SFT Core Bond Fund

Fund Objective

The SFT Core Bond Fund seeks as high a level of long-term total return as is consistent with prudent investment risk. Preservation of capital is a secondary objective. The SFT Core Bond Fund invests in long-term, fixed income, high quality debt instruments. The risks incurred by investing in debt instruments include, but are not limited to, reinvestment of prepaid debt obligations at lower rates of return, and the inability to reinvest at higher interest rates when debt obligations are prepaid more slowly than expected. In addition, the net asset value of the SFT Core Bond Fund may fluctuate in response to changes in interest rates and is not guaranteed.

Performance Update

The Fund's performance for the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, for each class of shares offered was as follows:

Class 1

   

3.54

percent*

 

Class 2

   

3.42

percent*

 

The Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 6.14 percent for the same period.

Sector Diversification (shown as a percentage of net assets)

*  The results shown are past performance and are not an indication of future performance. Current performance may be lower or higher. The investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares upon redemption may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance figures of the Fund do not reflect charges pursuant to the terms of the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts funded by separate accounts that invest in the Fund's shares. When such charges are deducted, actual investment performance in a variable policy or contract will be lower.

SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund

Fund Objective

The SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund seeks to maximize risk-adjusted total return relative to its blended benchmark index comprised of 60 percent S&P 500® Index and 40 percent Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (collectively, the Blended Benchmark Index).

The SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund invests primarily in Class 1 shares of the SFT Index 500 Fund for equity exposure, in a basket of fixed income securities for fixed income exposure and certain derivative instruments. The Fund is subject to risks associated with such investments as described in detail in the prospectus. The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate and is not guaranteed. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no assurance that efforts to manage Fund volatility will achieve the desired results.

Performance Update

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had a net return of -0.48 percent*. This return reflects the waiver, reimbursement or payment of certain of the Fund's expenses by its investment advisor.** The Blended Benchmark Index returned 0.98 percent over the same period.

The Agreement renews annually for a full year each year thereafter unless terminated by Securian AM upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of a contract term. The Fund is authorized to reimburse Securian AM for management fees previously waived and/or for the cost of expenses previously paid by Securian AM pursuant to this agreement, provided that such reimbursement will not cause the Fund to exceed any limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement. The Fund's ability to reimburse Securian AM in this manner only applies to fees waived or reimbursements made by Securian AM within the three fiscal years prior to the date of such reimbursement. As of June 30, 2020, Securian AM has waived $3,270,069 pursuant to the agreement, of which $1,693,009 was eligible for recovery as of such date. To the extent that the Fund makes such reimbursements to Securian AM, the amount of the reimbursements will be reflected in the financial statements in the Fund's shareholder reports and in Other Expenses under Fees and Expenses of the Fund.

Investment in the SFT Government Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Performance Update

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had a net return of 0.21 percent*. This return reflects the waiver, reimbursement or payment of certain of the Fund's expenses by its investment advisor and principal underwriter.** The Fund's benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bill 1-3 Month Index, returned 0.61 percent for the same period.

*  The results shown are past performance and are not an indication of future performance. Current performance may be lower or higher. The investment returns and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares upon redemption may be worth more or less than their original cost. Investment in the SFT Government Money Market Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any other agency, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share.

**  Effective May 1, 2012, the Board of Trustees of Securian Funds Trust approved a Restated Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement among Securian FundsTrust (on behalf of SFT Government Money Market Fund), Securian Asset Management, Inc. (Securian AM) and Securian Financial Services, Inc. (Securian Financial). A similar agreement was previously approved by the Board of Directors of Advantus Series Fund, Inc., the Trust's predecessor, effective October 29, 2009. Under such Agreement, Securian AM agrees to waive, reimburse or pay SFT Government Money Market Fund expenses so that the Fund's daily net investment income does not fall below zero. Securian Financial may also waive its Rule 12b-1 fees. Securian AM and Securian Financial each has the option under the Agreement to recover the full amount waived, reimbursed or paid (the "Expense Waiver") on any day on which the Fund's net investment income exceeds zero. On any day, however, the Expense Waiver does not constitute an obligation of the Fund unless Securian AM or Securian Financial has expressly exercised its right to recover a specified portion of the Expense Waiver on that day, in which case such specified portion is then due and payable by the Fund. In addition, the right of Securian AM and/or Securian Financial to recover the Expense Waiver is subject to the following limitations: (1) if a repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund would cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero, such repayment is deferred until a date when repayment would not cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero; (2) the right to recover any portion of the Expense Waiver expires three years after the effective date of that portion of the Expense Waiver; and (3) any repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund cannot cause the Fund's expense ratio to exceed 1.25%. As of June 30, 2020, Securian AM and Securian Financial have collectively waived $4,829,065 pursuant to the Agreement, including expenses waived under the prior agreement with Advantus Series Fund, Inc., of which $197,114 was eligible for recovery as of such date. If Securian AM and Securian Financial exercise their rights to be paid such waived amounts, the Fund's future yield will be negatively affected for an indefinite period. The Agreement is effective through April 30, 2021, and shall continue in effect thereafter, provided such continuance is specifically approved by Securian AM, Securian Financial, and a majority of the Trust's independent Trustees.

