Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2018

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you 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.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended February 28, 2018 (9/1/17-2/28/18).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Schedules of Investments (Unaudited)     

 

The categories of investments are shown as a percentage of total net assets for each Fund as of February 28, 2018. Call dates contained within the Schedules of Investments represent the next possible date the security can be redeemed, at the option of the issuer, determined as of February 28, 2018. Maturity dates contained within the Schedules of Investments represent the stated legal maturity date or mandatory put date. Certain securities may be subject to demand features which allow the security to be redeemed prior to final maturity date. In accordance with Rule 2a-7, securities held in the money market funds provide for the return of principal and interest within 397 days due to a scheduled final maturity date or through specific demand features. Demand features entitle a Fund to receive the principal amount of the instrument from the issuer or a third party (1) on no more than 30 calendar days’ notice or (2) at specified intervals not exceeding 397 calendar days.

 

* Portfolio composition will change due to ongoing management of the Fund. The percentages are based on net assets at the close of business on February 28, 2018 and may not necessarily reflect adjustments that are routinely made when presenting net assets for formal financial statement processes.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations—Listed equity securities are valued each trading day at the last sale price or official closing price reported on a national securities exchange. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued each trading day at the last

closing price on the principal exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the time for determination of Net Asset Value (“NAV”) or at fair value as discussed below. Equity securities without a reported trade, U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities with maturities of 60 days or more, unlisted securities, and private placement securities are generally valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked price as furnished by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities that are not exchange traded are valued by an

Table of Contents
     BMO Funds

 

independent pricing service, taking into consideration yield, liquidity, risk, credit quality, coupon, maturity, type of issue, and any other factors or market data the pricing service deems relevant. Fixed income securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase, and of sufficient credit quality, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value. The money market funds use the amortized cost method to value portfolio securities in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the Act.

Securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available, or are deemed to be inaccurate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The Directors have established a Pricing Committee, which is responsible for determinations of fair value, subject to the supervision of the Directors. In determining fair value, the Pricing Committee takes into account all information available and any factors it deems appropriate. Consequently, the price of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments; it is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different than the value that would be realized upon the sale of that security and the differences may be material to the NAV of the respective Fund or the financial statements presented.

Securities held in certain funds may be listed on foreign exchanges that do not value their listed securities at the same time each Fund calculates its NAV. Most foreign markets close well before each Fund values its securities, generally 3:00 p.m. (Central Time). The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, may have occurred in the interim.

The Pricing Committee may determine that a security needs to be fair valued if, among other things, it believes the value of the security might have been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the market in which the security was principally traded, but before the time for determination of the NAV (“a subsequent event”). A subsequent event might include a company-specific development (for example, announcement of a merger that is made after the close of the foreign market), a development that might affect an entire market or region (for example, weather related events) or a potentially global development (such as a terrorist attack that may be expected to have an effect on investor expectations worldwide). The Funds have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in fair valuing foreign securities. The service utilizes statistical data based on historical performance of securities, markets, and other data in developing factors used to estimate a fair value.

Repurchase Agreements—The Funds’ policy requires the custodian bank to take possession, to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or to have segregated within the custodian bank’s vault, all securities held as collateral under repurchase agreement transactions. Additionally, procedures have been established by the Funds to monitor, on a daily basis, the market value of each repurchase agreement’s collateral to ensure that the value of collateral at least equals the repurchase price to be paid under the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest.

The Funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with banks and other recognized financial institutions, such as broker-dealers, which are deemed by the Adviser (or sub-advisers, as applicable) to be creditworthy pursuant to the guidelines and/or standards reviewed or established by the Directors. Risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to honor the terms of the repurchase agreement. Accordingly, the Funds could receive less than the repurchase price on the sale of collateral securities.

Investment Income, Expenses, and Distributions—Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividend income, realized gain distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. Paid-in-kind interest included in interest income, if any, is accrued daily.

The Funds offer multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution, administration, and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in class-specific expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of total shares outstanding of each class without distinction between share classes.

Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as shareholder servicing fees, are allocated directly to that class.

Premium and Discount Amortization/Paydown Gains and Losses—Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized/accreted for tax and financial statement purposes. Gains and losses realized on principal payments of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are classified as part of interest income.

Federal Income Taxes—The policies and procedures of the Funds require compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribution to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and unrealized appreciation on investments have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions—The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the commitment to purchase securities. 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.

