Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
| 1. ORGANIZATION |
The Commerce Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act” or “1940 Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of nine portfolios. The Growth Fund, Value Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, MidCap Value Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund (each, individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Each of the Funds offers one class of shares (the “Shares”). Each Fund is classified as a diversified open-end management investment company, except the Growth Fund, which is classified as non-diversified under the Act.
The Funds have entered into an Advisory Agreement with Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Commerce”), a subsidiary of Commerce Bank.
| 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
A. Investment Valuation — Each Fund’s investments are valued based on market value, or where market quotations or pricing service prices are not readily available, based on fair value calculated according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. A Fund may also fair value price if the value of a security it holds has been materially affected by significant events occurring before the Fund’s pricing time but after the close of the primary markets or exchanges on which the security is traded.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income is comprised of interest income and dividend income. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date with realized gains and losses on sales calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT. For treasury inflation indexed securities, adjustments to principal due to inflation/deflation are reflected as increases/decreases to interest income with a corresponding adjustment to cost. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collect-ability of interest is probable.
For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as gains or losses.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s average net assets and are accrued daily.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax.
60
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
| 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| Income Distribution | Capital Gains Distribution | |||||||
| Fund | Declared | Paid | Declared | Paid | ||||
| Value and MidCap Value |
Quarterly | Quarterly | Annually | Annually | ||||
| Growth and MidCap Growth |
Annually | Annually | Annually | Annually | ||||
| Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond |
Daily | Monthly | Annually | Annually | ||||
Net capital losses, if any, are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from distributable earnings or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent U.S. GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.
E. Segment Reporting — The Funds have adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 — Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The update is limited to disclosure requirements and does not impact the Funds’ financial position or results of their operations. Each Fund represents a single operating segment. The Adviser’s Investment Review Committee acts as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation with respect to the Funds. The CODM monitors each Fund’s operating results as a whole, and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on a defined investment strategy. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds’ financial statements.
| 3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
U.S. GAAP defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price); the Funds’ policy is to use the market approach. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls shall be determined on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
61
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
| 3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).
Commerce is subject to the Trust’s Board of Trustees oversight and certain reporting and other requirements, which are intended to provide the Trust’s Board of Trustees with the information needed to oversee Commerce’s fair value determinations. The Trust’s Board of Trustees has approved valuation procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Board of Trustees has designated Commerce as the “valuation designee” to make all necessary determinations of fair value for portfolio investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Commerce has established a valuation committee (“Valuation Committee”) to undertake the day-to-day responsibility for implementing, performing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, the Valuation Committee regularly performs price verifications and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system, or those located on certain foreign exchanges, including but not limited to the Americas, are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or such price is believed by the Adviser to not represent fair value, equity securities may be valued at the closing bid price. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price, and are generally classified as Level 2. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are generally classified as Level 2. Certain equity securities containing unique attributes may be classified as Level 2.
Underlying Funds (including Money Market Funds) — Underlying Funds (“Underlying Funds”) include other investment companies in which the Funds may invest. Investments in the Underlying Funds are valued at the NAV per share on the day of valuation. Because the Funds may invest in Underlying Funds that fluctuate in value, the Funds’ shares will correspondingly fluctuate in value. To the extent these investments have a readily determinable fair value, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. For information regarding an Underlying Fund’s accounting policies and investment holdings, please see the Underlying Fund’s shareholder report.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of
quotations furnished by an independent pricing service or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider yield or price with respect to comparable bonds, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value. With the exception of treasury securities of G7 countries, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
62
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
| 3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) |
i. Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets or receivables. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.
