Dear Investor:

I am pleased to enclose the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds, formerly known as the MTB Group of Funds (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the new advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (formerly known as MTB Investments Advisors, Inc.), the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period:

The Economy

The U.S. economy continues to show positive growth, but it is a slow rate of growth. The Commerce Department announced its early estimate of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.2% in the first quarter. Momentum is improving, but economic expansion remains mediocre. Since the beginning of the current recovery (third quarter of calendar year 2009), the country has averaged a 2.4% growth rate. This is significantly lower than the 4.5% annual growth rate during the last seven economic recoveries over the past 40 years. Currently, personal consumption accounts for 70% of GDP, and there is a reluctance – or inability – to ramp up spending. Consumers are concerned about the value of their homes and the outlook for jobs. Post-recession employment growth has averaged less than 1% annually since the recession ended in 2009. Jobless recoveries have become the norm. At the same time, worker productivity (output per hour) has increased. These productivity gains allow employers to keep labor costs in check, boosting profitability.

There are pockets of strength in the U.S. economic recovery, and the warm winter may have brought an early spring to the economy. Private sector hiring picked up, but government cutbacks (state and local) held back over-all job growth. April’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% and the economy added 115,000 jobs in the month. While this appears favorable, over 300,000 workers have dropped out of the work force and 41% of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more.

Global concerns remain; including a slower growth in China’s economy, austerity programs in the peripheral Eurozone countries, and a technical recession in the United Kingdom. On this side of the Atlantic, we are seeing some positive contributions from the consumer, exports, and private inventory investments. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has noted an improving economy; however, “not enough to warrant a change in stimulative policies at this time”. They predicted economic growth between 2.4% and 2.9% this year, which is significantly better than the 1.7% last year.

The Bond Markets

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, has been much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Fed responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where it simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank (ECB) initiated its “Long-Term Refinancing Operations” which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system by allowing banks to borrow cash from the ECB at a discounted borrowing rate by depositing longer-term loans with the ECB.

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE  /  April 30, 2012

ii  

Taxable sectors of the bond market such as Agency, Corporate and Mortgage-Backed Securities began 2012 by outperforming Treasuries relatively strongly. As the economy performed well and a stimulative monetary policy was maintained, investor desire for incremental income allowed “spread” sectors to outperform. In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries.

It’s been a good year in fixed income, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal market appeared during the 12 months ending 4/30/2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place during the prior fiscal year. One trend was the increased supply of municipal debt issues where levels had moved into a more traditional range as compared to the previous period’s depressed levels, and the other trend was the increased level of demand for municipal securities compared to the previous period’s sell off of municipal securities.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain Barclays Capital indices performed as follows1:

Index6
 
7.54%     8.89%        5.74%        9.20%        11.36%   

The Stock Markets

The Funds’ fiscal year ended with broad U.S. stock indices modestly higher. The slight net change masks an index drop of nearly 20% and a recovery. The potential effects of a European insolvency in both sovereign credit and banks put a scare into equity markets in August but were alleviated at least temporarily by allowing European banks to move their funding needs out to three years to provide some insurance against a liquidity crisis. While concerns about Europe fluctuated, the economic picture in the U.S. appeared to firm with a marginally better employment picture and confidence improving for both consumers and small businesses. As employment improves, it is expected that the housing market will show signs of stability with the hope of potentially adding to domestic growth at some point in the future.

The S&P 500 jumped 12.6% (including dividends) in the first quarter of 2012 with the unusual feature of having positive returns in each of the three months. One strategist points out that this has happened in only 17 of the past 66 years and there were no down years in those periods. Of course, past performance is no indication of future performance. As we approach mid-year, the market has its eyes on many issues including weakness in the European Union; the elections in the U.S.; a slowdown in China; and, the “fiscal cliff” in the U.S. which refers to a combination of expiring tax cuts, the end of the 2009 stimulus package, automatic spending cuts and new healthcare-related taxes which will be a drag on the economy.

The best performing industries during the fiscal year included computer hardware, auto retailing and homebuilding. The worst performing industries, suggesting a concern about a cyclical slowdown, included tires and rubber, aluminum, coal and consumable fuel.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

S&P 500
Index7
  Dow Jones
Industrial Average8

WILMINGTON BROAD MARKET BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB Income Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 6.54%* for A Shares and 6.90%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, which had a total return of 7.54%, and its peer group, the Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 7.10%.

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, was much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where it simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank initiated the Long-Term Refinancing Operations which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system.

Taxable sectors of the bond market such as Agency, Corporate and Mortgage-Backed Securities began 2012 by outperforming Treasuries relatively strongly. As the economy performed well and a stimulative monetary policy was maintained, investor desire for incremental income allowed “spread” sectors to outperform. In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries. However, for the past fiscal year the Corporate and Mortgage-Backed sectors underperformed the Treasury market as risk premiums widened.

The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

 

    4/30/11     10/31/11     4/30/12  
Federal Fund Target     0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%   
2 Year Treasury Note     0.60%        0.24%        0.26%   
10 Year Treasury Note     3.29%        2.11%        1.91%   

The yield curve has flattened as investors seek to maintain current income. In sum, the bond market performed very strongly over the last twelve months.

The Fund underperformed the benchmark over the last fiscal year. The underperformance can be attributed to the decision to remain overweight the higher-yielding Corporate sector of the bond market. Given that long-term interest rates were providing negative real rates, we allocated more assets to the higher-yielding Corporate sector. However, given the concerns surrounding Europe and the fragility of the economic recovery, the Corporate sector underperformed in 2011 and for the fiscal year. The decision to remain underweight the Mortgage-Backed sector of the market versus the benchmark aided performance as the Mortgage-Backed sector underperformed as investors required higher risk premiums to compensate for increased prepayment risk associated with historically low mortgage rates.

Our duration and yield curve management strategies also aided performance during the fiscal year. For example, we maintained a longer duration than the benchmark as interest rates declined during last summer in response to the Fed decision to maintain the accommodative policy into mid- 2013.

Looking forward we will continue to utilize our disciplined active relative value investment process.

WILMINGTON INTERMEDIATE-TERM BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB Intermediate-Term Bond Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 4.96%* for A Shares, 4.28%* for C Shares, and 5.33%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 5.86% and its peer group, the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 4.17%.

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, was much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where they simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank initiated the Long-Term Refinancing Operations which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system.

In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries. However, for the past fiscal year the Corporate and Mortgage-Backed sectors underperformed the Treasury market as risk premiums widened.

The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

 

    4/30/11     10/31/11     4/30/12  
Federal Fund Target     0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%   
2 Year Treasury Note     0.60%        0.24%        0.26%   
10 Year Treasury Note     3.29%        2.11%        1.91%   

The yield curve has flattened as investors seek to maintain current income. In sum, the bond market performed very strongly over the last twelve months.

The Fund had a shorter average maturity than its benchmark which detracted from performance. In addition, the Fund was underweight Treasuries and overweight Corporate securities relative to the benchmark. This hurt the Fund’s relative performance as Treasuries outperformed Corporate securities. Performance was also hampered in the first quarter of 2012 as large U.S. and U.S. dollar-denominated European banks and broker dealers significantly outperformed the overall credit portion of the benchmark. Earlier in the fiscal year the Fund reduced its exposure to this more risky sector of the market.

WILMINGTON SHORT-TERM CORPORATE BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 1.48%* for A Shares, 0.71%* for C Shares, and 1.74%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 1.48%, and its peer group, the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 1.72%.

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, was much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where they simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank initiated the Long-Term Refinancing Operations which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system.

Taxable sectors of the bond market such as Agency, Corporate and Mortgage-Backed Securities began 2012 by outperforming Treasuries relatively strongly. As the economy performed well and a stimulative monetary policy was maintained, investor desire for incremental income allowed “spread” sectors to outperform. In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries. However, for the past fiscal year the Corporate and Mortgage-Backed sectors underperformed the Treasury market as risk premiums widened.

The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

 

    4/30/11     10/31/11     4/30/12  
Federal Fund Target     0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%        0.00% - 0.25%   
2 Year Treasury Note     0.60%        0.24%        0.26%   
10 Year Treasury Note     3.29%        2.11%        1.91%   

The yield curve has flattened as investors seek to maintain current income. In sum, the bond market performed very strongly over the last twelve months.

The Fund had a shorter average maturity than its benchmark which detracted slightly from performance. In addition, relative performance was also hampered over the first quarter of 2012 as large U.S. and U.S. dollar-denominated European banks and broker dealers significantly outperformed the overall credit portion of the benchmark. Earlier in the year the Fund reduced its exposure to this more risky sector of the market. However, the Fund’s corporate exposure caused it to outperform the benchmark over the last 12 months.

WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

(formerly a series of WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 8.18%* for A Shares and 8.33%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, which had a total return of 7.84%, and its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 7.08%.

It was a good year in fixed income securities, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal bond market appeared during the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place in the prior period. One trend had to do with the supply of municipal debt issues and the other had to do with the demand for those issues.

Regarding the supply of new issues, you need to return to the fourth quarter of 2010 to gather perspective on the dramatic decline during the calendar year 2011. The ability for states and municipalities to issue taxable “Build America Bonds” (“BABs”) was expiring at year end 2010. For municipalities, BABs were viewed as a viable alternative to issuing traditional tax-exempt bonds—particularly at the 35% reimbursement rate that they would receive back from the Federal government on the interest paid out. This “sunset” provision drove supply in the fourth quarter of 2010 much higher—in essence, taking the supply of Municipal Bonds away from the first and second quarters of 2011. Slowly, over the course of 2011, the new issue calendar began to build back up—not to the elevated 2010 levels, but more of a traditional pattern. By the first quarter of 2012, the supply could be described as moderate, not the drought like conditions of 2011 and not near record-breaking pace of 2010. We consider the return to a normal pattern to be positive for the market—often times a market without sufficient supply lacks direction and a market that is swamped in new issues struggles to efficiently place all the new bonds.

Much like the discussion of supply, the patterns of demand for municipal bonds begins with a consideration of the environment immediately prior to our 10-month reporting period. Sparked by the negative prognostications of municipal credit during the last few months of 2010, investors—particularly mutual fund investors—retreated and exited the tax-exempt market. As reported by the Investment Company Institute, flows into and out of long-term municipal bond funds for the first eight months of 2011 netted an outflow of $23 billion. Despite a turnaround in the final quarter, tax-exempt bond funds lost $12 billion in assets over the course of the calendar year 2011. The trend established at the end of 2011 has carried over into 2012 and the fund flows have been positive, some weeks very strong and some weeks almost none existent, but overall, the pattern is positive.

These two trends helped the municipal market generate some of the positive performance experienced over the last 10 months. With a couple of bumps along the way, municipal yields fell during the year. In fact, looking at the yields on 10-year high grade tax-exempt bonds, the high mark was the very beginning of the reporting period (April 29, 2011) with a 2.85% yield, as measured by the MMD1 AAA-rated scale. Municipal yields hit their low point in the middle

of January 2012, with the 10-year touching 1.67%. From there rates were somewhat flat in February, ticked up in March and came right back down in April, ending the fiscal year at 1.87%. As you might expect in a falling rate environment, each extension out the maturity curve added to the overall total return. As measured by the components of the Barclays Capital Municipal Bond Index**, the 3-, 5-, 10-Year, and Long segments of the Index produced total returns for the year ending April 30, 2012 of 3.24%, 6.39%, 11.46%, and 18.57%, respectively.

Another trend worth noting was the reach for yield during the fiscal year. Two ways of reaching for yield are by extending out the curve and extending down in credit quality. From both perspectives, we can measurably see the impact of this reach. The slope of the yield curve measures the difference between yields at 2 different maturities. On April 29, 2011, the yield differential between 2- and 10-year high grade bonds (again as measured by the MMD AAA-rated scale) was 2.29%—in other words, investors were getting compensated with an additional 2.29% in yield for extending their maturity from 2 to 10-years. By the end of the fiscal year, that additional yield compensation had narrowed to 1.56%. Likewise, there is a yield spread between high-grade bonds and lower-rated investment grade securities. Comparing the yields of similar maturity bonds (i.e., 10-year terms), but with different ratings (AAA vs. BBB), we can see that during the year the differential in yield between these also narrowed—beginning the year at a 1.99% yield spread and ending the year with a 1.87% yield spread. Just as investors were reaching out the curve and driving down the slope, they reached down in credit and narrowed the spread between AAA and BBB rated bonds.

The Fund outperformed both its benchmark and its Lipper peer group. The Fund’s performance reflected the market trends discussed above. The longest bonds in the Fund generated the best total returns for the 10-month period. The Fund was slightly overweight bonds with durations exceeding 6 years (43.3% exposure versus 41.3% for the Index), which contributed positively to performance relative to the benchmark. Another positive influence on relative returns was the Fund’s sector positioning. The Fund was overweight Healthcare (10.8% vs. 5.8%) when healthcare revenue bonds outperformed and was underweight Pre-refunded bonds (2.4% vs. 4.7%) when Pre-refunded bonds underperformed. Detracting slightly was the Fund’s credit positioning—being underweight A-rated and lower rated securities (26% to 39% for the Index) in a market where credit spreads compressed.

WILMINGTON MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB Maryland Municipal Bond Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 7.71%* for A Shares and 7.89%* for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index** and Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index**, which had total returns of 9.34% and 11.46%, respectively. The Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, had a total return of 7.93%.

It was a good year in fixed income securities, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal bond market appeared during the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place in the prior period. One trend had to do with the supply of municipal debt issues and the other had to do with the demand for those issues.

Regarding the supply of new issues, you need to return to the fourth quarter of 2010 to gather perspective on the dramatic decline during the calendar year 2011. The ability for states and municipalities to issue taxable “Build America Bonds” (“BABs”) was expiring at year end 2010. For municipalities, BABs were viewed as a viable alternative to issuing traditional tax-exempt bonds—particularly at the 35% reimbursement rate that they would receive back from the Federal government on the interest paid out. This “sunset” provision drove supply in the fourth quarter of 2010 much higher—in essence, taking the supply of Municipal Bonds away from the first and second quarters of 2011. Slowly, over the course of 2011, the new issue calendar began to build back up—not to the elevated 2010 levels, but more of a traditional pattern. By the first quarter of 2012, the supply could be described as moderate, not the drought like conditions of 2011 and not the near record-breaking pace of 2010. We consider the return to a normal pattern to be positive for the market—often times a market without sufficient supply lacks direction and a marketthat is swamped in new issues struggles to efficiently place all the new bonds.

Much like the discussion of supply, the patterns of demand for municipal bonds begins with a consideration of the environment immediately prior to our 12-month reporting period. Sparked by the negative prognostications of municipal credit during the last few months of 2010, investors—particularly mutual fund investors—retreated and exited the tax-exempt market. As reported by the Investment Company Institute, flows into and out of long-term municipal bond funds for the first eight months of 2011 netted an outflow of $23 billion. Despite a turnaround in the final quarter, tax-exempt bond funds lost $12 billion in assets over the course of the calendar year 2011. The trend established at the end of 2011 has carried over into 2012 and the fund flows have been positive, some weeks very strong and some weeks almost none existent, but overall, the pattern is positive.

These two trends helped the municipal market generate some of the positive performance experienced over the last 12 months. With a couple of bumps along the way, municipal yields fell during the year. In fact, looking at the yields on 10-year high grade tax-exempt bonds, the high mark was the very beginning of the reporting period

(April 29, 2011) with a 2.85% yield, as measured by the MMD1 AAA-rated scale. Municipal yields hit their low point in the middle of January 2012, with the 10-year touching 1.67%. From there rates were somewhat flat in February, ticked up in March and came right back down in April, ending the fiscal year at 1.87%. As you might expect in a falling rate environment, each extension out the maturity curve added to the overall total return. As measured by the components of the Barclays Capital Municipal Index, the 3-, 5-, 10-Year, and Long segments of the Index produced total returns for the year ending April 30, 2012 of 3.24%, 6.39%, 11.46%, and 18.57%, respectively.

Another trend worth noting was the reach for yield during the fiscal year. Two ways of reaching for yield are by extending out the curve and extending down in credit quality. From both perspectives, we can measurably see the impact of this reach. The slope of the yield curve measures the difference between yields at 2 different maturities. On April 29, 2011, the yield differential between 2 and 10-year high grade bonds (again as measured by the MMD AAA-rated scale) was 2.29%—in other words, investors were getting compensated with an additional 2.29% in yield for extending their maturity from 2 to 10-years. By the end of the fiscal year, that additional yield compensation had narrowed to 1.56%. Likewise, there is a yield spread between high-grade bonds and lower-rated investment grade securities. Comparing the yields of similar maturity bonds (i.e., 10-year terms), but with different ratings (AAA vs. BBB), we can see that during the year the differential in yield between these also narrowed—beginning the year at a 1.99% yield spread and ending the year with a 1.87% yield spread. Just as investors were reaching out the curve and driving down the slope, they reached down in credit and narrowed the spread between AAA and BBB rated bonds.

The Fund’s performance reflected these trends in the market. While the Fund is managed to an intermediate maturity and duration, that goal is achieved by using a barbell approach, with heavy weightings of both long and short bonds. As one might expect, the shorter bonds in the portfolio were among the weakest relative performers and the long bonds were the best performers. Ironically, these best and worst sectors, as measured by their term to maturity, were exaggerated by their credit ratings. While not universally true, many of the Fund’s short bonds were high rated—such as AAA bonds secured by escrowed U.S. Treasury securities—and hence were not advantaged by the reach for yield down the credit spectrum. Many of the long positions in the Fund were A-rated or below, positioning them to perform well not just because of their longer term to maturity, but also from the tightening of yield spreads. Overall, the Fund’s performance reflected its intermediate positioning—right in between the Barclays Capital Municipal 5 and 10-year Indices and very close the average for its Lipper peer group.

WILMINGTON NEW YORK MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB New York Municipal Bond Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 7.96%* for A Shares and 8.33%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital New York Tax-Exempt Index**, which had a total return of 10.08%, and its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 8.08%.

It was a good year in fixed income securities, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal bond market appeared during the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place in the prior period. One trend had to do with the supply of municipal debt issues and the other had to do with the demand for those issues.

Slowly, over the course of 2011, the new issue calendar began to build back up—not to the elevated 2010 levels, but more of a traditional pattern. By the first quarter of 2012, the supply could be described as moderate, not the drought like conditions of 2011 and not the near record-breaking pace of 2010. We consider the return to a normal pattern to be positive for the market—often times a market without sufficient supply lacks direction and a market that is swamped in new issues struggles to efficiently place all the new bonds.

Much like the discussion of supply, the patterns of demand for municipal bonds begins with a consideration of the environment immediately prior to our 12-month reporting period. Sparked by the negative prognostications of municipal credit during the last few months of 2010, investors—particularly mutual fund investors—retreated and exited the tax-exempt market. As reported by the Investment Company Institute, flows into and out of long-term municipal bond funds for the first eight months of 2011 netted an outflow of $23 billion.

The trend established at the end of 2011 has carried over into 2012 and the fund flows have been positive, some weeks very strong and some weeks almost none existent, but overall, the pattern is positive.

These two trends helped the municipal market generate some of the positive performance experienced over the last 12 months.

In fact, looking at the yields on 10-year high grade tax-exempt bonds, the high mark was the very beginning of the reporting period (April 29, 2011) with a 2.85% yield, as measured by the MMD1

AAA- rated scale. Municipal yields hit their low point in the middle of January 2012, with the 10-year touching 1.67%. From there rates were somewhat flat in February, ticked up in March and came right back down in April, ending the fiscal year at 1.87%. As you might expect in a falling rate environment, each extension out the maturity curve added to the overall total return. As measured by the components of the Barclays Capital Municipal Index**, the 3-, 5-, 10-Year, and Long segments of the Index produced total returns for the year ending April 30, 2012 of 3.24%, 6.39%, 11.46%, and 18.57%, respectively.

Another trend worth noting was the reach for yield during the fiscal year. Two ways of reaching for yield are by extending out the curve and extending down in credit quality. From both perspectives, we can measurably see the impact of this reach. The slope of the yield curve measures the difference between yields at 2 different maturities.

Comparing the yields of similar maturity bonds (i.e., 10-year terms), but with different ratings (AAA vs. BBB), we can see that during the year the differential in yield between these also narrowed—beginning the year at a 1.99% yield spread and ending the year with a 1.87% yield spread.

While not universally true, many of our short bonds were high rated—such as AAA bonds secured by escrowed U.S. Treasury securities—and hence were not advantaged by the reach for yield down the credit spectrum. Many of the long positions in the Fund were A-rated or below, positioning them to perform well not just because of their longer term to maturity, but also from the tightening of yield spreads. Overall, the Fund’s performance reflected its intermediate positioning—right in between the Barclays Capital Municipal 5 and 10-year Indices and it outperformed the average for its Lipper peer group. The Fund trailed its Barclays Capital benchmark as that benchmark represents all New York issues across the curve, including long bonds. While the Fund’s average duration is close to 5 years (representative of its intermediate-term mandate), the average duration of the benchmark is over 7 years—reflecting the exposure to longer bonds.

WILMINGTON PENNSYLVANIA MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

(formerly known as MTB Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 8.19% for A Shares and 8.57% for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index** and the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index**, which had total returns of 9.34% and 11.46%, respectively. The Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, had a total return of 7.93%.

It was a good year in fixed income securities, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal bond market appeared during the 12 months ended April 30, 2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place in the prior period. One trend had to do with the supply of municipal debt issues and the other had to do with the demand for those issues.

Regarding the supply of new issues, you need to return to the fourth quarter of 2010 to gather perspective on the dramatic decline during the calendar year 2011. The ability for states and municipalities to issue taxable “Build America Bonds” (“BABs”) was expiring at year end 2010. For municipalities, BABs were viewed as a viable alternative to issuing traditional tax-exempt bonds—particularly at the 35% reimbursement rate that they would receive back from the Federal government on the interest paid out. This “sunset” provision drove supply in the fourth quarter of 2010 much higher—in essence, taking the supply of Municipal Bonds away from the first and second quarters of 2011. Slowly, over the course of 2011, the new issue calendar began to build back up—not to the elevated 2010 levels, but more of a traditional pattern. By the first quarter of 2012, the supply could be described as moderate, not the drought like conditions of 2011 and not the near record-breaking pace of 2010. We consider the return to a normal pattern to be positive for the market—often times a market without sufficient supply lacks direction and a market that is swamped in new issues struggles to efficiently place all the new bonds.

Much like the discussion of supply, the patterns of demand for municipal bonds begins with a consideration of the environment immediately prior to our 12-month reporting period. Sparked by the negative prognostications of municipal credit during the last few months of 2010, investors—particularly mutual fund investors—retreated and exited the tax-exempt market. As reported by the Investment Company Institute, flows into and out of long-term municipal bond funds for the first eight months of 2011 netted an outflow of $23 billion. Despite a turnaround in the final quarter, tax-exempt bond funds lost $12 billion in assets over the course of the calendar year 2011. The trend established at the end of 2011 has carried over into 2012 and the fund flows have been positive, some weeks very strong and some weeks almost none existent, but overall, the pattern is positive.

These two trends helped the municipal market generate some of the positive performance experienced over the last 12 months. With a couple of bumps along the way, municipal yields fell during the

year. In fact, looking at the yields on 10-year high grade tax-exempt bonds, the high mark was the very beginning of the reporting period (April 29, 2011) with a 2.85% yield, as measured by the MMD1 AAA-rated scale. Municipal yields hit their low point in the middle of January 2012, with the 10-year touching 1.67%. From there rates were somewhat flat in February, ticked up in March and came right back down in April, ending the fiscal year at 1.87%. As you might expect in a falling rate environment, each extension out the maturity curve added to the overall total return. As measured by the components of the Barclays Capital Municipal Index**, the 3-, 5-, 10-Year, and Long segments of the Index produced total returns for the year ending April 30, 2012 of 3.24%, 6.39%, 11.46%, and 18.57%, respectively.

Another trend worth noting was the reach for yield during the fiscal year. Two ways of reaching for yield are by extending out the curve and extending down in credit quality. From both perspectives, we can measurably see the impact of this reach. The slope of the yield curve measures the difference between yields at 2 different maturities. On April 29, 2011, the yield differential between 2 and 10-year high grade bonds (again as measured by the MMD AAA-rated scale) was 2.29%—in other words, investors were getting compensated with an additional 2.29% in yield for extending their maturity from 2 to 10-years. By the end of the fiscal year, that additional yield compensation had narrowed to 1.56%. Likewise, there is a yield spread between high-grade bonds and lower-rated investment grade securities. Comparing the yields of similar maturity bonds (i.e., 10-year terms), but with different ratings (AAA vs. BBB), we can see that during the year the differential in yield between these also narrowed—beginning the year at a 1.99% yield spread and ending the year with a 1.87% yield spread. Just as investors were reaching out the curve and driving down the slope, they reached down in credit and narrowed the spread between AAA and BBB rated bonds.

The Fund’s performance reflected these trends in the market. While the Fund is managed to an intermediate maturity and duration, that goal is achieved by using a barbell approach, with heavy weightings of both long and short bonds. As one might expect, the shorter bonds in the portfolio were among the weakest relative performers and the long bonds were the best performers. Ironically, these best and worst sectors, as measured by their term to maturity, were exaggerated by their credit ratings. While not universally true, many of our short bonds were high rated—such as AAA bonds secured by escrowed U.S. Treasury securities—and hence were not advantaged by the reach for yield down the credit spectrum. Many of the long positions in the Fund were A-rated or below, positioning them to perform well not just because of their longer term to maturity, but also from the tightening of yield spreads. Overall, the Fund’s performance reflected its intermediate positioning—right in between the Barclays Capital Municipal 5- and 10-year Indices and it outperformed the average for its Lipper peer group.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) generated a positive total return of 7.22%* for A Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital 7-Year Municipal Bond Index** and the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index**, which had total returns of 9.34% and 11.46%, respectively.

WILMINGTON MONEY MARKET FUNDS

(formerly known as the MTB Money Market Funds)

 

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, has been much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where it simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank initiated the Long-Term Refinancing Operations which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of their banking system.

While liquidity issues have been temporarily addressed, the underlying problems facing Europe have not been resolved. The rise in the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) noted below is reflective of European credit concerns. The Wilmington Funds have and will continue to maintain a conservative posture toward European exposures for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, with the Fed planning to maintain its zero interest rate policy, the result will be continued low returns for money market investors during the coming year.

The change in key interest rates over the last twelve months is presented below.

     Performance shown represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return will fluctuate. The total return shown assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions. Shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. A prospectus with this and other information may be obtained by calling 800-836-2211 or visiting the Funds’ web site at www.wilmingtonfunds.com. The prospectus should be read before investing.

 

     The Funds’ shares are not bank deposits and are not insured by, guaranteed by, endorsed by or obligations of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, any government agency or any bank. Although the Funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Funds.

 

     During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the Funds’ current investment adviser, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the Funds’ previous investment adviser, voluntarily agreed to reduce their advisory fees and/or reimburse certain of the Funds’ operating expenses, or certain "class-specific fees and expenses" to prevent the Funds’ (or a class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below 0.01% (1 basis point) annually. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be discontinued at any time.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $170,675,592. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $4,536,795. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $5,644,499 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $1,107,704.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2012 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (concluded)

 

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $142,134,591. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $7,389,008. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $7,405,678 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $16,670.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     129   

Class A Shares, Class C Shares, and Institutional I Shares were renamed A Shares, C Shares, and I Shares, respectively for all other series in the Trust.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

Money Market Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

 

   

investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

   

for fixed income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose significant transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2012, there were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedure noted previously, fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04, which includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Inflation/deflation adjustments on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds, except Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized gains and losses, and

ANNUAL REPORT  /  April 30, 2012

130   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distribution rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Accretion and Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions – The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

The Funds may transact in “To Be Announced Securities” (“TBAs”). As with other delayed delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue TBAs at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered. Instead, the Funds agree to accept any security that meets specified criteria. For example, in a TBA mortgage transaction, the Fund and seller would agree upon the issuer, interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. The Funds record TBAs on the trade date utilizing information associated with the specified terms of the transaction as opposed to the specific mortgages. TBAs are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur due to the fact that the actual underlying mortgages received may be less favorable than those anticipated by the Funds.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the net realized and unrealized

gain or loss on investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of FCs, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Dollar Roll Transactions – The Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Intermediate-Term Bond Fund and Broad Market Bond Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, with respect to mortgage securities issued by GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC, in which the Funds sell mortgage securities to financial institutions and simultaneously agree to accept substantially similar (same type, coupon, maturity) securities at a later date at an agreed upon price. Dollar roll transactions, which are treated as purchases and sales, will not exceed 12 months. There were no dollar roll transactions outstanding during the year ended April 30, 2012.

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”

As of April 30, 2012, the Funds listed below had securities with the following values on loan:

The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.

3.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for income recognition on expiration of capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, partnership adjustments, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities and distributions recognition on income distribution payable.

 

 

As of April 30, 2012, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the period ended April 30, 2012, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

At April 30, 2012, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

WFMC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or reimburse each of the Money Market Fund’s operating expenses, or certain “class-specific fees and expenses” to prevent the Fund’s (or class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below 0.01% (1 basis point) annually. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be discontinued at any time.

6.   CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since Municipal Bond Fund, New York Municipal Bond Fund, Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and Virginia Municipal Bond Fund invest a substantial portion of their assets in issuers located in one state, they will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers of that state than would be a comparable tax-exempt mutual fund that invests nationally. In order to reduce the credit risk associated with such factors, at April 30, 2012, 39.7% for Municipal Bond Fund, 20.4% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, 43.5% for New York Municipal Bond Fund, 37.6% for Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and 36.4% for Virginia Municipal Bond Fund of the total market value of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by letters of credit or bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The largest percentage of the total market value of investments insured by or supported (backed) by a letter of

credit from any one institution or agency was 12.3% for Municipal Bond Fund, 9.3% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, 13.6% for New York Municipal Bond Fund, 14.5% for Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and 14.8% for Virginia Municipal Bond Fund.

 

7.   LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNY Mellon. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNY Mellon. The termination date of this LOC is February 8, 2012 however this was extended to March 11, 2013. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2012.

 

8.   REORGANIZATION

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund, Wilmington Short/Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, and Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, each a series of WT Mutual Fund, and the MTB Prime Money Market Fund, MTB Pennsylvania Tax-Free Money Market Fund, MTB New York Tax-Free Money Market Fund, and MTB U.S. Government Bond Fund, each a series of the Trust (the “Acquired Funds”) in exchange for shares of the series of the Trust shown below (the “Acquiring Funds”).

The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the Acquired Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective Acquired Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

In exchange for their shares, shareholders of the Acquired Funds received shares of the Acquiring Funds with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The following information summarizes the essential elements of the Reorganization as of March 9, 2012:

The net assets of the Acquired Fund included net unrealized appreciation on investments of $5,205,025 and accumulated net realized gains of $2,566.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring Fund for the period prior to the Reorganization and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the Reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed. Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment income, net gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $9,552,266, $8,006,754 and $18,927,561

The net assets of the Acquired Fund included net unrealized appreciation on investments of $9,114,247 and accumulated net realized gains of $8,512.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring Fund for the period prior to the Reorganization and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the Reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed. Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment loss, net gain on investments and net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $6,687,727, $6,514,938 and $13,202,666

The net assets of the Acquired Fund included accumulated net realized losses of $261.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring Fund for the period prior to the Reorganization and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the Reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed.

The financial statements of the Fund reflect the operations of the Acquiring Fund for the period prior to the Reorganization and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the Reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed. Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2011, the pro forma net investment income, net gain on investments and net increase in net assets from operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 would have been $53,382, $77 and $53,459, respectively.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Municipal Bond Fund received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (A Shares and I Shares) of the Municipal Bond Fund, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Municipal Bond Fund had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. The Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund investment objectives, policies and limitations were identical to those of the Municipal Bond Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Municipal Bond Fund prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

9.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts have been reclassified for the Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the year ended April 30, 2011. Net investment income was decreased by $276,743 and net realized gain (loss) on investments and change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was increased by $99,255 and $177,488, respectively. The adjustments were made due to prior period amortization and paydown reclasses. The reclassifications have no impact to the Fund’s net asset value.

 

10.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that the following event requires disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

At a meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust held on June 22, 2012, the Board determined that a proposed merger of the Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and the Virginia Municipal Bond Fund (the “Target Funds”) into the Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) would be in the best interests of the Target Funds and their shareholders. Subject to shareholder approval, on or about the close of business on November 30, 2012, the Target Funds will be merged into the Acquiring Fund. The Board also approved Plans of Reorganization (the “Plans”) for the mergers. The proposed Plans contemplate that the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the assets of the Target Funds and assume the liabilities of the Target Funds (as set forth in the Plans) in exchange for designated shares in the Acquiring Fund, which the Target Funds will distribute to their shareholders, in exchange for their respective Target Fund shares.

Effective as of the close of business on September 7, 2012, the Target Funds will be closed to new investors, but may continue to accept purchases from existing shareholders (including through the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains) until the last business day before the merger.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (thirteen of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of April 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. 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 the Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund at April 30, 2012, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on Behalf of Each Fund

At in-person meetings held on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board, including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and WFMC (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”). At the same meetings, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, also approved a sub-advisory agreement among the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, WFMC and WTIA (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the “New Agreements”).

The New Agreements relate to each of: the Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the “Group A Funds”); the Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund, and Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Group B Funds”); and the Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (the “Alternatives Fund,” and, collectively with the Group A Funds and the Group B Funds, the “Funds”). Each Group A Fund has been a series of the Trust for a number of years, and on or about March 12, 2012, certain of the Group A Funds acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The shareholders of each Group A Fund as of January 6, 2012, approved the New Agreements. The Board established the Group B Funds at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and on or about March 12, 2012, each Group B Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The Board established the Alternatives Fund at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and the Alternatives Fund commenced operations on or about January 14, 2012.

Before considering the New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board requested and reviewed information relating to the New Agreements, which was provided by WFMC and WTIA. That information addressed, among other things: (i) the services to be performed; (ii) the size and qualifications of WFMC and WTIA’s portfolio management staff; (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with WFMC and WTIA’s management of the Funds; (iv) how the Funds would be managed by WFMC and WTIA, including a general description of the investment decision making processes, sources of information and investment strategies; (v) investment performance information; (vi) results of independent audit and regulatory examinations, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted; (vii) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on WFMC or WTIA’s ability to service the Funds; and (viii) WFMC and WTIA’s internal program for ensuring compliance with applicable investment objectives, policies and practices of the Funds, and the federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. WFMC and WTIA provided written responses to the Board’s request for information, and also provided oral responses during the in-person meetings. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel regarding the legal standards applicable to their review of the New Agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with independent legal counsel in executive session with respect to their review of the New Agreements and certain other considerations relevant to their deliberations on whether to approve the New Agreements.

At the meetings on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board determined that WFMC and WTIA had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide satisfactory advisory services to each Fund, and that the advisory fees paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable fee limitations and breakpoints, represent reasonable compensation to WFMC and WTIA. In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees gave attention to all information furnished, including information provided throughout the prior year by WTIA (formerly known as MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.) as investment advisor to the Group A Funds. The Trustees also noted that WFMC and WTIA are under the common control of M&T Bank Corporation, and that the officers and employees of WFMC overlap with the officers and employees of WTIA.

In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees considered various factors, as described below, that they believed to be relevant in evaluating the New Agreements. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that the New Agreements are substantially similar to the Trust’s previous investment advisory agreements with WTIA, which were approved for renewal at an in-person meeting held on September 14-15, 2011. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees therefore considered the many reports furnished to them during the year at regular Board meetings covering matters such as: the relative performance of the Group A Funds; compliance with the investment objectives, policies, strategies and limitations of the Group A Funds; and the compliance of management personnel with the numerous operational and compliance policies and procedures that were established by the Board. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees also considered WFMC and WTIA’s personnel who possess the experience to provide investment management services to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund employ a multi-manager approach

    145   

through which the Funds rely on two or more sub-advisors to manage a portion of each Fund’s assets under the ongoing supervision of WFMC and WTIA. In the case of the Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund, which were established at the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees focused on the prior experience of WFMC and WTIA in overseeing the investment activities of sub-advisors that are not affiliated with WFMC and WTIA.

Based on the information provided by WFMC and WTIA, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by WFMC and WTIA supported the approval of the New Agreements.