Short Sales—Certain Funds may sell a security they do not own in anticipation that the price of the security will decline. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The Fund closes the short sale by purchasing the security at the market price at the time of closure. The price at such time may be more or less than the

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)     

 

price at which the security was sold by the Fund. Until the transaction is closed, the Fund is required to pay the lender amounts equal to dividend or interest that accrue during the period of the loan which is recorded as an expense. To borrow the security, the Fund also may be required to pay a premium or an interest fee, which are recorded as interest expense. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sells the security short, or a loss, potentially unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the closing of a short sale. The Fund may not always be able to borrow a security or to close out a short position at a particular time or at an acceptable price. If the price of the borrowed security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund closes the short sale, the Fund will experience a loss. The Fund’s loss on a short sale is the maximum attainable price of the security (which could be limitless) less the price the Fund paid for the security at the time it was borrowed.

Futures Contracts—Certain Funds may purchase futures contracts to manage cash flows, enhance yield, or 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 changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Options Contracts—Certain Funds may write covered call and put options on futures, swaps, securities, or currencies a Fund owns, or in which it may invest to create investment exposure consistent with their investment objectives. Writing put options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Writing call options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. When a Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as written options outstanding in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received, or made, from writing options with premiums to be determined on a future date are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options that expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. A Fund, as a writer of an option, has no control over whether the underlying future, swap, security, or currency may be sold (called) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the future, swap, security, or currency underlying the written option. The risk exists that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid market.

Certain Funds also may purchase put and call options. Purchasing call options tends to increase a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease a Fund’s exposure to the underlying instrument. A Fund pays a premium, which is included in a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked- to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options that expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying future, swap, security, or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Foreign Exchange Contracts—Certain Funds may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts as a way of managing foreign exchange rate risk. Certain Funds may enter into these contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date as a hedge or cross hedge against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. The objective of foreign currency hedging transactions is to reduce the risk that the U.S. dollar value of these Funds’ foreign currency denominated securities will decline in value due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. All foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market daily at the applicable translation rates resulting in unrealized gains or losses. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the foreign currency exchange contract is offset by entering into a closing transaction or by the delivery or receipt of the currency. Risk may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.

Foreign Currency Translation—The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate 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 the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and 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 each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Restricted Securities—Restricted securities are securities that may be resold only upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities 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 restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid under criteria established by the Directors.

Redemption Fees—The International Funds impose a 2% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held for 30 days or less. All redemption fees are recorded by the International Funds as paid-in-capital.

Securities Lending—Certain Funds participate in one of two securities lending programs, providing for the lending of corporate bonds, equity, and government securities to qualified brokers, in exchange for the opportunity to earn additional income for participating. State Street Bank & Trust Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. serve as the securities lending agents for the International Funds and non-International Funds participating in the programs, respectively. The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for the securities and record a corresponding payable for collateral due to the respective broker. The amount of cash collateral received is maintained at a minimum level of 100% of the prior day’s market value on securities and accrued interest loaned. Collateral is reinvested in short-term securities including overnight repurchase agreements, commercial paper, master notes, floating rate corporate notes (with at least quarterly reset rates), and money market funds. The valuation of these collateral securities is discussed in “Investment Valuations” above. When a Fund lends its portfolio securities, it is subject to the risk that it may not be able to get the portfolio securities back from the borrower on a timely basis, in which case the Fund may lose certain investment opportunities. A Fund also is subject to the risks associated with the investments of cash collateral received from the borrower.

Cash collateral received as part of the International Funds securities lending program was invested in the following security as of February 28, 2018:

  (1) The collateral pool is managed by the fixed income group within the Adviser. Each Fund owns a pro-rata interest in the collateral pool determined by the value of securities on loan for such Fund.
  (2) Floating rate securities are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate. These securities are shown at their current rates as of February 28, 2018.
  (3) Each issue shows the rate of discount at the time of purchase.
  (4) Denotes an investment in an affiliated entity.

Commitments and Contingencies—In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Corporation’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Corporation that have not yet occurred. However, the Corporation has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurement

Fair Valuation Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting issuer (observable inputs), and (2) the reporting issuer’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed

based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Common and preferred stocks, options and futures contracts, and U.S. registered mutual funds are generally categorized as Level 1.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program, and securities valued by an independent fair value pricing service are generally categorized as Level 2.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs, including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Unit (or Its Equivalent), modifying ASC 820. Under the modifications, investments in private investment funds valued at net asset value are no longer included in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities as of February 28, 2018.

