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.

The Bloomberg Global Aggregate Hedged USD Index is an unmanaged index that is comprised of several other Bloomberg indexes that measure fixed-income performance of regions around the world while hedging the currency back to the US dollar. Effective August 24, 2021, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Hedged USD Index was re-branded as the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Hedged USD Index.

The Blended Benchmark consists of 25% MSCI ACWI with Developed Markets 100% Hedged to USD Index (Net) and 75% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Hedged USD Index. The MSCI ACWI with Developed Markets 100% Hedged to USD Index (Net) represents a close estimation of the performance that can be achieved by hedging the currency exposures of all developed market exposures of its parent index, the MSCI ACWI, to the USD, the “home” currency for the hedged index. The index is 100% hedged to the USD of developed market currencies by selling each foreign currency forward at the one-month Forward weight. The parent index is composed of large and mid-cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries and 27 Emerging Markets (EM) countries.

Indices are not available for investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes (except the MSCI ACWI with Developed Markets 100% Hedged to USD Index (Net), which reflects reinvested dividends net of withholding taxes) or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Fund may not match those in an index.

(a) The Fund has market exposure (long and/or short) to fixed income, equity asset classes and foreign currency through its investments in derivatives. The notional exposure of a financial instrument is the nominal or face amount that is used to calculate payments made on that instrument and/or changes in value for the instrument. The notional exposure is a hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed. Notional exposures provide a gauge for how the Fund may behave given changes in individual markets.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

At March 31, 2022, approximately 99.91% of the Fund’s shares were owned in the aggregate by affiliated funds-of-funds managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager). As a result of asset allocation decisions by the Investment Manager, it is possible that the Fund may experience relatively large purchases or redemptions from affiliated funds-of-funds. The Investment Manager seeks to minimize the impact of these transactions by structuring them over a reasonable period of time. The Fund may experience increased expenses as it buys and sells securities as a result of purchases or redemptions by affiliated funds-of-funds.

For the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2022, Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio returned -1.85%. The Fund outperformed the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Hedged USD Index, which returned -3.92%, and underperformed its Blended Benchmark, which returned -0.78% for the same time period.

Market overview

While U.S. and international equity markets delivered positive results during the 12-month period, U.S. equities delivered much stronger returns, with the S&P 500 Index returning 15.65% and the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) returning 1.16%. Most of the upside came during the first half of the period, as the gradual, though globally uneven, re-opening of the world economy continued to boost sentiment, activity and stock prices. Positive momentum – which also was driven to some degree by highly speculative behavior among retail investors – stalled somewhat midway through the period, triggered largely by more hawkish policy expectations from the U.S. Federal Reserve in June that weighed on cyclical parts of the market. Concerns over the emergence of the Delta and Omicron COVID-19 variants added to market choppiness, as did worries over strained U.S.-China trade relations. Problems in China’s property sector added to global equity market consternation, most notably symbolized by the credit crisis at Evergrande, a systemically important property developer in China with significant amounts of outstanding debt. Additional headwinds included inflation, which reached almost 7% in the U.S. and caused a further hawkish turn as the Federal Reserve announced a plan to taper the pace of quantitative easing and signaled three interest rate hikes in 2022. Central banks in other parts of the world tightened monetary policy as well, particularly in emerging markets. Of most significance, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022, roiled global markets and drove significant sell-offs. The conflict pressured the outlook for global growth and raised fresh concerns about supply chains, weighing heavily on investor sentiment. In addition, the resulting sanctions from the United States and other nations contributed to a spike in commodity prices by restricting the supply of oil and other raw materials. This development further weighed on the markets by fueling expectations that inflation, which was already accelerating, would rise to an even greater extent. As a result, investors began to factor in the possibility of very aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve over the remainder of 2022.

The Fund experienced an increased turnover in portfolio securities as compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase was attributable to market conditions during the period.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The Fund‘s overweight to emerging markets relative to the Blended Benchmark detracted from performance due to negative returns within that space.
•	The Fund had no exposure to foreign exchange markets, compared with the Blended Benchmark’s small allocation, which detracted from performance versus the Blended Benchmark during the year.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	An overweight to U.S. large-cap stocks relative to the Blended Benchmark provided the largest contribution to performance within the Fund’s equity allocation.
•	The Fund’s underweight to credit sensitive securities within fixed income provided a positive contribution relative to the Blended Benchmark.

Derivatives usage

The Fund used derivative securities such as forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures and swap contracts to gain exposure to the equity markets and to certain fixed-income sectors. Overall, these derivative positions generated positive results for the period.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the Fund to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in Fund value. Commodity investments may be affected by the overall market and industry- and commodity-specific factors, and may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments. Short positions (where the underlying asset is not owned) can create unlimited risk. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Fixed-income securities present issuer default risk. Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the Fund, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the Fund investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the Fund’s income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Interest payments on inflation-protected securities may be more volatile than interest payments on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, these securities may provide no income. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of fund investments, negatively impacting their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the fund sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. The Fund’s use of leverage allows for investment exposure in excess of net assets, thereby magnifying volatility of returns and risk of loss. Investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole and may not enable the Fund to achieve its objective. Like real estate, REITs are subject to illiquidity, valuation and financing complexities, taxes, default, bankruptcy and other economic, political or regulatory occurrences. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service 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 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 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.

October 1, 2021 — March 31, 2022
	Account value at the beginning of the period ($)		Account value at the end of the period ($)		Expenses paid during the period ($)		Fund’s annualized expense ratio (%)
	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual	Hypothetical	Actual
Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio	1,000.00	1,000.00	964.90	1,024.88	0.05	0.05	0.01

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Expenses do not include fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate or sovereign issues as of period end serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

Fair value measurements

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’s 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. 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 may 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 overseeing 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 or are not 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.

Financial Highlights

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a 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 is sold only to other Columbia Funds and certain collective investment trusts managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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

Security valuation

Debt securities generally are valued by pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees based upon market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes. Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

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

Futures and options on futures contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of a settlement price, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

Investments for which market quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. 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 quoted or published price for the security, if available.

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.

Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

GAAP requires 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. This information is disclosed following the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.

Foreign currency transactions and translations

The values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.

For financial statement purposes, the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (losses) on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.

Derivative instruments

The Fund invests in certain derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking 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 securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, 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 obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) 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 notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.

A derivative instrument may suffer a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract; therefore, failure of the clearinghouse or CCP may pose additional counterparty credit risk. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement) or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the

18	Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

Collateral (margin) requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker. Any interest expense paid by the Fund is shown on the Statement of Operations. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.

Certain ISDA Master Agreements allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk, whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark, to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio and to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.

The values of forward foreign currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the counterparty in U.S. dollars without delivery of foreign currency.

The use of forward foreign currency exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Futures contracts

Futures contracts are exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates, to manage exposure to the securities market and to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears

Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, 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 asset.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Swap contracts

Swap contracts are negotiated in the over-the-counter market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. For a bilateral swap contract, the Fund has credit exposure to the broker, but exchanges daily variation margin with the broker based on the mark-to-market value of the swap contract to minimize that exposure. For centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of centrally cleared swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Entering into these contracts involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, that it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in significant losses, and that the FCM or CCP may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.