Effective November 1, 2017, Securian AM and Securian Funds Trust, on behalf of the SFT Government Money Market Fund, entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement which limits the operating expenses of the Fund, excluding certain expenses, (such as interest expense, acquired fund fees, cash overdraft fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Funds' business), to 0.70% of the Fund's Average daily net assets through April 30, 2021. The Agreement renews annually for a full year each year thereafter unless terminated by Securian AM upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of the contract term. The Fund is authorized to reimburse Securian AM for management fees previously waived and/or for the cost of expenses previously paid by Securian AM pursuant to this agreement, provided that such reimbursement will not cause any Fund to exceed any limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement. The Fund's ability to reimburse Securian AM in this manner only applies to fees waived or reimbursements made by Securian AM within the three fiscal years prior to the date of such reimbursement. To the extent that the Fund makes such reimbursements to Securian AM, the amount of the reimbursements will be reflected in the financial statements in the Funds' shareholder reports and in Other Expenses under Fees and Expenses of the Fund in the prospectus. As of June 30, 2020, Securian AM has waived $296,069 pursuant to the agreement, all of which was eligible for recovery as of such date. To the extent that the Fund makes such reimbursements to Securian AM, the amount of the reimbursements will be reflected in the financial statements in the Fund's shareholder reports and in Other Expenses under Fees and Expenses to the Fund.

SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund

Fund Objective

The SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in common stocks believed to be undervalued. Income is a secondary objective. The Fund pursues its objective by taking a value approach to investment selection. Holdings consist primarily of large cap stocks, but may also include stocks of mid-cap and small-cap companies. While Securian Asset Management, Inc. acts as the investment adviser for the Fund, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (T. Rowe Price) provides investment advice to the Fund under a sub-advisory agreement. The Fund's value approach to investing carries the risk that the market will not recognize a security's intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock judged to be undervalued may actually be appropriately priced at a low level.

Performance Update

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had a net return of -13.88 percent*. The Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, returned -16.26 percent for the same period.

Securian Asset Management, Inc. ("Securian AM"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Securian Financial Group, Inc. ("Securian Financial Group"), serves as the investment adviser to each of the Funds in the Trust pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between Securian AM and the Trust. The Trust's prospectus provides a detailed description of each Fund's investment objective, policies and strategies.

Class 2 shares are subject to a 12b-1 distribution fee. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, and the same terms and conditions, except that Class 1 shares are not subject to a 12b-1 distribution fee. Income, expenses (other than Rule 12b-1 fees) and realized and unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based upon their relative net assets.

The Trust accounts for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund separately. Shares of the Trust are not offered directly to the public, but sold only to Minnesota Life Insurance Company ("Minnesota Life") and Securian Life Insurance Company ("Securian Life") in connection with Minnesota Life and Securian Life variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, and to certain other separate accounts of life insurance affiliates of Minnesota Life and Securian Life, and may also be offered to certain qualified plans.

The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 946, "Financial Services—Investment Companies." The significant accounting policies followed consistently by the Trust are as follows:

Use of Estimates

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

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investments in Securities

Each Fund's net asset value is generally calculated as of the close of normal trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 3:00 p.m. Central Time). Investments in securities traded on a U.S. or foreign securities

exchange are valued at the last sale price on that exchange prior to the time when assets are valued; securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued on the basis of the last current bid price by an independent pricing service or at a price deemed best to reflect fair value quoted by dealers who make markets in these securities. The pricing service may use models that price securities based on current yields and relative security characteristics, such as coupon rate, maturity date, issuer credit quality and prepayment speeds, as applicable. When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Securian AM Valuation Committee ("the Valuation Committee") under the supervision of the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") and in accordance with Board-approved valuation policies and procedures. The Board has delegated the daily oversight of the securities valuation function to the Valuation Committee whose members ensure the valuations comply with the valuation policies and affirms the reasonableness of the fair valuation determinations. The fair valued securities are reviewed by the Board at their quarterly meetings.