Investment Performance. The Board considered the overall investment performance of WFMC, WTIA and the Group A and Group B Funds, as well as the funds of the WT Mutual Fund for which WFMC previously served as investment advisor. Although the Trustees gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Trustees also gave weight to their review of investment performance in connection with the approval of the New Agreements at the Board meetings held October 26 and December 9, 2011. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA, which showed each Group A Fund’s investment performance in comparison with its applicable peer group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods, as well as information about each Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark. With respect to the Group B Funds, the Trustees considered similar information about the performance of each series of the WT Mutual Fund that was merged into a corresponding Group B Fund. With respect to the Alternatives Fund, the Trustees considered hypothetical, pro-forma performance information for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance information provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Comparative Expenses. WFMC and WTIA represented to the Board that the aggregate contractual investment advisory fees for each Group A Fund would be the same as that previously charged to the Funds by WTIA. At its meeting on September 14-15, 2011, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Group A Fund based upon, among other things, comparative information about the net advisory fee ratios and total expense ratios (after deduction for advisory fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of each Fund versus those of a group of funds selected as being similar to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA which showed each Group B Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by WFMC which showed Alternatives Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. In that regard, the Trustees noted the unique nature of the Alternatives Fund, which uses multiple sub-advisors employing alternative investment strategies, as well as WFMC and WTIA’s contractual commitment to waive certain fees and reimburse expenses for the Fund.

At the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees to be paid to and the services to be provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Management Profitability. The Trustees also considered the profitability of the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA, noting the significant decreases in profitability for the Group A Funds over the last few years. The Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues received by affiliates of WFMC and WTIA. Based on the information provided, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to WFMC and WTIA with respect to the Funds supported approval of the New Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as each Fund grows, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered WFMC and WTIA’s assessments that under the current market conditions and based on the asset sizes of the Funds, and the existence of certain voluntary and contractual fee waivers, economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the investment advisory fees of the Funds.

Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the “fall-out” or ancillary benefits resulting from the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA. In that regard, the Board considered the fees received by WFMC and WTIA and their affiliates for providing other services to the Funds under separate agreements. With respect to any soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that in selecting brokers, WFMC and WTIA must seek to obtain best execution of fund trades.

Conclusion. After consideration of all the factors, taking into consideration the information presented at the meetings and deliberating in executive session with independent legal counsel outside of the presence of management personnel, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Agreements. The Board based its decision on the totality of the circumstances, including the factors identified above, and with a view to past and long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified were relevant to each Fund, nor did the Board find any one of them to be determinative.

Sub-Advisory Agreements on Behalf of the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (the “International Fund”), the Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (the “Real Asset Fund”) and the Alternatives Fund

At in-person meetings held on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved investment sub-advisory agreements among the Trust, WFMC and each of the following sub-advisors: (i) on behalf the International Fund, Acadian Asset Management, LLC; Dimensional Fund Advisors LP; Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.; Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC; and Principal Global Investors LLC; (ii) on behalf of the Real Asset Fund, CBRE Clarion Securities LLC, EII Realty Securities, Inc.; Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC; and HSBC Global Asset Management (France); and (iii) on behalf of the Alternatives Fund, Acuity Capital Management, LLC; ADAR Investment Management, LLC; Calypso Capital Management, LP; Evercore Wealth Management, LLC; Madison Street Partners, LLC; Parametric Risk Advisors, LLC; Rock Maple Services, LLC (“Rock Maple”); TIG Advisors, LLC; Water Island Capital, LLC; and Whitebox Advisors LLC. Together, the International Fund, Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund are referred to as the

“Sub-Advised Funds.” The Sub-Advised Funds’ agreements with the sub-advisors listed above are referred to as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements.”

Before meeting to determine whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board had the opportunity to review written materials provided by each of the sub-advisors and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, which contained information to help the Board evaluate the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The materials generally included information regarding, among other things: (i) services performed or to be performed; (ii) the size and qualifications of each sub-advisor’s portfolio management staff; (iii) any potential or actual conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with a sub-advisor’s management of the relevant Fund; (iv) investment performance information; (v) results of any independent audit or regulatory examinations, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted; (vi) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on any sub-advisor’s ability to service the relevant Fund; and (vii) the sub-advisor’s internal program for ensuring compliance with applicable investment objectives, policies and practices, the federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the recommendations of management with respect to each sub-adviser.

The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel regarding the legal standards applicable to their review of the New Agreements, including the Sub-Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with independent legal counsel in executive session with respect to their review of the Sub-Advisory Agreements and certain other considerations relevant to their deliberations on whether to approve them.

In addition to the information provided by each sub-advisor as described above, the Trustees also considered all other factors they believed to be relevant to evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements, including the specific matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the services to be provided to each Sub-Advised Fund by each sub-advisor, including information about the education and experience of relevant personnel at each sub-advisor. With respect to the Alternatives Fund, WFMC engages WTIA and Rock Maple to assist in the identification and selection of sub-advisors and in the portfolio construction process. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the sub-advisors to each Sub-Advised Fund are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Investment Performance. The Trustees reviewed information from the sub-advisors for the International Fund and Real Asset Fund reflecting the investment performance of their respective sub-advised portions of the corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund (that was merged into the International Fund and Real Asset Fund, as applicable) for various time periods, and, as available, information about the performance of similarly managed accounts. Although the Alternatives Fund did not have historical performance, the sub-advisors to the Alternatives Fund, to the extent available, showed investment performance information for similarly managed pooled accounts and investment companies for various periods. The Board concluded, taking into account the recommendations of Fund management, that the information supported approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Comparative Expenses. The sub-advisors provided information regarding sub-advisory fees and an analysis of these fees in relation to the delivery of services to the Sub-Advised Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the sub-advisors to other similar clients, to the extent available, and evaluated any explanation provided by the sub-advisors as to differences in fees charged to the Sub-Advised Funds and other similarly managed accounts. The Trustees concluded that the amount of the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the sub-advisors was supported by the information provided.

Management Profitability. The Board considered information about the profitability of the relationships among each Sub-Advised Fund and each sub-advisor. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that each sub-advisor’s profitability supported approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as each Sub-Advised Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered WFCM and WTIA’s assessments that under the current market conditions and based on asset sizes of the Sub-Advised Funds, economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the fees to be paid to each sub-advisor.

Other Benefits. The Trustees considered any ancillary benefit resulting from each sub-advisor’s relationship with the Sub-Advised Fund, including any soft-dollar arrangements. With respect to any soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that in selecting brokers, the sub-advisors must seek to obtain best execution of fund trades.

Conclusion. Based on all of the above-mentioned considerations, and the recommendations of management, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to enclose the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds, formerly known as the MTB Group of Funds (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the new advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (formerly known as MTB Investments Advisors, Inc.), the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period:

The Economy

The U.S. economy continues to show positive growth, but it is a slow rate of growth. The Commerce Department announced its early estimate of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.2% in the first quarter. Momentum is improving, but economic expansion remains mediocre. Since the beginning of the current recovery (third quarter of calendar year 2009), the country has averaged a 2.4% growth rate. This is significantly lower than the 4.5% annual growth rate during the last seven economic recoveries over the past 40 years. Currently, personal consumption accounts for 70% of GDP, and there is a reluctance – or inability – to ramp up spending. Consumers are concerned about the value of their homes and the outlook for jobs. Post-recession employment growth has averaged less than 1% annually since the recession ended in 2009. Jobless recoveries have become the norm. At the same time, worker productivity (output per hour) has increased. These productivity gains allow employers to keep labor costs in check, boosting profitability.

There are pockets of strength in the U.S. economic recovery, and the warm winter may have brought an early spring to the economy. Private sector hiring picked up, but government cutbacks (state and local) held back over-all job growth. April’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% and the economy added 115,000 jobs in the month. While this appears favorable, over 300,000 workers have dropped out of the work force and 41% of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more.

Global concerns remain; including a slower growth in China’s economy, austerity programs in the peripheral Eurozone countries, and a technical recession in the United Kingdom. On this side of the Atlantic, we are seeing some positive contributions from the consumer, exports, and private inventory investments. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has noted an improving economy; however, “not enough to warrant a change in stimulative policies at this time”. They predicted economic growth between 2.4% and 2.9% this year, which is significantly better than the 1.7% last year.

The Bond Markets

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, has been much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Fed responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where it simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank (ECB) initiated its “Long-Term Refinancing Operations” which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system by allowing banks to borrow cash from the ECB at a discounted borrowing rate by depositing longer-term loans with the ECB.

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE  /  April 30, 2012

ii  

Taxable sectors of the bond market such as Agency, Corporate and Mortgage-Backed Securities began 2012 by outperforming Treasuries relatively strongly. As the economy performed well and a stimulative monetary policy was maintained, investor desire for incremental income allowed “spread” sectors to outperform. In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries.

It’s been a good year in fixed income, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal market appeared during the 12 months ending 4/30/2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place during the prior fiscal year. One trend was the increased supply of municipal debt issues where levels had moved into a more traditional range as compared to the previous period’s depressed levels, and the other trend was the increased level of demand for municipal securities compared to the previous period’s sell off of municipal securities.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain Barclays Capital indices performed as follows1:

Municipal
Bond Index6
 
7.54%     8.89%        5.74%        9.20%        11.36%   

The Stock Markets

The Funds’ fiscal year ended with broad U.S. stock indices modestly higher. The slight net change masks an index drop of nearly 20% and a recovery. The potential effects of a European insolvency in both sovereign credit and banks put a scare into equity markets in August but were alleviated at least temporarily by allowing European banks to move their funding needs out to three years to provide some insurance against a liquidity crisis. While concerns about Europe fluctuated, the economic picture in the U.S. appeared to firm with a marginally better employment picture and confidence improving for both consumers and small businesses. As employment improves, it is expected that the housing market will show signs of stability with the hope of potentially adding to domestic growth at some point in the future.

The S&P 500 jumped 12.6% (including dividends) in the first quarter of 2012 with the unusual feature of having positive returns in each of the three months. One strategist points out that this has happened in only 17 of the past 66 years and there were no down years in those periods. Of course, past performance is no indication of future performance. As we approach mid-year, the market has its eyes on many issues including weakness in the European Union; the elections in the U.S.; a slowdown in China; and, the “fiscal cliff” in the U.S. which refers to a combination of expiring tax cuts, the end of the 2009 stimulus package, automatic spending cuts and new healthcare-related taxes which will be a drag on the economy.

The best performing industries during the fiscal year included computer hardware, auto retailing and homebuilding. The worst performing industries, suggesting a concern about a cyclical slowdown, included tires and rubber, aluminum, coal and consumable fuel.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

S&P 500
Index7
  Dow Jones
Industrial Average8

    MSCI All Country
World ex-US  (Net)

WILMINGTON LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND

(formerly known as MTB Large Cap Growth Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Large Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of (4.36)%* for A Shares and (3.96)%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index,** which had a total return of 7.26%.

The equity markets bottomed in early March of 2009. Since that date most equity index levels have about doubled. We are now three years into the recovery. We say recovery rather than a bull market because although equities remain inexpensive versus their historical norms, market uneasiness and volatility have kept traditional investors on the sideline. A large portion of investors have failed to reap the financial successes of the past three years due to fear and loss of capital stemming from the 2008 global financial collapse. This fiscal year, the United States has witnessed a steady but slow economic recovery. Asia is in the midst of a slowdown, albeit from a rather lofty level, and most of Western Europe is in a recession. Domestic earnings continue to come in above plan; however we are now in a global market and it is difficult for the U.S. equity market to single-handedly carry the weight of the rest of the world. Even with our slow but steady growth coupled with above trend earnings, the investor has yet to return in earnest. A recent Rasmussen poll asked the question, do you feel that the U.S. economy is currently in a recession? And 62% responded affirmatively. We wonder why volatility remains at a fever pitch. Our domestic market is close to a year high, and we are only a few percentage points away from the all-time high registered in October 2007. The equity market usually forecasts economic conditions a year in advance. We are off to a surprisingly strong start this year, even with the European financial uncertainty. Maybe the recent move in equities will be a harbinger for a bright financial future.

After delivering a solid double-digit return in fiscal 2011, last year was a disappointment. The Fund started strongly and actually was named a Category King by the Wall street Journal for outstanding performance. However Greece fiscal issues once again surfaced during the summer months and the Fund got caught by being aggressively positioned for continued economic growth and it quickly forfeited the above benchmark performance. Fiscal issues in Europe continued into the fall months and worries of the contagion spreading to much larger economies (Spain and Italy) weighed heavily on the equity markets. We again were cited as a Category King in January 2012; however it was not enough to make up for our summer shortfall. We are off to a good start in fiscal 2013, and we believe that as economic numbers continue to improve, equity shareholders will be rewarded.

The Fund’s top performing equity positions once again came from a rather eclectic group void of any central theme. CBS Corp. was our top performing equity. This national broadcasting company continued to surprise skeptics by delivering eight of the top ten weekly shows. CBS Corp. shareholders were rewarded as its share price appreciated over 37% during our fiscal year. Apple, Inc. was another top performer. The company announced several new products and withstood the death of its founder, Steve Jobs, and yet it still managed to appreciate over 70% during our fiscal year, becoming the largest market capitalization company in the world. The

Fund also benefitted from our holding in D.R. Horton, Inc. This leading homebuilder finally was rewarded for its actions taken during the financial collapse. The company rewarded its shareholders by appreciating over 35% in our fiscal year.

The Fund was negatively impacted by our position CBRE Group, Inc., a real estate and financial advisory firm. Shares of CBRE Group, Inc. dropped over 28% as earnings in their real estate division failed to meet street expectations. Another holding, Illumina, Inc. manufactures a gene sequencing machine and although there was a lot of chatter regarding its future advantages, weak earnings drove its share price lower. Our position in Baker Hughes, Inc. also had a negative impact on the Fund’s overall performance. Baker Hughes, Inc.’s share price fell over 40% from its recent high as margins in its domestic pressure pumping division collapsed. Baker Hughes, Inc. is a leading oil service company, which specialized in providing services into the new shale gas regions. As natural gas inventories climbed into an unseasonably warm winter, margins dropped, placing pressure on its share price.

As we reflect back on fiscal year 2012, we were caught with mixed emotions. To win an accolade among your peers we were elated; however we were quickly humbled by the market volatility over concerns of fiscal collapse in Greece and other Western European countries. We are once again off to a good start in fiscal year 2013; however we must be prudent given the looming financial atmosphere in Europe. We are cautious as we enter the summer months and we have reduced our aggressive growth stance; however we firmly believe that if strong domestic economic data continues then this should lead the market to a new all-time high.

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP STRATEGY FUND

(formerly a series of the WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 7.12%* for A Shares and 7.32%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index**, which had a total return of 7.11%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 1000 Index by overweighting growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the third quarter of calendar year 2011, the IST style recommendation for domestic large-cap equities was neutral. The I Shares of the Fund accurately tracked the benchmark and returned (14.68)% during the third calendar quarter. At the end of the third calendar quarter, the IST recommended an overweight to growth companies for domestic large-cap portfolios. The Fund was rebalanced to track a custom benchmark of 60% Russell 1000 Growth Index** / 40% Russell 1000 Value Index**. The IST held this target through the end of calendar year 2011. For the fourth quarter of 2011, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 13.11% and the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 10.61%. The I Shares of the Fund returned 11.61% and the Russell 1000 Index returned 11.84%. The 0.23% of underperformance is attributable to the recommended growth tilt over the period.

During the first quarter of calendar year 2012, the growth index outperformed the value index by 3.57%. In accordance with the IST recommendations, the Fund continued to overweight growth companies and the I Shares returned 13.23% versus 12.90% for the benchmark. The 0.33% of outperformance is attributable to the IST recommended growth tilt.

In April, the Fund continued to target a custom benchmark of 60% Russell 1000 Growth Index / 40% Russell 1000 Value Index. Large-cap growth companies slightly outperformed value companies in April. The I Shares of the Fund returned (0.47)% slightly outperforming the benchmark.

At the April IST meeting, the proprietary U.S. large-cap style model continued to favor growth stocks. The IST voted to follow the models and recommended maintaining the overweight to growth companies in domestic large-cap equity portfolios. The IST and Investment Research Team are researching additional tactics to improve the risk adjusted return of the portfolio.

It is subset of the Russell 3000 Index and includes approximately 1,000 of the largest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Index represents approximately 92% of the U.S. market and is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap segment and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are reflected. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

WILMINGTON LARGE CAP VALUE FUND

(formerly known as MTB Large Cap Value Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Large Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of (6.94)%* for A Shares and (6.65)%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index,** which had a total return of 1.03%.

Following very strong returns for the prior year, U.S. equity markets delivered moderate returns for the fiscal year ended April 30 2012. During the first part of the year global equities corrected significantly as concerns about slowing U.S. economic growth and European sovereign debt roiled the markets. However, beginning in October 2011 global equity markets rose significantly as the outlook for domestic growth improved and, the European Central Bank provided significant liquidity to European banks thus easing the risk of a bank default and/or a credit crunch. The markets continue to be driven by a gradually improving U.S. economy and relatively strong corporate earnings growth. U.S. corporations have demonstrated great cost control, have strong balance sheets and have maintained high profit margins in an environment where revenue growth has become a bit more challenging. Overall valuations for the market, although not compelling, remain reasonable.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW:

CONSUMER DISCRETIONARY: General Motors Co. declined as the company reported mixed quarterly earnings as better-than-expected North America volume and pricing was offset by higher costs. Investors were also concerned about a potential degradation in pricing and product mix going forward given sharply rising gasoline prices, and production cutbacks early in the year due to supply shortages from Japan. The potential overhang of the U.S. government’s ownership stake also weighed on the stock. Our investment thesis for the stock remains intact as the company’s fundamentals have greatly improved since it emerged from bankruptcy. Increased profit forecasts and the potential return of cash to shareholders along with a positive outlook for auto sales volumes continue to offer support. The outlook for earnings is being driven by higher volumes and a large new product pipeline. General Motors Co. has recently entered into an alliance with Peugeot S.A. to develop shared vehicle platforms and to collaborate on global sourcing with the goal of reducing costs at its Opel operations in Europe. In addition, General Motors Co. is particularly focused on further restructuring opportunities in Europe.

ENERGY: Natural gas prices reached 10 year lows as mild winter weather and falling coal prices resulted in a glut of gas in North America storage. Companies have begun to shut in production and shift significant capital away from dry gas, which should help to set a floor on gas prices later this year and allow for increases going into 2013. The prospect of lower North American natural gas production is a more likely reality in late 2012/early 2013 given the steep spending cuts currently underway. Amongst our energy holdings, Apache Corp. appreciated following declines last year fueled by political instability in Egypt. ApacheCorp.’s pace of acquisitions should slow appreciably from 2011, which will enable investors to focus on its strong operations, capital returns, and cash flow generation. We increased our position in Talisman Energy, Inc. as the

company is selling assets which we expect will help recognize the significant undervaluation of the remainder of the firm. In addition, we believe it will shortly announce an update suggesting a timeline for production at their Yme project in the North Sea which should reverse the negative concern that has developed over the past year. We believe investor’s expectations for the company are exceedingly low. Our position in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. declined due to the temporary shutdown of its Horizon Oil Sands project for repairs, resulting in the company lowering its production guidance. Horizon issues have weighed on management’s credibility since a fire in the coker unit shut down production for eight months last year. Investor sentiment on the stock also reflected wider heavy oil differentials as Canadian crude traded at a depressed level to West Texas Intermediate (WTI). The reversal of the Seaway pipeline and addition of more pipeline capacity should lower the WTI discount to Brent crude. The company generates substantial free cash flow, and has significant long-lived, proven reserves that we believe are overlooked by the market. We have recently increased our position in Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. on price weakness. In addition, the company just authorized a share repurchase of up to 5% of the outstanding shares over the next 12 months.

FINANCE: Our financial holdings were weak during the first six months of the year but have recovered significantly since October 2011. Although the low interest rate environment continues to weigh on the banks, their balance sheets have substantially improved over the past two years, as reflected by increased levels of capital, reserves, and liquidity. Settlement with the states’ Attorneys General regarding mortgage foreclosure and servicing practices, and the European Central Bank’s successful efforts to date in staving off the Eurozone’s sovereign debt crisis has removed an overhang on the group. Recently, portfolio holdings JP Morgan Chase & Co. and Wells Fargo & Co. announced an increase to their dividends along with share buyback plans after successfully passing the Federal Reserve’s most recent CCAR stress test. We expect Citigroup Inc. to get regulatory approval to increase capital return to shareholders later this year. Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. benefitted from increased capital market activity, which has rebounded from the depressed levels witnessed in the last half of 2011. Following a difficult first six months, our insurance stocks appreciated on the strength of improving fundamentals and a more positive outlook for capital redeployment. Responding to shareholder pressure, Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. announced a strategic restructuring whereby it will focus on property casualty by divesting its life and retirement businesses, and put its annuity business into runoff. Once executed, the restructuring should help improve returns and reduce capital market-related volatility. We believe the strategic plan is a step in the right direction, and that management is extremely focused on creating shareholder value. Recently, we trimmed our stake in Lincoln National Corp. at an attractive price, and increased our position in Unum Group. Unum Group is poised to benefit from improving pricing trends in group disability insurance. The company has a strong balance sheet and stable free cash flow that provides an opportunity for management to return significant capital back to shareholders. The stock trades at a steep discount to book value.

HEALTHCARE: Our healthcare holdings performed well during the year. Pfizer, Inc. had positive pipeline news as FDA panel committees recommended Axitinib in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, and Prevnar-13 for the prevention of pneumococcal disease in adults over 50 years of age. The company generates strong cash flow that supports an attractive dividend, while expense controls and the anticipated sale of several businesses remain potential catalysts. We tendered 85% of our Amgen, Inc. stock in a Dutch auction at $60 per share, and sold the remaining shares shortly thereafter. Although we believe Amgen, Inc. has an attractive valuation with a solid drug pipeline that includes Denosumab for the treatment of bone loss, the company faces a number of regulatory and competitive headwinds going forward that caused us to be more cautious. We believe our investment in Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. offers an attractive risk/reward at current levels. We expect Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd.’s Copaxone franchise to continue to drive earnings and cash flow growth, and believe that the stock’s valuation reflects a far more pessimistic scenario. Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. announced the appointment of a new CEO and $3.0 billion share buyback, which was well received by investors as it represents a shift toward a more shareholder focused capital allocation strategy. The next catalyst for the stock is a lower court trial ruling on the generic challenge of Copaxone, Teva’s branded multiple sclerosis drug, in mid-2012.

MATERIALS & PROCESSING: Our gold investments declined as gold equities have continued their under-performance relative to the price of gold. Operationally, AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. reported solid performance at its Geita mine in Tanzania, while its Obuasi mine in Ghana continues to make steady progress towards improving results. We believe the turnaround of these two mines, along with its Tropicana project coming online in late 2013, remain catalysts for the stock. For Barrick Gold Corp., the ramp up of production at its Pueblo Viejo mine in the Dominican Republic is progressing as expected, while its Pascua-Lama development in Argentina/Chile is slated for production in mid-2013. Together these projects should add 1.5 million ounces of new low cost annual gold output. Cost inflation going forward remains a concern as fuel and labor prices continue to increase. During the year, we added fertilizer producer Mosaic Co. to the portfolio. The stock has been pressured by concerns regarding the near term demand outlook for phosphate and potash given delayed U.S. dealer purchases and uncertainty of Indian and Brazilian imports. While we acknowledge these near term headwinds, we believe the medium/long term fundamentals remain favorable given the company’s unique position in a cartel potash market. Mosaic Co. offers a substantial resource base at an attractive price, has net cash on its balance sheet, and positive free cash flow that could be used for share repurchases. The company recently announced that it had negotiated a favorable agreement to resume operations at its South Fort Meade phosphate mine in Florida, enabling the company to significantly lower its phosphate rock acquisition costs.

INDUSTRIALS: The recent positive performance of Ingersoll-Rand PLC. reflects early indications of a cyclical recovery in housing and construction end-markets after being depressed for the last three years. The company has also made significant progress at resolving internal profit pressures, particularly within its HVAC business. The stock trades at an attractive valuation, and earnings

expectations appear to be conservative. Additionally, an activist investor has recently taken a position in the stock. PACCAR, Inc. has recently reported good earnings progress that reflects continued fundamental improvement in the North American commercial truck market. Missteps at competitor Navistar International Corp. related to EPA certification for new engines could provide some upside opportunities for PACCAR, Inc. in the near term.

TECHNOLOGY: Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. appreciated significantly during the year as the company received an all cash takeover offer from Google, Inc. at $40 per share. The catalyst for the acquisition was Motorola’s extensive patent portfolio, which Google plans to use to protect its Android franchise. We had increased our position in Motorola Mobility Holdings, Inc. back in March 2011 based on valuation given the attractiveness of its patent portfolio, and subsequently eliminated the entire position after the acquisition was announced. The recent appreciation of CA, Inc. reflects the company’s announcement that it will return $2.5 billion of capital to shareholders through 2014 by raising its dividend 400% and repurchasing shares (equating to roughly 80% of the company’s free cash flows). These are actions that we have strongly supported. CA, Inc.’s strengthened management team has made strides to improve the company’s market position and enhance shareholder value through a strategic restructuring and increased focus on internal operations. Going forward, our focus will be on management’s execution at improving margins in its distribution business. Shares of Microsoft Corp. also posted a strong gain for the quarter, reflecting anticipation of a successful launch of Windows 8 later this year and a resurgent PC market. Another potential catalyst is an index rebalancing expected to occur later this year due to an increase in the shares available for trading (i.e. “float”) as Bill Gates continues to reduce his personal holdings of Microsoft Corp. stock. This could put upward pressure on the stock price. We also initiated a new position in Hewlett-Packard Co. The company is in the midst of a strategic turnaround following several quarters of declining revenues and earnings. Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman was brought in as CEO in 2011 to oversee a complex transformation which will include cost restructuring, an increase in research and development spending with a focus on growth areas, and a more cohesive strategy for its server, storage, and networking businesses. The near-term goal for the firm is to improve operating margins while stabilizing the revenue stream. HP continues to generate a strong free cash flow which it can use to support its current dividend, repurchase shares, and reduce its debt load. The recent appointment of an activist investor to the board of HP should keep management focused on addressing operational issues that will improve profitability as well as pursue innovations in higher growth markets with better margins. The market is forecasting declines in profitability that are significantly worse than we believe will occur.

OUTLOOK: While this is no time to be complacent and no permanent solutions have been applied to the structural issues facing the global economy, U.S. economic growth continues at a slow/moderate pace. Earnings reports are, on balance, pretty good. Dividend increases and share repurchase authorizations have continued as well. Interest rates have increased modestly on medium/long-term Treasuries although they remain at exceptionally low levels. Inflation is still modest, and confidence in the U.S. has kept interest rates at a level well below normal. Warning signs are not hard to find. China’s rate of economic growth, a critical engine for global

growth and commodity prices/demand, is decelerating and uncertain. Concerns about the structural fiscal problems in Europe have surfaced again. The U.S. has been a major beneficiary of low interest rates due to the turmoil and fear in Europe; how long our country can borrow and finance its structural deficits at historically low rates remains a big question mark. There is no easy cure for structural deficits. Austerity programs provide a long-term balance between government spending and revenues, but are socially and politically difficult. It is hard to get anything done until market dynamics absolutely force action under the threat of otherwise dire consequences.

We would like to close our outlook with a few observations. Shareholder activism has accelerated over the past year. We cannot recall a time when there have been more companies undergoing challenges from major shareholders (whether or not they are 13D filers) to solve problems, improve profitability, accelerate the return of free cash flow, or create value in other ways. Waiting for a robust economy to solve problems and increase stock prices can’t be and isn’t the go to option anymore. We have generally found company managements to be more understanding of the need to have greater urgency. Separately, we have even witnessed Wall Street analysts promoting what we refer to as “sell side activism” as there have been several reports urging or articulating the value or need to restructure. We have redoubled our efforts to find companies that not only offer attractive valuation and downside protection, but can solve problems and force recognition of value even in a difficult economic environment. The number of our portfolio investments that are in the midst of transforming themselves to highlight and recognize value is meaningful and growing.

WILMINGTON MID CAP GROWTH FUND

(formerly known as MTB Mid Cap Growth Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of (1.55)%* for A Shares and (1.40)%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index**, which had a total return of 0.78%.

The Fund faced a challenging year as equity markets fluctuated in a broad range. The pattern was reminiscent of 2010, with investors beginning the year anxious about the prospect for continued economic growth. This concern reached a fever pitch from August through October as the U.S. debt-ceiling, European sovereign/bank debt, and China growth concerns worked together to undermine investor confidence. Stock correlations rose to levels above the 2008 crisis, while valuations plummeted. As in 2010, our analysis indicated that the worst fears reflected in the equity market were unlikely to be realized. We retained our pro-growth positioning and our conviction was rewarded with a strong rebound from November 2011 through March 2012. Through March and April 2012, however, growth jitters (and consolidation from the rapid rebound) again softened investor enthusiasm for stocks in general, growth stocks particularly, and a few of our holdings especially.

The Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark mainly reflects significant weakness of a few holdings, which unfortunately had a large enough impact to offset some remarkable successes. To an extent, the wide dispersion of outcomes reflects narrowing stock market leadership as we recover from the 2008/2009 lows. When a company appears to no longer display attractive growth momentum, the stock gets punished. In addition, the fiscal year began at a high point for the Fund, and thus the year-over-year return looks weak from a high starting point. Broadly speaking, we held solid winners in Consumer Discretionary (Lululemon Athletica, Inc., CBS Corp.), Consumer Staples (Herbalife Ltd.), Information Technology (Sourcefire, Inc.), and Energy (Cabot Oil & Gas Corp.). Unfortunately, we offset these and other strong performers with weak results from other holdings, notably Walter Industries, Inc., Allscripts Healthcare Solutions, Inc., Peabody Energy Corp., Aruba Networks, Inc., and McDermott International, Inc. Sector allocation had an additional negative impact, as Energy and Information Technology stocks struggled against investor pessimism despite, in our analysis, attractive underlying fundamentals.

Finally, in the periods when the market has been driven (generally down) by macro news flow, volatile and highly-correlated stock movements have made it difficult for fundamentally-based, active managers in general. Strong, individual company-based results were frequently overwhelmed by sector rotations and broad market gyrations. The result was that a majority of managers underperformed the benchmark, which allowed our I Share returns to achieve the 50th percentile of the Lipper Mid Cap Growth Funds Average for the year despite our missteps. Nonetheless, our goal remains to exceed the benchmark’s return and, while our discipline may not achieve that goal every year, our long-term results indicate that we have been able to identify companies with strong business models selling at attractive valuations. We remain committed to the disciplined implementation of that approach.

WILMINGTON SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND

(formerly known as MTB Small Cap Growth Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of (8.68)%* for A Shares, (8.77)%* for C Shares and (8.53)%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index,** which had a total return of (4.42)%.

After peaking in late April into early May 2011, equity markets encountered significant turbulence during the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year. Macroeconomic and political concerns again trumped strong corporate profit performance as European sovereign debt issues (seemingly annual), worries over China slowing, and political gridlock in the United States and Europe dominated investors’ behavior. Turmoil in Europe intensified, driven by fear of Greek debt issues spilling over into the stronger European core countries. As China continued to tighten credit availability, fears of a hard landing resurfaced. In the U.S., the debt ceiling debate led S&P to downgrade the U.S.’s debt rating.

The first quarter of 2012 saw the S&P 500 Index turn in its best quarterly performance since the third quarter of 2009 as Europe backed away from the point of collapse, the U.S. economy showed continued signs of life, and central banks pledged to step in and support global economic growth. Investors diverted assets from relatively safe but low-yielding bonds into riskier investments following last year’s turmoil. The risk on trade was alive and well.

Financials rallied as the U.S. economy strengthened and the Federal Reserve reported that 15 of the 19 largest banks in the U.S. passed its latest stress test to gauge their ability to withstand a deep financial downturn. Technology shares benefited from strong results from Apple, Inc. and Consumer Discretionary shares outperformed the broad market. Stocks levered to growth in China and the emerging markets, Materials and Industrials, lagged but still delivered positive returns. Could this be a sign of new leadership in the market and will the improvement in the economy continue after the effect of the warm weather wears off? Only time will tell.

In April cracks in Europe were fixed and the housing market recovery trade began to emerge. Economic data continued to surprise to the upside at a less frequent rate. Profits were booked and a wait and see attitude began to permeate the market. Fear of a repeat of last summer’s selloff was too fresh in the minds of investors. Yet leading economic indicators continue to improve and commodity prices started to decline, the opposite of last year.

WILMINGTON SMALL-CAP STRATEGY FUND

(formerly a series of the WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 0.06% for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index**, which had a total return of (0.12)%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 2000 Index by overweighting growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the third quarter of calendar year 2011, the IST style recommendation for domestic small-cap equities was neutral, and the Fund underperformed the benchmark by 0.10%. At the end of the third quarter of the calendar year, the IST recommended overweighting growth companies for domestic small-cap portfolios. The Fund was rebalanced to track a custom benchmark of 60% Russell 2000 Growth Index** / 40% Russell 2000 Value Index**. The IST held this target through the end of the calendar year. For the fourth quarter of the calendar year, the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 15.97% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 14.99%. The Fund returned 15.36% and slightly underperformed the Russell 2000 Index return of 15.47%. The 0.11% of underperformance is attributable to the recommended growth tilt over the period.

During the first quarter of calendar year 2012, the growth index outperformed the value index by 1.69%. The Fund continued to be overweight growth companies and returned 12.57% versus 12.44% for the benchmark. The 0.13% of outperformance is attributable to the IST recommended growth tilt.

In April, the Fund continued to target a custom benchmark of 60% Russell 2000 Growth Index / 40% Russell 2000 Value Index. Small-cap growth companies slightly outperformed value companies in April. The Fund returned (1.49)%, almost matching the Russell 2000 Index return of (1.55)%.

At the April IST meeting, the proprietary U.S. small-cap style model continued to favor growth stocks. The IST voted to follow the models and recommended maintaining the overweight to growth companies in domestic small-cap equity portfolios. The IST and Investment Research Team are researching additional tactics to improve the risk adjusted return of the portfolio.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (concluded)

 

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $36,209,589. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $17,153,168. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $19,773,356 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $2,620,188.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2012 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

90   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Wilmington Funds

April 30, 2012

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), formerly known as MTB Group of Funds, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 26 portfolios, 6 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as the “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 20 funds (1 of which is only made available to variable annuity contracts) are presented in separate reports.

 

Fund    Investment Goal
Wilmington Large Cap Growth Fund (“Large Cap Growth Fund”) formerly MTB Large Cap Growth Fund(d)    The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund (“Large-Cap Strategy Fund”)(d)    The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund (“Large Cap Value Fund”) formerly MTB Large Cap Value Fund(d)   

The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation and secondarily, current income.

Wilmington Mid Cap Growth Fund (“Mid Cap Growth Fund”) formerly MTB Mid Cap Growth Fund(d)    The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Wilmington Small Cap Growth Fund (“Small Cap Growth Fund”) formerly MTB Small Cap Growth Fund(d)    The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation.
Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (“Small-Cap Strategy Fund”)(d)    The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

 

  (d)   Diversified

The Trust offers 7 classes of shares: A Shares, C Shares, Service Shares, Select Shares, Administrative Shares, I Shares and Institutional Shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

On April 1, 2011, Class B Shares of the Funds were terminated after the conversion to Class A Shares of the same Fund.

Effective March 9, 2012, the Wilmington Large Cap Strategy Fund and the Wilmington Small Cap Strategy Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund, were reorganized into the Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the WT Funds’ financial and performance history prior to the reorganization has been carried forward and is reflected in the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights. See Note 7 for additional information regarding the reorganization.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;

   

in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

 

   

investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing its NAV, the Funds value foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance (GAAP) for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     91   

The Funds’ policy is to disclose significant transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2012, there were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities, based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and other open-end regulated investment companies) are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04, which includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid as follows:

 

Fund   Dividends
Declared
    Dividends
Paid
 
Large Cap Growth Fund     Annually        Annually   
Large-Cap Strategy Fund     Quarterly        Quarterly   
Large Cap Value Fund     Quarterly        Quarterly   
Mid Cap Growth Fund     Annually        Annually   
Small Cap Growth Fund     Annually        Annually   
Small-Cap Strategy Fund     Quarterly        Quarterly   

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Warrants and Rights – Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Equity-linked warrants are purchased in order to own local exposure to certain countries in which the Funds are not locally registered. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustee’s approved fair value procedures.

92   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”

As of April 30, 2012, the Funds listed below had securities with the following values on loan:

 

Fund   Value of
Securities
on Loan
    Value of
Collateral
 
Large Cap Growth Fund   $ 1,693,773      $ 1,763,138   
Large-Cap Strategy Fund     3,080,296        3,167,872   
Large Cap Value Fund     1,582,983        1,640,497   
Mid Cap Growth Fund     13,641,299        14,043,738   
Small Cap Growth Fund     10,114,931        10,436,413   
Small-Cap Strategy Fund     4,223,618        4,362,235   

The Funds maintain the risk of any loss on the securities on loan as well as the potential loss on investments purchased with cash collateral received from securities lending.

 

3.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for income recognition on expiration of capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, partnership adjustments, REIT dividend reclasses, and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, and distributions recognition on income distribution payable.

As of April 30, 2012, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended, 2011, 2010, and 2009, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the period ended April 30, 2012, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

At April 30, 2012, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets described in Note 7, and to the extent unrealized gains and losses that existed at the time of the reorganization are realized, the capital loss carryforwards may further be limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.

The Funds used capital loss carryforwards as follows to offset taxable capital gains realized during the year ended April 30, 2012:

 

Fund   Capital Loss
Carryforwards
Used
 
Large Cap Growth Fund   $ 3,853,415   
Large-Cap Strategy Fund     10,810,147   
Large Cap Value Fund     5,365,362   
Mid Cap Growth Fund     4,054,445   
Small Cap Growth Fund     10,325,906   

The Large Cap Value Fund expired capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $75,669.

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernizatiion Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occuring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Post-October losses and Post-December losses deferred to May 1, 2012 are as follows:

The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNY Mellon. The termination date of this LOC is March 11, 2013. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2012.

 

7.   REORGANIZATION

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund, each a series of WT Mutual Fund, (the “WT Funds”) in exchange for shares of Large-Cap Strategy Fund and Small-Cap Strategy Fund, respectively (the “Acquiring Funds”). The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the

ANNUAL REPORT  /  April 30, 2012


Table of Contents

 

96   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the WT Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective WT Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Funds received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (A Shares and I Shares) of the Acquiring Funds, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Acquiring Funds had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. The WT Funds investment objectives, policies and limitations were identical to those of the Acquiring Funds. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Funds prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

8.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Funds are subject to claims and suits that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. For example, certain creditors of the Tribune Co., now in bankruptcy, have filed actions against former Tribune shareholders who tendered their shares when Tribune went private in 2007 as part of a leveraged buyout (“LBO”). These creditor plaintiffs seek the return of all proceeds received by the former Tribune shareholders. The Tribune-related actions are currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in a Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”). There are thousands of defendants in the MDL, including the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund. The suits all seek the same thing: disgorgement of the amounts received by the former Tribune shareholders as part of the LBO. The reason there are different suits is that there are different plaintiffs (various Tribune creditors) and different legal theories of recovery (intentional versus constructive fraudulent conveyance). Although management currently believes that the resolution of the claims against the Funds, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a materially adverse impact on the Funds’ financial positions, results of operations, or cash flows, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.

Litigation counsel to the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund in the Lawsuits does not believe that it is possible, at this early stage in the proceedings, to predict with any reasonable certainty the probable outcome of the Lawsuits or quantify the ultimate exposure to the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund arising from the Lawsuits. Until the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund can do so, no reduction of the net asset value of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund will be made relating to the Lawsuits. However, even if the plaintiffs

in the Lawsuits were to obtain the full recovery they seek, the amount would be less than 0.5% of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund’s net asset value at this time. The Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund also cannot predict what its size might be at the time the cost of the Lawsuits might be quantifiable and thus potentially deducted from its net asset value. Therefore, at this time, those buying or redeeming shares of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund will pay or receive, as the case may be, a price based on net asset value of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund, with no adjustment relating to the Lawsuits. The attorneys’ fees and costs relating to the Lawsuits will be taken as expenses by the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund as incurred and in a manner similar to any other expense incurred by the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid Cap Growth Fund.

 

9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

 

10.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

Complete information regarding the tax status of distributions will be reported on Forms 1099.

Of the ordinary income (including short-term capital gain) distributions made by the Funds during the year ended April 30, 2012, the Funds designate the following percentages, or such greater percentages that constitute the maximum amount allowable pursuant to Code Sections Section 243 and 854(b)(2), as qualifying for the corporate dividends received deduction:

 

Fund      
Large Cap Growth Fund     100.00
Large-Cap Strategy Fund     99.36
Large Cap Value Fund     100.00
Small-Cap Strategy Fund     58.84

For the year ended April 30, 2012, the Funds designate the following percentages of the ordinary income dividends, or such greater percentages that constitute the maximum amount allowable pursuant to Code Sections 1(h)(11) and 854(b)(2), as qualified dividend income which may be subject to a maximum rate of federal income tax of 15%:

 

Fund      
Large Cap Growth Fund     100.00
Large-Cap Strategy Fund     100.00
Large Cap Value Fund     100.00
Small-Cap Strategy Fund     59.27

If the Funds meet the requirements of Section 853 of the Code, the Funds will pass through to shareholders credits of foreign taxes paid.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wilmington Large Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Large Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small Cap Growth Fund, and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (six of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of April 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein. 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. 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 the Wilmington Large Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Large Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small Cap Growth Fund, and Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund at April 30, 2012, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on Behalf of Each Fund

At in-person meetings held on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board, including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and WFMC (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”). At the same meetings, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, also approved a sub-advisory agreement among the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, WFMC and WTIA (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the “New Agreements”).

The New Agreements relate to each of: the Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the “Group A Funds”); the Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund, and Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Group B Funds”); and the Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (the “Alternatives Fund,” and, collectively with the Group A Funds and the Group B Funds, the “Funds”). Each Group A Fund has been a series of the Trust for a number of years, and on or about March 12, 2012, certain of the Group A Funds acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The shareholders of each Group A Fund as of January 6, 2012, approved the New Agreements. The Board established the Group B Funds at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and on or about March 12, 2012, each Group B Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The Board established the Alternatives Fund at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and the Alternatives Fund commenced operations on or about January 14, 2012.

Before considering the New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board requested and reviewed information relating to the New Agreements, which was provided by WFMC and WTIA. That information addressed, among other things: (i) the services to be performed; (ii) the size and qualifications of WFMC and WTIA’s portfolio management staff; (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with WFMC and WTIA’s management of the Funds; (iv) how the Funds would be managed by WFMC and WTIA, including a general description of the investment decision making processes, sources of information and investment strategies; (v) investment performance information; (vi) results of independent audit and regulatory examinations, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted; (vii) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on WFMC or WTIA’s ability to service the Funds; and (viii) WFMC and WTIA’s internal program for ensuring compliance with applicable investment objectives, policies and practices of the Funds, and the federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. WFMC and WTIA provided written responses to the Board’s request for information, and also provided oral responses during the in-person meetings. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel regarding the legal standards applicable to their review of the New Agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with independent legal counsel in executive session with respect to their review of the New Agreements and certain other considerations relevant to their deliberations on whether to approve the New Agreements.

At the meetings on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board determined that WFMC and WTIA had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide satisfactory advisory services to each Fund, and that the advisory fees paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable fee limitations and breakpoints, represent reasonable compensation to WFMC and WTIA. In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees gave attention to all information furnished, including information provided throughout the prior year by WTIA (formerly known as MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.) as investment advisor to the Group A Funds. The Trustees also noted that WFMC and WTIA are under the common control of M&T Bank Corporation, and that the officers and employees of WFMC overlap with the officers and employees of WTIA.

In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees considered various factors, as described below, that they believed to be relevant in evaluating the New Agreements. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered that the New Agreements are substantially similar to the Trust’s previous investment advisory agreements with WTIA, which were approved for renewal at an in-person meeting held on September 14-15, 2011. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees therefore considered the many reports furnished to them during the year at regular Board meetings covering matters such as: the relative performance of the Group A Funds; compliance with the investment objectives, policies, strategies and limitations of the Group A Funds; and the compliance of management personnel with the numerous operational and compliance policies and procedures that were established by the Board. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees also considered WFMC and WTIA’s personnel who possess the experience to provide investment management services to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund employ a

    103   

multi-manager approach through which the Funds rely on two or more sub-advisors to manage a portion of each Fund’s assets under the ongoing supervision of WFMC and WTIA. In the case of the Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund, which were established at the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees focused on the prior experience of WFMC and WTIA in overseeing the investment activities of sub-advisors that are not affiliated with WFMC and WTIA.

Based on the information provided by WFMC and WTIA, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by WFMC and WTIA supported the approval of the New Agreements.

Investment Performance. The Board considered the overall investment performance of WFMC, WTIA and the Group A and Group B Funds, as well as the funds of the WT Mutual Fund for which WFMC previously served as investment advisor. Although the Trustees gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Trustees also gave weight to their review of investment performance in connection with the approval of the New Agreements at the Board meetings held October 26 and December 9, 2011. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA, which showed each Group A Fund’s investment performance in comparison with its applicable peer group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods, as well as information about each Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark. With respect to the Group B Funds, the Trustees considered similar information about the performance of each series of the WT Mutual Fund that was merged into a corresponding Group B Fund. With respect to the Alternatives Fund, the Trustees considered hypothetical, pro-forma performance information for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance information provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Comparative Expenses. WFMC and WTIA represented to the Board that the aggregate contractual investment advisory fees for each Group A Fund would be the same as that previously charged to the Funds by WTIA. At its meeting on September 14-15, 2011, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Group A Fund based upon, among other things, comparative information about the net advisory fee ratios and total expense ratios (after deduction for advisory fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of each Fund versus those of a group of funds selected as being similar to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA which showed each Group B Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by WFMC which showed Alternatives Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. In that regard, the Trustees noted the unique nature of the Alternatives Fund, which uses multiple sub-advisors employing alternative investment strategies, as well as WFMC and WTIA’s contractual commitment to waive certain fees and reimburse expenses for the Fund.

At the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees to be paid to and the services to be provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Management Profitability. The Trustees also considered the profitability of the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA, noting the significant decreases in profitability for the Group A Funds over the last few years. The Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues received by affiliates of WFMC and WTIA. Based on the information provided, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to WFMC and WTIA with respect to the Funds supported approval of the New Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as each Fund grows, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered WFMC and WTIA’s assessments that under the current market conditions and based on the asset sizes of the Funds, and the existence of certain voluntary and contractual fee waivers, economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the investment advisory fees of the Funds.

Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the “fall-out” or ancillary benefits resulting from the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA. In that regard, the Board considered the fees received by WFMC and WTIA and their affiliates for providing other services to the Funds under separate agreements. With respect to any soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that in selecting brokers, WFMC and WTIA must seek to obtain best execution of fund trades.

Conclusion. After consideration of all the factors, taking into consideration the information presented at the meetings and deliberating in executive session with independent legal counsel outside of the presence of management personnel, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Agreements. The Board based its decision on the totality of the circumstances, including the factors identified above, and with a view to past and long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified were relevant to each Fund, nor did the Board find any one of them to be determinative.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to enclose the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds, formerly known as the MTB Group of Funds (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012. Inside, you will find a discussion of the factors impacting each Fund’s performance during the reporting period, as well as a complete listing of each Fund’s holdings and financial statements.

The Economy and Financial Markets in Review

Wilmington Funds Management Corporation, the new advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (formerly known as MTB Investments Advisors, Inc.), the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period:

The Economy

The U.S. economy continues to show positive growth, but it is a slow rate of growth. The Commerce Department announced its early estimate of Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth of 2.2% in the first quarter. Momentum is improving, but economic expansion remains mediocre. Since the beginning of the current recovery (third quarter of calendar year 2009), the country has averaged a 2.4% growth rate. This is significantly lower than the 4.5% annual growth rate during the last seven economic recoveries over the past 40 years. Currently, personal consumption accounts for 70% of GDP, and there is a reluctance—or inability—to ramp up spending. Consumers are concerned about the value of their homes and the outlook for jobs. Post-recession employment growth has averaged less than 1% annually since the recession ended in 2009. Jobless recoveries have become the norm. At the same time, worker productivity (output per hour) has increased. These productivity gains allow employers to keep labor costs in check, boosting profitability.

There are pockets of strength in the U.S. economic recovery, and the warm winter may have brought an early spring to the economy. Private sector hiring picked up, but government cutbacks (state and local) held back over-all job growth. April’s unemployment rate dropped to 8.1% and the economy added 115,000 jobs in the month. While this appears favorable, over 300,000 workers have dropped out of the work force and 41% of the unemployed have been out of work for six months or more.

Global concerns remain; including a slower growth in China’s economy, austerity programs in the peripheral Eurozone countries, and a technical recession in the United Kingdom. On this side of the Atlantic, we are seeing some positive contributions from the consumer, exports, and private inventory investments. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has noted an improving economy; however, “not enough to warrant a change in stimulative policies at this time”. They predicted economic growth between 2.4% and 2.9% this year, which is significantly better than the 1.7% last year.

The Bond Markets

The bond market, the subject of so much stress last summer, has been much less volatile over the last six months. Twelve months ago, the economy was beginning to decelerate and fears that a “double dip” recession could occur were evident. This perceived economic weakness helped bolster bond prices as inflation concerns waned. A recession was averted, but in late July, concern over the U.S. debt limit mounted.

While the debt limit was eventually raised, and the risk of default abated, Standard and Poor’s lowered the credit rating of the U.S. from “AAA” to “AA+”. In Europe, the fiscal difficulties of Greece, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Ireland brought “flight to safety” buying as investors sought the relative safety of U.S. Treasury obligations. Lagging the strong performance of Treasuries were Agency, Corporate, and Mortgage-Backed Securities which underperformed the Treasury market in the fourth quarter of 2011.

The Fed responded to the slow economic growth by embarking on “Operation Twist” where it simultaneously bought $400B of longer-term Treasury obligations while selling $400B of shorter-term obligations. The Fed also indicated that it would keep short-term interest rates extremely low into 2014. The European Central Bank (ECB) initiated its “Long-Term Refinancing Operations” which addressed some of the liquidity concerns of its banking system by allowing banks to borrow cash from the ECB at a discounted borrowing rate by depositing longer-term loans with the ECB.

Taxable sectors of the bond market such as Agency, Corporate and Mortgage-Backed Securities began 2012 by outperforming Treasuries relatively strongly. As the economy performed well and a stimulative monetary policy was maintained, investor desire for incremental income allowed “spread” sectors to outperform. In particular, the Corporate sector had a very strong quarter and was able to largely erase the 2011 underperformance versus Treasuries.

It’s been a good year in fixed income, particularly in the tax-exempt bond arena. Two trends in the municipal market appeared during the 12 months ending 4/30/2012, both reflecting a reversal of the trends in place during the prior fiscal year. One trend was the increased supply of municipal debt issues where levels had moved into a more traditional range as compared to the previous period’s depressed levels, and the other trend was the increased level of demand for municipal securities compared to the previous period’s sell off of municipal securities.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain Barclays Capital indices performed as follows1:

The Stock Markets

The Funds’ fiscal year ended with broad U.S. stock indices modestly higher. The slight net change masks an index drop of nearly 20% and a recovery. The potential effects of a European insolvency in both sovereign credit and banks put a scare into equity markets in August but were alleviated at least temporarily by allowing European banks to move their funding needs out to three years to provide some insurance against a liquidity crisis. While concerns about Europe fluctuated, the economic picture in the U.S. appeared to firm with a marginally better employment picture and confidence improving for both consumers and small businesses. As employment improves, it is expected that the housing market will show signs of stability with the hope of potentially adding to domestic growth at some point in the future.

The S&P 500 jumped 12.6% (including dividends) in the first quarter of 2012 with the unusual feature of having positive returns in each of the three months. One strategist points out that this has happened in only 17 of the past 66 years and there were no down years in those periods. Of course, past performance is no indication of future performance. As we approach mid-year, the market has its eyes on many issues including weakness in the European Union; the elections in the U.S.; a slowdown in China; and, the “fiscal cliff” in the U.S. which refers to a combination of expiring tax cuts, the end of the 2009 stimulus package, automatic spending cuts and new healthcare-related taxes which will be a drag on the economy.

The best performing industries during the fiscal year included computer hardware, auto retailing and homebuilding. The worst performing industries, suggesting a concern about a cyclical slowdown, included tires and rubber, aluminum, coal and consumable fuel.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

S&P 500

The Trust, with assets of $12.8 billion as of April 30, 2012, gives investors access to every major asset class and sector. Whether you are looking for a comfortable retirement, to fund a child’s higher education, pursue tax-free income11, stay ahead of inflation, or keep your cash working, one or more of the Trust’s Funds may provide you with the diversification, flexibility and professional management you need.

For more complete information, please download the Funds’ prospectus available on www.wilmingtonfunds.com or call 1-800-836-2211 for a copy. You should consider the Funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses carefully before you invest. Information about these and other important subjects is in the Funds’ prospectus, which you should read carefully before investing.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The index performance quoted is for illustrative purposes only and is not representative of any specific investment. Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss.

An investment in money market funds is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in these funds.

All investments involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Equity securities are subject to price fluctuation and possible loss of principal. Small- and mid-cap stocks involve greater risks and volatility than large-cap stocks. International investments are subject to special risks, including currency fluctuations, social, economic, and political uncertainties, which could increase volatility.

These risks are magnified in emerging markets. Stock markets, especially foreign markets, are volatile and can decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a rise in interest rates can cause a decline in their prices. Real estate is a cyclical industry that is sensitive to interest rates, economic conditions (both nationally and locally), property tax rates and other factors. Commodity-related securities may be subject to additional risks and broad price fluctuations. High yield securities present greater risk of loss than higher quality debt securities and may be subject to greater price volatility. Investments such as mutual funds that focus on alternative strategies are subject to increased risk and loss of principal and are not suitable for all investors.

Diversification and asset allocation do not assure profit or protect against loss. Investment markets are volatile and no investment strategy can guarantee that the desired result will be achieved. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program rather than, in itself, a complete program. Because the Fund invests in underlying mutual funds or other managed strategies, an investor in the Fund will bear the management fees and operating expenses of the “Underlying Strategies” in which the Fund invests. The total expenses borne by an investor in the Fund will be higher than if the investor invested directly in the Underlying Strategies, and the returns may therefore be lower.

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER INTERNATIONAL FUND

(formerly a series of WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -11.65%* for A Shares and -11.45%* for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Morgan Stanley Capital International— All Country World ex-US Index (Net, USD) (“MSCI ACWI ex-US”)** and Morgan Stanley Capital International—Europe, Australasia and Far East Index (Net, USD) (“MSCI EAFE”)*** which had a total returns of -8.99% and -9.03%, respectively.

The fiscal period was a volatile and difficult time for international equity markets as it started poorly as investors became increasingly concerned that unsustainable levels of sovereign debt for many countries in Europe could eventually threaten the viability of many European banks. In addition, weakness in manufacturing data in the U.S., Europe, and China led to heightened fears of a double-dip global recession. Global equity markets were further unsettled by the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating. Investors returned from the sidelines in October 2011 to send markets soaring as corporate earnings remained strong and economic data indicated a better outlook for the U.S. economy in 2012. Investors were also encouraged by the progress being made by Europe’s leaders to resolve the region’s debt crisis. However, the optimism failed to persist among growing fears over the European debt and banking crises and much of the gains recorded in October disappeared by the end of April 2012.