Credit default swap contracts

The Fund entered into credit default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index and to manage credit risk exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.

As the purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).

As the seller of a credit default swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on a notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract with the counterparty occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation (recovery value) as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. These potential amounts may be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or upfront receipts upon entering into the agreement. The notional amounts and market values of all credit default swap contracts in which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.

As a protection seller, the Fund bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract with the counterparty. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.

Any upfront payment or receipt by the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.

Credit default swap contracts can involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.

Interest rate and inflation rate swap contracts

The Fund entered into interest rate swap transactions and/or inflation rate swap contracts to manage interest rate and market risk exposure to produce incremental earnings. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap or inflation rate swap, as applicable, is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.

Interest rate swaps are valued daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.

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; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses).

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. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.

The Fund may place a debt security on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

Determination of net asset value

The net asset value per share of the Fund is computed by dividing the value of the net assets of the Fund by the total number of outstanding shares of that Fund, rounded to the nearest cent, at the close of regular trading (ordinarily 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) every day the New York Stock Exchange is open.

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 investment company taxable income and net capital gain, 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 ordinary income, capital gain net income 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.

Foreign taxes

The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.

Realized gains in certain countries may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. 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.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Compensation of board members

Members of the Board of Trustees who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" on the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency fees

The Fund has a Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, under which the Fund does not pay an annual fee to the Transfer Agent.

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. The Fund does not pay the Distributor a fee for the distribution services it provides to the Fund.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

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 July 31, 2031, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, including indirect expenses of the underlying funds, 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 annual rate of 0.01% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the agreement governing this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement, 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), 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, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Prior to August 1, 2021, expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds) were excluded from the waivers/and or expense reimbursement arrangements. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

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.

Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

At March 31, 2022, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, derivative investments, tax straddles, post-October capital losses, swap investments, principal and/or interest of fixed income securities, distribution reclassifications, foreign capital gains tax and foreign currency transactions. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Undistributed net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized (loss) ($)	Paid in capital ($)
144,763	(144,763)	—

Net investment income (loss) 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 March 31, 2022			Year Ended March 31, 2021
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
414,368	376,561	790,929	323,735	178,288	502,023

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

At March 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized (depreciation) ($)
52,796	—	—	(408,642)

At March 31, 2022, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized (depreciation) ($)
11,018,555	4,242	(412,884)	(408,642)

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. As of March 31, 2022, the Fund will elect to treat the following late-year ordinary losses and post-October capital losses as arising on April 1, 2022.

Late year ordinary losses ($)	Post-October capital losses ($)
—	309,444

Management of the Fund has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund 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.

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $12,173,804 and $10,095,177, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2022, of which $8,482,166 and $7,093,349, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

The Fund invests significantly in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). 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 the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.

Note 7. Interfund lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and, except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject to certain restrictions.

Interfund loans are subject to the risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.

The Fund did not borrow or lend money under the Interfund Program during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note 8. Line of credit

The Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 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 unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.25%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note 9. Significant risks

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that the value of debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer defaults or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor its financial obligations, such as making payments to the Fund when due. Credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain debt instruments to indicate their credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated debt instruments held by the Fund may present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt instruments.

Derivatives risk

Losses involving derivative instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small movement in the underlying reference (which is generally the price, rate or other economic indicator associated with a security(ies), commodity, currency, index or other instrument or asset) may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund. Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk and pricing risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk of losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt instruments tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt instruments tend to rise. Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Higher periods of inflation could lead such authorities to raise interest rates. Increasing interest rates may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another, more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.

Market risk

The Fund may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

March 31, 2022

military action, and any counter measures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact Fund performance.

The pandemic caused by coronavirus disease 2019 and its variants (COVID-19) has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.

Money market fund investment risk

An investment in a money market fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by any bank, the FDIC or any other government agency. Certain money market funds float their net asset value while others seek to preserve the value of investments at a stable net asset value (typically, $1.00 per share). An investment in a money market fund, even an investment in a fund seeking to maintain a stable net asset value per share, is not guaranteed and it is possible for the Fund to lose money by investing in these and other types of money market funds. If the liquidity of a money market fund’s portfolio deteriorates below certain levels, the money market fund may suspend redemptions (i.e., impose a redemption gate) and thereby prevent the Fund from selling its investment in the money market fund or impose a fee of up to 2% on amounts the Fund redeems from the money market fund (i.e., impose a liquidity fee). These measures may result in an investment loss or prohibit the Fund from redeeming shares when the Investment Manager would otherwise redeem shares. In addition to the fees and expenses that the Fund directly bears, the Fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of any money market funds in which it invests, including affiliated money market funds. By investing in a money market fund, the Fund will be exposed to the investment risks of the money market fund in direct proportion to such investment. To the extent the Fund invests in instruments such as derivatives, the Fund may hold investments, which may be significant, in money market fund shares to cover its obligations resulting from the Fund’s investments in such instruments. Money market funds and the securities they invest in are subject to comprehensive regulations. The enactment of new legislation or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operation, performance and/or yield of money market funds.

Shareholder concentration risk

At March 31, 2022, affiliated shareholders of record owned 100.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Note 10. 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 11. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

There can be no assurance that these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines, penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial or one or more of its affiliates that provides services to the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Solutions Conservative Portfolio (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and for the period October 24, 2017 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and for the period October 24, 2017 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Liquidity Risk Management Program

(Unaudited)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (Program). The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing the Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.

The Board has appointed the Investment Manager as the program administrator for the Fund’s Program. The Investment Manager has delegated oversight of the Program to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). At a board meeting during the fiscal period, the Committee provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, including:

•	the Fund had sufficient liquidity to both meet redemptions and operate effectively on behalf of shareholders;

•	there were no material changes to the Program during the period;

•	the implementation of the Program was effective to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk; and

•	the Program operated adequately during the period.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.

The index is 100% hedged to the USD of developed market currencies by selling each foreign currency forward at the one-month Forward weight. The parent index is composed of large and mid-cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries and 27 Emerging Markets (EM) countries.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

At March 31, 2022, approximately 99.89% of the Fund’s shares were owned in the aggregate by affiliated funds-of-funds managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager). As a result of asset allocation decisions by the Investment Manager, it is possible that the Fund may experience relatively large purchases or redemptions from affiliated funds-of-funds. The Investment Manager seeks to minimize the impact of these transactions by structuring them over a reasonable period of time. The Fund may experience increased expenses as it buys and sells securities as a result of purchases or redemptions by affiliated funds-of-funds.

For the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2022, Columbia Solutions Aggressive Portfolio returned 4.47%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWI with Developed Markets 100% Hedged to USD Index (Net), which returned 8.79% for the same time period.

Market overview

The Fund experienced an increased turnover in portfolio securities as compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase is attributable to market conditions during the period.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The Fund’s allocation to interest rate sensitive securities was the largest performance detractor relative to its benchmark which had no exposure to these securities during the period.
•	The Fund’s foreign currency hedging position detracted from performance relative to the benchmark during the period.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	The Fund benefited from positive contributions from an overweight to U.S. small-cap equities and underweights to both U.S. large-cap equities and international developed equities relative to its benchmark.
•	The Fund’s allocation to credit spreads contributed to outperformance against its benchmark, which had no exposure to credit spreads during the period.

