We hope the financial information presented will help you evaluate your investment in the RBC Funds. We also encourage you to read your Funds’ prospectus for further detail as to your Funds’ investment policies and risk profile. RBC Funds prospectuses and performance information subsequent to the date of this report are available on our website at www.rbcgam.us.

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

For performance data current to the most recent month-end go to www.rbcgam.us. Please see footnotes below.

(1) The Funds’ expenses reflect the most recent fiscal year-end (September 30, 2011).

(2) The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Fund to the levels listed under net expense ratio until January 31, 2013.

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c) The inception date for Class C Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class A Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class C Shares, as applicable (and where applicable, the maximum sales charges of the Class C Shares).

 

(d) The inception date for Class S Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class I Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class S Shares.

 

(e) The performance in the table for the period from December 2, 1983 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund, the predecessor to RBC Enterprise Fund. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower).

 

(f) The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 2, 1983. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from November 30, 1983.

 

(g) The inception date for Class A and Class C Shares of the Fund is April 19, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class S Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class A and Class C Shares, as applicable (and where applicable, the maximum sales charges of the Class A and Class C Shares).

  PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

(h) The inception date for Class I Shares of the Fund is September 30, 2004. All performance shown for each such class of shares prior to its inception date is based on the performance of the Class S Shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect the fees and expenses of Class I Shares, as applicable.

 

(i) The performance in the table for the period from August 5, 1991 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund II, the predecessor to RBC Small Cap Core Fund. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower).

 

(j) The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is August 5, 1991. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from July 31, 1991.

 

(k) The performance in the table for the period from September 10, 1987 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Shadow Stock Fund, the predecessor to RBC Microcap Value Fund. Fund performance reflects applicable fee waivers/expense reimbursements (which, if excluded, would cause performance to be lower).

 

(l) The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is September 10, 1987. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from August 31, 1987.

 

(m) The since inception date (commencement of operations) of the Fund is December 31, 2009. The performance of the index since inception of the Fund is calculated from December 31, 2009.

          The graph reflects an initial investment of $10,000 over a 10 year period and is based on Class S shares. The performance of the Fund for the period from September 30, 2001 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, the predecessor to RBC SMID Cap Growth Fund. The Fund’s total return includes reinvested dividends and capital gains. The Fund’s total return also includes operating expenses that reduce return, while the total return of the index does not. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Performance of other classes will vary due to differences in fee structures.

10 Years

          
          
          
The graph reflects an initial investment of $10,000 over a 10 year period and is based on Class S shares. The performance of the Fund for the period from September 30, 2001 to April 19, 2004 reflects the performance of Babson Enterprise Fund, the predecessor to RBC Enterprise Fund. The Fund’s total return includes reinvested dividends and capital gains. The Fund’s total return also includes operating expenses that reduce return, while the total return of the index does not. The graph does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. Performance of other classes will vary due to differences in fee structures.

1.Organization

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

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

- RBC Enterprise Fund (“Enterprise Fund”)

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

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

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

The SMID Cap Growth and Enterprise Funds offer four share classes: Class A, Class C, Class I and Class S shares. The Small Cap Core and Microcap Value Funds offer three share classes: Class A, Class C, and Class S shares. The Mid Cap Value Fund offers Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with a 5.75% maximum front-end sales charge and a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) for redemption within 12 months of a $1 million or greater purchase on which no front-end sales charge was paid. Class C shares are offered at net asset value (i.e. no front-end sales charge), but are subject to a CDSC of 1.00% for redemptions within 12 months of purchase. Class I shares (intended for investors meeting certain investment minimum thresholds) and Class S shares (available to investors purchasing shares directly from the Funds’ transfer agent) are not subject to either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)”) acts as the investment advisor for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates or of BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), the co-administrator.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation:

Equity securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Equity securities traded on one or more U.S. exchanges shall be valued at the last available quoted sale price on the primary trading exchange as of the valuation time. Valuation time is as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). If there was no sale on the primary exchange on the day the net asset value is calculated, the most recent bid quotation generally will be used. In cases where neither closing prices nor bid prices are available, or where those prices do not accurately reflect the value of the security, a security will be valued in accordance with the Funds’ approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. These procedures are also used to determine the fair value of a security if a significant event occurs that materially affects the value of the security. Bonds and other fixed income securities, including TBA commitments, are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate

factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Short-term securities with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.

Fair Value Measurements:

Various input levels are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

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

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

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

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

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

* Net change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) in level 3 securities still held at March 31, 2012.

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Funds recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements:

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

Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. The Funds have procedures to secure additional collateral, if needed, to ensure that the daily market value of the collateral remains in excess of the repurchase agreement in the event of a default. There were no Repurchase Agreements held at March 31, 2012.

Investment Transactions and Income:

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

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

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

Real Estate Investment Trusts:

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

 

56


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Distributions received from a REIT in excess of its income are recorded as a return of capital and a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.

Distributions to Shareholders:

Each Fund pays out any income that it receives, less expenses, in the form of dividends and capital gain distributions to its shareholders. Income dividends and capital gain distributions for each Fund are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are calculated based on federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences may be either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are determined, as of the end of the tax year, to be permanent (e.g., net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, distribution redesignations and prior year spillbacks ), they are reclassified within a Fund’s capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment.

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

 

   

Average Daily Net Assets of Fund

  Annual Rate  

SMID Cap Growth Fund

      All Net Assets     0.70%   

Enterprise Fund

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

Small Cap Core Fund

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

Microcap Value Fund

      All Net Assets     0.90%   

Mid Cap Value Fund

      All Net Assets     0.70%   

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Class S shares of each Fund and Class I shares of each Fund (except Small Cap Core Fund and Microcap Value Fund, which do not offer Class I shares) to the following levels. This expense limitation agreement is in place until January 31, 2013.

 

     Annual Rate  

SMID Cap Growth Fund

     1.10%   

Enterprise Fund

     1.08%   

Small Cap Core Fund

     1.05%   

Microcap Value Fund

     1.07%   

Mid Cap Value Fund

     0.90%   

Classes A and C vary from these limits only by the addition of class-specific 12b-1 fees. Each Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by RBC GAM (US), any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay RBC GAM (US) such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation stated above. At March 31, 2012, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are $193,109, $293,013, $245,994, $369,225 and $103,009 for SMID Cap Growth Fund, Enterprise Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Microcap Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund, respectively.

RBC GAM (US) may also voluntarily waive and/or reimburse operating expenses of any Fund from time to time. Any such voluntary program may be changed or eliminated at any time without notice.

 

57


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

RBC GAM (US) serves as co-administrator to the Funds. BNY Mellon serves as co-administrator and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the administrative services contract include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the Funds, maintenance of their records and the preparation of reports. Under the terms of the administrative services contract, RBC GAM (US) receives from each Fund a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.075% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. BNY Mellon receives a fee for its services payable by the Funds based on the Funds’ average net assets. RBC GAM (US)’s fee is listed as “Administration fees” in the Statements of Operations. BNY Mellon’s fee is included with “Accounting fees” in the Statements of Operations.

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the adviser or the co-administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $32,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

 

 

4. Fund Distribution

Each of the Funds has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) in which Quasar Distributors LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Plan permits each Fund to make payments for or to reimburse the Distributor monthly for distribution-related costs and expenses of marketing shares of each share class covered under the Plan; and/or for providing shareholder services. The following chart shows the current Plan fee rate for each class.

 

    

Class A

  

Class C

12b-1 Plan Fee

   0.25%*    1.00%

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

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of the applicable class. Up to 0.25% of each Plan fee may be designated as a Service Fee, as defined by the applicable rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive a Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part.

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Distributor received commissions of $992 from front-end sales charges of Class A and Class C shares of the Funds, of which $25 was paid to affiliated broker-dealers, and the remainder was either paid to unaffiliated broker-dealers or retained by the Distributor.

The Distributor received no CDSC fees from Class A and Class C shares of the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2012.

7. Federal Income Taxes

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

 

61


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (for the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

As of March 31, 2012, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund were as follows:

Securities
     Unrealized

     Unrealized

As of September 30, 2011, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes as follows:

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (The “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning after September 30, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Funds will be contained within this section of the Funds’ fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 financial statements.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

 

8. Market Timing

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

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the redemption fees collected by the Funds which are included in the cost of shares redeemed on the statement of changes in net assets are as follows:

9. Soft Dollars

The term soft dollars generally refers to arrangements in which services other than trade execution are received from a broker-dealer. Federal securities laws permit a fund advisor to incur commission charges on behalf of a Fund that are higher than another broker dealer would have charged if the advisor believes the charges are reasonable in relation to the brokerage and research services received. RBC GAM (US) has a fiduciary duty to the shareholders of the Funds to seek the best execution price for all of the Funds’ securities transactions. Fund management believes that using soft dollars to purchase brokerage and research services may, in certain cases, be in a Fund’s best interest. As of March 31, 2012, certain of the Funds used soft dollar arrangements on a limited basis. Fund management continues to closely monitor its current use of soft dollars, in addition to regulatory developments in this area for any possible impact on Fund policies.

 

 

10. Subsequent Events

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

  SHARE CLASS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

The RBC Equity Funds offer up to four share classes. These four share classes are the A, C, I, and S classes.

For an investor purchasing RBC Funds shares through a financial services intermediary, the question as to which share class, A or C, is the better choice is dependent on many factors, including the amount to be invested and the length of time an investor anticipates holding the shares. An investor should consult with his or her financial advisor about his or her personal financial situation to determine which share class is the best choice for his or her individual situation.

 

 

Class A

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

 

 

Class C

Class C shares of all Funds except Mid Cap Value are also available for purchase primarily through investment advisors, broker-dealers, banks and other financial services intermediaries. Class C shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. (No CDSC will be charged on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains.) C Class shares expenses include a 1.00% (100 bps) annual 12b-1 service and distribution fee. Class C shares have a lower up-front sales charge (load) than Class A shares, but due to the higher service and distribution fee, have higher annual expenses than A Class shares.

