the table. In addition, the after-tax returns shown in the table do not apply to shares held in tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The after-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares and will
vary for other share classes. After-tax returns are shown for Class A shares because Class A shares have at least ten calendar years of performance and Class A shares are the most common share class across the Columbia Funds complex that are
available for investment by the general public.
The
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information can be obtained by calling toll-free 800.345.6611 or visiting

Tax Information
The Fund normally distributes net investment income and net
realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders. These distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. The use of a
fund-of-funds structure could affect the timing, amount and character of distributions to you and therefore may increase the amount of taxes payable by you. If you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, you may be taxed upon withdrawals
from that account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other
Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund
