Dear Shareholders,

U.S. stocks flat, foreign markets strong in 2012 finale

After a strong third quarter, U.S. stock market averages treaded water as 2012 came to a close. However, they ended the year up strongly, as first and third quarter gains more than offset second and fourth quarter weakness. Typically a strong quarter for domestic small and mid cap issues, the fourth quarter of 2012 indeed proved to be another year-end positive for small stocks. For the full calendar year 2012, the S&P 500 Index rose 16.00%.

Stock markets outside the United States generated some of the best returns for the fourth quarter, as optimism rebounded, thanks to the September actions of the European Central Bank in support of the euro and an improving outlook from China. Both developed and emerging foreign markets topped U.S. stocks by a solid margin.

Corporate and emerging markets led fixed income

Fixed-income investors took their cue from the equity markets and continued to favor the highest risk sectors through the end of 2012. Global fixed-income returns posted mixed results in the final quarter of the year. Gains were the highest for corporate high-yield and emerging market bonds. Although investors remained cautious ahead of the year-end budget negotiations, better economic data and a further improvement in the European sovereign debt crisis supported riskier assets and depressed government bond prices. In December, the Fed announced its intention to continue to purchase both Treasury and mortgage-backed securities and said that it would seek to keep short-term interest rates unchanged until the unemployment rate reaches 6.5%, or inflation turned noticeably higher.

Performance Summary

> Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund (the Fund) Class A shares returned 16.92% excluding sales charges for the 12-month period that ended December 31, 2012.

> The Fund's benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index returned 18.06% for the same 12-month period.

> Strong results in the overweighted retailing and self-storage industries helped Fund performance but not enough to overcome disappointments in the apartment property group.

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

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

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

The FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index reflects performance of all publicly traded equity real estate investment trusts (REITs), other than those designated as timber REITs.

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

For the 12 months ended December 31, 2012, the Fund's Class A shares returned 16.92% excluding sales charges, while the benchmark FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Index gained 18.06%. Overweights relative to the benchmark in the retail and self-storage property groups helped performance for the year, while investments in apartment complex properties accounted for the modest shortfall relative to the index in a stellar year for real estate investments.

Modest Economic Growth

The U.S. economy expanded at a modest but sluggish pace in 2012. Job growth picked up but failed to reach a level that could drive unemployment significantly lower. Manufacturing activity stalled during the summer and again late in the year, a sign that the engine of this recovery had lost some steam. The housing market showed steady improvement throughout the year, but its contribution to growth was modest. A host of other factors weighed on the economy. Superstorm Sandy battered the Northeast in October, with damage estimated to exceed $65 billion. Europe's debt woes, economic slowdown in China and Congressional wrangling over the fiscal cliff of tax increases and spending cuts scheduled for year end all contributed to an uncertain environment. At the very last minute, Congress raised income, dividend, capital gains and estate taxes on the wealthiest Americans. However, it failed to produce meaningful spending cuts that would reduce the budget deficit or address the debt-ceiling limit that the federal government will reach early in 2013.

Despite these challenges, the financial markets were buoyed by the actions of European and U.S. policymakers, who opened the liquidity spigots. In August, the European Central Bank unveiled a package of measures that involved buying sovereign bonds to ease the strain of Europe's debt crisis and safeguard the euro. In the United States, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) announced that it would keep short-term interest rates near zero until unemployment declined to 6.5% or inflation exceeded 2.5%. The Fed also extended its purchase of long-term Treasury and agency-backed mortgage securities to maintain downward pressure on longer-term interest rates, support mortgage markets and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative.

In this environment, real estate investment trusts (REITs) outperformed the overall equity market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, aided by strong industry fundamentals, continued access to low-cost capital and healthy earnings gains.

Retail, Self-Storage Holdings Outperformed

The Fund's overweight positions, combined with good security selection, in retail and self-storage REITs helped support Fund results. Both groups featured companies with strong fundamentals that included healthy occupancy rates and good pricing power. In retail, the industry group that was the biggest contributor to relative results, two standouts were CBL & Associates and Simon Properties. A mid-sized owner of regional shopping malls and other properties in 26 states, CBL was aided by improving fundamentals that allowed it to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce its cost of capital. Simon Properties, the nation's largest owner of regional malls, features a portfolio of high-quality malls that generated rising revenues based on higher rents, growing occupancy rates and increased sales per-square-foot. Other retail REITs that supported performance included DDR, which owns a network of Power Center shopping centers, and Weingarten Realty Investors.