■	Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. 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).

Financial Highlights

The following table is intended to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

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

Security valuation

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

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

Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.

March 31, 2022

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its benchmark and to recover an underweight country exposure in its portfolio. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.

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 July 31, 2031, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, 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 annual rate of 0.01% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Under the agreement governing this fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement arrangement, 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, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 9. Significant risks

Credit risk

Derivatives risk

Foreign currency risk

The performance of the Fund may be materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short or long periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, imposition of currency controls and economic or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. The Fund may also incur currency conversion costs when converting foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and vice versa.

Foreign securities and emerging market countries risk

Investing in foreign securities may involve certain risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities, such as increased currency volatility and risks associated with political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events occurring in the country or region, which may result in significant market volatility. In addition, certain foreign securities may not be as liquid as U.S. securities. Investing in emerging markets may increase these risks and expose the Fund to elevated risks associated with increased inflation, deflation or currency devaluation. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated with the conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries or regions and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund that is more geographically diversified.

Geographic focus risk

The Fund may be particularly susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within the specific geographic regions in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund.

Europe. The Fund is particularly susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions, including acts of war or other conflicts in the region, affecting issuers and countries in Europe. Countries in Europe are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one European country can have an adverse impact on, and potentially spread to, other European countries. In addition, significant private and public sectors’ debt problems of a single European Union (EU) country can pose economic risks to the EU as a whole. As a result, the Fund’s net asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund. If securities of issuers in Europe fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform other funds that do not focus their investments in this region of the world. The departure of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU single market became effective January 1, 2021 with the end of the Brexit transition period and the post-Brexit trade deal between the UK and EU taking effect on December 31, 2020. The impact of

Columbia Solutions Aggressive Portfolio | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Brexit on the UK and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in negative impacts on currency and financial markets generally, such as increased volatility and illiquidity, and potentially lower economic growth in markets in Europe, which may adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.

Interest rate risk

Liquidity risk

Market risk

The large-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock and commodity markets and significant devaluations of Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter measures or responses thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events could negatively impact Fund performance.

unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Solutions Aggressive Portfolio

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Solutions Aggressive Portfolio (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and for the period October 24, 2017 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and for the period October 24, 2017 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Market overview

While U.S. and international equity markets delivered positive results during the 12-month period, U.S. equities delivered much stronger returns, with the S&P 500 Index returning 15.65% and the MSCI EAFE Index (Net) returning 1.16%. Most of the upside came during the first half of the period, as the gradual, though globally uneven, re-opening of the world economy continued to boost sentiment, activity and stock prices. Positive momentum – which also was driven to some degree by highly speculative behavior among retail investors – stalled somewhat midway through the period, triggered largely by more hawkish policy expectations from the U.S. Federal Reserve in June that weighed on cyclical parts of the market. Concerns over the emergence of the Delta and Omicron COVID-19 variants added to market choppiness, as did worries over strained U.S.-China trade relations. Problems in China’s property sector added to global equity market consternation, most notably symbolized by the credit crisis at Evergrande, a systemically important property developer in China with significant amounts of outstanding debt. Additional headwinds included inflation, which reached almost 7% in the U.S. and caused a further hawkish turn as the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a plan to taper the pace of quantitative easing and signaled three interest rate hikes in 2022. Central banks in other parts of the world tightened monetary policy as well, particularly in emerging markets. Of most significance, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022, roiled global markets and drove significant sell-offs. The conflict pressured the outlook for global growth and raised fresh concerns about supply chains, weighing heavily on investor sentiment. In addition, the resulting sanctions from the United States and other nations contributed to a spike in commodity prices by restricting the supply of oil and other raw materials. This development further weighed on the markets by fueling expectations that inflation, which was already accelerating, would rise to an even greater extent. As a result, investors began to factor in the possibility of very aggressive interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve over the remainder of 2022.

The Funds experienced increased turnover in portfolio securities as compared to the previous fiscal year. This increase is attributable to market conditions during the period.

The Funds’ notable contributors during the period

•	Commodity exposure across all Funds in the Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds series contributed positively to returns relative to their corresponding Dow Jones benchmarks.

Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•	On the equity side, a consensus underweight in all of the Funds to both U.S. large-cap equity and international developed markets contributed positively to performance versus the Funds’ corresponding Dow Jones benchmarks.
•	Exposure to Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS) across all Funds contributed positively to performance relative to the corresponding Dow Jones benchmarks.

The Funds’ notable detractors during the period

•	A higher allocation to interest rate sensitive securities relative to the corresponding benchmarks detracted from performance across all Funds.
•	Within the Funds’ equity allocations, a consensus underweight to both U.S. small- and mid-cap securities detracted from performance across all Funds relative to their corresponding benchmarks.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. The principal value of the Funds’ is not guaranteed at any time, including the target date. The Funds’ investment in other funds subjects it to the investment performance (positive or negative), risks and expenses of these underlying funds. Asset allocation does not assure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks that subject the Funds’ to significant loss potential, including when used as leverage, and may result in greater fluctuation in fund value. Commodity investments may be affected by the overall market and industry- and commodity-specific factors, and may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments. Short positions (where the underlying asset is not owned) can create unlimited risk. International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. Investments in small- and mid-cap companies involve risks and volatility greater than investments in larger, more established companies. Fixed-income securities present issuer default risk. Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of fixed-income instruments held by the Funds’, negatively impacting its performance and NAV. Falling rates may result in the Funds’ investing in lower yielding debt instruments, lowering the Funds income and yield. These risks may be heightened for longer maturity and duration securities. Interest payments on inflation-protected securities may be more volatile than interest payments on ordinary bonds. In periods of deflation, these securities may provide no income. Market or other (e.g., interest rate) environments may adversely affect the liquidity of fund investments, negatively impacting their price. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Funds sells a holding, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the fund. The Funds’ use of leverage allows for investment exposure in excess of net assets, thereby magnifying volatility of returns and risk of loss. Investments selected using quantitative methods may perform differently from the market as a whole and may not enable the Fund to achieve its objective. Like real estate, REITs are subject to illiquidity, valuation and financing complexities, taxes, default, bankruptcy and other economic, political or regulatory occurrences. See the Funds’ prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

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.

In addition to the ongoing expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the Fund’s allocable share of the costs and expenses of each underlying fund in which the Fund invests.

Expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal half year and divided by 365.

Effective expenses paid during the period and the Fund’s effective annualized expense ratio include expenses borne directly to the class plus the Fund’s pro rata portion of the ongoing expenses charged by the underlying funds using the expense ratio of each class of the underlying funds as of the underlying fund’s most recent shareholder report.

Had Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses for each Fund, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

From time to time, the Investment Manager and its affiliates may waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Funds so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Funds and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes. This arrangement may be revised or terminated at any time without notice. Had the Investment Manager and its affiliates not waived fees and/or reimbursed the expenses of Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund and Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2022, the annualized expense ratios would have been 0.58% for Advisor Class for each Fund. The actual expenses paid would have been $2.86, $2.86, $2.87, $2.87, $2.88, $2.88, $2.89, $2.88 and $2.88 for Advisor Class, respectively; the hypothetical expenses paid would have been $2.92 for Advisor Class for each Fund. The actual effective expenses paid would have been $3.16, $3.16, $3.16, $3.17, $3.17, $3.18, $3.18, $3.18 and $3.18 for Advisor Class, respectively; the hypothetical effective expenses paid would have been $3.23 for Advisor Class for each Fund.

