Returns for Class A shares are shown
with and without the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%. Returns for Class C shares are shown with and without the 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge for the first year only. The Fund’s other share
classes are not subject to sales charges and have limited eligibility. Please see the Fund’s prospectus for details. Performance for different share classes will vary based on differences in sales charges and
fees associated with each share class. All results shown assume reinvestment of distributions during the period. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on Fund distributions or on the
redemption of Fund shares. Performance results reflect the effect of any fee waivers or reimbursements of Fund expenses by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and/or any of its affiliates. Absent these fee
waivers or expense reimbursement arrangements, performance results would have been lower.
The performance information shown
represents past performance and is not a guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value of your investment will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance information shown. You may obtain performance information current to the most recent month-end by contacting your financial
intermediary, visiting columbiathreadneedleus.com/investor/ or calling 800.345.6611.
The Fund’s performance prior
to October 2019 reflects returns achieved by the Investment Manager according to different principal investment strategies. If the Fund’s current management and strategies had been in place for the prior
periods, results shown may have been different.
The FTSE One-Month U.S. Treasury
Bill Index is an unmanaged index that represents the performance of one-month Treasury bills and reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices.
HFRX Global Hedge Fund Index is
designed to be representative of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe.
Indices are not available for
investment, are not professionally managed and do not reflect sales charges, fees, brokerage commissions, taxes or other expenses of investing. Securities in the Fund may not match those in an index.

(a) The Fund has market exposure
(long and/or short) to fixed income, commodity and equity asset classes and foreign currency through its investments in derivatives. The notional exposure of a financial instrument is the nominal or face amount that
is used to calculate payments made on that instrument and/or changes in value for the instrument. The notional exposure is a hypothetical underlying quantity upon which payment obligations are computed. Notional
exposures provide a gauge for how the Fund may behave given changes in individual markets. For a description of the Fund’s investments in derivatives, see Investments in derivatives following the Consolidated
Portfolio of Investments, and Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Understanding Your Fund’s
Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types
of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees,
distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with
the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s
expenses
To illustrate these ongoing
costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment
of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the
“Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the
expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under
the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the
Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or
the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are
required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are
meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in
comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period
are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal
half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and
expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

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

which represents 0.87% of total net assets.
|
(f)

interest rate shown was the current rate as of November 30, 2022.
|
(g)
| Represents interest only securities which have the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans.
|
(h)
| Represents a security purchased on a when-issued basis.
|
(i)
| This security or a portion of this security has been pledged as collateral in connection with derivative contracts.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair
value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available.
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the
Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is
deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example,
certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in
the three broad levels listed below:
■
| Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
|
■
| Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
|
■
| Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the 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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered
by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement 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 are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency
and corroboration to support these 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 Investment Manager. 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 company data.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees
(the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization,
including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly
to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of
Board-approved valuation policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party
pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing,
including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss
additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. Representatives of Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC report to the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

Investments for all investment classifications not indicated in the table.
The Fund’s assets assigned to
the Level 2 input category are generally valued using the market approach, in which a security’s value is determined through reference to prices and information from market transactions for similar or identical
assets.
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts, futures contracts and swap contracts are valued at unrealized appreciation (depreciation).

(a) Change in unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) relating to securities held at November 30, 2022 was $2,491,714 which is comprised of Asset-Backed Securities — Non-Agency of $2,681,334 and Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
— Non-Agency of $(189,620).
The Fund’s assets assigned to
the Level 3 category are valued utilizing the valuation technique deemed the most appropriate in the circumstances. Certain residential and asset-backed securities classified as Level 3 securities are valued using the
market approach and utilize single market quotations from broker dealers which may have included, but were not limited to, observable transactions for identical or similar assets in the market and the distressed
nature of the security. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is monitored on an ongoing basis which may include results of back testing, manual price reviews and other control procedures.
Significant increases (decreases) to any of these inputs would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

Consolidated Financial Highlights
The following table is intended to
help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are
calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total
return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain
derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Note 1. Organization
Columbia Multi Strategy
Alternatives Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Basis for consolidation
CMSAF1 Offshore Fund, Ltd., CMSAF2
Offshore Fund, Ltd. and CMSAF3 Offshore Fund, Ltd. (each, a Subsidiary) are each a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Fund. Each Subsidiary acts as an investment vehicle in order to
effect certain investment strategies consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies as stated in its current prospectus and statement of additional information. In accordance with the Memorandum
and Articles of Association of each Subsidiary (the Articles), the Fund owns the sole issued share of each Subsidiary and retains all rights associated with such share, including the right to receive notice of, attend
and vote at general meetings of the Subsidiaries, rights in a winding-up or repayment of capital and the right to participate in the profits or assets of the Subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements
(financial statements) include the accounts of the consolidated Fund and each respective Subsidiary. Subsequent references to the Fund within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements collectively refer to the
Fund and each Subsidiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation process.

Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited
number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and
liquidation rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may
have different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a
liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.
As described in the Fund’s
prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class,
Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also
described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of
significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company
that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are
valued based on prices obtained from pricing services, which are intended to reflect market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing
techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes.
Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities
maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.
Asset- and mortgage-backed
securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities’ cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data,
including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage,
prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or
exchange bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management
believes does not approximate fair value.
Investments in open-end investment
companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures
contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of a settlement price, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Option contracts are valued at the
mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on their primary exchanges. Option contracts, including over-the-counter option contracts, with no readily available market quotations are valued using mid-market
evaluations from independent third-party vendors.
Swap transactions are valued
through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if
available.
The determination of fair value
often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used
to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following
the Fund’s Consolidated Portfolio of Investments.
Foreign currency transactions and
translations
The values of all assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains
(losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange
Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
| 41
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
rates between trade and settlement dates on
securities transactions, gains (losses) arising from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding
taxes.
For financial statement purposes,
the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain
derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more
securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to
certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain
investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its
obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements
which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in
the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer
a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its
obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by
the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk
to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract;
therefore, failure of the clearinghouse or CCP may pose additional counterparty credit risk. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation
margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into
bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will
typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its
contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement)
or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts
and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset
with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically
permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may
impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements
differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain
circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as
well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and
comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a
42
| Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund | Semiannual Report 2022

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount
threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from
counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker. Any interest expense paid by the Fund is shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund
attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those
counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements
allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified
time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination
rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk,
whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes,
the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure
associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift investment exposure from one currency to another and to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar. These
instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.
The values of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is
exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the
counterparty in U.S. dollars without delivery of foreign currency.
The use of forward foreign currency
exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in
the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are
exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to produce incremental earnings, to manage the
duration and yield curve exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates, to manage exposure to the securities market and to generate total return through long and short
positions. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and
may realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures
contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be
maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as
initial margin are designated in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change
in the contract value and are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its
Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
| 43
|
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)

margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized
gain or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Options contracts
Options are contracts which entitle
the holder to purchase or sell securities or other identified assets at a specified price, or in the case of index option contracts, to receive or pay the difference between the index value and the strike price of the
index option contract. Option contracts can be either exchange-traded or over-the-counter. The Fund purchased and has written option contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These instruments
may be used for other purposes in future periods. Completion of transactions for option contracts traded in the over-the-counter market depends upon the performance of the other party. Collateral may be collected or
posted by the Fund to secure over-the-counter option contract trades. Collateral held or posted by the Fund for such option contract trades must be returned to the broker or the Fund upon closure, exercise or
expiration of the contract.
Options contracts purchased are
recorded as investments. When the Fund writes an options contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of
Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option written. Changes in the fair value of the written option are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation
until the contract is exercised or has expired. The Fund realizes a gain or loss when the option contract is closed or expires. When option contracts are exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call or
purchased put option contract, or the purchase cost for a written put or purchased call option contract, is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
For over-the-counter options
purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the
contracts. Option contracts written by the Fund do not typically give rise to significant counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform. The risk in
writing a call option contract is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases above the strike price and the option contract is exercised. The risk in writing a put
option contract is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases below the strike price and the option contract is exercised. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund
purchasing or selling a security or foreign currency when it otherwise would not, or at a price different from the current market value. In purchasing and writing options, the Fund bears the risk of an unfavorable
change in the value of the underlying instrument or the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market.
Interest rate swaption contracts
Interest rate swaption contracts
entered into by the Fund typically represent an option that gives the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap contract on a future date. Each interest rate swaption contract
will specify if the buyer is entitled to receive the fixed or floating rate if the interest rate is exercised. Changes in the value of a purchased interest rate swaption contracts are reported as unrealized
appreciation or depreciation on options in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Gain or loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations when the interest rate swaption contract is
closed or expires.
When the Fund writes an interest
rate swaption contract, the premium received is recorded as an asset and an amount equivalent to the premium is recorded as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is subsequently
adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the interest rate swaption contract written. Premiums received from writing interest rate swaption contracts that expire unexercised are recorded by the Fund on the
expiration date as realized gains from options written in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including
brokerage commissions, is also recorded as realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase, as realized loss. These amounts are reflected as net realized gain (loss) on options
written in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are negotiated in
the over-the-counter market and are entered into bilaterally or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a
broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with
the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities
deposited as initial margin are designated in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. For a bilateral swap
contract, the Fund has credit exposure to the broker, but exchanges daily variation margin with the broker based on the mark-to-market value of the swap contract to minimize that exposure. For centrally cleared swap
contracts, the Fund has minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes
in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Consolidated Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
Entering into these contracts
involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the
possibility that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, that it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or
price which may result in significant losses, and that the bilateral counterparty, FCM, or CCP, as applicable, may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.
Credit default swap contracts
The Fund entered into credit
default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index and to manage credit risk exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are
transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although
specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit
default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange
for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the
value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
As the seller of a credit default
swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on a notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract with the counterparty occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference
obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation (recovery
value) as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of
undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. These potential amounts may
be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or upfront receipts upon entering into the agreement. The notional amounts and market values of all credit default swap contracts in
which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments.
Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund | Semiannual Report 2022

|
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
As a protection seller, the Fund
bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract with the counterparty. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an
indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s
credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.
Any upfront payment or receipt by
the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Credit default swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can
involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging
risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.
Interest rate and inflation
rate swap contracts
The Fund entered into interest rate
swap transactions and/or inflation rate swap contracts to manage interest rate and market risk exposure to produce incremental earnings, to gain exposure to or protect itself from market rate changes, to synthetically
add or subtract principal exposure to a market and to obtain long or short exposure to the total return on a reference index in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. These
instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. An interest rate swap or inflation rate swap, as applicable, is an agreement between two parties where there are two flows and payments are made between
the two counterparties and the payments are dependent upon changes in an interest rate, inflation rate or inflation index calculated on a nominal amount. Interest rate swaps are agreements between two parties that
involve the exchange of one type of interest rate for another type of interest rate cash flow on specified dates in the future, based on a predetermined, specified notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps are
considered forward-starting, whereby the accrual for the exchange of cash flows does not begin until a specified date in the future. The net cash flow for a standard interest rate swap transaction is generally the
difference between a floating market interest rate versus a fixed interest rate.
Interest rate swaps are valued
daily and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is recorded. Certain interest rate swaps may accrue periodic interest on a daily basis as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation); the Fund will realize a
gain or loss upon the payment or receipt of accrued interest. The Fund will realize a gain or a loss when the interest rate swap is terminated.
Total return swap contracts
The Fund entered into total return
swap contracts to manage long or short exposure to the total return on a reference security index in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate. These instruments may be used for other
purposes in future periods. Total return swap contracts may be used to obtain exposure to an underlying reference security, instrument, or other asset or index or market without owning, taking physical custody of, or
short selling any such security, instrument or asset in a market.
Total return swap contracts are
valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time the Fund will realize a gain (loss). Periodic payments received (or made) by
the Fund over the term of the contract are recorded as realized gains (losses). Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk associated with the investment in the underlying reference security, instrument or
asset. This risk may be offset if the Fund holds any of the underlying reference security, instrument or asset. Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk that the counterparty may not fulfill its obligations
under the contract. This risk is offset by the daily exchange of variation margin with the swap counterparty.