 

 

Class S

Class S shares of all Funds except Mid Cap Value are available to investors purchasing shares directly through the Fund or its agent, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services LLC, or through certain fee-based programs of broker-dealers or registered investment advisors. This share class does not have an up-front sales charge (load) or a 12b-1 service and distribution fee.

 

 

Class I

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

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

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

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

 

 

Actual Expenses and Performance

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

   PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

     
 

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

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

 

1. Organization

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

- Prime Money Market Fund

- U.S. Government Money Market Fund

- Tax-Free Money Market Fund

The Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund offer five share classes: RBC Institutional Class 1, RBC Institutional Class 2, RBC Investor Class, RBC Reserve Class and RBC Select Class.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc (“RBC GAM (US)”) acts as the investment adviser for the Funds. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates or BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”), the co-administrator.

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation:

Securities held by the Funds are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, in order to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. If amortized cost no longer approximates fair value due to credit or other impairments of an issuer, the Fund will use pricing and valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to determine a security’s fair value. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Money market funds must invest exclusively in high quality securities. To be considered high quality, a security generally must be rated in one of the two highest short-term credit quality categories by at least two nationally recognized rating organizations such as Standard & Poors Corporation, Moody’s Investors Service or Fitch Investors Service. If unrated, a security must be determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.

Fair Value Measurements:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

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

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active. Generally, the types of securities included in Level 2 for the Funds are U.S. Treasury bills and certain money market instruments, including those valued at amortized cost under Rule 2a-7. Amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market.

 

48


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

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

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair value of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

 

Funds

 

   Level 1
Quoted Prices
     Level 2
Significant
Observable

Inputs
     Level 3

     5,000,000(a)         1,392,578,593(c)                           —         1,397,578,593   

(a) Level 1 investments consist of Investment Companies.

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

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

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Funds recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Investment Transactions and Income:

Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the security is bought or sold (“trade date”). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated based on the costs of the specific security (also known as identified cost basis). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. The Funds amortize all premiums and discounts on debt securities.

When Issued Transactions:

The Funds may engage in when-issued transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain sufficient liquidity so that cash will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are valued daily beginning on trade date and begin earning interest on the settlement date. As of March 31, 2012, the Funds held no when-issued securities.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Repurchase Agreements:

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

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

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

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

Distributions to Shareholders:

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

Credit Enhancement:

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

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

 

    

Average Daily Net

     Assets of Fund     

   Annual Rate  

Prime Money Market Fund

               All Net Assets      0.10%   

U.S. Government Money Market Fund

               All Net Assets      0.10%   

Tax-Free Money Market Fund

               All Net Assets      0.10%

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses under an Expense Limitation Agreement in order to maintain the net annual fund operating expenses at 0.20% for RBC Institutional Class 1 of the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, there were no fees waived under this agreement.

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

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the adviser or the co-administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $32,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

Security Transactions with Affiliated Funds

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund engaged in security purchase and sale transactions with other RBC Funds or investment advisory clients managed by RBC GAM (US). These purchase and sale transactions complied with Rule 17a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) and amounted to $0 and $148,725,000 for Prime Money Market Fund, respectively, $96,225,000 and $0 for U.S. Government Money Market Fund, respectively, and $42,225,000 and $0 for Tax-Free Money Market Fund, respectively.

Each Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by RBC Capital Markets, any expenses in excess of the Expense Limitation and repay RBC Capital Markets such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the Expense Limitation. At March 31, 2012, the amounts subject to possible recoupment under the expense limitation agreement are $10,646,203, $6,040,107 and $2,053,186 for the Prime Money Market Fund, U.S. Government Money Market Fund and Tax-Free Money Market Fund, respectively.

RBC Capital Markets may voluntarily waive and/or reimburse additional fund operating expenses at any time, such as to maintain a minimum yield in a fund. Any such voluntary program may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.

6. Federal Income Taxes

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

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

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

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and the tax character of distributions paid are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2011, the following Funds had net capital loss carryforwards to offset future net capital gains, if any:

 

       Capital Loss

Tax-Free Money Market Fund

       12,260           2019   

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (The “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning after September 30, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Funds’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Funds will be contained within this section of the Funds’ fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 financial statements.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following Fund had deferred post October capital losses, which were treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 and as such are included in current year earnings.

7. Line of Credit

Tax-Free Money Market Fund is the sole participant in an uncommitted, unsecured $150,000,000 line of credit with U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Bank”), the Fund’s custodian, to be used only for liquidity and other purposes. Interest is charged on borrowings under this line of credit at the Bank’s prime lending rate – 1/2% per annum. There were no loans outstanding pursuant to this line of credit at March 31, 2012. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Tax-Free Money Market Fund did not utilize this line of credit.

8. Subsequent Events

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

Shareholder Expense Examples

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

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

 

 

Actual Expenses and Performance

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(c) You cannot invest directly into the index.