Other share classes of the Funds may have had expense waiver/reimbursement changes; however, the changes were not considered material.

Fair value measurements (continued)
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.

Financial Highlights
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund

The following tables are intended to help you understand the Funds’ financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, a fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

(d)	The Fund commenced operations on October 24, 2017. Per share data and total return reflect activity from that date.
(e)	Annualized.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment companies. Columbia Funds Series Trust I is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to the following series of the Trust (each, a Fund and collectively, the Funds): Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund and Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund. Each Fund currently operates as a diversified fund.

Each Fund is a “fund-of-funds”, investing significantly in affiliated funds managed by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), or its affiliates, as well as third-party advised (unaffiliated) funds, including exchange-traded funds (collectively, Underlying Funds). Each Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of its assets among the Underlying Funds. For information on the investment strategies, operations and risks of the Underlying Funds, please refer to the Fund’s current prospectus as well as the prospectuses and shareholder reports of the Underlying Funds, which are available from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov or on the Underlying Funds’ website at columbiathreadneedleus.com/investor/.

Fund shares

The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares (without par value). The Funds offer each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense structure. Different share classes may have different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.

Advisor Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals, to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional and to certain other investors as described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Each Fund is an investment company that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Security valuation

Equity securities listed on an exchange are valued at the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities with a closing price not readily available or not listed on any exchange are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. Listed preferred stocks convertible into common stocks are valued using an evaluated price from a pricing service.

Investments in the Underlying Funds (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

72	Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Security transactions

Income recognition

Corporate actions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The Funds may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information 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 a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Awards from class action litigation are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities on the payment date, the proceeds are recorded as realized gains.

Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Expenses

General expenses of the Trust are allocated to the Funds 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 a Fund are charged to that 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 directly to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of a 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

For federal income tax purposes, each Fund is treated as a separate entity. The Funds intend to qualify each year as separate regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of their investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for their tax year, and as such will

Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Funds intend to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of their ordinary income, capital gain net income and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Funds should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are recorded.

Distributions to shareholders

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 Funds’ contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined, and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees and underlying fund fees

The Funds have entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides each Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) 0.02% on assets invested in affiliated Underlying Funds that pay a management or advisory fee to the Investment Manager and (ii) 0.47% on its assets that are invested in securities, instruments and other assets not described above, including without limitation affiliated funds that do not pay a management or advisory fee to the Investment Manager, third party funds, derivatives and individual securities.

The effective management services fee rates based on each Fund’s average daily net assets for the year ended March 31, 2022 were as follows:

	Effective management services fee rate (%)
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund	0.45

In addition to the fees and expenses which the Funds bear directly, the Funds indirectly bear a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest. Because the Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Funds may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Funds will vary. These expenses are not reflected in the expenses shown in Statement of Operations and are not included in the ratios to average net assets shown in the Financial Highlights.

Compensation of board members

Members of the Board of Trustees who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Funds as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. Each Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and

74	Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

remains in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Funds. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" on the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

The Board of Trustees has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer for the Funds in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated to the Funds, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency 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 DST Asset Manager Solutions, Inc. (DST) to serve as sub-transfer agent. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of DST for services as sub-transfer agent and DST is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of out-of-pocket fees).

The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the Board of Trustees from time to time.

For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Funds’ effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

Fund	Advisor Class (%)	Institutional 3 Class (%)
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund	0.04	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund	0.03	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund	0.12	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund	0.08	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund	0.07	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund	0.05	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund	0.01	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund	0.04	0.01
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund	0.06	0.01

Distribution and service fees

The Funds have 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. The Funds do not pay the Distributor a fee for the distribution services it provides to the Funds.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Underlying Funds, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Funds’ custodian, do not exceed the following annual rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

	Fee Rate Contractual through July 31, 2022
	Advisor Class (%)	Institutional 3 Class (%)
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund	0.64	0.45
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund	0.64	0.45

In addition, 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) for each Fund through July 31, 2031, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that each Fund’s net operating expenses, including indirect expenses of the Underlying Funds, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Funds’ custodian, will not exceed the annual rates of 0.68% for Advisor Class and 0.50% for Institutional 3 Class as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets.

Under the agreements 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), 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, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes, but the Fund’s net operating expenses shall not exceed the contractual annual rates listed in the table above. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At March 31, 2022, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, post-October capital losses, late-year ordinary losses, re-characterization of distributions for investments and distribution reclassifications. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

Under current tax rules, regulated investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. As of March 31, 2022, the Funds will elect to treat the following late-year ordinary losses and post-October capital losses as arising on April 1, 2022.

Management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Funds 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 Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

Each Fund may invest in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by each Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Funds from such investments is included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, each Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.

Note 7. Interfund lending

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, each Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and, except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject to certain restrictions.

The Funds did not borrow or lend money under the Interfund Program during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note 8. Line of credit

Each Fund has access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 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 unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or

renewed. Prior to the October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.25%.

No Fund had borrowings during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note 9. Significant risks

Alternative strategies investment and multi-asset/tactical strategies risk

An investment in alternative investment strategies and multi-asset/tactical strategies (the Strategies) involves risks, which may be significant. The Strategies may include strategies, instruments or other assets, such as derivatives, that seek investment returns uncorrelated with the broad equity and fixed income/debt markets, as well as those providing exposure to other markets (such as commodity markets), including but not limited to absolute (positive) return strategies. The Strategies may fail to achieve their desired performance, market or other exposure, or their returns (or lack thereof) may be more correlated with the broad equity and/or fixed income/debt markets than was anticipated, and the Funds may lose money.

Market risk

The Funds may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which they invest. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Funds’ ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

governments and financial markets. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Funds from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Funds’ ability to achieve their investment objective. Any such event could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Funds.

Shareholder concentration risk

At March 31, 2022, certain shareholder accounts owned more than 10% of the outstanding shares of one or more of the Funds. For unaffiliated shareholder accounts, the Funds have no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares were owned beneficially. Subscription and redemption activity of these accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Funds. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

The number of accounts and aggregate percentages of shares outstanding held therein were as follows:

Fund	Number of unaffiliated accounts	Percentage of shares outstanding held — unaffiliated (%)	Percentage of shares outstanding held — affiliated (%)
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund	1	50.9	38.9
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund	2	22.5	77.2
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund	2	91.9	—
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund	2	63.1	36.1
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund	2	60.7	35.5
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund	2	56.6	43.0
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund	1	68.2	31.2
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund	1	63.3	28.7
Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund	2	62.1	37.8

Note 10. Subsequent events

Note 11. Information regarding pending and settled legal proceedings

Ameriprise Financial and certain of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Funds are not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Funds or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Funds. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2020 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2025 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2030 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2035 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2040 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2045 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2050 Fund, Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2055 Fund, and Columbia Adaptive Retirement 2060 Fund (nine of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of March 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of March 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Liquidity Risk Management Program
(Unaudited)

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, each Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program ("Program"). The Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing the Fund’s liquidity risk. Liquidity risk is defined as the risk that the Fund could not meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund.