Developed large-cap equities returned -9.0% during the period as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex-US. The Pacific region posted a -3.4% return due in large part to the performance of Japan (-3.1%). Meanwhile, the European region returned -11.8%, reflecting investor sentiment regarding the issues over the region’s sovereign debt problems as Germany (-16.0%) and France (-24.1%) recorded poor relative results. Denmark, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom were the only developed markets outside of the U.S. that experienced positive returns over the fiscal period.

Emerging market equities returned -8.9% during the fiscal period as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD)***. The Emerging Asia region was the best performing in the period, returning -8.0%. The Philippines (+23.7%) and Thailand (+19.5%) were among the strongest performing countries in the region as investors continued to invest in smaller emerging nations that are experiencing increasing economic growth. Despite poor results from the Latin America’s largest country, Brazil (-15.2%), the region returned -9.5% and did include some standout positive performers such as Peru (+22.9%) and Colombia (+14.4%). The Eastern Europe region trailed on a relative basis, returning -18.9%, as countries such as Hungary (-33.0%) experienced difficulties in handling their own fiscal house.

The U.S. dollar strengthened during the fiscal period versus most of the major world currencies. The overall impact of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and developed country currencies was to decrease the dollar-denominated returns of developed market equities by nearly 3%. In addition, the impact of U.S. dollar strength versus emerging market currencies was to decrease the

dollar-denominated returns of emerging market equities by nearly 7% during the fiscal period.

Value stocks in developed markets underperformed growth stocks as the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net, USD)** returned -10.8% and the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net, USD)** returned -7.0%. A view of performance along the market capitalization spectrum saw small-caps, as measured by the MSCI World Small Cap ex-US Index (Net, USD), return -7.7% and outperform large-caps as measured by the MSCI World ex-US Index (Net, USD)***, -9.0%.

On March 12, 2012, the MTB International Equity Fund merged with the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund and added the following sub-advisors to the Fund: Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”), Dimensional Fund Advisors LP (“DFA”), Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P. (“GSAM”), Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), Principal Global Investors LLC (“Principal”), and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”). WTIA allocates assets of the Fund among the sub-advisors and is currently not allocating any assets to Acadian and Principal. In addition, the Fund terminated the sub-advisory services of Artio Global Investors during March 2012.

The Fund allocates assets between developed markets and emerging markets based on the advice of WTIA’s Investment Strategy Team tactical asset allocation recommendations and as of April 30, 2012 had a 73% allocation to developed large-cap markets, 0% to developed small-cap markets, and 27% allocation to emerging markets. In addition, the allocation to developed large-cap markets was 42% value and 58% growth. Prior to the Funds’ merger, the MTB International Equity Fund had a static allocation of assets amongst the three sub-advisors of the Fund, Hansberger Global Investors (“HGI”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), and Barings International Investment Limited (“Barings”). Post merger these three sub-advisers continue to manage assets within the Fund.

The growth portfolio managed by Hansberger slightly trailed the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net, USD) during the fiscal period. Though their allocation to emerging markets did add relative value, their holdings in Canada, including uranium producer Cameco and Manulife Financial, and Pacific ex-Japan, including Australia’s Woodside Petroleum and BHP Billiton, detracted value. On a sector basis, the portfolio’s technology holdings outperformed with Britain’s Autonomy being the main contributor after it was acquired by Hewlett Packard for a considerable premium. Consumer discretionary outperformed with Prada and Hong Kong retail goods distributor Li & Fung the main contributors. Materials holdings underperformed with the German chemical company Wacher Chemie and the French steel manufacturer ArcelorMittal among the holdings most impacted by the deteriorating outlook for global economic growth. The portfolio’s allocation to the financial sector underperformed with France’s BNP Paribas and Austria’s Erste Group Bank hit hard by the fallout from the worsening European sovereign debt crisis. Both of these holdings were disposed of during the period. Consumer staples also underperformed with

    5   

Brazil’s Hypermarcas and Britain’s Tesco being the most disappointing performers during the period.

The value portfolio managed by LSV outperformed the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net, USD) during the period. As their investment style is to maintain a country and sector-neutral bias, most of their positive relative results are based on stock selection, especially within industrials and consumer discretionary.

The core portfolio managed by Barings outperformed the MSCI World ex-US Index (Net, USD) during the period. They were able to generate positive relative performance from stock selection in a number of different areas. They added value in continental European equities, primarily from the decision not to own any continental European banks. Japanese stock selection also produced favorable results, primarily through their overweight positions in Unicharm (a consumer staples company), Rakuten (an internet company), and Daito Trust Construction. Finally, their underweight allocation to continental Europe itself added value.

The emerging markets portfolio managed by Parametric outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD) during the period. The main positive drivers in explaining their relative results were their structural underweight to Brazil and their overweight allocation to Thailand. Their underweight allocation to Korea and overweight exposure to Eastern European countries (Czech Republic, Poland, and Hungary, in particular) detracted slightly from relative returns.

The quantitative developed country large-cap portfolio managed by GSAM underperformed the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net, USD) during the period. GSAM’s quantitative CORE (Computer-Optimized, Research-Enhanced) investment philosophy is predicated on three ideas: fundamentals drive alpha, risk management helps add value, and lower trading costs mean higher portfolio returns. Returns based on their six investment themes on an overall basis were somewhat positive. The Momentum theme contributed the most on a positive basis, and the Valuation theme was the only one to detract from relative returns. However, stock selection within certain sectors negatively impacted relative performance as weak selection in consumer staples and materials more than offset good selection in consumer discretionary and financials.

The developed country large-cap value portfolio managed by DFA underperformed the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net, USD). DFA’s strategy to overweight high book-to-price stocks had a negative effect on relative performance. On a country basis, DFA experienced weak stock selection within Japan and continental Europe. At the sector level, they had weak stock selection within financials and consumer discretionary and somewhat positive stock selection within telecom and industrials.

WILMINGTON ROCK MAPLE ALTERNATIVES FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal period January 12, 2012 (commencement of operations) through ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 1.10%* for A Shares and 1.10%* for I Shares, versus its benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index**, which had a total return of 3.27% for the period January 12, 2012 through April 30, 2012.

Fund Highlights

The Fund commenced operations on January 12, 2012 but did not become fully invested until the end of January. Performance met objectives relative to the benchmark and the expectations of the portfolio management team. Manager cross correlation was low, and return attribution was well diversified from both a strategic and geographic standpoint.

Performance by Strategy

All of our equity long/short managers contributed during the fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, highlighted by strong gains from our mid-cap value team, where security selection, particularly in the retail sector, was rewarded. Catalyst-driven wins were numerous for our deep value manager and improved earnings trends helped our equity income-oriented manager. Our European-focused manager was modestly positive, though macro headwinds in March detracted from performance. A lack of mergers and acquisitions activity limited gains during the period in our event strategy. Higher equity prices and improved sentiment should help reverse this trend, and the manager noted an uptick in deal flow in March. Corporate credit allocations were consistently profitable, and we expect our short duration and event emphasis to continue to mute the potential impact of higher rates on the fund overall. The Fund’s options arbitrage allocation provided steady and uncorrelated returns, helping decrease volatility and downside risk for the fund. Losses for the global macro allocation were not unexpected given the manager’s bearish view and the role they designed to play in the portfolio.

Commentary & Outlook

The Fund’s equity long/short strategies are hedged using both single name and index positions, with the global macro allocation designed to function as a fund level overlay to hedge against fiscal and monetary imbalances that the portfolio managers feel have reached extremes. These hedge and short positions detracted from performance during what was the largest first quarter move in U.S. equity markets since 1998, but should dampen volatility and generate alpha under more normal conditions. The options arbitrage strategy is systemic and is continually rebalanced based on changing volatility patterns. (Volatility is currently low and the VIX forward curve is very steep.) Corporate credit strategies are oriented around refinancing and other “events,” but we expect to move toward a relative value positioning as we enter the next phase of the credit cycle.

VIX estimates expected volatility by averaging the weighted prices of S&P 500® puts and calls over a wide range of strike prices. As such, VIX does not serve as a benchmark for returns, but rather as an indication of opportunities that may be present in the marketplace when utilizing volatility-based, or volatility management, strategies.

Investments such as mutual funds which focus on alternative strategies are subject to increased risk and loss of principal and are not suitable for all investors. Diversification does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Any investment in the Fund should be part of an overall investment program rather than, in itself, a complete program. Because the Fund invests in underlying mutual funds or other managed strategies, an investor in the Fund will bear the management fees and operating expenses of the “Underlying Strategies” in which the Fund invests. The total expenses borne by an investor in the Fund will be higher than if the investor invested directly in the Underlying Strategies, and the returns may therefore be lower.

 

    The Fund, the Sub-Advisers, and the Underlying Strategies may use aggressive investment strategies, which are riskier than those used by typical mutual funds. If the Fund and Sub-Advisers are unsuccessful in applying these investment strategies, the Fund and you may lose more money than if you had invested in another fund that did not invest aggressively. The Fund is subject to risks associated with the Sub-Advisers making trading decisions independently, investing in other investment companies, using a particular style or set of styles, basing investment decisions on historical relationships and

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER REAL ASSET FUND

(formerly a series of the WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 2.04%* for A Shares and 2.31%* for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (hedged, USD) (Barclays World GILB Index)** and its Blended Index which had total returns of 8.31% and 3.82%, respectively. The Blended Index is currently a blend of 50% Barclays World GILB Index, 35% S&P Developed Property Index***, and 15% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (“DJUBSCI”)***. During the ten-month period, the Fund’s managers and investments added value, while tactical asset allocation decisions to underweight global inflation linked bonds (ILBs) and overweight commodity-related securities during the first four months of the fiscal period offset the added value.

The Fund maintained a 10% tactical underweight to global ILBs and a 10% overweight to commodity-related securities from July to October 2012, at which point the tactical shifts were removed and the Fund’s allocation was moved to a neutral stance reflecting the Fund’s blended benchmark weightings. In aggregate, the tactical tilts detracted from the Fund’s relative performance to the Blended Index during the fiscal period.

Over the ten-month fiscal period, real yields fell across most major developed ILB markets due to slower-than-expected economic growth. Despite inflation expectations (as measured by breakeven inflation) generally decreasing during the fiscal period, global ILBs, as measured by the Barclays World GILB Index gained 8.3%. The portfolio of global developed- and emerging-market ILBs managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”) outperformed its blended benchmark during this time (9.4% versus 8.5%). PIMCO’s blended benchmark consists of 85% Barclays World GILB Index and 15% Barclays Capital Emerging Market Government ILB Index***. PIMCO’s portfolio benefited from a variety of positions including underweight allocations to Italian and Argentine ILBs, a significant overweight to Australian ILBs, and an overweight to Brazilian ILBs, which were among the best performing emerging market ILBs as the Central bank of Brazil cut interest rates throughout the period. The portfolio of global, developed-market ILBs managed by HSBC Global Asset Management (“HSBC”) underperformed its benchmark during the period (7.6% versus 8.3% for the Barclays World GILB Index). HSBC’s portfolio trailed the Barclays World GILB Index primarily due to the portfolio’s underweight to duration, which had a negative impact on performance as real rates rallied during this period. An overweight to euro zone ILBs also detracted from performance as real rates increased in Europe until the beginning of November 2012.

Global real estate securities were up modestly during this time, as measured by the S&P Developed Property Index (up 2.6%). Underperformance of the European region (down -17.0%, as measured by the UBS Europe Real Estate Investors Index) pulled the index down as property companies in North America were up 12.0% (as measured by the UBS U.S. & Canada Real Estate Investors Index). The portfolio of global real estate securities managed by EII Realty Securities (“EII”) returned 2.6% during the ten-month period.

Relative to the S&P Developed Property Index’s 2.6% return, EII’s performance was helped by retail, self-storage, and apartment companies in North America, while investments in Europe and Hong Kong detracted from performance. The portfolio of global real estate securities managed by CBRE Clarion Securities (“CBRE”) outperformed the benchmark (3.2% versus 2.6%), primarily due to an underweight to the underperforming European region.

Finally, commodities, as measured by the DJUBSCI, were down -10.6% over the ten-month period. During this time, commodity returns were mixed, with unleaded gas faring the best (up 15.2%), while natural gas fared the worst (down -63.7%). The PIMCO CommodityRealReturn Fund (the “PIMCO Fund”) outpaced the DJUBSCI, returning -5.7%. The PIMCO Fund invests in derivative securities linked to commodity indices, while the collateral portion of the portfolio is actively managed by investing primarily in domestic ILBs in an attempt to add incremental returns, along with additional inflation hedging. The PIMCO Fund’s excess return, therefore, is primarily attributable to the collateral portfolio beating the return on T-Bills, which is the implied collateral return for the DJUBSCI. The Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (the “Credit Suisse Fund”) has a similar structure to the PIMCO Fund, but instead of investing the collateral primarily in domestic ILBs, it invests primarily in enhanced cash securities. During the ten-month period, the Credit Suisse Fund slightly trailed the DJUBSCI (-11.1% versus -10.6%). The Fund also had exposure to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Diversified (“DBLCIOY Diversified”) via exposure to the PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund which added value. During the period, the DBLCIOY Diversified outperformed the DJUBSCI by 800 basis points (-2.6% vs. -10.6%), helped primarily by its strategic underweights to natural gas and coffee (down -35.7% during the period) and overweights to unleaded gas, heating oil (up 7.9%), and crude oil (up 5.7%).

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION CONSERVATIVE FUND

(formerly known as Wilmington Conservative Asset Allocation Fund, a series of WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund (the “Fund”) returned 2.15%* for A Shares and 2.44%* for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Conservative Blended Index**, which returned 6.47% and 3.62%, respectively.

The Fund’s underperformance to its blended benchmark for the ten-month period ended April 30, 2012 can principally be traced to the asset allocation positioning of the Fund. In particular, an overweight position in international equity, and an underweight position in core bonds, detracted from relative performance in the period. A position in high-yield fixed income, which is not in the blended benchmark, and an overweight position in domestic equity, served to benefit relative performance in the period.

The performance of the active money managers who sub-advise portions of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests was generally in-line to slightly ahead of their respective benchmarks. The Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, which accounted for 7% of the assets of the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund at the end of the period, trailed the MSCI All-Country World ex-US Index by 266 basis points (-11.65% vs. -8.99%), and detracted from relative performance.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION MODERATE FUND

(formerly known as MTB Strategic Allocation Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -3.13%* for A Shares and -2.87%* for I Shares, versus its current benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index**, Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, and the Moderate Blended Index**, which had total returns of 3.40%, 7.54%, and -0.28%, respectively. Previously the Fund also compared itself to the S&P 500 Index*** which returned 4.76% for the fiscal year.

The Fund, which during the fiscal year was a blend of various types of domestic and international equity combined with various forms of domestic and international fixed income and inflation hedges lagged its indexes primarily due to two factors:

1. An overweight to international equities carried in the portfolio until late 2011 at a time when international equity markets underperformed domestic large cap equities; and

2. A shorter than benchmark duration and a globally diversified fixed income line-up, neither of which participated fully in the domestic intermediate bond markets’ surge during the 3rd quarter of 2011.

For much of the fiscal year, the target equity portion of the Fund represented approximately 65% of the portfolio, and within equities, our diversification into developed country and emerging markets international equities represented over 22% of the Fund’s allocation. Without exception, all of these international equity holdings finished the fiscal year in negative return territory. Compounding the Fund’s underperformance was an allocation to natural resource equities (average allocation of just over 4% during the year). This asset class also underperformed the Russell 3000 significantly for the fiscal year.

In the fixed income portion of the portfolio, the Fund contained allocations to several non-U.S. based and/or non-investment grade securities such as global high yield, developed and emerging market debt, and floating rate bank loans. During the particularly volatile summer months of 2011, when there was a broad ‘flight to quality’ (i.e., U.S. government dollar-denominated debt), these asset classes acted as a drag on this portion of the Fund’s return.

There were several small surgical and one large strategic rebalancing trades implemented during the fiscal year, as well as two large tactical allocation trades within the portfolio.

After a summer in which global stocks were sent reeling by bickering over the U.S. debt ceiling limit increase at home and fears over a Greek debt default abroad, we took advantage of relative value in global equity markets with a large strategic rebalance trade that brought our equity allocations back to their prescribed 64.4% weight. The timing of this move proved constructive for the portfolio as we bought more equity assets at what near what would prove to be the lows for the fiscal year.

In late autumn, the markets rallied on the ECB’s efforts to stabilize European banks that had exposure to troubled sovereign debt. On the heels of this rally, we implemented a ‘risk off’ trade in the Fund

to reduce exposure to equity markets that had proven increasingly beholden to global policy-makers decisions and missteps. In this trade, we reduced equity exposure to near 55% of the portfolio and lifted our cash component to 10%.

When the markets appeared to have stabilized and returned to trading off of fundamentals rather than the latest policy moves of government officials around the world, we redeployed over half of the portfolio’s cash allocation into hedges against unanticipated inflation, while preserving our underweight in equity. Within the fixed income portion of the Fund, we reduced our allocation to international developed market bonds and more than doubled our allocation to higher-yielding, U.S. dollar denominated, emerging market debt where country fundamentals and economic growth prospects appear more sound than in the developed world.

We continue to look for opportunities to add value in the fund, whether through over- or underweighting asset classes we feel are attractive or expensive, entering new asset classes like inflation hedges added late this past year, or through selecting underlying managers we believe have the ability to outperform.

We thank you for your continued investment in this Fund and look forward to a challenging, but rewarding year.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION AGGRESSIVE FUND

(formerly known as Wilmington Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund, a series of WT Mutual Fund)

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the ten-month fiscal period ended April 30, 2012, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.75%* for A Shares and -0.62%* for I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Russell 3000 Index**, MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index**, and the Aggressive Blended Index**, which returned 6.51%, -8.98%, and 0.31%, respectively.

The Fund’s underperformance for the ten-month period ended April 30, 2012 can be attributed to a combination of asset allocation positioning of the Fund, and sub-advisor performance in the period. Active positioning of the Fund, when compared with the blended benchmark weights, was maintained at a relatively modest level over a period that continued the risk-on risk-off pattern of recent years. Active positioning accounted for approximately one-third of the performance shortfall versus the blended benchmark. An early overweight to small-cap domestic equity, an underweight of inflation hedges, and a non-benchmark position in global natural resources equity tended to detract from relative performance. An overweight of domestic versus international equity, and a non-benchmark position in high-yield fixed income, contributed positively to relative performance.