*   The Fund’s expenses reflect the most recent year end (September 30, 2011).

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

1. Organization

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

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

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)”) acts as the investment advisor for the Trust. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”).

The Fund’s investment objective is to invest in geographically specific debt securities located in portions of the United States designated by Fund investors. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in debt securities specifically designed to support underlying economic activities such as affordable housing, education, small business lending, and job-creating activities in areas of the United States designated by Fund investors.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation:

Bonds and other fixed income securities, including TBA commitments, are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. Swaptions are fair valued using methodologies approved by the Trust’s Board. These valuation techniques take into account mutiple factors, including fundamental security analytical data, information from broker-dealers, market spreads and interest rates. Short-term debt obligations, with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost unless Fund Management determines that amortized cost no longer approximates market value.

In such cases where a security price is unavailable, or where Fund Management determines that the value provided by the pricing services or amortized cost does not approximate fair value, the Board has approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; and trading in similar

securities. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value. Exchange traded financial futures are valued at the settlement price as established by the exchange on which they are traded.

Financial Instruments:

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

To obtain short-term financing, the Fund entered into reverse repurchase agreements with primary dealers that report to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the 100 largest U.S. commercial banks, who are deemed creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board. Interest on the value of the reverse repurchase agreements is based upon competitive market rates at the time of issuance. At the time the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will establish and maintain a segregated account with the custodian containing qualifying assets having a value, including accrued interest, not less than the repurchase price. Based on requirements with certain exchanges and third party broker-dealers, the Fund may also be required to deliver or deposit securities or cash as collateral. If the counterparty to the transaction is rendered insolvent, the ultimate realization of the securities to be repurchased by the Fund may be delayed or limited. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the average amount borrowed was approximately $143,251,904 and the daily weighted average interest rate was 0.32%.

Derivatives

The Fund may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities for hedging purposes only. Derivatives allow the Fund to increase or decrease its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Use of derivative contracts may give rise to losses. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Fund. For over-the-counter purchased options, the Fund bears the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Written options by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Fund to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Fund, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that the Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative instruments, as described below. For open derivative instruments as of March 31, 2012, see the following section for financial futures contracts.

Financial Futures Contracts

The Fund entered into futures contracts in an effort to manage both the duration of the portfolio and hedge against certain market risk. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating one party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, during the term of the contract, cash

 

37


  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

payments based on the level of a specified securities index. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require a Fund to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if a Fund had not entered into any futures transactions.

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

Options

The Fund may write (or sell) put and call options on the securities that the Fund is authorized to buy or already holds in its portfolio. A Fund may also purchase put and call options. A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at the agreed-upon exercise (or “strike”) price during the option period. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying security at the strike price during the option period. Purchasers of options pay an amount, known as a premium, to the option writer in exchange for the right under the option contract. The Fund does not have any outstanding options as of March 31, 2012.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Swaptions

The Fund may purchase or write swaptions in an attempt to gain additional protection against the effects of interest rate fluctuations. Swap options (swaptions) are similar to options on securities except that instead of selling or purchasing the right to buy or sell a security, the writer or purchaser of the swap option is granting or buying the right to enter into a previously agreed upon interest rate swap agreement at any time before the expiration of the option (interest rate risk). In purchasing and writing swaptions, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying interest rate swap or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. The Fund executes transactions in over-the-counter swaptions. Transactions in over-the-counter swaptions may expose the Fund to the risk of default by the counterparty to the transaction. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund’s maximum amount of loss is the premium paid (as purchaser) or the unrealized loss of the contract (as writer).The Fund does not have any outstanding call swaptions as of March 31, 2012.

TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased/sold declines/increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”.

Mortgage Backed Securities

Because the Fund will focus on community development investments, such as securities backed by commercial and/or residential mortgage loans, it will be affected by risks not typically associated with funds that do not specialize in community development investments. These risks include credit and prepayment risk and risk due to default on underlying loans within a security. Changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults or assets underlying these securities, can affect the value, income and/or liquidity of such positions.

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

Credit Enhancement

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

Fair Value Measurements:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

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

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

·  Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

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

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

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers to/from level 1, level 2 and level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Investment Transactions and Income:

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

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

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

Distributions to Shareholders:

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

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RBC GAM (US) serves as investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor has agreed to waive or limit fees through January 31, 2013, to maintain expenses (excluding interest expense, management fees and distribution fees) at 0.20% of the Fund’s average monthly gross assets less liabilities, other than indebtness for borrowing. The Fund will carry forward, for a period not to exceed 12 months from the date on which a waiver or reimbursement is made by the Advisor, any expenses in excess of the expense limitation and repay the Advisor such amounts, provided the Fund is able to effect such repayment and remain in compliance with the expense limitation disclosed in the effective prospectus. During the six months ended March 31, 2012, no reimbursements were made to the Advisor.