Asset- and mortgage-backed
securities
The Fund may invest in asset-backed
and mortgage-backed securities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. All, or a portion,
of the obligation may be prepaid at any time because the underlying asset may be prepaid. As a result, decreasing market interest rates could result in an increased level of prepayment. An increased prepayment rate
will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on
other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” or "forward commitment" basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may
fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
To be announced securities
The Fund may trade securities on a
To Be Announced (TBA) basis. As with other delayed-delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered.
Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms.
In some cases, Master Securities
Forward Transaction Agreements (MSFTAs) may be used to govern transactions of certain forward-settling agency mortgage-backed securities, such as delayed-delivery and TBAs, between the Fund and counterparty. The MSFTA
maintains provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral relating to such transactions.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Fund may enter into mortgage
“dollar rolls” in which the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts with the same counterparty to repurchase similar but not identical securities (same type,
coupon and maturity) on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund loses the right to receive principal and interest paid on the securities sold. However, the Fund may benefit because it receives
negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price for the future purchase plus the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the securities sold until the settlement date of the forward purchase. The
Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as a realized gain or loss. Unless any realized gains exceed the income, capital appreciation, and gain or loss due to
mortgage prepayments that would have been realized on the securities sold as part of the mortgage dollar roll, the use of this technique may diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared to what the
performance would have been without the use of mortgage dollar rolls. All cash proceeds will be invested in instruments that are permissible investments for the Fund. The Fund identifies cash or liquid securities in
an amount equal to the forward purchase price.
For financial reporting and tax
purposes, the Fund treats “to be announced” mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions, one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. These transactions may
increase the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Fund does not currently enter into mortgage dollar rolls that are accounted for as financing transactions.
Mortgage dollar rolls involve the
risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is obligated to repurchase may decline below the repurchase price, or that the counterparty may default on its obligations.
Interest only and principal only
securities
The Fund may invest in Interest
Only (IO) or Principal Only (PO) securities. IOs are stripped securities entitled to receive all of the security’s interest, but none of its principal. IOs are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates
and therefore subject to greater fluctuations in price than typical interest bearing debt securities. IOs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of the interest payments if the
issuer, obligor, guarantor or counterparty defaults on its obligation. Payments received for IOs are included in interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Because no principal will be received at
the maturity of an IO, adjustments are made to the cost of the security on a monthly basis

until maturity. These adjustments are included in
interest income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. POs are stripped securities entitled to receive the principal from the underlying obligation, but not the interest. POs are particularly sensitive to
changes in interest rates and therefore are subject to fluctuations in price. POs are also subject to credit risk because the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal if the issuer, obligor, guarantor or
counterparty defaults on its obligation. The Fund may also invest in IO or PO stripped mortgage-backed securities. Payments received for POs are treated as reductions to the cost and par value of the securities.

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted
for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The
Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
The Fund may place a debt security
on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. The Fund may also adjust
accrual rates when it becomes probable the full interest will not be collected and a partial payment will be received. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest
payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are
allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are
charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset
value
All income, expenses (other than
class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily
basis, based on the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each
year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for its
tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income, capital gain net income and certain other
amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s
organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition,
certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims
that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
In October 2022, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs); Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form
amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured
data format. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments will become effective
January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
Note 3. Fees and other
transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund has entered into a
Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the
Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The Investment Manager is responsible for the ultimate oversight of investments made by the
Fund. The Fund’s subadvisers (see Subadvisory agreements below) have the primary responsibility for the day-to-day portfolio management of their portion of the Fund. The management services fee is an annual fee
that is equal to a percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.96% to 0.93% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months
ended November 30, 2022 was 0.96% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Subadvisory agreements
The Investment Manager has entered
into Subadvisory Agreements with AQR Capital Management, LLC and PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC, each of which subadvises a portion of the assets of the Fund. New investments in the Fund, net of any redemptions, are
allocated in accordance with the Investment Manager’s determination. Each subadviser’s proportionate share of investments in the Fund will vary due to market fluctuations. The Investment Manager
compensates each subadviser to manage the investment of the Fund’s assets.
In addition, the Fund’s Board
of Trustees has approved a Subadvisory Agreement between the Investment Manager and Threadneedle International Limited (Threadneedle), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of
Ameriprise Financial. As of November 30, 2022, Threadneedle is not providing services to the Fund pursuant to the Subadvisory Agreement.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees
who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred
Compensation Plan (the Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been
invested in shares of certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the
Deferred Plan. All amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current
period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations.
Compensation of Chief Compliance
Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed
a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation
is allocated to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.

Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend
Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for
providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with SS&C GIDS, Inc. (SS&C GIDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset
Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of
out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a
monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of
accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the
Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives
compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an
annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended November
30, 2022, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| Effective rate (%)
|
Class A
| 0.12
|
Advisor Class
| 0.13
|
Class C
| 0.12
|
Institutional Class
| 0.12
|
Institutional 2 Class
| 0.07
|
Institutional 3 Class
| 0.02
|
Class R
| 0.11
|
An annual minimum account balance
fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum
account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, these minimum account balance fees
reduced total expenses of the Fund by $20.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has entered into an
agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder
services. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the
Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C and Class R shares of the Fund, respectively.

Management of the Fund has
concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at
a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the
prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio
information
The cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $1,100,078,646 and $970,294,260, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2022, of which
$1,092,047,760 and $921,393,968, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Consolidated Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money
market fund
The Fund invests significantly in
Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is
included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF
prices its shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend
redemptions (sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Interfund
lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order
granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and,
except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject
to certain restrictions.
Interfund loans are subject to the
risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject
to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.
The Fund’s activity in the
Interfund Program during the six months ended November 30, 2022 was as follows:
Borrower or lender
| Average loan
balance ($)
| Weighted average
interest rate (%)
| Number of days
with outstanding loans

Interest income earned by the Fund
is recorded as Interfund lending in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund had an outstanding interfund loan balance at November 30, 2022 as shown in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
The loans are unsecured.

Note 8. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager
or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the
higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility
matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee
is included in other expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had
access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was
charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank
funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%.
The Fund had no borrowings during
the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Note 9. Significant
risks
Alternative strategies investment
risk
An investment in alternative
investment strategies (Alternative Strategies) involves risks, which may be significant. Alternative Strategies may include strategies, instruments or other assets, such as derivatives, that seek investment returns
uncorrelated with the broad equity and fixed income/debt markets, as well as those providing exposure to other markets (such as commodity markets), including but not limited to absolute (positive) return strategies.
Alternative Strategies may fail to achieve their desired performance, market or other exposure, or their returns (or lack thereof) may be more correlated with the broad equity and/or fixed income/debt markets than was
anticipated, and the Fund may lose money.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the
value of debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer defaults or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor its financial obligations,
such as making payments to the Fund when due. Credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain debt instruments to indicate their credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated debt instruments held by the Fund may
present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt instruments.
Derivatives risk
Losses involving derivative
instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small movement in the underlying reference (which is generally the price, rate or other economic indicator associated with a security(ies), commodity, currency,
index or other instrument or asset) may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund.
Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging
risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk and pricing risk.
Foreign currency risk
The performance of the Fund may be
materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other
assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly over short or long periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest
rates, imposition of currency controls and economic or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. The Fund may also incur currency conversion costs when converting foreign currencies into U.S. dollars and vice
versa.

Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of
losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt instruments tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt instruments tend to rise.
Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Higher periods of inflation could lead such authorities to raise interest rates. Increasing interest rates
may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a
debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation.
Leverage risk
Leverage occurs when the Fund
increases its assets available for investment using borrowings, short sales, derivatives, or similar instruments or techniques. The use of leverage may produce volatility and may exaggerate changes in the Fund’s
NAV and in the return on the Fund’s portfolio, which may increase the risk that the Fund will lose more than it has invested. Because short sales involve borrowing securities and then selling them, the
Fund’s short sales effectively leverage the Fund’s assets. The Fund’s assets that are used as collateral to secure the Fund’s obligations to return the securities sold short may decrease in
value while the short positions are outstanding, which may force the Fund to use its other assets to increase the collateral. Leverage can create an interest expense that may lower the Fund’s overall returns.
Leverage presents the opportunity for increased net income and capital gains, but may also exaggerate the Fund’s volatility and risk of loss. There can be no guarantee that a leveraging strategy will be
successful.
LIBOR replacement risk
The elimination of London
Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR), among other "inter-bank offered" reference rates, may adversely affect the interest rates on, and value of, certain Fund investments for which the value is tied to LIBOR. The U.K.
Financial Conduct Authority and the ICE Benchmark Administration have announced that a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will cease publication after June 30, 2023. A subset of non-U.S. dollar LIBOR settings is
continuing to be published on a “synthetic” basis and it is possible that a subset of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings will also be published after June 30, 2023 on a “synthetic” basis. Any such
publications are, or would be considered, non-representative of the underlying market. Markets are slowly developing in response to the elimination of LIBOR. Uncertainty related to the liquidity impact of the change
in rates, and how to appropriately adjust these rates at the time of transition, poses risks for the Fund. These risks are likely to persist until new reference rates and fallbacks for both legacy and new instruments
and contracts are commercially accepted and market practices become more settled. Alternatives to LIBOR have been established or are in development in most major currencies, including the Secured Overnight Financing
Rate (SOFR), which the U.S. Federal Reserve is promoting as the alternative reference rate to U.S. dollar LIBOR.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk
associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the
interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another,
more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can
lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Market risk
The Fund may incur losses due to
declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or
social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers,
which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and
financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or
58

Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
financial market. These risks may be magnified if
certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as
terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant
negative impact on global economic and market conditions.
The large-scale invasion of Ukraine
by Russia in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations of
Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter-measures or responses
thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and
espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in
credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events
could negatively impact Fund performance.
The pandemic caused by coronavirus
disease 2019 and its variants (COVID-19) has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource
availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce
displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by
governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks,
epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks
and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. 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 disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner
and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
Money market fund investment risk
An investment in a money market
fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by any bank, the FDIC or any other government agency. Certain money market funds float their net asset value while others seek to preserve the value of
investments at a stable net asset value (typically, $1.00 per share). An investment in a money market fund, even an investment in a fund seeking to maintain a stable net asset value per share, is not guaranteed and it
is possible for the Fund to lose money by investing in these and other types of money market funds. If the liquidity of a money market fund’s portfolio deteriorates below certain levels, the money market fund
may suspend redemptions (i.e., impose a redemption gate) and thereby prevent the Fund from selling its investment in the money market fund or impose a fee of up to 2% on amounts the Fund redeems from the money market
fund (i.e., impose a liquidity fee). These measures may result in an investment loss or prohibit the Fund from redeeming shares when the Investment Manager would otherwise redeem shares. In addition to the fees and
expenses that the Fund directly bears, the Fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of any money market funds in which it invests, including affiliated money market funds. By investing in a money market fund, the
Fund will be exposed to the investment risks of the money market fund in direct proportion to such investment. To the extent the Fund invests in instruments such as derivatives, the Fund may hold investments,
which may be significant, in money market fund shares to cover its obligations resulting from the Fund’s investments in such instruments. Money market funds and the securities they invest in are subject to
comprehensive regulations. The enactment of new legislation or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operation, performance and/or yield of money
market funds.

|
Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Mortgage- and other asset-backed
securities risk
The value of any mortgage-backed
and other asset-backed securities including collateralized debt obligations, if any, held by the Fund may be affected by, among other things, changes or perceived changes in: interest rates; factors concerning the
interests in and structure of the issuer or the originator of the mortgages or other assets; the creditworthiness of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds or other credit enhancements;
or the market’s assessment of the quality of underlying assets. Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage-backed securities (but not the market value of the securities themselves) may be guaranteed by
the full faith and credit of a particular U.S. Government agency, authority, enterprise or instrumentality, and some, but not all, are also insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage-backed securities
issued by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, savings and loan institutions, private mortgage insurance companies, mortgage bankers and other secondary market issuers) may entail greater risk than
obligations guaranteed by the U.S. Government. Mortgage- and other asset-backed securities are subject to liquidity risk and prepayment risk. A decline or flattening of housing values may cause delinquencies in
mortgages (especially sub-prime or non-prime mortgages) underlying mortgage-backed securities and thereby adversely affect the ability of the mortgage-backed securities issuer to make principal and/or interest
payments to mortgage-backed securities holders, including the Fund. Rising or high interest rates tend to extend the duration of mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, making their prices more volatile and more
sensitive to changes in interest rates.
Shareholder concentration risk
At November 30, 2022, affiliated
shareholders of record owned 93.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the
Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of
less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 10. Subsequent
events
Management has evaluated the
events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information
regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain
of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection
with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates
are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under
their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters
that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that
these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe
proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to
uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines,
penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial or one or more of its affiliates that provides services to
the Fund.