The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of February 28, 2018, in valuing the Funds’ assets:

Interfund Borrowing and Lending—The Funds participate in an interfund lending program. This program allows the Funds to lend cash to and/or borrow cash from other Funds for temporary purposes, although the Money Market Funds cannot participate as borrowers. The program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that the interfund loan rate to be charged to the Funds under the program is (i) more favorable to the lending Fund than the rate it could otherwise obtain from investing cash in repurchase agreements or purchasing shares of a Money Market Fund and (ii) more favorable to the borrowing Fund than the lowest interest rate at which bank short-term loans would be available to the Funds. In addition, a Fund may participate in the program only if its participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies and limitations. The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the interfund lending program. No interfund borrowing or lending balances existed as of February 28, 2018.

Funds utilizing the Interfund lending program, borrowing from the BMO Government Money Market Fund during the period ended February 28, 2018, were as follows:

7.   Line of Credit

The Corporation, on behalf of the respective Funds, participated in a $25 million unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with UMB Bank, n.a. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% and a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion with no administrative fee. No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at February 28, 2018. The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the period ended February 28, 2018.

9.   Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, paydown gain or loss, market discount accretion, premium amortization and expiring capital loss carryforwards.

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the net asset value of the Funds.

The Funds complied with FASB interpretation Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not,” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by the taxing authorities (i.e., the last four tax years and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds’ tax returns and concluded that Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes resulted in no effect on the Funds’ reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the period ended February 28, 2018. Management of the Funds also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation is attributable in part to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies, derivatives, foreign unrealized capital gains tax, foreign currency and the discount accretion/premium amortization of debt securities.

At August 31, 2017, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which reduce the Funds’ taxable income arising from future net realized gains 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 Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Code, such capital loss carryforwards will expire as follows:

Approval of Amendments to the Fee Schedule of the Advisory Agreement for the BMO Large-Cap Value Fund and the BMO Large-Cap Growth Fund

At a meeting held on February 7-8, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of BMO Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”), including the Directors who are not “interested persons” of the Corporation as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered an amendment to the investment advisory agreement between the Corporation and BMO Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) on behalf of the BMO Large-Cap Value Fund and the BMO Large-Cap Growth Fund series of the Corporation (each a “Fund”) to reflect an amended fee schedule. The contractual fee schedule for each Fund was proposed to be amended to reflect a reduced advisory fee for each Fund. In approving the amended fee schedules, the Board took into consideration that the contractual fee to be paid to the Adviser by each Fund under the amended fee schedule would not be less advantageous to the Fund and its shareholders. In addition, the Board considered that the Adviser represented that the nature and quality of services the Adviser provides to each Fund would not be affected by the change in fee schedule.

Expense Example (Unaudited)    

 

For the Six Months Ended February 28, 2018

As a shareholder of the Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you 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.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period ended February 28, 2018 (9/1/17-2/28/18).

Actual Expenses

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

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on a Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund and 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 and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing in a mix (without limitation) of BMO Funds and unaffiliated mutual funds. The Funds are designed to provide investors with investment management, asset allocation, and ongoing reallocation over time. Each Fund is considered a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. A fund of funds bears its own direct expenses in addition to bearing a proportionate share of expenses charged to the underlying funds in which it invests.

 

2.   Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services—Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuations—Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at net asset value.

Securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available, or are deemed to be inaccurate, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Directors (the “Directors”). The Directors have established a Pricing Committee, which is responsible for determinations of fair value, subject to the supervision of the Directors. In determining fair value, the Pricing Committee takes into account all information available and any factors it deems appropriate. Consequently, the price of securities used by a Fund to calculate its Net Asset Value (“NAV”) may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different than the value that would be realized upon the sale of that security and the differences may be material to the NAV of the respective Fund or the financial statements presented.

 

36


Table of Contents
    BMO Funds

 

The Pricing Committee may determine that a security needs to be fair valued. In valuing underlying fund investments, the Funds use the NAVs reported by the underlying funds. An underlying fund may need to fair value one or more of its investments, which may, in turn, require a Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the underlying fund’s NAV.

Investment Income, Expenses, and Distributions—Investment income and expenses are accrued daily. The Funds distribute net investment income, if any, and net realized gains (net of any capital loss carryovers) annually. Dividend income, realized gain distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair market value. Paid-in-kind interest included in interest income, if any, is accrued daily.

The Funds offer multiple classes of shares which differ in their respective distribution, administration, and service fees. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Funds. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential dividend rights; differences in per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in class-specific expenses. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the value of total shares outstanding of each class without distinction between share classes. Expenses attributable to a particular class of shares, such as shareholder servicing fees, are allocated directly to that class.