Under the terms of the Fund’s management agreement, the Advisor receives from the Fund an annual management fee, paid monthly, of 50 basis points (0.50%) of the Fund’s average daily total assets less liabilities, other than indebtedness for borrowing. For purposes of calculating the management fee, assets purchased with borrowed monies are included in the total that is subject to the management fee. As a result, the Advisor has an incentive to use leverage so as to increase the amount of assets upon which it may charge a fee. As of March 31, 2012, the impact of leverage raised the management fee to approximately 63 basis points (0.63%) of the Fund’s average net assets.

The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $32,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

4. Fund Distribution:

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

 

     Class A  

12b-1 Plan Fee

     0.25%   

Plan fees are based on average daily net assets of Class A. The Distributor, subject to applicable legal requirements, may waive the Plan fee voluntarily, in whole or in part. For the six months ended March 31, 2012, there were no fees waived by the Distributor.

5. Securities Transactions:

7. Federal Income Taxes:

It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains. Therefore, no federal tax liability is recorded in the financial statements of the Fund. As of March 31, 2012, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was as follows:

 

Tax

Cost of

    Securities    

 

Unrealized

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and the tax character of distributions paid are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included the the Annual Report dated September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2011, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes as follows:

 

    

  Capital Loss   
Carryforward  

      

Expires

    
    $  3,756,334         2012   
    659,184         2013

    8,197,543         2016   
    11,587,282         2018   
    4,011,206         2019   

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (The “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Fund. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Fund’s fiscal year beginning after September 30, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund will be contained within this section of the Fund’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 financial statements.

Under current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 of a Fund’s fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund had deferred post October capital losses of $11,203,794 which were treated as arising on the first business day of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012.

Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (for the tax years ended September 30 of the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and the tax year ended May 31 of 2008), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. The Fund’s federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

8. Subsequent Events.

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the Access Capital Community Investment Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

       Beginning

10/1/11
     Ending

     Expenses Paid

Class I

     $  1,000.00      $1,018.40      $3.96      0.79%

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

1. Organization

RBC Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as an open-end management Investment Company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on December 16, 2003. Overall responsibility for the management of the Trust is vested in its Board of Trustees (the “Board”). This semi annual report is for the RBC U.S. Long Corporate Fund (the “Fund”), which offers one share class.

RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (“RBC GAM (US)”) acts as the investment advisor for the Trust. The officers of the Trust (“Fund Management”) are also employees of RBC GAM (US) or its affiliates and BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation:

Bonds and other fixed income securities, including TBA commitments, are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. These valuation techniques take into account mutiple factors, including fundamental security analytical data, information from broker-dealers, market spreads and interest rates. Short-term debt obligations, with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost unless Fund Management determines that amortized cost no longer approximates market value. In such cases where a security price is unavailable, or where Fund Management determines that the value provided by the pricing services or amortized cost does not approximate fair value, the Board has approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; and trading in similar securities. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Financial Instruments:

TBA Commitments

The Fund may enter into to be announced (“TBA”) commitments to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date. TBA commitments are considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased/sold declines/increases prior to settlement date, which is in addition to the risk of decline in the value of a Fund’s other assets. Unsettled TBA commitments are valued at the current value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described under “Security Valuation”. There were no outstanding TBA commitments for the six months ended March 31, 2012.

Credit Enhancement

Certain obligations held in the Fund have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include: letters of credit; liquidity guarantees; security purchase agreements; tender option purchase agreements; and third party insurance (i.e., AMBAC and MBIA). For the six months ended March 31, 2012, there are no obligations with credit enhancement or liquidity features.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fair Value Measurements:

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

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

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

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

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

The summary of inputs used to determine the fair valuation of the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

 

     Level 1

During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Fund recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Investment Transactions and Income:

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

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Distributions to Shareholders:

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

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

RBC GAM (US) serves as investment advisor to the Fund. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or pay Fund operating expenses in order to limit the “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” of the Fund to 0.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, or non-routine expenses such as litigation). The expense limitation agreement is in place until January 31, 2013 and may not be terminated by the Advisor prior to that date. The Fund will not pay the Advisor directly for advisory services.

The Fund is designed to be a component of separately managed accounts for clients of RBC GAM (US), and for other pooled investment strategies managed by RBC GAM (US) and is not available for direct investment by the general public.

The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $32,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

Expense Allocation:

The Fund pays the expenses that are directly related to its operations, such as custodian fees or administrative services fees. Expenses incurred by the Trust, such as trustee or legal fees, are allocated to the Fund either proportionately based upon the Fund’s relative net assets or using another reasonable basis such as equally across all Funds in the Trust, depending on the nature of the expense.

4. Securities Transactions:

The cost of securities purchased and proceeds from securities sold (excluding securities maturing less than one year from acquisition) for the period ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:

 

Purchases(Excl. US. Gov’t.)

  Sales(Excl. US. Gov’t.)   Purchases of US. Gov’t.   Sales of US. Gov’t.

6. Federal Income Taxes:

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

As of March 31, 2012, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was as follows:

 

Tax

Securities
  Unrealized

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2012.

As of September 30, 2011, the Fund did not have any capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes.