The Board has appointed the Investment Manager as the program administrator for each Fund’s Program. The Investment Manager has delegated oversight of the Program to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”). At a board meeting during the fiscal period, the Committee provided the Board with a report addressing the operations of the program and assessing its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation for the period January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, including:

•	the Fund had sufficient liquidity to both meet redemptions and operate effectively on behalf of shareholders;
•	there were no material changes to the Program during the period;
•	the implementation of the Program was effective to manage the Fund’s liquidity risk; and
•	the Program operated adequately during the period.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the Funds’ prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in each Fund may be subject.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (CMIA) serves as the investment manager for the Fund and attempts to achieve the Fund’s objective by managing a portion of the Fund’s assets and selecting one or more subadvisers to manage other sleeves independently of each other and CMIA. A portion of the Fund’s assets is subadvised by Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (Loomis Sayles) and Los Angeles Capital Management LLC (Los Angeles Capital). As of March 31, 2022, CMIA, Loomis Sayles and Los Angeles Capital managed approximately 26.7%, 34.6% and 38.7% of the portfolio, respectively

For the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2022, Institutional Class shares of Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund returned 6.57%. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 14.98% for the same time period.

Market overview

U.S. equities posted gains for the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2022. As pandemic-related restrictions were eased, robust economic growth and corporate earnings drove gains for stocks. Both U.S. monetary and fiscal policy were highly supportive, as Congress approved massive spending packages that included direct payments to citizens and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its benchmark overnight lending rate near zero while engaging in bond market purchases to keep longer term borrowing costs low. The fourth quarter of 2021 saw the Fed adopt a more hawkish tone in response to persistently high inflation, driven in large part by supply chain constraints and rising commodity prices, which led to increased market volatility. High-growth companies came under intense selling pressure and many investors crowded back to more defensive and established growth stocks, rotating away from longer duration growth stocks. This shift was most evident in the information technology sector, as many high-growth software and payment platforms — many of which were very strong performers in 2020 — sold off meaningfully. This trend was also apparent in many consumer and health care industries.

The first three months of 2022 brought a rocky start, with most major indices returning in negative territory as markets grappled with individual stock volatility, the number and timing of interest rate hikes by the Fed, inflation and geopolitical tensions. Of most significance, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022, roiled global markets and drove significant sell-offs. The conflict pressured the outlook for global growth and raised fresh concerns about supply chains, weighing heavily on investor sentiment. In addition, the resulting sanctions from the United States and other nations contributed to a spike in commodity prices by restricting the supply of oil and other raw materials. This development further weighed on the markets by fueling expectations that inflation, which was already accelerating, would rise to an even greater extent. As a result, investors began to factor in the possibility of very aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed over the remainder of 2022.

CMIA

Our portion of the Fund underperformed its benchmark during the period.

Notable detractors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Our portion of the Fund’s underperformance of its benchmark can be attributed primarily to stock selection, most notably within the information technology sector. Selections within the communication services, consumer discretionary, health care and industrials sectors also detracted from results relative to the benchmark.
•	Within information technology, a position in RingCentral, Inc. came under pressure on valuation concerns as 2021 drew to a close, despite the firm reporting an impressive quarter with double-digit revenue growth, beating estimates and announcing a new strategic partnership with Mitel.
•	Also within the information technology sector, software company DocuSign, Inc. was a notable detractor in our portion of the Fund. Shares of DocuSign sold off sharply following the firm’s earnings report that missed billings expectations and signaled more normalized buying patterns following the pandemic. We sold our portion of the Fund’s shares in DocuSign before the close of the period.
•	Within the health care sector, biotech company Exact Sciences Corp., best known for its lead product Cologuard, pulled back as the COVID-19 Delta variant impacted the firm’s sales representatives’ access to doctors’ offices, which limited new sales opportunities. COVID-19 continued to impact the amount of doctor office visits for routine care and physicals, but we believe these trends should prove to be transitory and a near-term headwind.

Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

•	Within the consumer discretionary sector, a holding in high-growth, pet supply e-commerce leader Chewy, Inc. in our portion of the Fund pulled back and detracted from relative returns, as e-commerce trends moderated off highs from 2020. Investors remained on the sideline as the firm met revenue estimates but continued to navigate supply-line challenges and higher costs.
•	Not owning ultra mega-cap names Apple and Microsoft proved to be a headwind during the period, as both companies have mass concentration in the Russell 1000 Growth Index and outperformed.

Notable contributors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•	The consumer staples sector was an area of contribution in our portion of the Fund during the period, as both stock selection and an overweight allocation benefited our portion of the Fund.

○

A position in Costco Wholesale benefited results as the company reported better-than-expected same-store sales and acceleration of store growth. We believed Costco continued to execute well and navigate supply chain challenges. The company continued to sign up new members and open new stores, which helped to offset some of the inflationary challenges such as freight costs.

•	Though the information technology sector was the largest area of detraction, several companies in the sector were among the Fund’s top contributors in our portion of the Fund during the period, including NVIDIA Corp, Enphase Energy, Inc., Intuit, Inc. and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.

○	NVIDIA saw broad strength across all its semiconductor/software platforms and increased guidance during the period. The firm also announced a new data center CPU and continued progress on building software/services partnerships for its Drive Platform with a Mercedes deal.
○	Enphase Energy, a Fund position established early in the period, rallied materially. The firm navigated supply chain issues, beating revenue estimates with 97% year-over-year growth and increased guidance. Management noted high demand for their solar microinverters and energy storage offerings, which we believe should continue to grow as society transitions away from fossil fuels.
○	Software company Intuit, Inc. contributed to our portion of the Fund as the market rotated to more defensive and established software names in the latter half of the period.
○	CrowdStrike Holdings, which provides cloud workload and endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services, benefited from a rising demand for cloud native security solutions. CrowdStrikes’s Falcon platform was the first multi-tenant, cloud native, intelligent security solution for protecting workloads across on-premises, virtualized and cloud-based environments running on a variety of endpoints. That includes desktops, laptops, mobile devices, servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads, cloud containers and Internet of Things devices.

•

Within the health care sector, cardiovascular device provider Edwards Lifesciences proved beneficial to our portion of the Fund, posting solid returns. The company beat earnings expectations and noted an increase in medical procedures during the summer of 2021 indicating a post-COVID-19 recovery for the company.

Los Angeles Capital

Our portion of the Fund outperformed its benchmark during the period, benefiting from its exposure to large cap growth businesses which have navigated the inflationary environment well. The strategy benefited from its exposure to companies with positive earnings estimate revisions and which have demonstrated superior operating skill.

Notable contributors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•

Technology, biotechnology and consumer staples were among the three strongest contributing market sectors to the strategy’s performance on a relative basis. All three sectors returned positive absolute returns. The positive contributions within the three sectors were driven by both allocation and stock selection.

○	Stock selection was notably strong within the technology sector as the strategy embraced innovative businesses navigating the economic recovery and inflationary environment.

6	Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

○	The consumer staples sector lagged the overall market over the trailing one-year and the strategy’s average underweight to the sector contributed positively to performance.

•	An average underweight to PayPal Holdings Inc. and average overweights to Pool Corporation and Fortinet Inc. provided the strongest positive contributions to relative performance over the period.

○	The portfolio favored Fortinet and Pool Corporation due to their operating skill and growth prospects, characteristics which we believe were favored by investors during the period.
○	The portfolio held a lower exposure to PayPal Holdings relative to the benchmark given its bearish earnings outlook and analyst sentiment, as well as its lack of fundamental support.

Notable detractors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Health care, financials and retail were the three market sectors that detracted the most from the strategy’s performance on a relative basis.

○	Retail and financials provided positive absolute returns for the reporting period, while holdings in the health care sector generated negative absolute returns.
○	Stock selection across the three sector groupings detracted from performance over the reporting period.
○	From an allocation perspective, an average overweight to financials aided the strategy’s relative performance given the sector’s overall strength, while average overweights to retail and health care held performance back as these economic segments trailed the broader market.

•	An average overweight to DocuSign Inc. and average underweights to Microsoft Corp and Eli Lilly & Co. provided the largest negative contributions to the strategy’s relative performance over the reporting period.

○	Regulatory position limitations contributed to the portfolio’s lower exposure to Microsoft, despite the optimistic outlook for the business and the robust returns recorded.
○	Eli Lilly & Co. outperformed the broader market in spite of a weaker longer-term valuation outlook.
○	Despite displaying growth efficiency, DocuSign saw its stock price decline over the reporting period as it delivered earnings results below analyst expectations.

Loomis Sayles

Our portion of the Fund underperformed the benchmark during the period. We do not attempt to forecast economic or market factors in order to position the portfolio. Through our proprietary bottom-up fundamental research framework, we look to invest in high quality businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and profitable growth when they are trading at significant discounts to our estimate of intrinsic value.

Notable detractors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Stock selection in the consumer discretionary, industrials, consumer staples, communication services, information technology, energy and financials sectors detracted from performance versus the benchmark in our portion of the Fund.
•	Allocations to the communication services, information technology and industrials sectors, also detracted from relative performance.
•	Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Meta Platforms, Inc. and Boeing Co. were among the largest detractors from performance in our portion of the Fund during the period.

○

Alibaba is a leading Chinese e-commerce and consumer-engagement platform provider. Shares have been under pressure since late 2020 due to investor concern regarding increasing regulatory intervention by the Chinese government. More recently, we have observed increasing competitive pressure in two of the company’s smaller but faster-growing contributors: video streaming and penetration in lower-tier cities. We continue to believe that

Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)
(Unaudited)

	Alibaba is a high-quality company that remains well positioned to benefit from secular growth in China e-commerce and trades at a discount to intrinsic value. However, given our most recent analysis, we trimmed the position during the period.
○	Meta Platforms operates online social networking platforms that allow people to connect, share, and interact with friends and communities. With 3.6 billion monthly users and over 200 million businesses worldwide using its family of apps – Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram - the scale and reach of Meta’s network is unrivaled. Meta reported financial results that were strong and above consensus expectations during the first half of the year. However, shares declined substantially following the company’s most-recent financial report in early February 2022. Growth was strong and above expectations for revenue and free cash flow and user engagement metrics remained high, but operating expenses were greater than expectations. The company also issued guidance for the first quarter of 2022 that was well below expectations, which it attributed to headwinds arising from recent privacy restrictions by Apple, the continuing impact of macro weakness such as supply chain disruptions on advertising spending, and the company’s transition to a new product format – short-term video – where monetization is currently lower. As a function of its competitive advantages, we believe the company remains well positioned relative to its peers, and there are no changes to our assessment of Meta’s quality or secular growth opportunities. We took advantage of near-term price weakness to add to our position during the period.
○	Boeing is a global leader in the commercial and defense aerospace industries, manufacturing commercial aircraft for passenger and cargo traffic as well as manned and unmanned military aircraft, missile and defense systems, satellites and launch systems, and other space and security systems. Boeing’s financial results during the period were mixed and largely below expectations, but the company posted positive quarterly earnings for the first time since 2019 and was free cash flow positive during the most-recent quarter for the first time in almost three years. We believe the current market price embeds expectations for aircraft deliveries and corporate margins that are overly pessimistic versus our long-term assumptions. As a result, we believe the company is selling at a significant discount to our estimate of intrinsic value and offers a compelling reward-to-risk opportunity.

Notable contributors within our portion of the Fund during the period

•	Stock selection in the health care sector, as well as our allocations to the energy and consumer discretionary sectors, contributed positively to relative performance during the period.
•	NVIDIA Corp., Alphabet, Inc. and Microsoft Corp. were among the largest contributors to performance in our portion of the Fund during the period.

○	NVIDIA is the world leader in graphic processing units (GPUs), which enable computers to produce and utilize highly realistic 3D graphic imagery and models. NVIDIA reported financial results during the period that were better than consensus expectations, driven by broad-based strength that included multiple quarterly revenue records in the company’s gaming, data center, and professional visualization segments.
○	Alphabet is a holding company that owns a collection of businesses — the largest and most important of which by far is Google. Google is the global leader in online search and advertising, and also offers online cloud solutions to businesses and consumers globally. Alphabet reported financial results during the period that reflected a strong recovery in advertising spending, which had been depressed due to COVID-19, while revenue growth accelerated and adjusted operating margins expanded.
○	Microsoft is the world’s largest software company, offering productivity and collaboration tools, cloud services, and personal computing products to businesses and consumers. Microsoft reported financial results during the period that were strong and above management and consensus expectations on all key metrics, including revenue growth of approximately 20%, expanding operating margins, and strong double-digit growth in both operating income and free cash flow. Importantly, the company continued to show strong commercial cloud growth, with revenue rising approximately 30% year-over-year to an $88 billion annual run rate, up from a $14 billion run rate five years ago.

•	We believe the shares of all three contributors continue to trade at a discount to our estimates of intrinsic value and represent attractive reward-to-risk opportunities.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Risks are enhanced for emerging market issuers. The Fund’s use of leverage allows for investment exposure in excess of net assets, thereby magnifying volatility of returns and risk of loss. Non-investment-grade (high-yield or junk) securities present greater price volatility and more risk to principal and income than higher rated securities. Convertible securities are subject to issuer default risk. A rise in interest rates may result in a price decline of convertible securities held by the Fund. Falling rates may result in the Fund investing in lower yielding securities, lowering the Fund’s income and yield. The Fund may also be forced to convert a convertible security at an inopportune time, which may decrease the Fund’s return. Investing in derivatives is a specialized activity that involves special risks, which may result in significant losses. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Fair value measurements

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. 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).

Foreign equity securities actively traded in markets where there is a significant delay in the local close relative to the New York Stock Exchange are classified as Level 2. The values of these securities may include an adjustment to reflect the impact of market movements following the close of local trading, as described in Note 2 to the financial statements – Security valuation.

Fair value measurements (continued)
Under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), the Investment Manager’s Valuation Committee (the Committee) is responsible for overseeing the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

The Fund’s assets assigned to the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical assets. These assets include certain foreign securities for which a third party statistical pricing service may be employed for purposes of fair market valuation. The model utilized by such third party statistical pricing service takes into account a security’s correlation to available market data including, but not limited to, intraday index, ADR, and exchange-traded fund movements.

