Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014. 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 investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

Compared to other animals, humans have an unparalleled ability to see what we wish to see. The tendency to interpret facts to suit our opinions is magnified in the financial arena. Most of the time economic data provides plenty of fodder for both bulls and bears.

We see enough positive news to argue that good times are about to roll...

 

   

Despite weather-driven speed bumps in January and February, U.S. nonfarm payrolls expanded by 2.37 million jobs in the year ended April 2014 - the strongest gain since the period ended April 2006. April 2014 hiring came in unexpectedly robust, with job growth of 288,000, the highest since January 2012. Payrolls rose an average of 202,000 per month over the last six months, and by the end of April 2014, had recovered to within 113,000 jobs of the all-time high set in January 2008.

 

   

Inflation remains under control. The Consumer Price Index for April 2014 was up 2.0% from a year earlier - the biggest year-over-year increase since July 2013 but below the 20-year average of 2.4%. Meanwhile, core CPI – excluding the volatile food and energy categories – was up 1.8% in April 2014, only slightly above the reading in previous months and also lower than the long-run average of 2.2%.

 

   

While retail sales came in below expectations in April 2014, strong February and March numbers suggest consumers have come out of hibernation. Job growth and the “wealth effect” from stock returns have set the stage for spending growth.

... and sufficient worrisome news to justify caution.

 

   

New-home sales have plummeted so far this year, while sales of existing homes have trended lower since last summer, even taking into account seasonal adjustments. Lenders have become more accommodating, yet credit remains fairly tight, as does the supply of homes.

 

   

Two popular measures of consumer confidence, indices maintained by the Conference Boardi and the University of Michiganii, have diverged somewhat in recent months. However, both indices report confidence fairly close to levels seen last summer despite improvements in the labor market, excellent stock returns, and an expanding economy. The early-May reading of the University of Michigan surveyii saw a 2.7% decline from April 2014 levels, while the consensus projected a 3.3% increase. One number does not a trend make, but the University of Michigan data can only be called disappointing.

ihttp://www.conference-board.org/

iihttp://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/

Many of the recent problems stem directly from the harsh winter weather we have endured which pushed first quarter GDP down by 1%. We expect that a rebound from this will take place in the second quarter which should be followed by a resumption of modest growth rates in the 2.5 to 3.0% range. Given this outlook, we expect to see stocks outperform bonds but fears of a major rise in interest rates is also probably overblown.

The Bond Markets

In the year ended April 30, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1 delivered a -0.26% return, with the majority of the bond market performing at a lackluster level. Blame Treasuries for the Aggregate Bond Index’s negative return, as the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index2 returned -1.59% for the year ended April. In contrast, Barclays indices for mortgage-backed, corporate, and municipal bonds all managed positive returns, albeit below 0.60%.

While the statements above are unequivocally accurate, investors who stop at the raw numbers will miss a big part of the picture - bond investors suffered their pain in 2013; so far, 2014 has proven friendlier.

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / April 30, 2014 (unaudited)


ii   

 

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 1.70% at the end of April 2013 and ended the year at 3.04%. By the end of April 2014, the T-bond yield had fallen to 2.67%, and as of May 28th it yielded 2.44%. Corporate bonds have traced similar, if less steep, paths. These yields reflect a solid recovery this year, which in turn tells us that the Federal Reserve’s tapering of bond purchases hasn’t had the deleterious effect some pundits projected.

On April 30, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee reduced its monthly bond purchases another $10 billion to $45 billion, down from $85 billion for most of last year. At this pace, the Fed may stop buying bonds before the end of 2014. While new Fed Chair Janet Yellen shocked the market in March when she said the Fed could start raising interest rates just six months after the end of quantitative easing3, subsequent statements suggest the central bank hasn’t set a hard target.

In recent months, the Fed has signaled expectations roughly in line with the consensus, which suggests the federal funds rate won’t rise until the second half of 2015. “Doves” continue to call the shots at the Fed, and it’s tough to predict how markets would react if the bankers changed their tone.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain Barclays indices performed as follows4:

    U.S. Aggregate

    Bond Index

The Stock Markets

Few investors who owned a diversified stock portfolio at the start of last May and held it through the end of April 2014 should complain. The S&P 500 Index8 of large-cap stocks returned 20.44% during that 12-month period. Most segments of the U.S. stock market shared in the wealth, with the small-cap Russell 2000 Index9 returning 20.50%.

Among large-cap stocks, growth slightly outperformed value. Smaller stocks showed more of a growth bias (Russell 2000 Growth Index10 up 21.46% versus 19.61% for the Russell 2000 Value Index11). But when your lagging group manages an annual return of more than 19%, you’ve enjoyed a good year.

Even foreign stocks provided investors with solid gains – at least in developed markets. The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index12 returned 9.76% over the last year, while the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index13 of large-cap and midcap stocks from developed markets returned 13.35%. However, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index14 delivered a -1.84% return.

Most of the stock gains racked up in the 12 months ended April 2014 came during the last eight months of 2013. The S&P 500 managed to set eight new all-time closing highs during the first four months of 2014, yet exited April up less than 3% from its level at the end of 2013. The sluggishness during this period has probably contributed to weakness in both consumer and investor sentiment.

The American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey for the week ending May 21st, 2014, found 43% of investors neutral on the stock market, well above the long-run average of 31%. While bullishness has risen and bearishness fallen in recent weeks, percentages for both extremes remain below typical levels. The unusually large number of “neutrals” bespeaks a lack of confidence in the market, feelings not unexpected given lackluster year-to-date returns.

With the U.S. stock market looking for leadership, investors should keep an eye out for groups making strong moves. A large pack of investors uncertain about the market’s direction can quickly transform into a stampede – in any direction.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

    S&P 500

    Index

 

Dow Jones

For more complete information, please download the Funds’ prospectus, which is 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.

All investments involve risk, including the 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.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

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.

WILMINGTON MONEY MARKET FUNDS

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Economic growth for the 12 month period ended March 31, 2014 was an unremarkable 2.3% as measured by the GDP (gross domestic product). The 1st quarter growth rate of 2014 was 0.1%, which suffered harshly from the cold weather’s negative impact on the economy. Expectations are that economic growth will pick up for the remainder of 2014 as the weather improves. The labor market continued to heal from the financial crisis. For the past fiscal year, the unemployment rate fell from 7.5% to 6.3% the lowest level since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. The economy produced approximately 200,000 jobs per month which was a slight improvement from the prior year. While housing prices continued to move higher, new home sales slowed as higher mortgage rates and higher prices caused housing affordability to decline. Auto sales were the strongest since 2007 as consumer confidence continued to increase.

Inflation remained below the Federal Reserves’ (the “Fed”) speed limit of 2%; the core consumer price index is up 1.8% for the past year. Wage growth also remains anemic, increasing at only a 2% annualized rate over the past year as there are more workers than jobs to go around.

The Fed was the catalyst for higher long-term interest rates as former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke announced in May of 2013 that the Fed could begin tapering its asset purchase program in the fall of 2013. The Fed’s Open Markets Committee (FOMC) statement from their June meeting acknowledged that “the downside risks to the outlook for the economy and labor market as having diminished.” The Fed began to taper its purchases in December 2013 and has continued to reduce its purchases at each subsequent meeting. Currently, the Fed is purchasing $45 billion of securities per month, down from a peak of $85 billion per month. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, intermediate interest rates are approximately one percent higher than where they started the fiscal year. The 10 year treasury yield at April 30 was 2.67%. The 2 year treasury yield rose only 0.2% during the same period to a yield of 0.42%.

The short end of the yield curve, however, remains anchored by the Fed’s commitment to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy. At its April 2014 meeting, the FOMC reaffirmed its view that a highly accommodative stance of monetary policy remains appropriate and that they anticipate that even after inflation and employment target are reached, that a below level target federal funds rate may be warranted for some time. Market indicators project the Fed to begin the normalization process in the latter half of 2015.

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to pick up from the weather induced slowdown of the calendar quarter ended March 31, 2014. We also expect inflation to remain benign and the Fed to continue to taper its asset purchase program and conclude its purchases by December, 2014. With respect to interest rates, we expect them to move higher in anticipation of the Fed raising short-term interest rates in the latter half of 2015 or in 2016.

On the regulatory front, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) continues its work on finalizing changes for money market funds. The SEC is considering two alternatives that can either stand alone or be combined. One alternative would allow

funds to offer a stable net asset value (NAV) but allow the imposition of liquidity fees and redemption gates. The second alternative would require prime and institutional tax-exempt funds to use a floating NAV. We expect the SEC to finalize regulatory changes sometime this summer. Regardless, we expect a long implementation period since the final rule changes are likely to significantly impact the structure and dynamics of money market funds.

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, 2014, Wilmington Funds Management Corporation 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, and, effective November 26, 2013, to prevent the Funds’ (or a class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below zero. 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, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

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 are 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.

The remaining 19 funds are presented in separate reports.

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.

Computation of Net Asset Value – It is each Fund’s policy to maintain a continuous net asset value of $1.00 per share for each class. Each Fund has adopted certain investment, portfolio valuation and dividend and distribution policies to enable it to do so. There is no assurance, however, that each Fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. The net asset value (‘‘NAV’’) per share for each of the Funds is computed by dividing the total current value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of shares outstanding at the time of such computation. Each Fund’s NAV per share is computed as of 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on days when the NYSE is open for regular trading and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (the ‘‘Fed’’) is open. In addition, the Funds may elect, in their discretion if it is determined to be in shareholders’ best interests, to be open on days when the NYSE is open but the Fed is closed or to be open on days when the Fed is open but the NYSE is closed, except for Good Friday.

Investment Valuation – The Funds use the amortized cost method to value their portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

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 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, 2014, there were no 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, fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)   32

 

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.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1) Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. 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. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis 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 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 daily and paid monthly.

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.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year or period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

 

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2014

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.

 

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 the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, net investment losses and distributions recognition on income distribution payable. GAAP requires that permanent differences in net investment income and realized gains and losses due to differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets and have no effect on the net assets nor the NAV of the Funds.

As of April 30, 2014, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition or disclosure. The Funds’ federal tax returns filed for the years ended 2013, 2012 and 2011, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, there were no permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets.

The tax character of distributions for the corresponding years as reported on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are 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, 2014, 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 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 Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to defer taxable ordinary income losses incurred after December 31 and treat as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. At April 30, 2014, the Funds had no Post-October or Late Year losses to defer.

 

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

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. 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.

Prior to November 26, 2013, WFMC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or reimburse each of the Fund’s operating expenses, or certain “class-specific fees and expenses” to prevent each Fund’s (or class thereof, as applicable) current annualized yield from being below 0.01% (1 basis point) annually. Effective November 26, 2013, WFMC has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee and/or reimburse each of the Fund’s operating expenses, and/or certain class-specific fees and expenses, in an effort to maintain the current yield for each share class of the Funds at or above 0.00%. The fee waiver does not take into consideration acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes or extraordinary items. Any such waiver or expense reimbursement may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.

Administrative Fee – The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) provides the Trust with fund administration services. WFMC in its role as co-administrator provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services necessary to operate the Funds. These services were provided for at an aggregate annual fee as specified below.

WFMC may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. WFMC can modify or terminate its voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion. For the year ended April 30, 2014, WFMC did not waive any administrative personnel and services fee.

Distribution Services Fee – The Trust has adopted a Distribution Services Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan allows the Funds to pay fees to financial intermediaries, which may be paid through ALPS Distributors, Inc. (“ALPS”), the principal distributor, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Administrative Class and Service Class for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and record keeping of these shares.

The Trust may reduce the maximum amount of distribution services fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates), may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, no affiliates of the Advisor received these fees.

M&T, an affiliate of the Advisor, has entered into a Shareholders Services Agreement with ALPS, under which it is entitled to receive up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s shares for whom M&T provides shareholder services. The Funds may reduce the maximum amount of shareholder service fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion.

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, including the portfolios of investments, of the 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 (four of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and 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, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 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, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 We may share information when it is required or permitted by law. For example, information may be shared in response to a subpoena or to protect you against fraud or with someone who has established a legal beneficial interest, such as a power of attorney.

 

 We may disclose some or all of the information described above to companies that perform marketing or other services on our behalf. For example, we may share information about you with the financial intermediary (bank, investment bank or broker-dealer) through whom you purchased the Funds’ products or services, or with providers of marketing, legal, accounting or other professional services. The Funds will not, however, disclose a consumer’s account number or similar form of access number or access code for credit card, deposit or transaction accounts to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail or other marketing purposes.

Except as described above, the Funds do not share customer information. We will not rent, sell, trade, or otherwise release or disclose any personal information about you. Any information you provide to us is for the Funds’ use only. If you decide to close your account(s) or become an inactive customer, we will adhere to the privacy policies and practices as described in this notice.