Approval of Management
and SubadvisoryAgreements
(Unaudited)
Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves
as the investment manager to Columbia Multi Strategy Alternatives Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the
Fund and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds). In addition, under the subadvisory agreements (the Subadvisory Agreements) between the Investment
Manager and each of AQR Capital Management, LLC (AQR), PGIM Quantitative Solutions LLC (PGIM) and Threadneedle International Limited (Threadneedle), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, (collectively, the
Subadvisers), the Subadvisers have been retained to perform portfolio management and related services for the Fund. Although Threadneedle is not currently providing such services, the Investment Manager may in the
future reallocate Fund assets to be managed by Threadneedle.
On an annual basis, the
Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements (together, the Advisory
Agreements). The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports
providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by
independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel) to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its
committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager
provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the
Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the Advisory Agreements.
The Board, at its June 23, 2022
Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements for additional one-year terms. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various
factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory and subadvisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all
information that they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of each of the Advisory Agreements. Among other things, the information
and factors considered included the following:
•
| Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;
|
•
| Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;
|
•
| The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and
certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net
assets;

Following an analysis and
discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of each of the Advisory Agreements.
Nature, extent and quality of
services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers
The Board analyzed various
reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, as well as their history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the
qualifications of their personnel.
The Board specifically considered
the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager, including, in particular, detailed information regarding the process employed for selecting and overseeing
affiliated and unaffiliated Subadvisers. With respect to the Investment Manager, the Board also noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The Board further observed the
enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2022 initiatives in this regard. The Board also took into account the
broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to each subadvised Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the information it
received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation to investment
personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services provided. The
Board also considered added personnel and resources obtained by Columbia Threadneedle through Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of BMO Financial Group’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) asset
management business.
In connection with the
Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment
Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Advisory
Agreements, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment
Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.
In addition, the Board discussed
the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement (including the relatively broad scope of services required to be performed by the Investment Manager in addition to monitoring each Subadviser), noting that
no changes were proposed from the forms of agreements previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.
The Board considered each
Subadviser’s organizational strength and resources, portfolio management team depth and capabilities and investment process. The Board also considered each Subadviser’s capability and wherewithal to carry
out its responsibilities under the applicable Subadvisory Agreement. In addition, the Board discussed the acceptability of the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements, including the scope of services required to be
performed. The Board noted that the terms of the Subadvisory Agreements are generally consistent with the terms of other subadvisory agreements for subadvisers who

Manager. It was observed that no changes were recommended to the Subadvisory Agreements. The Board took into account the Investment Manager’s representation that each Subadviser was in a position to provide
quality services to the Fund. In this regard, the Board further observed the various services provided by the Investment Manager’s subadvisory oversight team and their significant resources added in recent
years.
After reviewing these and related
factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the
Advisory Agreements supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.
Investment performance
In this connection, the Board
carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various
periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s
performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed the Fund’s underperformance for certain periods, noting that the Fund had improved performance over the
one-year period ended March 31, 2022.
Additionally, the Board reviewed
the performance of each of AQR and PGIM and the Investment Manager’s process for monitoring such Subadvisers’ performance. The Board considered, in particular, management’s rationale for recommending
the continued retention of each Subadviser and management’s representations that the Investment Manager’s profitability is not the key factor driving their recommendation to select, renew or terminate AQR
or PGIM.
The Board also reviewed a
description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.
The Board also considered the
Investment Manager’s and Subadvisers’ performance and reputation generally, and the Investment Manager’s evaluation of each Subadviser’s contribution to the Fund’s broader investment
mandate and the Investment Manager’s willingness to take steps intended to improve performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions,
that the performance of the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadvisers, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.
Comparative fees, costs of
services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund
The Board reviewed comparative
fees and the costs of services provided under each of the Advisory Agreements. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other
things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the
Fund’s contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.
The Board considered the reports of
JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary
objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain
exceptions) are generally in line with the current "pricing philosophy" such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison
universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) was below the peer universe’s median expense ratio shown in the reports.

Approval of Management and Subadvisory
Agreements (continued)
(Unaudited)
Additionally, the Board reviewed the level of
subadvisory fees paid under each Subadvisory Agreement, noting that the fees are paid by the Investment Manager and do not impact the fees paid by the Fund. The Board also reviewed advisory fee rates charged by other
comparable mutual funds employing each Subadviser to provide comparable subadvisory services. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the
levels of management fees, subadvisory fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of each of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.
The Board also considered the
profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. Because the Subadvisory Agreements with each of AQR and PGIM were
negotiated at arms-length by the Investment Manager, which is responsible for payments to the Subadvisers thereunder, the Board did not consider the profitability to each of AQR and PGIM from its relationship with the
Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial
from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the
Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety of factors, including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the
Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar
benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its
business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to
the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the
potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale
were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading,
compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit
from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management
Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other
means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.
Conclusion
The Board reviewed all of the
above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.
On June 23, 2022, the Board,
including all of the Independent Trustees, determined that fees payable under each of the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the extent and quality of services provided and approved the renewal
of each of the Advisory Agreements.

Understanding Your Fund’s
Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types
of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees,
distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with
the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s
expenses
To illustrate these ongoing
costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment
of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the
“Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the
expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under
the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the
Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or
the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are
required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are
meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in
comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses do not include fees and
expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

Fair value
measurements
The Fund categorizes
its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when
available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that
reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input
that is deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For
example, certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active
market.
Fair value inputs are
summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
■
| Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
|
■
| Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
|
■
| Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Fair value measurements (continued)
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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the
marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as
of the measurement 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 are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency
and corroboration to support these 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 Investment Manager. 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 company data.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees
(the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization,
including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly
to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of
Board-approved valuation policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party
pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing,
including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss
additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. Representatives of Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC report to the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

The following table is intended to
help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are
calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total
return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain
derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia Dividend Income Fund
(the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited
number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation
rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have
different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a
liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.
As described in the Fund’s
prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class,
Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also
described in the Fund’s prospectus. Class V shares are available only to investors who received (and who continuously held) Class V shares in connection with previous fund reorganizations.
Effective November 1, 2021, the
Fund was closed to new investors, other than those who invest in the Fund through certain financial intermediaries selected by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor) and retirement plans
currently invested and those approved by the Distributor to invest in the Fund.
Note 2. Summary of
significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company
that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Equity securities listed on an
exchange are valued at the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities with a closing price not readily available or not listed on
any exchange are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. Listed preferred stocks convertible into common stocks are valued using an evaluated price from a pricing service.
Foreign equity securities are
valued based on the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. If any foreign equity security closing prices are not readily available,
the securities are valued at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices on such exchanges or markets. Foreign currency exchange rates are determined at the scheduled closing time of the New York Stock Exchange.
Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange; therefore, the closing prices for securities in such markets or on such exchanges may not fully reflect
events that occur after such close but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. In those situations, foreign securities will be fair valued pursuant to a policy approved by the Board of Trustees. Under the
policy, the Fund may utilize a third-party pricing service to determine these fair values. The third-party pricing service takes into account multiple factors, including, but not limited to, movements in the U.S.
securities markets, certain depositary receipts, futures contracts and foreign exchange rates that have occurred subsequent to the
20
| Columbia Dividend Income Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
close of the foreign exchange or market, to
determine a good faith estimate that reasonably reflects the current market conditions as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of a security is likely to be different from the quoted or
published price, if available.
Investments in open-end investment
companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.
Investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if
available.
The determination of fair value
often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used
to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following
the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted
for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Corporate actions and dividend
income are generally recorded net of any non-reclaimable tax withholdings, on the ex-dividend date or upon receipt of an ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign securities.
The Fund may receive distributions
from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts
(REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported.
Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the
extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise
Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a
proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation
are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities on the payment date, the proceeds are recorded as
realized gains.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are
allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are
charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset
value
All income, expenses (other than
class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on
the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each
year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for its
tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income, capital gain net income and certain other
amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared and paid each calendar quarter. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s
organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition,
certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims
that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent accounting pronouncement
Tailored Shareholder Reports
In October 2022, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs); Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form
amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured
data format. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments will become effective
January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
Note 3. Fees and other
transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund has entered into a
Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the
Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. Effective July 1, 2022, the management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a
percentage of the Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.72% to 0.5025% as the Fund’s net assets increase. Prior to July 1, 2022, the management services fee was equal to a percentage of the
Fund’s daily net assets that declined from 0.72% to 0.505% as the Fund’s net assets increased. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended November 30, 2022 was 0.5293%
of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees
who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of
certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All
amounts payable under the Deferred Plan
22
| Columbia Dividend Income Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
constitute a general unsecured obligation of the
Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of
market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" in the Statement of Operations.
Compensation of Chief Compliance
Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed
a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated
to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend
Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for
providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with SS&C GIDS, Inc. (SS&C GIDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset
Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of
out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a
monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of
accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the
Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives
compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an
annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended November
30, 2022, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| Effective rate (%)
|
Class A
| 0.12
|
Advisor Class
| 0.12
|
Class C
| 0.12
|
Institutional Class
| 0.12
|
Institutional 2 Class
| 0.06
|
Institutional 3 Class
| 0.01
|
Class R
| 0.12
|
Class V
| 0.12
|
An annual minimum account balance
fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum
account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, these minimum account balance fees reduced total
expenses of the Fund by $1,860.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has entered into an
agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder
services. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the
Columbia Dividend Income Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
| 23
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which
set the distribution and service fees for the Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and
providing services to investors.
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund,
respectively.
Although the Fund may pay
distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for
shareholder services), the Fund currently limits such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.
Shareholder services fees
The Fund has adopted a shareholder
services plan that permits it to pay for certain services provided to Class V shareholders by their selling and/or servicing agents. The Fund may pay shareholder servicing fees up to an aggregate annual rate of 0.50%
of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class V shares (comprised of up to 0.25% for shareholder services and up to 0.25% for administrative support services). These fees are currently limited to
an aggregate annual rate of not more than 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class V shares.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end
charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended November 30, 2022, if any, are listed below:
| Front End (%)
| CDSC (%)

Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain
of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Under the agreement governing
these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes

brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed
money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be
modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are
not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.
Note 4. Federal tax
information
The timing and character of
income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At November 30, 2022, the
approximate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal
tax cost ($)
| Gross unrealized
appreciation ($)
| Gross unrealized
(depreciation) ($)
| Net unrealized
appreciation ($)
|
25,662,170,000
| 13,299,904,000
| (321,059,000)
| 12,978,845,000
|
Tax cost of investments and
unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.
Management of the Fund has
concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at
a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the
prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio
information
The cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $3,133,268,661 and $3,283,639,664, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The amount of
purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money
market fund
The Fund invests in Columbia
Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is included as
Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its shares with a
floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions (sometimes
referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Interfund
lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order
granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and,
except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject
to certain restrictions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Interfund loans are subject to the
risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject
to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.
The Fund’s activity in the
Interfund Program during the six months ended November 30, 2022 was as follows:

Interest income earned by the Fund
is recorded as Interfund lending in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had no outstanding interfund loans at November 30, 2022.
Note 8. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager
or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the
higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility
matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee
is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each
participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus
in each case, 1.00%.
The Fund had no borrowings during
the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Note 9. Significant
risks
Market risk
The Fund may incur losses due to
declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or
social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers,
which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and
financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may
be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events
such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a
significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.
The large-scale invasion of Ukraine
by Russia in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations of
Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter-measures or responses
thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in
26

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks
and espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in
credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events
could negatively impact Fund performance.
The pandemic caused by coronavirus
disease 2019 and its variants (COVID-19) has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource
availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce
displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by
governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks,
epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks
and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. 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 disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner
and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
Shareholder concentration risk
At November 30, 2022, two
unaffiliated shareholders of record owned 29.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated
shareholders of record owned 13.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the
Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of
less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 10. Subsequent
events
Management has evaluated the
events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information
regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain
of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection
with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates
are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under
their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters
that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that
these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe
proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to
uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could

result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines,
penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial or one or more of its affiliates that provides services to
the Fund.

Approval of Management
Agreement
(Unaudited)
Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves
as the investment manager to Columbia Dividend Income Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and
other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).
On an annual basis, the
Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the
Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party
data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel)
to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior
management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work,
deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the
Management Agreement.
The Board, at its June 23, 2022
Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various
factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they,
their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. Among other things, the information and factors considered included
the following:
•
| Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;
|
•
| Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;
|
•
| The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and
certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net
assets;
|
•
| Terms of the Management Agreement;
|
•
| Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Fund;
|
•
| Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;
|
•
| Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;
|
•
| Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;
|
•
| Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services;
|
•
| The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the
renewal of the Management Agreement.
Nature, extent and quality of
services provided by the Investment Manager
The Board analyzed various
reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager, as well as its history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of its personnel.
The Board specifically considered
the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The
Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2022 initiatives in this regard. The Board
also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the
information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation
to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services
provided. The Board also considered added personnel and resources obtained by Columbia Threadneedle through Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of BMO Financial Group’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa
(EMEA) asset management business.
In connection with the
Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment
Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Management
Agreement, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment
Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.
In addition, the Board discussed
the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement, noting that no changes were proposed from the form of agreement previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services
provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.
After reviewing these and related
factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the
Management Agreement supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Investment performance
In this connection, the Board
carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various
periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s
performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by
Broadridge.
The Board also reviewed a
description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.
The Board also considered the
Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and
the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships
with the Fund
The Board reviewed comparative
fees and the costs of services provided under the Management Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things,
data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s
contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.
The Board considered the reports of
JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary
objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain
exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper
comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio. The Board also
considered the benefits of the proposed additional breakpoints to the Fund’s current fee rate schedule (the Proposed Additional Breakpoints).
After reviewing these and related
factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the
Management Agreement.
The Board also considered the
profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its
affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered
that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety of factors,
including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing
the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the
Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the
Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported
the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the
potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale
were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading,
compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit
from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management
Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other
means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders. In this regard, the Board noted the Proposed Additional Breakpoints.
Conclusion
The Board reviewed all of the
above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

Percentages indicated are based
upon total fixed income investments.
Bond ratings apply to the underlying
holdings of the Fund and not the Fund itself and are divided into categories ranging from highest to lowest credit quality, determined by using the middle rating of Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, after dropping the
highest and lowest available ratings. When ratings are available from only two rating agencies, the lower rating is used. When a rating is available from only one rating agency, that rating is used. If a security is
not rated but has a rating by Kroll and/or DBRS, the same methodology is applied to those bonds that would otherwise be not rated. When a bond is not rated by any rating agency, it is designated as “Not
rated.” Credit quality ratings assigned by a rating agency are subjective opinions, not statements of fact, and are subject to change, including daily. The ratings assigned by credit rating agencies are but one
of the considerations that the Investment Manager and/or Fund’s subadviser incorporates into its credit analysis process, along with such other issuer-specific factors as cash flows, capital structure and
leverage ratios, ability to de-leverage (repay) through free cash flow, quality of management, market positioning and access to capital, as well as such security-specific factors as the terms of the security (e.g.,
interest rate and time to maturity) and the amount and type of any collateral.

