Columbia Management managed assets consist of assets under the discretionary management of Columbia Management Advisors, LLC ($292.9 billion) and Columbia Wanger Asset Management, L.P. ($27.3 billion), SEC registered investment advisors and indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Bank of America Corporation.