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022

Note 1. Organization

Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a 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 is offered only through certain wrap fee programs sponsored and/or managed by Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial) or its affiliates. The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities which are not subject to any front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

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

Security valuation

Foreign equity securities are valued based on the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available, the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are determined at the scheduled closing time of the New York Stock Exchange. Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy adopted by the Board of Trustees. Under the policy, the Fund may utilize a third-party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third-party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S. securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the close of the foreign exchange or market, to determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or published price, if available.

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Security transactions

Income recognition

Corporate actions and dividend income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of an ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.

The Fund may receive distributions from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts (REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information 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 a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.

Expenses

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

Foreign taxes

Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

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

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of their portion of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.77% to 0.57% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended March 31, 2022 was 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Subadvisory agreements

The Investment Manager has entered into Subadvisory Agreements with Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. and Los Angeles Capital Management LLC, each of which subadvises a portion of the assets of the Fund. New investments in the Fund, net of any redemptions, are allocated in accordance with the Investment Manager’s determination. Each subadviser’s proportionate share of investments in the Fund will vary due to market fluctuations. The Investment Manager compensates each subadviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets.

Compensation of board members

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Transfer agency fees

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.02% of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional 3 Class. In addition, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022, Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to a contractual transfer agency fee annual limitation of not more than 0.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class. Prior to August 1, 2021, Institutional 3 Class shares were subject to a contractual transfer agency fee annual limitation of not more than 0.01% of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class.

For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Institutional Class	0.09
Institutional 3 Class	0.00

Distribution and service fees

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

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) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees, 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 rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

	August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022	Prior to August 1, 2021
Institutional Class	0.74%	0.74%
Institutional 3 Class	0.65	0.60

specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Reflected in the contractual cap commitment, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022, is the Transfer Agent’s contractual agreement to limit total transfer agency fees to an annual rate of not more than 0.00% for Institutional 3 Class of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees. Reflected in the contractual cap commitment, prior to August 1, 2021, is the Transfer Agent’s contractual agreement to limit total transfer agency fees to an annual rate of not more than 0.01% for Institutional 3 Class of the average daily net assets attributable to that share class. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At March 31, 2022, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, non-deductible expenses, re-characterization of distributions for investments, net operating loss reclassification, earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) holdings. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
7,895,903	(81,276,819)	73,380,916

Net investment income (loss) 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 March 31, 2022			Year Ended March 31, 2021
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
103,122,560	481,814,980	584,937,540	9,007,860	273,993,598	283,001,458

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

At March 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
—	296,826,668	—	922,532,106

At March 31, 2022, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
3,135,295,251	1,059,508,121	(136,976,015)	922,532,106

26	Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $2,153,728,921 and $2,312,764,875, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2022. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 6. Affiliated money market fund

The Fund invests in Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). 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 the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.

Note 7. Interfund lending

The Fund’s activity in the Interfund Program during the year ended March 31, 2022 was as follows:

Borrower or lender	Average loan balance ($)	Weighted average interest rate (%)	Number of days with outstanding loans
Borrower	5,000,000	0.61	1
Lender	700,000	0.61	1

Interest income earned and interest expense incurred by the Fund is recorded as Interfund lending in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had no outstanding interfund loans at March 31, 2022.

Note 8. Line of credit

Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund | Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

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 unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 28, 2021 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.25%.

The Fund had no borrowings during the year ended March 31, 2022.

Note 9. Significant risks

Information technology sector risk

The Fund is more susceptible to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector than if it were invested in a wider variety of companies in unrelated sectors. Companies in the information technology sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many information technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term. Some companies in the information technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action, which could negatively impact the value of their securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Multi-Manager Growth Strategies Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Returns for Class A shares are shown with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class C shares are shown with and without the 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and fees associated with each share 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 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.

Manager Discussion of Fund Performance
(Unaudited)

For the 12-month period that ended March 31, 2022, Class A shares of Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund returned -3.91% excluding sales charges. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which returned 14.98% for the same time period.

Market overview

The first three months of 2022 brought a rocky start, with most major indices returning in negative territory as markets grappled with individual stock volatility, the number and timing of interest rate hikes by the Fed, inflation and geopolitical tensions. Of most significance, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24, 2022 roiled global markets and drove significant sell-offs. The conflict pressured the outlook for global growth and raised fresh concerns about supply chains, weighing heavily on investor sentiment. In addition, the resulting sanctions from the United States and other nations contributed to a spike in commodity prices by restricting the supply of oil and other raw materials. This development further weighed on the markets by fueling expectations that inflation, which was already accelerating, would rise to an even greater extent. As a result, investors began to factor in the possibility of very aggressive interest rate hikes by the Fed over the remainder of 2022.

The Fund’s notable detractors during the period

•	The Fund’s underperformance of its benchmark can be attributed primarily to stock selection, most notably within the information technology sector. Selections within the communication services, consumer discretionary, health care and industrials sectors also detracted from results relative to the benchmark.
•	Within information technology, the Fund’s position in RingCentral, Inc. came under pressure on valuation concerns as 2021 drew to a close, despite the firm reporting an impressive quarter with double-digit revenue growth, beating estimates and announcing a new strategic partnership with Mitel.
•	Also within information technology, software company DocuSign, Inc. was a notable detractor. Shares of DocuSign sold off sharply following the firm’s earnings report that missed billings expectations and signaled more normalized buying patterns following the pandemic. We sold the Fund’s shares in DocuSign before the close of the period.
•	Within the health care sector, biotech company Exact Sciences Corp., best known for its lead product Cologuard, pulled back as the COVID-19 Delta variant impacted the firm’s sales representatives’ access to doctors’ offices, which, in turn, limited new sales opportunities. COVID-19 continued to impact the amount of doctor office visits for routine care and physicals, but we believe these trends should prove to be transitory and a near-term headwind.
•	Within consumer discretionary, the Fund’s holding in high-growth, pet supply e-commerce leader Chewy, Inc. pulled back and detracted from relative returns, as e-commerce trends moderated off highs from 2020. Investors remained on the sideline as the firm met revenue estimates but continued to navigate supply-line challenges and higher costs.
•	Not owning ultra mega-cap names Apple and Microsoft proved to be a headwind during the period, as both companies have mass concentration in the Russell 1000 Growth Index and outperformed.

The Fund’s notable contributors during the period

•	The consumer staples sector was an area of contribution for the Fund during the period, as both the Fund’s stock selection and overweight allocation benefited the Fund.

○

The Fund’s position in Costco Wholesale benefited results as the company reported better-than-expected same-store sales and acceleration of store growth. Costco continued to execute well and navigate supply chain challenges. The company continued to sign up new members and open new stores, which helped to offset some of the inflationary challenges such as freight costs.

•	Though the information technology sector was the largest area of detraction, several companies were among the Fund’s top contributors during the period, including NVIDIA Corp, Enphase Energy, Inc., Intuit, Inc. and CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc.