A Fund's investments will also be valued at fair value by the Valuation Committee if Securian AM determines that an event impacting the value of an investment occurred after the close of the security's primary exchange or market (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and before the time the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If a significant event impacting the value of a security or group of securities occurs, the Valuation Committee is immediately notified and the members meet promptly to determine whether fair value pricing is needed in accordance with the Fund's valuation procedures and, if so, to approve the pricing methodology to be used.

Short-term securities, with the exception of those held in the SFT Government Money Market Fund, are valued at market value. Pursuant to Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, all securities in the SFT Government Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, in order to attempt to maintain a constant net asset value of $1.00 per share. However, there is no assurance the SFT Government Money Market Fund will maintain the $1.00 net asset value.

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the first in, first out basis. Paydowns of securities are recorded as receivables as of the due date, which varies by the issuer. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or upon dividend notification for certain foreign securities, and interest income, including amortization of bond premium and accretion of bond discount computed on an effective yield basis, is accrued daily.

Foreign Currency Translations and Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated daily into U.S. dollars at the closing rate of exchange. Foreign currency amounts related to the purchase or sale of securities, income and expenses are translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date.

The Fund isolates the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.

SFT International Bond Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts for operational purposes and to protect against adverse exchange rate fluctuations. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a foreign currency at a specific exchange rate on


86



Securian Funds Trust
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

a future date. SFT International Bond Fund may also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by SFT International Bond Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates from an independent pricing service. SFT International Bond Fund is subject to the credit risk that the other party will not complete the obligations of the contract. The fair values of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are obtained from an independent pricing source.

Futures Transactions

To gain exposure to, or for protection from market changes, the Funds (excluding the SFT Government Money Market Fund) may buy and sell financial futures contracts traded on any U.S. or foreign exchange. The Funds may also buy and write put and call options on these futures contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts and related options include the possibility of an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value as determined by each relevant clearing agency and is aggregated at a Futures Commission Merchant ("FCM") which is registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission or the applicable regulator. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by a Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expired. In the event of default, counterparty risk is significantly reduced as creditors to the FCM do not have claim to a Fund's assets in the segregated account. For a listing of open futures contracts see the Investments in Securities for each Fund.

Interest Rate Swaps

The SFT International Bond Fund may enter into interest rate swap contracts primarily to manage interest rate risk. An interest rate swap is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange interest rate cash flows during the life of the agreement. Each party's payment obligation is computed based on different interest rates, applied to a notional amount. Interest rate swaps often exchange payments based on a fixed rate for payments linked to a floating rate (i.e. LIBOR).

These agreements are executed on a registered exchange ("centrally cleared interest rate swaps"), significantly reducing risk from counterparty default. Upon entering into an interest rate swap contract, a Fund is required to pledge an initial margin, and the daily change in fair value is accounted for as a variation margin payable or receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Over the term of the contract, contractually required payments to be paid and to be received are accrued daily and recorded as unrealized appreciation and depreciation until the payments are made.

Options Transactions

Each Fund (excluding the SFT Government Money Market Fund) may write (i.e., sell) covered call and secured put options and purchase and sell put and call options written by others. An option is a type of derivative financial instrument. The Funds may invest in derivative financial instruments, including options, in order to manage risk or gain exposure to various other investments or markets. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is that a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised.

The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does

Securian Funds Trust

not exist. Option contracts are valued daily and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of a security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. The Funds designate collateral consisting of cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid assets sufficient to collateralize the market value of written options.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a Fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. Each Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agencies securities or corporate securities having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of the repurchase agreement. If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the value of those securities has declined, a Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities. Repurchase agreements are carried at amortized cost. At June 30, 2020, no Funds were invested in repurchase agreements.

Federal Taxes

Each Fund, other than SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund, SFT International Bond Fund, SFT Managed Volatility Equity Fund, and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund, qualifies for federal income tax purposes as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). A Fund is treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a partnership if it has more than one shareholder. A Fund's election to be treated as a partnership is not expected to result in any material adverse federal income tax consequences to any owner of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, or in the tax treatment of any such contract or policy. As a partnership, a Fund is not subject to income tax, and any income, gains, deductions or losses of the Fund will instead pass through and be taken into account for federal income tax purposes by its partners, which will be Minnesota Life and Securian Life through their respective separate accounts. SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund, SFT Managed Volatility Equity Fund and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund are treated as disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. While the Trust anticipates that each Fund other than SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund, SFT Managed Volatility Equity Fund, and SFT T. Rowe Price Value Fund will always have two shareholders, Minnesota Life and Securian Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Minnesota Life, such ownership could change and accordingly a Fund may at some time have only one shareholder and would be treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. A disregarded entity is disregarded for federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from its owner, and the owner is treated as directly owning the assets of the disregarded entity and takes into account for federal income tax purposes the income, gains, deductions and losses relating to those assets.