Fund holdings are as of the date given, are subject to change at any time, and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security.

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

Analyzing Your Fund's Expenses

To illustrate these ongoing costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the "Actual" column is calculated using the Fund's actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under the Actual column. The amount listed in the "Hypothetical" column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund's actual return) and then applies the Fund's actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or the expenses you paid during the period. See "Compare With Other Funds" below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.

Compare With Other Funds

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

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Committee meets at least monthly to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of Board-approved valuation control policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are readily available, including recommendations of third party pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing, including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third-party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. The Committee reports to the Board, with members of the Committee meeting with the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

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

The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund's investments at December 31, 2012:

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a non-diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Fund Shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class K, Class R, Class R4, Class R5, Class W and Class Z shares. All share classes have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Each share class has its own expense structure and sales charges, as applicable.

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

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

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

Class I shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to the Columbia Family of Funds.

Class K shares (formerly Class R4 shares) are not subject to sales charges; however, this share class is closed to new investors. Effective October 25, 2012, Class R4 shares were renamed Class K shares.

Class R shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to qualifying institutional investors.

Class R4 shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals. Class R4 shares commenced operations on November 8, 2012.

Class R5 shares are not subject to sales charges. Effective November 8, 2012, Class R5 shares are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment professionals. Prior to November 8, 2012, Class R5 shares were closed to new investors.

Class W shares are not subject to sales charges and are only available to investors purchasing through authorized investment programs managed by investment professionals, including discretionary managed account programs.

Class Z shares are not subject to sales charges, and are only available to certain investors.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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

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

Security Valuation

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

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

Investments in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at net asset value.

Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par upon reaching 60 days to maturity. Short-term securities maturing in more than 60 days from the valuation date are valued at the market price or approximate market value based on current interest rates.

Option contracts are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and asked prices on their primary exchanges. Option contracts, including over-the-counter (OTC) option contracts, with no readily available market value are valued using quotations obtained from independent brokers as of the close of the NYSE.

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

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

Derivative Instruments

The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more other assets, such as securities, currencies, commodities or indices. Derivative instruments may be used to maintain cash reserves while maintaining exposure to certain other assets, to offset anticipated declines in values of investments, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligation under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The Fund and any counterparty are required to maintain an agreement that requires the Fund and that counterparty to monitor (on a daily basis) the net fair value of all derivatives entered into pursuant to the agreement between the Fund and such counterparty. If the net fair value of such derivatives between the Fund and that counterparty exceeds a certain threshold (as defined in the agreement), the Fund or the counterparty (as the case may be) is required to post cash and/or securities as collateral. Fair values of derivatives presented in the financial statements are not netted with the fair value of other derivatives or with any collateral amounts posted by the Fund or any counterparty.

Options Contracts

Options are contracts which entitle the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the index option contract. The Fund wrote covered call options to produce incremental income, consistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies and policies. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the OTC market depends upon the performance of the other party. Cash collateral may be collected or posted by the Fund to secure certain OTC option contract trades. Cash collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the counterparty or the Fund upon closure, exercise or expiration of the contract.

Option contracts purchased are recorded as investments and options contracts written are recorded as liabilities of the Fund. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the option contract expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

The risk in buying an option contract is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option contract is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist. The risk in writing a call option contract 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 contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option contract is exercised. The Fund's maximum payout in the case of written put option contracts represents the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Fund could be required to make under the contract. For OTC options contracts, the transaction is also subject to counterparty credit risk. The

maximum payout amount may be offset by the subsequent sale, if any, of assets obtained upon the exercise of the put option contracts by holders of the option contracts or proceeds received upon entering into the contracts.

Contracts and premiums associated with options contracts written for the year ended December 31, 2012 are as follows:

	Calls

Effects of Derivative Transactions in the Financial Statements

The following tables are intended to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities; the impact of derivative transactions on the Fund's operations over the period including realized gains or losses and unrealized gains or losses. The derivative schedules following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.

At December 31, 2012, the fund had no outstanding derivatives.

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may engage in repurchase agreement transactions with institutions that management has determined are creditworthy. The Fund, through the custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities collateralizing a repurchase agreement. Management is responsible for

determining that the collateral is at least equal, at all times, to the value of the repurchase obligation including interest. A repurchase agreement transaction involves certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty. These risks include possible delays in or restrictions on the Fund's ability to dispose of the underlying securities and a possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to assert its rights.