Understanding Your Fund’s
Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types
of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees,
distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with
the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s
expenses
To illustrate these ongoing
costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment
of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the
“Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the
expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under
the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the
Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or
the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are
required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are
meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in
comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period
are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal
half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and
expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.
Had Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC and/or certain of its affiliates not waived/reimbursed certain fees and expenses, account value at the end of the period would have been reduced.

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair
value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available.
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the
Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is
deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example,
certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in
the three broad levels listed below:
■
| Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
|
■
| Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
|
■
| Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the 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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered
by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement 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 are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency
and corroboration to support these 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 Investment Manager. 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 company data.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees
(the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization,
including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly
to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of
Board-approved valuation policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party
pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing,
including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss
additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. Representatives of Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC report to the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

The following table is intended to
help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are
calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total
return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain
derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Columbia High Yield Municipal
Fund (the Fund), a series of Columbia Funds Series Trust I (the Trust), is a diversified fund. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.
Fund shares
The Trust may issue an unlimited
number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation
rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have
different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a
liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.
As described in the Fund’s
prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class
and Institutional 3 Class shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also described in the
Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of
significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company
that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Debt securities generally are
valued based on prices obtained from pricing services, which are intended to reflect market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing
techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes.
Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities
maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.
Investments in open-end investment
companies (other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.
Investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if
available.
The determination of fair value
often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used
to determine fair value.
30
| Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
GAAP requires disclosure regarding
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following
the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain
derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more
securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to
certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain
investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its
obligations under the terms of the contract, the potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements
which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial
statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer
a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its
obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by
the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk
to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract;
therefore, failure of the clearinghouse or CCP may pose additional counterparty credit risk. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation
margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into
bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will
typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its
contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement)
or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts
and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset
with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically
permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may
impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements
differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain
circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as
well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and
comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount
threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from
counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the

broker. Any interest expense paid by the Fund is
shown in the Statement of Operations. The Fund attempts to mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and
by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements
allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified
time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination
rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk,
whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes,
the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are
exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage exposure to movements in interest
rates. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may
realize a loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying asset.
Upon entering into a futures
contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be
maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are
designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are
recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss
when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Effects of derivative transactions in
the financial statements
The following tables are intended
to provide additional information about the effect of derivatives on the financial statements of the Fund, including: the fair value of derivatives by risk category and the location of those fair values in the
Statement of Assets and Liabilities; and the impact of derivative transactions over the period in the Statement of Operations, including realized and unrealized gains (losses). The derivative instrument schedules
following the Portfolio of Investments present additional information regarding derivative instruments outstanding at the end of the period, if any.
At November 30, 2022, the Fund had
no outstanding derivatives.

Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on
other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” or "forward commitment" basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may
fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.
Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted
for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted.
The Fund may place a debt security
on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. The Fund may also adjust
accrual rates when it becomes probable the full interest will not be collected and a partial payment will be received. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest
payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.
Dividend income is recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are
allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are
charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset
value
All income, expenses (other than
class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on
the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.

Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each
year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its net tax-exempt and investment company taxable income and net capital
gain, if any, for its tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income, capital gain net
income and certain other amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s
organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition,
certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims
that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent accounting pronouncement
Tailored Shareholder Reports
In October 2022, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs); Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form
amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured
data format. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments will become effective
January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
Note 3. Fees and other
transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund has entered into a
Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). Under the Management Agreement, the
Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is equal to a percentage of the
Fund’s daily net assets that declines from 0.54% to 0.34% as the Fund’s net assets increase. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended November 30, 2022 was 0.54% of
the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees
who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of
certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All
amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any
gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" in the Statement of Operations.

November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Compensation of Chief Compliance
Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed
a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated
to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend
Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for
providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with SS&C GIDS, Inc. (SS&C GIDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset
Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of
out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a
monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of
accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the
Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives
compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an
annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended November
30, 2022, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| Effective rate (%)
|
Class A
| 0.08
|
Advisor Class
| 0.08
|
Class C
| 0.08
|
Institutional Class
| 0.08
|
Institutional 2 Class
| 0.06
|
Institutional 3 Class
| 0.01
|
An annual minimum account balance
fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum
account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, these minimum account balance fees reduced total
expenses of the Fund by $380.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has entered into an
agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder
services. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the
Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund | Semiannual Report 2022

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a monthly
distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.60% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares of the Fund.
Sales charges

Expenses waived/reimbursed by the
Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain
of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole
discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s
custodian, do not exceed the following annual rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

Under the agreement governing
these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes
(including foreign transaction taxes), expenses associated with investments in affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles (including mutual funds and exchange-traded funds), transaction costs and
brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed
money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be
modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are
not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 6. Interfund
lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order
granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and,
except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject
to certain restrictions.
Interfund loans are subject to the
risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject
to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.

Fund is recorded as Interfund lending in the Statement of Operations. The Fund had no outstanding interfund loans at November 30, 2022.
Note 7. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager
or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each

participating fund based on its borrowings at a
rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the
credit facility matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The
commitment fee is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had
access to a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was
charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank
funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%.
The Fund had no borrowings during
the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Note 8. Significant
risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the
value of debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer defaults or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor its financial obligations,
such as making payments to the Fund when due. Credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain debt instruments to indicate their credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated debt instruments held by the Fund may
present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt instruments.
High-yield investments risk
Securities and other debt
instruments held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds) and unrated debt instruments of comparable quality expose the Fund to a greater risk of loss of
principal and income than a fund that invests solely or primarily in investment grade debt instruments. In addition, these investments have greater price fluctuations, are less liquid and are more likely to experience
a default than higher-rated debt instruments. High-yield debt instruments are considered to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of
losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt instruments tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt instruments tend to rise.
Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Higher periods of inflation could lead such authorities to raise interest rates. Increasing interest rates
may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a
debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk
associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the
interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another,
more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can
lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Market risk
The Fund may incur losses due to
declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or
social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced
38

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income
markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and
operational challenges. Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country,
region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As
a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the
potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.
The pandemic caused by coronavirus
disease 2019 and its variants (COVID-19) has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource
availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce
displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by
governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks,
epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks
and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. 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 disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner
and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
Municipal securities risk
Municipal securities are debt
obligations generally issued to obtain funds for various public purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility, and include obligations of
the governments of the U.S. territories, commonwealths and possessions such as Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands to the extent such obligations are exempt from state and U.S. federal income taxes. The
value of municipal securities can be significantly affected by actual or expected political and legislative changes at the federal or state level. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the taxing
authority of the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support, such
as letters of credit, guarantees or insurance, and are generally classified into general obligation bonds and special revenue obligations. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance projects in sectors
such as education, health care, transportation and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market.
Issuers in a state, territory,
commonwealth or possession in which the Fund invests may experience significant financial difficulties for various reasons, including as the result of events that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled such as
economic downturns or similar periods of economic stress, social conflict or unrest, labor disruption and natural disasters. Such financial difficulties may lead to credit rating downgrades or defaults of such issuers
which in turn, could affect the market values and marketability of many or all municipal obligations of issuers in such state, territory, commonwealth or possession. The value of the Fund’s shares will be
negatively impacted to the extent it invests in such securities. The Fund’s annual and semiannual reports show the Fund’s investment exposures at a point in time. The risk of investing in the Fund is
directly correlated to the Fund’s investment exposures.
Securities issued by a particular
state and its instrumentalities are subject to the risk of unfavorable developments in such state. A municipal security can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, regulatory, demographic or political
changes as well as changes in a particular state’s (state and its instrumentalities’) financial, economic or other condition and prospects.

Shareholder concentration risk
At November 30, 2022, one
unaffiliated shareholder of record owned 29.1% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. The Fund has no knowledge about whether any portion of those shares was owned beneficially. Affiliated
shareholders of record owned 21.8% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the
Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of
less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 9. Subsequent
events
Management has evaluated the
events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 10. Information
regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain
of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection
with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates
are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under
their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters
that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that
these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe
proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to
uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines,
penalties or other relief that could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of Ameriprise Financial or one or more of its affiliates that provides services to
the Fund.

Approval of Management
Agreement
(Unaudited)
Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves
as the investment manager to Columbia High Yield Municipal Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund and
other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).
On an annual basis, the
Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for the
Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party
data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel)
to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and senior
management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to the work,
deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue the
Management Agreement.
The Board, at its June 23, 2022
Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various
factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that they,
their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. Among other things, the information and factors considered included
the following:
•
| Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;
|
•
| Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;
|
•
| The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and
certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net
assets;
|
•
| Terms of the Management Agreement;
|
•
| Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Fund;
|

| Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;
|
•
| Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;
|
•
| Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;
|
•
| Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services;

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the
renewal of the Management Agreement.
Nature, extent and quality of
services provided by the Investment Manager
The Board analyzed various
reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager, as well as its history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of its personnel.
The Board specifically considered
the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The
Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2022 initiatives in this regard. The Board
also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into account the
information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate compensation
to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions in services
provided. The Board also considered added personnel and resources obtained by Columbia Threadneedle through Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of BMO Financial Group’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa
(EMEA) asset management business.
In connection with the
Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment
Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the Management
Agreement, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of the Investment
Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.
In addition, the Board discussed
the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement, noting that no changes were proposed from the form of agreement previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance services
provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.
After reviewing these and related
factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the
Management Agreement supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Investment performance
In this connection, the Board
carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various
periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s
performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by
Broadridge.
The Board also reviewed a
description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.
The Board also considered the
Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund and
the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships
with the Fund
The Board reviewed comparative
fees and the costs of services provided under the Management Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other things,
data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the Fund’s
contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.
The Board considered the reports of
JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a primary
objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain
exceptions) are generally in line with the current "pricing philosophy" such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper comparison
universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.
After reviewing these and related
factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the
Management Agreement.
The Board also considered the
profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its
affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board considered
that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety of factors,
including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing or distributing
the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that the fees paid by the
Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these and related factors, the
Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund supported
the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the
potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale
were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading,
compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit
from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed. The Board observed that the Management
Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other
means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.
Conclusion
The Board reviewed all of the
above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.

Hedged Index is an unmanaged index that is comprised of several other Bloomberg indexes that measure fixed income performance of regions around the world while hedging the currency back to the US dollar.
The MSCI ACWI (Net) is a free
float-adjusted market capitalization index that is designed to measure equity market performance in the global developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI (Net) captures large, mid, small and micro cap
representation across 23 developed markets countries and large, mid and small cap representation across 23 emerging markets countries.
The MSCI ACWI (Net) Hedged to DM
Currencies Index represents a close estimation of the performance that can be achieved by hedging the currency exposures of all developed market exposures of its parent index, the MSCI ACWI, to the USD, the
“home” currency for the hedged index. The index is 100% hedged to the USD of developed market currencies by selling each foreign currency forward at the one-month Forward weight. The parent index is
composed of large and mid cap stocks across 23 Developed Markets (DM) countries and 24 Emerging Markets (EM) countries.
The FTSE Three-Month U.S. Treasury
Bill Index is an unmanaged index that represents the performance of three-month Treasury bills and reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices.

(a) Percentages are based upon net
assets. The percentages do not equal 100% due to the effects of leverage within the Fund’s portfolio. Leverage exists when the Fund purchases or sells an instrument or enters into a transaction without investing
cash in an amount equal to the full economic exposure of the instrument or transaction. The Fund’s portfolio composition and its market exposure are subject to change. Inflation-Hedging Assets may include, but
are not limited to, direct or indirect investments in commodity-related investments, including certain types of commodities-linked derivatives and notes, and U.S. and non-U.S. inflation-linked bonds. Interest Rate
Assets generally include fixed-income securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. governments. Spread Assets generally include any other fixed-income securities.