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

8. Subsequent Events.

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the RBC U.S. Long Corporate Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 1, 2011 through March 31, 2012.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

 

JPMorgan Government Bond Index - Emerging Markets (“GBI-EM”) Global Diversified Index (Unhedged) is a comprehensive global local emerging markets index, and consists of regularly traded, liquid fixed-rate, domestic currency government bonds to which international investors can gain exposure.

The J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index (“CEMBI”) Diversified limits the weights of those index countries with larger corporate debt stocks by only including a specified portion of these countries’ eligible current face amounts of debt outstanding. The CEMBI Diversified results in well-distributed, more balanced weightings for countries included in the index. The countries covered in the CEMBI Diversified are identical to those covered by the CEMBI.

The BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield Constrained Index tracks the performance of below investment grade bonds of corporate issuers domiciled in countries having an investment grade foreign currency long term debt rating.

The UBS Global Focus Convertible Index measures the size and performance of the most liquid convertible issues.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Security Valuation:

Bonds and other fixed income securities are generally valued on the basis of prices furnished by pricing services approved by the Trust’s Board. The pricing services utilize both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques that take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue. Derivative contracts and agreements are fair valued using methodologies approved by the Trust’s Board. These valuation techniques take into account multiple factors, including fundamental security analytical data, counterparty valuation quotations, information from broker-dealers, market spreads and interest rates. Short-term debt obligations, with less than 60 days to maturity at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost unless Fund Management determines that amortized cost no longer approximates market value.

In such cases where a security price is unavailable, or where Fund Management determines that the value provided by the pricing services or amortized cost does not approximate fair value, the Board has approved pricing and valuation procedures to determine a security’s fair value. Fair valuation may also be used when a significant valuation event is determined to have occurred. Significant valuation events may include, but are not limited to, the following: an event affecting the value of a security traded on a foreign market occurs between the close of that market and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange; an extraordinary event like a natural disaster or terrorist act occurs; or an adverse development arises with respect to a specific issuer, such as a bankruptcy filing. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the issuer and the market, such as duration, prepayment and default rates; general level of interest rates and changes in interest rates; information from broker-dealers; and trading in similar securities. Exchange traded options, futures, and options on futures are valued at their most recent sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded.

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

Swaps are valued by an independent pricing service using an industry standard pricing model. If a price is not available from a pricing service or is deemed unreliable or not reflective of current market value, the swap may be priced at fair value using procedures approved by the Board.

Investments initially valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to the U.S. dollar using foreign exchange rate quotations received from a pricing vendor as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. The value of securities traded in markets outside the United States may be affected on a day that the NYSE is closed and an investor is not able to purchase, exchange or redeem shares of the Funds.

Foreign Currency Transactions:

The values of foreign securities, foreign currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates each business day. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currency holdings and other assets and liabilities resulting from movements in currency exchange rates are recorded as unrealized foreign currency gains or losses. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are not segregated from the effects of changes in market prices of those securities on the Statements of Operations. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized gains or losses and net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investment transactions.

Financial Instruments:

Derivatives

The Funds may use derivative instruments, including futures, forwards, options, indexed securities, swaps and inverse securities for hedging purposes only. Derivatives allow a Fund to increase or decrease its risk exposure more quickly and efficiently than other types of instruments. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed a Fund’s original investment. Derivatives are subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives may not be successful, resulting in losses to a Fund, and the cost of such strategies may reduce the Fund’s returns. Derivatives may also expose a Fund to counterparty risk (the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations). To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance. A Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally the aggregate unrealized gain in excess of any collateral pledged by the counterparty to the Funds. For over-the-counter purchased options, the Funds bear the risk of loss in the amount of the premiums paid and change in market value of the options should the counterparty not perform under the contracts. Written options by the Funds do not give rise to counterparty credit risk, as written options obligate the Funds to perform and not the counterparty. Counterparty risk related to exchange traded financial futures contracts and options is minimal because of the protection against defaults provided by the exchange on which they trade. Hedging also involves the risk that changes in the value of the derivative will not match those of the holdings being hedged as expected by the Funds, in which case any losses on the holdings being hedged may not be reduced and may be increased. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s hedging strategy will reduce risk or that hedging transactions will be available or cost effective. The Funds are subject to interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives by investing in various derivative financial instruments, as described below. In addition to the risks associated with derivatives in general, the Funds will also be subject to risks related to swap agreement. Because swap agreement are not exchange-traded, but are private contracts into which a Fund and a swap counterparty enter as principals, a Fund may experience a loss or delay in recovering assets if the counterparty defaults on its obligations. Each Fund will segregate or earmark liquid assets in an amount sufficient to cover its obligations under swap agreements.

 

38


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Funds may mitigate counterparty risk on derivatives through master netting agreements included within an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreement between a Fund and each of its counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreement allows each Fund to offset with its counterparty certain derivative financial instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held with each counterparty. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts of up to $1,000,000. To the extent amounts due to the Funds from their counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Funds bear the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

Financial Futures Contracts

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

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

Collateral pledged for open futures contracts is the deposit at brokers shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities at March 31, 2012.