Information Security:

When the Funds share nonpublic customer information with third parties hired to facilitate the delivery of certain products or services to our customers, such information is made available for limited purposes and under controlled circumstances designed to protect our customers’ privacy. We require third parties to comply with our standards regarding security and confidentiality of such information. We do not permit them to use that information for their own or any other purposes, or rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose the information to any other party. These requirements are reflected in written agreements between the Funds and the third party service providers.

The Funds protect your personal information in several ways. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

Each of the following sections explains an aspect of the Funds’ commitment to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.

Employee Access to Information:

Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of customer information and requires that it be held in the strictest of confidence. Employee access to customer information is authorized for business purposes only, and the degree of access is based on the sensitivity of the information and on an employee’s or agent’s need to know the information in order to service a customer’s account or comply with legal requirements.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of the Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014. 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 investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

Compared to other animals, humans have an unparalleled ability to see what we wish to see. The tendency to interpret facts to suit our opinions is magnified in the financial arena. Most of the time economic data provides plenty of fodder for both bulls and bears.

We see enough positive news to argue that good times are about to roll …

 

   

Despite weather-driven speed bumps in January and February, U.S. nonfarm payrolls expanded by 2.37 million jobs in the year ended April 2014 – the strongest gain since the period ended April 2006. April 2014 hiring came in unexpectedly robust, with job growth of 288,000, the highest since January 2012. Payrolls rose an average of 202,000 per month over the last six months, and by the end of April 2014, had recovered to within 113,000 jobs of the all-time high set in January 2008.

 

   

Inflation remains under control. The Consumer Price Index for April 2014 was up 2.0% from a year earlier – the biggest year-over-year increase since July 2013 but below the 20-year average of 2.4%. Meanwhile, core CPI – excluding the volatile food and energy categories – was up 1.8% in April 2014, only slightly above the reading in previous months and also lower than the long-run average of 2.2%.

 

   

While retail sales came in below expectations in April 2014, strong February and March numbers suggest consumers have come out of hibernation. Job growth and the “wealth effect” from stock returns have set the stage for spending growth.

… and sufficient worrisome news to justify caution.

 

   

New-home sales have plummeted so far this year, while sales of existing homes have trended lower since last summer, even taking into account seasonal adjustments. Lenders have become more accommodating, yet credit remains fairly tight, as does the supply of homes.

 

   

Two popular measures of consumer confidence, indices maintained by the Conference Boardi and the University of Michiganii, have diverged somewhat in recent months. However, both indices report confidence fairly close to levels seen last summer despite improvements in the labor market, excellent stock returns, and an expanding economy. The early-May reading of the University of Michigan surveyii saw a 2.7% decline from April 2014 levels, while the consensus projected a 3.3% increase. One number does not a trend make, but the University of Michigan data can only be called disappointing.

ihttp://www.conference-board.org/

iihttp://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/

Many of the recent problems stem directly from the harsh winter weather we have endured which pushed first quarter GDP down by 1%. We expect that a rebound from this will take place in the second quarter which should be followed by a resumption of modest growth rates in the 2.5 to 3.0% range. Given this outlook, we expect to see stocks outperform bonds but fears of a major rise in interest rates are also probably overblown.

The Bond Markets

In the year ended April 30, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1 delivered a -0.26% return, with the majority of the bond market performing at a lackluster level. Blame Treasuries for the Aggregate Bond Index’s negative return, as the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index2 returned -1.59% for the year ended April. In contrast, Barclays indices for mortgage-backed, corporate, and municipal bonds all managed positive returns, albeit below 0.60%.

While the statements above are unequivocally accurate, investors who stop at the raw numbers will miss a big part of the picture – bond investors suffered their pain in 2013; so far, 2014 has proven friendlier.

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / April 30, 2014 (unaudited)


ii   

 

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 1.70% at the end of April 2013 and ended the year at 3.04%. By the end of April 2014, the T-bond yield had fallen to 2.67%, and as of May 28th it yielded 2.44%. Corporate bonds have traced similar, if less steep, paths. These yields reflect a solid recovery this year, which in turn tells us that the Federal Reserve’s tapering of bond purchases hasn’t had the deleterious effect some pundits projected.

On April 30, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee reduced its monthly bond purchases another $10 billion to $45 billion, down from $85 billion for most of last year. At this pace, the Fed may stop buying bonds before the end of 2014. While new Fed Chair Janet Yellen shocked the market in March when she said the Fed could start raising interest rates just six months after the end of quantitative easing3, subsequent statements suggest the central bank hasn’t set a hard target.

In recent months, the Fed has signaled expectations roughly in line with the consensus, which suggests the federal funds rate won’t rise until the second half of 2015. “Doves” continue to call the shots at the Fed, and it’s tough to predict how markets would react if the bankers changed their tone.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain Barclays indices performed as follows4:

    U.S. Aggregate    
Bond Index
    Barclays

  -0.26%                -1.59%                0.59%                    0.41%                0.50%         

The Stock Markets

Few investors who owned a diversified stock portfolio at the start of last May and held it through the end of April 2014 should complain. The S&P 500 Index8 of large-cap stocks returned 20.44% during that 12-month period. Most segments of the U.S. stock market shared in the wealth, with the small-cap Russell 2000 Index9 returning 20.50%.

Among large-cap stocks, growth slightly outperformed value. Smaller stocks showed more of a growth bias (Russell 2000 Growth Index10 up 21.46% versus 19.61% for the Russell 2000 Value Index11). But when your lagging group manages an annual return of more than 19%, you’ve enjoyed a good year.

Even foreign stocks provided investors with solid gains – at least in developed markets. The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index12 returned 9.76% over the last year, while the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index13 of large-cap and midcap stocks from developed markets returned 13.35%. However, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index14 delivered a -1.84% return.

Most of the stock gains racked up in the 12 months ended April 2014 came during the last eight months of 2013. The S&P 500 managed to set eight new all-time closing highs during the first four months of 2014, yet exited April up less than 3% from its level at the end of 2013. The sluggishness during this period has probably contributed to weakness in both consumer and investor sentiment.

The American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey for the week ending May 21st, 2014, found 43% of investors neutral on the stock market, well above the long-run average of 31%. While bullishness has risen and bearishness fallen in recent weeks, percentages for both extremes remain below typical levels. The unusually large number of “neutrals” bespeaks a lack of confidence in the market, feelings not unexpected given lackluster year-to-date returns.

With the U.S. stock market looking for leadership, investors should keep an eye out for groups making strong moves. A large pack of investors uncertain about the market’s direction can quickly transform into a stampede – in any direction.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

    S&P 500  
    Index  
    Dow Jones
    Industrial Average15    
    NASDAQ
    Composite Index16

For more complete information, please download the Funds’ prospectus which is available on 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.

All investments involve risk, including the 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.

High yield, lower-rated securities generally entail greater market, credit and liquidity risks than investment grade securities and may include higher volatility and higher risk of default.

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.

WILMINGTON BROAD MARKET BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.03%* for Class A Shares and 0.16%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index**, which had a total return of -0.26%, and its peer group, the Lipper Corporate A-Rated Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of -0.26%.

The bond market suffered its worst year since 1994 as interest rates rose, the economy continued to recover and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began to taper its quantitative easing program. The corporate bond market continued to be a bright spot as investors sought higher yielding securities to lessen the pain of higher interest rates. For 2013, the corporate bond market posted its 4th best year as measured by excess return over U.S. Treasuries.

Economic growth for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2014 was an unremarkable 2.3% as measured by the GDP (gross domestic product). The 1st quarter of 2014 growth rate was 0.1%, which suffered harshly from the cold weather’s negative impact on the economy. Expectations are that economic growth will pick up for the remainder of 2014 as the weather improves. The labor market continued to heal from the financial crisis. For the past fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the unemployment rate fell from 7.5% to 6.3%, the lowest level since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. The economy produced approximately 200,000 jobs per month, which was a slight improvement from the prior year. While housing prices continued to move higher, new home sales slowed as higher mortgage rates and higher prices caused housing affordability to decline. Auto sales were the strongest since 2007 as consumer confidence continued to increase.

Inflation remained below the Fed’s speed limit of 2%; the core consumer price index is up 1.8% for the past year. Wage growth also remains anemic, increasing at only a 2% annualized rate over the past year as there are more workers than jobs to go around.

The Fed was the catalyst for higher interest rates as former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke announced in May of 2013 that the Fed could begin tapering its asset purchase program in the fall of 2013. The Fed’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement from their June meeting acknowledged that “the downside risks to the outlook for the economy and labor market as having diminished.” The Fed began to taper its purchases in December 2013 and has continued to reduce its purchases at each subsequent meeting. Currently, the Fed is purchasing $45 billion of securities per month, down from a peak of $85 billion per month. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, intermediate interest rates are approximately one percent higher than where they started the fiscal year. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield at April 30 was 2.67%. The 2-Year U.S. Treasury yield rose only 0.2% during the same period to a yield of 0.42%. The short end of the yield curve remains anchored by the Fed’s commitment to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy and a low Federal Funds rate, for some time after the Fed completes its asset purchase program.

The corporate bond market continued to benefit as investors sought higher yields. The average risk premium, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Corporate Bond Index declined by 34 basis points to 101 basis

points for the average investment grade bond over the past fiscal year. For the 2nd consecutive year, the market absorbed record issuance. In September 2013, Verizon issued a record $49 billion of bonds to finance its purchase of the portion of Verizon Wireless that it did not already own from Vodafone. The prior record corporate bond issuance came from Apple and totaled only $17 billion.

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to pick up from the weather induced slowdown of the quarter ended March 31, 2014. We also expect inflation to remain benign and the Fed to continue to taper its asset purchase program and conclude its purchases by December 2014. With respect to interest rates, we do expect them to move higher in anticipation of the Fed raising short-term interest rates in either 2015 or in 2016.

The Fund’s outperformance can be attributed to the decision to remain overweight with respect to the corporate sector of the bond market. One of the Fund’s guiding philosophies is to construct a portfolio with a higher yield than the benchmark. By having a larger allocation to the higher yielding corporate sector, the Fund was able to achieve this goal. The Fund also maintained an underweight allocation to the mortgage backed sector given that the Fed was reducing their purchases of these securities under their quantitative easing policy. The significance of the Fed buying less is that private investors must replace the Fed’s buying and we expect these investors to require a higher yield than the Fed. Over the past year, the corporate sector provided more excess returns than the mortgage backed sector. Thus, the decision to overweight the corporate sector while underweighting the mortgage sector aided performance.

Although the Fund maintained a slightly shorter average maturity for the portfolio versus the benchmark as interest rates rose last year, this strategy provided only minimal benefits. We did not want to be much shorter than the benchmark’s duration given the yield advantage provided by the steepness of the yield curve.

Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in short-term interest rates could cause a decline in bond prices.

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding the financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

GDP (gross domestic product) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country’s borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis. It includes all of private and public consumption, government outlays, investments and exports less imports that occur within a defined territory.

Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure that examines the weighted average of prices of a basket of consumer goods and services, such as transportation, food and medical care. The CPI is calculated by taking price changes for each item in the predetermined basket of goods and averaging them; the goods are weighted according to their importance. Changes in CPI are used to assess price changes associated with the cost of living.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

The Barclays U.S. Corporate Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. It includes USD-denominated securities publicly issued by U.S. and non-U.S. industrial, utility, and financial issuers that meet specified maturity, liquidity, and quality requirements.

Basis Points (BPS) is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indices and the yield of a fixed-income security.

WILMINGTON INTERMEDIATE-TERM BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Intermediate-Term Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.40%* for Class A Shares, and -0.09%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of -0.24% and its peer group, the Lipper Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 0.24%.

With respect to interest rates, we do expect them to move higher in anticipation of the Fed raising short-term interest rates in either 2015 or in 2016.

The outperformance of the Fund relative to the benchmark can primarily be attributed to the Fund’s overweight position in corporate bonds. Throughout the fiscal year, the Fund maintained a higher allocation to credit than the benchmark index. Excess returns for the Barclays U.S. Credit Index were a strong 1.19% over the fiscal year. Excess returns for credit were driven by the 5-10 year segment of the yield curve, significantly outperforming the 1-5 year segment. This was a modest drag on the Fund’s performance given the overweight to credit was heaviest in the 1-5 year part of the yield curve.

WILMINGTON SHORT-TERM CORPORATE BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Short-Term Corporate Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 0.68%* for Class A Shares and 0.90%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index**, which had a total return of 0.69%, and its peer group, the Lipper Short Investment Grade Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of 0.58%.

The bond market suffered its worst year since 1994 as interest rates rose, the economy continued to recover and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began to taper its quantitative easing program. The corporate bond market continued to be a bright spot as investors sought higher yielding securities to lessen the pain of higher interest rates.

With respect to interest rates, we do expect them to move higher in anticipation of the Fed raising short-term interest rates in either 2015 or in 2016.

