Important disclosures for performance and asset information on page 1:
There is no guarantee the objective will be achieved or that any return expectations will be met.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Periods over one year are annualized. Portfolios are valued and composite returns are calculated and stated in U.S. dollars. Returns are calculated net of transaction costs and non-reclaimable withholding taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains, and
reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. Composite performance is based on the Columbia High Yield Fixed Income composite. Net-of-fees performance returns are calculated by deducting from the gross performance return the highest tier
of the fee schedule in effect for the respective time period. Actual fees may vary depending on, among other things, the applicable fee schedule and portfolio size.
Not all vehicles are available in every jurisdiction and certain vehicles may be offered by affiliates.

supplemental information is designed to provide the proper context in which to better understand the composite presentation. Risk/return characteristics are based on gross of fees performance of the Columbia High Quality High Yield Fixed Income
composite and are annualized as appropriate. All other information is based on a representative account in the composite. Risk and relative value ratings reflect the Team’s internal, proprietary ratings system. Our internal risk rating system is as follows:
Risk 1 indicates an issue that we believe has solid fundamentals and a stable or improving outlook. Risk 2 indicates a credit that we believe to have an adequate financial condition. Risk 3 indicates an issue that may have deterioration in credit quality or
experience volatility in credit quality in the near future, and Risk 4 indicates an issue that we believe has weak or deteriorating financial condition. Our internal relative value rating system indicates our performance expectations for the credit vs. the index
over the next 12 months as follows: 1 = strong outperform (150%), 2 = outperform (110-150%), 3 = market perform (90-110%), 4 = underperform (50-90%), 5= sell (

The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Cash Pay BB-B Rated Constrained Index is an unmanaged index of high yield bonds. The index is subject to a 2% cap on allocation to any one issuer. The 2% cap is intended to provide broad diversification and
better reflect the overall character of the high yield market. The index reflects reinvestment of all distributions and changes in market prices. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be achieved or that return expectations will be met. Care should be used when comparing these results to those published by other investment advisers, other investment vehicles, and unmanaged
indices due to possible differences in calculation methods. Registration with the SEC as an investment adviser does not imply a certain level of skill or training.
Columbia Threadneedle Investments is the global brand name of the Columbia and Threadneedle group of companies.