Options

The Funds may write (or sell) put and call options on the securities that the Funds are authorized to buy or already hold in their portfolio. The Funds may also purchase put and call options. The Emerging Market Select Bond Fund has outstanding options as of March 31, 2012.

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

 

39


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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

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

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

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

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

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

Swap Agreements

The Funds may enter into swap agreements, which are agreements involving two parties to exchange the return generated by a security, currency, commodity, interest rate, index, or other measures for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The Funds entered into total return, interest rate and other swap agreements. Interest rate swap agreements generally involve the agreement by the Funds to pay a counterparty a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount and to receive a fixed or floating rate on a fixed notional amount, but may also involve the agreement to pay or receive payments derived from changes in interest rates. Periodic payments are generally made during the life

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

of the swap agreement according to the terms and conditions of the agreement and at termination or maturity. Total return swap agreements involve the commitments to pay or receive an amount generally determined by reference to a security, index or other measure in exchange for a specific market linked return, based on notional amounts. To the extent that the total return of the security, index or other measure underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate-based obligation, the Funds receive or make a payment to the counterparty. Interim payments or receipts are recorded as interest expense and interest income in the Statements of Operations. Payments received or made by a Fund at the expiration or other termination of the swap agreements are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. Swap agreements are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations, and changes in value, including the periodic amounts of interest to be paid or received on swaps, are recorded as unrealized appreciation/(depreciation). Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. Details of swap agreements open at period end are included in the Portfolios of Investments under the caption “Interest Rate Swaps” and Total Return Swaps are footnoted on the Portfolio of Investments.

Fair Value Measurements:

Various input levels are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:

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

• Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active.

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

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

During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Funds recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or level 2. The Fund’s policy is to recognize transfers to/from level 1, level 2 and level 3 at the end of the year utilizing fair value at the beginning of the year.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements” in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Investment Transactions and Income:

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

Expense, Investment Income and Gain/Loss Allocation:

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

Distributions to Shareholders:

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

 

 

3. Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Trust has entered into investment advisory agreements with RBC GAM (US) under which RBC GAM (US) manages each Fund’s assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research and personnel. The agreements require each Fund to pay RBC GAM (US) a monthly fee based upon average daily net assets. Under the terms of the advisory contracts, RBC GAM (US) is entitled

 

45


 

  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows:

 

    Average Daily Net Assets of Fund   Annual Rate  
Emerging Market Select Bond Fund   All Net Assets     0.80%   
Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund   All Net Assets     0.95%   
Global High Yield Bond Fund   All Net Assets     0.75%   
Global Convertible Bond Fund   All Net Assets     0.80%   

RBC GAM (US) has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or make payments in order to keep total operating expenses of the Funds to the following levels. This expense limitation agreement is in place until January 31, 2013.

 

     Annual Rate  
Emerging Market Select Bond Fund      1.00%   
Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund      1.15%   
Global High Yield Bond Fund      0.95%   
Global Convertible Bond Fund      1.00%   

The Funds are sub-advised by BlueBay, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada, which is a parent company of the Advisor. The Sub-Advisor is paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fee paid by the Funds to the Advisor.

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

Certain Officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated with the adviser or the co-administrator. Such Officers and Trustees receive no compensation from the Funds for serving in their respective roles.

The RBC Funds currently pay the independent Trustees (Trustees of the Trust who are not directors, officers or employees of the adviser, administrator or distributor) an annual retainer of $32,500. The Board Chairperson and Audit Committee Chairperson each receive an additional retainer of $2,500 annually, and all other trustees serving as Chair of a Board committee each receive an additional retainer of $1,000 annually. In addition, Independent Trustees receive a quarterly meeting fee of $5,000 for each in-person Board meeting attended, a meeting fee of $1,000 for each telephonic or Special Board meeting attended, and a $1,500 fee for each Board committee meeting attended and are reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses relating to attendance at such meetings.

 

 

4. Securities Transactions

6. Federal Income Taxes

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

The tax basis of components of accumulated earnings/(losses) and tax character of distributions are determined at fiscal year end, and will be included in the Annual Report dated September 30, 2012.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (The “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Funds. In general, the provisions of the Act will be effective for the Funds’ fiscal year beginning upon commencement of operations of the Funds on November 30, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of each Funds’ pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers. Relevant information regarding the impact of the Act on the Funds will be contained within this section of the Funds’ fiscal year ending September 30, 2012 financial statements.

 

 

7. Market Timing

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

During the period ended March 31, 2012, there were no redemption fees collected by the Funds.

 

 

8. Subsequent Events

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

Effective April 3, 2012, each Fund is a participant in a single committed, unsecured $4,000,000 line of credit with Bank of New York Mellon, the Funds’ custodian, to be used only for liquidity and other purposes. Interest is charged on borrowings made under this line of credit at the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1.25% per annum, and (b) the Overnight Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of 0.12% per annum of the available line of credit is charged, of which each Fund shall pay its pro rata share based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the aggregate net assets of the Funds at the time the fee is due and payable. Accrued and unpaid commitment fees shall be payable on the last business day of each calendar quarter. An upfront fee equal to 0.02% of the commitment amount was paid by the Funds upon the effectiveness of the line of credit. Several funds participate in the line of credit. As a result, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all or any part of the $4,000,000 at any particular time.