SFT International Bond Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all (or a sufficient amount) its taxable income and net capital gain to its shareholders. Therefore, no income tax provision is required.

The FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" (ASC 740), provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. The Funds have evaluated the implications of ASC 740 for all open tax years, and have determined there is no impact to the Funds' financial statements as of the six months ended June 30, 2020. The Funds' federal and state income returns for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired (2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019) remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and states department of revenue.

Securian Funds Trust
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily because of temporary book-to-tax differences.

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains (if any) for the SFT Government Money Market Fund are declared daily and reinvested at month-end in additional shares of capital stock. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains (if any) for the SFT International Bond Fund are generally declared and reinvested in additional shares of capital stock on an annual basis. The SFT International Bond Fund uses consent dividends in place of regular distributions. The Funds within the partnership are not required to distribute taxable income, and Funds other than SFT Government Money Market Fund and SFT International Bond Fund will not distribute taxable income.

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Forward Commitment Basis

Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased or sold by a Fund on a when-issued or forward commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations. As of June 30, 2020, the SFT Core Bond Fund had entered into outstanding, when-issued or forward commitments at a fair value of $3,841,534. The Fund has segregated assets to cover such when-issued and forward commitments.

Cross-Trades

The Funds are permitted to purchase and sell securities ("cross-trade") from and to other Funds within the Trust as well as outside of the Trust, where both accounts are managed by the same sub-adviser pursuant to "Cross-Trading" procedures adopted by the Board. These procedures have been designed to ensure that any cross-trade of securities by a respective Fund from and to another Fund that is or could be considered an affiliate of the Funds under certain limited circumstances by virtue of having a common investment adviser, common officer, or common trustee complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under these procedures, each cross-trade is effected at the current market price to save costs where allowed. Pursuant to these procedures, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Funds engaged in the following cross-trades, which resulted in the following net realized gains (losses):

Securian Funds Trust
Notes to Financial Statements – continued

(4)  Expenses and Related Party Transactions – (continued)

Operating expenses not attributable to a specific Fund are generally allocated based upon the proportionate daily net assets of each Fund.

Administrative Services Fee

The Trust has an agreement with Securian Financial Group under which Securian Financial Group provides accounting, legal, security valuations and other administrative services. Each Fund reimburses Securian Financial Group quarterly for the actual costs incurred in performing such services, as determined in accordance with Securian Financial Group's customary cost accounting procedures consistently applied. Total quarterly administrative fees by Fund range from $6,800 to $24,000.

Accounting Services

The Trust has an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") in which State Street provides daily fund accounting and investment administration services. In 2020, these fees ranged from 0.01% to 0.05% of net assets depending on the size and makeup of the respective Fund. The fees are based upon a calculation of multiple factors including base fees, size of assets, and certain other fees.

Distribution Fees

The Trust has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan which covers all of its Class 2 shares ("Covered Funds"). Each Covered Fund pays distribution fees at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Covered Fund. These fees are paid out of the Covered Fund's assets, which reduces a Covered Fund's net assets as do other Covered Fund expenses. The fees are paid to Securian Financial Services, Inc. ("Securian Financial"), the Trust's underwriter, to pay for distribution-related expenses and activities in connection with the distribution of the Covered Fund's shares. Securian Financial may also use the fees to pay insurance companies, dealers or others for certain non-distribution services as provided for in the distribution plan.

Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement for the SFT Government Money Market Fund

Effective May 1, 2012, the Board approved a Restated Net Investment Income Maintenance Agreement among Securian Funds Trust (on behalf of SFT Government Money Market Fund), Securian AM and Securian Financial. Under such Agreement, Securian AM agrees to waive, reimburse or pay SFT Government Money Market Fund expenses so that the Fund's daily net investment income does not fall below zero. Securian Financial may also waive its Rule 12b-1 fees. Securian AM and Securian Financial each has the option under the Agreement to recover the full amount waived, reimbursed or paid (the "Expense Waiver") on any day on which the Fund's net investment income exceeds zero. On any day, however, the Expense Waiver does not constitute an obligation of the Fund unless Securian AM or Securian Financial has expressly exercised its right to recover a specified portion of the Expense Waiver on that day, in which case such specified portion is then due and payable by the Fund. In addition, the right of Securian AM and/or Securian Financial to recover the Expense Waiver is subject to the following limitations: (1) if a repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund would cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero, such repayment is deferred until a date when repayment would not cause the Fund's net investment income to fall below zero; (2) the right to recover any portion of the Expense Waiver expires three years after the effective date of that portion of the Expense Waiver; and (3) any repayment of the Expense Waiver by the Fund cannot cause the Fund's expense ratio to exceed 1.25%.