Over the course of the last year, the Fund continued to overweight higher yielding sectors of the investment grade corporate bond universe as the global search for yield continued unabated. The Fund maintained a high allocation to the finance sector versus the industrial and utility sectors relative to the Fund’s benchmark. This overweight was initiated given our expectation that the finance sector would revert to trading more expensively than its industrial counterpart; a trend that we viewed temporarily broken after the financial crisis. The Fund’s overweight in the finance sector was expressed by allocations to regional banks, insurance companies, and Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Towards the end of the fiscal year, the Fund began to overweight bonds with maturities greater than three years as well as overweight investment grade floating rate notes (FRNs), anticipating a flatter yield curve. Concurrently, the Fund began to underweight the two years portion of the yield curve. This activity resulted in a “barbelled” portfolio structure. The Fund’s overweight in higher yielding corporates as well as the “barbelled” portfolio structure added to its outperformance. Over the course of the year, the Fund maintained a duration posture that was slightly shorter versus the benchmark index, as we anticipated a higher interest rate environment. Going forward, we expect a higher interest rate environment as well as a flatter yield curve. Therefore, we expect to continue to increase our allocation to FRNs, as well as to position the Fund’s portfolio in such a way as to benefit from a flatter yield curve.

WILMINGTON SHORT DURATION GOVERNMENT BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Short Duration Government Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.47%* for Class A Shares, and -0.21%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Barclays Capital 1-3 Year U.S. Government Bond Index**, which had a total return of 0.43%, and its peer group, the Lipper Short U.S. Government Bond Funds Average***, which had a total return of -0.18%.

The bond market suffered its worst year since 1994 as interest rates rose, the economy continued to recover and the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) began to taper its quantitative easing program. The corporate bond market continued to be a bright spot as investors sought higher yielding securities to lessen the pain of higher interest rates. For 2013, the corporate bond market posted its 4th best year as measured by excess return over U.S. Treasuries.

Economic growth for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2014 was an unremarkable 2.3% as measured by the GDP (gross domestic product). The 1st quarter of 2014 growth rate was 0.1%, which suffered harshly from the cold weather’s negative impact on the economy. Expectations are that economic growth will pick up for the remainder of 2014 as the weather improves. The labor market continued to heal from the financial crisis. For the past fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the unemployment rate fell from 7.5% to 6.3%, the lowest level since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008. The economy produced approximately 200,000 jobs per month, which was a slight improvement from the prior year. While housing prices continued to move higher, new home sales slowed as higher mortgage rates and higher prices caused housing affordability to decline. Auto sales were the strongest since 2007 as consumer confidence continued to increase.

Inflation remained below the Fed’s speed limit of 2%; the core consumer price index is up 1.8% for the past year. Wage growth also remains anemic, increasing at only a 2% annualized rate over the past year as there are more workers than jobs to go around.

The Fed was the catalyst for higher interest rates as former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke announced in May of 2013 that the Fed could begin tapering its asset purchase program in the fall of 2013. The Fed’s Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement from their June meeting acknowledged that “the downside risks to the outlook for the economy and labor market as having diminished.” The Fed began to taper its purchases in December 2013 and has continued to reduce its purchases at each subsequent meeting. Currently, the Fed is purchasing $45 billion of securities per month, down from a peak of $85 billion per month. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, intermediate interest rates are approximately one percent higher than where they started the fiscal year. The 10-Year U.S. Treasury yield at April 30 was 2.67%. The 2-Year U.S. Treasury yield rose only 0.2% during the same period to a yield of 0.42%. The short end of the yield curve remains anchored by the Fed’s commitment to maintain a highly accommodative monetary policy and a low Federal Funds rate, for some time after the Fed completes its asset purchase program.

The corporate bond market continued to benefit as investors sought higher yields. The average risk premium, as measured by the Barclays

U.S. Corporate Bond Index declined by 34 basis points to 101 basis points for the average investment grade bond over the past fiscal year. For the 2nd consecutive year, the market absorbed record issuance. In September 2013, Verizon issued a record $49 billion of bonds to finance its purchase of the portion of Verizon Wireless that it did not already own from Vodafone. The prior record corporate bond issuance came from Apple and totaled only $17 billion.

Looking forward, we expect economic growth to pick up from the weather induced slowdown of the quarter ended March 31, 2014. We also expect inflation to remain benign and the Fed to continue to taper its asset purchase program and conclude its purchases by December 2014. With respect to interest rates, we do expect them to move higher in anticipation of the Fed raising short-term interest rates in either 2015 or in 2016.

The Fund’s underperformance over the past fiscal year can be attributed to the decision to maintain an allocation to the higher yielding 3 - 5 year portion of the yield curve. As interest rates rose last year, these securities underperformed shorter maturity securities. Offsetting some of this underperformance was the Fund’s allocation to the higher yielding mortgage backed sector which provided excess return even with the Fed reducing its purchases under its quantitative easing program. The Fund also maintained a shorter duration strategy which aided performance slightly as interest rates rose last year.

WILMINGTON MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 0.37%* for Class A Shares and 0.55%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index**, which had a total return of 0.97%, and its peer group, the Lipper Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of -0.15%.

In 2013, municipal bond performance varied depending on investors’ position on the yield curve and portfolios’ geographic exposure. On the whole, municipals delivered at best tepid performance. Going into calendar year-end, investors seemed to be recovering from a dismal summer.

The first two months of 2014 produced remarkable returns, as the yield on the S&P Municipal Bond Index fell to 2.84% by the end of February from 3.31% at the beginning of the year. The broad index produced total returns of 2.11% and 1.26% in January and February, respectively, with price gains accounting for the bulk of those numbers. In March, the S&P Municipal Bond Index’s yield rose only three basis points (0.03%). Despite the slight rise, the benchmark produced a 0.13% return. In April, yields reestablished their downward march, with the S&P Municipal Bond Index ending the fiscal year at 2.71%. This downward march produced another month of strong performance for the S&P Municipal Bond Index at 1.20% and a 2014 year-to-date total return of 4.78%. Moreover, the robust start to 2014 lifted the index’s trailing 12-month performance into positive territory with a 0.47% return. Our benchmark Intermediate index also delivered unusually strong performance, with a 3.62% 2014 year-to-date return and a 0.97% return over the trailing 12-month period.

A slowdown in new issuance served as support in the early part of 2014, as state and local governments were slow to come to market with new deals. Through the end of March 2014, supply totaled approximately $62 billion, down 26% from the same period in 2013. Noteworthy is the drought in refunding supply, which stands at just under $18 billion versus last year’s $37 billion—a 52% decline. Issuance of bonds for new money dipped just 2% to about $31 billion. With most municipal governments having refinanced their eligible outstanding bonds over the past several years, the collapse in refunding issuance has acted as a support to prices thus far in 2014.

Regarding the performance of the S&P municipal indices, we have a brief comment on Puerto Rico. While the Commonwealth was a headwind for performance for most of 2013, the picture brightened during the first quarter of 2014. Puerto Rico represents nearly 2% of the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index, and generated a quarterly total return of 4.69% and contributed almost 8 basis points of the index’s 3.62% return. We have stayed out of Puerto Rico in our centrally managed accounts for more than two years, viewing the problems as mostly socioeconomic, with likely long-range negative consequences. We still believe severe difficulties lie ahead for the Commonwealth and won’t try to market-time this segment. In our view, Puerto Rico remains an extremely volatile theater, though this may change in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, but outperformed its Lipper peer group. While the Fund and peer group performance are net of operating expenses, the benchmark returns reflect gross returns without any expense impact. The Fund’s higher quality positioning provided mixed results. An underweight to “A” rated bonds hurt relative performance, as “A” rated bonds in general outperformed the overall market. However, due to the poor performance of Puerto Rico bonds, “BBB” rated bonds underperformed the market and our significant underweight positively impacted relative performance.

WILMINGTON MARYLAND MUNICIPAL BOND FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Maryland Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -0.56%* for Class A Shares and -0.38%* for Class I Shares, versus its primary benchmark, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index** which had a total return of 0.97%, and its peer group, the Lipper Other States Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average***, which had a total return of -0.52%.

In 2013, municipal bond performance varied depending on investors’ position on the yield curve and portfolios’ geographic exposure. On the whole, municipals delivered at best tepid performance. Going into calendar year-end, investors seemed to be recovering from a dismal summer.

The first two months of 2014 produced remarkable returns, as the yield on the S&P Municipal Bond Index fell to 2.84% by the end of February from 3.31% at the beginning of the year. The broad index produced total returns of 2.11% and 1.26% in January and February, respectively, with price gains accounting for the bulk of those numbers. In March, the S&P Municipal Bond Index’s yield rose only three basis points (0.03%). Despite the slight rise, the benchmark produced a 0.13% return. In April, yields reestablished their downward march, with the Index ending the fiscal year at 2.71%. This downward march produced another month of strong performance for the Index at 1.20% and a 2014 year-to-date total return of 4.78%. Moreover, the robust start to 2014 lifted the index’s trailing 12-month performance into positive territory with a 0.47% return. Our benchmark Intermediate index also delivered unusually strong performance, with a 3.62% 2014 YTD return and a 0.97% return over the trailing 12-month period.

A slowdown in new issuance served as support in the early part of 2014, as state and local governments were slow to come to market with new deals. Through the end of March 2014, supply totaled approximately $62 billion, down 26% from the same period in 2013. Noteworthy is the drought in refunding supply, which stands at just under $18 billion versus last year’s $37 billion—a 52% decline. Issuance of bonds for new money dipped just 2% to about $31 billion. With most municipal governments having refinanced their eligible outstanding bonds over the past several years, the collapse in refunding issuance has acted as a support to prices thus far in 2014.

Regarding the performance of the S&P municipal indices, we have a brief comment on Puerto Rico. While the Commonwealth was a headwind for performance for most of 2013, the picture brightened during the first quarter of 2014. Puerto Rico represents nearly 2% of the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index, and generated a quarterly total return of 4.69% and contributed almost 8 basis points of the index’s 3.62% return. We have stayed out of Puerto Rico in our centrally managed accounts for more than two years, viewing the problems as mostly socioeconomic, with likely long-range negative consequences. We still believe severe difficulties lie ahead for the Commonwealth and won’t try to market-time this segment. In our view, Puerto Rico remains an extremely volatile theater, though this may change in the future. We will continue to monitor the situation.

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, but outperformed its Lipper peer group. While the Fund and peer group performance are net of management fees, the benchmark returns reflect gross returns without any fee impact. The Fund’s higher quality positioning provided mixed results. An underweight to “A” rated bonds hurt relative performance, as “A” rated bonds in general outperformed the overall market. However, due to the poor performance of Puerto Rico bonds, “BBB” rated bonds underperformed the market and our significant underweight positively impacted relative performance. In addition, the S&P Municipal Bond Intermediate Index is national in scope and the MD portion of the benchmark index returned 0.61% for the 12-month period, underperforming the overall 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, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

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 are 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.

PORTFOLIOS OF INVESTMENTS

 

Wilmington Broad Market Bond Fund (concluded)

 

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $266,683,792. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $5,699,208. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $7,767,652 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $2,068,444.

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, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class are not available for the Funds. All shares of the Trust have equal rights with respect to voting, except on class-specific matters.

On April 13, 2013, Class C shares of the Intermediate-Term Bond, Short-Term Corporate Bond and Short Duration Government Bond Funds were terminated after the conversion to Class A of the Funds.

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:

 

•  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 Board of Trustees (“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 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, 2014, there were no 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, fixed income securities and money market instruments are generally categorized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy.

 

April 30, 2014 / ANNUAL REPORT


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)   84

 

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.

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.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1)Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

Investment Income, Gains and Losses, Expenses and Distributions – Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. 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. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are accounted for on a 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 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 daily and paid monthly.

 

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2014


85    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

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.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year or period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 transactions as opposed to the specific mortgages. TBAs are marked to market daily and begin earning interest of the settlement date. Losses may occur due to the fact the actual underlying mortgages received may be less favorable than those anticipated by the Funds.

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, 2014.

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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.

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

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

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 the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, net investment losses, market discount reclass, discount accretion/premium amortization on debt securities, capital gain or loss as a result of paydown activity, and distributions recognition on income distribution payable. GAAP requires that permanent differences in net investment income and realized gains and losses due to differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets and have no effect on the net assets nor the NAV of the Funds.

As of April 30, 2014, 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 2013, 2012, and 2011, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are 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, 2014, 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:

The Short Duration Government Bond Fund expired capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $1,434,935.

 

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

6. CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Since Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and New York 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, 2014, 10.6% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and 45.6% for New York 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 4.7% for Maryland Municipal Bond Fund and 25.7% for New York Municipal Bond Fund.

 

7. LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. 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 through March 10, 2014. Effective March 11, 2014, the LOC included a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion. The termination date of this LOC is March 9, 2015. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2014.

 

8. REORGANIZATION

REORGANIZATION - FISCAL YEAR 2013

On June 22, 2012, the Board approved an Agreement and Plans of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) which provided for the transfer of all the assets of the Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and the Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, each a series of the Trust, (the “Acquired Funds”) for shares of the Municipal Bond Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”). Shareholders approved the Plans at a meeting held on November 15, 2012 and the reorganization closed on December 3, 2012 based on net asset values determined as of the close of business on November 30, 2012. The acquisitions were accomplished through tax-free exchanges of assets and shares.

The purpose of this transaction was to combine the three Funds with the same Investment Manager and with substantially similar investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. Due to the small size of the Acquired 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 Acquired Funds into the Acquiring Fund.

For financial reporting purposes, the Municipal Bond Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor.

              $273,973,709    
           

 

 

 

The net assets of the Acquired Funds included net unrealized appreciation on investments of $7,032,753 and $1,288,589 and accumulated net realized gains of $1,384,529 and $239,773 for the Wilmington Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Fund and Wilmington Virginia Municipal Bond Fund, respectively.

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, 2012, 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, 2013 would have been $5,548,565, $20,218,458 and $25,767,023, respectively.

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, including the portfolios of investments, 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 and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund (seven of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and 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, 2014, 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 and Wilmington New York Municipal Bond Fund at April 30, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

    i   

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Wilmington Funds (the Trust). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014. 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 investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

Compared to other animals, humans have an unparalleled ability to see what we wish to see. The tendency to interpret facts to suit our opinions is magnified in the financial arena. Most of the time economic data provides plenty of fodder for both bulls and bears.

We see enough positive news to argue that good times are about to roll...

 

   

Despite weather-driven speed bumps in January and February, U.S. nonfarm payrolls expanded by 2.37 million jobs in the year ended April 2014 – the strongest gain since the period ended April 2006. April 2014 hiring came in unexpectedly robust, with job growth of 288,000, the highest since January 2012. Payrolls rose an average of 202,000 per month over the last six months, and by the end of April 2014, had recovered to within 113,000 jobs of the all-time high set in January 2008.

 

   

Inflation remains under control. The Consumer Price Index for April 2014 was up 2.0% from a year earlier – the biggest year-over-year increase since July 2013 but below the 20-year average of 2.4%. Meanwhile, core CPI – excluding the volatile food and energy categories – was up 1.8% in April 2014, only slightly above the reading in previous months and also lower than the long-run average of 2.2%.

 

   

While retail sales came in below expectations in April 2014, strong February and March numbers suggest consumers have come out of hibernation. Job growth and the “wealth effect” from stock returns have set the stage for spending growth.

… and sufficient worrisome news to justify caution.

 

   

New-home sales have plummeted so far this year, while sales of existing homes have trended lower since last summer, even taking into account seasonal adjustments. Lenders have become more accommodating, yet credit remains fairly tight, as does the supply of homes.

 

   

Two popular measures of consumer confidence, indices maintained by the Conference Boardi and the University of Michiganii, have diverged somewhat in recent months. However, both indices report confidence fairly close to levels seen last summer despite improvements in the labor market, excellent stock returns, and an expanding economy. The early-May reading of the University of Michigan surveyii saw a 2.7% decline from April 2014 levels, while the consensus projected a 3.3% increase. One number does not a trend make, but the University of Michigan data can only be called disappointing.

ihttp://www.conference-board.org/

iihttp://www.sca.isr.umich.edu/

Many of the recent problems stem directly from the harsh winter weather we have endured which pushed first quarter GDP down by 1%. We expect that a rebound from this will take place in the second quarter which should be followed by a resumption of modest growth rates in the 2.5 to 3.0% range. Given this outlook, we expect to see stocks outperform bonds but fears of a major rise in interest rates are also probably overblown.

The Bond Markets

In the year ended April 30, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1 delivered a -0.26% return, with the majority of the bond market performing at a lackluster level. Blame Treasuries for the Aggregate Bond Index’s negative return, as the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index2 returned -1.59% for the year ended April. In contrast, Barclays indices for mortgage-backed, corporate, and municipal bonds all managed positive returns, albeit below 0.60%.

While the statements above are unequivocally accurate, investors who stop at the raw numbers will miss a big part of the picture – bond investors suffered their pain in 2013; so far, 2014 has proven friendlier.

 

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE  /  April 30, 2014 (unaudited)


 

ii  

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 1.70% at the end of April 2013 and ended the year at 3.04%. By the end of April 2014, the T-bond yield had fallen to 2.67%, and as of May 28th it yielded 2.44%. Corporate bonds have traced similar, if less steep, paths. These yields reflect a solid recovery this year, which in turn tells us that the Federal Reserve’s tapering of bond purchases hasn’t had the deleterious effect some pundits projected.

On April 30, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee reduced its monthly bond purchases another $10 billion to $45 billion, down from $85 billion for most of last year. At this pace, the Fed may stop buying bonds before the end of 2014. While new Fed Chair Janet Yellen shocked the market in March when she said the Fed could start raising interest rates just six months after the end of quantitative easing3, subsequent statements suggest the central bank hasn’t set a hard target.

In recent months, the Fed has signaled expectations roughly in line with the consensus, which suggests the federal funds rate won’t rise until the second half of 2015. “Doves” continue to call the shots at the Fed, and it’s tough to predict how markets would react if the bankers changed their tone.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain Barclays indices performed as follows4:

    U.S. Aggregate     
Bond Index
   Barclays

The Stock Markets

Few investors who owned a diversified stock portfolio at the start of last May and held it through the end of April 2014 should complain. The S&P 500 Index8 of large-cap stocks returned 20.44% during that 12-month period. Most segments of the U.S. stock market shared in the wealth, with the small-cap Russell 2000 Index9 returning 20.50%.

Among large-cap stocks, growth slightly outperformed value. Smaller stocks showed more of a growth bias (Russell 2000 Growth Index10 up 21.46% versus 19.61% for the Russell 2000 Value Index11). But when your lagging group manages an annual return of more than 19%, you’ve enjoyed a good year.

Even foreign stocks provided investors with solid gains – at least in developed markets. The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index12 returned 9.76% over the last year, while the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index13 of large-cap and midcap stocks from developed markets returned 13.35%. However, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index14 delivered a -1.84% return.

Most of the stock gains racked up in the 12 months ended April 2014 came during the last eight months of 2013. The S&P 500 managed to set eight new all-time closing highs during the first four months of 2014, yet exited April up less than 3% from its level at the end of 2013. The sluggishness during this period has probably contributed to weakness in both consumer and investor sentiment.

The American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey for the week ending May 21st, 2014, found 43% of investors neutral on the stock market, well above the long-run average of 31%. While bullishness has risen and bearishness fallen in recent weeks, percentages for both extremes remain below typical levels. The unusually large number of “neutrals” bespeaks a lack of confidence in the market, feelings not unexpected given lackluster year-to-date returns.

With the U.S. stock market looking for leadership, investors should keep an eye out for groups making strong moves. A large pack of investors uncertain about the market’s direction can quickly transform into a stampede – in any direction.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

 

    S&P 500    
Index
   Dow Jones
Industrial Average

  NASDAQ
Composite Index
16
  MSCI All Country
  World ex-US (Net)

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP GROWTH FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Large-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 18.77%* for Class A Shares and 19.04%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index,** which had a total return of 20.66%.

The stock market has been on a steady upward trend since the end of the third quarter of 2011. There have been several small corrections along the way but the market has been remarkably resilient with each small correction a buying opportunity. While earnings and revenue growth have not measured up to the recoveries of the past, the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) extraordinary monetary accommodation and reasonable valuations allowed the market (S&P 500 Index) to enjoy a 32% rise in 2013. The market dipped in May and June of 2013, when the first signs from the Fed appeared that accommodation was to have a limited life. As a result, interest rate sensitive equities took a hit and continued to lag into the year ended December 31, 2013. As the new year started, many of these interest rate sensitive companies moved higher as the strength of the global economy came into question putting the likelihood of higher interest rates a little less likely with the 10-Year U.S. Treasury dropping from 3.0% to 2.7%. U.S. earnings, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, continue to roll in ahead of expectations allowing earnings for the year to stay solidly in place versus a typical reduction of estimates as the year progresses.

With the diminution in expected growth rates and its effect on lower rates, the attractiveness of lower risk, lower duration equities with yield characteristics have been bid up versus their cyclical counterparts. Within the equity market, more value can be found with cyclical stocks with lower relative valuations versus defensive companies with higher dividend yields and higher historical valuations. If growth rates accelerate as expected this year with growth in government spending and an improving small business environment that were absent last year, a shift towards longer duration cyclical exposure would be expected. Valuations in the equity market are slightly ahead of their long-term averages with the exception of price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples that are benefitting from record margins. Even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

Sector rotation has occurred many times during this bull-run which is a healthy attribute of a long bull cycle. Early this year many of the best performing sectors of last year reversed course including very high valuation companies in the biotechnology and internet associated industries. Additionally, interest rate sensitive sectors like utilities and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) performed strongly right out of the gate early in the year as the 10-Year U.S. Treasury started to decline as uncertainty about the healthiness of the economy came into question as weather related weakness hit expectations. Excesses in the economy are hard to find making it more likely that we are still mid cycle and not reaching the end of this economic cycle quite yet. While international difficulties are still in the news, the European economy appears to be on the mend but emerging market economies have some weak spots. The strength of the U.S. economy and increased accommodation abroad bodes well for the U.S. dollar which may put pressure on investments in emerging economies this year.

For the fiscal year, the largest underperformance came from the industrial, consumer discretionary and technology sectors while the consumer staples, energy and telecommunications sectors provided positive relative performance. The largest outperformance from individual holdings came from Apple, Gilead Sciences, Michael Kors and not owning Coca Cola and Verizon. The biggest detractors came from Target, Intuitive Surgical, Tile Shop, Pepsi, and not owning Facebook during the fiscal year.

The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 1000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the large-cap growth segment. The Index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure new and growing equities are included and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics.

The price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, is an equity valuation multiple. It is defined as market price per share divided by annual earnings per share.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment of a stock.

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP STRATEGY FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Large-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 20.12%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Index**, which had a total return of 20.81%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 1000 Index by overweighting mega-cap, mid-cap, growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the period May 2013 through March 2014, the Fund was positioned to track a custom index of 65% mega-cap and 35% mid-cap companies. The Russell 1000 Index can be divided into the Russell Top 200 Index of mega-cap stocks and the Russell Midcap Index which represent the 800 mid-cap companies. The weight of the Russell Midcap Index has been approximately 31% of the Russell 1000 Index. Over this period, the Russell Top 200 Index returned 20.6%, and the Russell Midcap Index returned 21.3%. The tactical overweight to growth had a 0.1% impact on relative performance.

At the March 2014 meeting, the IST recommended a tilt toward growth companies and maintained the capitalization tilt toward mid-sized companies. The Fund was rebalanced to track a custom index incorporating both recommendations. For the month of April 2014, the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 0.0%, the Russell 1000 Value Index returned 1.0%, the Russell Midcap Index returned -0.6%, the Russell Top 200 Index returned 0.9%, and the Fund returned 0.1%. The IST tactical asset allocation advice detracted 0.1% from excess return. The majority of the 0.7% underperformance over the twelve month period is explained by expenses and transaction costs.

The IST and Investment Research Team are researching additional tactics to improve the risk adjusted return of the portfolio.

WILMINGTON LARGE-CAP VALUE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Large-Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 17.46%* for Class A Shares and 17.88%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index**, which had a total return of 20.90%.

The strategy employed by the Fund is a quality oriented dividend growth strategy whose performance tracks more closely with the Fund’s alternate index, the NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index. The fiscal year performance for the Fund of 17.88% compares favorably to the 16.11% earned by the NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index.

The stock market has been on a steady upward trend since the end of the third quarter of 2011. There have been several small corrections along the way but the market has been remarkably resilient with each small correction a buying opportunity. While earnings and revenue growth have not measured up to the recoveries of the past, the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) extraordinary monetary accommodation and reasonable valuations allowed the market (S&P 500 Index) to enjoy a 32% rise in 2013. The market dipped in May and June of 2013, when the first signs from the Fed appeared that accommodation was to have a limited life. As a result, interest rate sensitive equities took a hit and continued to lag into the year ended December 31, 2013. As the new year started, many of these interest rate sensitive companies moved higher as the strength of the global economy came into question putting the likelihood of higher interest rates a little less likely with the 10-Year U.S. Treasury dropping from 3.0% to 2.7%. U.S. earnings, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, continue to roll in ahead of expectations allowing earnings for the year to stay solidly in place versus a typical reduction of estimates as the year progresses.