Collateralized mortgage-backed securities (“CMOs”) may exhibit even more price volatility and interest rate risk than other mortgage-backed securities. They may lose liquidity as CMO market makers may choose not to repurchase, or may offer prices, based on current market conditions, that are unacceptable to a Fund based on the Adviser’s or Valuation Committee’s analysis of the market value of the security.
ii. Treasury Inflation Indexed Securities — These are treasury securities in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation, as measured by the U.S. Consumer Pricing Index for Urban Consumers. The repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity is guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. The value of U.S. Treasury inflation protected public obligations will generally fluctuate in response to changes in real interest rates, generally decreasing when real interest rates rise and increasing when real interest rates fall. Inflation-protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds because of their inflation adjustment feature. There is no collateral held as of April 30, 2026.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments, except for Government obligations, having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Government obligations maturing in less than 60 days shall be valued at their market price. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 3 are as follows:
To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if Commerce, or the Valuation Committee on its behalf, believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under valuation procedures approved by the Board. Commerce, consistent with the Funds’ procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events that could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buyouts; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

D. Other Agreements — The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses, excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses as calculated pursuant to Form N-1A, for all Funds (except The MidCap Growth Fund) so that after such waivers and/or reimbursements, the maximum total operating expense ratios of the Funds on an annualized basis shall not exceed 1.00%, 0.70%, 0.70%, 0.80%, 0.68%, 0.70%, 0.70% and 0.70% of the average net assets of The Growth, Value, MidCap Value, Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds, respectively.

Commerce and GSAM have reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three fiscal years) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Such open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
| 7. OTHER RISKS |
| |
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Credit Risk — The Bond Fund, The Short-Term Government Fund, The National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, The Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and The Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund (together, the “Fixed Income Funds”), are subject to credit risks because an issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due. A bond’s value could decline because of concerns about an issuer’s ability or willingness to make such payments.
High Yield Risk — The Bond Fund and the National, Missouri and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds are subject to high yield risk. High yield securities are subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk. High yield securities are considered speculative with respect to an issuer’s ability to make principal and interest payments and may be more volatile than higher-rated securities of similar maturity.
Interest Rate Risks — The Fixed Income Funds are subject to interest rate risks. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s portfolio will decline when interest rates rise. The magnitude of this decline will often be greater for longer-term, fixed-income securities than shorter-term securities. A general rise in interest rates has the potential to cause investors to move out of fixed-income securities on a large scale, which may increase redemptions from funds that hold large amounts of fixed-income securities. Heavy redemptions could cause the Funds to sell assets at inopportune time or at a loss or depressed value and could hurt the Funds’ performance. Declines in interest rate levels could cause a Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a negative yield and a decline in the Fund’s share price. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by a Fund.

| 7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Investment Companies Risk — The Funds may invest, consistent with their respective investment objectives and strategies, in securities of other investment companies subject to statutory limitations prescribed by the Act. These limitations include a prohibition on any Fund acquiring more than 3% of the voting shares of any other investment company, and a prohibition on investing more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets in securities of any one investment company or more than 10% of its total assets in securities of all investment companies (except money market funds). The Funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of any management fees and other expenses paid by such other investment companies.
Liquidity Risk — The Fixed Income Funds are subject to liquidity risk. Each Fixed Income Fund may not be able to pay redemption proceeds within the time periods described in the Funds’ prospectus because of unusual market conditions, an unusually high number of redemption requests or other reasons. Liquidity risk may result from the lack of an active market or reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed income securities, and may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or other circumstances where investor redemptions from fixed income mutual funds may be higher than normal, causing increased supply in the market due to selling activity. Certain portfolio securities held by the Fixed Income Funds may periodically experience lower valuations and reduced liquidity, which may adversely affect a Fixed Income Fund’s performance. Certain portfolio securities may be less liquid than others, which may make them difficult or impossible to sell at a time or price that the Fixed Income Fund would like. A Fixed Income Fund may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forgo an investment opportunity. Any of these actions could negatively affect a Fixed Income Fund’s performance.
Market Risk — General economic conditions and/or the activities of individual companies may cause the value of the securities in a Fund to increase or decrease, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Your shares at redemption may be worth more or less than your initial investment. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, adverse changes to credit markets or adverse investor sentiment generally. The value of a security may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.