Security Transactions

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

Income Recognition

Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in business development companies (BDCs), exchange traded funds (ETFs) and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information on the character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on estimates made by the Fund's management if actual information has not yet been reported. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as realized gain. Management's estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the BDCs, ETFs and REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Expenses

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

Determination of Class Net Asset Value

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

Federal Income Tax Status

The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially

all of its tax exempt and taxable income (including net short-term capital gains), if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.

Distributions to Shareholders

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

Guarantees and Indemnifications

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The objective of the FASB is to enhance current disclosure requirements on offsetting of certain assets and liabilities and to enable financial statement users to compare financial statements prepared under GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Specifically, ASU No. 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The standard requires disclosure of collateral received in connection with the master netting agreements or similar agreements. The effective date of ASU No. 2011-11 is for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

Note 3. Fees and Compensation Paid to Affiliates

Investment Management Fees

Under an Investment Management Services Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), determines which securities will be purchased, held or sold. The investment management fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.69% to 0.62% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective investment management fee rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 0.69% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Administration Fees

Under an Administrative Services Agreement, the Investment Manager also serves as the Fund Administrator. The Fund pays the Fund Administrator an annual fee for administration and accounting services equal to a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets that declines from 0.06% to 0.04% as the Fund's net assets increase. The effective administration fee rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 was 0.06% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

Compensation of Board Members

Board members are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Trust's eligible Trustees may participate in a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan) which may be terminated at any time. Obligations of the Plan will be paid solely out of the Fund's assets.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund pays its pro-rata share of the expenses associated with the Chief Compliance Officer. The Fund's expenses for the Chief Compliance Officer will not exceed $15,000 per year.

Transfer Agent Fees

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

The Transfer Agent receives monthly account-based service fees based on the number of open accounts and is reimbursed

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

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

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund's effective transfer agent fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Class A	0.22	%
Class B	0.22
Class C	0.22
Class K	0.04
Class R	0.22
Class R4	0.17
Class R5	0.01
Class W	0.22
Class Z	0.22

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the Fund's initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agent fees. These minimum account balance fees are recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses by $3,713.

The Fund and certain other associated investment companies, have severally, but not jointly, guaranteed the performance and observance of all the terms and conditions of a lease entered into by Seligman Data Corp. (SDC), the former transfer agent, including the payment of rent by SDC (the Guaranty). The lease and the Guaranty expire in January 2019. At December 31, 2012, the Fund's total potential future obligation over the life of the Guaranty is $35,654. The liability remaining at December 31, 2012 for non-recurring charges associated with the lease amounted to $19,259 and is

recorded as a part of payable for other expenses in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Plan Administration Fees

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

Distribution and Service Fees

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

The Plans require the payment of a monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class W shares of the Fund. The Plans also require the payment of a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75%, 0.75%, 0.50% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R and Class W shares, respectively.

The Fund may pay distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for shareholder liaison services), but currently limit such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

The Fund may pay a distribution fee up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares and a service fee of up to 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares, provided, however, that the aggregate fee shall not exceed 0.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class W shares.

Sales Charges

Sales charges, including front-end charges and CDSCs, received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares were $151,515 for Class A, $3,035 for Class B and $608 for Class C shares for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Expenses Waived/Reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its Affiliates

Effective May 1, 2012, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), through April 30, 2013, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board, so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, do not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:

Class A	1.38	%
Class B	2.13
Class C	2.13
Class I	0.97
Class K	1.27
Class R	1.63
Class R4*	1.13
Class R5	1.02
Class W	1.38
Class Z	1.13

*Annual rate is contractual from November 8, 2012 (the commencement of operations of Class R4 shares) through November 8, 2013.

Prior to May 1, 2012, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below), so that the Fund's net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund's custodian, did not exceed the following annual rates as a percentage of the class' average daily net assets:

Class A	1.26	%
Class B	2.01
Class C	2.01
Class I	0.90
Class K	1.20
Class R	1.51
Class R5	0.95
Class W	1.26
Class Z	1.01

Under the agreement governing these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and

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

Note 4. Federal Tax Information

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

At December 31, 2012, these differences are primarily due to differing treatment for capital loss carryforwards, deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, Trustees' deferred compensation, distribution reclassifications, foreign currency transactions, and re-characterization of distributions from investments. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made among the components of the Fund's net assets in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications. In the Statement of Assets and Liabilities the following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income	$	198,562
Accumulated net realized loss		96,912
Paid-in capital		(295,474	)

