President’s Letter

 

Dear Shareholders:

I hope this letter finds you healthy. The semiannual report of the Carillon Family of Funds for the six-month period ended April 30, 2021 follows.

I am honored to write to you for the first time as the new President of your fund family. I have spent more than 20 years in the financial industry and have been the funds’ Principal Executive Officer since 2010. In addition, just after the period end, we welcomed new leadership at the funds’ investment adviser, Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. Robert D. Kendall, who has worked in the financial industry since 1996, started as the firm’s president on May 7.

I am proud to share that the funds reached important milestones and saw significant growth during this period. For the first time, thanks to your trust in us, the Carillon Family of Funds surpassed $20 billion in assets, reaching more than $21 billion at the end of this six-month period.

We entered this period in the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic and left it as multiple vaccines have been administered to hundreds of millions of people, though much work remains. Your fund family has continued to work efficiently and effectively on your behalf amid physical distancing requirements and shifting market dynamics.

The pace of change continues to be rapid, reinforcing the need for investors to focus on long-term goals and plans. We see opportunity in the current market environment for our

research-driven investment managers and their actively managed strategies. We believe that Carillon’s diverse array of funds, spanning small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, and international equities, as well as fixed income, can help investors navigate current conditions and build toward long-term plans.

As with all investments, investing in any mutual fund carries certain risks. The principal risk factors for each fund are described at the end of this report. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before you invest. Contact us at 800.421.4184 or carillontower.com or call your financial professional for a prospectus, or summary prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Carillon Family of Funds. Read the prospectus, or summary prospectus, carefully before you invest or send money.

We are grateful for your continued support of the Carillon Family of Funds and hope we can continue to be a partner in helping you achieve your financial goals.

Sincerely,

* The table depicts the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”), each of which is a widely used independent nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). NRSRO ratings are shown because they provide an independent analysis of the credit quality of the Fund’s investments. These credit quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Securities may be rated by other NRSROs and these ratings may be higher or lower. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the Fund’s portfolio investment process. Credit quality ratings are subject to change without notice. For more information on S&P’s rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select “Understanding Ratings” under Rating Resources on the homepage. For more information on Moody’s rating methodology, please visit moodys.com and select “Rating Methodologies” under Research & Ratings on the homepage. For more information on Fitch’s rating methodology, please visit fitchratings.com and select “Ratings Definitions” at the bottom of the homepage. Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Manager”) also performs its own fundamental credit analysis of each security. As part of its fundamental credit analysis, the Manager considers various criteria, including industry specific actions, peer comparisons, payment ranking, and structure-specific characteristics. Any securities that are not rated by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch appear in the table as “Not rated.” However, these securities are analyzed and monitored by the Manager on an ongoing basis. Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government are not rated, but are treated by the Fund, and reflected in the table above, as being rated AAA/Aaa/AAA for credit quality purposes.

There is $1,503 of variation margin due from the broker to the Fund as of the date of this report.

(a) If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the 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 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 of underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(b) The maximum potential amount the Fund 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.

(c) The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent 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 period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, 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 table depicts the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”), each of which is a widely used independent nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). NRSRO ratings are shown because they provide an independent analysis of the credit quality of the Fund’s investments. These credit quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Securities may be rated by other NRSROs and these ratings may be higher or lower. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the Fund’s portfolio investment process. Credit quality ratings are subject to change without notice. For more information on S&P’s rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select “Understanding Ratings” under Rating Resources on the homepage. For more information on Moody’s rating methodology, please visit moodys.com and select “Rating Methodologies” under Research & Ratings on the homepage. For more information on Fitch’s rating methodology, please visit fitchratings.com and select “Ratings Definitions” at the bottom of the homepage. Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Manager”) also performs its own fundamental credit analysis of each security. As part of its fundamental credit analysis, the Manager considers various criteria, including industry specific actions, peer comparisons, payment ranking, and structure-specific characteristics. Any securities that are not rated by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch appear in the table as “Not rated.” However, these securities are analyzed and monitored by the Manager on an ongoing basis. Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government are not rated, but are treated by the Fund, and reflected in the table above, as being rated AAA/Aaa/AAA for credit quality purposes.

(c)The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent 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 period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, 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 table depicts the long-term credit-quality ratings assigned to the Fund’s portfolio holdings by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), and Fitch Ratings Inc. (“Fitch”), each of which is a widely used independent nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). NRSRO ratings are shown because they provide an independent analysis of the credit quality of the Fund’s investments. These credit quality ratings are shown without regard to gradations within a given rating category. For example, securities rated “A-” have been included in the “A” rated category. Securities may be rated by other NRSROs and these ratings may be higher or lower. When ratings from multiple agencies are available, the highest is used, consistent with the Fund’s portfolio investment process. Credit quality ratings are subject to change without notice. For more information on S&P’s rating methodology, please visit standardandpoors.com and select “Understanding Ratings” under Rating Resources on the homepage. For more information on Moody’s rating methodology, please visit moodys.com and select “Rating Methodologies” under Research & Ratings on the homepage. For more information on Fitch’s rating methodology, please visit fitchratings.com and select “Ratings Definitions” at the bottom of the homepage. Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Manager”) also performs its own fundamental credit analysis of each security. As part of its fundamental credit analysis, the Manager considers various criteria, including industry specific actions, peer comparisons, payment ranking, and structure-specific characteristics. Any securities that are not rated by S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch appear in the table as “Not rated.” However, these securities are analyzed and monitored by the Manager on an ongoing basis. Government securities that are issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government are not rated, but are treated by the Fund, and reflected in the table above, as being rated AAA/Aaa/AAA for credit quality purposes.

(a) If the Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Fund will either (i) pay to the buyer of protection amount in the form of cash or securities equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation of underlying securities comprising the 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 of underlying securities comprising the referenced index.

(b) The maximum potential amount the Fund 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.

(c)The prices and resulting values for credit default swap agreements on credit indices serve as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represent 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 period end. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, 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.

Class I, Class R-3, Class R-5, Class R-6 and Class Y shares are each sold without a front-end sales charge or a CDSC.

Note 2  |  Significant accounting policies  |  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. GAAP.

Use of estimates  |  The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

Valuation of securities  |  The price of each Fund’s shares is based on the NAV per share of each class of a Fund. Each Fund normally determines the NAV of its shares each business day as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq (typically 4:00 p.m. ET). A Fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption in trading on either the NYSE or Nasdaq as a closure of that particular market, and will price its shares as of the normally scheduled close of the NYSE and Nasdaq if the disruption directly affects only one of those markets. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Funds are not required to recalculate their NAV.

Generally, the Funds value portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available at market value; however, a Fund may adjust the market quotation price to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the Fund’s determination of the NAV.

A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:

 

   

The quotation may be stale;

   

The security is not actively traded;

   

Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market;

   

The security is newly issued;

   

Issuer-specific or vendor specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or

   

Due to the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq.

Issuer-specific events that may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable include:

 

   

A merger or insolvency;

   

Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or

   

Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. markets.

For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by independent pricing services, subject to oversight by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”). The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value in good faith using Pricing and Valuation Procedures (“Procedures”) approved by the Board. A Fund may fair value small-cap securities, for example, that are thinly traded or illiquid. Fair value is the amount that the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale. Fair value requires consideration of all appropriate factors, including indications of fair value available from independent pricing services. A fair value price is an estimated price and may vary from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAV.

Pursuant to the Procedures, and subject to the Board’s oversight, Carillon Tower has established a Valuation Committee (“Valuation Committee”), comprised of certain officers of the Trust and other employees of Carillon Tower and its affiliates, to carry out various functions associated with properly valuing securities in the

Funds’ portfolios. The composition of this Valuation Committee may change from time to time. The Valuation Committee follows fair valuation guidelines as set forth in the Procedures to make fair value determinations on all securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable. For portfolio securities fair valued by the Valuation Committee, Carillon Tower checks fair value prices by comparing the fair value of the security with values that are available from other sources (if any). Carillon Tower compares the fair value of the security to the next-day opening price or next actual sale price, when applicable. Carillon Tower documents and reports to the Valuation Committee such comparisons when they are made. The Valuation Committee reports such comparisons to the Board at their regularly scheduled meetings. The Board retains the responsibility for periodic review and consideration of the appropriateness of any fair value pricing methodology established or implemented for each Fund. Fair value pricing methods, the Procedures and independent pricing services can change from time to time as approved by the Board and may occur as a result of look-back testing results or changes in industry best practices.

There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used by a Fund on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than a market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading a Fund’s shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:

 

   

Domestic exchange-traded equity securities  |  Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

 

   

Foreign equity securities  |  If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time the trading of a particular security ends in a foreign market and a Fund’s NAV calculation. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unavailable or unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that Carillon Tower determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Carillon Tower also utilizes a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. Because the NAV of a Fund’s shares is determined only on business days of the Fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a Fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the Fund.

 

   

Fixed income securities  |  Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds, short-term securities (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less), and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by independent pricing services. Evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors and appropriate methodologies that have been considered by the Board such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity and other market data. If the evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

 

   

Futures and Options  |  Futures and options are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the period ended April 30, 2021, only the Unconstrained Bond Fund held futures. None of the Funds held options during the period ended April 30, 2021.

 

   

Credit default swaps  |  Credit default swaps are valued with prices provided by independent pricing services. If prices provided by independent pricing services are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the period ended April 30, 2021, only the Core Bond Fund, Core Plus Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund held credit default swaps.

 

   

Forward contracts  |  Forward contracts are valued daily at current forward rates provided by an independent pricing service. If prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. During the period ended April 30, 2021, only the Core Plus Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund held forwards.

 

   

Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs)  |  Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV. The prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which these companies will use fair value pricing and the effect of the fair value pricing. In addition, investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If the prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures.

Fair value measurements  |  Each Fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as:

Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;

Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and

Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. A Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy. Investments falling into the Level 3 category may be classified as such due to a lack of market transparency and corroboration to support the quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable entity data.

At April 30, 2021, the Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments.

Derivatives  |  The following disclosure provides certain information about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities.

 

   

Forward currency contracts  |  Each of the Funds’ policies, except Small Cap Growth, Core Bond, International, Mid Cap, and Small Cap, permit the Funds to enter into forward currency contracts (“forward contracts”) for hedging (such as to hedge the impact of adverse changes in the relationships between the US dollar and various foreign currencies), including transaction hedging, anticipatory hedging, cross hedging, proxy hedging, and position hedging, or for any other lawful purpose consistent with their investment objectives. Forward contracts are agreements between two parties to exchange different currencies at a specified rate at an agreed upon future date. The fair value of a forward contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. Outstanding forward contracts are valued daily at current forward rates and the resulting change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time the forward contract was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The risks to the Funds of entering into forward contracts include the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, future adverse movement in currency values and contract positions that are not exact offsets. Details of Forward Contracts, if any, at period end are included in the Investment Portfolios under the caption “Forward Contracts.” Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

 

   

Credit default swap contracts  |  The International Stock, Core Bond, Core Plus Bond and Unconstrained Bond Funds’ policies permit the Funds to enter into credit default swap agreements to enhance the Funds’ returns, increase liquidity and/or gain exposure to certain instruments or markets (i.e., the corporate bond market) in a relatively efficient way. The credit default swap agreement may have as a reference obligation one or more securities that are or are not currently held by a Fund. The Funds may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or seller. The buyer in a credit default swap agreement is obligated to pay the seller a periodic fee, typically expressed in basis points on the principal amount of the underlying obligation (the “notional value”), over the term of the agreement in return for a contingent payment upon the occurrence of a credit event with respect to the underlying reference obligation. A credit event is typically a default. If a Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the Fund may lose its investment and recover nothing. 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 value 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 value of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. As a seller, a Fund accrues for and receives a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the agreement, which typically is between one month and five years, provided that no credit event occurs. 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 value 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 value 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 value of the swap less the recovery value of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If a credit event occurs, the maximum payout amount for a sale contract is limited to the notional value of the swap contract (“Maximum Payout Amount”). 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 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. Interest paid to or by the Funds is accrued daily and included in realized gain (loss) on swap agreements. The contracts are marked-to-market daily using fair value estimates provided by an independent pricing service. Daily fluctuations in the value of centrally cleared credit default contracts are recorded in variation margin on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Gains or losses are realized upon termination of the contracts. Credit default swaps sold by a Fund may involve greater risks than if a Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty credit risk and credit risk of the issuer. Details of swap contracts, if any, at period end are included in the Investment Portfolios under the caption “Swap Contracts.” Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

 

   

Futures contracts  |  Each of the Funds’ policies, except Capital Appreciation, International Stock, Small Cap Growth, International, Mid Cap, and Small Cap, permit the Funds to enter into futures contracts (“Futures”), including interest rate, bond, U.S. Treasury and fixed income index Futures, as a hedge against movements in the equity and bond markets in order to establish more definitively the effective return on securities held or intended to be acquired by the Funds or for other purposes permissible under the Commodity Exchange Act, including as a means to gain or reduce exposure to a reference instrument without actually buying or selling it. When a Fund enters into Futures, it must deliver to an account controlled by the futures commission merchant (“FCM”) an amount referred to as “initial margin.” Initial margin requirements are determined by the respective exchanges on which the Futures are traded and the FCM. Thereafter, a “variation margin” amount may be required to be paid by the Fund or received by the Fund in accordance with margin controls set for such accounts, depending upon changes in the marked-to-market value of the Futures. The account is marked-to-market daily and the unrealized gains or losses are recorded as variation margin and monitored by the Manager and custodian on a daily basis. When Futures are closed out, the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss. The risks of entering into Futures include the possibility that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with the changes in the value of the underlying instrument. The purchase of Futures involves the risk that the Fund could lose more than the amount invested in Futures. Details of futures contracts, if any, at period end are included in the Investment Portfolios under the caption “Futures Contracts.” Refer to Note 6 for additional information.

During the period ended April 30, 2021, the average of month-end derivative positions (notional value in U.S. dollars) were as follows:

Foreign currency transactions  |  The books and records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency transactions are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: (i) market value of investment securities, other assets and other liabilities at the daily rates of exchange, and (ii) purchases and sales of investment securities, dividend and interest income and certain expenses at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of the investments. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investment transactions. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions and the net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies include gains and losses between trade and settlement date on securities transactions, gains and losses arising from the purchase and sale of forward foreign currency exchange contracts and gains and losses between the ex and payment dates on dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes.

To-Be-Announced Securities  |  The Core Bond, Core Plus Bond and Unconstrained Bond Funds’ policies permit the Funds to enter into to-be-announced securities. A to-be-announced mortgage-backed security (“TBA”) is a mortgage-backed security, such as a Ginnie Mae pass-through security, that is purchased or sold with specific pools of cash, or cash equivalents, set aside in an amount equal to the price of the Ginnie Mae pass-through security, to be announced on a future settlement date. At the time of purchase of a TBA, the seller does not specify the particular mortgage-backed securities to be delivered but rather agrees to accept any mortgage-backed security that meets specified terms. The Fund and the seller would agree upon the issuer, interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages, but the seller would not identify the specific underlying mortgages until shortly before it issues the mortgage-backed security. TBAs increase interest rate risks because the underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by a Fund. As a purchaser of a TBA, the Fund will segregate or “earmark” liquid securities in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board equal to the value of the TBA, marked to-market daily in accordance with pertinent SEC positions. As a seller of a TBA, the Fund will segregate or “earmark” in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board the equivalent deliverable security up to the obligation required to be delivered.

Real estate investment trusts (“REIT(s)”)  |  There are certain additional risks involved in investing in REITs. These include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, changes in zoning laws, real estate values, property taxes and interest rates. Dividend income is recorded at the Manager’s estimate of the income included in distributions from the REITs. Distributions received in excess of the estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of the investments. The actual amounts of income, return of capital and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after the Funds’ fiscal year-end and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Repurchase agreements  |  Each Fund, except Capital Appreciation and International Stock, may enter into repurchase agreements whereby a Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the market value of which at the time of purchase is required to be in an amount of at least 100% of the

resale price. Repurchase agreements involve the risk that the seller will fail to repurchase the security, as agreed. In that case, the Fund will bear the risk of market value fluctuations until the security can be sold and may encounter delays and incur costs in liquidating the security. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of the seller, delays and costs may be incurred. During the period ended April 30, 2021, none of the Funds held any repurchase agreements.

Revenue recognition  |  Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

Foreign taxes  |  The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest, with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. The Funds may also be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may or may not be recoverable. The Funds record such taxes and recoveries as applicable, when the related income or capital gains are earned and based upon the current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which a Fund invests. Some countries require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales earned by foreign investors.

As a result of court cases involving several countries across the European Union, the International Fund has filed tax reclaims in respect of previously withheld taxes on dividends earned (“EU tax reclaims”). These filings are subject to various administrative proceedings by each local jurisdiction’s tax authority, as well as judicial proceedings. EU tax reclaims that have been recognized, if any, are reflected as “Foreign withholding tax claims and interest” in the Statements of Operations. Generally, unless Carillon Tower believes that recovery amounts are collectible and free from significant contingencies, recoveries will not be reflected in a Fund’s net asset value. EU tax reclaims recognized by a Fund, if any, reduce the amount of foreign taxes, if any, that a Fund may elect to pass-through to its shareholders from a U.S. federal tax perspective. In certain circumstances and to the extent that EU tax reclaims recognized by a Fund were previously passed-through as foreign tax credits to its U.S. taxable shareholders, a Fund may enter into a closing agreement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Doing so will enable a Fund to quantify and remit its tax liability related to any recoveries (on behalf of its shareholders). Based on current guidance from the IRS, it is expected that International Fund will enter into a closing agreement with the IRS. Accordingly, estimated charges related to International Fund’s closing agreement liability are presented as “Less: taxes due on foreign withholding tax claims and interest” in the Statements of Operations and its estimated closing agreement liability is presented as “IRS fees and taxes for withholding tax claims” in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Expenses  |  Each Fund is charged for certain expenses which are directly attributable to it and certain other expenses which are allocated proportionately among the Carillon Family of Funds based upon methods approved by the Board. Expenses that are directly attributable to a specific class of shares, such as distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and administrative fees, are charged directly to that class of shares. Other expenses of each Fund are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative percentage of net assets.