Credit ratings downgrades may also negatively affect securities held by a Fund. Even when markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a Fund will increase in value along with the broader market. In addition, market risk includes the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt the economy on a national or global level. For instance, local or regional events such as financial institution failures, war, terrorism, supply chain disruptions, trade disputes, economic sanctions, imposition of tariffs, elevated levels of government debt, market manipulation, government defaults, government shutdowns, natural/environmental disasters, the spread of infectious illness (including epidemics or pandemics) or other public health issues, recessions or other events can all negatively impact the securities markets, which could cause the Funds to lose value. Any market disruptions could also prevent a Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely manner. Funds that have focused their investments in a region enduring geopolitical market disruption will face higher risks of loss. Additionally, as a result of increasingly interconnected global economies and financial markets, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by events impacting a country or region. Geopolitical and other risks, including environmental and public health risks, may add instability in the world economy and market generally. Thus, investors should closely monitor current market conditions to determine whether a specific Fund meets their individual financial needs and tolerance for risk.
Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Risk — The Growth, Value, MidCap Growth and MidCap Value Funds are subject to the risks associated with investing in equity securities of mid-cap companies. The MidCap Growth and MidCap Value Funds are also
70
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
| 7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
subject to the risks of investing in small-cap companies. Investing in securities of smaller and mid-sized companies may be riskier than investing in larger, more established companies. Smaller and mid-sized companies are more vulnerable to adverse developments because of more limited product lines, markets or financial resources. Also, these stocks may trade less often and in limited volume compared to larger cap stocks trading on a national securities exchange. The prices of these stocks may be more volatile than the prices of larger company stocks. As a result, a Fund’s NAV may be subject to rapid and substantial changes.
Non-Diversified Risk — The Growth Fund is classified as a non-diversified fund under the Act. Non-diversified funds typically hold fewer securities than diversified funds do. Consequently, the change in value of any one security may affect the overall value of a non-diversified portfolio more than it would a diversified portfolio. In addition, a non-diversified portfolio may be more susceptible to economic, political and regulatory developments than a diversified investment portfolio with similar objectives.
Portfolio Concentration Risk — Under normal conditions, the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investments purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in municipal bonds issued by or on behalf of the states, territories and possessions (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) of the United States, the District of Columbia and their respective authorities, agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions, the income from which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from regular federal income and federal alternative minimum taxes. Alternatively, at least 80% of the Fund’s distributed income must be exempt from such taxes.
Under normal market conditions, The Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and The Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invest at least 80% of their net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in Missouri and Kansas municipal securities, respectively, the income from which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from regular federal income tax, federal alternative minimum taxes and Missouri and Kansas state taxes, respectively. Alternatively, at least 80% of such Fund’s distributed income must be exempt from such taxes. Because the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within Missouri and Kansas, respectively, they are subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic, political or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting those states. For each of the Missouri and Kansas Tax-Free Funds, the actual payment of principal and interest on Missouri and Kansas municipal securities is dependent on the Missouri General Assembly and the Kansas legislature, respectively, allotting money each fiscal year for these payments.
The Growth and MidCap Growth Funds may invest a significant amount of their assets in securities of technology companies. At times, securities of technology companies may experience significant price fluctuations. The Value Fund and MidCap Value Fund’s performance may be adversely affected by events affecting the financial sectors, if it invests a relatively large percentage of its assets in those sectors. The financial sectors can be significantly affected by changes in interest rates, government regulation, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaulted, price competition, and the availability and cost of capital.
The Bond Fund may invest up to 80% of its total assets in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. The Short-Term Government Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities and government mortgage-backed securities and may also purchase other mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities sold by private issuers. Mortgage-backed securities, especially collateralized mortgage-backed securities, may be subject to risks that include price volatility, liquidity, and enhanced sensitivity to interest rates, and greater risk of default during periods of economic downturns than other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to prepayment risk, which may result in a decreased rate of return and a decline in the value of the securities. Asset-backed securities are dependent upon payment of the underlying consumer loans or receivables by individuals, and the certificate holder frequently has no recourse against the entity that originated the loans or receivables. Asset backed securities have a greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other securities. Also, asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other securities and therefore more difficult to value and liquidate, if necessary.