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses), as disclosed in the Statement of Operations, and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years indicated was as follows:

Year Ended December 31,	2012		2011
Ordinary income	$	9,725,123	$	9,131,986
Long-term capital gains		10,665,732		12,853,060
Total	$	20,390,855	$	21,985,046

Short-term capital gain distributions, if any, are considered ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

At December 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed accumulated long-term gain	$	3,717,327
Accumulated realized loss		(43,062,452	)
Unrealized appreciation		143,598,288

At December 31, 2012, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was $462,960,341 and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Unrealized appreciation	$	144,465,846
Unrealized depreciation		(867,558	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	143,598,288

The following capital loss carryforward, determined at December 31, 2012, may be available to reduce taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code:

Year of Expiration	Amount
2015	$	21,403,060
2016		10,496,317
2017		11,163,075
Total	$	43,062,452

For the year ended December 31, 2012, $20,239,680 of capital loss carryforward was utilized.

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

Note 5. Portfolio Information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term obligations, aggregated to $390,669,403 and $365,670,263, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Note 6. Redemption Fees

The Fund assessed a 2.00% redemption fee on the proceeds from fund shares only to shareholders who received their Class Z shares pursuant to the reorganization of RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund (see Note 11. Fund Merger) and only if such shareholders redeemed such shares (by sale or exchange) on or before April 11, 2012.

The redemption fee is designed to offset brokerage commissions and other costs associated with short term trading of fund shares. The redemption fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Redemption fees received by the Fund for the years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

Note 7. Lending of Portfolio Securities

Effective December 31, 2012, the Fund no longer participates in securities lending activity. Prior to that date, the Fund had entered into a Master Securities Lending Agreement (the Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (JPMorgan). The Agreement authorized JPMorgan as lending agent to lend securities to authorized borrowers in order to generate additional income on behalf of the Fund. Pursuant to the Agreement, the securities loaned were secured by cash or securities that either were issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government, its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities with value equal to at least 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Any additional collateral required to maintain those levels due to market fluctuations of the loaned securities was requested to be delivered the following business day. Cash collateral received was invested by the lending agent on behalf of the Fund into authorized investments pursuant to the Agreement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Fund received income for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of negotiated rebates paid to borrowers and fees paid to the lending agent for services provided and any other securities lending expenses. Net income earned from securities lending for the year ended December 31, 2012 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund continued to earn and accrue interest and dividends on the securities loaned. At December 31, 2012, the Fund did not have any securities on loan.

Note 8. Affiliated Money Market Fund

The Fund invests its daily cash balances in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds. The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as "Dividends — affiliated issuers" in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund.

Note 9. Shareholder Concentration

At December 31, 2012, two unaffiliated shareholder accounts owned an aggregate of 41.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially by such accounts. Affiliated shareholder accounts owned 11.5% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund.

Note 10. Line of Credit

The Fund has entered into a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. The credit facility agreement, as amended, which is a collective agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager, severally and not jointly, permits collective borrowings up to $500 million. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the overnight federal funds rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08% per annum.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the average daily loan balance outstanding on days when borrowing existed was $6,700,000 at a weighted average interest rate of 1.21%.

Note 11. Fund Merger

At the close of business on April 8, 2011, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund acquired the assets and assumed the identified liabilities of RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund, RiverSource Real Estate Fund, RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund, and RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund. The mergers were completed after shareholders of the acquired funds approved the plan on February 15, 2011.

The aggregate net assets of Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund immediately before the acquisitions were $376,118,171 and the combined net assets immediately after the acquisitions were $737,998,908. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 6,732,469 shares of RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund valued at $32,200,020 (including unrealized appreciation of $10,826,277); 19,288,542 shares of RiverSource Real Estate Fund valued at

$217,100,607 (including unrealized appreciation of $26,920,212); 3,559,733 shares of RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund valued at $14,932,477 (including unrealized appreciation of $2,556,790) and 9,613,304 shares of RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund valued at $97,647,633 (including unrealized appreciation of $9,524,654).