With the diminution in expected growth rates and its effect on lower rates, the attractiveness of lower risk, lower duration equities with yield characteristics have been bid up versus their cyclical counterparts. Within the equity market, more value can be found with cyclical stocks with lower relative valuations versus defensive companies with higher dividend yields and higher historical valuations. If growth rates accelerate as expected this year with growth in government spending and an improving small business environment that were absent last year, a shift towards longer duration cyclical exposure would be expected. Valuations in the equity market are slightly ahead of their long-term averages with the exception of price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples that are benefitting from record margins. Even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

Sector rotation has occurred many times during this bull-run which is a healthy attribute of a long bull cycle. Early this year many of the best performing sectors of last year reversed course including very high valuation companies in the biotechnology and internet associated industries. Additionally, interest rate sensitive sectors like utilities and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) performed strongly right out of the gate early in the year as the 10-Year U.S. Treasury started to decline as uncertainty about the healthiness of the economy came into question as weather related weakness hit expectations. Excesses in the economy are hard to find making it more likely that we are still mid cycle and not reaching the end of

this economic cycle quite yet. While international difficulties are still in the news, the European economy appears to be on the mend but emerging market economies have some weak spots. The strength of the U.S. economy and increased accommodation abroad bodes well for the U.S. dollar which may put pressure on investments in emerging economies this year.

For the fiscal year, the largest underperformance came from the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and technology sectors. The telecommunication and financial sectors outperformed during this period. Within consumer discretionary and staples sectors, Target, Philip Morris International and Pepsi were responsible for most of the underperformance. Relative outperformance came from Cardinal Health, Lockheed Martin, Schlumberger and by not having a position in AT&T.

The NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index is comprised of a select group of securities with at least ten consecutive years of increasing annual regular dividend payments.

The price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, is an equity valuation multiple. It is defined as market price per share divided by annual earnings per share.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment of a stock.

WILMINGTON MID-CAP GROWTH FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Mid-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 14.64%* for Class A Shares and 14.86%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index**, which had a total return of 20.62%.

During the past fiscal year, the US equity markets staged a significant rally, driven by improving risk appetite from investors, which expanded valuation multiples, continued growth in corporate profits, and accommodative monetary policy. As valuation multiples increased, leadership in the equity market was driven in part by higher multiple, high momentum stocks. More recently, these momentum stocks have struggled under the increased uncertainty of monetary policy and geopolitical unrest. Despite these risks, overall corporate profits remain resilient and the broader market continues to move higher.

Our Fund has been positioned throughout the past five years of economic and equity market recovery to take advantage of a pro-growth environment. While we have generally benefited from this positioning, our primary objective is to identify companies that are best positioned to generate profitable growth throughout the cycle. We strive to invest in businesses with sustainable competitive advantages that produce growing cash flow and earnings through a durable economic business model. Our success or failure is rooted in selecting these companies and paying a reasonable price for this growth.

Our underperformance during the past fiscal year was concentrated in the last two quarters of the fiscal year. Performance was hurt by two primary effects. First, our investment discipline will generally steer us away from many of the high momentum names that propelled much of the benchmark’s performance over the past year. In addition, the portfolio included several stocks that disappointed our expectations, even though in several of these cases the company’s performance has been satisfactory, especially when viewed over a longer investment horizon.

The majority of the underperformance was attributable to adverse stock selection in the consumer discretionary, health care, and information technology sectors. In consumer discretionary, performance was negatively impacted by Tile Shop Holdings, Inc., which was a subject of a “short attack” in November 2013, Lululemon Athletica Inc., which up to this year had been a significant success for the Fund, and not owning Tesla Motors, Inc., a high multiple, momentum stock. Health care performance was hurt by Intuitive Surgical, a long-time successful Fund holding, as well as not owning Actavis plc and Illumina, Inc. Our tech holdings in Nuance Communications, Inc. and Citrix Systems, Inc., which we have since exited, along with ANSYS, Inc. and Aruba Networks, Inc. more than offset our success in Sourcefire Inc., which was acquired by Cisco Systems, Inc. The Fund generated positive performance in consumer staples, primarily by owning Keurig Green Mountain Inc., and energy, which was boosted by our positions in CARBO Ceramics Inc. and Whiting Petroleum Corporation, which incidentally was a notable underperformer last fiscal year.

The dispersion of short-term stock price movements seems to have increased as the equity market advances to new highs and benchmark leadership narrows. We cannot control short-term volatility in

our holdings. However, we are confident that the strategy most likely to generate superior performance over a cycle is to focus on the companies’ longer-term economic health and strategic positioning. Our fundamental approach emphasizes identifying and investing in companies with superior growth prospects and attractive valuations. While short-term underperformance is disappointing to us, we will stay with our disciplined approach and have conviction that, when implemented consistently and effectively, this strategy will pay off over time.

WILMINGTON SMALL-CAP GROWTH FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the Wilmington Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 18.19%* for Class A Shares, and 18.49%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index,** which had a total return of 21.46%.

Even with a continuation of only modest mid-single-digit earnings growth, the stock market can continue to rise.

Sector rotation has occurred many times during this bull-run which is a healthy attribute of a long bull cycle. Early this year many of the best performing sectors of last year reversed course including very high valuation companies in the biotechnology and internet associated industries. Additionally, interest rate sensitive sectors like utilities and Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) performed strongly right out of the gate early in the year as the 10-Year U.S. Treasury started to decline as uncertainty about the healthiness of the economy came into question as weather related weakness hit expectations. Excesses in the economy are hard to find making it more likely that we are still mid cycle and not reaching the end of this economic cycle quite yet. While international difficulties are still in the news, the European economy appears to be on the mend but emerging market economies have some weak spots. The strength of the U.S. economy and increased accommodation abroad bodes

well for the U.S. dollar which may put pressure on investments in emerging economies this year.

For the fiscal year, the Fund’s best relative performing sector during the year was the consumer discretionary sector due largely to outperformance in the media and specialty retail industries. Consumer staples also contributed positively to performance with particular strength in food product industry. Performance was hurt by the health care, financial, technology, and basic materials sectors. The biotechnology and internet software/services industry groups contributed the most to underperformance correcting significantly after a strong run in 2013. Consumer finance within financials and the chemical industry with basic materials were weak performers.

The Fund utilizes a quantitative approach to stock selection and portfolio construction. Factor preferences were relatively consistent for most of 2013 when high beta, low dividend yield, and low quality companies along with price momentum paid off well late in the year allowing the Fund to perform in line with its index for the period from April 30, 2013 to December 31, 2013. However, the start of the year brought about a rotation in factor preferences that caused the underperformance for the fiscal year as it takes some time for the portfolio to adjust to rapid changes in factor preferences. Stock selection is particularly difficult for the quantitative strategies in the biotechnology industry where many companies lack earnings and even revenues making valuation differentiation difficult.

The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Growth Index is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased barometer for the small-cap growth segment. The index is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set and that the represented companies continue to reflect growth characteristics.

The price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, is an equity valuation multiple. It is defined as market price per share divided by annual earnings per share.

Duration is a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Securities with longer durations are more sensitive to changes in interest rates than securities of shorter durations.

Valuation is the process of determining the current worth of an asset or company. There are many techniques that can be used to determine value; some are subjective and others are objective.

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price. In the absence of any capital gains, the dividend yield is the return on investment of a stock.

WILMINGTON SMALL-CAP STRATEGY FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 18.74% for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index**, which had a total return of 20.50%.

The Fund attempts to outperform the Russell 2000 Index by overweighting growth or value companies based on recommendations from the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team (IST). During the period May 2013 through August 2013, the IST style recommendation for domestic small-cap equities was to overweight value companies. The Russell 2000 Value Index returned 10.3% and the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 17.8% during this period, so the style tilt had a -1.1% impact on relative performance.

At the September 2013 meeting of the IST, the team voted to reverse the style tilt for domestic small-cap portfolios. The Fund was rebalanced at the end of September to track a custom index of 65% Russell 2000 Growth Index/ 35% Russell 2000 Value Index. IST advice remained unchanged through the end of April 2014. During this period, the Russell 2000 Growth Index returned 3.1% and the Russell 2000 Value Index returned 8.4%. Over the seven month period, the tactical overweight to growth had a -0.7% impact on relative return.

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, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

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 are 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 $16,937,418. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $10,227,535. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $10,525,454 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $297,919.

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

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $67,996,772. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $25,334,659. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $28,723,756 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $3,389,097.

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, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Wilmington Small-Cap Strategy Fund (concluded)

 

Cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes is $124,137,196. The net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments was $18,545,795. This consists of net unrealized appreciation from investment for those securities having an excess of value over cost of $25,662,386 and net unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value of $7,116,591.

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, 2014 in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

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

 

   

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

The Funds’ policy is to disclose 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, 2014, there were no 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.

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.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(1) Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

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 basis 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 (except Large-Cap Strategy Fund and Small-Cap Strategy Fund) 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, if any, 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

Real Estate Investment Trusts – The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Funds to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

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.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year or period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 Trustees’ approved fair value procedures.

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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.

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

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(2) Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

 

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 the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, net investment losses, the “mark-to-market” of certain passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), losses deferred due to wash sales, and utilization of earning and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares. GAAP requires that permanent differences in net investment income and realized gains and losses due to differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets and have no effect on the net assets nor the NAV of the Funds.

As of April 30, 2014, 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 2013, 2012, and 2011, as well as the current year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

 

    Fund   Paid-in

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are 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 are 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, 2014, 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:

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

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. 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 Trust may reduce the maximum amount of distribution services fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates), may voluntarily waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, M&T Securities, Inc. and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (together “M&T”), affiliates of the Advisor, received a portion of the fees paid by the Funds which are listed below:

Shareholder Services Fee – Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan adopted by the Funds and administered by ALPS, the Funds may pay up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A and Class I shares to financial intermediaries (which may include ALPS, the Advisor or their affiliates) for providing shareholder services and maintaining shareholder accounts. M&T has entered into a Shareholders Services Agreement with ALPS, under which it is entitled to receive up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s shares for whom M&T provides shareholder services. The Funds may reduce the maximum amount of shareholder service fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including M&T) may waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled.

6. LINE OF CREDIT

The Trust participated in a $20,000,000 unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with BNYM. 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 through March 10, 2014. Effective March 11, 2014, the LOC included a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion. The termination date of this LOC is March 9, 2015. The Funds did not utilize the LOC for the year ended April 30, 2014.

 

7. 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 Tribune Co., which has recently emerged from bankruptcy, have filed actions against former Tribune shareholders, (collectively, the “Lawsuits”) 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, but by different legal theories. 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 could change in the future.

 

 

April 30, 2014 / ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)      100   

 

 

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 their net asset values 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 each of the Large-Cap Strategy Fund and the Mid-Cap Growth Fund’s net asset value at this time. Neither the Large-Cap Strategy Fund nor the Mid-Cap Growth Fund can predict what their size might be at the time that the cost of the Lawsuits might be quantifiable and thus potentially deducted from their 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.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On May 22, 2014, WFMC and WTIA, recommended, and the Trustees approved the liquidation of the Large-Cap Growth Fund and the Large-Cap Value Fund. Effective upon the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange on May 22, 2014, the Large-Cap Growth Fund and the Large-Cap Value Fund no longer accepted purchase orders of any kind. On June 20, 2014, the liquidation date, each Fund made a liquidating distribution to its remaining shareholders equal to each shareholder’s proportionate share of the net assets of the respective Fund in complete redemption and cancellation of the fund’s shares held by each remaining shareholder, and then dissolved.

 

9. 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, 2014, 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       99.68
  Large-Cap Value Fund       43.00
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       59.74

For the year ended April 30, 2014, 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       52.73
  Small-Cap Strategy Fund       62.33

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, including the portfolios of investments, 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 (six of the series constituting the Wilmington Funds) (the “Funds”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and 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, 2014, 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, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the years or periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Dear Investor:

I am pleased to present the Annual Report of Wilmington Funds (the Trust). This report covers the Trust’s fiscal year, which is the 12-month reporting period from May 1, 2013, through April 30, 2014. 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 investment advisor to the Trust, and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc., the sub-advisor to the Trust, have provided the following review of the economy, bond markets, and stock markets over the 12-month reporting period.

The Economy

Compared to other animals, humans have an unparalleled ability to see what we wish to see. The tendency to interpret facts to suit our opinions is magnified in the financial arena. Most of the time economic data provides plenty of fodder for both bulls and bears.

We see enough positive news to argue that good times are about to roll ....

 

   

Despite weather-driven speed bumps in January and February, U.S. nonfarm payrolls expanded by 2.37 million jobs in the year ended April 2014 – the strongest gain since the period ended April 2006. April 2014 hiring came in unexpectedly robust, with job growth of 288,000, the highest since January 2012. Payrolls rose an average of 202,000 per month over the last six months, and by the end of April 2014, had recovered to within 113,000 jobs of the all-time high set in January 2008.