| 7. OTHER RISKS (continued) |
Quantitative Model Risk — The Growth, Value, MidCap Growth and MidCap Value Funds are subject to the risk that securities selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole for many reasons, including the factors used in building the model and the weights placed on each factor, technology malfunctions, or programming flaws, among others. Results generated by such models may be impaired by errors in human judgment, data imprecision, software or other technology system malfunctions. The quantitative models used by the Adviser to manage The Growth, Value, MidCap Growth and MidCap Value Funds may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets.
| 8. INDEMNIFICATIONS |
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, in their experience, Commerce and GSAM believe the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
| 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Commerce and GSAM have concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
Approval of Advisory Agreement for the Growth Fund, Value Fund, MidCap Value Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund (each a “Fund”)
At a meeting held on November 19, 2025 (the “Annual Contract Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the ‘Trustees”) of The Commerce Funds (the “Trust”), including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (the “Independent Trustees”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), voting separately, reviewed and approved the continuance for an additional one-year period the amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust and Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (“Commerce” or the “Adviser”) on behalf of the Growth Fund, Value Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and the advisory agreement between the Trust and Commerce on behalf of the MidCap Value Fund (the “MidCap Value Agreement” and, together with the Amended Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory Agreement”).
Prior to the Annual Contract Meeting, the Board received written materials provided by the Adviser and their independent consultant, Broadridge Financial Services, Inc. (“Broadridge”), relating to the Trustees’ consideration of the Advisory Agreement. During the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees also received and considered the Adviser’s oral presentations and discussed the information that had been provided. In connection with their deliberations, the Independent Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law and met separately in executive session with independent counsel without members of management present.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Adviser and its services and personnel. Both in meetings specifically dedicated to the review of the Advisory Agreement and meetings held during the year, the Trustees reviewed materials relating to the Adviser’s investment management services. Specifically, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, information relating to: (i) the terms of the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Funds’ investment performance over different time periods in comparison to the investment performance of mutual fund peer categories selected by Broadridge, a third-party provider of mutual fund data, as well as performance benchmarks; (iii) the contractual investment advisory fees, the actual investment advisory fees (after expense reimbursements) and the total expenses borne by the Funds in comparison to those borne by mutual fund peer groups selected by Broadridge; (iv) the Adviser’s staffing for the Funds and the experience of the portfolio managers and other investment personnel; (v) the fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates for services, and the expenses incurred by them in connection with the provision of those services; (vi) the basis of determining and allocating costs; (vii) the profitability of the Advisory Agreement to the Adviser, and a comparison of the Adviser’s profitability with publicly reported profitability
75
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
Other Information (continued)
information of other advisers; (viii) information about fees charged to institutional accounts for which an affiliate of the Adviser, Commerce Trust Company (“CTC”), performs services similar to those performed for the Funds; and (ix) potential economies of scale.
In connection with their approval of the Advisory Agreement for each of the Funds, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any single factor as controlling their decision. As part of their review, the Trustees considered the following factors:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services – The Trustees reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, considering each Fund’s investment objectives, strategies and shareholder base and the information received from management throughout the year. They considered the resources available to the Adviser and its key investment personnel and their experience and length of service to the Funds. They took into account the presentations provided by the Adviser’s investment personnel at each Board meeting, which included analyses of Fund operations, holdings and performance and detailed descriptions of the operation of the Funds’ investment philosophy and processes. The Trustees also considered the
Adviser’s compliance record, investment and liquidity risk management programs, effectiveness of oversight over the Funds’ other service providers, communications to and support services for shareholders, adherence to the Funds’ investment policies, execution of portfolio transactions, cybersecurity and business continuity programs, selection of broker dealers and other similar factors.
