This includes, but is not limited to Government National Mortgage Association GNMA or Ginnie Mae) mortgage-backed bonds, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States; and Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA or Fannie Mae) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC or Freddie Mac) mortgage-backed bonds. FNMA and FHLMC are chartered or sponsored by Acts of Congress; however, their securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the United States Treasury. The Fund will provide shareholders with at least 60 days&#8217; written notice of any change in the 80% policy.

Principal risks associated with an investment in the Fund include:</p><p><b>Active Management Risk.</b> Due to its active management, the Fund could underperform other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.</p><p><b>Credit Risk.</b> Credit risk is the risk that fixed-income securities in the Fund&#8217;s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or repay principal when due because the issuer of the security or the counterparty to a contract will default or otherwise become unable or unwilling to honor its financial obligations. Unrated securities held by the Fund present increased credit risk.</p><p><b>Derivatives Risk.</b> The Fund&#8217;s use of derivatives involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the investments underlying the derivatives. Derivatives may be volatile and involve significant risk, such as, among other things, correlation risk, counterparty credit risk, hedging risk, leverage risk and liquidity risk. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.</p><p><b>Interest Rate Risk.</b> Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. When interest rates rise, prices of fixed-income securities generally fall. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a fixed-income security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes also may increase prepayments of debt obligations.</p><p><b>Market Risk.</b> The market value of securities may fall, fail to rise or fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry, or the market as a whole.</p><p><b>Prepayment and Extension Risk.</b> Prepayment and extension risk is the risk that a loan, bond or other security might be called or otherwise converted, prepaid or redeemed before maturity, and the portfolio managers may not be able to invest the proceeds in securities or loans providing as high a level of income, resulting in a reduced yield to the Fund. As interest rates rise or spreads widen, the likelihood of prepayment decreases. The portfolio managers (or Subadvisers) may be unable to capitalize on securities with higher interest rates or wider spreads because the Fund&#8217;s investments are locked in at a lower rate for a longer period of time.</p>falsefalsefalsefalsefalseOtherus-types:textBlockItemTypestringNarrative Risk Disclosure.

A Money Market Fund should show only the returns described in clause (A) of the preceding sentence. All returns should be shown for 1-, 5-, and 10- calendar year periods ending on the date of the most recently completed calendar year (or for the life of the Fund, if shorter), but only for periods subsequent to the effective date of the Fund's registration statement. The table also shouldshow the returns of an appropriate broadbased securities market index as defined in Instruction 5 to Item 22(b)(7) for the same periods. A Fund that has been in existence for more than 10 years also may include returns for the life of the Fund. A Money Market Fund may provide the Fund's 7-day yield ending on the date of the most recent calendar year or disclose a toll-free (or collect) telephone number that investors can use to obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield. For a Fund (other than a Money Market Fund or a Fund described in General Instruction C.3.(d)(iii)), provide the information in the following table with the specified captions AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS (For the periods ended December 31, _____). For a Fund that provides annual total returns for only one calendar year or for a Fund that does not include the bar chart because it does not have annual returns for a full calendar year, modify, as appropriate, the narrative explanation required by paragraph (c)(2)(i) (e.g., by stating that the information gives some indication of the risks of an investment in the Fund by comparing the Fund's performance with a broad measure of market performance).Reference 1: 1 -Publisher SEC -Name Form -Number N-1A -Chapter A -Section 4 -Paragraph 2 -Subparagraph iv -Subsection b falsefalsePerformance Table Narrative129Risk/Return Summary - Columbia U.S. Government Mortgage Fund (Class A, B, C, I and R4 Shares) (Columbia U.S. Government Mortgage Fund, Class A, B, C, I and R4 Shares)UnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruetrue
