Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present this annual report for PNC Money Market Funds for the twelve months ended May 31, 2016 (the “annual period”).

Please note that on June 4, 2015, the Funds’ Boards of Trustees approved an agreement and plan of reorganization pursuant to which PNC Advantage Institutional Government Money Market Fund, a money market fund organized under a separate trust and managed by PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), would be reorganized with and into PNC Government Money Market Fund. The closing date of the reorganization was September 14, 2015.

Also, on February 25, 2016, the Funds’ Boards of Trustees approved plans of liquidation for each of PNC Money Market Fund, PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Money Market Fund. PNC Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Money Market Fund were liquidated on May 25, 2016. PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund was liquidated on June 8, 2016.

Further, in connection with the July 2014 amendments to Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Amended Rule”), which is the primary rule governing the operation of money market funds, during the annual period, deadlines passed for money market fund managers to be compliant with certain requirements of the Amended Rule. PNC Money Market Funds are in compliance with these requirements which include reporting defined “material events” as applicable on a new Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) form, complying with new diversification and stress-testing requirements, reporting information on a Fund’s website pertaining to fund liquidity and shareholder inflows and outflows, and incorporating new disclosure into registration statements and advertisements. On September 16, 2015, the SEC adopted additional amendments to Rule 2a-7 which remove references to credit ratings of NRSROs from the definition of “eligible security” and codify certain general factors to be considered in assessing credit risk. PNC Money Market Funds intend to be compliant with these amendments by October 14, 2016 as required. Lastly, the Adviser intends to manage PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund, so that on and after October 14, 2016, each will qualify as a “government money market fund” under the Amended Rule enabling each to continue to seek to maintain a stable net asset value (“NAV”) per share of one dollar.

Before reviewing the financial statements and schedules of investments of your individual mutual fund investments, it may be useful to take a brief look at the major factors affecting the economy and the money markets during the annual period.

Economic Review

Volatility heightened in the capital markets during the annual period, as global economic growth struggled. For much of the annual period, global Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth in the advanced economies remained uneven. Accommodative monetary policies in developed countries helped to stabilize economic and financial conditions, with growth of combined developed economies in the 1% to 2% range. But several emerging markets were under stress from weak commodity prices causing decelerating growth, current account deficits, currency depreciation and inflation. Economic weakness exacerbated political stress in both developed and emerging markets.

“Yields in the taxable and tax-exempt money markets remained extremely low...”

 

Commentary provided by PNC

Capital Advisors, LLC as of

May 31, 2016

   
     

U.S. GDP growth in 2015 was 2.0% but then rose just 1.1% during the first quarter of 2016. However, second quarter 2016 GDP was projected to be between 2.0% and 2.5% due to strong housing data and stronger consumption. The U.S. labor market was strong by most metrics for much of the annual period, but then faltered a bit from March through May 2016. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.7%, although that decline was mainly attributable to a decline in labor force participation. Such softness in the U.S. labor market, including in non-farm payroll increases, tempered the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) path toward interest rate normalization. At the end of the annual period, the then most-recent Fed projections showed interest rates increasing at a slower pace in 2017 and 2018 compared to its projections from March 2016. While there is a potential chance the Fed will raise short-term rates over the next few months, it appears the Fed may wait until much later in 2016 before the next incremental increase in the federal funds rate. Following the June 23, 2016 decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), the federal funds futures market was barely pricing in an increase by December 2016, and, remarkably, a greater chance of a cut during the second half of 2016.

Money Markets

Yields in the taxable and tax-exempt money markets remained extremely low throughout the annual period. Central bank policy divergence and economic data were dominant themes affecting the money markets. As the annual period began in June 2015, data suggested that U.S. economic activity had picked up during the second quarter of 2015 after a weak first quarter. At its June 2015 meeting, the Fed hinted that U.S. interest rates were still on track to rise later in 2015, despite lowering its growth and inflation forecast slightly. Still, a shift lower in Fed officials’ predictions of interest rate levels signaled a slight delay in the timing of hikes. During the third quarter of 2015, the broad market consensus was that in determining the timing for policy tightening, the Fed was likely to focus on cumulative progress toward full employment rather than short-term data reports. The Fed signaled its inclination to begin normalizing policy even if inflationary pressures remained low. It thus came as a surprise to many that the Fed chose to keep its targeted federal funds rate unchanged at its September 2015 meeting.

Given its economic outlook, and recognizing the time it takes for policy actions to affect future economic outcomes, the Fed finally decided to raise the target range for the federal funds rate to 0.25% to 0.50% at its December 2015 meeting. The Fed indicated that its monetary policy stance remained accommodative after the increase but also suggested that, dependent on data, it might implement four additional rate hikes, in a gradual manner, during 2016.

As the new year began, the financial markets were volatile amid persistent global economic growth concerns. The Fed left interest rates unchanged during January 2016, with its subsequent policy statement slightly dovish. In the statement, the Fed downgraded its near-term inflation outlook, expressed concern about global economic conditions and noted slowing housing and inventory investment. The money markets, which already had lowered expectations for Fed monetary action, priced out the possibility of a rate hike in March 2016. During February 2016, the Fed focused primarily on the labor market, inflation expectations and financial conditions. At its March 2016 meeting, the Fed lowered its projections for GDP and inflation and moved its interest rate increase projections closer to market expectations of no more than two more rate hikes for 2016, a stance it maintained at its April 2016 meeting. In all, the Fed kept the targeted federal funds rate unchanged during the first five months of 2016.

Our View Ahead

We expect U.S. GDP growth to remain between 2.0% and 2.5% during 2016. We expect global economic activity to remain more sluggish. Many of the economic themes from 2015 are likely to persist through much of 2016, in our view, both domestically and internationally. More specifically, developed economies are essentially in a slow growth mode due to demographics, debt and fiscal policy restraints. Monetary policy has been the sole source of economic stimulus. That said, diverging monetary policies, growth in the Chinese economy, and the Brexit vote are likely to contribute to volatility in the capital markets. In addition, U.S. dollar fluctuations may drive capital flows. Meanwhile, developing economies have been hit with concerns about China’s transition from an industrial to a service-based economy and, as a result, about the country’s diminishing demand for raw materials. Vigilance remains paramount. After the close of the annual period, Fed Chair Yellen noted during Congressional testimony that investors’ risk appetite may change abruptly and added that Brexit could have “significant economic consequences”.

Meanwhile, the money market industry continues preparations to comply with the Amended Rule, with final reform requirements effective on October 14, 2016. Fund families continue to respond to regulatory reforms with changes to their product line-up, which will impact their ultimate post reform money market fund offerings, in the form of fund consolidations, repositionings, liquidations and launches. We expect no further changes to the PNC Money Market Fund offering as a result of reform requirements.

We believe relative safety, diversification and liquidity will likely remain important and ongoing considerations for investors in the money markets. We therefore continue to believe that money market funds will continue to play a key role in investors’ portfolios.

We thank you for being a part of the PNC Money Market Funds and for maintaining a long-term perspective as a basic tenet of your investment approach. We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to serving your investment needs in the years ahead.

Best Regards,

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the six-month period December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

(1) Expenses are equal to each Class’ annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (183) in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

(2) Assumes annual return of 5% before expenses.

 

 

    

 

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) and shareholder services fees, where applicable, and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period shown and held for the entire six-month period (December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016).

The Expense Table that appears for your Fund illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of a Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

To the Shareholders of PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, and PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and Board of Trustees of PNC Funds and to the Shareholders of PNC Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund and Board of Trustees of PNC Advantage Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, and PNC Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Funds”) (three of the thirty-three funds comprising PNC Funds) as of May 31, 2016, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. We have also audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of PNC Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund (the fund comprising PNC Advantage Funds) (collectively with the Money Market Funds, the “Funds”) as of May 31, 2016, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers and transfer agents, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of May 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.05% impact to Class A ratios and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

(2) Advisor Class Shares commenced operations on September 14, 2015. All ratios for the period have been annualized. Total return for the period has not been annualized.

(1) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A. This voluntary commitment had no impact to Class A ratios and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A shareholders.

(2) During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which had no impact to Class A ratios.

(1) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.01% impact to Class A ratios and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

1. Fund Organization

PNC Funds and PNC Advantage Funds (the “Trusts”), each a Delaware statutory trust, are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. As of May 31, 2016, the Trusts offered for sale shares of 34 Funds. Each of the Funds is authorized to issue various classes of shares (individually, a “Class”, collectively, the “Classes”). Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and is substantially the same in all respects, except that the classes are subject to different distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees, sales charges and investment minimums. With respect to the PNC Money Market Funds, as defined below, Class I, Advisor Class, Class A, Institutional, Advisor and Service Shares are sold without a sales charge.

Effective May 25, 2016, PNC Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Institutional Money Market Fund were liquidated pursuant to plans approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on February 25, 2016.

As of May 31, 2016, the Trusts offered five categories of Funds:

Target Date Funds

PNC Retirement Income Fund, PNC Target 2020 Fund, PNC Target 2030 Fund, PNC Target 2040 Fund and PNC Target 2050 Fund;

Equity Funds

PNC Balanced Allocation Fund, PNC International Equity Fund, PNC International Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Core Fund, PNC Large Cap Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Value Fund, PNC Mid Cap Fund, PNC Mid Cap Index Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, PNC S&P 500 Index Fund, PNC Small Cap Fund and PNC Small Cap Index Fund;

Fixed Income Funds

PNC Bond Fund, PNC Government Mortgage Fund, PNC High Yield Bond Fund, PNC Intermediate Bond Fund, PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund, PNC Total Return Advantage Fund and PNC Ultra Short Bond Fund;

Tax Exempt Bond Funds

PNC Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, PNC Maryland Tax Exempt Bond Fund, PNC Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund and PNC Tax Exempt Limited Maturity Bond Fund; and

Money Market Funds

PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund.

The financial statements presented herein are those of the Money Market Funds (each referred to as a “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Target Date Funds, Equity Funds, Fixed Income Funds and Tax Exempt Bond Funds are not presented herein, but are presented separately.

Fund Reorganization

On June 4, 2015, the Board approved an agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to which PNC Advantage Institutional Government Money Market Fund (the “Target Fund”), a money market fund organized under a separate trust and managed by PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), would be reorganized with and into PNC Government Money Market Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). On September 14, 2015, the Target Fund was reorganized into the Acquiring Fund, each of which has substantially similar investment objectives and identical principal investment strategies. The net assets of the Target Fund were transferred at fair value in a tax-free exchange to the Acquiring Fund after the close of business on September 11, 2015. With this transfer, a shareholder of the Target Fund’s Institutional Shares automatically became a shareholder of Class I Shares of the Acquiring Fund. A shareholder of the Target Fund’s Advisor Shares became a shareholder in the newly formed Advisor Class of the Acquiring Fund.

The table below summarizes the assets transfers for the exchange.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to the Investment Companies Topic of U.S. GAAP.

Effective June 1, 2015, the Funds adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that expanded secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements and also set forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The adoption of the guidance did not result in any additional disclosure for the Funds.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Investment Valuation

The investments of the Funds, other than investments in other money market funds, funding agreements and repurchase agreements, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method values an investment at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant proportionate accretion of discount or amortization of premium to its effective maturity. If this method is determined to be unreliable during certain market conditions or for other reasons, a Fund may value its investments at market price, or fair value prices may be determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board. No such investments held on May 31, 2016 were valued using a method other than amortized cost.

Investments in other money market funds are valued at their respective net asset values (“NAV”) as determined by those funds each business day.

M a y  3 1,  2 0 1 6

 

Investments in repurchase agreements and funding agreements are generally valued at par, which approximates market value, each business day.

Fair value represents the estimated price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Fair value measurements utilize a hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to establish fair value. These inputs, listed below, are summarized in three broad levels and investment assets reported at fair value are classified on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to fair value:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to:

Investment Companies – investments in open-end mutual funds which are valued at their closing NAV.

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to:

All Securities – quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices based on recently executed transactions; adjusted quoted prices based on observable and formulaic inputs; or, observable correlated market inputs.

Fixed Income Securities, Money Market Fund Investments valued at Amortized Cost and Funding and Repurchase Agreements valued at Par – independent pricing service-supplied valuations or quoted prices for similar securities or obligations, including matrix pricing, based on methods which consider standard inputs such as yields or prices of securities or obligations of comparable quality, stability, risk, coupon, collateral (as applicable), maturity, type, trading factors, multiple indications of value from dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities or obligations.

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including but not limited to:

All Securities – modeling or manual pricing based on each Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments; or, the significant use of unobservable inputs or stale inputs.

Each Fund recognizes transfers into and out of levels, if any, at the end of the reporting period.

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

The valuation hierarchy of each Fund’s securities as of May 31, 2016 can be found at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the estimated lives of the respective investments using the effective interest method. Expenses common to all of the Funds are allocated among the Funds on the basis of each Fund’s respective average net assets or other appropriate allocation methodologies, including a fixed or straight-line allocation across Funds. Expenses common to all Classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon the relative daily net assets of each Class. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific Class are charged directly to that Class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income for each of the Funds are declared daily and paid monthly. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually by each of the Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

38


    

 

    

    

 

Delayed-Delivery Transactions

Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund will designate liquid assets in the amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its NAV. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-delivery securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in any future gains and losses with respect to the security.

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund, with the exception of Treasury Money Market Fund, may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a Fund purchases a debt obligation from a financial institution such as a bank or broker-dealer, subject to a mutual agreement that the seller will repurchase the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time. The debt obligation is collateralized by securities held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/U.S. Treasury book-entry system with value no less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). A custody agreement in connection with the Master Repurchase Agreement defines eligible securities for collateral in relation to each repurchase agreement. If the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Fund maintains the right to sell the underlying securities at market value. Upon an event of default under the Master Repurchase Agreement, if the seller defaults and the value of the collateral security declines or if the seller enters an insolvency proceeding, the Fund may suffer time delays and incur costs in connection with the disposition of the collateral security and recovery of any losses incurred.

At period end, certain Funds had investments in repurchase agreements. The gross value and related collateral received for these investments are presented in each applicable Fund’s Schedule of Investments and the value of these investments is also presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral received exceeded the value of the repurchase agreements as of May 31, 2016.

Master Agreements and Netting Arrangements

Certain Funds are parties to various agreements, including but not limited to Master Repurchase Agreements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties (collectively “Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements generally include provisions for general obligations, agreements, representations, collateral and certain events of default or termination. These Master Agreements also include provisions for netting arrangements that help reduce credit and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions. The netting arrangements are generally tied to credit related events that if triggered, would cause an event, default or termination giving a Fund or counterparty the right to terminate early and cause settlement, on a net basis, of all transactions under the applicable Master Agreement. In the event of an early termination or default event, the total market value exposure would be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable or payable that would be due from or to the counterparty. Credit related events include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy, failure to make timely payments, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, a material decline in net assets, decline in credit rating or repudiation/moratorium. An election made by a counterparty to terminate a transaction early under a Master Agreement could have an adverse impact on a Fund’s financial statements. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Collateral under the Master Agreements is usually in the form of cash, U.S. Treasury or U.S. Government agency securities, but can include other types of securities. There can be no assurance that the Master Agreements will be successful in limiting credit or counterparty risk. Details of the counterparties and the collateral as of May 31, 2016 are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fees

Fees paid by the Funds pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC Group”), are payable monthly and are calculated at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may, from time to time, waive any portion of its fees and reimburse certain expenses of a Fund. Such waivers and reimbursements are voluntary and may be changed or discontinued at any time. The table below lists the advisory fees, waivers and expense reimbursements that were in effect during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

  **

Effective February 26, 2016, the Board approved the reduction of the Fund’s annual investment advisory fee to 0.15%. Prior to the reduction, the annual investment advisory fee was 0.25%.

Shareholder Services Fees

The Trusts maintain Shareholder Services Plans (the “Services Plans”) with respect to the Class A and Advisor Class Shares of PNC Funds and Advisor and Service Shares of PNC Advantage Funds. Pursuant to the Services Plans, the Trusts enter into shareholder servicing agreements with certain financial institutions, including affiliates of the Adviser, under which they agree to provide, for PNC Funds, shareholder administrative services to their customers who beneficially own Class A and Advisor Class Shares in consideration for payment of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A Shares and up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Advisor Class Shares and for PNC Advantage Funds, shareholder administrative services to their customers who beneficially own Advisor and Service Shares in consideration for payment of up to 0.10% and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Advisor and Service Shares, respectively.

Trustees’ Fees

For his or her service as a Trustee of the Trusts, each Trustee, effective January 1, 2016, receives an annual fee of $79,000 plus $7,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, and such amount, up to a maximum of $3,250, as may be determined for each special Board meeting attended, in addition to a reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a Trustee. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of $10,000 per year for their services in these capacities. Prior to January 1, 2016, each Trustee received an annual fee of $76,000 plus $7,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, and such amount, up to a maximum of $3,250, as may be determined for each special Board meeting attended, in addition to a reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a Trustee. The Chairman of the Board received an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional fee of $10,000 per year for their services in these capacities. No person who is an officer, director, trustee, or employee of the Adviser, the Underwriter or any parent or subsidiary thereof, who serves as an officer, trustee, or employee of the Trusts, receives any compensation from the Trusts. Fees are paid quarterly in arrears and are allocated to the Trusts based on their average daily net assets.

Trustees who receive fees are eligible for participation in the Trust’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan allows each eligible Trustee to defer receipt of all or a percentage of fees that would otherwise be payable for services performed.

Administration Fees

PNC Funds, PNC Advantage Funds, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”) and the Adviser are parties to Co-Administration and Accounting Services Agreements, pursuant to which BNY Mellon and the Adviser serve as Co-Administrators to the Trusts. BNY Mellon and the Adviser served as Co-Administrators to PNC Funds in exchange for fees at the annual rate of 0.05% based on average daily net assets of PNC Funds, excluding the average daily net assets of the Target Date Funds. For their services to PNC Funds as Co-Administrators during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, approximately 0.0215% was allocated to BNY Mellon and approximately 0.0285% was allocated to the Advisor in aggregate. For their services to PNC Advantage Funds as Co-Administrators during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, BNY Mellon received fees at the annual rate of 0.0125% of each Fund’s first $1 billion of average daily net assets and 0.01% of each Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The Adviser received 0.01% of each Fund’s average net assets. BNY Mellon also receives other transaction-based charges from the Trusts and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the Trusts.

Affiliated Money Market Funds

Pursuant to SEC rules, the Funds may invest cash balances not otherwise invested in portfolio securities to purchase shares of the money market funds offered by Advantage, an affiliate of PNC Funds, or BlackRock Funds. The Funds will bear the costs and fees associated with investments in other investment companies, including other investment companies managed by the Adviser or its affiliates, except that the Adviser has agreed to waive its advisory fee in an amount equal to the advisory fees paid to the Adviser by a PNC money market fund with respect to its short-term reserves swept into an Advantage money market fund. Certain other contractual and voluntary advisory fee waivers may reduce the Adviser’s obligation to waive its advisory fees in connection with such investments. This waiver may be terminated at any time without prior notice.

PNC Group owns a minority interest in BlackRock, Inc. As a result, the BlackRock Funds could be deemed to be affiliates of the Adviser.

The amount invested by Treasury Money Market Fund in BlackRock Treasury Trust Fund remained unchanged during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

Details of affiliated holdings at May 31, 2016 are included in the respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, total income from affiliates for Government Money Market Fund was approximately $2,000 and Treasury Money Market Fund was less than $500. The amounts are included, but not separately disclosed, in the Statements of Operations.

4. Custodian, Distribution/12b-1 and Transfer Agent Fees

Custodian Fees

The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of BNY Mellon (one of the Co-Administrators of the Trusts), serves as the Custodian of the Trusts. The Custodian fees for the Trusts (excluding the Target Date Funds) are calculated at the following annual rate: 0.0025% of the first $5 billion of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trusts (excluding the Target Date Funds), 0.002% of the next $5 billion of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trusts (excluding the Target Date Funds) and 0.001% of the combined average daily gross assets in excess of $10 billion of the Trusts (excluding the Target Date Funds). The Custodian fees are allocated to the Trusts (excluding the Target Date Funds) based on each Fund’s relative average daily net assets. The Bank of New York Mellon also receives other transaction-based charges from the Trust and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the Trust.

Distribution/12b-1 Fees

For its services to the Trusts, the Underwriter, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC, receives an annual fee payable directly by the Adviser. PNC Funds has adopted a distribution plan for Class A Shares in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1”). Pursuant to the Class A Shares plan, PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund reimburse the Underwriter for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount not to exceed 0.10% per annum of the average daily net assets of those Funds’ Class A Shares. The Board renewed a commitment whereby actual distribution fees for Class A Shares will be no more than 0.00% per annum. This commitment continues through February 28, 2017, at which time the Board will consider whether to renew, revise or discontinue it.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, the 12b-1 accrual was at an annual rate of 0.00% for each of PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund.

Transfer Agent

BNY Mellon serves as Transfer Agent for the Funds. For its services as Transfer Agent, BNY Mellon receives a fee based primarily upon the number of accounts serviced. Certain minimum fees and transaction charges may apply.

5. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.

Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as an expense during the current year. A tax position that does meet the more-likely-than-not threshold shall be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 and for each Fund’s open tax years (years ended May 31, 2013 through May 31, 2015) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2016 and May 31, 2015 were as follows:

 

         Tax-Exempt            Ordinary             
     Income    Income        Total        
     (000)    (000)    (000)

As of May 31, 2016, the components of total net assets on a tax basis were as follows:    

 

            Undistributed    Undistributed    Capital   Late-Year    Other    Total      
     Paid-in      Tax Exempt    Ordinary    Loss   Losses    Temporary    Net

Government Money Market Fund

     $5,139,081       $–    $25    $  (60)       $  –      $(170)      $5,138,876            

Tax Exempt Money Market Fund

     441,263         98       –    (17)   (19)      (100)      441,225

Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund

     453,927         –       2    –*          (12)      453,917     

    *Amount represents less than $500.    

The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature and are attributable primarily to differences in the book/tax treatment of deferred compensation. The character and timing of dividends and/or distributions made during the year from net investment income and/or net realized capital gains may differ from the year that the income or realized capital gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. To the extent any of these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016:

For Federal income tax purposes, realized capital losses may be carried forward and applied against future realized capital gains. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, capital loss carryforwards that were utilized to offset capital gains were as follows:

 

           
     (000)

indicated expiration dates:

     *Amount represents less than $500.    

                       

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), net capital losses incurred after May 31, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely with their character retained as short term or long term. Net capital losses incurred prior to May 31, 2011 may be carried forward for eight years and are treated as short term capital losses in the year to which they were carried. However, the Modernization Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses (i.e., those incurred after May 31, 2011) be used before pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards, which increases the likelihood that pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards will expire unused.

6. Certain Principal Risks

An investment in a Fund is subject to a number of risks. Below is a discussion of some, but not all, of the risks of investing in the Funds. Please see the relevant Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

Each of the Funds may invest up to 5% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of some of these securities may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of such securities in a timely manner and at a fair price. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional buyers. Any such security will not be considered illiquid so long as it is determined by the Board or the Adviser, acting under guidelines approved and monitored by the Board, that an adequate trading market exists for that security. Details of investments in illiquid and/or restricted securities are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Tax Exempt Money Market Fund follows an investment policy of investing in municipal obligations of various states which may, at times, comprise concentrations in one or several states. Economic changes affecting each state and related public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Fund. The repayment of certain municipal obligations may be insured by third parties. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by a municipal issuer, insured bonds remain subject to the risk that their market values may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance provider will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Schedules of Investments. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Funds.

N O T E S  T O  F I N A N C I A L  S T A T E M E N T S

M a y  31,  2 0 1 6

 

Certain obligations held in the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity. These enhancements may include letters of credit, liquidity guarantees and third-party insurance.

7. Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds have not historically incurred material expenses in respect of those provisions.

8. Relevant Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

9. SEC Money Market Fund Rule Amendments

In July 2014, the SEC adopted amendments to its rules governing the operation of money market funds. The new rules require, among other things, certain money market funds to cease using the amortized cost method to value their shares and to cause transactions in shares of these funds to be effected using a “floating” NAV. The SEC also adopted amendments that permit the board of trustees of a money market fund to impose a liquidity fee of up to 2% of a shareholder’s redemption request (any such fee a “temporary liquidity fee”) and/or suspend redemptions for a period of up to ten days in certain circumstances. The amendments may require the imposition of a temporary liquidity fee in some circumstances, unless the Board determines such a fee is not in the fund’s best interests. Those provisions are expected to become effective in October 2016. The Adviser intends to manage PNC Government Money Market Fund, PNC Treasury Money Market Fund and PNC Advantage Institutional Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Government Money Market Funds”) to cause them to qualify as “government money market funds” under the revised regulations and to enable them to continue to seek to maintain stable NAVs per share of one dollar. Under the revised regulations, government money market funds are generally not subject to the default fees and gates that may apply to other money market funds, and the Board of Trustees of the Government Money Market Funds has determined not to impose fees and gates on them. The Adviser and the Board continue to evaluate the rule amendments and their potential impact on the Funds and their financial statements.

10. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date that the financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events identified which required adjustment to, or additional disclosure in, the financial statements.

Pursuant to plans approved by the Board on February 25, 2016, PNC Tax Exempt Money Market Fund was liquidated on June 8, 2016.

Dear Shareholders:

We are pleased to present this annual report for PNC Target Date Funds, PNC Equity Funds, PNC Fixed Income Funds and PNC Tax Exempt Bond Funds for the twelve months ended May 31, 2016 (the “annual period”).

Of particular note during the annual period was our launch of PNC International Growth Fund on February 29, 2016. PNC’s International Equity Team has managed the growth portion of PNC International Equity Fund for the past 18 years. However, this is the first time the International Growth strategy is available in a stand-alone mutual fund vehicle. PNC International Growth Fund leverages the combined expertise of Managing Director Martin C. Schulz, J.D. and Senior Analyst and Portfolio Manager Calvin Y. Zhang along with the other members of the team based in Cleveland, Ohio. The Fund is benchmarked against the MSCI ACWI ex USA Growth Index and is open to investors in I, A and R Share Classes.

The annual period was a challenging one for most of the PNC Funds, as volatility increased and persisted throughout the year in both the equity and fixed income markets. Additionally, commodity prices experienced a dramatic selloff and rebound during the year. Moreover, uncertainty about the pace of the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) monetary policy normalization, slowing global economic growth, currency dynamics and political tensions all added to the market volatility.

The broad U.S. equity markets were mostly flat to modestly negative, and the international equity markets declined more significantly during the annual period. Unsurprisingly, Class I Shares of all but one of the PNC Equity Funds generated negative absolute returns during the annual period as did four of the five PNC Target Date Funds’ Class I Shares. The broad taxable and tax-exempt fixed income markets posted more solid positive returns. In turn, six of the seven PNC Fixed Income Funds’ Class I Shares and all four PNC Tax Exempt Bond Funds’ Class I Shares similarly generated positive absolute returns.

All that said, we are investors, not traders, and as such, we maintain a long-term perspective and remain disciplined in our investment strategies as we navigate the short-term waves of choppy and uncertain markets. We continue to believe that by offering the opportunity to diversify your investments among an array of equity, taxable fixed income and tax-exempt fixed income mutual funds, PNC Capital Advisors, LLC may help you and/or your adviser fulfill your individual asset allocation objectives.

Following a synopsis of the major factors affecting the financial markets during the annual period, you will find PNC Funds’ portfolio managers’ highlights of the key factors influencing the performance of their Funds as well as the financial statements and schedules of portfolio investments for each of the PNC Funds.

Economic Review

Volatility heightened in the capital markets during the annual period, as global economic growth struggled. For much of the annual period, global Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth in the advanced economies remained uneven. Accommodative monetary policies in developed countries helped to stabilize economic and financial conditions, with growth of combined developed economies in the 1% to 2% range. But several emerging markets were under stress from weak commodity prices causing decelerating growth, current account deficits, currency depreciation and inflation. Economic weakness exacerbated political stress in both developed and emerging markets.

U.S. GDP growth in 2015 was 2.0% but then rose just 1.1% during the first quarter of 2016. However, second quarter 2016 GDP was projected to be between 2.0% and 2.5% due to strong housing data and stronger consumption. The U.S. labor market was strong by most metrics for much of the annual period, but then faltered a bit from March through May 2016. The U.S. unemployment rate fell to 4.7%, although that decline was mainly attributable to a decline in labor force participation. Such softness in the U.S. labor market, including in non-farm payroll increases, tempered the Fed’s path toward interest rate normalization. At the end of the annual period, the then most-recent Fed projections showed interest rates increasing at a slower pace in 2017 and 2018 compared to its projections from March 2016. While there is a small chance the Fed will raise short-term rates over the next few months, it appears the Fed may wait until much later in 2016 before the next incremental increase in the federal funds rate. Following the June 23, 2016 decision by U.K. voters to leave the European Union (“Brexit”), the federal funds futures market was barely pricing in an increase by December 2016, and, remarkably, a greater chance of a cut during the second half of 2016.

Equities

U.S. equity markets, as measured by the Russell Investments Indices, struggled, posting flat to modestly negative returns during the annual period. Large-cap stocks returned 0.78%; mid-cap stocks returned -1.97%; and small-cap stocks returned -5.97%. Internationally, equity market returns were generally modestly negative in local currency terms, but the stronger U.S. dollar for the first three fiscal quarters of the annual period negatively affected, rather substantially, not only U.S. companies with operations in international markets but also international investments when converted to U.S. dollar terms. Developed international markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE® Index, returned -9.24%, and emerging markets, as gauged by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, posted a return of -17.33%, each in U.S. dollar terms.

Through much of the annual period, equity market performance was volatile. Global equity markets were generally lower in 2015, as the strength in the U.S. dollar served as a headwind for investment returns outside of the U.S., though the fourth quarter of 2015 saw a rebound over the losses incurred during the third quarter. Global equity markets then experienced even more volatility during the first five months of 2016. In January and early February 2016, global recession fears spread as concerns increased about China’s economic slowdown and demand weakness, as commodity prices continued to fall. After lows seen on February 11, 2016, these concerns began to fade, driven by stabilizing commodities, a more dovish-than-expected Fed, and more surprising upside economic data. International equity markets experienced headwinds toward the latter half of the first quarter of 2016 due to weak economic data and local currency strength. In April and May 2016, there was a rebound in energy prices, boosting U.S. equities overall into positive territory. However, downward revisions in global economic growth estimated by both the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, heightened investor risk aversion and limited capacity for further monetary policy measures maintained pressure on returns across international equities. A looming Brexit vote, the United Kingdom’s referendum on whether to remain a member of the European Union, further unsettled international equity markets toward the end of the annual period.

Within U.S. equity markets, growth stocks bested value stocks during the annual period in the large cap segment, but value stocks outpaced growth stocks among mid-cap and smaller-cap stocks. In large cap, the Russell 1000® Growth Index gained 1.61%, while the Russell 1000® Value Index fell 0.06%. For small cap, the Russell 2000® Growth Index was down 9.13%, and the Russell 2000® Value Index depreciated 2.75%.

Fixed Income

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.99% for the annual period, with the taxable fixed income markets experiencing similar volatility to the equity markets. Returns in the fixed income markets were mixed for 2015, as the U.S. Treasury yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, underwent a positive butterfly shift in which the short-term end and the long-term end of the yield curve rose more than the intermediate-term portion of the yield curve. Most of the increase in the short-term end occurred between October and December 2015, as the probability of December Fed action increased. Outside of U.S. Treasury debt, the structured or securitized, and the municipal fixed income markets performed well in 2015. Credit-centric fixed income markets, particularly the high yield market, experienced significant volatility, as interest rates increased and spreads, or yield differentials, versus comparable U.S. Treasury issues widened.

Volatility in the fixed income markets continued into the first five months of 2016, as turbulent global economic conditions played a prominent role in the Fed’s decision to keep the targeted federal funds rate unchanged after its initial rate hike in December 2015. At the beginning of 2016, markets were pricing in approximately two interest rate hikes. By the end of the first quarter, the market was barely pricing in one full hike. The Fed became notably more dovish than the narrative it gave in December 2015, with projections moving from four to two projected hikes in 2016. Highly correlated with oil’s movement in the near term, investment-grade and high-yield spreads widened substantially from January to mid-February 2016 and then rebounded back to roughly flat levels by the end of the first quarter. U.S. Treasuries rallied during the first quarter of 2016 overall and again toward the end of the annual period, as heightened geopolitical tensions led to a flight to relative safety.

For the annual period overall, the Barclays U.S. Treasury Index returned 3.01%. The yield curve flattened, as shorter-term interest rates increased while intermediate and longer-term interest rates declined. Two-year Treasury yields rose 0.26% to 0.87%, while 10-year Treasury yields decreased 0.28% to 1.84%. Long-term Treasury yields fell 0.24% to 2.64%. Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”), as measured by the Barclays U.S. TIPS Index, posted a return of 1.23% during the annual period, with a strong correlation to oil price movements.

To compare, the Barclays U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index returned 3.62% during the annual period, while the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned -0.81%, the latter affected most by energy and other commodity-related securities. Securitized bonds generated positive returns but lagged U.S. Treasuries. The Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Rate Index rose 2.73%, and the Asset-Backed Securities Index gained 1.81% for the annual period as a whole.

Overall the tax-exempt bond market meaningfully outperformed the taxable fixed income market, remaining rather resilient amidst an annual period marked by both equity and fixed income market volatility. The Barclays Municipal Bond Index returned 5.87% during the annual period. Broadly speaking, new defaults proved rare and fundamentals remained strong, despite pockets of turmoil about Pennsylvania, Illinois, New Jersey and Puerto Rico that made headlines. An investor flight to the perceived safe haven of U.S. Treasuries and inflation below 2% further helped drive municipal bond returns. For investors focused on after-tax total return, the tax advantages that municipal securities offer provided a strong tailwind for investment in the sector.

Our View Ahead

We expect U.S. GDP growth to remain between 2.0% and 2.5% during 2016. We expect global economic activity to remain more sluggish. Many of the economic themes from 2015 are likely to persist through much of 2016, in our view, both domestically and internationally. More specifically, developed economies are essentially in a slow growth mode due to demographics, debt and fiscal policy restraints. Monetary policy has been the sole source of economic stimulus. That said, diverging monetary policies, growth in the Chinese economy, and the Brexit vote are likely to contribute to volatility in the capital markets. In addition, U.S. dollar fluctuations may drive capital flows. Meanwhile, developing economies have been hit with concerns about China’s transition from an industrial to a service-based economy and, as a result, about the country’s diminishing demand for raw materials.

Against this backdrop, we believe return expectations should remain tempered. Domestic corporate profitability may continue to be challenged, in our view, in a slow growth environment with increasing wage pressures. Developed international equity markets have the potential to outperform U.S. markets on a local currency basis. We believe emerging equity markets, especially commodity-related markets, and countries with trade imbalances pose concerns. Policy makers are likely hamstrung by depreciating currencies, and growth may remain subdued even as weaker currencies boost exports and improve current account balances. A weakening U.S. dollar would serve as a stimulus to investing in international equities. All that said, the results of the Brexit vote surprised policy makers and the equity markets did experience dramatic volatility. Brexit, along with upcoming elections in Europe, and the choices on U.S. presidential leadership could potentially heighten equity market volatility on a global basis and for a somewhat extended time. There is a strong current of populism and nationalism around the world, neither of which are conducive, we believe, to fostering further economic growth via trade, capital flows or labor movement or to a sentiment of risk-taking in the markets.

The Fed’s projections for the target federal funds rate at the end of 2015 implied four more rate hikes for 2016. At the March 2016 meeting, the Fed lowered its projections for GDP and inflation and moved its interest rate increase projections closer to market expectations of no more than two more rate hikes for 2016, a stance it maintained at its April 2016 meeting. We believe the U.S. Treasury yield curve is likely to flatten, as short-term and intermediate rates rise, while longer-term U.S. Treasuries remain somewhat anchored by longer-term inflation expectations. Quantitative easing in international markets and demand from U.S. corporate pension plans de-risking are likely to keep longer-term rates from rising steeply as well. If equity market volatility surges, U.S.Treasury yields across the spectrum of maturities may decrease amidst a worldwide flight to perceived safety. As for the tax-exempt bond market, we believe it remains in a healthy position. On the other hand, modest yet unconvincing economic gains and elevated volatility in other fixed income sectors would indicate the possibility of credit turbulence ahead. After the close of the annual period, Fed Chair Yellen noted during Congressional testimony that investors’ risk appetite may change abruptly and added that Brexit could have “significant economic consequences”.

Vigilance remains paramount. In all asset classes, we believe individual security selection and careful sector allocation decisions will be key to performance going forward. As we consider the optimal risk-reward positioning for our Funds during the rest of 2016, we intend to continue to evaluate, among many other factors, the longer-term impacts and potential contagion that may result from the historic U.K. referendum to exit the European Union.

We thank you for being a part of the PNC Funds and for maintaining a long-term perspective as a basic tenet of your investment approach. We value your ongoing confidence in us and look forward to serving your investment needs in the years ahead.

Best Regards,

To the Board of Trustees of PNC Funds and Shareholders of the Target Date Funds, Equity Funds, Fixed Income Funds and Tax Exempt Bond Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments (or condensed schedules of investments), of PNC Retirement Income Fund, PNC Target 2020 Fund, PNC Target 2030 Fund, PNC Target 2040 Fund, PNC Target 2050 Fund (the “Target Date Funds”), PNC Balanced Allocation Fund, PNC International Equity Fund, PNC International Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Core Fund, PNC Large Cap Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Value Fund, PNC Mid Cap Fund, PNC Mid Cap Index Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, PNC S&P 500 Index Fund, PNC Small Cap Fund, PNC Small Cap Index Fund (the “Equity Funds”), PNC Bond Fund, PNC Government Mortgage Fund, PNC High Yield Bond Fund, PNC Intermediate Bond Fund, PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund, PNC Total Return Advantage Fund, PNC Ultra Short Bond Fund (the “Fixed Income Funds”), PNC Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, PNC Maryland Tax Exempt Bond Fund, PNC Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, and PNC Tax Exempt Limited Maturity Bond Fund (the “Tax Exempt Bond Funds”) (collectively the “Funds”), thirty of the thirty-three funds comprising PNC Funds as of May 31, 2016, including the condensed schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended (as to PNC International Growth Fund, for the period from February 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2016), the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as to PNC International Growth Fund, for the period from February 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2016), and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented (the financial statements and financial highlights are included in Item 1 of this Form N-CSR), and the schedules of investments as of May 31, 2016 (included in Item 6 of this Form N-CSR). These financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments, are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedules of investments, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers and transfer agents, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements, financial highlights, and schedules of investments, referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of May 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the year then ended (as to PNC International Growth Fund, for the period from February 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2016), the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (as to PNC International Growth Fund, for the period from February 29, 2016 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2016), and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s net asset value will decline due to rising interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

 

Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

PNC Retirement Income Fund seeks current income and some capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity, fixed income and other diversifying asset classes.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Retirement Income Fund returned 0.04% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Target Date® Retirement Income Index(1) (the “Index”), returned 0.79%.

During the period, REITs strongly outperformed other asset classes with the FTSE NAREIT, producing a 9.0% return. Fixed income (Barclays Aggregate) outperformed equities, returning 3.0% for the period. Domestic large-cap equities largely outperformed other major equity classes, with the S&P 500® returning 1.7%. Domestic small-cap equities (Russell 2000), international equities (MSCI ACWI ex USA), and emerging market equities (MSCI EM) produced negative returns at -6.0%, -11.0%, and -17.3%, respectively. Commodities (S&P GSCI®) fell over 25%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Selection detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the annual period, attributable in part to investments in short-duration fixed income funds. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

  º

Investments in PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund and PNC Bond Fund hampered results, underperforming the fixed income component of the Index.

 

  º

On the positive side, an investment in PNC International Equity Fund contributed favorably to relative results.

 

   

Allocation contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results during the annual period due in part to lower allocations to cash and cash equivalents and to international equities and a higher allocation to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) than the Index.

 

  º

REIT and dividend-paying U.S. equity returns led major asset classes, returning between 9% and 12% during the annual period. However, developed international equities and emerging market equities produced significantly negative returns during the annual period.

 

  º

Investment-grade fixed income returns were modestly positive, posting low single digits during the annual period, while high-yield fixed income sectors posted negative single-digit returns during the same time period.

The S&P Target Date® Retirement Income Index seeks to represent investment opportunity generally available in target date funds through an asset allocation which targets an immediate retirement horizon. The S&P Target Date® Retirement Income Index is designed to measure the performance of an investable asset allocation strategy that meets the investment objectives of investors nearing or currently in retirement. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses. The market cap range of the benchmark frequently changes. As a result, the capitalization of companies in which the Fund invests may also change.

 

(2)

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund since its inception for Class I Shares only. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

 

(3)

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers and expense reimbursements and inclusive of Acquired Fund fees and expenses, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time. “Acquired Fund” means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the year. The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the operating expenses of the Fund’s underlying investments.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s net asset value will decline due to rising interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

 

Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

Commodities (S&P GSCI®) fell over 25%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Selection detracted from the Fund’s relative results among both equity and fixed income funds.

 

  º

Investment selections in dividend-focused securities outperformed the Index, however investments in several equity funds, including PNC Large Cap Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Value Fund and PNC Small Cap Fund, hampered results, underperforming the equity component of the Index.

 

  º

Similarly, investments in PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund and PNC Bond Fund detracted from results, underperforming the fixed income component of the Index.

 

  º

Conversely, investments in PNC International Equity Fund contributed favorably to results, outperforming its benchmark component of the Index.

 

   

Allocation contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results due in part to a lower allocation to equities and higher allocations to fixed income and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) than the Index.

 

  º

REIT and dividend-paying U.S. equity returns led major asset classes, returning between 9% and 12% during the annual period. However, developed international equities and emerging market equities produced significantly negative returns during the annual period.

Without fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Inception return for the benchmark reflects the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Target 2040 Fund returned -2.64% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Target Date® To 2040 Index(1) (the “Index”), returned -1.60%.

During the period, REITs strongly outperformed other asset classes with the FTSE NAREIT, producing 9.0% returns. Fixed income (Barclays Aggregate) outperformed equities, returning 3.0% for the period. Domestic large-cap equities largely outperformed other major equity classes, with the S&P 500® returning 1.7%.

Allocation also detracted, albeit more modestly, from the Fund’s relative results due in part to a higher allocation to commodities and a slightly lower allocation to fixed income than the Index. These dampeners were partially offset by the positive contributions to the Fund’s relative results of higher allocations to equities and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) than the Index.

The maximum sales charge applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class T Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

 

(5)

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers and expense reimbursements and inclusive of Acquired Fund fees and expenses, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time. “Acquired Fund” means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the year. The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the operating expenses of the Fund’s underlying investments.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s net asset value will decline due to rising interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

 

Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

PNC Target 2050 Fund seeks to invest in a portfolio of investments that will provide an appropriate balance between capital appreciation and capital preservation in light of the Fund’s target date, with income as an additional goal as the Fund nears its target retirement date. The Fund intends to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of equity, fixed income and other diversifying asset classes.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Target 2050 Fund returned -2.56% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Target Date® To 2050 Index(1) (the “Index”), returned -2.16%.

During the period, REITs strongly outperformed other asset classes with the FTSE NAREIT, producing 9.0% returns. Fixed income (Barclays Aggregate) outperformed equities, returning 3.0% for the period. Domestic large-cap equities largely outperformed other major equity classes, with the S&P 500® returning 1.7%. Domestic small-cap equities (Russell 2000), international equities (MSCI ACWI ex USA), and emerging market equities (MSCI EM) produced negative returns at -6.0%, -11.0%, and -17.3%, respectively. Commodities (S&P GSCI®) fell over 25%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Selection detracted most from the Fund’s relative results among both equity and fixed income funds.

 

  º

Investment selections in dividend-focused securities outperformed the Index, however investments in several equity funds, including PNC Large Cap Growth Fund, PNC Large Cap Value Fund and PNC Small Cap Fund, hampered results, underperforming the equity component of the Index.

 

  º

Similarly, investments in PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund and PNC Bond Fund detracted from results, underperforming the fixed income component of the Index.

 

  º

Conversely, investments in PNC International Equity Fund contributed favorably to results, outperforming its benchmark component of the Index.

 

   

Allocation also detracted, albeit more modestly, from the Fund’s relative results due in part to a higher allocation to commodities and a slightly higher allocation to fixed income than the Index. These dampeners were partially offset by the positive contributions to the Fund’s relative results of a lower allocation to international equities and a higher allocation to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) than the Index.

 

  º

REIT and dividend-paying U.S. equity returns led major asset classes, returning between 9% and 12% during the annual period. However, developed international equities and emerging market equities produced significantly negative returns during the annual period.

 

  º

Investment-grade fixed income returns were modestly positive, posting low single digits during the annual period, while high-yield fixed income sectors posted negative single-digit returns during the same time period.

(1)

The S&P Target Date® To 2050 Index seeks to represent investment opportunity generally available in target date funds through an asset allocation which targets a retirement horizon on or around 2050. The S&P Target Date® To 2050 Index is designed to measure the performance of an investable asset allocation strategy that meets the investment objectives of investors with an approximate 2050 target retirement horizon. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, management fees or other expenses. The market cap range of the benchmark frequently changes. As a result, the capitalization of companies in which the Fund invests may also change.

 

(2)

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund since the date of inception of its Class I and Class T Shares. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Since inception return for the benchmark reflects the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

 

(3) 

Performance of Class T Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum sales charge.

 

(4)

This maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class T Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

 

(5)

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers and expense reimbursements and inclusive of Acquired Fund fees and expenses, reflect expenses for Class I Shares from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and from the April 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, for the Class T Shares and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time. “Acquired Fund” means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the year.The Fund’s shareholders indirectly bear the operating expenses of the Fund’s underlying investments.

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), including contingent deferred sales charges, all of which are described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses, net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the six-month period December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” does not reflect Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. If Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses were included, expenses would be higher.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees, where applicable, and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period shown and held for the entire six-month period (December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016).

The Expense Table for your Fund illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s net asset value will decline due to rising interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

 

   

Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

PNC Balanced Allocation Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks, fixed income securities and cash equivalents with varying asset allocations.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Balanced Allocation Fund returned -3.24% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -1.43% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, a 60% S&P 500® Index(2) and 40% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(3) blend(4), returned 2.46%.

During the period, fixed income (Barclays Aggregate) outperformed equities, returning 3.0%. Domestic large-cap equities largely outperformed other major equity classes, with the S&P 500® returning 1.7%. Domestic small-cap equities (Russell 2000), international equities (MSCI ACWI ex USA), and emerging market equities (MSCI EM) produced negative returns at -6.0%, -11.0%, and -17.3%, respectively. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (Barclays TIPS) returned 1.2%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Allocation overall detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the annual period due primarily to allocations to international developed equities and emerging market equities. Although the Fund’s overall equity allocation remained, on average, slightly below the blended benchmark weight during the annual period, the returns of international developed equities and emerging market equities — along with U.S. small-cap equities — underperformed U.S. large cap equities as represented in the equity portion of the blended benchmark, and such exposure detracted from relative performance. Additionally, a modest cash investment position underperformed the fixed income allocation.

 

  º

Fixed income returns were modestly positive during the annual period and outperformed U.S. large-cap equities.

 

  º

International developed equities, emerging market equities and U.S. small-cap equities produced losses during the annual period.

 

   

Selection overall had a neutral effect on the Fund’s relative results during the annual period

 

  º

Within the equity portion of the Fund, the actively managed, dividend-focused investments outperformed the S&P 500® Index during the annual period. Detracting from the Fund’s relative results during the annual period were small-cap equity and international equity investments, which lagged the S&P 500® Index during the annual period given increased market volatility and slow global economic growth.

 

  º

The fixed income portion of the Fund underperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index during the annual period driven in part by duration and credit exposure positioning. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

What portfolio changes were made during the reporting period?

 

  º

The Fund’s equity allocation remained below the blended benchmark throughout. The equity allocation was reduced to 56% in July and August 2015, as the portfolio management team became concerned about equity market valuations and heightened risks to earnings. Post the market correction in August 2015, the portfolio management team added 2% to the Fund’s equity allocation, where it remained for the rest of the annual period.

B A L A N C E D  A L L O C A T I O N  F U N D  O V E R V I E W    ( U n a u d i t e d )

 

 

  º

The Fund’s fixed income allocation rose with the reduction in the equity allocation during July and August 2015, where it remained until mid-December 2015. At that time, the portfolio management team added a 2% Fund position in Treasury inflation-protected investments given our expectation of rising future inflation. Additionally, the portfolio management team remains concerned about the low level of interest rates and possible diverging monetary policies within developed economies.

 

  º

The Fund’s cash position fluctuated during the annual period but remained overweight throughout to deploy funds as needed to other attractive asset classes.

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for Class I and Class C Shares only. The performance of Class A and Class T Shares may be greater or less than that shown in the graph based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Since inception returns for the benchmarks reflect the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than shown here.

PNC International Equity Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in a portfolio of equity securities that are tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world, typically three or more.

 

Effective February 29, 2016, the Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI EAFE® Index to the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index to enable comparison of the Fund to its investment universe by capturing both developed and emerging markets. This change does not represent a change to the Fund’s investment process or PNC Capital Advisors’ views on investing internationally. Selection of the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index as its benchmark reflected the Fund’s typical emerging market exposure.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC International Equity Fund returned -9.77% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -8.02% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -11.39%. The Fund’s former benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index(2), returned -9.68%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

While absolute returns were disappointing, effective individual security selection and top-down country allocation decisions overall within the Fund contributed favorably to its relative results during the annual period. Sector allocation as a whole detracted slightly.

 

   

Security selection was most effective within the healthcare, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors. Having an underweighted allocation to financials, which was the second-weakest sector in the Index during the annual period, further boosted the Fund’s relative results. Having an allocation to cash during a period when the Index declined added value as well.

 

   

Only partially offsetting these positive factors was the detracting effect of weaker stock selection in energy. Having an underweight to consumer staples, which was the best performing sector in the Index during the annual period, and an overweight to materials, which was the weakest performing sector in the Index during the annual period, also detracted from relative performance.

 

   

From a country perspective, individual security selection was most effective within Germany, followed by Sweden, Spain and Japan. Having overweighted allocations to Thailand, Ireland and India, which each significantly outpaced the Index during the annual period, also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance.

 

   

Conversely, weaker stock selection in Hong Kong, Norway and France detracted from Fund results. Also negatively impacting Fund performance were having an underweight to Canada, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, and positioning in China.

 

   

Amongst individual positions, Japan-based specialty pharmaceutical company ONO Pharmaceutical, Germany-based banking machine and cash register manufacturer Wincor Nixdorf and Sweden-based international biotechnology firm Vitrolife contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the annual period.

 

   

Conversely, holdings in China-based automotive retailer CAR, Hong Kong-based lottery machine provider REXLot Holdings and U.K.-based oil and gas exploration and production company Tullow Oil detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period.

PNC International Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by primarily investing in a portfolio of equity securities that are tied economically to a number of countries throughout the world, typically three or more.

 

The PNC International Growth Fund launched on February 29, 2016.

How did the Fund perform during the period from its inception on February 29, 2016 through May 31, 2016 (the “reporting period”)?

During the reporting period, PNC International Growth Fund returned 3.12% to Class A Shares investors(1) and 9.20% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Growth Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 8.49%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the reporting period?

 

   

Effective individual security selection and top-down country allocation decisions overall within the Fund contributed favorably to its relative results during the reporting period. Sector allocation as a whole detracted slightly.

 

   

Security selection was most effective within the healthcare, information technology, consumer staples and consumer discretionary sectors.

 

   

Only partially offsetting these positive factors was the detracting effect of weaker stock selection in materials. Having an overweight to health care, which lagged the Index during the reporting period, also detracted from relative performance. Having a position in cash during a period when the Index rallied dampened relative results as well.

 

   

From a country perspective, individual security selection was most effective within Japan, followed by United Arab Emirates, India and the Netherlands. Conversely, positioning in Germany, Bermuda, South Korea and Spain detracted from Fund results.

 

   

Amongst individual positions, Japan-based medical equipment developer Cyberdyne, United Arab Emirates-based diversified healthcare company NMC Health and Japan-based consumer electronics giant Sony contributed most positively to the Fund’s relative results during the reporting period.

 

   

Conversely, holdings in China-based automotive retailer CAR, Germany-based food preparation appliance manufacturer Rational and Israel-based renewable energy equipment provider SolarEdge Technologies detracted most from the Fund’s relative performance during the reporting period.

PNC Large Cap Core Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of domestic large-cap companies.

 

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Large Cap Core Fund returned -2.66% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -0.74% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 1.72%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Stock selection detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the annual period. Sector allocation overall contributed positively, albeit modestly.

 

   

Individual security selection within the information technology, consumer discretionary and financials sectors detracted most from the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

Only partially offsetting these detractors was individual stock selection in the healthcare and industrials sectors, which contributed positively to the Fund’s results during the annual period. Having an underweighted allocation to energy, which was the weakest sector in the Index during the annual period, also buoyed the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors from relative performance included wireless semiconductor company Skyworks Solutions, semiconductor company NXP Semiconductors and social networking website operator Facebook.

 

   

The biggest positive individual contributors to returns included cardiovascular medical device manufacturer Edwards Lifesciences, aerospace and defense company Northrop Grumman and alcoholic beverage producer Constellation Brands.

PNC Large Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of growth-oriented domestic large-cap equity securities.

 

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Large Cap Growth Fund returned -4.65% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -2.89% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 1.61%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Stock selection detracted most from the Fund’s performance relative to the Index during the annual period. Sector allocation overall also detracted, albeit more modestly.

 

   

Individual security selection within the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors negatively impacted the Fund’s relative results most. Having an overweighted allocation to energy, which was by far the weakest performing sector in the Index during the annual period, also detracted. To a lesser degree, stock selection in financials and telecommunication services further dampened relative results.

 

   

These detractors were only partially offset by the positive contribution of effective individual stock selection in the energy, industrials and healthcare sectors.

 

   

Among the biggest individual detractors from performance were social networking website operator Facebook, wireless semiconductor company Skyworks Solutions and real estate and investment management services provider Jones Lang LaSalle.

 

   

The biggest positive individual contributors to returns included cardiovascular medical device manufacturer Edwards Lifesciences, alcoholic beverage producer Constellation Brands and tobacco company Altria Group.

PNC Large Cap Value Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of value-oriented, domestic equity securities of large-cap companies.

 

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Large Cap Value Fund returned -2.62% to Class C Shares
investors(1) and -0.80% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -0.06%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Individual security selection detracted from the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period. Sector allocation overall contributed positively, albeit modestly.

 

   

Detracting from the Fund’s relative results most was stock selection in the financials, healthcare and information technology sectors. Stock selection in and having an overweighted allocation to consumer discretionary, which lagged the Index during the annual period, also dampened the Fund’s performance.

 

   

Effective security selection in the energy, industrials and utilities sectors contributed most favorably to the Fund’s results. Having an underweighted allocation to energy, the weakest performing sector in the Index during the annual period, further buoyed the Fund’s results.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors included real estate and investment management services provider Jones Lang LaSalle, financial planning and services firm Ameriprise Financial and software giant Microsoft.

 

   

The most significant individual contributors to performance included tobacco company Reynolds American, self-storage real estate investment trust Extra Space Storage and water and wastewater utilities company American Water Works Company.

PNC Mid Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing in a diversified portfolio of domestic equity securities of mid-cap companies.

 

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Mid Cap Fund returned -11.38% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -9.65% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell MidCap® Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -1.97%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Security selection overall detracted from the Fund’s results. Sector allocation decisions as a whole contributed positively, albeit modestly.

 

   

Detracting most from the Fund’s relative results was security selection within the financials, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors. Hampering results most from an allocation perspective was having no exposure to utilities, which was the best performing sector in the Index during the annual period. Having an overweight to consumer discretionary, which significantly lagged the Index during the annual period, also detracted from relative performance.

 

   

Only partially offsetting these detractors was the positive contribution made by effective security selection in the energy sector. Having underweights to energy and healthcare, which each lagged the Index during the annual period, added favorably to relative performance as well.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors from returns included outsourced receivables management provider PRA Group, electrical equipment producer OSI Systems and aerospace and defense industry parts supplier Esterline Technologies, each an out-of-Index position that performed poorly during the annual period.

 

   

The most significant individual contributors to performance included property and casualty insurance company RLI, packaged food manufacturer TreeHouse Foods and bank Eagle Bancorp, each an out-of-Index position that performed well during the annual period.

PNC Mid Cap Index Fund seeks to approximate, before fund expenses, the investment results of the S&P MidCap 400® Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

During the annual period, PNC Mid Cap Index Fund returned -0.85% to Class I Shares investors and -0.84% to Class R4 Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P MidCap 400® Index(1) (the “Index”), returned -0.42%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the period?

 

   

Only three of the ten sectors within the Index generated gains during the annual period, while seven posted negative absolute returns.

 

   

The weakest performing sector within the Index was energy, followed at some distance by consumer discretionary and information technology. Utilities was the best performing sector within the Index, posting a double-digit gain. Financials and materials also advanced during the annual period, albeit more modestly.

 

   

The worst performing individual stocks within the Index on an absolute basis were semiconductor and semiconductor equipment company SunEdison, coal producer Peabody Energy and oil and gas exploration and production company California Resources, each of which experienced a double-digit decline during the annual period.

 

   

On an absolute basis, the best performing individual stocks within the Index were semiconductor and semiconductor equipment company Advanced Micro Devices, food products staples company Post Holdings and information technology services provider Computer Sciences, each of which generated a robust double-digit total return during the annual period.

PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of small-cap equity securities that possess both value and growth characteristics.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund returned -8.80% to Class A Shares investors(1) and -3.20% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -5.97%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Our multi-factor systematic approach to stock selection focuses on companies with reasonable valuations, improving fundamentals and increasing awareness of investor behavior, which helped us during the annual period, as our model carries individual factors like cash flow to price, free cash flow to enterprise value, sales growth, earnings growth, estimate revision change and earnings estimate dispersion. Risk management in portfolio construction also factored into relative results favorably.

 

   

While absolute returns were disappointing, individual security selection contributed most positively to the Fund’s outperformance of the Index during the annual period. Sector allocation decisions overall also boosted relative results, albeit more modestly.

 

   

Security selection within healthcare, industrials, energy and consumer discretionary proved particularly effective.

 

   

Detracting from results was security selection within the financials, information technology and utilities sectors.

 

   

The biggest positive individual contributors to performance included building products companies Universal Forest Products and American Woodmark of the industrials sector and healthcare equipment and supplies company Cantel Medical.

 

   

The greatest individual detractors from performance included biotechnology firm Sorrento Therapeutics, real estate investment trust United Development Funding IV and specialty retail company Shoe Carnival.

The Russell 2000® Index, an unmanaged index of companies widely representative of small capitalization companies based on market capitalization, is not available for direct investment. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, investment advisory fees or other expenses.

(3) 

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for its Class I and Class A Shares. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

This maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“Max CDSC”) applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of growth-oriented small cap equity securities.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund returned -5.42% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -3.63% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -9.13%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Our multi-factor systematic approach to stock selection focuses on companies with reasonable valuations, improving fundamentals and increasing awareness of investor behavior, which helped us during the annual period, as our model carries individual factors like cash flow to price, free cash flow to enterprise value, sales growth, earnings growth, estimate revision change and earnings estimate dispersion. Risk management in portfolio construction also factored into relative results favorably.

 

   

While absolute returns were disappointing, security selection decisions contributed most positively to the Fund’s outperformance of the Index during the annual period. Sector allocation decisions overall also contributed positively, albeit more modestly, to relative results.

 

   

Security selection within the healthcare sector was particularly strong. Security selection within industrials, consumer staples and materials also proved effective. Having overweighted allocations to financials and materials, which each outpaced the Index during the annual period, further buoyed relative results.

 

   

Partially offsetting these positives was weaker security selection within the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. Detracting most from a sector allocation perspective was having an underweighted position in information technology, which outperformed the Index during the annual period.

 

   

Top individual contributors to performance included software provider SolarWinds, machinery company John Bean Technologies and biotechnology firm Radius Health.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors included specialty retail company Francesca’s Holdings, household durables company Zagg and healthcare providers and services company Molina Healthcare.

PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks of small-cap companies that are believed to be conservatively valued.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund returned -7.22% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -5.49% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Value Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -2.75%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Our multi-factor systematic approach to stock selection focuses on companies with reasonable valuations, improving fundamentals and increasing awareness of investor behavior, and our model carries individual factors like cash flow to price, free cash flow to enterprise value, sales growth, earnings growth, estimate revision change and earnings estimate dispersion. Risk management in portfolio construction also factored into relative results. The investment team’s multi-factor strategies tend to outperform in trending markets and in down markets. Market transitions such as that experienced during the annual period tend to present challenges to the team’s process.

 

   

Security selection decisions detracted from the Fund’s relative results during the annual period. Sector allocation decisions overall contributed positively.

 

   

Detracting most from results was security selection within the financials, information technology and industrials sectors.

 

   

Security selection proved most effective within the consumer discretionary, materials and utilities sectors. Having an underweighted allocation to energy, by far the weakest performing sector in the Index during the annual period, also buoyed relative performance.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors included capital markets financials firm Carlyle Group, L.P., consumable fuels energy company BP Prudhoe Bay RoyaltyTrust and biotechnology company Anthera Pharmaceuticals.

 

   

Individual stocks having a positive impact on performance included gas utilities company Piedmont Natural Gas, consumer discretionary distributor Pool and electronic equipment instruments and components company Sanmina-SCI.

PNC S&P 500 Index Fund seeks to approximate, before fund expenses, the investment results of the S&P 500® Index.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC S&P 500 Index Fund returned -0.83% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 1.08% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 1.72%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Six of the ten sectors within the Index generated solid gains during the annual period, but four posted negative absolute returns.

 

   

The best performing sectors within the Index were utilities, telecommunication services and consumer staples, which each posted double-digit positive returns. Energy, materials, healthcare and financials were the weakest sectors, each posting a negative return.

 

   

On an absolute basis, the best performing individual stocks within the Index were semiconductor device company NVIDIA, e-commerce retailing giant Amazon.com and information technology services provider Computer Sciences, each of which generated a robust total return during the annual period.

 

   

The worst performing individual stocks within the S&P 500® Index on an absolute basis were specialty pharmaceuticals company Endo International and oil and gas exploration and production companies California Resources and Chesapeake Energy, each of which experienced double-digit declines during the annual period.

PNC Small Cap Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in stocks of U.S. small-cap companies.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Small Cap Fund returned -7.14% to Class C Shares investors(1) and -5.34% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -5.97%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Security selection overall detracted, albeit modestly, from the Fund’s results. Sector allocation decisions as a whole contributed positively.

 

   

Individual stock selection in the financials, industrials, and consumer staples sectors detracted most during the annual period. Having no exposure to utilities, the best performing sector in the Index during the annual period, also detracted from relative performance.

 

   

Partially offsetting these detractors was security selection in the healthcare, consumer discretionary, information technology, energy, and materials sectors, which contributed favorably during the annual period. Having underweighted allocations to healthcare and energy, which were the two worst performing sectors in the Index during the annual period, also added value.

 

   

The biggest individual detractors included purchaser of charged-off consumer debt PRA Group, electrical equipment producer OSI Systems and aerospace and defense industry parts supplier Esterline Technologies.

 

   

The most significant positive individual contributors to performance included bank Eagle Bancorp, application software provider Manhattan Associates and real estate services provider FirstService.

Performance of Class A Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum sales charge. Performance of Class C Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“Max CDSC”) on the implied disposal of shares at the end of the period.

 

(2) 

The Russell 2000® Index, an unmanaged index of companies widely representative of small capitalization companies based on market capitalization, is not available for direct investment. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, investment advisory fees or other expenses.

 

(3) 

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for Class I and Class C Shares only. The performance of Class A Shares may be greater or less than that shown in the graph based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Since inception return for the benchmark reflects the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

 

(4) 

This Max CDSC applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

 

(5) 

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

PNC Small Cap Index Fund seeks to approximate, before fund expenses, the investment results of the Russell 2000® Index.

How did the Fund perform during the period?

During the annual period, PNC Small Cap Index Fund returned -4.96% to Class I Shares and -5.05% to Class R4 Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index(1) (the “Index”), returned -5.97%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the period?

 

   

Only four of the ten sectors within the Index generated gains during the annual period, while six posted negative absolute returns.

 

   

The weakest performing sector within the Index by some distance was energy, followed by healthcare, consumer discretionary and materials, which each generated a double-digit negative return. Utilities and telecommunication services were the best performing sectors within the Index, each posting a double-digit gain. Consumer staples and financials also advanced during the annual period, albeit more modestly.

 

   

The worst performing individual stocks within the Index on an absolute basis were capital markets financials company RCS Capital, oil, gas and consumable fuels company Magnum Hunter Resources and media company SFX Entertainment, each of which experienced double-digit declines during the annual period.

 

   

On an absolute basis, the best performing individual stocks within the Index were diversified consumer services provider Weight Watchers International, insurance company Phoenix Companies and semiconductor and semiconductor equipment company MaxLinear, each of which generated a robust triple-digit total return during the annual period.

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), including contingent deferred sales charges, all of which are described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses, net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the six-month period December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” does not reflect Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. If Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses were included, expenses would be higher.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees, where applicable, and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period shown and held for the entire six-month period (December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016).

The Expense Table that appears in your Fund’s overview illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

(1) 

Per share data calculated using average shares outstanding method.

 

(2) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a payment was made by the Adviser to offset a trade error in the Fund. The payment, net of the trade error, had no impact on the total return of the Fund.

 

(3) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser. The payment represents a reimbursement of shareholder services fees borne in prior periods by Class C Shares of the Fund. For tax purposes, this amount represents capital. The payment had no impact to the total return of the Fund.

 

(4) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.08% and 0.02% impact to Class A and Class C ratios, respectively, and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default brokerdealer to certain Class A and Class C shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower.

 

(5) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.09% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

 

(6) 

Class T Shares commenced operations on April 28, 2015. Prior to November 18, 2015, net assets of this share class represented seed capital; therefore, no information is presented for the prior fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.18% and 0.22% impact to Class A and Class C ratios, respectively, and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A and Class C shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, 0.13%, 0.13% and 0.14% of Class I, Class A, and Class C total returns, respectively, were attributable to a voluntary payment made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser. The payment represents a reimbursement of shareholder services fees borne in prior periods by Class C Shares of the Fund. For tax purposes, this amount represents capital. Excluding this item, the total returns would have been 14.80%, 14.68%, and 13.75% for Class I, Class A, and Class C, respectively.

 

(3) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.15% and 0.05% impact to Class A and Class C ratios, respectively, and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A and Class C shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower.

 

(4) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.22% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.09% and 0.03% impact to Class A and Class C ratios, respectively, and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A and Class C shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.06% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser. The payment represents a reimbursement of shareholder services fees borne in prior periods by Class C Shares of the Fund. For tax purposes, this amount represents capital. The payment had no impact to the total return of the Fund.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.03% and 0.01% impact to Class A and Class C ratios, respectively, and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A and Class C shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower.

 

(5) 

Class R4 and Class R5 commenced operations on December 30, 2013. Prior to September 3, 2014, net assets of the Class R4 Shares represented initial seed capital; therefore, no 2014 information is presented. All ratios for the period have been annualized. Total return for the period has not been annualized.

Guarantees by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. Although U.S. government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.

PNC Bond Fund seeks to provide current income as well as preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income securities.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Bond Fund returned 0.40% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 2.27% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 2.99%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Issue selection within the corporate credit sector was the primary detractor from relative results. Holdings in the energy and materials industries were particularly weak performers during the annual period.

 

   

While sector allocation as a whole had a positive effect on the Fund’s relative results, having an overweighted allocation to the corporate credit sector, which lagged the Index during the annual period, detracted.

 

   

On the positive side, having an overweighted allocation to asset-backed securities, which outperformed the Index during the annual period, and having underweighted exposure to the non-corporate credit sector, which lagged the Index during the annual period, added value.

 

   

The combination of duration and yield curve positioning contributed most positively to the Fund’s results. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Index at the short-term end of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, which helped as shorter-term U.S. Treasury yields increased during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

   

At the end of the annual period, the Fund maintained overweighted allocations to the corporate credit and asset-backed securities sectors and underweighted allocations to the U.S. Treasury, agency securities and non-corporate credit sectors.The Fund also maintained its short duration relative to that of the Index.

Performance of Class A Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum sales charge. Performance of Class C Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum applicable contingent deferred sales charge (“Max CDSC”) on the implied disposal of shares at the end of the period.

 

(2)

The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged market value weighted index of fixed income securities, is not available for direct investment. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, investment advisory fees or other expenses.

 

(3)

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for Class I and Class C Shares only. The performance of Class A Shares may be greater or less than that shown in the graph based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception.

 

(4)

This Max CDSC applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

 

(5)

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

PNC Government Mortgage Fund seeks to provide current income as well as preservation of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of mortgage-related securities.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Government Mortgage Fund returned -0.23% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 1.66% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Rate Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 2.72%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

The combination of duration and yield curve positioning detracted from the Fund’s relative results. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Index, which detracted from relative performance as U.S. Treasury yields at the intermediate and longer-term segments of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, declined during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

   

Security selection amongst conventional 15-year mortgage-backed securities further dampened the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

Having an overweighted allocation to U.S. Treasury securities had a modestly negative effect on the Fund’s relative performance, as U.S.Treasuries outperformed mortgage-backed securities during the annual period.

 

   

At the end of the annual period, the Fund maintained an underweighted allocation to Ginnie Mae securities and overweighted allocations to conventional mortgages and U.S. Treasury securities. The Fund also maintained its short duration relative to that of the Index.

The Barclays U.S. Mortgage-Backed Securities Fixed Rate Index, a widely used, unmanaged index of mortgage-backed securities, is not available for direct investment.

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for Class I and Class C Shares only. The performance of Class A Shares may be greater or less than that shown in the graph based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Since inception return for the benchmark reflects the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

This Max CDSC applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

PNC High Yield Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income along with capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of high-yield debt securities (also known as “junk bonds”).

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC High Yield Bond Fund returned -6.96% to Class A Shares investors(1) and -2.36% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index(2) (the “Index”), returned -0.81%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Detracting most from the Fund’s relative performance was issue selection overall. Holdings in the energy and materials industries were particularly weak performers during the annual period.

 

   

Credit quality allocation also added value overall. During the annual period as a whole, higher-rated credit generally outperformed lower-rated credit. The Fund’s underweighted allocation to lower-rated credit and overweighted allocation to higher-rated credit contributed favorably to its relative results.

PNC Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to provide current income as well as preservation of capital by investing primarily in a portfolio of domestic and foreign investment-grade fixed income securities.

 

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Intermediate Bond Fund returned -0.77% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 1.09% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 2.24%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Issue selection within the corporate credit sector was the primary detractor from relative results. Holdings in the energy and materials industries were particularly weak performers during the annual period.

 

   

The combination of duration and yield curve positioning also detracted from the Fund’s results. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Index, which detracted from relative performance as U.S. Treasury yields at the intermediate and longer-term segments of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, declined during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

   

Sector allocation overall contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results. More specifically, having an overweighted allocation to the asset-backed securities sector, which outperformed the Index during the annual period, and having underweighted allocation to the non-corporate credit sector, which lagged the Index during the annual period, added value.

 

   

At the end of the annual period, the Fund maintained overweighted allocations to the corporate credit, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities sectors and underweighted allocations to the U.S.Treasury, agency securities and non-corporate credit sectors. The Fund also maintained its short duration relative to that of the Index.

PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund seeks to provide current income as well as preservation of capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income securities.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned -1.09% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 0.64% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 0.97%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Sector allocation overall made the most positive contribution to the Fund’s results during the annual period. In particular, having overweighted allocation to the corporate, which outperformed the Index during the annual period, and an underweighted exposure to the U.S. Treasury sector, which lagged the Index during the annual period, boosted relative performance.

 

   

Overweighted allocations to mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, which each outpaced the Index, also added value.

 

   

Issue selection in the corporate credit sector also contributed positively.

 

   

Duration and yield curve positioning had a rather neutral impact on Fund results during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

   

At the end of the annual period, the Fund maintained overweighted allocations to the corporate credit, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities sectors and underweighted allocations to the U.S.Treasury, agency securities and non-corporate credit sectors.The Fund also maintained its short duration relative to that of the Index given the asymmetric risk profile of the short-term end of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities.

PNC Total Return Advantage Fund seeks to provide current income as well as capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income securities.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Total Return Advantage Fund returned -0.75% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 1.32% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 2.99%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Issue selection within the investment-grade corporate credit sector was the primary detractor from relative results. Holdings in the energy and materials industries were particularly weak performers during the annual period.

 

   

Sector allocation overall also dampened the Fund’s relative results. More specifically, having an overweighted allocation to the high-yield corporate credit sector, which underperformed the Index, detracted. This more than offset the positive contribution made by having an overweighted allocation to asset-backed securities, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, and having an underweighted allocation to the non-corporate credit sector, which lagged the Index during the annual period.

 

   

Duration and yield curve positioning detracted from the Fund’s relative results, albeit to a more modest degree. The Fund had a shorter duration than that of the Index, which detracted from relative performance as U.S.Treasury yields at the intermediate and longer-term segments of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities, declined during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Since inception return for the benchmark reflects the closest month end to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

This Max CDSC applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

Total Fund Operating Expenses shown, both gross and net of waivers, reimbursements and payments by affiliate, where applicable, reflect expenses from the September 28, 2015 Prospectus, as amended from time to time, and may differ from those found within the Expense Tables and Financial Highlights. The Total Fund Operating Expenses reflect the Adviser’s contractual obligation to waive management fees and reimburse expenses through at least February 28, 2017, except that this obligation may be terminated by the Board at any time.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

Guarantees by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. Although U.S. government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.

PNC Ultra Short Bond Fund seeks to obtain high current income while preserving capital by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of investment-grade fixed income securities.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Ultra Short Bond Fund returned -0.80% to Class A Shares investors(1) and 0.48% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 1-Year Treasury Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 0.37%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Sector allocation overall contributed most positively to the Fund’s performance during the annual period, with an overweighted allocation to the corporate credit sector helping most. Overweighted allocations to mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities, which each outpaced the Index, also added value.

 

   

Duration and yield curve positioning had a modest, yet positive, impact on the Fund’s results during the annual period. Shorter-term U.S.Treasury yields rose, and the Fund was positioned with a shorter duration than that of the Index. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

 

   

There were no significant detractors from the Fund’s results during the annual period.

 

   

At the end of the annual period, we continued to favor the corporate credit and structured product sectors for the Fund due to what we considered to be favorable fundamentals and relative value compared to the U.S.Treasury sector.The Fund also maintained its short duration relative to that of the Index given the asymmetric risk profile of the short-term end of the yield curve, or spectrum of maturities.

Guarantees, if any, by municipal issuers or the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in a tax-exempt fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the yield of the Fund will decline due to falling interest rates. For some investors, income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) and/or to state or local taxes. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes. Economic or political changes may impact the ability of municipal issuers to repay principal and interest payments on securities of the Fund, which may adversely impact the shares of the Fund.

PNC Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund seeks to provide high current income while preserving capital that is exempt from federal income tax by investing in a variety of municipal debt securities issued by or on behalf of states, territories and possessions of the United States, the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities and authorities.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund returned 3.09% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 5.03% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 5.40%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Detracting most from the Fund’s relative performance were underweighted allocations to bonds of California and New York, which overall outpaced the Index during the annual period.

 

   

From a credit quality perspective, having an underweight to AA-rated bonds dampened the Fund’s relative results most.

 

   

From a sector perspective, positioning in the tax-backed and IDR/PCF (Industrial Development Revenue/Pollution Control Revenue) bond sectors detracted from relative performance most.

 

   

Duration and yield curve position overall detracted, albeit modestly, from the Fund’s results during the annual period. We seek to match the portfolio option-adjusted duration (“OAD”) to that of the Index, though we did adjust the Fund’s duration during the annual period as market conditions shifted. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As for yield curve positioning, we seek to match the Fund’s key rate duration measures (“KDURs”) to those of the Index.

 

   

Positions in an Indiana higher education bond, a Kansas healthcare bond, a California appropriate bond, a New Jersey toll road bond and an Illinois state general obligation bond were the biggest individual disappointments.

 

   

On the positive side, having overweights to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds contributed most favorably to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period.

 

   

Sector allocation overall further boosted the Fund’s relative results, primarily positioning in healthcare and higher education.

 

   

Security selection among and overweights to Florida and Illinois bonds added value as well.

 

   

Amongst individual holdings, positions in an Indiana healthcare bond, a Texas public power bond, an Indiana higher education bond, a Georgia airport bond and an Illinois state general obligation performed especially well.

Guarantees, if any, by municipal issuers or the State of Maryland, the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in a tax-exempt fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the yield of the Fund will decline due to falling interest rates. For some investors, income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) and/or to state or local taxes. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes. Economic or political changes may impact the ability of municipal issuers to repay principal and interest payments on securities of the Fund, which may adversely impact the shares of the Fund.

 

 

The Fund’s focus on investments in securities of municipalities located in a single state makes the Fund susceptible to economic, political and regulatory events that affect that state. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest in securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible than a diversified fund to a single adverse economic or political and regulatory occurrence affecting one or more issuers.

PNC Maryland Tax Exempt Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of interest income that is exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes by investing in investment-grade municipal bonds and other municipal obligations issued by the State of Maryland, its counties, municipalities and other taxing districts, and other issuers located outside of Maryland that are exempt from federal income taxes, federal alternative minimum tax and Maryland state and local income taxes.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Maryland Tax Exempt Bond Fund returned 2.12% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 4.19% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index(2) (the“Index”), returned 5.40%. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P Maryland Municipal Bond Index(2), returned 4.69%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Duration and yield curve positioning overall detracted most from the Fund’s results during the annual period. We seek to match the portfolio option-adjusted duration (“OAD”) to that of the Index. On average, the OAD of the Fund was shorter than that of the Index, which detracted from relative performance as intermediate and longer-term interest rates declined during the annual period as a whole. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As for yield curve positioning, we seek to match the Fund’s key rate duration measures (“KDURs”) to those of the Index.

 

   

From a sector perspective, having underweights in the transportation, utility and tax-backed sectors dampened relative results.

 

   

Having underweighted allocations to AA-rated bonds and BBB-rated bonds compared to the Index further detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

 

   

Positions in a Maryland prerefunded/escrowed-to-maturity bond, a Washington, Maryland local general obligation bond, a Maryland dedicated tax bond and a Maryland higher education bond were the biggest individual disappointments.

 

   

On the positive side, sector allocation overall contributed most favorably to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period, primarily positioning in healthcare.

 

   

Having overweights to AAA-rated bonds and A-rated bonds further boosted the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

Positions in two Maryland healthcare bonds, two Maryland land secured bonds and a Baltimore County, Maryland local general obligation bond added particular value.

PNC Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, to the extent possible, from Ohio personal income tax, as is consistent with the preservation of capital, by investing in debt securities issued by the State of Ohio, its political subdivisions and their agencies and instrumentalities that generate income exempt from federal income taxes (including the federal alternative minimum tax) and Ohio personal income taxes.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Ohio Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund returned 2.40% to Class C Shares investors(1) and 4.42% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 5.40%. The Fund’s secondary benchmark, the S&P Ohio Municipal Bond Index(2), returned 8.00%.

On average, the OAD of the Fund was slightly shorter than that of the Index, which hurt as intermediate and longer-term interest rates declined during the annual period as a whole. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As for yield curve positioning, we seek to match the Fund’s key rate duration measures (“KDURs”) to those of the Index.

 

   

Underweighted exposure to AA-rated, A-rated and BBB-rated bonds, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, further detracted from the Fund’s relative performance.

 

   

From a sector perspective, underweighted positioning in the tax-backed and transportation bond sectors, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, dampened relative results.

 

   

Positions in a Dublin, Ohio local general obligation bond, two Ohio prerefunded/escrowed-to-maturity bonds, an Ohio higher education bond and an Ohio water/sewer bond were the biggest individual disappointments.

 

   

On the positive side, sector allocation and security selection overall boosted the Fund’s relative results, primarily selection and overweights in the healthcare and utility sectors.

 

   

Having an overweight to AAA-rated bonds, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, also contributed positively to relative results.

 

   

Positions in two Ohio higher education bonds, two Ohio water/sewer bonds and an Ohio healthcare bond added particular value.

The S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index is a broad, market value-weighted index that seeks to measure the performance of the U.S. municipal bond market. All bonds in the index are exempt from U.S. federal income taxes or subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT). The maturity based sub-indices classify the bonds included in each respective sub-index by minimum term maturity as of the rebalancing reference date. The state level municipal bond indices consist of bonds that have been issued by municipalities or municipal authorities within the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These indices are not available for direct investment. Unlike the performance of a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, investment advisory fees or other expenses.

(3) 

The graph provides the return of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund for the most recent 10-year period for Class I and Class C Shares only. The performance of Class A Shares may be greater or less than that shown in the graph based on the difference in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and the deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees, net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as applicable. Without such fee waivers and expense reimbursements, performance of the Fund would have been lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, performance information shown for the period before inception of that share class includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception.

(4) 

This Max CDSC applies only to purchases of $1,000,000 or more of Class A Shares if the shares are redeemed within 12 months of the date of purchase.

(5) 

The benchmarks were launched subsequent to the inception date of Class I Shares of the Fund.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at pncfunds.com.

Guarantees, if any, by municipal issuers or the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in a tax-exempt fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the yield of the Fund will decline due to falling interest rates. For some investors, income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) and/or to state or local taxes. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes. Economic or political changes may impact the ability of municipal issuers to repay principal and interest payments on securities of the Fund, which may adversely impact the shares of the Fund.

 

Please see the Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

PNC Tax Exempt Limited Maturity Bond Fund seeks to provide a high level of income that is exempt from regular federal income tax, as is consistent with relative protection of capital, by investing in municipal bonds and other municipal obligations that pay interest that is exempt from both regular federal income tax and federal alternative minimum tax.

How did the Fund perform during the annual period?

During the annual period, PNC Tax Exempt Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned -1.04% to Class A Shares investors(1) and 2.19% to Class I Shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Short Intermediate Index(2) (the “Index”), returned 2.95%.

What factors most significantly affected the Fund’s performance during the annual period?

 

   

Duration and yield curve positioning overall detracted most from the Fund’s results during the annual period. We seek to match the portfolio option-adjusted duration (“OAD”) to that of the Index. On average, the OAD of the Fund was shorter than that of the Index, which detracted from relative performance as intermediate and longer-term interest rates declined during the annual period as a whole, even though shorter-term interest rates generally rose during the annual period. Duration is a measure of the Fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates. As for yield curve positioning, we seek to match the Fund’s key rate duration measures (“KDURs”) to those of the Index.

 

   

The Fund’s selection among and underweighted allocation to AA-rated bonds, which outpaced the Index during the annual period, also detracted from its performance relative to the Index.

 

   

Further detracting from the Fund’s relative performance were underweighted allocations to bonds of California and New York, which, overall, outpaced the Index during the annual period.

 

   

From a sector perspective, positioning in the tax-backed and utility bond sectors dampened relative results.

 

   

Positions in several housing bonds — three from Tennessee and two from Massachusetts — were the biggest individual disappointments.

 

   

On the positive side, having an overweight to A-rated bonds contributed most favorably to the Fund’s relative performance during the annual period.

 

   

Sector allocation overall further boosted the Fund’s relative results, primarily overweights to healthcare and higher education. Individual security selection within each of these sectors added value as well.

 

   

Having overweights to and effective security selection among Florida and Illinois bonds contributed positively to the Fund’s relative results.

 

   

Two Florida dedicated tax bonds, a Florida higher education bond, a Pennsylvania higher education bond and an Illinois state general obligation bond were amongst those individual positions that performed especially well during the annual period.

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), including contingent deferred sales charges, all of which are described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses, net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the six-month period December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016 and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” does not reflect Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses. If Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses were included, expenses would be higher.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees, where applicable, and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided on the following pages are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six-month period shown and held for the entire six-month period (December 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016).

The Expense Table that appears for your Fund below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an assumed annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

(1) 

Per share data calculated using average shares outstanding method.

(2) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser. The payment represents a reimbursement of shareholder services fees borne in prior periods by Class C Shares of the Fund. For tax purposes, this amount represents capital. The payment had no impact to the total return of the Fund.

(3) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares and Class C Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.27% impact to Class A ratios and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratios would have been higher and the net investment income ratios would have been lower. The voluntary commitment had no impact to Class C ratios.

(4) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.06% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares. This voluntary commitment had no impact to Class A ratios.

(3) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.12% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

Due to its investment strategy, the Ultra Short Bond Fund may buy and sell securities frequently. This may result in higher transaction costs and additional capital gains tax liabilities, and may lower Fund performance.

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, a voluntary payment was made by PNC Bank, N.A., an affiliate of the Adviser. The payment represents a reimbursement of shareholder services fees borne in prior periods by Class C Shares of the Fund. For tax purposes, this amount represents capital. The payment had no impact to the total return of the Fund.

 
(3) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2014, the Underwriter committed to make a voluntary expense reimbursement to Class A Shares. This voluntary commitment represented a 0.05% impact to Class A ratios and represented shareholder services fees paid to the Underwriter in prior fiscal years in its role as default broker-dealer to certain Class A shareholders. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

 
(4) 

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012, a portion of the Trust’s Class A distribution plan payable balance in excess of actual expenses incurred was added back to the Class A net asset value of the Fund, which represented a 0.07% impact to Class A ratios. Excluding this item, the expense ratio would have been higher and the net investment income ratio would have been lower.

1. Fund Organization

PNC Funds (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. As of May 31, 2016, the Trust offered for sale shares of 33 Funds. Each of the Funds is authorized to issue various classes of shares (individually, a “Class”, collectively, the “Classes”). Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and is substantially the same in all respects, except that the classes are subject to different distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees, sales charges and investment minimums. With respect to the Target Date, Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds, as defined below, Class I Shares, Class R Shares, Class R4 Shares and Class R5 Shares are sold without a sales charge; Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds’ Class A Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge; Balanced Allocation and Target Date Funds’ Class T Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge; and Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds’ Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances.

Effective February 29, 2016, the Trust began offering Class A Shares, Class I Shares and Class R Shares of PNC International Growth Fund. PNC International Growth Fund commenced operations on February 29, 2016.

As of May 31, 2016, the Trust offered five categories of Funds:

The financial statements presented herein are those of the Target Date, Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds (each referred to as a “Fund,” or collectively as the “Funds”). The financial statements of the Money Market Funds are not presented herein, but are presented separately.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to the Investment Companies Topic of U.S. GAAP.

Effective June 1, 2015, the Funds adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) that expanded secured borrowing accounting for certain repurchase agreements and also set forth additional disclosure requirements for certain transactions accounted for as sales in order to provide financial statement users with information to compare to similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. Adoption of the guidance necessitated additional disclosure related to securities lending (see Note 9).

 

251


    

 

    

    

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Investment Valuation

The funds typically value equity securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), master limited partnerships (“MLPs”), and other equity securities listed on a securities exchange or quoted on a national market system based on the last quoted sales price at the official close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, or the exchange on which they are traded, when market quotations are readily available for such a security. The Funds’ value their portfolio securities for purposes of calculating their net asset values (“NAV”) using procedures approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Those procedures allow for a variety of methodologies to be used to value a Fund’s securities. The specific methodologies used for a particular security may vary based on the market data available for a specific security at the time a Fund calculates its NAV or based on other considerations. The procedures also permit a level of judgment to be used in the valuation process. Accordingly, the methodologies summarized below are not an exhaustive list of the methodologies a Fund may use to value a security and they may not represent the means by which a Fund’s investments are valued on any particular day. Other securities traded on over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of their closing over-the-counter bid prices. Equity securities and ETFs for which there were no transactions, and for which market quotations are not readily available, are typically valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. Assets of the Funds invested in debt securities are typically valued based on evaluations provided by an independent pricing service (“Service”) approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”). A number of pricing services are available and the Funds may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service. When quoted bid prices for portfolio securities are readily available and are representative of the bid side of the market, these investments are valued at the quoted bid prices (as obtained by a Service from dealers in such securities). The Funds, under supervision of the Board, reserve the right to alternatively utilize the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices for fixed income securities, should such prices be determined to more accurately represent the value of those fixed income securities. Debt securities as well as other investments may be carried at fair value based on methods which include consideration of yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, stability, risk, coupon, maturity, type, trading characteristics and other market data or factors; indications as to values from dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities; and general market conditions.

Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less when purchased are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and cost. If this method is determined to be unreliable during certain market conditions or for other reasons, a Fund may value its investments at market price, or fair value prices may be determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board. Short-term obligations with greater than 60 days to maturity when purchased are valued at mark-to-market until the 60th day before maturity; after which they are valued at amortized cost until maturity.

Portfolio securities which are primarily traded on foreign securities exchanges are valued at the last sale price on that exchange or, if there is no recent sale, at the last current bid quotation. Such securities are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on their respective exchanges. A security which is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security at the official close of trading on the day of valuation. For valuation purposes, quotations of foreign securities in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rate at the close of market on the day of valuation. Certain foreign securities may be traded on foreign exchanges or over-the-counter markets on days on which a Fund’s NAV is not calculated. In such cases, the NAV of a Fund’s shares may be significantly affected on days when investors can neither purchase nor redeem shares of the Fund.

Investments in underlying PNC Funds or in any other mutual funds are valued at their respective NAV as determined by those funds each business day.

Forward currency contracts are valued based upon closing forward foreign exchange rates from each respective foreign market.

Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices at the official close of trading on the day of valuation.

The Board has approved and regularly reviews fair value pricing methods to be used in determining the good faith value of the investments of the Funds in the event that market quotations are not readily available or, if available, do not reflect the impact of certain market events. Fair valuation most commonly occurs with foreign securities. Market quotes are considered not readily available in circumstances where there is an absence of current or reliable market-based data (e.g., trade information, bid/asked information, broker quotes), including where events occur after the close of the relevant market, but prior to the close of trading, that affect the values of a Fund’s securities or assets. In addition, market quotes are considered not readily available when, due to extraordinary circumstances, the exchanges or markets on which the securities trade, do not open for trading the entire day and no other market prices are available. Significant events (e.g., movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that the Fund calculates its NAV (generally, the close of trading) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. In these cases, information furnished daily by the Service may be utilized to adjust closing market prices of certain foreign common stocks to reflect their fair value. Because the incidence of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain securities may occur on a frequent basis. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

Fair value represents the estimated price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Fair value measurements utilize a hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to establish fair value. These inputs, listed below, are summarized in three broad levels. Assets and liabilities reported at fair value are classified on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to fair value:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, including, but not limited to:

 

    

Equity securities and ETFs for which market quotations are readily available, that are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded.

 

   

Investment Companies – investments in open-end mutual funds which are valued at their closing NAV.

 

   

Futures contracts which are valued at their daily closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded.

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs, including but not limited to:

 

    

All Securities – quoted prices for similar securities; quoted prices based on recently executed transactions; adjusted quoted prices based on observable and formulaic inputs; certain non-exchange traded derivatives such as swaps, forwards, or over-the-counter traded options based on pricing models using inputs observed on actively quoted markets; or, observable correlated market inputs.

 

   

Equity Securities – certain foreign equity securities that are fair value adjusted through an independent pricing service, which considers statistically relevant trading pattern correlations in relation to the intraday trading in the U.S. securities markets, such as the movement of certain indexes, American Depositary Receipts, futures or ETFs.

 

   

Fixed Income Securities – independent pricing service-supplied valuations or quoted prices for similar securities or obligations, including matrix pricing, based on methods which consider standard inputs such as yields or prices of securities or obligations of comparable quality, stability, risk, coupon, collateral (as applicable), maturity, type, trading factors, multiple indications of value from dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities or obligations.

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs, including but not limited to:

 

    

All Securities – modeling or manual pricing based on each Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments; or, the significant use of unobservable inputs or stale inputs.

Each Fund recognizes transfers into and out of levels, if any, at the end of the reporting period. Certain foreign equity securities are fair value adjusted through a Service which considers statistically relevant trading patterns. Such securities may periodically move between input valuation Level 1 and input valuation Level 2 based on whether or not they meet fair value adjustment trigger requirements. Securities that meet the fair value adjustment trigger requirements are considered input valuation Level 2 securities.

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in total investments within the Schedules of Investments, such as futures and forwards, which are reflected in net assets at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the investment.

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

The valuation hierarchy of each Fund’s securities as of May 31, 2016 can be found at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis for financial statement preparation purposes. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the estimated lives of the respective investments using the effective interest method. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the respective Fund is notified. Certain countries may impose taxes on the Funds with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned. Expenses that are common to all of the Funds in the Trust are allocated among the Funds primarily on the basis of each Fund’s respective average net assets. However, other allocation methodologies may also be utilized when appropriate for a given circumstance, including a fixed or straight-line allocation across Funds. Expenses that are common to all Classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon the relative daily net assets of each Class. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific Class are charged directly to that Class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

With respect to the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds, dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, for Retirement Income, Balanced Allocation, Large Cap Core, Large Cap Value and S&P 500 Index Funds are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net investment income, if any, for Target 2020, Target 2030, Target 2040, Target 2050, International Equity, International Growth, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap, Mid Cap Index, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value, Small Cap and Small Cap Index Funds are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, will be distributed at least annually by each of the Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Delayed-Delivery Transactions

Certain Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed-delivery basis. These transactions involve a commitment by a Fund to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, a Fund will designate liquid assets in the amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, a Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its NAV. A Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell delayed-delivery securities before they are delivered, which may result in a capital gain or loss. When a Fund has sold a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund does not participate in any future gains and losses with respect to the security.

Exchange-Traded Funds

Certain Funds may invest in ETFs. The ETFs in which the Funds may invest may include actively managed ETFs as well as ETFs that generally seek investment results that correspond generally to the performance, before fees and expenses, of an underlying index. As a result, adverse performance of a particular security in an ETF’s underlying portfolio will ordinarily not result in the elimination of the security from the ETF’s portfolio. Each ETF offers and issues shares at its NAV per share only to certain institutional investors in aggregations of a specified number of shares, generally in exchange for a basket of securities included in its underlying index, together with the deposit of a specified cash payment. ETFs are listed and traded on national securities exchanges and also may be listed on certain non-U.S. exchanges.

ETFs are subject to additional risks due to their shares being listed and traded on securities exchanges. The per share NAV of an ETF is calculated at the end of each business day and fluctuates with changes in the market value of the ETF’s holdings since the most recent calculation. The trading prices of an ETF’s shares fluctuate continuously throughout trading hours based on market supply and demand as well as changes in market value. The trading prices of an ETF’s shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. Any of these factors may lead to an ETF’s shares trading at a premium or discount to NAV.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for these particular ETFs will develop or be maintained. Trading in ETFs may be halted because of market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the listing exchange, make trading in ETFs inadvisable. In addition, trading in ETFs is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing of ETFs will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (2) purchases, sales and income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement from foreign currency transactions are reported in the Statements of Operations for the current period. The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to fluctuations in the market prices of investments.

Inflation-Indexed Securities

Certain Funds may invest in inflation-protected securities either directly or through pooled investment vehicles such as ETFs or mutual funds. Inflation-protected securities, unlike traditional debt securities that make fixed or variable principal and interest payments, are structured to provide protection against the negative effects of inflation. The value of the debt securities’ principal is adjusted to track changes in an official inflation measure. For example, the U.S. Treasury currently uses the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers as a measure of inflation for Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”). Other inflation-protected securities may not carry a similar guarantee by their issuer. A Fund may buy TIPS that are designed to provide an investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually based on the changes in the published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect investors from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and interest payments will be adjusted downward, although the principal will not fall below its face amount at maturity. The Target Date Funds primarily utilize pooled investment vehicles that hold Inflation-Indexed Securities in order to maintain exposure to TIPS.

Master Limited Partnerships

Certain Funds may invest in MLPs. The majority of MLPs operate in the energy and/or natural resources sector. MLPs are generally organized under state law as limited partnerships or limited liability companies. An MLP consists of at least one general partner as well as other additional limited partners (for MLPs structured as limited liability companies, at least one managing member and members, respectively). The general partner or managing member controls the operations and management of the MLP and has an ownership stake in the MLP. The limited partners or members, through their ownership of limited partner or member interests, contribute capital to the entity, have a limited role in the operation and management of the entity, and receive cash distributions.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Commodity-Linked Instruments

Certain Funds may invest in commodities indirectly through pooled investment vehicles such as ETFs or mutual funds. Pooled investment vehicles may hold commodities, commodities-based derivatives or financial instruments where the reference asset is a commodity or commodity index. Such investments in commodities or commodity-linked instruments may expose the pooled investment vehicle to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The prices of commodities can swing sharply in response to cyclical economic conditions, political events or the monetary policies of various countries, potentially causing the value of a Fund’s securities to be more volatile or to decline in value significantly. In addition, political, economic and other conditions in a limited number of commodity-producing countries may have a direct effect on the market value of commodities and the companies that engage in related businesses. Pooled investment vehicles may use commodities-based derivatives that are leveraged and therefore may magnify or otherwise increase investment losses to a Fund.

Foreign Equity Certificates

Certain Funds may invest in foreign equity certificates (“certificates”) which are sometimes also called equity-linked certificates or participation notes and may be issued in various forms such as low exercise price or Rule 144A warrants. When doing so, the Fund purchases the certificates from an issuer, who may or may not hold shares of the underlying stock (“equity security”) in the local market and issues a call note for the underlying equity security. If the Fund exercises its call and closes its position, the shares are sold and the note is redeemed with the proceeds. Each note represents one share of the underlying equity security; therefore, the price, performance and liquidity of the note are all directly linked to the underlying equity security. The notes can be redeemed for the full value of the underlying equity security, less transactional and other costs. Such certificates are typically utilized as a cost-effective means of direct investment into certain markets. In addition to the market risk related to the value of the underlying equity security, the Fund bears additional counterparty risk to the issuer or guarantor of the unsecured notes.

Forward Currency Contracts

Certain Funds may enter into forward currency contracts. These contracts involve an obligation to purchase or sell a specified currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts do not eliminate fluctuations in the values of portfolio securities but rather allow the Funds to establish a rate of exchange for a future point in time. Each contract is valued daily and the change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening value and the closing value of the contract. Such contracts, which may be designed to protect the value of the Fund’s investment securities against an adverse movement in the value of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities; they simply establish an exchange rate at a future date. Although     

 

255


    

 

    

    

 

such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to an adverse movement in the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit the potential gain that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency unexpectedly move opposite to the hedge. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds could be exposed to risk if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of the contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The unrealized gain or loss on open forward currency contracts at May 31, 2016 is included in the respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The change in the unrealized gain or loss on open forward currency contracts and the gain or loss recognized upon the close of forward currency contracts for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 are included in the respective Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Futures Contracts

Certain Funds may invest in futures contracts on among other things, stocks, stock indexes, financial instruments (such as a U.S. government security or other fixed income security), interest rates, currencies, or inflation indexes and in options on futures contracts. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and the purchase by another party of a specified amount of a financial instrument or money at a specified time and price. Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract and are included in the respective Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The daily change in the contract is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. The unrealized gain or loss on open futures contracts at May 31, 2016 is included in the respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The change in the unrealized gain or loss on open futures contracts and the gain or loss recognized upon the close of futures contracts for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 are included in the respective Fund’s Statement of Operations.

There are several risks associated with the use of futures contracts including the risk of loss in excess of the amount recognized in a Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in value of the investments held by the Fund. The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market. Certain Funds, particularly the International Equity and Balanced Allocation Funds, may also use futures to gain cost efficient diversified exposure to a specific country or region.

Equity Index futures may be used by the Equity Funds to maintain market exposure for short-term liquidity within a respective Fund. To accomplish such a strategy, a Fund may purchase an Equity Index future to maintain market exposure in lieu of purchasing individual securities for portions of the Fund that are being held for short-term liquidity or other reasons. Details of futures contracts open as of May 31, 2016 are included in the respective Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Master Agreements and Netting Arrangements

Certain Funds are parties to various agreements, including but not limited to International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) Agreements and a Securities Loan Agreement, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties (collectively “Master Agreements”). These Master Agreements generally include provisions for general obligations, agreements, representations, collateral and certain events of default or termination. These Master Agreements also include provisions for netting arrangements that help reduce credit and counterparty risk associated with relevant transactions. The netting arrangements are generally tied to credit related events that if triggered, would cause an event, default or termination giving a Fund or counterparty the right to terminate early and cause settlement, on a net basis, of all transactions under the applicable Master Agreement. In the event of an early termination or default event, the total market value exposure would be offset against collateral exchanged to date, which would result in a net receivable or payable that would be due from or to the counterparty. Credit related events include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy, failure to make timely payments, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, a material decline in net assets, decline in credit rating or repudiation/moratorium. An election made by a counterparty to terminate a transaction early under a Master Agreement could have an adverse impact on a Fund’s financial statements. Master Agreements can also help limit counterparty risk by specifying collateral posting arrangements at pre-arranged exposure levels. Collateral under the Master Agreements is usually in the form of cash but can include other types of securities. There can be no assurance that the Master Agreements will be successful in limiting credit or counterparty risk.

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees

Fees paid by the Trust pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. (“PNC Group”), are payable monthly and are calculated at an annual rate of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

Target Date Funds

The Adviser and the Target Date Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement pursuant to which each Fund will pay the Adviser a fee equal to the annual rate of 0.40% of that Fund’s average daily net assets that are not invested in (1) other registered investment companies, (2) pooled investment vehicles that charge a fee for advisory services, and (3) exchange-traded notes the contractual returns of which are calculated by reference to the performance of a broad-based securities market index (collectively referred to as “Investment Companies”). The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses for each Fund to the extent the Fund’s other expenses exceed 0.10% , 0.35% and 0.60% for Class I, Class R and Class T Shares, respectively, on an annualized basis, excluding certain expenses such as extraordinary expenses, administrative fees payable to the Adviser, taxes, portfolio transaction and other investment-related costs (including brokerage commissions, dealer and underwriter spreads, commitment fees on leverage facilities, prime broker fees and expenses, interest expense, dividend expenses related to short sales and the operating expenses of each Fund’s underlying investments). This expense limitation agreement will apply until February 28, 2017, at which time the Fund’s Adviser will determine whether to renew, revise or discontinue it, except that it may be terminated by the Board at any time.

The following table lists the contractual advisory fees and expense reimbursements that were in effect during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 for the Target Date Funds.

These waivers and reimbursements, which are presented on an annualized basis in the above table, are the result of the contractual expense limitation agreement which will apply until February 28, 2017, except that it may be terminated by the Board at any time. Each Fund may be obligated to pay the Adviser all amounts previously waived or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the expense limitation agreements. For additional detail, see “Expense Recoupment,” below.

Polaris Capital Management, LLC (“Polaris”), an independent registered investment adviser, serves as sub-adviser to a portion of the managed assets of International Equity Fund. For its services, Polaris is paid a sub-advisory fee by the Adviser based on the portion of assets of International Equity Fund allocated to Polaris as follows: 0.35% of the first $125 million of assets managed, 0.40% of the assets managed between $125 million and $200 million and 0.50% of assets managed in excess of $200 million.

The Adviser may, from time to time, waive any portion of its fees and reimburse certain expenses of a Fund. Such waivers and reimbursements may be voluntary or contractual. The Adviser contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary so that the total annual fund operating expenses of Class I, Class A, Class C, Class R4, Class R5 and Class T Shares of certain Funds do not exceed the percentage of average daily net assets as set forth below:

Expense Recoupment

Each Fund may be obligated to pay the Adviser all amounts previously waived or reimbursed by the Adviser (“recoupment payments”) pursuant to the expense limitation agreements, provided that the amount of such recoupment payments in any year, together with all other expenses of the Fund or Class, in the aggregate, would not cause the Class’ total annual operating expenses to exceed the amounts set forth in the tables above and provided further that no additional payments by the Fund will be made with respect to amounts paid, waived or reimbursed by the Adviser more than three years after the end of the fiscal year in which the Fund accrues a liability or recognizes a contingent liability with respect to such amounts that are paid, waived or reimbursed by the Adviser.

Trustees’ Fees

For his or her service as a Trustee of the Trust and PNC Advantage Funds (“Advantage”), another registered investment company overseen by the Trustees and for which the Adviser serves as investment adviser, each Trustee, effective January 1, 2016, receives an annual fee of $79,000 plus $7,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, and such amount, up to a maximum of $3,250, as may be determined for each special Board meeting attended, in addition to a reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a Trustee. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of $10,000 per year for their services in these capacities. Prior to January 1, 2016, each Trustee received an annual fee of $76,000 plus $7,250 for each Board meeting attended in person, and such amount, up to a maximum of $3,250, as may be determined for each special Board meeting attended, in addition to a reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a Trustee. The Chairman of the Board received an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received an additional fee of $10,000 per year for their services in these capacities. No person who is an officer, director, trustee, or employee of the Adviser, the Underwriter, or any parent or subsidiary thereof, who serves as an officer, trustee, or employee of the Trust or Advantage receives any compensation from the Trust. Fees are paid quarterly in arrears and are allocated to the PNC Funds and PNC Advantage Funds based on their average daily net assets. Trustees who receive fees are eligible for participation in the Trust’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), which is an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan allows each eligible Trustee to defer receipt of all or a percentage of fees that would otherwise be payable for services performed.

Administration Fees

The Trust, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”) and the Adviser are parties to a Co-Administration and Accounting Services Agreement, pursuant to which BNY Mellon and the Adviser serve as Co-Administrators to the Trust. BNY Mellon and the Adviser served as Co-Administrators to the Trust in exchange for fees at the annual rate of 0.05% based on average daily net assets of the Trust’s Funds, excluding the average daily net assets of the Target Date Funds. For their services as Co-Administrators during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, approximately 0.0208% was allocated to BNY Mellon and 0.0292% was allocated to the Advisor in aggregate.

For the Target Date Funds, the Adviser receives fees at an annual rate of 0.01% based on the average daily net assets of the Target Date Funds.

BNY Mellon also receives other transaction-based charges from the Trust and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the Trust.

Affiliated Investments

The Target Date Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing in a portfolio of securities and other instruments, which may exclusively, primarily or otherwise include PNC Funds (the “Underlying Funds”). The Target Date Funds do not invest in the Underlying Funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, investments made by each Target Date Fund within each of its principal investment strategies may represent a significant portion of an Underlying Fund’s net assets. At May 31, 2016, no investments by a Target Date Fund represented a significant portion of the net assets of any of the Underlying Funds.

The common stock of PNC Group, an affiliate of the Adviser to the Trust, is included in the S&P 500® Index. Also included in the S&P 500® Index is BlackRock, Inc., a company in which PNC Group owns a minority interest. Like the other stocks in the S&P 500® Index, S&P 500 Index Fund may invest in the common stocks of PNC Group and BlackRock, Inc. in approximately the same proportions as the percentages those common stocks represent in the S&P 500® Index. iShares securities may be deemed to be affiliated investments through the Adviser’s affiliation with BlackRock, Inc.

For the purposes of these financial statements, dividends received from such investments are reported as “Dividends from affiliated investments” in the Statements of Operations. Gains and/or losses from the sale of affiliated investments are reported as “Net realized gain (loss) on affiliated investments sold” on the Statements of Operations.

Pursuant to SEC rules, the Funds may invest cash balances not otherwise invested in portfolio securities and cash collateral from securities lending programs to purchase shares of the money market funds offered by PNC Funds, Advantage, a separate investment company affiliated with PNC Funds, or BlackRock Funds and other investment companies that could be deemed to be affiliated with the Adviser. The Funds will bear the costs and fees associated with investments in other investment companies, including other investment companies managed by the Adviser or its affiliates, except that the Adviser has agreed to waive its advisory fee in an amount equal to the advisory fees paid to the Adviser by a Fund with respect to a Fund’s short-term reserves swept into Advantage. Certain other contractual and voluntary advisory fee waivers may reduce the Adviser’s obligation to waive its advisory fees in connection with such investments. This waiver does not apply to cash collateral from a Fund’s securities lending program invested in a PNC Advantage money market fund, and the waiver may be terminated at any time without prior notice.

4. Custodian, Distribution/12b-1 Fees and Transfer Agent Fees

Custodian Fees

The Bank of New York Mellon, an affiliate of BNY Mellon (one of the Trust’s Co-Administrators), serves as the Trust’s Custodian. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as Custodian for Advantage. The Custodian fees for the Trust (excluding the Target Date Funds) and Advantage are calculated at the following annual rate: 0.0025% of the first $5 billion of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trust (excluding the Target Date Funds) and Advantage, 0.002% of the next $5 billion of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trust (excluding the Target Date Funds) and Advantage and 0.001% of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trust (excluding the Target Date Funds) and Advantage in excess of $10 billion. The Custodian fees are allocated to the Trust (excluding the Target Date Funds) and Advantage based on each Fund’s relative average daily net assets. The Bank of New York Mellon also receives other transaction-based charges from the Trust and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the Trust.

For the Target Date Funds, The Bank of New York Mellon receives a base fee in addition to other transaction-based charges from the Trust and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses by the Trust.

Distribution/12b-1 Fees

For its services to the Trust, the Underwriter, a wholly owned subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC, receives an annual fee payable directly by the Adviser.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Rule 12b-1”), the Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class A Shares (the “A Shares Plan”), a distribution plan for Class C Shares (the “C Shares Plan”), and a distribution plan for Class T Shares (the “T Shares Plan”), which permit the Funds to bear certain expenses in connection with the distribution of Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Class T Shares, respectively. Payments to the Underwriter under the plans may be used to pay for any eligible distribution or marketing expense or shareholder services, including to reimburse the Adviser for certain up-front payments and/or finder’s fees paid by the Adviser to financial intermediaries in connection with the sale of shares of the Funds.

Pursuant to the A Shares Plan, the Funds reimburse the Underwriter for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount not to exceed 0.10% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class A Shares. The Board renewed a commitment whereby actual distribution fees for Class A Shares will be no more than the Distribution (12b-1) fees stated in the table below for Class A Shares of each Fund. This commitment, which may be terminated by the Board at any time, continues through February 28, 2017, at which time the Board will consider whether to renew, revise or discontinue it.

Pursuant to the C Shares Plan, the Funds compensate the Underwriter for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class C Shares. During low yield environments, a portion of these fees may be voluntarily waived in order to maintain a minimum yield for the Fund class.

The T Shares Plan provides that the Funds may compensate the Underwriter from Class T Share assets for distribution of Class T Shares in an amount not to exceed 0.50% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class T Shares. Under the T Shares Plan, the Funds may incur expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of their shares or associated with the provision of services to shareholders of Class T Shares.

6. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.

Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as an expense during the current year. A tax position that does meet the more-likely-than-not threshold shall be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the relevant taxing authority. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions through the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016 and for each Fund’s open tax years (years ended May 31, 2013 through May 31, 2015), with the exception of the Mid Cap Index Fund and the Small Cap Index Fund which commenced operations on December 30, 2013 and the International Growth Fund which commenced operations on February 29, 2016, and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in each Fund’s financial statements.

The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. GAAP. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature and are attributable primarily to differences in the book/tax treatment of deferred compensation, investments in partnerships, investments in royalty trusts, investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies (“PFICs”), wash sales, market discount, paydowns, foreign currency transactions, futures, foreign currency translation and the expiration of capital loss carryforwards.

The character and timing of dividends and/or distributions made during the year from net investment income and/or net realized capital gains may differ from the year that the income or realized capital gains (losses) were recorded by the Target Date, Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds. To the extent any of these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate components of net assets in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts for the the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016:

  (1)  The amount of this loss which can be utilized in subsequent years is subject to an annual limitation due to the Fund’s merger with its respective PNC Fund on February 1, 2010.

 

  (2)  The amount of this loss which can be utilized in subsequent years is subject to an annual limitation due to the Fund’s merger with the Allegiant Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund on July 24, 2009.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”), net capital losses incurred after May 31, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely with their character retained as short term or long term. Net capital losses incurred prior to May 31, 2011 may be carried forward for eight years and are treated as short term capital losses in the year to which they were carried. However, the Modernization Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses (i.e., those incurred after May 31, 2011) be used before pre-enactment net capital loss carryforwards which increases the likelihood that pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards will expire unused.

8. Certain Principal Risks

An investment in a Fund is subject to a number of risks. Below is a discussion of some, but not all, of the risks of investing in the Funds. Please see the relevant Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of the principal risks of investing in the Fund.

Some countries in which certain of the Target Date, Equity and Fixed Income Funds may invest require government approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities exchanges in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by a Fund may be inhibited.

A significant proportion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by a Fund.

Each Target Date Fund, Balanced Allocation Fund and each Fixed Income Fund may invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Prepayment of these loans may shorten the stated maturity of these respective obligations and may result in a loss.

Each Target Date, Equity, Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of some of these securities may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of such securities in a timely manner and at a fair price. Securities acquired under the provisions of Rule 144A can only be traded between qualified institutional buyers. Any such security will not be considered illiquid so long as it is determined by the Board or the Adviser, acting under guidelines approved and monitored by the Board, that an adequate trading market exists for that security. Details of investments in illiquid and/or restricted securities are included in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Maryland Tax Exempt Bond and Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Funds follow an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond follows an investment policy of investing in municipal obligations of various states which may, at times, comprise concentrations in one or several states. Economic changes affecting each state and related public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by Tax Exempt Bond Funds.

The repayment of certain municipal obligations may be insured by third parties. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by a municipal issuer, insured bonds remain subject to the risk that their market values may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance provider will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Schedules of Investments.

A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in the Tax Exempt Bond Funds.

Certain obligations held in the Funds have credit enhancement or liquidity features that may, under certain circumstances, provide for repayment of principal and interest on the obligation upon demand date, interest rate reset date or final maturity.

9. Securities Lending

To generate additional income, the Target Date Funds, Equity Funds and Fixed Income Funds (the “Lending Funds”) may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agency agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (“BBH”), the securities lending agent. The Lending Funds may lend up to 50% of the securities in which they are invested requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash as collateral equal at all times to at least 102% of the market value plus accrued interest of the domestic securities loaned and 105% of the market value plus accrued interest on the international securities loaned. The Lending Funds continue to earn interest and dividends on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn interest on the investment of collateral. Income earned on the investment of collateral, net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by the securities lending agent, is split between the Lending Funds and the securities lending agent on the basis of agreed upon contractual terms.

There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities, loss of value in the collateral provided by the borrower or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. In addition, the Lending Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BBH. BBH’s indemnity allows for full replacement of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default if the collateral received from the borrower does not cover the value on the securities loaned. If BBH determines that a full replacement of the securities loaned is commercially impracticable, BBH shall, in lieu of effecting a full replacement, pay to the affected Lending Fund(s) an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities determined at the close of business on the date of the default event. Loans are subject to termination by the Lending Funds or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.

10. Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds have not historically incurred material expenses in respect of those provisions.

11. Relevant Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance requiring management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance is effective prospectively for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of these changes on the financial statements.

12. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date that the financial statements were issued. There were no material subsequent events identified which required adjustment to, or additional disclosure in, the financial statements.

Effective July 5, 2016, PNC Small Cap Fund closed to most new investors. Existing investors may continue to buy, redeem, or exchange shares of the Fund through their existing accounts in accordance with the terms of the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

At a meeting held on December 2-3, 2015, the Trustees of PNC Funds (the “Trust”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”)), met in person to consider a proposed Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, in respect of PNC International Growth Fund (the “New Fund”), and PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”).

In connection with that meeting, the Trustees received and reviewed comprehensive written materials prepared by the Adviser regarding the proposed New Fund, including the proposed contractual arrangements. These materials included information regarding the nature of the advisory services proposed to be provided by the Adviser, including the experience of the proposed portfolio management personnel; the performance of the Adviser in managing other similar accounts; the fees and estimated expenses of the New Fund, including proposed expense limitation arrangements; the advisory fees and expense ratios of certain mutual funds with investment objectives and strategies similar to those proposed for the New Fund; other benefits that would inure to the Adviser due to the Adviser’s relationship with the New Fund. The Trustees also considered information the Adviser provided regarding the New Fund’s distribution opportunities, including those that might arise due to distinctions between the New Fund and other similar funds sponsored by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered materials pertaining to a number of other factors, including the Adviser’s estimated profitability with respect to the New Fund during the first five years of the New Fund’s operations and the potential for the Adviser to achieve economies of scale in managing the New Fund beyond the economies of scale reflected in the proposed advisory fees. The Trustees considered information relevant to the Adviser’s services, capabilities and operations that they received in connection with their consideration of the New Fund as well as other information they had received in connection with their duties as Trustees of the other PNC Funds and PNC Advantage Funds, including information regarding the Adviser’s practices with respect to the allocation of brokerage and the potential benefits that may inure to the Adviser as a result.

Throughout their deliberations, the Trustees were advised by their independent counsel. The Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Based on this review, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to act as the investment adviser to the New Fund. Based on their evaluation of all material factors, including those described above, the Trustees concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement were reasonable and fair and that the approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the New Fund.