If Securian AM and Securian Financial exercise their rights to be paid such waived amounts, the Fund's future yield will be negatively affected for an indefinite period. The Agreement shall continue in effect following April 30, 2021, provided such continuance is specifically approved by a majority of the Trust's independent Trustees.

SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund, SFT Government Money Market Fund, and SFT Managed Volatility Fund Expense Waivers

Securian AM and the Trust, on behalf of the SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund, SFT Government Money Market Fund, and SFT Managed Volatility Equity Fund, have entered into Expense Limitation Agreements which limit the operating expenses of these Funds, excluding certain expenses (such as interest expense, acquired fund fees, cash overdraft fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business), through April 30, 2021.

The Agreements renew annually for a full year each year thereafter unless terminated by Securian AM upon at least 30 days' notice prior to the end of a contract term. The Funds are authorized to reimburse Securian AM for management fees previously waived and/or for the cost of expenses previously paid by Securian AM pursuant to this agreement, provided that such reimbursement will not cause any Fund to exceed any limits in effect at the time of such reimbursement.

(5)  Illiquid Investments

Non-Money Market Funds – Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, no Fund may acquire an "illiquid investment" if, immediately after the acquisition, the Fund would have invested more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid investments. Rule 22e-4 generally defines an illiquid investment as any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. At June 30, 2020, the SFT Core Bond Fund and SFT International Bond Fund held illiquid securities of $4,088,104, and $115,173 respectively, which represent 0.8% and 0.1% of net assets, respectively.

Government Money Market Funds – Money market funds are governed by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. By definition, a government money market fund is a fund that invests 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities, and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized fully. Consequently, the SFT Government Money Market Fund currently limits investments in "illiquid securities" to 0.5% of net assets at the time of purchase. Rule 2a-7 defines an illiquid security as a security that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven calendar days at approximately the value ascribed to it by the Fund. At June 30, 2020, the Fund did not hold illiquid securities.

(6)  Fair Value Measurement

The Trust has established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The hierarchy also establishes a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs include information market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the Trust's estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in valuing the financial asset and liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Level 1 includes unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2 includes other significant observable market-based inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk and prepayment speed). Level 3 includes unobservable inputs, which may include the advisor's own assumptions in determining the fair value of an investment or are based on independent non-binding broker quotes. Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in total investments, such as futures, forwards, swaps, and written options.

The following is a summary of the levels used for the six months ended June 30, 2020, in valuing the Fund's assets and liabilities (please see the Investments in Securities for each Fund for a listing of all securities within each category):

*  Investments in Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments reflected in the Investment in Securities. All derivatives currently held are reflected at the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the investments.

Level 2 Measurements:

Government obligations comprised of U.S. Treasury, agency and government guaranteed fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs such as the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield curve, the spread of the U.S. Treasury curve for the identical security and comparable securities that are actively traded.

Asset-backed and other mortgage-backed securities comprised of RMBS, CMBS and ABS fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market inputs including spreads for actively traded securities, spreads off benchmark yields, expected prepayment speeds and volumes, current and forecasted loss severity, rating, weighted average coupon, weighted average maturity, average delinquency rates, geographic region, debt-service

coverage ratios and issuance-specific information including: collateral type, payment terms of the underlying assets, payment priority within the tranche, structure of the security, deal performance and vintage of loans, etc.

Corporate obligations comprised of U.S. corporate and foreign corporate fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market and income approaches. Valuation is based primarily on quoted prices in markets that are not active, or using matrix pricing or other similar techniques that use standard market observable inputs such as benchmark yields, spreads off benchmark yields, new issuances, issuer rating, duration, and trades of identical or comparable securities. Investment grade privately placed securities are valued using discounted cash flow methodologies using standard market observable inputs, and inputs derived from, or corroborated by, market observable data including market yield curve, duration, call provisions, observable prices and spreads for similar publicly traded or privately traded issues that incorporate the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer.

Long-term and short-term debt securities comprised of foreign government and state and political subdivision fixed maturity securities – These securities are principally valued using the market approach. Valuation is based primarily on matrix pricing or other similar techniques using standard market observable inputs including benchmark U.S. Treasury or other yields, issuer ratings, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads and reported trades of similar securities, including those within the same sub-sector or with a similar maturity or credit rating.

Forward Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Swap Contracts – These derivatives are traded in the over-the-counter derivative market and are principally valued using market price quotations or industry recognized modeling techniques. The significant inputs to the models are observable in the market or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. These significant inputs may include interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rate curves, contractual terms, market prices, and measures of volatility.

The Funds' policy is to recognize transfers between the levels as of the end of the period. There were no transfers of financial assets between Levels 1 and 2 during the period.