Class allocations  |  Each class of shares has equal rights to earnings and assets except that each class may bear different expenses for administration, distribution and/or shareholder services. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative percentage of net assets.

Segregation and Collateralization  |  In cases in which the 1940 Act and the interpretive positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) require that a Fund either deliver collateral or segregate assets in connection with certain investments (e.g., forward currency contracts, securities with extended settlement periods, futures and swaps), the Fund will segregate collateral or designate on its books and records cash or other liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount that is required to be physically segregated for the benefit of the counterparty. Furthermore, based on requirements and agreements with certain exchanges and third party broker- dealers, each party has requirements to deliver/deposit cash or securities as collateral for certain investments.

Distributions  |  Each Fund, except the Growth & Income Fund, Core Bond Fund, Core Plus Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund, distributes net investment income annually. Distributions of net investment income are made quarterly from the Growth & Income Fund and monthly from the Core Bond Fund, Core Plus Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund. Net realized gains from investment transactions during any particular fiscal year in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, which, if not distributed, would be taxable to each applicable Fund, will be distributed to shareholders annually in the following fiscal year. If a fund is involved in a reorganization wherein it acquires the net assets of another fund, or has its net assets acquired by another fund, a separate and additional distribution of net investment income and/or net realized gains may be made prior to such reorganization. Each Fund uses the identified cost method for determining realized gain or loss on investments for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.

Distributions made to shareholders from earnings were as follows:

Other  |  In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or their affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss to each Fund is expected to be remote.

Trustees and officers compensation  |  Each Trustee of the Carillon Family of Funds receives an annual retainer along with meeting fees for those Carillon Family of Funds’ regular or special meetings attended in person and 25% of such meeting fees are received for telephonic meetings. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses are also reimbursed. Except when directly attributable to a Fund, Trustees’ fees and expenses are paid equally by each Fund in the Carillon Family of Funds. Certain officers of the Carillon Family of Funds may also be officers and/or directors of Carillon Tower. Such officers receive no compensation from the Funds except for the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer. A portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is paid equally by each Fund in the Carillon Family of Funds.

NOTE 5  |  Federal income taxes and distributions  |  Each Fund is treated as a single corporate taxpayer as provided for in the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required since each of the Funds intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. The Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended October 31, 2017 to October 31, 2020 for all Funds except for the International Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, Core Bond Fund, Core Plus Bond Fund and Unconstrained Bond Fund which have open tax years ended June 30, 2017 and October 31, 2017 to October 31, 2020) and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Federal income tax regulations differ from GAAP; therefore, distributions determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences primarily relate to deferral of losses from wash sales and non-REIT return of capital.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid during the fiscal periods indicated were as follows (tax character for the period ended April 30, 2021 is estimated):

At October 31, 2020, the difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses from wash sales and differences in the accounting treatment for non-REIT returns of capital, investments in passive foreign investment companies and swaps.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity that has financial instruments that are either 1) offset or 2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. As of April 30, 2021, the Funds did not hold any financial or derivative instruments that are offset or subject to enforceable master netting agreements (or related arrangements).

For the period ended April 30, 2021, the effect of derivative contracts on the Funds’ Statements of Operations is as follows:

NOTE 7  |  Securities lending  |  To earn additional income, each Fund may loan portfolio securities to qualified broker dealers. The primary objective of securities lending is to supplement a Fund’s income through investment of the cash collateral in short-term interest bearing obligations. The collateral for a Fund’s loans will be marked-to-market daily so that at all times the collateral exceeds 100% of the value of the loan. A Fund may terminate such loans at any time and the market risk applicable to any security loaned remains its risk. Although voting rights, or rights to consent, with respect to the loaned securities pass to the borrower, a Fund retains the right to call the loans at any time on reasonable notice, and it may choose to do so in order that the securities may be voted by it if the holders of such securities are asked to vote upon or consent to matters materially affecting the investment. A Fund also may call such loans in order to sell the securities involved. The borrower must add to the collateral whenever the market value of the securities rises above the level of such collateral. While securities are on loan, the Funds continue to receive certain income associated with that security and any gain or loss in the market price that may occur during the term of the loan. In the case of domestic equities, the value of any dividend is received in the form of a substitute payment approximately equal to the dividend. In the case of foreign securities, a negotiated amount may be received that is less than the actual dividend, but higher than the dividend amount minus the foreign tax that the Funds would be subject to on the dividend. Securities loans involve some risk. There is a risk that a borrower may default on its obligations to return loaned securities; however, the funds’ securities lending agent may indemnify a Fund against that risk. A Fund could incur a loss if the borrower should fail financially at a time when the value of the loaned securities is greater than the collateral, and a Fund could lose rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. The securities in which the collateral is invested may not perform sufficiently to cover the return collateral payments owed to borrowers. In addition, delays may occur in the recovery of securities from borrowers, which could interfere with a fund’s ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions. A Fund will also be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral. In any case in which the loaned securities are not returned to a Fund before an ex-dividend date, the payment in lieu of the dividend that a fund receives from the securities’ borrower would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes and thus would not qualify for treatment as “qualified dividend income.”

Each security on loan as of the date of this report is footnoted on each Fund’s Investment Portfolio, along with the total value of all securities on loan. Cash collateral received for securities on loan has been invested in the First American Government Obligations Fund Class X (the “money market fund”). The money market fund is included in each respective Fund’s Investment Portfolio and is footnoted as having been purchased with cash collateral received for securities on loan. The value of the money market fund is included as an asset on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as part of “Investments – unaffiliated, at value.” A liability of equal value to the cash collateral received and subsequently invested in the money market fund is included on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Payable for securities lending collateral received.” Income earned from securities lending, net of applicable fees, is shown on the Statement of Operations as income from “Securities lending, net.”

NOTE 8  |  Line of Credit  |  As of April 30, 2021, the Trust has a secured line of credit of up to $350,000,000 with U.S. Bank N.A, secured by a first priority lien on the Trust’s assets. Each Fund may borrow up to 33.33% of the net market value of such Fund’s assets, with the maximum aggregate limit of $350,000,000 for all Funds. Borrowings under this arrangement bear interest at U.S. Bank N.A.‘s prime rate minus 1.00%, which as of April 30, 2021 was 2.25% (prime rate of 3.25% minus 1.00%). The following table shows the details of the Funds’ borrowing activity during the period ended April 30, 2021. Funds that are not listed did not utilize the line of credit during the period.

 

    Maximum Outstanding Balance   Average Daily Balance   Total Interest Incurred   Average Annual Interest Rate

NOTE 9  |   Regulatory Changes   |   In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a Fund could enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, and require funds whose use of derivatives is greater than a limited specified amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. It is not currently clear what impact, if any, Rule 18f-4 will have on the availability, liquidity or performance of derivatives. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of Rule 18f-4 on the Funds. When fully implemented, Rule 18f-4 may require changes in how a Fund uses derivatives, adversely affect the Fund’s performance and increase costs related to the Fund’s use of derivatives.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.

NOTE 10  |   Other Matters   |   The ongoing novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has disrupted markets globally and caused significant uncertainty in the global economy. The pandemic has resulted in, among other things, travel restrictions, closed international borders, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, and supply chain disruptions, as well as general concern and uncertainty. Although an economic recovery is underway, it continues to be gradual, uneven, and characterized by meaningful dispersion across sectors and industries. The duration, extent, and ultimate impact of COVID-19 and the extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Funds are impossible to predict and will continue to evolve. The effects may impact the value and performance of the Funds, their ability to buy and sell investments at appropriate valuations, their ability to achieve their investment objectives, and their cash flows.

NOTE 11   |   Subsequent events   |   The Manager has evaluated subsequent events through June 18, 2021, the date these financial statements were issued, and determined that no other material events or transactions would require recognition or disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

Understanding Your Ongoing Costs

(UNAUDITED)    |    04.30.2021

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges, or redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following sections are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect one-time transaction expenses, such as sales charges or redemption fees. Therefore, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information, see your Fund’s prospectus or contact your financial adviser.

Actual expenses  |  The table below shows the actual expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment made in each Fund on November 1, 2020 and held through April 30, 2021. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual returns after ongoing expenses. This table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and

will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. 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 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 table below shows each Fund’s expenses based on a $1,000 investment held from November 1, 2020 through April 30, 2021 and assuming for this period a hypothetical 5% annualized rate of return before ongoing expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. Please note that you should not use this information to estimate your actual ending account balance and expenses paid during the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing expenses (but not transaction expenses or total costs) of investing in the Funds with those of other funds. All mutual fund shareholder reports will provide this information to help you make this comparison.