  SHARE CLASS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

The Funds offer Class I shares.

  SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

Shareholder Expense Examples

As a shareholder of the RBC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the RBC Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 30, 2011 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2012.

 

 

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each RBC Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

 

 

 

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

This section provides information regarding the approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (together, the “Advisory Agreements”) for the RBC BlueBay Emerging Markets/Global Fixed Income Funds (the “Funds”). RBC Global Asset Management (U.S.) Inc. (the “Advisor”) serves as investment advisor for the Funds and BlueBay Asset Management LLP (“BlueBay”) serves as the Funds’ sub-advisor.

In December 2010, RBC acquired BlueBay Asset Management Ltd. (the predecessor to BlueBay as discussed below), a leading European asset manager based in London. During the following year, the Board of Trustees of the RBC Funds authorized the creation of the four new Funds to be sub-advised by BlueBay: the RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Select Bond Fund; RBC BlueBay Emerging Market Corporate Bond Fund; RBC BlueBay Global Convertible Bond Fund; and RBC BlueBay Global High Yield Bond Fund. The Funds commenced operations on November 30, 2011.

During the year following the BlueBay acquisition, the Trustees discussed at their meetings the strategic integration of BlueBay and its products into RBC’s global asset management business, the organization’s commitment to BlueBay and its products, the benefits to investors of access to the global/emerging markets fixed income asset classes, and BlueBay’s significant capabilities in that respect. In June 2011, the Trustees met twice with representatives of the Advisor and BlueBay (together, the “Advisors”) specifically to consider approval of the then-proposed Advisory Agreements for the Funds. With regard to each Fund, the Trustees determined to approve the Advisory Agreements for an initial term.

As part of their review of the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees requested and considered information regarding the advisory services to be performed by the Advisors for the Funds, the staffing and qualifications of the personnel responsible for operating and managing the Funds, the relevant experience of the Advisors, and the performance record of BlueBay in managing client assets according to similar investment strategies. The Trustees also reviewed information regarding the anticipated expense structure of the Funds and considered fees and expenses as compared to third-party sources, as well as the Advisor’s contractual agreement to subsidize Fund expenses at competitive levels. Additionally, the Trustees considered information provided at Board and Committee meetings throughout the year, including those meetings mentioned above, during which the Trustees reviewed materials related to the Funds and the then-proposed Agreements.

The Trustees focused their consideration of the Agreements mainly on reviewing the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided under the Agreements and, with respect to BlueBay, its experiences managing portfolios of securities similar to those held by the Funds. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel with regard to the information and materials considered, the Trustees’ responsibilities with regard to the information and materials, and the Trustees’ responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

Based upon their review, the Trustees determined that the nature and quality of the services provided by both the Advisor and BlueBay were of a high quality and it is in the interest of the Funds and their shareholders for the Trustees to approve both the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund.

Also, during the period of this report, the Trustees met to address a then-pending corporate restructuring within the RBC organization under which the investment advisory business and operations of BlueBay Asset Management Ltd. would be transferred to a new limited liability partnership entity called BlueBay Asset Management LLP (previously defined as “BlueBay”). After evaluating the factors discussed below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust, determined to approve a new investment sub-advisory agreement (the “New Agreement”) between the Advisor and BlueBay following the reorganization.

 

51


 

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

 

As part of their review of the New Agreement, the Trustees requested and considered that the New Agreement contained conditions substantially identical to the original Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that BlueBay — following the restructuring — would have substantially identical management personnel, investment and non-investment personnel, facilities, operations, and systems as its predecessor firm prior to the restructuring. The Trustees also reviewed information prepared by the independent Trustees’ independent legal counsel that indicated the internal restructuring would not involve any change of actual control or management. In the restructuring, RBC would retain ownership and voting control of BlueBay while senior BlueBay professionals — who would continue to operate the business — would receive non-controlling ownership interests.

The Trustees also considered the information that they received when they approved the original Sub-Advisory Agreement, along with information that they received and reviewed during subsequent periodic board meetings and otherwise since the launch of the Funds. Upon review, the Trustees were satisfied with the nature and quality of services being provided by BlueBay as sub-advisor and the related fee and other provisions of the New Agreement. In connection with their deliberations, the independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel with regard to the information and materials considered, the Trustees’ responsibilities with regard to the information and materials, and the Trustees’ responsibilities under relevant laws and regulations.

Based upon their review of the above-mentioned information, the terms of and compensation payable under the New Agreement, and in light of the nature and quality of the services provided for the Funds by BlueBay, the Trustees concluded that it is in the interest of the Funds and their shareholders for the Trustees to approve the New Agreement. The reorganization took place — and the New Agreement became effective — on April 2, 2012.