(7)  Derivative Instruments Reporting

The Trust provides, when applicable, disclosures of the location, by line item, of fair value amounts in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the location, by line item, of amounts of gains and losses reported in the Statement of Operations. The derivative instruments outstanding as of period end are disclosed in the Investments in Securities.

(7)  Derivative Instruments Reporting – (continued)

Equity derivatives were purchased or sold to manage the SFT Index 400 Mid-Cap and SFT Index 500 Funds' shareholder liquidity and to attempt to replicate intended stock investments to maintain fully invested Funds. Equity index options are utilized by the SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund and the SFT Managed Volatility Equity Fund to manage the equity exposure while attempting to reduce the volatility and risk of the Funds.

Interest rate derivatives were purchased or sold in the SFT Core Bond Fund, SFT Dynamic Volatility Fund and the SFT International Bond Fund to both manage the average duration of the fixed income portfolio and to hedge against the effects of interest rate changes on a portfolio's current or intended investments.

Foreign exchange derivatives were used to attempt to hedge against the effects of exchange rate changes within the SFT International Bond Fund's current or intended investments in foreign securities, as well as to more efficiently obtain exposure to foreign currencies or to take advantage of cross currency markets in order to benefit from valuation differentials and shifts in pricing within the currency markets.

The Funds may be exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. The Funds manage credit risk related to derivatives by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties. Generally, the current credit exposure of the derivative contracts is limited to the positive estimated fair value of derivative contracts at the reporting date after taking into consideration the existence of netting arrangements and any collateral received pursuant to credit support annexes. Because exchange traded derivatives are purchased through regulated exchanges and positions are settled regularly, the Funds have minimal exposure to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to such derivative instruments. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 none of the Funds' derivatives were subject to master netting arrangements.

(8)  Affiliated Ownership

The SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund invests in underlying securities and other investment companies, of which certain underlying funds (the "affiliated underlying funds") may be deemed to be under common control with the SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund because they share the same investment advisor, Securian AM, and because they are overseen by the same Board of Trustees. The SFT Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund will achieve its equity exposure by investing primarily in Class 1 Shares of the SFT Index 500 Fund, an affiliated fund in the Trust that seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the common stocks included in the Standard & Poor's 500® Index. A summary of all transactions with the affiliated SFT Index 500 Fund as of June 30, 2020 are as follows:

(9)  Other Risks

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The impact of COVID-19 could be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a Fund's investments. This may impact liquidity in the marketplace, which in turn may affect the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects cannot be determined.

Fund Expenses Paid by Shareholders

Shareholders of the Trust incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; (the Trust does not impose transaction costs, but you will incur such costs in connection with the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts that invest in the Funds) and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Trust expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, January 1, 2020 through June 30, 2020. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by number of days in most recent fiscal half-year divided by 365 to reflect the one-half year period.

Actual Expenses

The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for the Funds. You may use the information in this table, 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 for the fund you own 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 also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. 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 the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds' and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example of the funds you own with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other similar funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in both tables 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 information provided in the hypothetical example 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.

Securian Funds Trust
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Advisory Contracts

(unaudited)

Each year, the Board of Trustees of Securian Funds Trust (the "Trust") votes on the renewal of the Trust's Investment Advisory Agreement with Securian Asset Management, Inc. ("Securian AM"). The Board most recently unanimously reapproved the Investment Advisory Agreement on January 30, 2020. At this meeting, the Board of Trustees also reapproved the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements between Securian AM and Franklin Advisers, Inc. (for the International Bond Fund), between Securian AM and Ivy Investment Management Company (for Ivy Growth Fund) between Securian AM and Ivy Investment Management Company (for Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund), between Securian AM and Wellington Management Company LLC (for Wellington Core Equity Fund) and between Securian AM and T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (for T. Rowe Price Value Fund). Collectively, the Funds managed by sub-advisers are referred to as the "Sub-Advised Funds".

Trustees receive a variety of information throughout the year about each Fund's investment performance, adherence to investment policies, expenses, sales and redemptions, regulatory compliance and management. Trustees meet at least once each year with each Fund's portfolio management team (or, in the case of the Sub-Advised Funds, representatives of such team). Trustees also receive frequent updates on industry developments and best practices, changes in Securian AM's organization and staffing, brokerage allocation and other matters. Trustees evaluated all information available to them on a Fund-by-Fund basis.

The Trustees also reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their legal duties and responsibilities in connection with this annual review and met alone with independent legal counsel.

Management Fee and Other Expenses

The Trustees reviewed the January 2020 report prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge") containing comparisons of each Fund's investment management, non-management and total expenses with industry peers independently selected by Broadridge.