The Trustees considered that the Adviser had invested significant resources in the Funds and provided capable and experienced portfolio management and compliance staff for the Funds’ operations. They took into account that the Adviser managed the Funds’ assets using a highly disciplined and analytic money management and credit research process and exhibited an ability to attract and retain high quality personnel. The Trustees considered the longevity and stability of the Funds’ portfolio managers serving the Funds and noted that the portfolio managers averaged over thirty years of experience in the portfolio management business. They also considered matters related to the Adviser’s communications, including providing clear and concise reports to the Board and updating the Trustees frequently on Fund compliance and performance issues. In addition, they noted that the Adviser and its affiliates had other client relationships with many of the Funds’ shareholders and provided them with other services through these relationships. In addition, the Trustees took into account the Adviser’s compliance record and compliance oversight of the Funds’ other service providers. Accordingly, the Trustees concluded that the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to each Fund under the Advisory Agreement was appropriate and that the Funds would benefit from the Adviser’s continued service to them.
Performance of the Funds – The Trustees considered the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund, bearing in mind the performance information that they received at the meeting and at various other Board meetings held throughout the year. They reviewed performance in light of the market conditions and each Fund’s investment objectives and strategies, including risk and credit parameters, as applicable. They also considered and discussed the Broadridge report and other information provided during the meeting, which included comparisons of each Fund’s performance with that of its benchmark and with the performance of comparable funds identified by Broadridge, and data on the risk and return measures of each Fund.
The Trustees evaluated the performance of the Growth Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Value Fund, and MidCap Value Fund (the “Equity Funds”) for various periods ended September 30, 2025, including the year-to-date (“YTD”), one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, as applicable. In considering the Equity Funds’ performance, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation of factors impacting performance. Among other things, they considered the following about the Funds’ performance:
| • | The Growth Fund outperformed its Lipper Category for the five- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the YTD, one- and three-year periods, and underperformed its benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for all periods. |
76
THE COMMERCE FUNDS
| • | The MidCap Growth Fund outperformed its Lipper Category for the five- and ten-year periods and underperformed for the YTD, one- and three-year periods, and underperformed its benchmark index, the Russell MidCap Growth Index, for all periods. |
| • | The Value Fund underperformed its Lipper Category and benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for all periods. |
| • | The MidCap Value Fund underperformed its Lipper Category for the YTD and one-year periods and outperformed for the since inception period, and underperformed its benchmark index, the Russell MidCap Value Index, for all periods. The Trustees considered the Fund’s limited performance history due to the Fund’s commencement date of November 13, 2023. |
The Trustees examined the performance of the Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund (the “Fixed Income Funds”) for various periods ended September 30, 2025, as compared to each Fund’s Lipper Category and benchmark index. In considering the benchmark index performance for each of the state-specific Tax-Free Funds, the Board considered that the benchmarks included municipal securities of states other than those in which the state-specific Tax-Free Funds were invested.
In considering the Fixed Income Funds’ performance, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s explanation of factors impacting performance. Among other things, they considered the following about the Funds’ performance:
| • | The Bond Fund outperformed its Lipper Category and benchmark index, the Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index, for all periods except for the YTD. |
| • | The Short-Term Government Fund outperformed its Lipper Category for the YTD and underperformed for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Fund outperformed its benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. 1-5 Year Government Index, for the one-year period and underperformed for the remaining periods. |
| • | The National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund outperformed the Lipper Category for the YTD and one-year periods and underperformed for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg 3-15 Year Blend Index, for all periods. |
| • | The Missouri Tax Free Intermediate Bond Fund underperformed the Lipper Category for the YTD and one-year periods and outperformed for the remaining periods. The Fund underperformed its benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. 3-15 Year Blend Index, for all periods. |
| • | The Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund outperformed the Lipper Category for the YTD and three-year periods, and underperformed for the one-, five- and ten-year periods. The Fund underperformed its benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. 3-15 Year Blend Index, for all periods. |
Fund Fees and Expenses – The Trustees then examined the Funds’ advisory fees and total net operating expenses. They reviewed each Fund’s advisory fees and net operating expenses compared to similar funds as presented in the Broadridge report. They considered that the net advisory fees for each of the Equity Funds was 18 or more basis points below their respective Broadridge peer group average. They also considered that the Bond Fund and Tax-Free Funds had advisory fees that were above their respective Broadridge peer group average, and the Short-Term Government Fund had an advisory fee that was below its Broadridge peer group average. The Trustees also considered that seven of the Funds’ total net operating expenses were at or under their respective Broadridge peer group average and the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund’s and Bond Fund’s total net operating expenses were above their respective Broadridge peer group average. In addition, the Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Funds, the Funds’ share structure, the Adviser’s caps on total operating expenses for each of the Funds (except for the MidCap Growth Fund) and any reimbursements made by the Adviser to maintain those caps.