 

   

Inflation remains under control. The Consumer Price Index for April 2014 was up 2.0% from a year earlier – the biggest year-over-year increase since July 2013 but below the 20-year average of 2.4%. Meanwhile, core CPI – excluding the volatile food and energy categories – was up 1.8% in April 2014, only slightly above the reading in previous months and also lower than the long-run average of 2.2%.

 

   

While retail sales came in below expectations in April 2014, strong February and March numbers suggest consumers have come out of hibernation. Job growth and the “wealth effect” from stock returns have set the stage for spending growth.

... and sufficient worrisome news to justify caution.

 

   

New-home sales have plummeted so far this year, while sales of existing homes have trended lower since last summer, even taking into account seasonal adjustments. Lenders have become more accommodating, yet credit remains fairly tight, as does the supply of homes.

 

   

Two popular measures of consumer confidence, indices maintained by the Conference Boardi and the University of Michiganii, have diverged somewhat in recent months. However, both indices report confidence fairly close to levels seen last summer despite improvements in the labor market, excellent stock returns, and an expanding economy. The early-May reading of the University of Michigan surveyii saw a 2.7% decline from April 2014 levels, while the consensus projected a 3.3% increase. One number does not a trend make, but the University of Michigan data can only be called disappointing.

ihttp://www.conference-board.org

iihttp://www.sca.isr.umich.edu

Many of the recent problems stem directly from the harsh winter weather we have endured which pushed first quarter GDP down by 1%. We expect that a rebound from this will take place in the second quarter which should be followed by a resumption of modest growth rates in the 2.5 to 3.0% range. Given this outlook, we expect to see stocks outperform bonds but fears of a major rise in interest rates are also probably overblown.

The Bond Markets

In the year ended April 30, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index1 delivered a -0.26% return, with the majority of the bond market performing at a lackluster level. Blame Treasuries for the Aggregate Bond Index’s negative return, as the Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index2 returned -1.59% for the year ended April. In contrast, Barclays indices for mortgage-backed, corporate, and municipal bonds all managed positive returns, albeit below 0.60%.

While the statements above are unequivocally accurate, investors who stop at the raw numbers will miss a big part of the picture – bond investors suffered their pain in 2013; so far, 2014 has proven friendlier.

 

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE / April 30, 2014 (unaudited)


 

ii

The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 1.70% at the end of April 2013 and ended the year at 3.04%. By the end of April 2014, the T-bond yield had fallen to 2.67%, and as of May 28th it yielded 2.44%. Corporate bonds have traced similar, if less steep, paths. These yields reflect a solid recovery this year, which in turn tells us that the Federal Reserve’s tapering of bond purchases hasn’t had the deleterious effect some pundits projected.

On April 30, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) Open Market Committee reduced its monthly bond purchases another $10 billion to $45 billion, down from $85 billion for most of last year. At this pace, the Fed may stop buying bonds before the end of 2014. While new Fed Chair Janet Yellen shocked the market in March when she said the Fed could start raising interest rates just six months after the end of quantitative easing3, subsequent statements suggest the central bank hasn’t set a hard target.

In recent months, the Fed has signaled expectations roughly in line with the consensus, which suggests the federal funds rate won’t rise until the second half of 2015. “Doves” continue to call the shots at the Fed, and it’s tough to predict how markets would react if the bankers changed their tone.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain Barclays Indices performed as follows4:

The Stock Markets

Few investors who owned a diversified stock portfolio at the start of last May and held it through the end of April 2014 should complain. The S&P 500 Index8 of large-cap stocks returned 20.44% during that 12-month period. Most segments of the U.S. stock market shared in the wealth, with the small-cap Russell 2000 Index9 returning 20.50%.

Among large-cap stocks, growth slightly outperformed value. Smaller stocks showed more of a growth bias (Russell 2000 Growth Index10 up 21.46% versus 19.61% for the Russell 2000 Value Index11). But when your lagging group manages an annual return of more than 19%, you’ve enjoyed a good year.

Even foreign stocks provided investors with solid gains – at least in developed markets. The MSCI All Country World ex-US Index12 returned 9.76% over the last year, while the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index13 of large-cap and midcap stocks from developed markets returned 13.35%. However, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index14 delivered a -1.84% return.

Most of the stock gains racked up in the 12 months ended April 2014 came during the last eight months of 2013. The S&P 500 managed to set eight new all-time closing highs during the first four months of 2014, yet exited April up less than 3% from its level at the end of 2013. The sluggishness during this period has probably contributed to weakness in both consumer and investor sentiment.

The American Association of Individual Investors Sentiment Survey for the week ending May 21st, 2014, found 43% of investors neutral on the stock market, well above the long-run average of 31%. While bullishness has risen and bearishness fallen in recent weeks, percentages for both extremes remain below typical levels. The unusually large number of “neutrals” bespeaks a lack of confidence in the market, feelings not unexpected given lackluster year-to-date returns.

With the U.S. stock market looking for leadership, investors should keep an eye out for groups making strong moves. A large pack of investors uncertain about the market’s direction can quickly transform into a stampede – in any direction.

For the 12-month reporting period May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, certain stock market indices performed as follows:

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER INTERNATIONAL FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 10.53%* for Class A shares and 10.73%* for Class I shares, versus its benchmark, the Morgan Stanley Capital International – All Country World ex-US Index (Net, USD) (MSCI ACWI ex-US)** which had a total return of 9.76%. The appreciation of the U.S. Dollar detracted 0.50%, as the MSCI ACWI ex-US in local currency terms, returned 10.26%. The MSCI ACWI ex-US is a free float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure developed and emerging market equity performance, excluding the U.S. On a net-of-fees basis, overall manager selection had a meaningful positive effect and overall tactical asset allocation decisions had no material impact on the Fund’s relative returns.

On a global level, the greatest single contributor to the world ex-U.S. performance during the period was economic growth in the world’s largest economy, the U.S. However, in many markets local economic and political conditions were prevailing influences.

It is notable that developed countries significantly outperformed emerging markets during the period. The MSCI World ex-US Index (Net, USD), a proxy for developed country large/mid cap equity returns, returned 13.1% in U.S. Dollar terms, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD) lost 1.8%. Moreover, within each group, developed and emerging, there was significant variation across markets, as local conditions were varied.

Within developed countries, there were two significant trends during the period. The first trend was the substantial recovery of Italian and Spanish equity markets, mirrored to a lesser degree in northern European markets. The second trend was a slight retrenchment of Japanese performance after a strong surge in equity prices during the prior period of May 2012-April 2013.

Italy produced an equity return of 38.9% while Spain produced an equity return of 36.0%. The backdrop for these strong equity returns is a significant economic recovery after several years of sharp fiscal austerity related to the Eurozone debt crisis. In particular, Spain has seen some recovery in its struggling housing market and in its banking sector.

To a significant degree, the recovery in the Italian and Spanish equity markets has been assisted through the actual and implied supports offered by the European Central Bank (ECB). Clearly, the ECB’s actions have had impacts on European bond markets, as yields for Italian and Spanish sovereign bonds have returned to levels last seen before the Eurozone debt crisis.

Through intra-European Union trade and financial linkages, Italian and Spanish economic recovery benefitted the economies and equity markets of France and Germany, with whom they share the Euro currency. Moreover, pro-business German Chancellor Angela Merkel was re-elected in September 2013, while socialist French president Francois Hollande softened his anti-business policies in response to a March 2014 loss of seats in local elections. Germany returned 26.9%, and France returned 25.5% during the period.

The UK returned 18.4% during the reporting period. Its performance may have matched that of Germany or France except

for the impact of weak commodities prices on some of the large commodities producers listed on their market and concerns about the possible outcome of a forthcoming Scottish referendum on independence from the UK also played a role.

The Japanese equity market lost 3.7% during the period. In the six months prior to the current reporting period, the Japanese equity market surged on news of the election of Shinzo Abe as Prime Minister and the announcement of quantitative easing and a weak-Yen policy, aimed at supporting exporter competitiveness. Subsequently, during the current reporting period, Japanese equity market attention turned toward the increasing of consumption taxes, in order to raise new revenues to reduce the government’s large fiscal deficits. The specter of higher taxes stopped the boom in equities and led to slight retrenchment. Additionally, as a result of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, capital flowed into the Yen- considered a “safe haven” currency, preventing further beneficial depreciation. Looking forward, Japanese equity markets are confronted by a number of tough challenges, namely poor demographics, high debt, and a potential maritime conflict with China.

The significant recent underperformance of emerging markets is due in part to the increase in U.S. long-term interest rates following the Fed’s May 2013 pre-announcement of potential tapering. Higher U.S. interest rates, plus a booming U.S. equities market, prompted outflows of capital from many emerging markets. This adversely impacted emerging market returns in local currency terms. Moreover, such outflows led to currency devaluations, which further adversely impacted returns in U.S. Dollar terms.

Two of the most adversely impacted countries included Brazil, which lost 11.3% during the period, and India, which managed to eke out a positive 1.3% after an intra-period plunge. It is notable that toward the end of the reporting period, both countries were facing nationwide elections. In the case of India, it appeared that a pro-business candidate, Marenda Modi, would become prime minister, while in the case of Brazil the current socialist president, Dilma Rousseff, would be re-elected.

Another factor impacting the adverse performance of emerging markets was the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which erupted during the first quarter of 2014. Although Russian equities market performance had already been deteriorating in 2013, it significantly worsened during the first quarter of 2014 as a consequence of the conflict. For the entirety of the reporting period, Russia lost 14.3%.

The Chinese equities market lost 1.3% during the period. While the new government appears to act decisively in response to short-term crises, such as recent defaults among non-bank lenders, its long-term economic policy priorities remain murky. There is widespread distrust of the accuracy of Chinese official data reporting. Moreover, the Chinese government seems pre-occupied with non-economic issues, such as maritime claims in the East and South China Seas. Chinese companies are finding it difficult to make long-term investment decisions under such conditions of uncertainty.

It is tempting to describe the relatively weak performance of China and some other emerging markets during the reporting period as an

aberration in a long-run trend. After all, emerging markets have higher GDP growth rates than developed countries. However, the fact is that lackluster emerging market equity returns have been a persistent phenomenon. Over a trailing five year period, emerging markets returned 11.08% versus 13.45% for developed markets.

A likely explanation is structural: companies in many emerging markets face greater constraints than their developed-country counterparts in their efforts to expand profit margins. Labor markets in many emerging markets have tightened, placing significant pressure on wages. Moreover, infrastructure building – highways, ports, airports, power plants, water systems – has not kept pace with business and consumer demand. While businesses in developed countries are perfecting highly-automated “just-in-time”, their counterparts in emerging markets are often struggling to obtain raw materials on-time, keep the power on, and deliver products on-time to their customers.

Among emerging markets, there are two countries where infrastructure is closer to the standards prevailing in developed markets: Korea and Taiwan. Were it not for some technical characteristics of their stock exchanges and securities regulation, MSCI would label them as “developed”. Indeed, both countries posted significant equity returns during the reporting period, partly on the strength of U.S. demand for electronic components and products. Korea posted a 9.46% return and Taiwan a 7.46% return.

The Fund allocates assets between developed and emerging markets based on the advice by Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors Investment Strategy Team’s tactical asset allocation recommendations. At the end of the period had a 72% allocation to developed large-cap countries, 12% to developed small-cap countries, and 16% allocation to emerging markets. This allocation was in place for the last eight months of the period. In addition, the current allocation to developed large-cap countries was 50% value and 50% growth. At the start of the period, the Fund’s assets represented a 67% allocation to developed large-cap countries (50% value / 50% growth), 0% to developed small-cap countries, and 33% allocation to emerging markets. This starting allocation was in place for the first four months of the period. The Fund’s overweight allocation to emerging markets during the first four months of the period had a negative effect as noted above by the large difference in returns between developed countries and emerging markets. The tactical allocation to developed country small-cap equities, not represented in the Fund’s benchmark index, and underweight allocation to emerging markets both had a positive effect in the last eight months of the period. In total, there was no material impact on the Fund’s excess returns from these various tactical asset allocation recommendations.

On October 15, 2013, the Fund added Oberweis Asset Management, Inc. (“Oberweis”) as a new sub-advisor managing a portfolio of developed country small-cap equities. Oberweis actively selects stocks by exploiting the inefficiency regarding ‘Post-Earnings Announcement Drift’, whereby investors systematically under-react to changes in company business fundamentals when these changes are contrary to their existing prior beliefs. This drift results in stock prices continuing to drift for a long period (9 to 12 months) after the earnings surprise announcement. Their portfolio will usually have 70-85 individual positions, and the active share is generally greater than 90.

As of the fiscal year end, the Fund currently had a sub-advisor lineup consisting of the following asset managers: Baring International Investment Limited (“Barings”), Dimensional Fund

Advisors LP (“DFA”), LSV Asset Management (“LSV”), Northern Cross LLC, Oberweis, Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC (“Parametric”), and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”). WTIA allocates assets of the Fund among the sub-advisors.

The developed country large-cap growth portfolio managed by Northern Cross outperformed the MSCI World ex-US Growth Index (Net, USD). Most of the relative positive attribution was a result of their persistent large underweight allocation to Japan, the worst-performing developed country, and not owning any names in Australia, the second worst-performing developed country. They also experienced strong positive stock selection in European financials such as Intesa Sanpaolo, AXA, BBVA, and Lloyds.

The emerging markets portfolio managed by Parametric outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net, USD). The main positive drivers in explaining their relative results were their structural underweight to Brazil, investments in non-benchmark countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, and their overweight allocation to Poland. Their underweight allocations to Korea and Taiwan had the most meaningful negative influence on relative returns.

The developed country large-cap value portfolio managed by DFA outperformed the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net, USD). Their portfolio’s relative performance was driven primarily by the specific industries and countries owned as a result of their portfolio construction process. At the sector level, the portfolio’s emphasis on deep value stocks in financials and consumer discretionary contributed positively to relative performance. The exclusion of real estate investment trusts from the portfolio also positively contributed to relative performance. From a country perspective, overweight allocation in France and the Netherlands had a positive impact. However, an underweight allocation in Spain, one of the best-performing countries over the last 12 months, was one of the few negative contributors to relative performance.

Since Oberweis was added to the Fund in October, their portfolio outperformed the MSCI World ex-US Small-Cap Index (Net, USD). Looking at countries, they experienced strong positive stock selection within Japan, Denmark, Norway and Canada while experiencing weak stock selection in the U.K. From a sector perspective, the portfolio experienced strong positive stock selection within consumer discretionary, industrials, health care, and energy.

The developed country large-cap value portfolio managed by LSV was in line with the MSCI World ex-US Value Index (Net, USD). As they try to keep their portfolio both sector- and country-neutral, stock selection typically explains their relative results. Though they experienced strong stock selection in Japan, their relative returns were tempered by weak stock selection in consumer staples.

The developed country large-cap core portfolio managed by Barings trailed the MSCI World ex-US Index (Net, USD). The reasons for the relative underperformance were due to a mix of regional allocation and weak stock selection. They spent most of the year being substantially underweight the Pacific ex-Japan region, as they had concerns about the Australian economy. This decision had a positive influence, as the Australian market underperformed the international equity market. However, their underweight position in Continental Europe was detrimental to relative performance as they owned

very few names in some of the best-performing countries in the region such as Spain and Italy. Finally, their lack of ownership of many of the best-performing industrials also was a key factor in explaining their results.

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER ALTERNATIVES FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 2.74%* for Class A Shares and 3.01%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmark, the HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index**, which had a total return of 3.23%.

Fund Highlights

The Fund’s 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. The Fund’s annualized volatility for the fiscal year was 3.06%, the realized beta to S&P 500 was 0.16, and the realized correlation to the Barclays US Aggregate was 0.00.

Performance by Strategy

Long/short equity was the largest contributor to the Fund’s performance. Calypso Capital Management, LP (Calypso), our European manager was again the best performer in the Fund. The manager skillfully rotated into consumer-sensitive names in Southern Europe as it became clear that the European Central Band (ECB) was willing to take increasingly pro-active measures to ensure the stability of sovereign finances and foster growth. TIG Advisors, LLC (TIG) also posted strong gains for the year, primarily from idiosyncratic trades in smaller names in broadcasting and technology. Madison Street Partners, LLC (Madison) performance was buoyed by an advancing US equities market, where the manager skillfully moved net and gross exposure to damper volatility and reduce beta. The only long-short manager to detract from performance during the year was ADAR Investment Management, LLC (ADAR). Performance was down very modestly due largely to losses on a single position, Tower Group International. The firm was a specialty insurer who received a negative opinion on their reserves while in the process of re-domiciling in Bermuda. In April, we added Loeb King Capital Management (Loeb King) as a sub-advisor to the Fund. They manage a concentrated global catalyst driven long/short equity strategy that uses position level hedging (including options) to reduce risk. Since funding the strategy has contributed positively to performance. During the year, the Fund ended its sub-advisory relationship with ADAR and Madison.

Our event driven strategy, accessed through the Arbitrage Fund, posted modest gains. Over the last twelve months we have seen a large uptick in deal activity, especially hostile deals and those with topping bids, which act as a tail-wind to the strategy. At the same time, the low-levels of implied volatility reduced hedging costs on the options portfolio.

Our corporate credit strategies contributed positively to returns. Both allocations remain focused on short-duration high yield credit. Acuity Capital Management, LLC (Acuity) continues to invest primarily in credits from smaller high yield issuers where they expect the bonds to be called or refinanced in the near term. The strategy generates substantial current income and the price appreciation from calls and spread compression adds to total return. The allocation to the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund also contributed to performance as they continued to exploit the technical cheapness of near-maturity bonds due to selling pressure from benchmark driven, long-only money managers.

Options arbitrage, managed by Parametric Risk Advisers, detracted modestly from performance. Over the year, S&P equity volatility both implied and realized traded at historic norms. While the structural inefficiency that manager exploits persisted (namely that investors over pay for implied volatility relative to the realized volatility they experience), the nearly uni-directional move up in the S&P 500 outweighed this inefficiency. The strategy met management’s expectation for this market environment.

In September, P/E Global LLC (P/E Global) was added as a sub-advisor to the Fund. The manager trades currency futures using an adaptive systematic model that incorporates yield curve inputs. The global macro strategy has shown low correlation to the Fund’s other strategies and has acted to curb volatility meaningfully. Historically, the strategy has performed exceptionally well in equity market sell-offs, as shown in January of 2014. The strategy has detracted from performance since funding, as a result of its long-dollar positioning.

Commentary & Outlook

We remain constructive on both equity and credit markets. Despite an unusually cold winter, the US economy continued to grow and show modest job gains in the first quarter, while corporations posted stronger than expected results. Given corporate balance sheet’s sizable cash positions and divergent global growth, we expect corporate activity to remain strong supporting the event driven strategy. Much of the concern in 2014 year to date has focused on the risk posed by the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) tapering its quantitative easing program. While the Fed had previously committed to not raising the Fed Funds rate until unemployment dipped below 6.5%, given the low levels of inflation, the Central Bank has dropped the threshold commitment, delaying the markets expectation of monetary policy “normalizing”. This, coupled with a demand for lower-risk yield generating assets by aging demographics should provide support to US Treasuries and credit products. As Central Banks adopt less interventionist policies towards the currency markets, we would expect our global macro strategy to outperform as markets revert to trading on fundamentals. We will continue to run the Fund with the aim of generating absolute returns without sensitivity to macro factors by being well diversified from an exposure and thematic standpoint.

Beta is a measure of a portfolio’s volatility, or systematic risk, in comparison to the market as a whole. A beta below 1 indicates less volatility than the market; a higher beta indicates more volatility.

 

      

Investing involves risk and you may incur a profit or a loss. 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 correlations, trading frequently, using leverage, making short sales, being non-diversified, and investing in securities with low correlation to the market. The use of leverage may magnify losses.

 

      

The Fund is also subject to risks associated with investments in foreign markets, emerging market securities, small cap companies, debt securities, derivatives, commodity-linked instruments, illiquid securities, asset-backed securities, and CMOs. Please see the prospectus and summary prospectus for information on these as well as other risk considerations.

 

      

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding the financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

WILMINGTON MULTI-MANAGER REAL ASSET FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Multi-Manager Real Asset Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of -3.46%* for Class A Shares and -3.20%* for Class 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 -4.86% and -2.35%, respectively.

The Blended Index is currently a mix of 50% Barclays World GILB Index, 35% S&P Developed Property Index**, and 15% Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index (“DJUBSCI”)**. During this period, the Fund’s underlying managers and investments outperformed their individual benchmarks while tactical asset allocation decisions at the Fund level to underweight global inflation linked bonds (ILBs) and overweight real estate related securities were slightly negative over the course of the fiscal year, though positive since being first initiated during February 2013. One cannot invest directly in an index.

The Fund allocated 10% more than its blended benchmark to public real estate securities during the spring/summer of 2013 up until the end of August 2013 when the overweight was reduced to 5% and the difference re-invested in global ILB’s. The initial movement to real estate came in response to annualized real yields on ILB’s breaching the -0.2% level. Following a sell-off in the bond market that began in April 2013, the Fund began shifting some assets back to ILB’s as real-rates moved close to +0.4% at the end of August.

The Fund’s current weightings of 45% global ILB’s, 40% real estate related securities and 15% commodities reflecting a continued 5% overweight to real estate reflects our belief that a slowly growing economy, low interest rates, available financing and restrained inflation may benefit real estate to a greater extent than ILB’s or commodities.

Real yields on ILB’s rose during the fiscal year from -0.4% to +0.1% as measured by the Barclays World GILB Index with the bulk of the increase coming in May and June of 2013 following comments from Ben Bernanke on the likelihood of the Federal Reserve starting to wind down their latest quantitative easing program. The long average maturities of ILB’s are particularly sensitive to changes in overall interest rate levels and led to a -4.9% return during the fiscal year in that asset class. The Fund’s overall ILB allocation outperformed the index -4.6% vs. -4.8%. The portfolio of developed-and emerging-market ILBs managed by Pacific Investment Management Company (“PIMCO”) outperformed the Fund’s ILB benchmark during this time (-4.4% versus -4.9%) despite a structural allocation to emerging market ILBs which fell -7.8% as measured by the Barclays Emerging Market GILB Index (hedged, USD)** on rising real yields and capital flight from emerging markets. The portfolio of global, developed-market ILBs managed by HSBC Global Asset Management (“HSBC”) outperformed its benchmark during the period (-4.4% versus -4.9% for the Barclays World GILB Index).

Global real estate securities were down -1.5% during the fiscal year, measured by the S&P Developed Property Index, as real estate markets weighed the rise in interest rates against continued recovery in the operating characteristics of most properties. Performance was widely varied geographically led by Europe (+19.7%), the US (+0.6%)

and Asia-Pacific (-10.65%). The Fund’s overall real estate allocation outperformed the index -1.4% vs. -1.5%. The portfolio of global real estate securities managed by EII Realty Securities (“EII”) returned -1.2% during the period while the portfolio of global real estate securities managed by CBRE Clarion Securities (“CBRE”) also returned -1.2%. Both beat the index performance of -1.5% primarily due to holdings of cash in a down market.

Finally, commodities proved to be the best and only positive performer among the three asset classes for the fiscal year ending up +3.2% as measured by the DJUBSCI. Commodities had been solidly negative in 2013 before seeing significant jumps in early 2014 on a combination of supply disruptions that affected numerous commodities forcing spot prices, and index values, higher. The combination of declining central bank influence on markets as the Federal Reserve began to steadily remove quantitative easing and idiosyncratic performance among unrelated commodities has caused commodity allocations to resume their historical role as a diversifier for portfolios normally composed of financial assets.

The Fund’s overall commodity allocation outperformed the index +3.8% vs. +3.2%. The PIMCO CommoditiesPLUS Fund (the “PIMCO Fund”) was added at the start of the fiscal year and outpaced the DJUBSCI, returning +7.2% vs. +3.2%. The Credit Suisse Commodity Return Strategy Fund (the “Credit Suisse Fund”) trailed the DJUBSCI (+2.1% versus +3.2%). The Fund also had exposure to the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index-Optimum Yield Diversified (“DBLCIOY Diversified”) index** via holdings of the PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund. During the period the Powershares Fund underperformed the DJUBSCI (+0.5% vs. +3.2%).

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION CONSERVATIVE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund (the “Fund”) returned 1.60%* for Class A Shares and 1.85%* for Class I Shares, versus its benchmarks, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Conservative Blended Index**, which returned -0.26% and 2.28%, respectively.

The Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team and then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Conservative Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares underperformed the Conservative Blended Index by 0.43%. During the period, tactical decisions added approximately 0.6% to relative performance, with manager selection adding an additional 0.25%. Netting fees charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the Fund yielded a 0.43% underperformance for the fiscal year. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that witnessed the beginning of stimulus tapering by the Federal Reserve, continued reductions in the growth outlook for emerging markets, and questions of the sustainability of domestic growth in the face of tapering of quantitative easing. In this environment of tepid growth with low inflation, equities outperformed bonds and inflation hedges. The Fund benefitted from an overweight of equities funded principally from an underweight of inflation hedges and core bonds. Partially offsetting the benefits of this overweight to equities was an early overweight of emerging market equities, and a tactical position in emerging market debt. Emerging markets appeared attractively valued at the beginning of the fiscal year, but struggled in the face of downward growth revisions. The Fund exited the emerging market debt position, and trimmed the position in emerging market equities to a neutral weight over the course of the year.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION MODERATE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Moderate Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 7.34%* for Class A Shares and 7.76%* for Class 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 20.78%, -0.26%, and 7.72%, respectively.

The Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team and then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Moderate Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares performed approximately in line with the Moderate Blended Index. During the period, tactical decisions added approximately 0.6% to relative performance, with manager selection adding an additional 0.9%. Netting fees charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the Fund yielded a modest outperformance for the fiscal year. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that witnessed the beginning of stimulus tapering by the Federal Reserve, continued reductions in the growth outlook for emerging markets, and questions of the sustainability of domestic growth in the face of tapering quantitative easing.

WILMINGTON STRATEGIC ALLOCATION AGGRESSIVE FUND

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund (the “Fund”) had a total return of 11.84%* for Class A Shares and 12.11%* for Class 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 20.78%, 10.16%, and 13.07%, respectively.

The Wilmington Strategic Allocation Aggressive Fund is managed by first replicating tactical asset allocation decisions made by the Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. Investment Strategy Team. Then overlaying upon the asset allocation framework, active and passive managers that are closely benchmarked against the tactical asset allocations. The portfolio managers seek to add value through the combination of tactical asset allocation and manager selection. The primary focus of the portfolio managers is in beating the Aggressive Blended Index.

Over the past year, the Class I Shares underperformed the Aggressive Blended Index by 0.96%. During the period, both tactical decisions and manager performance contributed modestly to overall Fund performance, with expenses charged by the Fund and the various mutual funds employed by the Fund more than offsetting the benefit. During the year, the Fund faced an environment that witnessed the beginning of stimulus tapering by the Federal Reserve, continued reductions in the growth outlook for emerging markets, and questions of the sustainability of domestic growth in the face of tapering of quantitative easing. In this environment of tepid growth with low inflation, equities outperformed bonds and inflation hedges. The Fund benefitted from an overweight of equities funded principally from an underweight of inflation hedges. An early overweight of emerging market equities, which appeared attractively valued, detracted from performance as growth prospects dimmed. Throughout the period, this allocation was reduced, and exited the period as an underweight position. During calendar year 2013, in a scarce growth environment, investors favored growth equities over value. In a sudden and dramatic shift marked by Fed Chair Janet Yellens’ March 2014 speech, which reaffirmed the pace of stimulus tapering, the market shifted preference from growth to value. The Fund’s tactical overweight of growth equities penalized performance in this period.

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. The indices are unmanaged and it is not possible to invest directly in an index.

 

      

International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risks, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards.

 

      

Quantitative Easing (QE) is government monetary policy occasionally used to increase the money supply by buying government securities or other securities from the market. Quantitative easing increases the money supply by flooding the financial institutions with capital, in an effort to promote increased lending and liquidity.

 

      

Bond prices are sensitive to changes in interest rates and a rise in short-term interest rates could cause a decline in bond prices.

 

      

Due to its strategy of investing in other mutual funds, this Fund may incur certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present with a direct investment in the underlying funds.

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 Novem-ber 1, 2013 to April 30, 2014.

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.

# 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) “Implied credit spreads”, represented in absolute terms, are 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. Implied credit spreads 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.

(c) “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.

Wilmington Funds

April 30, 2014

1. ORGANIZATION

Wilmington Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 23 portfolios, 6 of which are presented herein (individually referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”). The remaining 17 funds 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 Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund (“Alternatives Fund”)(d)   

The Fund seeks 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 seeks to achieve long-term preservation of capital with current income.

 

Wilmington Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund

(“Strategic Allocation Conservative Fund”)(d)

  

The Fund seeks 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”)(d)

  

The Fund seeks 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 seeks a high level of total return consistent with an aggressive level of risk relative to other Wilmington Strategic Allocation Funds.

 

During the period, the Wilmington Rock Maple Alternatives Fund was renamed Wilmington Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund.

 

(d)

Diversified

The Trust offers 6 classes of shares: Class A, Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class, Class I and Institutional Class. Service Class, Select Class, Administrative Class and Institutional Class are not available for the Funds. 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 of Trustees (“Trustees”) 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”);

 

 

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;

 

 

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; and

 

 

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

 

 

April 30, 2014 / ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)      100   

 

 

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.

The Funds’ policy is to disclose 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, 2014, there were no 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 International Fund and the Real Asset 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) and exchange traded derivatives 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.

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.

Repurchase agreements are entered into by the Funds under Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the open repurchase agreements by counterparty which are subject to a MRA on a net payment basis are as follows:

Gains and losses realized on principal payment of mortgage-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of investment income. 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 basis 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.

Real Estate Investment Trusts – The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) that involve risks not associated with investing in stocks. Risks include declines in the value of real estate, general and economic conditions, changes in the value of the underlying property and defaults by borrowers. The value of assets in the real estate industry may go through cycles of relative underperformance and outperformance in comparison to equity securities markets in general. Dividend income is recorded using management’s estimate of the income included in distributions received from REIT investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amount. Estimates of income are adjusted in the Funds to the actual amounts when the amounts are determined.

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.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. During the year or period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

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 Trustees’ 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 Funds’ 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 Funds 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 Funds’ 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.

Securities Sold Short – 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

 

 

April 30, 2014 / ANNUAL REPORT


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)      102   

 

 

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.

In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreement, the Funds may be charged a fee on borrowed securities. Such fees are calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The Funds record these prime broker charges on a net basis as interest expense on securities sold short. In addition, the Funds are required to pay the lender any dividends declared on short positions. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as dividends expense on securities sold short.

The Funds are required to maintain margin cash balances at the prime broker sufficient to satisfy its short sales positions on a daily basis. The Fund is charged interest expense at the Fed Funds open rate plus 50 basis points on the amount of any shortfall in the required cash margin.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, the Alternatives Fund had average daily borrowings of $2,272,720 at an effective interest rate of 0.59% over 365 days. As of April 30, 2014, the Alternatives Fund had borrowings of $2,878,953. Interest expense on securities sold short for the year ended April 30, 2014 totaled $13,465.

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. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.

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

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which permit the Funds, under certain circumstances including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts to be received and create one single net payment due to or from the Fund.

At April 30, 2014, the securities loaned which are subject to a MSLA on a net payment basis are as follows:

(2) Net amount represents the net amount receivable due from the counterparty in the event of default.

3.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities are intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosures that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect and entity’s results of operations and financial position.

Options – Certain Funds may either purchase or write options in order to hedge against adverse market movements or fluctuations in 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

 

 

ANNUAL REPORT / April 30, 2014


 

   103    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

 

 

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. Risk of loss may exceed amounts recognized on the statements of assets and liabilities.

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 Portfolio 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.

Centrally cleared swap agreements – Centrally cleared swap agreements (“swap”) are agreements executed through a broker but are cleared through a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and a Fund’s counterparty on the swap becomes the CCP. The Fund is required to interface with the CCP through a broker and upon entering into a centrally cleared swap is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of a particular swap. Centrally cleared swaps are subject to general market risks and to liquidity risk. Pursuant to the swap, the Fund agrees to pay to or receive from the counterparty an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the swap (the “Variation Margin”). Such payments are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contract is closed or settled at which point the gain or loss is realized.

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 Portfolios 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)      106   

 

 

The Funds’ derivative financial instruments outstanding as of April 30, 2014, as disclosed in the Portfolios of Investments, are indicative of the volume of derivative activity for the Funds.

Certain Funds are parties to International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) Master Agreements (“MA”) with various counterparties that govern over-the-counter derivative and foreign exchange contracts entered into from time to time. The ISDA MA may contain provisions regarding, among other things, the parties’ general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral requirements, events of default and early termination. With respect to certain counterparties, in accordance with the terms of the ISDA MA, collateral posted to the Fund is held in a segregated account by the Fund’s custodian and with respect to those amounts which can be sold or repledged, are presented in the Fund’s portfolio or Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

At April 30, 2014, derivative assets and liabilities (by type) held by the Funds are as follows:

4.     FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to the tax treatment of expiring capital loss carryforwards, net investment losses, the “mark-to-market” of certain passive foreign investment companies (PFICs), losses deferred due to wash sales, partnership adjustments, losses deferred due to straddles, and adjustments for IRS Section 1256 contracts. GAAP requires that permanent differences in net investment income and realized gains and losses due to differences between financial reporting and tax reporting be reclassified between various components of net assets and have no effect on the net assets nor the NAV of the Funds.

As of April 30, 2014, 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 2013, 2012, and 2011, as well as the current tax year, remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.

For the year ended April 30, 2014, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

 

    Fund   Paid-in
Capital

Undistributed Net

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are 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, 2014, 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:

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

Investment Advisor – Wilmington Funds Management Corporation (“WFMC” or the “Advisor”) serves as the Investment Advisor to each of the Funds. Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (“WTIA”) provides sub-advisory services to the Funds. 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, 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. For their services, the Funds pay 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, 2014, 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.

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, including the portfolios of investments, of the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund, Wilmington Multi-Manager 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”) as of April 30, 2014, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and 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, 2014, 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 Multi-Manager 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, 2014, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and 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

Approval of New Subadvisory Agreements

At the March 12-13, 2014 meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “March meeting”), the Board, including the Independent Trustees, discussed and unanimously approved, for the Wilmington Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund and the Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund (each, a “Fund”), investment subadvisory agreements (the “New Subadvisory Agreements”) with Loeb King Capital Management (“Loeb King”) and J O Hambro Capital Management, respectively (“JOHCM” and, collectively with Loeb King, the “New Subadvisors”). The Trustees were provided with detailed materials relating to the New Subadvisors in advance of and at the meeting. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the approval are discussed below.

At the March meeting, the Trustees met in person with Wilmington Funds Management Corporation and Wilmington Trust Investment Advisors, Inc. (collectively, the “Advisor”), Trust and Independent Legal Counsel, representatives of the New Subadvisors, and others. The Wilmington Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund has multiple subadvisers but only the contract with Loeb King, to manage a portion of the Fund’s assets, was subject to approval. The Wilmington Multi-Manager International Fund has multiple subadvisors but only the contract with JOHCM, to manage a portion of the Fund’s assets, was subject to approval.

In evaluating the New Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees took into account management styles, investment strategies, and prevailing market conditions as well as each New Subadvisor’s investment philosophy and process, past performance, and personnel. The Trustees also reviewed information concerning: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by each New Subadvisor; (ii) the prior investment performance of each New Subadvisor; (iii) the prior investment performance of each Fund against a relevant benchmark and against other comparable mutual funds; (iv) each New Subadvisor’s anticipated cost of/profitability in providing the services to the applicable Fund; (v) possible fall-out benefits to each New Subadvisor due to its position with the applicable Fund, including the use of soft dollars in the case of JOHCM; (vi) the proposed fees of the New Subadvisors and fees charged by other investment advisors to other mutual funds for similar services; and (vii) the Advisor’s recommendation that the Independent Trustees approve the New Subadvisory Agreements. The New Subadvisors and the Trustees did not specifically address economies of scale due to the amount of assets to be managed by each New Subadvisor, although the New Subadvisory Agreement with Loeb King contains breakpoints.

After discussion and consideration among themselves, and with Independent Legal Counsel and the Advisor, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that the fees to be paid by each Fund to Loeb King and JOHCM, as applicable, under the New Subadvisory Agreements appeared to be fair and reasonable in light of the information provided. Based on all relevant information and factors, none of which was individually determinative of the outcome, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the approval of the New Subadvisory Agreements for a two-year period was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and approved the New Subadvisory Agreements.

We may share information when it is necessary and required to process a transaction or to service a customer relationship. For example, information may be shared with a company that provides account record keeping services or a company that provides proxy services to shareholders.

 

We may share information when it is required or permitted by law. For example, information may be shared in response to a subpoena or to protect you against fraud or with someone who has established a legal beneficial interest, such as a power of attorney.

 

We may disclose some or all of the information described above to companies that perform marketing or other services on our behalf. For example, we may share information about you with the financial intermediary (bank, investment bank or broker-dealer) through whom you purchased the Funds’ products or services, or with providers of marketing, legal, accounting or other professional services. The Funds will not, however, disclose a consumer’s account number or similar form of access number or access code for credit card, deposit or transaction accounts to any nonaffiliated third party for use in telemarketing, direct mail or other marketing purposes.

We require third parties to comply with our standards regarding security and confidentiality of such information. We do not permit them to use that information for their own or any other purposes, or rent, sell, trade or otherwise release or disclose the information to any other party. These requirements are reflected in written agreements between the Funds and the third party service providers.

The Funds protect your personal information in several ways. We maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your nonpublic personal information.

Each of the following sections explains an aspect of the Funds’ commitment to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy.

Employee Access to Information:

Our Code of Ethics, which applies to all employees, restricts the use of customer information and requires that it be held in the strictest of confidence.

(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.

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 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 or 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.

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