Understanding Your Fund’s
Expenses
(Unaudited)
As an investor, you incur two types
of costs. There are shareholder transaction costs, which generally include sales charges on purchases and may include redemption fees. There are also ongoing fund costs, which generally include management fees,
distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. The following information is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these costs with
the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Analyzing your Fund’s
expenses
To illustrate these ongoing
costs, we have provided examples and calculated the expenses paid by investors in each share class of the Fund during the period. The actual and hypothetical information in the table is based on an initial investment
of $1,000 at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period. Expense information is calculated two ways and each method provides you with different information. The amount listed in the
“Actual” column is calculated using the Fund’s actual operating expenses and total return for the period. You may use the Actual information, together with the amount invested, to estimate the
expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the results by the expenses paid during the period under
the “Actual” column. The amount listed in the “Hypothetical” column assumes a 5% annual rate of return before expenses (which is not the Fund’s actual return) and then applies the
Fund’s actual expense ratio for the period to the hypothetical return. You should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate either your actual account balance at the end of the period or
the expenses you paid during the period. See “Compare with other funds” below for details on how to use the hypothetical data.
Compare with other funds
Since all mutual funds are
required to include the same hypothetical calculations about expenses in shareholder reports, you can use this information to compare the ongoing cost of investing in the Fund with other funds. To do so, compare the
hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. As you compare hypothetical examples of other funds, it is important to note that hypothetical examples are
meant to highlight the ongoing costs of investing in a fund only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges, or redemption or exchange fees. Therefore, the hypothetical calculations are useful in
comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included in these calculations, your costs would be higher.

Expenses paid during the period
are equal to the annualized expense ratio for each class as indicated above, multiplied by the average account value over the period and then multiplied by the number of days in the Fund’s most recent fiscal
half year and divided by 365.
Expenses do not include fees and
expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund from its investment in underlying funds, including affiliated and non-affiliated pooled investment vehicles, such as mutual funds and exchange-traded funds.

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

Fair value measurements
The Fund categorizes its fair
value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by prioritizing that the most observable input be used when available.
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing an investment based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the
Fund’s assumptions about the information market participants would use in pricing an investment. An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is
deemed significant to the asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investments at that level. For example,
certain U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid, however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market.
Fair value inputs are summarized in
the three broad levels listed below:
■
| Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.
|
■
| Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).
|
■
| Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions and judgment in determining the 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 level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered
by the Investment Manager, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement 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.
Certain investments that have been
measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to reconcile the fair
value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Portfolio of Investments. The Columbia Solutions Portfolios serve as investment vehicles for the Columbia Adaptive Retirement Funds and each pursues consistent total
returns by seeking to allocate risks across multiple asset classes. Investments in the Columbia Solutions Portfolios may be redeemed on a daily basis without restriction.
Investments falling into the Level 3
category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency
and corroboration to support these 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 Investment Manager. 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 company data.
The Fund’s Board of Trustees
(the Board) has designated the Investment Manager, through its Valuation Committee (the Committee), as valuation designee, responsible for determining the fair value of the assets of the Fund for which market
quotations are not readily available using valuation procedures approved by the Board. The Committee consists of voting and non-voting members from various groups within the Investment Manager’s organization,
including operations and accounting, trading and investments, compliance, risk management and legal.
The Committee meets at least monthly
to review and approve valuation matters, which may include a description of specific valuation determinations, data regarding pricing information received from approved pricing vendors and brokers and the results of
Board-approved valuation policies and procedures (the Policies). The Policies address, among other things, instances when market quotations are or are not readily available, including recommendations of third party
pricing vendors and a determination of appropriate pricing methodologies; events that require specific valuation determinations and assessment of fair value techniques; securities with a potential for stale pricing,
including those that are illiquid, restricted, or in default; and the effectiveness of third party pricing vendors, including periodic reviews of vendors. The Committee meets more frequently, as needed, to discuss
additional valuation matters, which may include the need to review back-testing results, review time-sensitive information or approve related valuation actions. Representatives of Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC report to the Board at each of its regularly scheduled meetings to discuss valuation matters and actions during the period, similar to those described earlier.

The following table is intended to
help you understand the Fund’s financial performance. Certain information reflects financial results for a single share of a class held for the periods shown. Per share net investment income (loss) amounts are
calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period. Total return assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions, if any. Total return does not reflect payment of sales charges, if any. Total
return and portfolio turnover are not annualized for periods of less than one year. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated without regard to purchase and sales transactions of short-term instruments and certain
derivatives, if any. If such transactions were included, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be higher.

number of shares (without par value). The Fund offers each of the share classes listed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Although all share classes generally have identical voting, dividend and liquidation
rights, each share class votes separately when required by the Trust’s organizational documents or by law. Each share class has its own expense and sales charge structure. Different share classes may have
different minimum initial investment amounts and pay different net investment income distribution amounts to the extent the expenses of distributing such share classes vary. Distributions to shareholders in a
liquidation will be proportional to the net asset value of each share class.
As described in the Fund’s
prospectus, Class A and Class C shares are offered to the general public for investment. Class C shares automatically convert to Class A shares after 8 years. Advisor Class, Institutional Class, Institutional 2 Class,
Institutional 3 Class and Class R shares are available for purchase through authorized investment professionals to omnibus retirement plans or to institutional investors and to certain other investors as also
described in the Fund’s prospectus.
Note 2. Summary of
significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Fund is an investment company
that applies the accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies (ASC 946). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Security valuation
Equity securities listed on an
exchange are valued at the closing price or last trade price on their primary exchange at the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange. Securities with a closing price not readily available or not listed on
any exchange are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices. Listed preferred stocks convertible into common stocks are valued using an evaluated price from a pricing service.
Debt securities generally are
valued based on prices obtained from pricing services, which are intended to reflect market transactions for normal, institutional-size trading units of similar securities. The services may use various pricing
techniques that take into account, as applicable, factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as approved independent broker-dealer quotes.
Debt securities for which quotations are not readily available or not believed to be reflective of market value may also be valued based upon a bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities
maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management believes does not approximate fair value.

Asset- and mortgage-backed
securities are generally valued by pricing services, which utilize pricing models that incorporate the securities’ cash flow and loan performance data. These models also take into account available market data,
including trades, market quotations, and benchmark yield curves for identical or similar securities. Factors used to identify similar securities may include, but are not limited to, issuer, collateral type, vintage,
prepayment speeds, collateral performance, credit ratings, credit enhancement and expected life. Asset-backed securities for which quotations are readily available may also be valued based upon an over-the-counter or
exchange bid quote from an approved independent broker-dealer. Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued primarily at amortized market value, unless this method results in a valuation that management
believes does not approximate fair value.
Investments in the Underlying Funds
(other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs)), are valued at the latest net asset value reported by those companies as of the valuation time.
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts are marked-to-market based upon foreign currency exchange rates provided by a pricing service.
Futures and options on futures
contracts are valued based upon the settlement price at the close of regular trading on their principal exchanges or, in the absence of a settlement price, at the mean of the latest quoted bid and ask prices.
Swap transactions are valued
through an independent pricing service or broker, or if neither is available, through an internal model based upon observable inputs.
Investments for which market
quotations are not readily available, or that have quotations which management believes are not reflective of market value or reliable, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by
the Board of Trustees. If a security or class of securities (such as foreign securities) is valued at fair value, such value is likely to be different from the quoted or published price for the security, if
available.
The determination of fair value
often requires significant judgment. To determine fair value, management may use assumptions including but not limited to future cash flows and estimated risk premiums. Multiple inputs from various sources may be used
to determine fair value.
GAAP requires disclosure regarding
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value and any changes in valuation inputs or techniques. In addition, investments shall be disclosed by major category. This information is disclosed following
the Fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Foreign currency transactions and
translations
The values of all assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are generally translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates determined at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Net realized and unrealized gains
(losses) on foreign currency transactions and translations include gains (losses) arising from the fluctuation in exchange rates between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, gains (losses) arising
from the disposition of foreign currency and currency gains (losses) between the accrual and payment dates on dividends, interest income and foreign withholding taxes.
For financial statement purposes,
the Fund does not distinguish that portion of gains (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 (losses) on investments in the Statement of Operations.
Derivative instruments
The Fund invests in certain
derivative instruments, as detailed below, in seeking to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives are instruments whose values depend on, or are derived from, in whole or in part, the value of one or more
securities, currencies, commodities, indices, or other assets or instruments. Derivatives may be used to increase investment flexibility (including to maintain cash reserves while maintaining desired exposure to
certain assets), for risk management (hedging) purposes, to facilitate trading, to reduce transaction costs and to pursue higher investment returns. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to mitigate certain
investment risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and credit risk. Derivatives may involve various risks, including the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its
Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund | Semiannual Report 2022

|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
obligations under the terms of the contract, the
potential for an illiquid secondary market (making it difficult for the Fund to sell or terminate, including at favorable prices) and the potential for market movements which may expose the Fund to gains or losses in
excess of the amount shown in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The notional amounts of derivative instruments, if applicable, are not recorded in the financial statements.
A derivative instrument may suffer
a marked-to-market loss if the value of the contract decreases due to an unfavorable change in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument. Losses can also occur if the counterparty does not perform its
obligations under the contract. The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on over-the-counter derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by
the Fund and the amount of any variation margin held by the counterparty, plus any replacement costs or related amounts. With exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives, there is reduced counterparty credit risk
to the Fund since the clearinghouse or central counterparty (CCP) provides some protection in the case of clearing member default. The clearinghouse or CCP stands between the buyer and the seller of the contract;
therefore, failure of the clearinghouse or CCP may pose additional counterparty credit risk. However, credit risk still exists in exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives with respect to initial and variation
margin that is held in a broker’s customer account. While clearing brokers are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a clearing broker becomes insolvent or goes into
bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the clearing broker for all its clients and such shortfall is remedied by the CCP or otherwise, U.S. bankruptcy laws will
typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the clearing broker’s customers (including the Fund), potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
In order to better define its
contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (ISDA Master Agreement)
or similar agreement with its derivatives counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is an agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts
and contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of a default and/or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset
with the counterparty certain derivative instruments’ payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of the ISDA Master Agreement typically
permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting), including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. Note, however, that bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may
impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset or netting in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
Collateral (margin) requirements
differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the clearinghouse or CCP for exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivatives. Brokers can ask for margin in excess of the minimum in certain
circumstances. Collateral terms for most over-the-counter derivatives are subject to regulatory requirements to exchange variation margin with trading counterparties and may have contract specific margin terms as
well. For over-the-counter derivatives traded under an ISDA Master Agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the marked-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and
comparing that amount to the value of any variation margin currently pledged by the Fund and/or the counterparty. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party has to exceed a minimum transfer amount
threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from
counterparty nonperformance. The Fund may also pay interest expense on cash collateral received from the broker. Any interest expense paid by the Fund is shown in the Statement of Operations. The Fund attempts to
mitigate counterparty risk by only entering into agreements with counterparties that it believes have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those
counterparties.
Certain ISDA Master Agreements
allow counterparties of over-the-counter derivatives transactions to terminate derivatives contracts prior to maturity in the event the Fund’s net asset value declines by a stated percentage over a specified
time period or if the Fund fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty. The Fund also has termination
rights if the counterparty fails to meet certain terms of the ISDA Master Agreement. In determining whether to exercise such termination rights, the Fund would consider, in addition to counterparty credit risk,
whether termination would result in a net liability owed from the counterparty.
For financial reporting purposes,
the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts
Forward foreign currency exchange
contracts are over-the-counter agreements between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The Fund utilized forward foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge the currency exposure
associated with some or all of the Fund’s securities, to shift foreign currency exposure back to U.S. dollars, to shift U.S. dollar exposure to achieve a representative weighted mix of major currencies in its
benchmark and to generate total return through long and short positions versus the U.S. dollar. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods.
The values of forward foreign
currency exchange contracts fluctuate daily with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Changes in the value of these contracts are recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation until the contract is
exercised or has expired. The Fund will realize a gain or loss when the forward foreign currency exchange contract is closed or expires. Non-deliverable forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled with the
counterparty in U.S. dollars without delivery of foreign currency.
The use of forward foreign currency
exchange contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The risks of forward foreign currency exchange contracts include movement in the values of the foreign
currencies relative to the U.S. dollar (or other foreign currencies) and the possibility that counterparties will not complete their contractual obligations, which may be in excess of the amount reflected, if any, in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are
exchange-traded and represent commitments for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date. The Fund bought and sold futures contracts to manage the duration and yield curve
exposure of the Fund versus the benchmark, to manage exposure to movements in interest rates and to maintain appropriate equity market exposure while keeping sufficient cash to accommodate daily redemptions. These
instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Upon entering into futures contracts, the Fund bears risks that it may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a
loss. Additional risks include counterparty credit risk, the possibility of an illiquid market, and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
asset.
Upon entering into a futures
contract, the Fund deposits cash or securities with the broker, known as a futures commission merchant (FCM), in an amount sufficient to meet the initial margin requirement. The initial margin deposit must be
maintained at an established level over the life of the contract. Cash deposited as initial margin is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. Securities deposited as initial margin are
designated in the Portfolio of Investments. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily change in the contract value and are
recorded as variation margin receivable or payable and are offset in unrealized gains or losses. The Fund generally expects to earn interest income on its margin deposits. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss
when the contract is closed or expires. Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the variation margin disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are negotiated in
the over-the-counter market and are entered into bilaterally or centrally cleared (centrally cleared swap contract). In a centrally cleared swap contract, immediately following execution of the swap contract with a
broker, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the CCP) and the CCP becomes the Fund’s counterparty to the centrally cleared swap contract. The Fund is required to deposit initial margin with
the futures commission merchant (FCM), which pledges it through to the CCP in the form of cash or securities in an amount that varies depending on the size and risk profile of the particular swap contract. Securities
deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is recorded in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as margin deposits. For a bilateral swap contract, the Fund has
credit exposure to the broker, but exchanges daily variation margin with the broker based on the mark-to-market value of the swap contract to minimize that exposure. For centrally cleared swap contracts, the Fund has
minimal credit exposure to the FCM because the CCP stands between the Fund and the relevant buyer/seller on the other side of the contract. Swap contracts are marked-to-market daily and changes in value are recorded
as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). The daily change in valuation of swap contracts, if any, is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Entering into these contracts
involves, to varying degrees, elements of interest, liquidity and counterparty credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there
may be unfavorable changes in interest rates, market conditions or other conditions, that it may be difficult to initiate a swap transaction or liquidate a position at an advantageous time or price which may result in
significant losses, and that the bilateral counterparty, FCM, or CCP, as applicable, may not fulfill its obligation under the contract.
Credit default swap contracts
The Fund entered into credit
default swap contracts to increase or decrease its credit exposure to an index and to manage credit risk exposure. These instruments may be used for other purposes in future periods. Credit default swap contracts are
transactions in which one party pays fixed periodic payments to a counterparty in consideration for an agreement from the counterparty to make a specific payment should a specified credit event(s) take place. Although
specified credit events are contract specific, credit events are typically bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration, obligation default, or repudiation/moratorium.
As the purchaser of a credit
default swap contract, the Fund purchases protection by paying a periodic interest rate on the notional amount to the counterparty. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) and is recorded as a realized loss upon payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract occurs, the Fund may have the option either to deliver the reference obligation to the seller in exchange
for a cash payment of its par amount, or to receive a net cash settlement equal to the par amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the
value of the obligation or cash delivered and the notional amount received will be recorded as a realized gain (loss).
As the seller of a credit default
swap contract, the Fund sells protection to a buyer and will generally receive a periodic interest rate on a notional amount. The interest amount is accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation
(depreciation) and is recorded as a realized gain upon receipt of the payment. If a credit event as specified in the contract with the counterparty occurs, the Fund may either be required to accept the reference
obligation from the buyer in exchange for a cash payment of its notional amount, or to pay the buyer a net cash settlement equal to the notional amount less an agreed-upon value of the reference obligation (recovery
value) as of the date of the credit event. The difference between the value of the obligation or cash received and the notional amount paid will be recorded as a realized gain (loss). The maximum potential amount of
undiscounted future payments the Fund could be required to make as the seller of protection under a credit default swap contract is equal to the notional amount of the reference obligation. These potential amounts may
be partially offset by any recovery values of the respective reference obligations or upfront receipts upon entering into the agreement. The notional amounts and market values of all credit default swap contracts in
which the Fund is the seller of protection, if any, are disclosed in the Credit Default Swap Contracts Outstanding schedule following the Portfolio of Investments.
As a protection seller, the Fund
bears the risk of loss from the credit events specified in the contract with the counterparty. For credit default swap contracts on credit indices, quoted market prices and resulting market values serve as an
indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the reference entity’s
credit soundness and a greater likelihood or risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the contract.
Any upfront payment or receipt by
the Fund upon entering into a credit default swap contract is recorded as an asset or liability, respectively, and amortized daily as a component of realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations. Credit default
swap contracts are valued daily, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the termination of the swap, at which time a realized gain (loss) is recorded.
Credit default swap contracts can
involve greater risks than if a fund had invested in the reference obligation directly since, in addition to general market risks, credit default swaps are subject to counterparty credit risk, leverage risk, hedging
risk, correlation risk and liquidity risk.

