2 GENERATE AN APPROPRIATE STREAM OF INCOME Stop chasing yield and start focusing on quality income for tomorrow choose investments with the potential to increase dividends over time and deliver reliable income to help you secure a stable future. Invest in quality, live confidently Quality. Sustainability. Consistency. Do these words come to mind when you imagine your ideal life? After decades of diversified investing, do you envision yourself finally sitting back and enjoying the rewards? The harsh reality is that 24% of today s workers are not at all confident that they will have enough money to live comfortably throughout their retirement years. 1 To achieve your long-term financial goals, even in a challenging market environment like the one we face today, consider investments that reflect the same qualities that define your best life. Quality. Sustainability. Consistency. Look forward the future is what counts Focusing on companies built to generate returns not just in the best of times, but over time, Columbia Dividend Income Fund prioritizes quality and sustainability in an effort to deliver consistent dividend income to its investors. By targeting strong, healthy companies with high cash flow, the fund strives to provide dividend growth and reliable returns. The management team is forward-looking, basing investment decisions on what lies ahead not what happened yesterday. While competitors are busy chasing yield, the Columbia Dividend Income Fund team is busy discovering investment opportunities to grow and protect your wealth over the long term EBRI Retirement Confidence Survey. Employee Benefit Research Institute (ERBI).

3 TARGETING A SWEET SPOT IN DIVIDENDS TO GROW YOUR WEALTH Columbia Dividend Income Fund invests in what the managers believe to be attractively valued companies with strong and growing free cash flow. 2 The goal is to increase dividends and provide consistent yields and capital appreciation producing potentially stronger riskadjusted performance and sustainable income for you over time. The following attributes empower the fund to achieve these objectives: Scott L. Davis Senior Portfolio Manager Investment experience since 1980 Free cash flow as the source of dividend increases. Dividend-paying stocks have historically posted strong results with lower volatility than the broader equity market. History also shows that companies with higher levels of free cash flow and quality earnings offer the potential for dividend growth and superior relative returns even more than the highest yielding stocks on the market. Tenured team with a differentiated valuation approach. Averaging more than 25 years of investment experience, the team s well-established process focuses on dividend growth opportunities. Using free cash flow analytics (such as free cash flow yield 3 ) rather than traditional value metrics (like price-to-earnings ratio 4 ) empowers the team to better identify companies that can sustain dividend distributions and support dividend growth. Michael S. Barclay, CFA Senior Portfolio Manager Investment experience since 1991 Downside protection benefits. In general, the income produced by dividend-paying stocks intrinsically provides a degree of downside protection when the market trends lower. Because of the fund s focus on financially strong companies, the high-quality dividend-paying stocks in which it invests may be less susceptible to market downturns. The fund s investment approach may help to mitigate risk to your portfolio despite uncertainty in the market. Peter C. Santoro, CFA Senior Portfolio Manager Investment experience since 1996 Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. 2 Free cash flow is the amount of cash generated after capital expenditures, which can be used to reinvest in the business, reduce debt, acquire other businesses or pay and increase dividends. 3 Free cash flow yield (FCF/price): A measure of the market s expectations of a company s future financial health, calculating the price of a stock divided by its cash flow per share. 4 Price-earnings ratio (P/E): The price of a share of stock divided by its reported earnings for a 12-month period. It is an indicator of how much investors are willing to pay for an opportunity to share in a firm s future earnings potential. This brochure is updated annually and must be accompanied by the most recent fund story or fund fact sheet. There is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved or that any particular investment will be profitable.

4 FOCUS ON HIGH-QUALITY COMPANIES, NOT YIELD Columbia Dividend Income Fund seeks to invest in high-quality, attractively valued companies with growing free cash flow. Our priority is to help provide you with income through greater return potential while protecting you against downside risk by: Concentrating on free cash flow. The fund focuses on free cash flow yield, rather than traditional valuation methods, to identify attractively valued securities and forecast a company s potential dividend actions. The team believes cash flow analysis is a more reliable indicator of a company s true profitability from business activities. Focusing on quality. The fund managers look for stocks of high-quality companies with strong, defensible business models and strong balance sheets both of which are critical to providing downside protection, especially in times of stress. Their target companies have high barriers to entry within their respective industries and a history of long-term, sustainable profitability and cash flow from operations. Seeking stewards of capital. These companies often have a history of above-average dividend growth, which in the team s view is a sign of strong capital discipline. Companies with capital discipline are more likely to thrive long term and generate strong, riskadjusted performance over time. Sustainable dividend growers lead in performance Stocks of companies with growing free cash flow and rising dividends have historically provided solid returns with lower volatility.

Data is updated annually. Past performance does not guarantee future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The S&P 500 Equal Weight Index (S&P 500 EWI): The index is the equal-weight version of the widely regarded S&P 500. It has the same constituents as the capitalization weighted S&P 500 Index, but each company in the S&P 500 EWI is allocated a fixed weight. Geometric average: Also called the time-weighted rate of return, is a measure of the compounded rate of growth of the initial market value during the evaluation period, assuming that all cash distributions are reinvested in the portfolio. Standard deviation (R squared): A statistical measure of volatility. It indicates the risk associated with a return series. Standard deviation also measures a fund s performance correlated to a standard index. By definition, the market beta and R squared are A beta above 1 is more volatile than the overall market, while a beta below 1 is less volatile.

5 SATISFYING YOUR INCOME NEEDS WITH STABILITY AND CONSISTENCY By investing in cash-rich companies with strong free cash flow and the ability to pay dividends, Columbia Dividend Income Fund may provide you with these potential benefits: Sustainable and growing income. Dividend stocks not only generate income for investors, they also have the potential to grow that income. A combination of historically low dividend payout ratios and high corporate cash levels suggests financially strong companies trading at attractive valuations are in a solid position to increase their dividends over time. To improve your chance at long-term success, those are the companies the fund targets. Dividends to counteract volatility. Dividends play an important role in the health of an equity portfolio. Historically, dividend-paying stocks in the fund have held up better than non-dividend-paying stocks and may provide a cushion against losses in challenging markets. Such financially strong companies are likely to generate higher total returns and experience lower volatility than the overall market. The goal is for you to capture returns not just in up markets, but in all markets. Increase dividends over time and generate capital appreciation Over the last decade, Columbia Dividend Income Fund Class A has been a strong total return solution, nearly doubling the share price NAV and more than doubling its income distribution per share. $20 $15 $10 $ $0.50 $0.40 $0.30 $ Long-term wealth accumulation. Since chasing higher yield can often hinder performance rather than enhance it, the seasoned investment team focuses on dividend growth, rather than yield alone. Understanding the direction of cash flow helps the fund managers identify companies that not only sustain but can increase future dividends. This approach positions the portfolio to help you build wealth during both the accumulation and distribution stages of your life, putting you one step closer to living your best life. $5 $0 $ Share price (NAV) $0.20 $0.10 $ $0.00 Dividend distribution Source: Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC as of 12/31/15.

The fund may own Treasury inflation protected securities (TIPS) or other inflation indexed securities. If so, the yield will reflect an inflation adjustment that is attributable to these securities.

For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Morningstar Rating is for Class A shares without sales charges only; other classes may have different performance characteristics and may have different ratings. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average for the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.