○	NVIDIA saw broad strength across all its semiconductor/software platforms and increased guidance during the period. The firm also announced a new data center CPU and continued progress on building software/services partnerships for its Drive Platform with a Mercedes deal.
○	Enphase Energy, a Fund position established early in the period, rallied materially. The firm navigated supply chain issues, beating revenue estimates with 97% year-over-year growth and increased guidance. Management noted high demand for the company’s solar microinverters and energy storage offerings, which we believe should continue to grow as society transitions away from fossil fuels.
○	The Fund’s holding in software company Intuit, Inc. contributed to the Fund as the market rotated to more defensive and established software names in the latter half of the period.
○	CrowdStrike Holdings, which provides cloud workload and endpoint security, threat intelligence, and cyberattack response services, benefited from a rising demand for cloud native security solutions. CrowdStrikes’s Falcon platform was the first multi-tenant, cloud native intelligent security solution for protecting workloads across on-premises, virtualized and cloud-based environments running on a variety of endpoints, which include desktops, laptops, mobile devices, servers, virtual machines, cloud workloads, cloud containers and Internet of Things devices.

•

Within the health care sector, cardiovascular device provider Edwards Lifesciences proved beneficial to the Fund, posting solid returns. The company beat earnings expectations and noted increased procedures during the summer of 2021, indicating what we believe to be a post-COVID-19 recovery for the company.

Market risk may affect a single issuer, sector of the economy, industry or the market as a whole. Growth securities, at times, may not perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general and may be out of favor with investors. Foreign investments subject the Fund to risks, including political, economic, market, social and others within a particular country, as well as to currency instabilities and less stringent financial and accounting standards generally applicable to U.S. issuers. Investments in a limited number of companies or sectors subject the Fund to greater risk of loss. The Fund may invest significantly in issuers within a particular sector, which may be negatively affected by market, economic or other conditions, making the Fund more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in the sector. See the Fund’s prospectus for more information on these and other risks.

Understanding Your Fund’s Expenses
(Unaudited)

As an investor, you incur two types of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service 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

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.

(a)	Non-income producing investment.
(b)	The rate shown is the seven-day current annualized yield at March 31, 2022.
(c)	As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, an affiliated company is one in which the Fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities, or a company which is under common ownership or control with the Fund. The value of the holdings and transactions in these affiliated companies during the year ended March 31, 2022 are as follows:

Affiliated issuers	Beginning of period($)	Purchases($)	Sales($)	Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation)($)	End of period($)	Realized gain (loss)($)	Dividends($)	End of period shares

Fair value measurements

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. 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).

Fair value measurements (continued)
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 may 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.

The following table is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments at March 31, 2022:

Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2022

Note 1. Organization

Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a 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 each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.

As described in the Fund’s prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class, Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also described in the Fund’s prospectus.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

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

Security valuation

Investments in open-end investment companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.

Note 3. Fees and other transactions with affiliates

Management services fees

The Fund has entered into a Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.77% to 0.57% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The effective management services fee rate for the year ended March 31, 2022 was 0.69% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Compensation of board members

Compensation of Chief Compliance Officer

Transfer agency fees

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

The Transfer Agent also receives compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class. In addition, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022, Institutional 2 Class shares are subject to a contractual transfer agency fee annual limitation of not more than 0.05% and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to a contractual transfer agency fee annual limitation of not more than 0.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.

For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund’s effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:

	Effective rate (%)
Class A	0.14
Advisor Class	0.14
Class C	0.14
Institutional Class	0.14
Institutional 2 Class	0.05
Institutional 3 Class	0.00
Class R	0.14

An annual minimum account balance fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended March 31, 2022, these minimum account balance fees reduced total expenses of the Fund by $340.

Distribution and service fees

The Fund has entered into 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. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, 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.

Under the Plans, the Fund pays 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 and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively.

Sales charges (unaudited)

Sales charges, including front-end charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the year ended March 31, 2022, if any, are listed below:

	Front End (%)	CDSC (%)	Amount ($)
Class A	5.75	0.50 - 1.00^(a)	173,074
Class C	—	1.00^(b)	3,710

(a)	This charge is imposed on certain investments of between $1 million and $50 million redeemed within 18 months after purchase, as follows: 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
(b)	This charge applies to redemptions within 12 months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.

The Fund’s other share classes are not subject to sales charges.

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates

	August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022	Prior to August 1, 2021
Class A	1.07%	1.10%
Advisor Class	0.82	0.85
Class C	1.82	1.85
Institutional Class	0.82	0.85
Institutional 2 Class	0.73	0.72
Institutional 3 Class	0.68	0.67
Class R	1.32	1.35

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, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. In addition to the contractual agreement, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates have voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described above) so that Fund level expenses (expenses directly attributable to the Fund and not to a specific share class) are waived proportionately across all share classes. This arrangement may be revised or discontinued at any time. Reflected in the contractual cap commitment, effective August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022, is the Transfer Agent’s contractual agreement to limit total transfer agency fees to an annual rate of not more than 0.05% for Institutional 2 Class and 0.00% for Institutional 3 Class of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Board of Trustees. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax information

At March 31, 2022, these differences were primarily due to differing treatment for deferral/reversal of wash sale losses, trustees’ deferred compensation, late-year ordinary losses, and net operating loss. To the extent these differences were permanent, reclassifications were made among the components of the Fund’s net assets. Temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

The following reclassifications were made:

Excess of distributions over net investment income ($)	Accumulated net realized gain ($)	Paid in capital ($)
9,558,037	—	(9,558,037)

24	Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund \| Annual Report 2022

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
March 31, 2022

Net investment income (loss) 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 March 31, 2022			Year Ended March 31, 2021
Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)	Ordinary income ($)	Long-term capital gains ($)	Total ($)
48,181,003	561,739,526	609,920,529	11,322,145	494,024,519	505,346,664

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

At March 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income ($)	Undistributed long-term capital gains ($)	Capital loss carryforwards ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
—	154,066,965	—	715,529,456

At March 31, 2022, the cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes along with the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:

Federal tax cost ($)	Gross unrealized appreciation ($)	Gross unrealized (depreciation) ($)	Net unrealized appreciation ($)
968,741,579	748,324,540	(32,795,084)	715,529,456

Tax cost of investments and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.

Late year ordinary losses ($)	Post-October capital losses ($)
2,344,181	—

Note 5. Portfolio information

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $649,449,847 and $1,069,543,590, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2022. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.

Note 9. Significant risks

Information technology sector risk

securities, especially over the short term. Some companies in the information technology sector are facing increased government and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action, which could negatively impact the value of their securities.

Market risk

Shareholder concentration risk

At March 31, 2022, two unaffiliated shareholders of record owned 31.7% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated shareholders of record owned 27.0% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Columbia Funds Series Trust I and Shareholders of Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Columbia Select Large Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting Columbia Funds Series Trust I, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2022 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The registrant's Audit Committee is required to pre-approve the engagement of the registrant's independent auditors to provide audit and non-audit services to the registrant and non-audit services to its investment adviser (excluding any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted or overseen by another investment adviser (the "Adviser") or any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (a "Control Affiliate") 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 Auditors for Audit and Non-Audit Services (the "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 ("Fund Services"); (ii) non-audit services to the registrant's Adviser and any Control Affiliates, that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fund ("Fund-related Adviser Services"); and (iii) certain other audit and non-audit services to the registrant's Adviser and its Control Affiliates. 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 board members. 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 auditor 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 specific types of services that the independent auditor will be permitted to perform and the projected fees for each service.

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 provided since the last such report was rendered, including a description of the services, by category, with forecasted fees for the annual reporting period, proposed changes requiring specific pre-approval and a description of services provided by the independent auditor, by category, with actual fees during the current reporting period.

paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