Amendments to Investment Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements

(UNAUDITED)

 

Approvals Related to Carillon Scout International Fund  |  At meetings held on November 19-20, 2020, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Carillon Series Trust (“Trust”) considered proposed amendments to (1) the existing investment advisory agreement between Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Carillon Tower”) and the Trust with respect to the Carillon Scout International Fund (“Fund”), and (2) the investment subadvisory agreement between Carillon Tower and Scout Investments, Inc. (“Scout”) with respect to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”).

The Board considered that the only substantive change in the Agreements was a reduction of the fee payable by the Fund to Carillon Tower and the fee payable by Carillon Tower to Scout. The Board also took into consideration that it had reviewed, among other things, the nature, extent and quality of services being provided to the Fund by Carillon Tower and Scout at the Board’s August 13-14,

2020 meetings in connection with its annual renewal of the Agreements and that there were no relevant material changes to the information provided to the Board since its annual review meetings August 13-14, 2020. Additionally, the Board considered that it receives substantial amounts of information regarding the Fund, including the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Carillon Tower and Scout, at its meetings held throughout the year.

Based on the considerations described above, the Board, including a majority of Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund, Carillon Tower or Scout, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, concluded that the proposed investment advisory and sub-advisory fee rates are fair, reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund, and approved the amended Agreements.

Credit  |  A fund could lose money if the issuer or a counterparty, in the case of a derivatives contract, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived as unable or unwilling (whether by market participants, ratings agencies, pricing services or otherwise) to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in their credit ratings. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk. The downgrade of the credit rating of a security held by a fund may decrease its value and may make it more difficult for the fund to sell it. Credit risk may change over the life of an instrument. Credit risk usually applies to most fixed income securities. U.S. government securities, especially those that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as securities supported only by the credit of the issuing governmental agency or government-sponsored enterprise, carry at least some risk of nonpayment, and the maximum potential liability of the

issuers of such securities may greatly exceed their current resources. There is no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to the issuing entity if not obligated to do so by law. Further, any government guarantees on U.S. government securities that a fund owns extend only to the timely payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the securities themselves and do not extend to the market value of the securities themselves or to shares of the fund.

Credit ratings  |  Ratings by nationally recognized rating agencies generally represent the agencies’ opinion of the credit quality of an issuer. However, these ratings are not absolute standards of quality and do not guarantee the creditworthiness of an issuer, and may prove to be inaccurate. Ratings do not necessarily address market risk and may not be revised quickly enough to reflect changes in an issuer’s financial condition.

Currencies  |  A fund may have exposure to foreign currencies through its investments. Foreign currencies may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, may be affected unpredictably by intervention, or the failure to intervene, of the U.S. or foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, and may be affected by the imposition of currency controls or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. As a result, a fund’s exposure to foreign currencies may reduce the returns of a fund. Foreign currencies may decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and other currencies and thereby affect a fund’s investments. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency futures and forwards, if used, may not always work as intended, and in specific cases, a Fund may be worse off than if it had not used such instrument(s). In the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar or other currency may decline in value relative to the foreign currency that is being hedged and thereby affect a fund’s investments. There may not always be suitable hedging instruments available. Even where suitable hedging instruments are available, a fund may choose to not hedge its currency risks.

Derivatives  |  Derivatives, such as options, futures contracts, currency forwards, including NDFs, or swap agreements, (including credit default swaps and credit default swap index products), may involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. Derivatives are subject to general market risks, liquidity risks, interest rate risk, and credit risks. Derivatives also present the risk that the other party to the transaction will fail to perform. Counterparty risk is generally thought to be greater with derivatives that are traded over-the-counter than with derivatives that are exchange-traded or centrally cleared. However, derivatives that are traded on organized exchanges and/or through clearing organizations involve the possibility that the futures commission merchant or clearing organization will default in the performance of its obligations. Derivatives involve an increased risk of mispricing or improper valuation of the derivative instrument, and imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative and the underlying instrument, in which case a fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, changes in the value of the derivative may also not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivatives risk may be more significant when derivatives are used to enhance fund returns, increase liquidity, manage the duration of a fund’s portfolio and/or gain exposure to certain instruments or markets, rather than solely to hedge the risk of a position held by the fund.

Derivatives can cause a fund to participate in losses (as well as gains) in an amount that significantly exceeds the fund’s initial investment, and some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of a fund’s initial investment, for example, where a fund may be called upon to deliver a security it does not own. Derivatives can create leverage, which can magnify the impact of a decline in the value of the reference instrument underlying the derivative, and a fund could lose more than the amount it invests. There may be material and prolonged deviations between the theoretical value and realizable value of a derivative. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that a fund will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial. Derivatives may at times be highly illiquid, and a fund may not be able to close out or sell a derivative position at a particular time or at an anticipated price.

The regulation of cleared and uncleared swap agreements, as well as other derivatives, is a rapidly changing area of law and is subject to modification by government and judicial action. It is not possible to predict fully the effects of current or future regulation. Changes in government regulation of various types of derivatives instruments may make derivatives more costly or limit the availability of derivatives, which may: limit or prevent a fund from using certain types of derivative instruments as part of its investment strategy; affect the character, timing of recognition and amount of a fund’s taxable income or recognized gains or losses; or otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives. Compared to other types of investments,

derivatives may also be less tax efficient. A fund’s use of derivatives may be limited by the requirements for taxation of the fund as a regulated investment company. The SEC has adopted a new Rule 18f-4 that, among other matters, places limits on the use of derivatives by registered investment companies, such as a fund. A fund may have to comply with certain conditions depending on the extent of its use of derivatives, including (as applicable), the adoption and implementation of policies and procedures designed to manage a fund’s derivatives risks, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, compliance with a limit on the amount of leverage-related risk that a fund may obtain, and maintaining a derivatives risk management program and designating a derivatives risk manager. Compliance with the rule will likely subject a fund’s derivatives transactions to additional oversight and regulatory requirements.

 

    Swap Agreements. Swaps can involve greater risks than a direct investment in an underlying asset, because swaps typically include a certain amount of embedded leverage and as such are subject to leveraging risk. If swaps are used as a hedging strategy, a fund is subject to the risk that the hedging strategy may not eliminate the risk that it is intended to offset, due to, among other reasons, the occurrence of unexpected price movements or the non-occurrence of expected price movements, as well as a lack of correlation between the swaps and the portfolio of assets that the swaps are designed to hedge or replace. Swaps also may be difficult to value. Swaps may be subject to liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk. Swaps that are traded over-the-counter are not subject to standardized clearing requirements and may involve greater liquidity and counterparty risks. Credit default swaps may be subject to credit risk and the risks associated with the purchase and sale of credit protection. With respect to a credit default swap, if a fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk a fund is subject to many of the same risks it would be if it were holding debt obligations of the issuer; however, a fund would not have any recourse against such issuer and would not benefit from any collateral securing such issuer’s debt obligations. Therefore, when selling protection, a fund could be forced to liquidate other assets upon the occurrence of a credit event in order to pay the counterparty. There is also the risk that the transaction may be closed out at a time when the credit quality of the underlying investment has deteriorated, in which case a fund may need to make an early termination payment. If a fund is buying credit protection, there is the risk that no credit event will occur and a fund will receive no benefit (other than any hedging benefit) for the premium paid. There is also the risk that the transaction may be closed out at a time when the credit quality of the underlying investment has improved, in which case a fund may need to make an early termination payment.

 

    Futures and Forward Contracts. Futures and forward contracts, including NDFs, are subject to counterparty risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. There may at times be an imperfect correlation between the movement in the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes. There are no limitations on daily price movements of forward contracts. There can be no assurance that any strategy used will succeed. Not all forward contracts, including NDFs, require a counterparty to post collateral, which may expose a fund to greater losses in the event of a default by a counterparty. There can be no assurance that, at all times, a liquid market will exist for offsetting a futures contract that a fund has previously bought or sold and this may result in the inability to close a futures contract when desired. Forward currency transactions include the risks associated with fluctuations in currency. Interest rate and Treasury futures contracts expose a fund to price fluctuations resulting from changes in interest rates. A fund could suffer a loss if interest rates rise after a fund has purchased an interest rate futures contract or fall after a fund has sold an interest rate futures contract. Similarly, Treasury futures contracts expose a fund to potential losses if interest rates do not move as expected. Fixed income index futures contracts expose a fund to volatility in an underlying securities index.