Federal Income Taxes—The policies and procedures of the Funds require compliance with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and distribution to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for federal tax are necessary. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Securities of Other Investment Companies & Underlying Fund Investment Risk—The Funds may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, within the limits prescribed by the 1940 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder. Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, Fund shareholders indirectly will bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations. The Funds also may invest in investment companies that are not organized under the laws of the United States. The Fund’s risks are directly related to the risks of the underlying funds. It is important to understand the risks associated with investing in the underlying funds.

Commitments and Contingencies—In the normal course of business, the Corporation enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Corporation’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Corporation that have not yet occurred. However, the Corporation has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Other—Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.

 

3.   Fair Value Measurement

Fair Valuation Measurement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and requires disclosure about fair value measurements. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting issuer (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting issuer’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Common and preferred stocks, options and futures contracts, and U.S. registered mutual funds are generally categorized as Level 1.

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). Fixed income securities, repurchase agreements, cash collateral received as part of the securities lending program, and securities valued by an independent fair value pricing service are generally categorized as Level 2.

Level 3—significant unobservable inputs, including management’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Unit (or Its Equivalent), modifying ASC 820. Under the modifications, investments in private investment funds valued at net asset value are no longer included in the fair value hierarchy. For the period ended February 28, 2018, the Funds had no investments in private investment funds, and there were no investments excluded from the fair value hierarchy. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers between

category levels at the end of the period. For the period ended February 28, 2018, there were no transfers in and out of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. The Funds did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities as of February 28, 2018.

  (1) As a result of reimbursing expenses including acquired fund expenses, the Adviser reimbursed amounts in excess of the respective share classes operating expenses. The aggregate excess reimbursement is accounted for as “Excess expense reimbursement from investment adviser” included in investment income on the Statements of Operations.

Shareholder Servicing Fees—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Agreement with the Adviser, each Fund pays the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class shares for the period. The fee paid to the Adviser is used to finance certain services for shareholders and to maintain shareholder accounts.

Distribution Services Fees—The Funds are subject to a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan authorizes payments by the Fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of its Retirement Class R-3 shares. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur distribution expenses of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Retirement Class R-3 shares.

Administration Fees—Each Fund pays the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets per class (except the Retirement class R-6, which does not pay an Administration Fee).

For the period ended February 28, 2018, the Funds were charged the following Administration Fees per class:

Interfund Borrowing and Lending—The Funds participate in an interfund lending program. This program allows the Funds to lend cash to and/or borrow cash from other Funds for temporary purposes. The program is subject to a number of conditions, including the requirement that the interfund loan rate to be charged to the Funds under the program is (i) more favorable to the lending Fund than the rate it could otherwise obtain from investing cash in repurchase agreements or purchasing shares of BMO Prime Money Market Fund or BMO Government Money Market Fund and (ii) more favorable to the borrowing Fund than the lowest interest rate at which bank short-term loans would be available to the Funds. In addition, a Fund may participate in the program only if its participation is consistent with the Fund’s investment policies and limitations. The Directors are responsible for the oversight of the interfund lending program. No interfund borrowing or lending balances existed as of February 28, 2018.

Funds utilizing the Interfund lending program, borrowing from the BMO Government Money Market Fund during the period ended February 28, 2018, were as follows:

6.   Line of Credit

The Corporation, on behalf of the respective Funds, participated in a $25 million unsecured, committed revolving line of credit (“LOC”) agreement with UMB Bank, n.a. The LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings are charged interest at a rate of the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.25% and a commitment fee of 0.20% per annum on the daily unused portion with no administrative fee. No borrowings were outstanding under the LOC at February 28, 2018. The Funds did not utilize the LOC during the period ended February 28, 2018.

8.   Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatments for net operating loss, foreign currency transactions, paydown gain or loss, market discount accretion, premium amortization and expiring capital loss carryforwards.

To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts, on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification and had no impact on the net asset value of the Funds.

The Funds complied with FASB interpretation Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes which provides guidance for how uncertain tax provisions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not,” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the current year.

Table of Contents
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)    

 

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statutes of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by the taxing authorities (i.e., the last four tax years and the interim tax period since then). The Funds, have no examinations in progress. For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the reporting period, management of the Funds reviewed all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds’ tax returns and concluded that Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes resulted in no effect on the Funds’ reported net assets or results of operations as of and during the period ended February 28, 2018. Management of the Funds also is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of recognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