Asset- and mortgage-backed
securities
The Fund may invest in asset-backed
and mortgage-backed securities. The maturity dates shown represent the original maturity of the underlying obligation. Actual maturity may vary based upon prepayment activity on these obligations. All, or a portion,
of the obligation may be prepaid at any time because the underlying asset may be prepaid. As a result, decreasing market interest rates could result in an increased level of prepayment. An increased prepayment rate
will have the effect of shortening the maturity of the security. Unless otherwise noted, the coupon rates presented are fixed rates.
Delayed delivery securities
The Fund may trade securities on
other than normal settlement terms, including securities purchased or sold on a “when-issued” or "forward commitment" basis. This may increase risk to the Fund since the other party to the transaction may
fail to deliver, which could cause the Fund to subsequently invest at less advantageous prices. The Fund designates cash or liquid securities in an amount equal to the delayed delivery commitment.

To be announced securities
The Fund may trade securities on a
To Be Announced (TBA) basis. As with other delayed-delivery transactions, a seller agrees to issue a TBA security at a future date. However, the seller does not specify the particular securities to be delivered.
Instead, the Fund agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms.
In some cases, Master Securities
Forward Transaction Agreements (MSFTAs) may be used to govern transactions of certain forward-settling agency mortgage-backed securities, such as delayed-delivery and TBAs, between the Fund and counterparty. The MSFTA
maintains provisions for, among other things, initiation and confirmation, payment and transfer, events of default, termination, and maintenance of collateral relating to such transactions.
Treasury inflation protected
securities
The Fund may invest in treasury
inflation protected securities (TIPS). The principal amount of TIPS is adjusted periodically and is increased for inflation or decreased for deflation based on a monthly published index. These adjustments are recorded
as interest income in the Statement of Operations. Coupon payments are based on the adjusted principal at the time the interest is paid.

Security transactions
Security transactions are accounted
for on the trade date. Cost is determined and gains (losses) are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.
Income recognition
Interest income is recorded on an
accrual basis. Market premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized and accreted, respectively, over the expected life of the security on all debt securities, unless otherwise noted. The
Fund classifies gains and losses realized on prepayments received on mortgage-backed securities as adjustments to interest income.
The Fund may place a debt security
on non-accrual status and reduce related interest income when it becomes probable that the interest will not be collected and the amount of uncollectible interest can be reasonably estimated. The Fund may also adjust
accrual rates when it becomes probable the full interest will not be collected and a partial payment will be received. A defaulted debt security is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest
payments or when collectability of interest is reasonably assured.

Corporate actions and dividend
income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Fund may receive distributions
from holdings in equity securities, business development companies (BDCs), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), limited partnerships (LPs), other regulated investment companies (RICs), and real estate investment trusts
(REITs), which report information as to the tax character of their distributions annually. These distributions are allocated to dividend income, capital gain and return of capital based on actual information reported.
Return of capital is recorded as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities, return of capital is recorded as a realized gain. With respect to REITs, to the
extent actual information has not yet been reported, estimates for return of capital are made by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise
Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial). The Investment Manager’s estimates are subsequently adjusted when the actual character of the distributions is disclosed by the REITs, which could result in a
proportionate change in return of capital to shareholders.
Awards from class action litigation
are recorded as a reduction of cost basis if the Fund still owns the applicable securities on the payment date. If the Fund no longer owns the applicable securities on the payment date, the proceeds are recorded as
realized gains.
Income and capital gain
distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Expenses
General expenses of the Trust are
allocated to the Fund and other funds of the Trust based upon relative net assets or other expense allocation methodologies determined by the nature of the expense. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are
charged to the Fund. Expenses directly attributable to a specific class of shares are charged to that share class.
Determination of class net asset
value
All income, expenses (other than
class-specific expenses, which are charged to that share class, as shown in the Statement of Operations) and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are allocated to each class of the Fund on a daily basis, based on
the relative net assets of each class, for purposes of determining the net asset value of each class.
Federal income tax status
The Fund intends to qualify each
year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and will distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, for its
tax year, and as such will not be subject to federal income taxes. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute in each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income, capital gain net income and certain other
amounts, if any, such that the Fund should not be subject to federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Foreign taxes
The Fund may be subject to foreign
taxes on income, gains on investments or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Fund will accrue such taxes and recoveries, as applicable, based upon its current interpretation of tax rules
and regulations that exist in the markets in which it invests.
Realized gains in certain countries
may be subject to foreign taxes at the Fund level, based on statutory rates. The Fund accrues for such foreign taxes on realized and unrealized gains at the appropriate rate for each jurisdiction, as applicable. The
amount, if any, is disclosed as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions from net investment
income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal
income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s
organizational documents and, in some cases, by contract, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust or its funds. In addition,
certain of the Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims
that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined, and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Recent accounting pronouncement
Tailored Shareholder Reports
In October 2022, the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs); Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form
amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured
data format. The rule amendments will require that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments will become effective
January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.
Note 3. Fees and other
transactions with affiliates
Management services fees
The Fund has entered into a
Management Agreement with Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager). Under the Management Agreement, the Investment Manager provides the Fund with investment research and advice, as well as
administrative and accounting services. The management services fee is an annual fee that is a blend of (i) a fee that declines from 0.06% to 0.03%, depending on asset levels, on assets invested in affiliated mutual
funds, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds that pay a management fee (or advisory fee, as applicable) to the Investment Manager, (ii) a fee that declines from 0.16% to 0.13%, depending on asset levels, on
assets invested in exchange-traded funds and mutual funds that are not managed by the Investment Manager or its affiliates and (iii) a fee that declines from 0.76% to 0.63%, depending on asset levels, on assets
invested in securities, instruments and other assets not described above, including affiliated mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds advised by the Investment Manager that do not pay a management
fee, third party closed-end funds, derivatives and individual securities. The annualized effective management services fee rate for the six months ended November 30, 2022 was 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily
net assets.
In addition to the fees and
expenses which the Fund bears directly, the Fund indirectly bears a pro rata share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds (also referred to as "acquired funds") in which the Fund invests. Because the
Underlying Funds have varied expense and fee levels and the Fund may own different proportions of Underlying Funds at different times, the amount of fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund will vary.
Compensation of board members
Members of the Board of Trustees
who are not officers or employees of the Investment Manager or Ameriprise Financial are compensated for their services to the Fund as disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Deferred Plan), these members of the Board of Trustees may elect to defer payment of up to 100% of their compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of
certain funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Fund’s liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes and remains in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Deferred Plan. All
amounts payable under the Deferred Plan constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Fund. The expense for the Deferred Plan, which includes Trustees’ fees deferred during the current period as well as any
gains or losses on the Trustees’ deferred compensation balances as a result of market fluctuations, is included in "Compensation of board members" in the Statement of Operations.

Compensation of Chief Compliance
Officer
The Board of Trustees has appointed
a Chief Compliance Officer for the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. As disclosed in the Statement of Operations, a portion of the Chief Compliance Officer’s total compensation is allocated
to the Fund, along with other allocations to affiliated registered investment companies managed by the Investment Manager and its affiliates, based on relative net assets.
Transfer agency fees
Under a Transfer and Dividend
Disbursing Agent Agreement, Columbia Management Investment Services Corp. (the Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, is responsible for
providing transfer agency services to the Fund. The Transfer Agent has contracted with SS&C GIDS, Inc. (SS&C GIDS) to serve as sub-transfer agent. Prior to January 1, 2023, SS&C GIDS was known as DST Asset
Manager Solutions, Inc. The Transfer Agent pays the fees of SS&C GIDS for services as sub-transfer agent and SS&C GIDS is not entitled to reimbursement for such fees from the Fund (with the exception of
out-of-pocket fees).
The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a
monthly transfer agency fee based on the number or the average value of accounts, depending on the type of account. In addition, the Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee for shareholder services based on the number of
accounts or on a percentage of the average aggregate value of the Fund’s shares maintained in omnibus accounts up to the lesser of the amount charged by the financial intermediary or a cap established by the
Board of Trustees from time to time.
The Transfer Agent also receives
compensation from the Fund for various shareholder services and reimbursements for certain out-of-pocket fees. Total transfer agency fees for Institutional 2 Class and Institutional 3 Class shares are subject to an
annual limitation of not more than 0.07% and 0.02%, respectively, of the average daily net assets attributable to each share class.
For the six months ended November
30, 2022, the Fund’s annualized effective transfer agency fee rates as a percentage of average daily net assets of each class were as follows:
| Effective rate (%)
|
Class A
| 0.05
|
Advisor Class
| 0.05
|
Class C
| 0.05
|
Institutional Class
| 0.05
|
Institutional 2 Class
| 0.06
|
Institutional 3 Class
| 0.02
|
Class R
| 0.05
|
An annual minimum account balance
fee of $20 may apply to certain accounts with a value below the applicable share class’s initial minimum investment requirements to reduce the impact of small accounts on transfer agency fees. These minimum
account balance fees are remitted to the Fund and recorded as part of expense reductions in the Statement of Operations. For the six months ended November 30, 2022, these minimum account balance fees reduced total
expenses of the Fund by $40.
Distribution and service fees
The Fund has entered into an
agreement with Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Investment Manager and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, for distribution and shareholder
services. The Board of Trustees has approved, and the Fund has adopted, distribution and shareholder service plans (the Plans) applicable to certain share classes, which set the distribution and service fees for the
Fund. These fees are calculated daily and are intended to compensate the Distributor and/or eligible selling and/or servicing agents for selling shares of the Fund and providing services to investors.
34
| Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly service fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A and Class C shares of the Fund. Also under the Plans, the Fund pays a
monthly distribution fee to the Distributor at the maximum annual rates of 0.10%, 0.75% and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class R shares of the Fund,
respectively.
Although the Fund may pay
distribution and service fees up to a maximum annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares (comprised of up to 0.10% for distribution services and up to 0.25% for
shareholder services), the Fund currently limits such fees to an aggregate fee of not more than 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.
Sales charges
Sales charges, including front-end
charges and contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs), received by the Distributor for distributing Fund shares for the six months ended November 30, 2022, if any, are listed below:
| Front End (%)

purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
|
(b)
| This charge applies to redemptions within 12 months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
|
The Fund’s other share
classes are not subject to sales charges.
Expenses waived/reimbursed by the
Investment Manager and its affiliates
The Investment Manager and certain
of its affiliates have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses described below) for the period(s) disclosed below, unless sooner terminated at the sole
discretion of the Board of Trustees, so that the Fund’s net operating expenses, including indirect expenses of the Underlying Funds, after giving effect to fees waived/expenses reimbursed and any balance credits
and/or overdraft charges from the Fund’s custodian, do not exceed the following annual rate(s) as a percentage of the classes’ average daily net assets:

Under the agreement governing
these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement arrangements, the following fees and expenses are excluded from the waiver/reimbursement commitment, and therefore will be paid by the Fund, if applicable: taxes
(including foreign transaction taxes), transaction costs and brokerage commissions, costs related to any securities lending program, dividend expenses associated with securities sold short, inverse floater program
fees and expenses, transaction charges and interest on borrowed money, interest, costs associated with shareholder meetings, infrequent and/or unusual expenses and any other expenses the exclusion of which is
specifically approved by the Board of Trustees. This agreement may be modified or amended only with approval from the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates and the Fund. Any fees waived and/or expenses
reimbursed under the expense reimbursement arrangements described above are not recoverable by the Investment Manager or its affiliates in future periods.

Note 4. Federal tax
information
The timing and character of
income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP because of temporary or permanent book to tax differences.
At November 30, 2022, the
approximate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes and the aggregate gross approximate unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on that cost was:
Federal
tax cost ($)
| Gross unrealized
appreciation ($)
| Gross unrealized

| (446,932,000)
| (397,925,000)
|
Tax cost of investments and
unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) may also include timing differences that do not constitute adjustments to tax basis.
Under current tax rules, regulated
investment companies can elect to treat certain late-year ordinary losses incurred and post-October capital losses (capital losses realized after October 31) as arising on the first day of the following taxable year.
The Fund will elect to treat the following late-year ordinary losses and post-October capital losses at May 31, 2022 as arising on June 1, 2022.

Management of the Fund has
concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions in the Fund that would require recognition in the financial statements. However, management’s conclusion may be subject to review and adjustment at
a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations (including relevant court decisions). Generally, the Fund’s federal tax returns for the
prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
Note 5. Portfolio
information
The cost of purchases and
proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments and derivatives, if any, aggregated to $1,810,104,991 and $1,983,120,790, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2022, of which
$1,671,760,758 and $1,855,512,111, respectively, were U.S. government securities. The amount of purchase and sale activity impacts the portfolio turnover rate reported in the Financial Highlights.
Note 6. Affiliated money
market fund
The Fund invests significantly in
Columbia Short-Term Cash Fund, an affiliated money market fund established for the exclusive use by the Fund and other affiliated funds (the Affiliated MMF). The income earned by the Fund from such investments is
included as Dividends - affiliated issuers in the Statement of Operations. As an investing fund, the Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the Affiliated MMF. The Affiliated MMF prices its
shares with a floating net asset value. In addition, the Board of Trustees of the Affiliated MMF may impose a fee on redemptions (sometimes referred to as a liquidity fee) or temporarily suspend redemptions
(sometimes referred to as imposing a redemption gate) in the event its liquidity falls below regulatory limits.
Note 7. Interfund
lending
Pursuant to an exemptive order
granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund participates in a program (the Interfund Program) allowing each participating Columbia Fund (each, a Participating Fund) to lend money directly to and,
except for closed-end funds and money market funds, borrow money directly from other Participating Funds for temporary purposes. The amounts eligible for borrowing and lending under the Interfund Program are subject
to certain restrictions.
36
| Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Interfund loans are subject to the
risk that the borrowing fund could be unable to repay the loan when due, and a delay in repayment to the lending fund could result in lost opportunities and/or additional lending costs. The exemptive order is subject
to conditions intended to mitigate conflicts of interest arising from the Investment Manager’s relationship with each Participating Fund.
The Fund’s activity in the
Interfund Program during the six months ended November 30, 2022 was as follows:

The Fund had no outstanding
interfund loans at November 30, 2022.
Note 8. Line of credit
The Fund has access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. whereby the Fund may borrow for the temporary funding of shareholder redemptions or for
other temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to an October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the credit facility, which is an agreement between the Fund and certain other funds managed by the Investment Manager
or an affiliated investment manager, severally and not jointly, permits aggregate borrowings up to $950 million. Interest is currently charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the
higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.10% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus in each case, 1.00%. Each borrowing under the credit facility
matures no later than 60 days after the date of borrowing. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata share of the unused amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.15% per annum. The commitment fee
is included in other expenses in the Statement of Operations. This agreement expires annually in October unless extended or renewed. Prior to the October 27, 2022 amendment and restatement, the Fund had access to a
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. which permitted collective borrowings up to $950 million. Interest was charged to each
participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate equal to the higher of (i) the federal funds effective rate, (ii) the secured overnight financing rate plus 0.11448% and (iii) the overnight bank funding rate, plus
in each case, 1.00%.
The Fund had no borrowings during
the six months ended November 30, 2022.
Note 9. Significant
risks
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the
value of debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio may decline because the issuer defaults or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling, or is perceived to be unable or unwilling, to honor its financial obligations,
such as making payments to the Fund when due. Credit rating agencies assign credit ratings to certain debt instruments to indicate their credit risk. Lower-rated or unrated debt instruments held by the Fund may
present increased credit risk as compared to higher-rated debt instruments.
Derivatives risk
Losses involving derivative
instruments may be substantial, because a relatively small movement in the underlying reference (which is generally the price, rate or other economic indicator associated with a security(ies), commodity, currency,
index or other instrument or asset) may result in a substantial loss for the Fund. In addition to the potential for increased losses, the use of derivative instruments may lead to increased volatility within the Fund.
Derivatives will typically increase the Fund’s exposure to principal risks to which it is otherwise exposed, and may expose the Fund to additional risks, including correlation risk, counterparty risk, hedging
risk, leverage risk, liquidity risk and pricing risk.
Foreign currency risk
The performance of the Fund may be
materially affected positively or negatively by foreign currency strength or weakness relative to the U.S. dollar, particularly if the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other
assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Currency rates in foreign countries may fluctuate significantly
Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
| 37
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
over short or long periods of time for a number of
reasons, including changes in interest rates, imposition of currency controls and economic or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. The Fund may also incur currency conversion costs when converting foreign
currencies into U.S. dollars and vice versa.
Foreign securities and emerging
market countries risk
Investing in foreign securities may
involve heightened risks relative to investments in U.S. securities. Investing in foreign securities subjects the Fund to the risks associated with the issuer’s country of organization and places of business
operations, including risks associated with political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events occurring in the country or region, which may result in significant market volatility. In
addition, certain foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than U.S. securities. Investing in emerging markets may increase these risks and expose the Fund to elevated risks associated with increased
inflation, deflation or currency devaluation. To the extent that the Fund concentrates its investment exposure to any one or a few specific countries, the Fund will be particularly susceptible to the risks associated
with the conditions, events or other factors impacting those countries or regions and may, therefore, have a greater risk than that of a fund that is more geographically diversified. The financial information and
disclosure made available by issuers of emerging market securities may be considerably less reliable than publicly available information about other foreign securities. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board,
which regulates auditors of U.S. public companies, is unable to inspect audit work papers in certain foreign countries. Investors in foreign countries often have limited rights and few practical remedies to pursue
shareholder claims, including class actions or fraud claims, and the ability of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice and other authorities to bring and enforce actions against
foreign issuers or foreign persons is limited.
Geographic focus risk
The Fund may be particularly
susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting issuers and countries within the specific geographic regions in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s net
asset value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund.
Europe. The Fund is particularly susceptible to risks related to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions, including acts of war or other conflicts in the region, affecting
issuers and countries in Europe. Countries in Europe are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one European country can have an adverse impact on, and potentially spread to, other European
countries. In addition, whether in the public or private sector, significant debt problems of a single European Union (EU) country can pose economic risks to the EU as a whole. As a result, the Fund’s net asset
value may be more volatile than the net asset value of a more geographically diversified fund. If securities of issuers in Europe fall out of favor, it may cause the Fund to underperform other funds that do not focus
their investments in this region of the world. The departure of the United Kingdom (UK) from the EU single market became effective January 1, 2021 with the end of the Brexit transition period and the post-Brexit trade
deal between the UK and EU taking effect on December 31, 2020. The impact of Brexit on the UK and European economies and the broader global economy could be significant, resulting in negative impacts on currency and
financial markets generally, such as increased volatility and illiquidity, and potentially lower economic growth in markets in Europe, which may adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk of
losses attributable to changes in interest rates. In general, if prevailing interest rates rise, the values of debt instruments tend to fall, and if interest rates fall, the values of debt instruments tend to rise.
Actions by governments and central banking authorities can result in increases or decreases in interest rates. Higher periods of inflation could lead such authorities to raise interest rates. Increasing interest rates
may negatively affect the value of debt securities held by the Fund, resulting in a negative impact on the Fund’s performance and net asset value per share. In general, the longer the maturity or duration of a
debt security, the greater its sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The Fund is subject to the risk that the income generated by its investments may not keep pace with inflation.
Leverage risk
Leverage occurs when the Fund
increases its assets available for investment using borrowings, short sales, derivatives, or similar instruments or techniques. The use of leverage may produce volatility and may exaggerate changes in the Fund’s
NAV and in the return on the Fund’s portfolio, which may increase the risk that the Fund will lose more than it has invested.
38
| Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund | Semiannual Report 2022
|
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
Because short sales involve borrowing securities
and then selling them, the Fund’s short sales effectively leverage the Fund’s assets. The Fund’s assets that are used as collateral to secure the Fund’s obligations to return the securities
sold short may decrease in value while the short positions are outstanding, which may force the Fund to use its other assets to increase the collateral. Leverage can create an interest expense that may lower the
Fund’s overall returns. Leverage presents the opportunity for increased net income and capital gains, but may also exaggerate the Fund’s volatility and risk of loss. There can be no guarantee that a
leveraging strategy will be successful.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk
associated with a lack of marketability of investments which may make it difficult to sell the investment at a desirable time or price. Changing regulatory, market or other conditions or environments (for example, the
interest rate or credit environments) may adversely affect the liquidity of the Fund’s investments. The Fund may have to accept a lower selling price for the holding, sell other investments, or forego another,
more appealing investment opportunity. Generally, the less liquid the market at the time the Fund sells a portfolio investment, the greater the risk of loss or decline of value to the Fund. A less liquid market can
lead to an increase in Fund redemptions, which may negatively impact Fund performance and net asset value per share, including, for example, if the Fund is forced to sell securities in a down market.
Market risk
The Fund may incur losses due to
declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or
social developments affecting the relevant market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers,
which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and
financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. These risks may
be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events
such as terrorism, war, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions, depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a
significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.
The large-scale invasion of Ukraine
by Russia in February 2022 has resulted in sanctions and market disruptions, including declines in regional and global stock markets, unusual volatility in global commodity markets and significant devaluations of
Russian currency. The extent and duration of the military action are impossible to predict but could be significant. Market disruption caused by the Russian military action, and any counter-measures or responses
thereto (including international sanctions, a downgrade in the country’s credit rating, purchasing and financing restrictions, boycotts, tariffs, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences, cyberattacks and
espionage) could have severe adverse impacts on regional and/or global securities and commodities markets, including markets for oil and natural gas. These impacts may include reduced market liquidity, distress in
credit markets, further disruption of global supply chains, increased risk of inflation, and limited access to investments in certain international markets and/or issuers. These developments and other related events
could negatively impact Fund performance.
The pandemic caused by coronavirus
disease 2019 and its variants (COVID-19) has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant global economic and societal disruption and market volatility due to disruptions in market access, resource
availability, facilities operations, imposition of tariffs, export controls and supply chain disruption, among others. Such disruptions may be caused, or exacerbated by, quarantines and travel restrictions, workforce
displacement and loss in human and other resources. The uncertainty surrounding the magnitude, duration, reach, costs and effects of the global pandemic, as well as actions that have been or could be taken by
governmental authorities or other third parties, present unknowns that are yet to unfold. The impacts, as well as the uncertainty over impacts to come, of COVID-19 – and any other infectious illness outbreaks,
epidemics and pandemics that may arise in the future – could negatively affect global economies and markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illness outbreaks
and epidemics in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems, governments and financial markets. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate
other pre-existing