    Options. The movements experienced by a fund between the prices of options and prices of the assets (or indices) underlying such options, may differ from expectations, and may cause a fund to not achieve its objective. In order for a call option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security or index must rise sufficiently above the call option exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit that might otherwise have been realized had a fund bought the underlying security instead of the call option. The buyer of a call option assumes the risk of losing its entire investment in the call option. The seller (writer) of a call option that is covered (i.e., the writer holds the underlying security) assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying security below the purchase price of the underlying security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying assets above the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered call option assumes the risk of a theoretically unlimited increase in the market price of the underlying assets above the exercise price of the option. The securities necessary to satisfy the exercise of the call option may be unavailable for purchase by such writer except at much higher prices. Purchasing securities to satisfy the exercise of the call option can itself cause the price of the securities to rise further, sometimes by a significant amount, thereby exacerbating the loss. For a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security or index must decline sufficiently below the put option’s exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs. These costs will reduce any profit that might otherwise have been realized from a fund having shorted the declining underlying security by the premium paid for the put option and by transaction costs. The buyer of a put option assumes the risk of losing its entire investment in the put option. The seller (writer) of a put option that is covered (i.e., the writer has a short position in the underlying assets) assumes the risk of an increase in the market price of the underlying assets above the sales price (in establishing the short position) of the underlying assets plus the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying assets below the exercise price of the option. The seller of an uncovered put option assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying assets below the exercise price of the option. If an option that a fund has purchased expires unexercised, a fund will experience a loss in the amount of the premium it paid. The writer of an option, unlike the holder, generally is subject to initial and variation margin requirements on the option position. There can be no guarantee that the use of options will increase a fund’s return or income. The premium received from writing options may not be sufficient to offset any losses sustained from exercised options. In addition, there may be an imperfect correlation between the movement in prices of options and the securities underlying them, and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for options.

Emerging markets  |  When investing in emerging markets, the risks of investing in foreign securities discussed below are heightened. Emerging markets have unique risks that are greater than or in addition to those associated with investing in developed markets because emerging markets are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and other foreign developed markets. There are also risks of: greater political uncertainties; an economy’s dependence on revenues from particular commodities or on international aid or development assistance; currency transfer restrictions; a limited number of potential buyers for such securities; delays and disruptions in securities settlement procedures; less stringent, or a lack of, uniform accounting, auditing, financial reporting and recordkeeping requirements or standards; less reliable clearance and settlement, registration and custodial procedures; trading suspensions and other restrictions on investment; and significant limitations on investor rights and recourse. The economies and governments of emerging market countries tend to be more unstable than those of developed countries, resulting in more volatile rates of return than the developed markets and significantly greater risk to investors. The governments of emerging market countries may also be more

unstable and more likely to impose capital controls, nationalize a company or industry, place restrictions on foreign ownership and on withdrawing sale proceeds of securities from the country, intervene in the financial markets, and/or impose burdensome taxes that could adversely affect security prices. There may be less publicly available or less reliable information regarding issuers in emerging markets, which can impede a fund’s ability to accurately evaluate foreign securities. In certain emerging market countries, fraud and corruption may be more prevalent than in developed market countries, and investor protections may be more limited than those in other countries. It may be difficult to obtain or enforce legal judgments against non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. persons in foreign jurisdictions, through either the foreign judicial system or through a private arbitration process. Additionally, a fund may experience more volatile rates of return. These matters have the potential to impact a fund’s investment objective and performance.

Equity securities  |  A fund’s equity securities investments are subject to market risk. A fund may invest in the following equity securities, which may expose a fund to the following additional risks:

 

    Common Stocks. The value of a company’s common stock may fall as a result of factors directly relating to that company, such as decisions made by its management or decreased demand for the company’s products or services. A stock’s value may also decline because of factors affecting not just the company, but also companies in the same industry or sector. The price of a company’s stock may also be affected by changes in financial markets that are unrelated to the company, such as changes in interest rates, exchange rates or industry regulation. Companies that pay dividends on their common stock generally only do so after they invest in their own business and make required payments to bondholders and on other debt and preferred stock. Therefore, the value of a company’s common stock will usually be more volatile than its bonds, other debt and preferred stock. Common stock generally is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company. In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, there is substantial risk that there will be nothing left to pay common stockholders after payments, if any, to bondholders and preferred stockholders have been made.

 

    Preferred Stocks. Preferred securities, including convertible preferred securities, are subject to issuer-specific and market risks; however, preferred securities may be less liquid than common stocks and offer more limited participation in the growth of an issuer. If interest rates rise, the dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Distributions on preferred stocks generally are payable at the discretion of an issuer and after required payments to bondholders. Preferred shareholders may have only certain limited rights if distributions are not paid for a stated period, but generally have no legal recourse against the issuer and may suffer a loss of value if distributions are not paid. Preferred stocks may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when interest rates decline. Because the rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of its liquidation are generally subordinated to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities, in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, there is substantial risk that there will be nothing left to pay preferred stockholders after payments, if any, to bondholders have been made. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred stocks may also be subject to credit risk.

 

   

Convertible Securities. The investment value of a convertible security (“convertible”) is based on its yield and tends to decline as interest rates increase. The conversion value of a convertible is the market value that would be received if the convertible were converted to its underlying common stock. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common

    stock into which it may be converted, a convertible is also subject to the same types of market and issuer-specific risks that apply to the underlying common stock. Convertible securities are subject to the risk that the credit standing of the issuer may have an effect on the convertible securities’ investment value. Convertible securities also are sensitive to movements in interest rates. Generally, a convertible security is subject to the market risks of stocks when the underlying stock’s price is high relative to the conversion price, and is subject to the market risks of debt securities when the underlying stock’s price is low relative to the conversion price. A convertible may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible’s governing instrument, which may be less than the current market price of the security. Convertibles typically are “junior” securities, which means an issuer may pay interest on its non-convertible debt before it can make payments on its convertibles. In the event of a liquidation, holders of convertibles may be paid before a company’s common stockholders but after holders of a company’s senior debt obligations.

 

    Depositary Receipts. A fund may invest in securities issued by foreign companies through American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”). These securities are subject to many of the risks inherent in investing in foreign securities, including, but not limited to, currency exchange rate fluctuations, political and financial instability in the home country of a particular depositary receipt, less liquidity, more volatility, less government regulation and supervision and delays in transaction settlement.

 

    REITS. REITS or other real estate-related securities are subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, including, among other risks, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions or changes in demographic trends or tastes, increases in operating expenses, defaults by mortgagors or other borrowers and tenants, lack of availability of mortgage funds or financing, extended vacancies of properties, especially during economic downturns, losses due to environmental liabilities, and adverse governmental, legal or regulatory action (such as changes to zoning laws, changes in interest rates, condemnation, tax increases, regulatory limitations on rents, or enforcement of or changes to environmental regulations). Additionally, REITs are dependent on the skills of their managers. Shares of REITs may trade less frequently and, therefore, are subject to more erratic price movements than securities of larger issuers. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those incurred by a fund, meaning a fund’s investment in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that as a shareholder, a fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of a REIT’s operating expenses. A domestic REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free “pass-through” of distributed net income and net realized gains under the Internal Revenue Code, or to maintain its exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.

 

    Dividend-Paying Stocks. Securities of companies that have historically paid a high dividend yield may reduce or discontinue their dividends, reducing the yield of the fund. Low priced securities in the fund may be more susceptible to these risks. Past dividend payments are not a guarantee of future dividend payments. Securities that pay dividends may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a sharp increase in interest rates, or other market downturn, could result in a decision to decrease or eliminate a dividend. Also, the market return of high dividend yield securities, in certain market conditions, may perform worse than other investment strategies or the overall stock market. Changes to the dividend policies of companies in which a fund invests and the capital resources available for dividend payment at such companies may harm fund performance. A fund may also be harmed by changes to the favorable federal income tax treatment generally afforded to dividends.
    Rights and Warrants. Investments in rights and warrants may be more speculative than certain other types of investments because rights and warrants do not carry dividend or voting rights with respect to the underlying securities or any rights in the assets of the issuer. In addition, the value of a right or a warrant does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities and a right or a warrant ceases to have value if it is not exercised prior to its expiration date. If a warrant or right to subscribe to additional shares is not exercised or, when permissible, sold prior to the warrant’s or right’s expiration date or redemption by the issuer, a fund could lose all or substantially all of the purchase price of the warrant or right. The market for warrants and rights may be very limited and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for warrants and rights.

Focused holdings  |  For funds that normally hold a core portfolio of securities of fewer companies than other funds, the increase or decrease of the value of a single investment may have a greater impact on the fund’s NAV and total return when compared to other diversified funds. Although a focused portfolio has the potential to generate attractive returns over time, it also may increase a fund’s volatility.

Foreign securities  |  Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, a fund’s return and NAV may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in a particular country. Foreign markets, as well as foreign economies and political systems, may be less stable than U.S. markets, and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies can affect the value of a fund’s foreign assets. Foreign laws and accounting standards typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and there may be less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies. In addition, there may be less public information available about foreign companies. The unavailability and/or unreliability of public information available may impede the fund’s ability to accurately evaluate foreign securities. Custodial and/or settlement systems in foreign markets may not be fully developed and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt. Foreign issuers may utilize unfamiliar corporate organizational structures, which can limit investor rights and recourse. Moreover, it may be difficult to enforce contractual obligations or invoke judicial or arbitration processes against non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. persons in foreign jurisdictions. Foreign securities may be less liquid than domestic securities and there may be delays in transaction settlement in some foreign markets. Securities of issuers traded on foreign exchanges may be suspended, either by the issuers themselves, by an exchange, or by government authorities. Over a given period of time, foreign securities may underperform U.S. securities—sometimes for years. A fund could also underperform if it invests in countries or regions whose economic performance falls short. The risks associated with investments in governmental or quasi-governmental entities of a foreign country are heightened by the potential for unexpected governmental change, which may lead to default or expropriation, and inadequate government oversight and accounting. Obligations of supranational entities are subject to the risk that the governments on whose support the entity depends for its financial backing or repayment may be unable or unwilling to provide that support. The effect of recent, worldwide economic instability on specific foreign markets or issuers may be difficult to predict or evaluate. Some national economies continue to show profound instability, which may in turn affect their international trading and financial partners or other members of their currency bloc. Foreign security risk may also apply to ADRs, GDRs and EDRs.

