Absent these waivers, or reimbursement arrangements, performance results may be lower. View a list of funds for which the investment advisor or its affiliates has agreed to reimburse or waive a portion of the fund expenses. Unless a specific end date is provided, the waiver or reimbursement may be revised or discontinued at any time.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

With the exception of the Acorn funds and Columbia Thermostat Fund, the returns for a newer class of shares for periods prior to its inception include: a) the performance of the newer class of shares since its inception, and b) the performance of the oldest existing fund class of shares from its inception up to the date the newer class was offered for sale. The performance of the oldest existing fund class shares used in the computation of the newer class is not restated to reflect any expense differential between the oldest existing fund class and the newer class. For most of the funds, the oldest existing fund class used in the performance computations of the newer class is represented by class A; had the expense differential been reflected, the returns for the periods prior to inception of the newer class would have been lower. However, for those funds where classes A and B began at the inception of the fund, the oldest existing fund class used in the performance computations of the newer class is represented by class B, as its expense structure more closely resembles that of the newer class.
With respect to Columbia Intermediate Bond Fund, performance before 7/31/00 for class A shares represents that of the current class Z shares, which is the oldest existing share class. Performance before 2/11/02 for class B and class C shares represents that of the current class A shares, as its expense structure more closely resembles that of class B and class C shares.