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
November 30, 2022 (Unaudited)
political, social and economic risks in certain
countries or globally. The disruptions caused by COVID-19 could prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its
investment objective. Any such events could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund.
Money market fund investment risk
An investment in a money market
fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by any bank, the FDIC or any other government agency. Certain money market funds float their net asset value while others seek to preserve the value of
investments at a stable net asset value (typically, $1.00 per share). An investment in a money market fund, even an investment in a fund seeking to maintain a stable net asset value per share, is not guaranteed and it
is possible for the Fund to lose money by investing in these and other types of money market funds. If the liquidity of a money market fund’s portfolio deteriorates below certain levels, the money market fund
may suspend redemptions (i.e., impose a redemption gate) and thereby prevent the Fund from selling its investment in the money market fund or impose a fee of up to 2% on amounts the Fund redeems from the money market
fund (i.e., impose a liquidity fee). These measures may result in an investment loss or prohibit the Fund from redeeming shares when the Investment Manager would otherwise redeem shares. In addition to the fees and
expenses that the Fund directly bears, the Fund indirectly bears the fees and expenses of any money market funds in which it invests, including affiliated money market funds. By investing in a money market fund, the
Fund will be exposed to the investment risks of the money market fund in direct proportion to such investment. To the extent the Fund invests in instruments such as derivatives, the Fund may hold investments,
which may be significant, in money market fund shares to cover its obligations resulting from the Fund’s investments in such instruments. Money market funds and the securities they invest in are subject to
comprehensive regulations. The enactment of new legislation or regulations, as well as changes in interpretation and enforcement of current laws, may affect the manner of operation, performance and/or yield of money
market funds.
Shareholder concentration risk
At November 30, 2022, affiliated
shareholders of record owned 84.3% of the outstanding shares of the Fund in one or more accounts. Subscription and redemption activity by concentrated accounts may have a significant effect on the operations of the
Fund. In the case of a large redemption, the Fund may be forced to sell investments at inopportune times, including its liquid positions, which may result in Fund losses and the Fund holding a higher percentage of
less liquid positions. Large redemptions could result in decreased economies of scale and increased operating expenses for non-redeeming Fund shareholders.
Note 10. Subsequent
events
Management has evaluated the
events and transactions that have occurred through the date the financial statements were issued and noted no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
Note 11. Information
regarding pending and settled legal proceedings
Ameriprise Financial and certain
of its affiliates are involved in the normal course of business in legal proceedings which include regulatory inquiries, arbitration and litigation, including class actions concerning matters arising in connection
with the conduct of its activities as a diversified financial services firm. Ameriprise Financial believes that the Fund is not currently the subject of, and that neither Ameriprise Financial nor any of its affiliates
are the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under
their contracts with the Fund. Ameriprise Financial is required to make quarterly (10-Q), annual (10-K) and, as necessary, 8-K filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on legal and regulatory matters
that relate to Ameriprise Financial and its affiliates. Copies of these filings may be obtained by accessing the SEC website at www.sec.gov.
There can be no assurance that
these matters, or the adverse publicity associated with them, will not result in increased Fund redemptions, reduced sale of Fund shares or other adverse consequences to the Fund. Further, although we believe
proceedings are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or the ability of Ameriprise Financial or its affiliates to perform under their contracts with the Fund, these proceedings are subject to
uncertainties and, as such, we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss that may result. An adverse outcome in one or more of these proceedings could

result in adverse judgments, settlements, fines,

the Fund.

Approval of Management
Agreement
(Unaudited)
Columbia Management Investment
Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager, and together with its domestic and global affiliates, Columbia Threadneedle Investments), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (Ameriprise Financial), serves
as the investment manager to Columbia Adaptive Risk Allocation Fund (the Fund). Under a management agreement (the Management Agreement), the Investment Manager provides investment advice and other services to the Fund
and other funds distributed by Columbia Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (collectively, the Funds).
On an annual basis, the
Fund’s Board of Trustees (the Board), including the independent Board members (the Independent Trustees), considers renewal of the Management Agreement. The Investment Manager prepared detailed reports for
the Board and its Contracts Committee (including its Contracts Subcommittee) in November 2021 and March, April and June 2022, including reports providing the results of analyses performed by an independent third-party
data provider, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (Broadridge), and comprehensive responses to written requests for information by independent legal counsels to the Independent Trustees (Independent Legal Counsel)
to the Investment Manager, to assist the Board in making this determination. In addition, throughout the year, the Board (or its committees or subcommittees) regularly meets with portfolio management teams and
senior management personnel and reviews information prepared by the Investment Manager addressing the services the Investment Manager provides and Fund performance. The Board also accords appropriate weight to
the work, deliberations and conclusions of the various committees, such as the Contracts Committee, the Investment Review Committee, the Audit Committee and the Compliance Committee in determining whether to continue
the Management Agreement.
The Board, at its June 23, 2022
Board meeting (the June Meeting), considered the renewal of the Management Agreement for an additional one-year term. At the June Meeting, Independent Legal Counsel reviewed with the Independent Trustees various
factors relevant to the Board’s consideration of advisory agreements and the Board’s legal responsibilities related to such consideration. The Independent Trustees considered all information that
they, their legal counsel or the Investment Manager believed reasonably necessary to evaluate and to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. Among other things, the information and factors
considered included the following:
•
| Information on the investment performance of the Fund relative to the performance of a group of mutual funds determined to be comparable to the Fund by Broadridge, as well as performance relative to benchmarks;
|
•
| Information on the Fund’s management fees and total expenses, including information comparing the Fund’s expenses to those of a group of comparable mutual funds, as determined by Broadridge;
|
•
| The Investment Manager’s agreement to contractually limit or cap total operating expenses for the Fund so that total operating expenses (excluding certain fees and expenses, such as transaction costs and
certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) would not exceed a specified annual rate, as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets;
|
•
| Terms of the Management Agreement;
|
•
| Descriptions of other agreements and arrangements with affiliates of the Investment Manager relating to the operations of the Fund, including agreements with respect to the provision of transfer agency and
shareholder services to the Fund;
|
•
| Descriptions of various services performed by the Investment Manager under the Management Agreement, including portfolio management and portfolio trading practices;
|
•
| Information regarding any recently negotiated management fees of similarly-managed portfolios of other institutional clients of the Investment Manager;
|
•
| Information regarding the resources of the Investment Manager, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel;
|
•
| Information regarding the capabilities of the Investment Manager with respect to compliance monitoring services;
|
•
| The profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships with the Fund; and

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Following an analysis and discussion of the foregoing, and the factors identified below, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the
renewal of the Management Agreement.
Nature, extent and quality of
services provided by the Investment Manager
The Board analyzed various
reports and presentations it had received detailing the services performed by the Investment Manager, as well as its history, expertise, resources and relative capabilities, and the qualifications of its personnel.
The Board specifically considered
the many developments during recent years concerning the services provided by the Investment Manager. Among other things, the Board noted the organization and depth of the equity and credit research departments. The
Board further observed the enhancements to the investment risk management department’s processes, systems and oversight, over the past several years, as well as planned 2022 initiatives in this regard. The
Board also took into account the broad scope of services provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund, including, among other services, investment, risk and compliance oversight. The Board also took into
account the information it received concerning the Investment Manager’s ability to attract and retain key portfolio management personnel and that it has sufficient resources to provide competitive and adequate
compensation to investment personnel. The Board also observed that the Investment Manager has been able to effectively manage, operate and distribute the Funds through the COVID-19 pandemic period with no disruptions
in services provided. The Board also considered added personnel and resources obtained by Columbia Threadneedle through Ameriprise Financial’s acquisition of BMO Financial Group’s Europe, Middle East, and
Africa (EMEA) asset management business.
In connection with the
Board’s evaluation of the overall package of services provided by the Investment Manager, the Board also considered the nature, quality and range of administrative services provided to the Fund by the Investment
Manager, as well as the achievements in 2021 in the performance of administrative services, and noted the various enhancements anticipated for 2022. In evaluating the quality of services provided under the
Management Agreement, the Board also took into account the organization and strength of the Fund’s and its service providers’ compliance programs. The Board also reviewed the financial condition of
the Investment Manager and its affiliates and each entity’s ability to carry out its responsibilities under the Management Agreement and the Fund’s other service agreements.
In addition, the Board discussed
the acceptability of the terms of the Management Agreement, noting that no changes were proposed from the form of agreement previously approved. The Board also noted the wide array of legal and compliance
services provided to the Fund under the Management Agreement.
After reviewing these and related
factors (including investment performance as discussed below), the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the
Management Agreement supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Investment performance
In this connection, the Board
carefully reviewed the investment performance of the Fund, including detailed reports providing the results of analyses performed by each of the Investment Manager, Broadridge and JDL collectively showing, for various
periods (including since manager inception): (i) the performance of the Fund, (ii) the performance of a benchmark index, (iii) the percentage ranking of the Fund among its comparison group, (iv) the Fund’s
performance relative to peers and benchmarks and (v) the net assets of the Fund. The Board observed that the Fund’s performance for certain periods ranked above median based on information provided by
Broadridge.
The Board also reviewed a
description of the third-party data provider’s methodology for identifying the Fund’s peer groups for purposes of performance and expense comparisons.
The Board also considered the
Investment Manager’s performance and reputation generally. After reviewing these and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the performance of the Fund
and the Investment Manager, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.

Approval of Management Agreement (continued)
(Unaudited)
Comparative fees, costs of services provided and the profits realized by the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their relationships
with the Fund
The Board reviewed comparative
fees and the costs of services provided under the Management Agreement. The Board members considered detailed comparative information set forth in an annual report on fees and expenses, including, among other
things, data (based on analyses conducted by Broadridge and JDL) showing a comparison of the Fund’s expenses with median expenses paid by funds in its comparative peer universe, as well as data showing the
Fund’s contribution to the Investment Manager’s profitability.
The Board considered the reports of
JDL, which assisted in the Board’s analysis of the Funds’ performance and expenses and the reasonableness of the Funds’ fee rates. The Board accorded particular weight to the notion that a
primary objective of the level of fees is to achieve a rational pricing model applied consistently across the various product lines in the Fund family, while assuring that the overall fees for each Fund (with certain
exceptions) are generally in line with the current “pricing philosophy” such that Fund total expense ratios, in general, approximate or are lower than the median expense ratios of funds in the same Lipper
comparison universe. The Board took into account that the Fund’s total expense ratio (after considering proposed expense caps/waivers) approximated the peer universe’s median expense ratio.
After reviewing these and related
factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the levels of management fees and expenses of the Fund, in light of other considerations, supported the continuation of the
Management Agreement.
The Board also considered the
profitability of the Investment Manager and its affiliates in connection with the Investment Manager providing management services to the Fund. With respect to the profitability of the Investment Manager and its
affiliates, the Independent Trustees referred to information discussing the profitability to the Investment Manager and Ameriprise Financial from managing, operating and distributing the Funds. The Board
considered that in 2021 the Board had considered 2020 profitability and that the 2022 information showed that the profitability generated by the Investment Manager in 2021 increased from 2020 levels, due to a variety
of factors, including the increased assets under management of the Funds. It also took into account the indirect economic benefits flowing to the Investment Manager or its affiliates in connection with managing
or distributing the Funds, such as the enhanced ability to offer various other financial products to Ameriprise Financial customers, soft dollar benefits and overall reputational advantages. The Board noted that
the fees paid by the Fund should permit the Investment Manager to offer competitive compensation to its personnel, make necessary investments in its business and earn an appropriate profit. After reviewing these
and related factors, the Board concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions, that the costs of services provided and the profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from their
relationships with the Fund supported the continuation of the Management Agreement.
Economies of scale
The Board considered the
potential existence of economies of scale in the provision by the Investment Manager of services to the Fund, to groups of related funds and to the Investment Manager as a whole, and whether those economies of scale
were shared with the Fund through breakpoints in investment management fees or other means, such as expense limitation arrangements and additional investments by the Investment Manager in investment, trading,
compliance and other resources. The Board considered the economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s net asset level grows and took note of the extent to which Fund shareholders might also benefit
from such growth. In this regard, the Board took into account that management fees decline as Fund assets exceed various breakpoints, all of which have not been surpassed.The Board observed that the Management
Agreement provided for breakpoints in the management fee rate schedule that allow opportunities for shareholders to realize lower fees as Fund assets grow and that there are additional opportunities through other
means for sharing economies of scale with shareholders.
Conclusion
The Board reviewed all of the
above considerations in reaching its decision to approve the continuation of the Management Agreement. In reaching its conclusions, no single factor was determinative.