The performance of the active money managers who sub-advise portions of the underlying funds in which the Aggressive Fund invests accounted for approximately two-thirds of the performance shortfall in the period. The Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, which accounted for 28% of the assets of the Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund at the end of the period, trailed the MSCI All-Country World ex-US Index by 266 basis points
(-11.65% vs. -8.99%), and accounted for the majority of the shortfall.

 

  * Performance data quoted represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The total return shown assumes the reinvestment of all distributions and does not
  reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of shares. The total return for A Shares was -6.18%, adjusted for the Fund’s maximum sales charge. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than what is stated. For the most recent month-end performance, please visit www.wilmingtonfunds.com or call 1-800-836-2211.

 

  ** The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. MSCI All Country World ex-US Index (ACWI ex-US) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the large-cap and mid-cap equity market performance of developed and emerging markets excluding the U.S. market. The MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index (ACWI IMI ex-US) is designed to also include the small-cap equity market performance which is not included in the ACWI ex-US. The ACWI ex-US and ACWI IMI ex-US Indices consisted of 45 country indices comprising 22 developed and 23 emerging market country indices. The Aggressive Blended Index is calculated by the investment advisor and represents the weighted returns for the following indices: 48% Russell 3000 Index; 32% MSCI All Country World ex-US Investable Market Index; 7% HFRX Global Index; 5% Barclays Capital World Government Inflation-Linked Bond Index (hedged USD); 3.5% S&P Global Developed Property Index; 1.5% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index; and 3% Citigroup 3-Month T-Bill Index.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.

Actual Expenses

This section of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for

Comparison Purposes

This section of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the Annualized Net Expense Ratio section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (concluded)

 

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $25,711,093. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $209,501. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $919,622 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $710,121.

# Portfolio pays the floating rate and receives the fixed rate.

 

## The Portfolio is a seller of protection, it receives the fixed rate. When a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

 

(a) Notional amount represents the maximum potential amount the Portfolio could be required to pay as a seller of credit protection or receive as a buyer of credit protection if a credit event occurs as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement.

 

(b) The fair value of credit default swap agreements on asset-backed securities and credit indices serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood of an expected liability (or profit) for the credit derivative should the notional amount of the swap agreement be closed/sold as of the reporting date. Increasing fair value in absolute terms, represents a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood of risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.

 

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      91   
1.   ORGANIZATION

Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”), formerly known as MTB Group of Funds, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 26 portfolios, 6 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as the “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 20 funds (1 of which is only made available to variable annuity contracts) are presented in separate reports.

 

Fund    Investment Goal
Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund* (“International Fund”)(d)    The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation primarily through a diversified portfolio of non-U.S. equity securities.
Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (“Rock Maple Alternatives Fund”)(d)    The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term growth of capital through consistent returns from investments that have a low correlation to traditional asset classes.
Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund* (“Real Asset Fund”)(d)    The Fund’s investment goal is to achieve long-term preservation of capital with current income.
Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund*
(“Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund”)(d)
   The Fund’s investment goal is to seek a high level of total return consistent with a conservative level of risk relative to other Wilmington Strategic Allocation Funds.
Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund
(“Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund”), formerly MTB Strategic Allocation Fund(d)
   The Fund’s investment goal is to seek a high level of total return consistent with a moderate level of risk relative to the other Wilmington Strategic Allocation Funds.
Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund*
(“Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund”)(d)
   The Fund’s investment goal is to seek a high level of total return consistent with an aggressive level of risk relative to other Wilmington Strategic Allocation Funds.

 

  (d)   Diversified

 

  *   Effective March 9, 2012, the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Conservative Asset Allocation Fund and Wilmington Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund, were reorganized into the Trust. For financial reporting purposes, the WT Funds’ financial and performance history prior to the reorganization has been carried forward and is reflected in the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the reorganization.

The Trust offers 7 classes of shares: A Shares, C Shares, Service Shares, Select Shares, Administrative Shares, I Shares and Institutional Shares. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held.

 

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Investment Valuation – Fair value of the Funds’ portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;

 

   

in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

   

futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair value;

 

   

forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices;

 

   

investments in open-end regulated investment companies are valued at net asset value (“NAV”);

 

   

price information on listed securities, including underlying Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF’s”) and Exchange Traded Notes (“ETN’s”), is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). In computing its NAV, the Funds value foreign securities using the latest closing price on the primary exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest

rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered material if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements. The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. The guidance establishes three tiers of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. The three tiers of inputs are summarized at the end of each Fund’s Portfolio of Investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose significant transfers between levels based on valuations at the beginning of the reporting period. Each portfolio may hold securities which are periodically fair valued in accordance with the Funds’ fair value procedures. This may result in movements between Levels 1, 2 and 3 throughout the period. As of April 30, 2012, there were no significant transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3 assets and liabilities, based on levels assigned to securities at the beginning of the period. This does not include transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 due to the Multi-Manager International Fund utilizing international fair value pricing during the period. Pursuant to the Funds’ fair value procedures noted previously, equity securities (including exchange traded securities and other open-end regulated investment companies) exchange traded derivatives (i.e. futures contracts and options) are generally categorized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Fixed income securities, non-exchange traded derivatives and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Investments for which there are no such quotations, or for which quotations do not appear reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

In May 2011, the International Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04, which includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable

inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

Repurchase Agreements – Repurchase agreements are transactions in which a Fund buys a security from a dealer or bank and agrees to sell the security back at a mutually agreed upon time and price. The repurchase price exceeds the sale price, reflecting the Fund’s return on the transaction. It is each Fund’s policy to require the counterparty to a repurchase agreement to transfer to the Funds’ custodian or sub-custodian eligible securities or cash with a market value (after transaction costs) at least equal to the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement. The eligible securities are transferred to accounts with the custodian or sub-custodian in which the Funds hold a “securities entitlement” and exercise “control” as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code. The Funds have established procedures for monitoring the market value of the transferred securities and requiring the transfer of additional eligible securities if necessary to equal at least the repurchase price. These procedures also allow the counterparty to require securities to be transferred from the account to the extent that their market value exceeds the repurchase price or in exchange for other eligible securities of equivalent market value.

The insolvency of the counterparty or other failure to repurchase the securities may delay the disposition of the underlying securities or cause the Funds to receive less than the full repurchase price.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Funds are informed of the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are recorded on an identified cost basis.

Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense.

All Funds offer multiple classes of shares. Investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, and certain fund-level expenses are allocated to each class based on relative daily net assets, except that each class bears certain expenses unique to that class such as distribution and shareholder services fees. Distributions are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential distribution rights; differences in per share distributions rates are generally due to differences in class specific expenses. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid to shareholders annually. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Accretion and Paydown Gains and Losses – All premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     93   

Federal Taxes – It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the Subchapter M provision of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income or excise tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes, on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Warrants and Rights – Certain Funds hold warrants and rights acquired either through a direct purchase, including as part of private placement, or pursuant to corporate actions. Warrants and rights entitle the holder to buy a proportionate amount of common stock at a specific price and time through the expiration dates. Such warrants and rights are held as long positions by the Funds until exercised, sold or expired. Equity-linked warrants are purchased in order to own local exposure to certain countries in which the Funds are not locally registered. Warrants and rights are valued at fair value in accordance with the Board of Trustee’s approved fair value procedures.

Foreign Currency Translation – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (“FCs”) are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rates of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Funds do not isolate that portion of results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

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

Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are securities that either (a) cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, or being able to take advantage of an exemption from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) are subject to contractual restrictions on public sales. In some cases, when a security cannot be offered for public sale without first being registered, the issuer of the restricted security has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many such restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Trustees. A Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resales. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Short Sales – Certain Funds may sell securities short. A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in market price. To sell a security short, the Fund must borrow the security. The Fund’s obligation to replace the security borrowed and sold short will be fully collateralized at all times by the proceeds from the short sale retained by the broker and by cash and securities deposited in a segregated account with the Fund’s custodian. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time the Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will realize a loss, and if the price declines during the period, the Fund will realize a gain. Any realized gain will be decreased, and any realized loss increased, by the amount of transaction costs. On ex-dividend date, dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense to the Funds.

Lending of Portfolio Securities – The Trust has entered into an agreement with their custodian whereby the custodian may lend securities owned by the Funds to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations. Any increase or decrease in the fair value of securities loaned and any interest or dividends earned on those securities during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. In exchange for lending securities under the terms of the agreement with their custodian, the Funds receive a lender’s fee. Fees earned by the Funds on securities lending are recorded as income. Loans of securities by the Funds are collateralized by cash, U.S. government securities or money market instruments that are maintained at all times in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the loaned securities plus a margin which varies depending on the type of securities owned. The custodian establishes and maintains the collateral in a segregated account. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.

Investments purchased with cash collateral are presented on the portfolios of investments under the caption “Cash Collateral Invested for Securities on Loan.”

As of April 30, 2012, the Funds listed below had securities with the following values on loan:

value caused by changes in prevailing interest rates, value of equities or foreign exchange rates, with respect to securities which the Fund currently owns or intends to purchase. A Fund’s principal reason for writing options is to realize, through receipt of premiums, a greater current return than would be realized on the underlying security alone. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as an asset. When a Fund writes an option, it receives a premium and an amount equal to that premium is recorded as a liability. The asset or liability is adjusted daily to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires unexercised, a Fund realizes a gain or loss to the extent of the premium received or paid. If an option is exercised, the premium received or paid is recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or the cost of the purchase in determining whether a Fund has realized a gain or loss. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid on effecting a closing purchase or sale transaction is also treated as a realized gain or loss. Gain or loss on purchased options is included in net realized gain or loss on investment transactions. Gain or loss on written options is presented separately as net realized gain or loss on options written. A Fund, as writer of options, may have no control over whether the underlying securities may be sold (called) or purchased (put). As a result, a Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. A Fund, as purchaser of over-the-counter options, bears the risk of the potential inability of the counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts – Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency commitments or foreign currency exchange transactions. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contract transactions to protect assets against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates or exchange control regulations. Purchased contracts are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies; whereas, contracts to sell are used to hedge the Fund’s securities against currency fluctuations. Risks may arise upon entering into these transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments and from unanticipated movements in security prices or foreign exchange rates. The foreign currency transactions are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the settlement date.

Futures Contracts – The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts to hedge their existing portfolios, manage cash flows, enhance yield and to potentially reduce transaction costs. Upon entering into a futures contract with a broker, the Fund is required to deposit in a segregated account a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities. Futures contracts are valued daily and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in a “variation margin” account. Daily, the Fund receives from or pays to the broker a specified amount of cash based upon changes in the variation margin account. When a contract is closed, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. Futures contracts have market risks, including the risk that the change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Swap Agreements – Certain Funds may enter into credit default, interest rate, total return and other forms of swap agreements. A swap agreement is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The swap agreements are valued daily at current market value and any change in value is included in the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. Payments received or paid by the Fund are recorded as realized gains or losses upon termination or maturity of the swap. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities. Swap agreements outstanding at period end, if any, are listed on the Schedule of Investments.

Interest rate swaps – Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between counterparties to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates, applied to a notional principal amount for a specified period. The Fund is subject to interest rate risk exposure in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use interest rate swaps to either maintain its ability to generate steady cash flow by receiving a stream of fixed rate payments or to increase exposure to prevailing market rates by receiving floating rate payments using interest rate swap contracts. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the discounted net value of the cash flows to be received from the counterparty over the contract’s remaining life. This risk may be mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty which may permit the Fund to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received; and by the receipt of collateral from the counterparty by the Fund, to cover the Fund’s exposure to the counterparty. However, there is no assurance that such mitigating factors are easily enforceable.

Credit default swap agreements – Credit default swap agreements involve one party making a stream of payments (referred to as the buyer of protection) to another party (the seller of protection) in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event for the referenced entity, obligation or index. As a seller of protection on credit default swap agreements, a Fund will generally receive from the buyer of protection a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap provided that there is no credit event. As the seller, a Fund would effectively add leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, a Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) pay a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a Fund is a buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, a Fund will either (i) receive from the seller of protection an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation, other deliverable obligations or underlying securities comprising the referenced index or (ii) receive a net settlement amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. Recovery values are estimated by market makers considering either industry standard recovery rates or entity specific factors and considerations until a credit event occurs. If a credit event has occurred, the recovery value is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the settlement value.

Credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default or other credit event. If a credit event occurs and cash settlement is not elected, a variety of other deliverable obligations may be delivered in lieu of the specific referenced obligation. The ability to deliver other obligations may result in a cheapest-to deliver option (the buyer of protection’s right to choose the deliverable obligation with the lowest value following a credit event). A Fund may use credit default swaps on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues to provide a measure of protection against defaults of the issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where a Fund owns or has exposure to the referenced obligation) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer’s default.

Credit default swap agreements on credit indices involve one party making a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a write-down, principal shortfall, interest shortfall or default of all or part of the referenced entities comprising the credit index. A credit index is a basket of credit instruments or exposures designed to be representative of some part of the credit market as a whole. These indices are made up of reference credits that are judged by a poll of dealers to be the most liquid entities in the credit default swap market based on the sector of the index. Components of the indices may include, but are not limited to, investment grade securities, high yield securities, asset-backed securities, emerging markets, and/or various credit ratings within each sector. Credit indices are traded using credit default swaps with standardized terms including a fixed spread and standard maturity dates. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if there is a default, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. The composition of the indices changes periodically, usually every six months, and for most indices, each name has an equal weight in the index. A Fund may use credit default swaps on credit indices to hedge a portfolio of credit default swaps or bonds, which is less expensive than it would be to buy many credit default swaps to achieve a similar effect. Credit default swaps on indices are benchmarks for protecting investors owning bonds against default, and traders use them to speculate on changes in credit quality. Implied credit spreads, represented in absolute terms, utilized in determining the market value of credit default swap agreements on corporate issues, sovereign issues of an emerging country or U.S. municipal issues as of period end are disclosed in the footnotes to the Schedules of Investments and serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. The implied credit spread of a particular referenced entity reflects the cost of buying/selling protection and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. For credit default swap agreements on credit indices, the quoted market prices and resulting values serve as the indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a Fund as a seller of protection could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. Notional amounts of each individual credit default swap agreements outstanding as of April 30, 2012 for which a Fund is the seller of protection are disclosed in the notes to the Schedules of Investments. These potential amounts would be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective referenced obligations, upfront payments received upon entering into the agreement, or net amounts received from the settlement of buy protection credit default swap agreements entered into by a Fund for the same referenced entity or entities.

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for income recognition on expiration of capital loss carryforwards, reclassification of ordinary loss to short-term gains, market discount reclass, partnership adjustments, REIT dividend reclasses, and discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities.

As of April 30, 2012, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the periods ended 2011, 2010, and 2009, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the period ended April 30, 2012, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

At April 30, 2012, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards which will reduce each Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gain on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Code and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

As a result of the tax-free transfer of assets described in Note 8 and 9 and to the extent unrealized gains and losses that existed at the time of the reorganization are realized, the capital loss carryforwards may further be limited for up to five years from the date of the reorganization.

The Funds used capital loss carryforwards as follows to offset taxable capital gains realized during the period ended April 30, 2012:

 

Fund   Capital Loss

International Fund   $ 12,666,152   
Real Asset Fund     4,435,348

The International Fund expired capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $29,752,863.

Under current tax regulations, capital losses on securities transactions realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. Post-October losses deferred to May 1, 2012 are as follows:

5.   ADVISORY FEES, SERVICING FEES, AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC”) (formerly Rodney Square Management Corporation) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) (formerly MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.) provides sub-advisory services to each of the Funds. Prior to March 12, 2012, WTIA served as the Investment Advisor of the Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund. WFMC and WTIA are wholly-owned subsidiaries of M&T Bank Corporation. For its services, the Funds pay WFMC an annual investment advisory fee, accrued and paid daily, based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as described below. WFMC, not the Funds, pays WTIA for its services.

The International Fund, Rock Maple Alternatives Fund and Real Asset Fund, utilize a multi-manager strategy, whereby WFMC allocates all or a portion of the Funds’ assets among a number of sub-advisors. WFMC engages Rock Maple Services, LLC (“Rock Maple”) to assist in the identification and selection of sub-advisors and in the portfolio construction process for the Rock Maple Alternatives Fund. For their services, the Funds pay Rock Maple and

each sub-advisor fees, accrued daily and paid monthly, as described below. Certain sub-advisors have entered into an agreement with WFMC to waive their fees to the extent that the fee calculation determined by taking into account similarly managed assets in the accounts of clients of WFMC or its affiliates results in a fee that is less than the fee calculation under the sub-advisory agreement.

WFMC and the Funds’ distributor and shareholder service providers have contractually agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse expenses through August 31, 2013 (August 31, 2012 with regard to the Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund), so that total annual fund operating expenses paid by the Funds (not including the effects of dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, or other extraordinary expenses expressed as an annualized percentage of average daily net assets), will not exceed the expense limitations set forth below.

7.   LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNY Mellon. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of 1.25% per annum over the greater of the

Federal Funds Rate or the overnight LIBOR Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.12% per annum on the daily unused portion. In addition, an upfront commitment fee of 0.02% was paid to BNY Mellon. The termination date of this LOC is March 11, 2013. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2012.

 

8.   REORGANIZATION

On January 13, 2010, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) which provided the transfer of all the assets of the MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Aggressive Growth, MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Moderate Growth and MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Conservative Growth, (the “Target Funds”) for shares of the MTB Strategic Allocation Fund (“Acquiring Fund”). Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on May 27, 2010 and the reorganization took place on June 11, 2010. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on June 11, 2010.

The purpose of this transaction was to combine the four Funds with the same Investment Manager and with substantially similar investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. Due to the small size of the Target Funds, and the comparatively better prospects for asset growth of the Acquiring Fund, it was believed that the shareholders best interests would be served by reorganizing the Target Funds into the Acquiring Fund.

For financial reporting purposes, the MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Moderate Growth was deemed to be the accounting survivor.

 

As such, the following information is presented as if the MTB Managed Allocation—Moderate Growth Fund acquired the MTB Managed Allocation—Conservative Growth Fund, the MTB Managed Allocation—Aggressive Growth Fund, and the MTB Strategic Allocation Fund:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     103   

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on May 1, 2010, the MTB Strategic Allocation Fund results of operations for the year ended April 30, 2011 would have been as follows:

 

Net investment income

   $ 674,489   

Net realized and unrealized gain on investments

     12,188,479   

Because the combined Funds have been managed as a single integrated fund since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenues and earnings of MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Aggressive Growth, MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Conservative Growth, and MTB Managed Allocation Fund—Moderate Growth, that have been included in Strategic Allocation’s Statement of Operations.

 

9.   REORGANIZATION – WT

On February 21, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) to transfer all of the assets of Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (“WT International Fund”), Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (“WT Real Asset Fund”), Wilmington Conservative Asset Allocation Fund (“WT Conservative Asset Allocation Fund”) and Wilmington Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund (“WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund”), each a series of WT Mutual Fund (collectively the “WT Funds”), in exchange for shares of the International Fund (“MTB International Fund”), Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (each an “Acquiring Fund”), respectively. The Reorganization is believed to be in the best interest of shareholders as combining the series of WT Funds and the Trust onto a single operating platform will create a larger fund family that will offer a broader range of investment options. Additionally, the Reorganization is believed to present the opportunity to achieve asset growth through combined distribution networks, to achieve economies of scale, and to operate with greater efficiency and lower overall costs. The shareholders of the WT Funds approved the Reorganization at a meeting on February 21, 2012 and the Reorganization took place on March 9, 2012. The Reorganization was treated as tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of each Acquiring Fund reflected the historical basis of the assets of each respective WT Fund as of the date of the Reorganization. WFMC and its affiliates bore the expenses related to the

Reorganization, except for brokerage fees and other transaction costs associated with the disposition and/or purchase of securities in contemplation of or as a result of the Reorganization.

In exchange for their shares (A Shares and Institutional Shares), shareholders of the WT Real Asset Fund, WT Conservative Asset Allocation Fund and WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund received an identical number of shares of the corresponding class (Class A Shares and Class I Shares) of the Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund, respectively, with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of their shares immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Real Asset Fund, Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund and Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund had no operations prior to March 9, 2012. Each WT Fund’s investment objectives, policies and limitations were similar or identical to those of the respective Acquiring Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the operating history of the WT Real Asset Fund, WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund and WT Aggressive Asset Allocation Fund prior to the Reorganization is reflected in each respective Acquiring Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights.

In connection with the Reorganization, the MTB International Fund revised its investment strategies so that they were identical to the investment strategies of WT International Fund. Additionally, the portfolio management team, portfolio composition and operating structure of the combined fund more closely resemble that of the WT International Fund. Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the WT International Fund’s operating history prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the International Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights. As such, the financial statements and financial highlights are presented as if the WT International Fund acquired the MTB International Fund, and reflect the issuance of 951,099 A Shares and 18,385,556 I Shares (formerly A Shares and Institutional Shares) of the WT International Fund, respectively, in exchange for 740,978 A Shares and 14,509,670 I Shares of the MTB International Fund with an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of such shares in the MTB International Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. The following additional information is as of the date of the Reorganization:

The financial statements of the International Fund reflect the operations of the WT International Fund for the period prior to the Reorganization and the combined fund for the period subsequent to the Reorganization. Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the International Fund that have been included in the combined fund’s Statement of Operations since the Reorganization was completed. Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on July 1, 2011, the proforma net investment income , net loss on investments and net decrease in net assets from operations for the fiscal period ended April 30, 2012 would have been $5,019,069, $(153,589,156) and $(148,570,086), respectively.

On August 21, 2009, the Conservative Asset Allocation Fund (the “Conservative Fund”) acquired all of the assets and liabilities of the Moderate Asset Allocation Fund (the “Moderate Fund”) in exchange for shares of the Conservative Fund, pursuant to an agreement and plan of

reorganization approved by the Board of Trustees and approved by the shareholders of the Moderate Fund. The Conservative Fund’s acquisition of the Moderate Fund was accomplished through the tax-free exchange of the outstanding shares of the Moderate Fund, 1,794,412 Institutional Shares and 953,809 A Shares, on August 21, 2009 (valued at $15,358,229 and $8,139,354, respectively) for 1,628,014 Institutional Shares and 864,369 A Shares of the Conservative Fund. The net assets and net unrealized depreciation of the Moderate Fund as of the close of business on August 21, 2009 were $23,497,583 and $(361,399), respectively. Prior to the acquisition on August 21, 2009, the Conservative Fund had net assets of $17,650,098. After the acquisition the Conservative Fund had net assets of $41,147,681.

 

10.   PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND

Risk Related to Investment in Underlying Funds – The investment performance of the Fund is affected by the investment performance of the underlying funds in which the Fund invests. The ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective depends on the ability of the underlying funds to meet their investment objectives and on the decisions of the Advisor, as investment advisor, regarding the allocation of the Fund’s assets among the underlying funds. There can be no assurance that the investment objective of the Fund or any underlying fund will be achieved. Through its investments in underlying funds, the Fund is subject to the risks of the underlying funds’ investments. Both the Fund and the underlying funds in which it invests bear fees and expenses, so an investment in the Fund may be subject to certain duplicate expenses.

 

11.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that, there are no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements through this date.

12.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund     15.78

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF

WILMINGTON FUNDS

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund and Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (six of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”), including the portfolios of investments, as of April 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of years or periods indicated therein. 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 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from the brokers were not received. 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 the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund and Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund at April 30, 2012, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS

Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement on Behalf of Each Fund

At in-person meetings held on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board, including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), approved an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, and WFMC (the “New Investment Advisory Agreement”). At the same meetings, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, also approved a sub-advisory agreement among the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, WFMC and WTIA (the “New Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the New Investment Advisory Agreement, the “New Agreements”).

The New Agreements relate to each of: the Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, Wilmington Prime Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Government Money Market Fund, Wilmington U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund, and Wilmington Tax-Exempt Money Market Fund (the “Group A Funds”); the Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund, and Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Group B Funds”); and the Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund (the “Alternatives Fund,” and, collectively with the Group A Funds and the Group B Funds, the “Funds”). Each Group A Fund has been a series of the Trust for a number of years, and on or about March 12, 2012, certain of the Group A Funds acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The shareholders of each Group A Fund as of January 6, 2012, approved the New Agreements. The Board established the Group B Funds at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and on or about March 12, 2012, each Group B Fund acquired the assets and liabilities of a corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund. The Board established the Alternatives Fund at the October 26 and December 9 meetings and the Alternatives Fund commenced operations on or about January 14, 2012.

Before considering the New Advisory Agreement and the New Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board requested and reviewed information relating to the New Agreements, which was provided by WFMC and WTIA. That information addressed, among other things: (i) the services to be performed; (ii) the size and qualifications of WFMC and WTIA’s portfolio management staff; (iii) any potential or actual material conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with WFMC and WTIA’s management of the Funds; (iv) how the Funds would be managed by WFMC and WTIA, including a general description of the investment decision making processes, sources of information and investment strategies; (v) investment performance information; (vi) results of independent audit and regulatory examinations, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted; (vii) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on WFMC or WTIA’s ability to service the Funds; and (viii) WFMC and WTIA’s internal program for ensuring compliance with applicable investment objectives, policies and practices of the Funds, and the federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. WFMC and WTIA provided written responses to the Board’s request for information, and also provided oral responses during the in-person meetings. The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel regarding the legal standards applicable to their review of the New Agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with independent legal counsel in executive session with respect to their review of the New Agreements and certain other considerations relevant to their deliberations on whether to approve the New Agreements.

At the meetings on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board determined that WFMC and WTIA had the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide satisfactory advisory services to each Fund, and that the advisory fees paid by each Fund, taking into account any applicable fee limitations and breakpoints, represent reasonable compensation to WFMC and WTIA. In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees gave attention to all information furnished, including information provided throughout the prior year by WTIA (formerly known as MTB Investment Advisors, Inc.) as investment advisor to the Group A Funds. The Trustees also noted that WFMC and WTIA are under the common control of M&T Bank Corporation, and that the officers and employees of WFMC overlap with the officers and employees of WTIA.

In making their decision to approve the New Agreements for each Fund, the Independent Trustees considered various factors, as described below, that they believed to be relevant in evaluating the New Agreements. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.

The Board considered that the New Agreements are substantially similar to the Trust’s previous investment advisory agreements with WTIA, which were approved for renewal at an in-person meeting held on September 14-15, 2011. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees therefore considered the many reports furnished to them during the year at regular Board meetings covering matters such as: the relative performance of the Group A Funds; compliance with the investment objectives, policies, strategies and limitations of the Group A Funds; and the compliance of management personnel with the numerous operational and compliance policies and procedures that were established by the Board. In the case of each Fund, the Trustees also considered WFMC and WTIA’s personnel who possess the experience to provide investment management services to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund employ a multi-manager approach through which the Funds rely

BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS     111   

on two or more sub-advisors to manage a portion of each Fund’s assets under the ongoing supervision of WFMC and WTIA. In the case of the Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund, which were established at the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees focused on the prior experience of WFMC and WTIA in overseeing the investment activities of sub-advisors that are not affiliated with WFMC and WTIA.

Based on the information provided by WFMC and WTIA, the Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by WFMC and WTIA supported the approval of the New Agreements.

Investment Performance.

The Board considered the overall investment performance of WFMC, WTIA and the Group A and Group B Funds, as well as the funds of the WT Mutual Fund for which WFMC previously served as investment advisor. Although the Trustees gave appropriate consideration to performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at Board meetings throughout the year, the Trustees also gave weight to their review of investment performance in connection with the approval of the New Agreements at the Board meetings held October 26 and December 9, 2011. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA, which showed each Group A Fund’s investment performance in comparison with its applicable peer group for the one-, five- and ten-year periods, as well as information about each Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark. With respect to the Group B Funds, the Trustees considered similar information about the performance of each series of the WT Mutual Fund that was merged into a corresponding Group B Fund. With respect to the Alternatives Fund, the Trustees considered hypothetical, pro-forma performance information for the Fund. The Board concluded that the performance information provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Comparative Expenses.

WFMC and WTIA represented to the Board that the aggregate contractual investment advisory fees for each Group A Fund would be the same as that previously charged to the Funds by WTIA. At its meeting on September 14-15, 2011, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements for each Group A Fund based upon, among other things, comparative information about the net advisory fee ratios and total expense ratios (after deduction for advisory fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of each Fund versus those of a group of funds selected as being similar to each Fund. The Trustees reviewed reports prepared by WFMC and WTIA which showed each Group B Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. The Trustees also reviewed reports prepared by WFMC which showed Alternatives Fund’s advisory fees and expenses in comparison with its applicable peer group. In that regard, the Trustees noted the unique nature of the Alternatives Fund, which uses multiple sub-advisors employing alternative investment strategies, as well as WFMC and WTIA’s contractual commitment to waive certain fees and reimburse expenses for the Fund.

At the October 26 and December 9 meetings, the Trustees concluded that the proposed advisory and sub-advisory fees to be paid to and the services to be provided by WFMC and WTIA supported approval of the New Agreements.

Management Profitability.

The Trustees also considered the profitability of the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA, noting the significant decreases in profitability for the Group A Funds over the last few years. The Trustees considered any direct or indirect revenues received by affiliates of WFMC and WTIA. Based on the information provided, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to WFMC and WTIA with respect to the Funds supported approval of the New Agreements.

Economies of Scale.

The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as each Fund grows, and whether the advisory and sub-advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered WFMC and WTIA’s assessments that under the current market conditions and based on the asset sizes of the Funds, and the existence of certain voluntary and contractual fee waivers, economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the investment advisory fees of the Funds.

Other Benefits.

The Trustees considered the “fall-out” or ancillary benefits resulting from the relationships among the Funds and WFMC and WTIA. In that regard, the Board considered the fees received by WFMC and WTIA and their affiliates for providing other services to the Funds under separate agreements. With respect to any soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that in selecting brokers, WFMC and WTIA must seek to obtain best execution of fund trades.

Conclusion.

After consideration of all the factors, taking into consideration the information presented at the meetings and deliberating in executive session with independent legal counsel outside of the presence of management personnel, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the New Agreements. The Board based its decision on the totality of the circumstances, including the factors identified above, and with a view to past and long-term considerations. Not all of the factors and considerations identified were relevant to each Fund, nor did the Board find any one of them to be determinative.

At in-person meetings held on October 26 and December 9, 2011, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved investment sub-advisory agreements among the Trust, WFMC and each of the following sub-advisors: (i) on behalf the International Fund, Acadian Asset Management, LLC; Dimensional Fund Advisors LP; Goldman Sachs Asset Management, L.P.; Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC; and Principal Global Investors LLC; (ii) on behalf of the Real Asset Fund, CBRE Clarion Securities LLC, EII Realty Securities, Inc.; Pacific Investment Management Company, LLC; and HSBC Global Asset Management (France); and (iii) on behalf of the Alternatives Fund, Acuity Capital Management, LLC; ADAR Investment Management, LLC; Calypso Capital Management, LP; Evercore Wealth Management, LLC; Madison Street Partners, LLC; Parametric Risk Advisors, LLC; Rock Maple Services, LLC (“Rock Maple”); TIG Advisors, LLC; Water Island Capital, LLC; and Whitebox Advisors LLC. Together, the International Fund, Real Asset Fund and Alternatives Fund are referred to as the “Sub-Advised Funds.” The Sub-Advised Funds’ agreements with the sub-advisors listed above are referred to as the “Sub-Advisory Agreements.”

Before meeting to determine whether to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board had the opportunity to review written materials provided by each of the sub-advisors and independent legal counsel to the Independent Trustees, which contained information to help the Board evaluate the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The materials generally included information regarding, among other things: (i) services performed or to be performed; (ii) the size and qualifications of each sub-advisor’s portfolio management staff; (iii) any potential or actual conflicts of interest which may arise in connection with a sub-advisor’s management of the relevant Fund; (iv) investment performance information; (v) results of any independent audit or regulatory examinations, including any recommendations or deficiencies noted; (vi) any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which may have a material impact on any sub-advisor’s ability to service the relevant Fund; and (vii) the sub-advisor’s internal program for ensuring compliance with applicable investment objectives, policies and practices, the federal securities laws and other regulatory requirements. The Board also considered the recommendations of management with respect to each sub-adviser.

The Independent Trustees received and reviewed a memorandum from independent legal counsel regarding the legal standards applicable to their review of the New Agreements, including the Sub-Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Independent Trustees consulted with independent legal counsel in executive session with respect to their review of the Sub-Advisory Agreements and certain other considerations relevant to their deliberations on whether to approve them.

In addition to the information provided by each sub-advisor as described above, the Trustees also considered all other factors they believed to be relevant to evaluating the Sub-Advisory Agreements, including the specific matters discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was controlling, and different Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.

The Trustees considered the services to be provided to each Sub-Advised Fund by each sub-advisor, including information about the education and experience of relevant personnel at each sub-advisor. With respect to the Alternatives Fund, WFMC engages WTIA and Rock Maple to assist in the identification and selection of sub-advisors and in the portfolio construction process. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the sub-advisors to each Sub-Advised Fund are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Investment Performance.

The Trustees reviewed information from the sub-advisors for the International Fund and Real Asset Fund reflecting the investment performance of their respective sub-advised portions of the corresponding series of the WT Mutual Fund (that was merged into the International Fund and Real Asset Fund, as applicable) for various time periods, and, as available, information about the performance of similarly managed accounts. Although the Alternatives Fund did not have historical performance, the sub-advisors to the Alternatives Fund, to the extent available, showed investment performance information for similarly managed pooled accounts and investment companies for various periods. The Board concluded, taking into account the recommendations of Fund management, that the information supported approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Comparative Expenses.

The sub-advisors provided information regarding sub-advisory fees and an analysis of these fees in relation to the delivery of services to the Sub-Advised Funds. The Trustees also reviewed information regarding fees charged by the sub-advisors to other similar clients, to the extent available, and evaluated any explanation provided by the sub-advisors as to differences in fees charged to the Sub-Advised Funds and other similarly managed accounts. The Trustees concluded that the amount of the sub-advisory fees to be paid to the sub-advisors was supported by the information provided.

Management Profitability.

The Board considered information about the profitability of the relationships among each Sub-Advised Fund and each sub-advisor. Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that each sub-advisor’s profitability supported approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale.

The Trustees also considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized relative to fee levels as each Sub-Advised Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Board considered WFCM and WTIA’s assessments that under the current market conditions and based on asset sizes of the Sub-Advised Funds, economies of scale were appropriately reflected in the fees to be paid to each sub-advisor.

Other Benefits.

The Trustees considered any ancillary benefit resulting from each sub-advisor’s relationship with the Sub-Advised Fund, including any soft-dollar arrangements. With respect to any soft-dollar arrangements, the Board noted that in selecting brokers, the sub-advisors must seek to obtain best execution of fund trades.

Conclusion.

Based on all of the above-mentioned considerations, and the recommendations of management, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, determined that approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund. After full consideration of these and other factors, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of independent counsel, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreements.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Policies regarding Pre-approval of Services.

The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Unless a type of service to be provided by the independent auditor has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require specific pre- approval by the Audit Committee.

Certain services have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of the general pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee will annually review the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee and may grant general pre-approval for such services. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee will not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.


Table of Contents

The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to its Chairman. The Chairman will report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee will designate another member with such pre-approval authority when the Chairman is unavailable.

AUDIT SERVICES

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee must approve any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, registered investment company (RIC) structure or other matters.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement specifically approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval for other Audit Services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Audit services, all other Audit services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

AUDIT-RELATED SERVICES

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company’s financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved certain Audit-related services, all other Audit-related services must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

TAX SERVICES

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor’s independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved certain Tax services, all Tax services involving large and complex transactions must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

ALL OTHER SERVICES

With respect to the provision of services other than audit, review or attest services the pre-approval requirement is waived if:

 

  (1) The aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any


Table of Contents

sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided;

 

  (2) Such services were not recognized by the registrant, the registrant’s adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and

 

  (3) Such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Audit Committee of the issuer and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Audit Committee or by one or more members of the Audit Committee who are members of the board of directors to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval to those permissible non-audit services classified as All Other services that it believes are routine and recurring services, and would not impair the independence of the auditor.

The SEC’s rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of prohibited non-audit services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

PRE-APPROVAL FEE LEVELS

Pre-approval fee levels for all services to be provided by the independent auditor will be established annually by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services exceeding these levels will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

PROCEDURES

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Principal Accounting Officer and/or Internal Auditor, and must include a joint statement as to whether, in their view, the request or application is consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.