Based on this information, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fee payable by each Fund to Securian AM is fair and reasonable. The Trustees also concluded that the advisory fees payable by the Dynamic Managed Volatility and Managed Volatility Equity Funds are for services that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, services provided pursuant to the advisory agreement of any other fund in which the Dynamic Managed Volatility and Managed Volatility Equity Funds invest.

Fees Charged to Other Advisory Clients of Securian AM

The Trustees observed that Securian AM's advisory fees for non-fund institutional clients are generally lower than the advisory fees charged to a Fund with a similar strategy. The Trustees concluded, however, that the higher fees charged to the Funds are justified by the additional services provided by Securian AM in managing the Funds (including the provision of office facilities, officers, administration and compliance, the coordination of Trust board, committee and vendor functions, regulatory filings and the performance of most Trust operations).

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to Securian AM

The Trustees review quarterly Board reports on Securian AM's profitability in managing each Fund. The Trustees recognized that comparative profitability information is not generally ascertainable. Nonetheless, the Trustees did not view Securian AM's profitability from any Fund as excessive.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees also reviewed whether current fee levels appropriately capture and share economies of scale (if any) with Fund investors, The Trustees noted that substantially all of Securian AM's Funds have break-points in their fee structures that provides the opportunity for sharing economies of scale with Fund investors as such Funds' assets grow. With respect to each of the Dynamic Managed Volatility and Managed Volatility Equity Funds, the


104



Securian Funds Trust
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Advisory Contracts – continued
(unaudited)

Trustees noted that, while such Funds do not currently have management fee break-points, their contractual and actual management fee levels, as well as total expense levels, were in the lowest quintile of their peer group averages, as reported by Broadridge. With respect to the Wellington Core Equity Fund, which likewise currently does not have a management fee breakpoint, the Trustees noted that such Fund's current management fee level falls within the second lowest quintile of its Broadridge peer group.

Investment Results

The Trustees review a quarterly report comparing each Fund's investment performance for the most recently completed calendar quarter and one, three, five and, where applicable, ten-year periods then ended with Broadridge peer groups and with one or more benchmark indices.

The Trustees noted that the Bond Fund was in line with its Lipper peers and benchmark for the most recent quarter and one-year period, but out-performed its peers and benchmark for the three, five and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2019. They noted that the International Bond Fund outperformed its Lipper peers and benchmark for the most recent quarter and for the ten-year period, but substantially underperformed for the one, three and five-year periods. The Trustees observed that the Real Estate Securities Fund underperformed during the one-year period, but performed in line with its peers and benchmark during the most recent quarter and all other periods reported. They then noted that the S&P 400 Index Fund performed in line with its peers and benchmark during all reporting periods, but observed that Lipper does not publish a universe of mid-cap index funds. The Trustees also noted that the S&P 500 Index Fund slightly underperformed its peers and benchmark on a net-of-expenses basis, but performed in line with its benchmark before expenses. They also noted that the Government Money Market Fund's somewhat underperformed its peers and benchmark for all relevant periods due to its relative size. The Trustees then observed that the Dynamic Managed Volatility Fund and the Managed Volatility Equity Fund performed consistently with their objectives and were competitive with their peers. With respect to the Sub-Advised Funds, the Trustees noted that Ivy Growth Fund outperformed its peers and benchmark for the one and three-year periods, was in line with its peers and benchmark for the five-year period, but substantially underperformed its peers and benchmark during the most recent quarter. They noted that the Ivy Small Cap Growth Fund underperformed both its peers and benchmark for the most recent quarter as well as the one-year period, performed in line with its peer and benchmark during the three-year period and outperformed its peers and benchmark during the five-year period. The Trustees then observed that Wellington Core Equity Fund outperformed its peers and benchmark for the most recent quarter and one, three and five-year periods. Finally, the Trustees noted that T. Rowe Price Value Fund substantially underperformed its peers and benchmark during the most recent quarter, performed substantially in line with its peers and benchmark during the one-year period and five-year period, and somewhat outperformed its peers and benchmark during the three-year period. The Trustees reviewed attribution analyses and portfolio positioning on all Funds, particularly the Funds with more recent underperformance. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that reapproving the Funds' Investment Advisory Agreement and each Sub-Advised Fund's Investment Subadvisory Agreement were in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

Ancillary Benefits to Securian AM and Its Affiliates

The Trustees also considered that Securian AM and its affiliates benefit from certain soft-dollar arrangements. The Trustees noted that Securian AM's profitability would be somewhat lower if it had to pay for these benefits out of its own assets. The Trustees also noted that Securian Financial Services, Inc. (the Trust's distributor) receives 12b-1 fees from the Funds. The Trustees also noted that Minnesota Life Insurance Company, an affiliate of Securian AM, benefits by performing certain legal, compliance and other administrative services for the Trust, in return for a reimbursement of costs it incurs in connection with its provision of such services. The Trustees