Other Information (continued)
The Trustees took into account information provided at the meeting that compared the Funds’ advisory fees to advisory fees charged by CTC, the Adviser’s affiliate, to similar institutional accounts managed by CTC personnel. The Trustees considered that these accounts were not managed by the Adviser, but some of the Adviser’s same investment personnel provided advisory services to CTC. In certain instances, the fees charged were lower than the fees charged to the Funds and in other instances the fees were about the same or higher. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser provided significant additional services for the Funds that its affiliate did not provide to non-mutual fund clients, including but not limited to administrative services, regulatory compliance support and testing, Board support, oversight of the Funds’ other service providers, comprehensive risk management monitoring and various other services.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser – The Board examined the Adviser’s cost of providing advisory services on a Fund-by-Fund basis. The Board also examined the Adviser’s profitability on a Trust basis on a pre-marketing and post-marketing basis. The Trustees considered that the Adviser appeared to have a rigorous and consistent program in place to control Fund expenses and noted that the total net/gross expense ratios of all of the Funds, other than the Bond Fund and the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, were at or below their respective Broadridge peer group averages.
They considered the Adviser’s profitability in light of the profitability of other investment advisers’ publicly-reported profitability margins and that Commerce remained within the range of reported profitability margins. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s assumptions and methodology for allocating costs to each Fund. Based on its review of the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the profits realized by the Adviser did not suggest that the Funds’ advisory fees were excessive.
Economies of Scale – The Trustees considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee rate levels reflected these economies of scale for the benefit of shareholders. The Trustees considered that the Funds (other than the Growth Fund and the Value Fund) had breakpoints in their respective advisory fee schedules. They considered Commerce’s discussion of the management fee rate structures and considered the Adviser’s view that the Funds were sharing in economies of scale through the level at which the Funds’ management fee rates are set. They considered that the Adviser was reimbursing expenses to certain of the Funds to keep them within their fee caps. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees determined that each of the Fund’s current management fee rate structure was reasonable.
Fall-Out Benefits – The Trustees further considered that the Adviser benefitted from its relationship with the Funds through, among other things, its contract as a Co-Administrator of the Funds, and the Funds’ contribution to the scale of the Adviser’s advisory business. The Trustees noted that they received regular, quarterly reports on the Adviser’s compliance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. They considered that the Adviser does not currently use soft dollars in connection with trading Fund portfolio securities and had a system in place to test for best execution, which was regularly reviewed by the Board.
Conclusion – The Trustees reviewed and discussed the information that had been submitted to them in connection with the reapproval of the Advisory Agreement. They gave weight to various factors but did not identify any particular factor as controlling their decision. The Trustees considered the Broadridge comparative information with respect to Fund performance, fees and profitability of the Adviser, Fund assets levels, each Fund’s shareholder base and distribution model and Commerce’s relationship with and services to the shareholders. After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Adviser, Fund performance, the Adviser’s costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels as well as the fallout benefits to the Adviser. For these reasons, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement should be reapproved and continued with respect to each Fund.