Growth stocks  |  Growth companies are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, the prices of these stocks may decline, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Growth company stocks also typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in

(UNAUDITED)

 

market downturns. The price of a growth company’s stock may fail or not approach the value that has been placed on it. If a growth investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, a fund could underperform funds that use a value or other non-growth approach to investing or have a broader investment style.

High-yield securities  |  Investments in securities rated below investment grade, or “junk bonds,” generally involve significantly greater risks of loss of your money than an investment in investment grade bonds. Compared with issuers of investment grade bonds, issuers of junk bonds are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties, leading to a greater risk that the issuer will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. Rising interest rates may compound these difficulties and reduce an issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest obligations. Issuers of lower-rated securities also have a greater risk of default or bankruptcy, especially when the economy is weak or expected to become weak. If an issuer defaults, a fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case a fund may lose its entire investment. Additionally, due to the greater number of considerations involved in the selection of a fund’s securities, the achievement of a fund’s objective depends more on the skills of the portfolio manager than investing only in higher-rated securities. Therefore, your investment may experience greater volatility in price and yield. High-yield securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. A security whose credit rating has been lowered may be particularly difficult to sell. The higher yields of high-yielding securities may not reflect the value of the income stream that holders of such securities may expect, but rather the risk that such securities may lose a substantial portion of their value as a result of their issuer’s financial restructuring or default. Investments in high-yield securities are inherently speculative.

Income  |  A fund’s income could decline due to falling market interest rates. In a falling interest rate environment, a fund may be required to invest its assets in lower-yielding securities. Because interest rates vary, it is impossible to predict the income or yield of a fund for any particular period.

Initial public offerings  |  The market value of shares sold in an initial public offering (“IPO”) may fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. In addition, the prices of securities sold in IPOs may be highly volatile or may decline shortly after the IPO. The purchase of IPO shares may also involve high transaction costs. The limited number of shares available for trading in some IPOs may make it difficult for a fund to acquire shares of an issuer in which it would like to invest, and may also make it more difficult for a fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. . In addition, some companies initially offering their shares publicly may be involved in relatively new industries or lines of business, which may not be widely understood by investors. Many IPOs are by small- or micro-capitalization companies that are undercapitalized. Investments in IPOs may result in losses to a fund.

Interest rate  |  Investments in investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. The value of a fund’s fixed income investments typically will fall when interest rates rise. A fund may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates if it invests in debt securities with intermediate and long terms to maturity. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations. For example, if a bond has a duration of eight years, a 1% increase in interest rates could be expected to result in a 8% decrease in the value of the bond. As of the date of this Prospectus, interest rates are historically low. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, a fund may be unable to maintain positive returns. Certain European countries and Japan have experienced negative interest rates on deposits and debt securities have traded at negative yields. Negative interest

rates may become more prevalent among non-U.S. issuers, and potentially within the United States. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from fund performance to the extent the fund is exposed to such interest rates. To the extent a fund holds an investment with a negative interest rate to maturity, a fund may generate a negative return on that investment. Conversely, in the future, interest rates may rise significantly and/or rapidly, potentially resulting in substantial losses to a fund.

Issuer  |  The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services, as well as the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer and the value of its assets.

Japan  |  A significant portion of a fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of Japanese issuers, in accordance with the fund’s benchmark. Japan, like many Asian countries, is still heavily dependent upon international trade and may be adversely affected by protectionist trade policies, competition from Asia’s other low-cost emerging economies, the economic conditions of its trading partners, the strength of the yen, and regional and global conflicts. The domestic Japanese economy faces several concerns, including large government deficits, a shrinking workforce, and, in some cases, companies with poor corporate governance. Japan has in the past intervened in the currency markets, which could cause the value of the yen to fluctuate sharply and unpredictably. Japan is located in a part of the world that has historically been prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. Relations with its neighbors, particularly China, North Korea, South Korea and Russia, have at times been strained due to territorial disputes, historical animosities and defense concerns. As a country with few natural resources, Japan is also heavily dependent on oil and other commodity imports, and higher commodity prices could therefore have a negative impact on the Japanese economy. These and other factors could have a negative impact on a fund’s performance and increase the volatility of an investment in a fund.

Large-cap companies  |  Investments in large-cap companies may underperform other segments of the market, in some cases for extended periods of time, because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Large-cap companies generally are expected to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. However, large-cap companies may be unable to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion, and may instead focus their competitive efforts on maintaining or expanding their market share.

Leverage  |  Certain transactions of a fund may give rise to a form of leverage. Such transactions may include, among others, the use of buybacks, dollar rolls, and when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment transactions. Certain derivatives that a fund may use may also create leverage. Derivatives that involve leverage can result in losses to a fund that exceed the amount originally invested in the derivatives. Certain types of leveraging transactions, such as short sales that are not “against the box,” could be subject to unlimited losses in cases where a fund, for any reason, is unable to close out the transaction. The use of leverage may cause a fund to liquidate portfolio positions when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements. Leveraging may cause a fund to be more volatile than if the fund had not been leveraged. This is because leveraging tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a fund’s portfolio securities.

LIBOR  |  Certain of the instruments identified in a fund’s principal investment strategies have variable or floating coupon rates that are based on ICE LIBOR (“LIBOR”), Euro Interbank Offered Rate and other similar types of reference rates (each, a “Reference Rate”). These Reference Rates are generally intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other within certain financial markets.

Arrangements are underway to phase out the use of LIBOR. These arrangements and any additional regulatory or market changes may have an adverse impact on a fund or its investments, including increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that rely on LIBOR. There remains uncertainty about the nature of any replacement rate for LIBOR and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on a fund and the financial markets generally. Financial industry groups have begun planning for a transition to the use of a different Reference Rate or benchmark rate, but there are obstacles to converting certain securities and transactions to a new Reference Rate or benchmark rate. The transition process, or the failure of an industry to transition, could lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates and a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments, all of which could impact a fund.

Not all LIBOR-based instruments may have provisions contemplating a scenario where LIBOR becomes unavailable or provide for an alternative rate-setting methodology, and there may be significant uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of any such methodologies. In addition, the alternative reference or benchmark rate may be an ineffective substitute. The elimination of a Reference Rate or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of Reference Rates could have an adverse impact on the market for or value of any securities or payments linked to those Reference Rates and other financial obligations held by a fund. Any substitute Reference Rate and any pricing adjustments imposed by a regulator or by counterparties or otherwise may adversely affect a fund’s performance and/or NAV. At this time, it is not possible to completely identify or predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative Reference Rates or any other reforms to Reference Rates that may be enacted in the UK or elsewhere. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, any of the effects described above could occur prior to the official phasing out of LIBOR.

Liquidity  |  Liquidity risk is the possibility that a fund’s securities may have limited marketability, be subject to restrictions on resale, be difficult or impossible to purchase or sell at favorable times or prices, or become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse credit events that may affect issuers or guarantors of a debt security, any of which could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the fund’s liquidity. The market prices for such securities may be volatile. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect a fund’s NAV or prevent a fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. A fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to a fund. A fund may be required to dispose of investments at unfavorable times or prices to satisfy obligations, which may result in losses or may be costly to a fund. Market developments may cause a fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. In addition, the market-making capacity of dealers in certain types of securities has been reduced in recent years, in part as a result of structural and regulatory changes, such as fewer proprietary trading desks and increased capital requirements for broker-dealers. Further, many broker-dealers have reduced their inventory of certain debt securities. This could negatively affect a fund’s ability to buy or sell debt securities and increase the related volatility and trading costs. For example, liquidity risk may be magnified in rising interest rate environments due to higher than normal redemption rates.