In exchange for shares of RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund, RiverSource Real Estate Fund, RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund and RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund issued the following number of shares:

	RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund		RiverSource Real Estate Fund		RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund		RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund
Class A		766,429		4,843,064		278,297		—
Class B		165,212		478,774		—		—
Class C		811,623		149,525		156,995		—
Class I		181,168		11,523,095		590,956		—
Class K		1,955		2,808		760		—
Class R		456,117		—		16,355		—
Class R5		141,132		—		125,893		—
Class W		—		241		—		—
Class Z		—		—		—		7,642,501

For financial reporting purposes, net assets received and shares issued by Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund were recorded at fair value; however, RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund, RiverSource Real Estate Fund, RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund, and RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund's cost of investments were carried forward.

The financial statements reflect the operations of Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund for the period prior to the mergers and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the mergers. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the mergers were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of RiverSource LaSalle Monthly Dividend Real Estate Fund, RiverSource Real Estate Fund, RiverSource LaSalle Global Real Estate Fund, and RiverSource LaSalle International Real Estate Fund that have been included in the combined Fund's Statement of Operations since the mergers were completed.

Assuming the mergers had been completed on January 1, 2011, Columbia Real Estate Equity Fund's pro-forma net

investment income, net gain on investments, net change in unrealized depreciation and net increase in net assets from operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 would have been $14.1 million, $46.6 million, $(14.7) million and $46.0 million, respectively.

Note 12. Significant Risks

Non-Diversification Risk

A non-diversified fund is permitted to invest a greater percentage of its total assets in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund may, therefore, have a greater risk of loss from a few issuers than a similar fund that invests more broadly.

Real Estate Sector Risk

The risks associated with the ownership of real estate and the real estate industry in general can include fluctuations in the value of the properties underlying the Fund's portfolio holdings, defaults by borrowers or tenants, market saturation, decreases in market rates for rents, and other economic, political, or regulatory occurrences affecting the real estate industry, including REITs.

REITs depend upon specialized management skills, may have limited financial resources, may have less trading volume, and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. REITs are also subject to the risk of failing to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income. Some REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are affected by risks similar to those associated with investments in debt securities including changes in interest rates and the quality of credit extended.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

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

Note 14. Information Regarding Pending and Settled Legal Proceedings

In December 2005, without admitting or denying the allegations, American Express Financial Corporation (AEFC, which is now known as Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial)) entered into settlement agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Minnesota Department of Commerce (MDOC) related to market timing activities. As a result, AEFC was censured and ordered to cease and desist from committing or causing any violations of certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Investment Company Act of 1940, and various Minnesota laws. AEFC agreed to pay disgorgement of $10 million and civil money penalties of $7 million. AEFC also agreed to retain an

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The registrant’s Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with such investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant (“Adviser Affiliates”), if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

The Audit Committee has adopted a Policy for Engagement of Independent Accountants for Audit and Non-Audit Services (“Policy”). The Policy sets forth the understanding of the Audit Committee regarding the engagement of the registrant’s independent accountants to provide (i) audit and permissible audit-related, tax and other services to the registrant (collectively “Fund Services”); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates, if the engagement relates directly to the operations or financial reporting of a Fund (collectively “Fund-related Adviser Services”); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and Adviser Affiliates. As set forth in this Fund Policy, a service will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditor; provided, however, that pre-approval of non-audit services to the Fund, the Adviser or Control Affiliates may be waived if certain de minimis requirements set forth in the SEC’s rules are met.

Under the Policy, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to any pre-designated member or members who are Independent Trustees/Directors. The member(s) to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting. The Audit Committee’s responsibilities with respect to the pre-approval of services performed by the independent accountants may not be delegated to management.

On an annual basis, at a regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, the Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer shall submit to the Audit Committee a schedule of the

types of Fund Services and Fund-related Adviser Services that are subject to specific pre-approval.

This schedule will provide a description of each type of service that is subject to specific pre-approval, along with total projected fees for each service. The pre-approval will generally cover a one-year period. The Audit Committee will review and approve the types of services and the projected fees for the next one-year period and may add to, or subtract from, the list of pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. This specific approval acknowledges that the Audit Committee is in agreement with the types of services that the independent accountants will be permitted to perform.

The Fund’s Treasurer or other Fund Officer shall report to the Audit Committee at each of its regular meetings regarding all Fund Services or Fund-related Adviser Services initiated since the last such report was rendered, including a general description of the services with forecasted fees for the annual period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor with actual fees during the current reporting period.

*****

(e)(2) 100% of the services performed for items (b) through (d) above during 2012 and 2011 were pre-approved by the registrant’s Audit Committee.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are approximately $267,700 and $241,000, respectively.

(h) The registrant’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