105



Securian Funds Trust
Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Advisory Contracts – continued
(unaudited)

also recognize that Securian AM and its affiliates derive reputational and other benefits from their association with the Funds and Trust.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by Securian AM

In addition to investment management services, Securian AM provides the Trust with office space, administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by other Trust services providers) and executive and other personnel as are necessary for its operations. Securian AM pays all of the compensation of management Trustees, officers and employees of the Trust (except that each Fund pays an equitable share of the compensation expense of the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer). The Trustees considered the quality and scope of services provided by Securian AM under the Advisory Agreement and concluded that Securian AM has provided commendable executive and administrative management and other services during and prior to the last year.

Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements

At the January 30, 2020 meeting, the Trustees also unanimously reapproved the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Sub-Advised Funds. In addition to the Trustees' review of the Sub-Advised Funds' investment performance and expense ratios (as set forth above), the Trustees also requested and evaluated other information, including a report on each sub-adviser's organization and current staffing, a report on brokerage allocation practices and related soft dollar arrangements, assurances that each Sub-Advised Fund will be managed in accordance with its stated investment objectives, policies and limitations, assurances that all disclosures relating to the sub-adviser reflected in the Trust's registration statement are complete and accurate, and assurance that the sub-adviser will operate in full compliance with applicable laws, regulations and exemptive orders. The Trustees also reviewed a summary of each sub-adviser's code of ethics and compliance program. The Trustees requested, but did not receive, an analysis of each sub-adviser's profitability in managing the Fund. However, the Trustees noted that Securian AM is unaffiliated with each sub-adviser and that the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreements were negotiated on an "arm's-length" basis.

The Trustees also reviewed the allocation of duties and responsibilities with respect to each Sub-Advised Fund between Securian AM and the Fund's sub-adviser. The Trustees noted that Securian AM is responsible for the selection, monitoring and oversight of each sub-adviser, the fulfillment or oversight of substantially all of each Sub-Advised Fund's legal and regulatory requirements, the preparation for and facilitation of all Board of Trustee, Audit Committee and Governance Committee meetings, and many other requirements. Based on this review, the Trustees concluded that the allocation of the overall advisory fee of each Sub-Advised Fund between Securian AM and the Sub-Adviser is fair and appropriate. The Trustees also concluded that the portion of each Sub-Advised Fund's overall advisory fee that is retained by Securian AM represents fair and appropriate compensation to Securian AM for its retained duties and responsibilities.

Based on the foregoing factors, the Trustees concluded that reapproving each Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of each Sub-Advised Fund and its shareholders.

Securian Funds Trust
Trustees and Executive Officers
(unaudited)

Under Delaware law, the Board of Trustees of the Trust has overall responsibility for managing the Trust in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Trust. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Trust's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to the Trust, and review the performance of the Trust and its Funds. One of the four current Trustees is considered an "interested person" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust. The other three Trustees, because they are not interested persons of the Trust, are considered independent ("Independent Trustees") and are not employees or officers of, and have no financial interest in, the Trust's investment adviser, Securian Asset Management, Inc. (Securian AM) or its affiliated companies, including Minnesota Life Insurance Company. 75% of the Board of Trustees is required to be comprised of Independent Trustees.

Only executive officers and other officers who perform policy-making functions with the Trust are listed. None of the Trustees is a director of any public company (a company required to file reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or of any registered investment companies other than the Trust. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until his or her resignation, death or removal.

ITEM 10. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

 

The registrant has a governance committee of its board of trustees, the members of which are all trustees who are not “interested persons” of the registrant, as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“independent trustees”). The governance committee, which operates in accordance with a separate governance committee charter approved by the board of trustees, selects and recommends to the board of trustees individuals for nomination as independent trustees. The names of potential independent director candidates are drawn from a number of sources, including recommendations from management of Securian Asset Management, Inc., the registrant’s investment adviser. Each candidate is evaluated by the governance committee with respect to the relevant business and industry experience that would enable the candidate to serve effectively as an independent director, as well as his or her compatibility with respect to business philosophy and style. The members of the governance committee may conduct an in-person interview of each viable candidate using a standardized questionnaire. When all of the viable candidates have been evaluated and interviewed, the governance committee determines which of the viable candidates should be presented to the board of trustees for selection to become a member of the board of trustees.

 

 

 

 

Inasmuch as the registrant does not hold annual meetings of shareholders and meetings of shareholders occur only intermittently, the governance committee does not at present consider nominees recommended by shareholders.