Market  |  Markets may at times be volatile and the values of a fund’s stock and fixed income holdings, as well as the income generated by a fund’s fixed income holdings, may decline, sometimes significantly and/or rapidly, because of adverse issuer-specific conditions or general market conditions, including a broad stock market decline, which are not specifically related to a particular issuer. These conditions may include real or perceived adverse political, regulatory, market, economic or other developments, such as natural disasters, public health crises, pandemics, regional or global economic instability (including terrorism and geopolitical risks) and interest, inflation, and currency

rate fluctuations. These and other conditions may cause broad changes in market value, the general outlook for corporate earnings, public perceptions concerning these developments or adverse investment sentiment generally. These events may lead to periods of volatility, which may be exacerbated by changes in bond market size and structure. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer, industry or market segment also can impact the market as a whole. In addition, adverse market events may lead to increased redemptions, which could cause a fund to experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. Conversely, it is also possible that, during a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. During times of market turmoil, investors tend to look to the safety of securities issued or backed by the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and the yields to decline. Reduced liquidity in fixed income and credit markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide. Prices in many financial markets have increased significantly over the last decade, but there have also been periods of adverse market and financial developments and cyclical change during that timeframe, which have resulted in unusually high levels of volatility in domestic and foreign financial markets that has caused losses for investors and may occur again in the future, particularly if markets enter a period of uncertainty or economic weakness. Periods of unusually high volatility in the financial markets and restrictive credit conditions, sometimes limited to a particular sector or geographic region, continue to recur. Even when securities markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a fund will increase in value along with the broader market.

The increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events in a single country or events affecting a single or small number of issuers. Events such as natural disasters, public health crises, pandemics, governments’ reactions to and public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. Terrorism and related geopolitical risks, including tensions or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major players on the world stage or major producers of oil have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis in 2008, if repeated, would be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment and other factors affecting the value of a fund’s investments.

Political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as changes in the U.S. presidential administration and Congress and domestic political unrest, the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, the threat of a federal government shutdown and threats not to increase the federal government’s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. The severity or duration of adverse economic conditions may also be affected by policy changes made by government or quasi-governmental organizations.

In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon both publicly available and proprietary information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at large. In certain cases, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securities or even the entire market, which may result in a fund being, among other things,

unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or accurately price its investments. These fluctuations in stock prices could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The financial markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations.

Recent Market Events  |  Certain illnesses spread rapidly and have the potential to significantly and adversely affect the global economy. An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has subsequently spread globally. The impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving, and the transmission of COVID-19 and efforts to contain its spread have resulted, and may continue to result, in significant disruptions to business operations, travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruptions of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines and stay-at-home orders, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, widespread business closures and layoffs, service and event cancellations, reductions and other changes, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty that has negatively affected the global economy. These issues may continue until vaccines and other COVID-19 treatments are more widely available, the timeline for which is uncertain. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Deteriorating economic fundamentals may in turn increase the risk of default or insolvency of particular issuers, negatively impact market value, increase market volatility, cause credit spreads to widen, and reduce liquidity. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (also known as “the Fed”) has taken and may continue to take numerous measures to address the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the reduction of the federal funds target rate and the introduction of several credit and liquidity facilities, and the U.S. federal government has taken and may continue to take steps to stimulate the U.S. economy, including adopting stimulus packages targeted at large parts of the economy. The effect of these and other efforts may not be known for some time, and it is not known whether and to what extent they will be successful.

Decisions by the Fed regarding interest rate and monetary policy, which can be difficult to predict and sometimes change direction suddenly in response to economic and market events, continue to have a significant impact on securities prices as well as the overall strength of the U.S. economy. The Fed has spent hundreds of billions of dollars to keep credit flowing through short-term money markets. The Fed has signaled that it plans to maintain its interventions at an elevated level. Amid the Fed’s ongoing efforts, concerns about the markets’ dependence on the Fed’s daily doses of liquidity have grown. Future legislative, regulatory and policy changes may impact current international trade deals, result in changes to prudential regulation of certain players in the financial market, and provide significant new investments in infrastructure, the environment, or other areas. Markets may react strongly to expectations about the changes in these policies, which could increase volatility, especially if the markets’ expectations for changes in government policies are not borne out.

A rise in protectionist trade policies, slowing global economic growth, risks associated with ongoing trade negotiations with China, risks

associated with the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union on December 31, 2020, and a trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union, and the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements, could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. Interest rates have been unusually low in recent years in the U.S. and abroad and are currently at historic lows. The outcomes may cause increased volatility and have a significant adverse impact on world financial markets, other international trade agreements and the United Kingdom and European economies as well as the broader global economy.

Economists and others have expressed increasing concern about the potential effects of global climate change on property and security values. A rise in sea levels, an increase in powerful windstorms and/or a climate-driven increase in sea levels or flooding could cause coastal properties to lose value or become unmarketable altogether. Economists warn that, unlike previous declines in the real estate market, properties in affected coastal zones may not ever recover their value. Large wildfires driven by high winds and prolonged drought may devastate businesses and entire communities and may be very costly to any business found to be responsible for the fire. Regulatory changes and divestment movements tied to concerns about climate change could adversely affect the value of certain land and the viability of industries whose activities or products are seen as accelerating climate change. These losses could adversely affect corporate issuers and mortgage lenders, the value of mortgage-backed securities, the bonds of municipalities that depend on tax or other revenues and tourist dollars generated by affected properties, and insurers of the property and/or of corporate, municipal or mortgage-backed securities. Since property and security values are driven largely by buyers’ perceptions, it is difficult to know the time period over which these market effects might unfold.

Market timing  |  Frequent trading by fund shareholders poses risk to other shareholders in a fund, including (i) the dilution of a fund’s NAV, (ii) an increase in a fund’s expenses, and (iii) interference with a portfolio manager’s ability to execute efficient investment strategies. Because of specific securities a fund may invest in, it could be subject to the risk of market timing activities by fund shareholders. Some examples of these types of securities are high-yield, small-cap and foreign securities. Typically, foreign securities offer the most opportunity for these market timing activities. A fund generally prices these foreign securities using their closing prices from the foreign markets in which they trade, typically prior to a fund’s calculation of its NAV. These prices may be affected by events that occur after the close of a foreign market but before a fund prices its shares. In such instances, a fund may fair value foreign securities. However, some investors may engage in frequent short-term trading in a fund to take advantage of any price differentials that may be reflected in the NAV of a fund’s shares. There is no assurance that fair valuation of securities can reduce or eliminate market timing. There is no guarantee that Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc., as the manager and transfer agent of the funds, can detect all market timing activities.

Maturity  |  A fund will invest in fixed income securities of varying maturities. A fixed income security’s maturity is one indication of the interest rate exposure of a security. Generally, the longer a fixed income security’s maturity, the greater the risk. Conversely, the shorter a fixed income security’s maturity, the lower the risk.

Mid-cap companies  |  Investments in mid-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Mid-cap companies may have narrower commercial markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger, more established companies. The performance of mid-cap companies can be more volatile, and their stocks less liquid, compared to larger, more established companies, which could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that

(UNAUDITED)

 

invests in mid-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.

Mortgage- and asset-backed securities  |  Mortgage and asset-backed security risk arises in part from the potential for mortgage failure, particularly during periods of market downturn, premature repayment of principal, or a delay in the repayment of principal, and can increase in an unstable or depressed housing market. The reduced value of the fund’s securities and the potential loss of principal as a result of a mortgagor’s failure to repay would have a negative impact on the fund. If a borrower repays the principal early, a fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate, thereby reducing a fund’s income. Conversely, a delay in the repayment of principal could lengthen the expected maturity of the securities, thereby increasing the potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause the values of the securities to fall sharply. In a to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed transaction, a fund and the seller agree upon the issuer, interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. However, the seller does not identify the specific underlying mortgages until it issues the security. TBA mortgage-backed securities increase interest rate risks because the underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by a fund.

Other investment companies, including ETFs  |  Investments in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (which may, in turn invest in equities, bonds, and other financial vehicles), 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 bear the fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses fund shareholders indirectly bear in connection with the fund’s own operations. Investments in other investment companies will subject a fund to the risks of the types of investments in which the investment companies invest.

As a shareholder, a fund must rely on the other investment company to achieve its investment objective. If the other investment company fails to achieve its investment objective, the value of the fund’s investment will typically decline, adversely affecting the fund’s performance. In addition, because ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on an exchange, ETF shares may potentially trade at a discount or a premium. Investments in ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a fund. Finally, because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the portfolio manager may not be able to liquidate a fund’s holdings of ETF shares at the most optimal time, adversely affecting the fund’s performance. An ETF that tracks an index may not precisely replicate the returns of its benchmark index. A passively managed ETF may not be permitted to sell poorly performing stocks that are included in its index.

Portfolio turnover  |  A fund may engage in more active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to a greater extent than certain other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. A fund’s turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year or during periods within a year. A high rate of portfolio turnover may lead to greater transaction costs, result in adverse tax consequences to investors (from increased recognition of net capital gains, which are taxable to shareholders when distributed to them) and adversely affect performance.

Quantitative strategy risk  |  The success of a fund’s investment strategy may depend in part on the effectiveness of a sub-adviser’s quantitative tools for screening securities. Securities selected using quantitative analysis can react differently to issuer, political, market, and economic developments than the market as a whole or securities selected using only fundamental analysis, which could adversely affect their value. A sub-adviser’s quantitative tools may use factors that may not be predictive of a security’s value, and any changes over time in the factors that affect a security’s value may not be reflected in the

quantitative model. The quantitative tools may not react as expected to market events, resulting in losses for a fund. Data for some companies, particularly non-U.S. companies, may be less available and/or less current than data for other companies. There may also be errors in the computer code for the quantitative model or in the model itself, or issues relating to the computer systems used to screen securities. A sub-adviser’s stock selection can be adversely affected if it relies on insufficient, erroneous or outdated data or flawed models or computer systems. Additionally, a previously successful strategy may become outdated or inaccurate, which may not be identified by a sub-adviser and therefore may also result in losses.

Redemptions  |  A fund may experience periods of heavy redemptions that could cause a fund to sell assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value. Redemption risk is greater to the extent that one or more investors or intermediaries control a large percentage of investments in a fund, have short investment horizons, or have unpredictable cash flow needs. The risk of loss is also greater if redemption requests are frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities a fund wishes to sell are illiquid. A general rise in interest rates has the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from mutual funds that hold large amounts of fixed income securities. This, coupled with a reduction in the ability or willingness of dealers and other institutional investors to buy or hold fixed income securities, may result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the fixed income markets, and heightened redemption risk. Heavy redemptions, whether by a few large investors or many smaller investors, could hurt a fund’s performance.

Sectors  |  A fund may hold a significant amount of investments in companies that are in similar businesses, which may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events that may, in certain circumstances, cause the value of securities of all companies in a particular sector of the market to change. To the extent a fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase. In addition, when a fund focuses its investments in certain sectors of the economy, its performance could fluctuate more widely than if a fund invested more evenly across sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. As a fund’s portfolio changes over time, a fund’s exposure to a particular sector may become higher or lower.

Financials sector  |  Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.

Health care sector  |  The health care sector may be affected by government regulations and government health care programs, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, increases or decreases in the cost of medical products and services and product liability claims, among other factors. Many health care companies are (1) heavily dependent on patent protection and intellectual property rights and the expiration of a patent may adversely affect their profitability, (2) subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims, and (3) subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, may result in price discounting. Health care companies may also be thinly capitalized and susceptible to product obsolescence. Many health care products and services may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly, and delays in or failure to receive such approvals may negatively impact the business of such companies. Additional or more stringent laws and regulations enacted in the future could have a material adverse effect on such companies in the health care sector. Issuers in the health care sector include issuers having their principal activities in the biotechnology industry or in medical laboratories and research, which pose additional risks. A biotechnology company’s valuation can often be based largely on the potential or actual performance of a limited number of products and, accordingly, can be significantly affected if one of its products proves unsafe, ineffective or unprofitable. Many biotechnology companies invest heavily in research and development, and their products or services may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly due to technological change. Biotechnology companies can also be significantly affected by technological change and obsolescence, product liability lawsuits and consequential high insurance costs. The values of biotechnology companies are also dependent on the development, protection and exploitation of intellectual property rights and other proprietary information. Any impairment of such rights may have adverse financial consequences. Biotechnology companies are subject to regulation by, and the restrictions of, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities. A biotechnology company may be unable to raise prices on its products or services to cover its development and regulatory costs because of managed care pressure or price controls. Biotechnology stocks, especially those issued by smaller, less-seasoned companies, can be more volatile than the overall market.

Information technology sector  |  The information technology sector includes companies engaged in internet software and services, technology hardware and storage peripherals, electronic equipment, instruments and components, and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face rapid product obsolescence due to technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base or achieve general market acceptance for their products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.

Securities lending  |  A fund may lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. Borrowers of a fund’s securities typically provide collateral in the form of cash that is reinvested in securities. A fund will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash

collateral. A fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet obligations to the borrower. There is a risk that a borrower may default on its obligations to return loaned securities; however, a fund’s securities lending agent may indemnify the fund against that risk. There is a risk that the assets of a fund’s securities lending agent may be insufficient to satisfy any contractual indemnification requirements to the fund. In addition, delays may occur in the recovery of securities from borrowers, which could interfere with a fund’s ability to vote proxies or to settle transactions and there is the risk of possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. In any case in which the loaned securities are not returned to a fund before an ex-dividend date, the payment in lieu of the dividend that the fund receives from the securities’ borrower would not be treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes and thus would not qualify for treatment as “qualified dividend income.”

Short sales  |  A short sale creates the risk of a loss if the price of the underlying security increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased, thus increasing the cost to a fund of buying those securities to cover the short position. The potential for greater losses may be incurred due to general market forces, such as a lack of securities available for short sellers to borrow for delivery, or increases in the price of a security sold short. A fund may lose more money than the actual cost of a short sale investment. Also, there is the risk that the third party to the short sale may fail to honor its contract terms, causing a loss to a fund.

Small-cap companies  |  Investments in small-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Companies with smaller market capitalizations generally have lower volume of shares traded daily, less liquid stock and more volatile stock prices. Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. Newer companies with unproven business strategies also tend to be smaller companies. The above factors increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations, and could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in small-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in mid-cap or large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.

United Kingdom securities  |  A fund’s exposure to issuers located in, or with economic ties to, the United Kingdom (the “UK”), could expose the fund to risks associated with investments in the UK to a greater extent than more geographically diverse funds. Investments in UK issuers may subject a fund to regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risks specific to the UK. The UK has one of the largest economies in Europe, and the United States and other European countries are substantial trading partners of the UK. As a result, the UK economy may be impacted by changes to the economic condition of the United States and other European countries. The UK economy relies heavily on the export of financial services to the United States and other European countries. A prolonged slowdown in the financial services sector may have a negative impact on the UK economy. In the past, the UK has been a target of terrorism. Acts of terrorism in the UK or against UK interests may cause uncertainty in the UK financial markets and adversely affect the performance of the issuers to which a fund has exposure.

The full impact of the UK’s departure from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit,” which occurred on December 31, 2020, and the nature of the future relationship between the UK and the European Union remains uncertain. The UK and the European Union reached a trade agreement on December 31, 2020, which became effective on May 1, 2021 after being ratified by all applicable United Kingdom and European Union governmental bodies. The period following the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union is expected to be one of significant political and economic uncertainty particularly until the UK government and European Union member states agree and implement the terms of the UK’s future relationship with the European Union.

Brexit may create additional economic stresses for the UK, which may include causing a contraction of the UK economy and price volatility in UK stocks, decreased trade, capital outflows, devaluation of pounds sterling, and wider corporate bond spreads due to uncertainty and declines in business and consumer spending as well as foreign direct investment. A fund may be negatively impacted by changes in law and tax treatment resulting from or following Brexit. The UK may be less stable than it has been in recent years, and investments in the UK may be difficult to value, or subject to greater or more frequent rises and falls in value. Brexit could adversely affect European or worldwide political, regulatory, economic or market conditions and could contribute to instability in global political institutions, regulatory agencies and financial markets. Until the economic effects of Brexit become clearer, and while a period of political, regulatory and commercial uncertainty continues, there remains a risk that Brexit may negatively impact the value of investments held by a fund. In addition, any further exits from the European Union, or the possibility of such exits, would likely cause additional market disruption globally and introduce new legal and regulatory uncertainties.

U.S. Government securities and Government sponsored enterprises  |  A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed by the applicable entity only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Investments in securities issued by Government sponsored enterprises are debt obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. These obligations vary in the level of support they receive from the U.S. Government. They may be: (1) supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Government National Mortgage Association; (2) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Farm Credit Banks; (3) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency obligations, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; or (4) supported only by the credit of the issuer, such as those of the Federal Farm Credit Bureau. The U.S. Government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. Government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In such circumstances, if the issuer defaulted, a fund may not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Like all bonds, U.S. Government securities and Government-sponsored enterprise bonds are also subject to interest rate risk, credit risk and market risk. The rising U.S. national debt may lead to adverse impacts on the value of U.S. government securities due to potentially higher costs for the U.S. government to obtain new financing.

U.S. Treasury obligations  |  Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States; however, the U.S. government guarantees the securities only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity, and the market prices of such securities may fluctuate. The value of U.S. Treasury obligations may vary due to changes in interest rates. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of a fund’s investments in obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury to decline. Certain political events in the U.S., such as a prolonged government shutdown, may also cause investors to lose confidence in the U.S. government and may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Because U.S. Treasury securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may also rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. The total public debt of the U.S. as a percent of GDP has grown rapidly since the beginning of the recent financial and market volatility as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Although high debt levels do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, they have the potential to create systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented.

Valuation  |  Securities held by a fund may be priced by an independent pricing service and also may be priced using dealer quotes or fair valuation methodologies in accordance with valuation procedures adopted by the fund’s Board. The prices provided by the independent pricing service or dealers or the fair valuations may be different from the prices used by other mutual funds or from the prices at which securities are actually bought and sold. This risk may be pronounced for investments that may be illiquid or may become illiquid and for securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility.

Value stocks  |  Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that their true worth may not be fully realized by the market or that their prices may decline. This may result in the value stocks’ prices remaining undervalued for extended periods of time. A fund’s performance also may be affected adversely if value stocks remain unpopular with or lose favor among investors. If a value investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, a fund could underperform funds that use a non-value approach to investing or have a broader investment style.
