President’s Letter
Dear Shareholders:
On behalf of the Carillon Family of Funds, we would like to thank you for your continued support and confidence in our products as we look forward to continuing to serve you and your financial professional in the future. The semiannual report of the Carillon Family of Funds for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, follows.
The second quarter of this year brought some relief from the primary concerns that were weighing on the financial markets in the early months of 2023. The challenges experienced by a few banks did not emerge into an industrywide crisis. Inflation, even if it still is higher than the U.S. Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) might like, has been trending downwards. The stock market has rallied, but the extraordinary gains seen in the first half of the year have been mostly limited to mega-cap technology stocks.
Looking to the rest of 2023, market participants scrutinize inflation and labor market trends, while constantly assessing and reassessing the likelihood and potential severity of a recession. There is some debate about whether all the recent interest rate hikes will result in a recession or a “soft landing” that slows economic growth without turning it negative. Amid these challenges, your fund family has worked assiduously on your behalf to apply our firm-wide commitment to fundamental research and active risk management to the pursuit of consistent performance across asset classes.
Beneath the surface, our investment management teams continuously analyze dispersion between geographies, market capitalizations, and within individual sectors and industries. U.S. equities again outperformed Europe and Asia while companies with smaller market capitalizations have continued to lag larger companies. After trailing value stocks in 2022, growth stocks surged ahead in all size ranges to start 2023. As always, such shifting market dynamics create long-term opportunities for our teams. With macroeconomic trends in
flux, the rapidly evolving market landscape elevates the need for investors to focus on long-term goals and plans.
We see opportunity for investors abound in any market environment. Still, when conditions are as mixed as they are today, it takes experience, skill and a disciplined approach to identify the investments that can help investors pursue their long-term goals. In an uncertain economic climate, we also believe active managers who conduct careful fundamental research and risk management can make an important difference for investors.
Diversification is always key so that investors can both mitigate risk and remain poised to capitalize on opportunities wherever they emerge. We believe that Carillon’s diverse array of funds, spanning small-cap, mid-cap, large-cap, and international equities, as well as fixed income, can help investors navigate changing conditions and work toward their long-term plans.
As with all investments, investing in any mutual fund carries certain risks. The principal risk factors for each fund are described at the end of this report. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of any fund before you invest. Contact us at 800.421.4184 or rjinvestmentmanagement.com or call your financial professional for a prospectus, or summary prospectus, which contains this and other important information about the Carillon Family of Funds. Read the prospectus, or summary prospectus, carefully before you invest or send money.
We value the trust you have placed in us.
Sincerely,
Susan Walzer
President, Carillon Series Trust

Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
(UNAUDITED)
On February 17, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees (“Board”) recommended and approved, and the Board approved, the appointment of Cohen and Co. (“Cohen”) as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Board made the appointment contingent and effective upon Cohen’s acquisition of BBD LLP (“BBD”), which closed on March 6, 2023, and BBD’s subsequent resignation. On March 13, 2023, BBD resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Carillon Chartwell Income Fund, Carillon Chartwell Mid Cap Value Fund, Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund, Carillon Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund, Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund, and Carillon Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Carillon Series Trust, and Cohen commenced serving as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Funds. The Audit Committee of the Board approved the replacement of BBD as a result of Cohen’s acquisition of BBD’s investment management group.
The reports of BBD on the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements between the registrant and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of the Funds for such years or interim period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
During the Funds’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Funds regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The total value of such securities is $1,187,868 as of June 30, 2023, representing 8.8% of net assets.

These securities, therefore, do not indicate a reference rate and spread.

Note 2 | Significant Accounting Policies | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and, accordingly, follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946—Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. GAAP.
Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.
Valuation of securities | The price of each fund’s share is based on the NAV per share. Each fund normally determines the NAV of its shares each business day as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the Nasdaq (typically 4:00 p.m. ET). A fund will not treat an intraday unscheduled disruption in trading on either the NYSE or Nasdaq as a closure of that particular market and will price its shares as of the normally scheduled close of the NYSE and Nasdaq if the disruption directly affects only one of those markets. If the NYSE or other securities exchange modifies the published closing price of securities traded on that exchange after the NAV is calculated, the Funds are not required to recalculate their NAV.
Generally, portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value; however, a market quotation price may be adjusted to reflect events that occur between the close of those markets and the time of the fund’s determination of the NAV.
A market quotation may be considered unreliable or unavailable for various reasons, such as:
| • | | The quotation may be stale; |
| • | | The security is not actively traded; |
| • | | Trading on the security halted before the close of the trading market; |
| • | | The security is newly issued; |
| • | | Issuer-specific or vendor specific events occurred after the security halted trading; or |
| • | | Due to the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq. |
Issuer-specific events that may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable include:
| • | | A merger or insolvency; |
| • | | Events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters; or |
| • | | Market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. markets. |
For most securities, both the latest transaction prices and adjustments are furnished by independent pricing services, subject to oversight by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”). On August 19, 2022, the Board approved, effective September 1, 2022, the Adviser as the Funds’ valuation designee to be responsible for carrying out pricing and valuation duties in accordance with the Adviser’s Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Adviser performs these duties through a Valuation Committee, comprised of employees of Carillon Tower and/or its wholly-owned affiliates (“Valuation Committee”). The Funds value all other securities and assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable at their fair value determined in good faith.
There can be no assurance, however, that a fair value price used on any given day will more accurately reflect the market value of a security than a market price of such security on that day, as fair valuation determinations may involve subjective judgments made by the Valuation Committee. Fair value pricing may deter shareholders from trading a fund’s shares on a frequent basis in an attempt to take advantage of arbitrage opportunities resulting from potentially stale prices of portfolio holdings. However, it cannot eliminate the possibility of frequent trading. Specific types of securities are valued as follows:
| • | | Domestic exchange-traded equity securities | Market quotations are generally available and reliable for domestic exchange-traded equity securities. If the prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
| • | | Foreign equity securities | If market quotations are available and reliable for foreign exchange-traded equity securities, the securities will be valued at the market quotations. Because trading hours for certain foreign securities end before the close of the NYSE and the Nasdaq, closing market quotations may become unreliable. Consequently, fair valuation of portfolio securities may occur on a daily basis. The Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may fair value a security if certain events occur between the time the trading of a particular security ends in a foreign market and a fund’s NAV calculation. The |

| Valuation Committee, using the Procedures, may also fair value a particular security if the events are significant and make the closing price unavailable or unreliable. If an issuer-specific event has occurred that Carillon Tower determines, in its judgment, is likely to have affected the closing price of a foreign security, it will price the security at fair value. Carillon Tower also utilizes a screening process from a pricing vendor to indicate the degree of certainty, based on historical data, that the closing price in the principal market where a foreign security trades is not the current market value as of the close of the NYSE. Securities and other assets quoted in foreign currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on exchange rates provided by an independent pricing service. The pricing vendor, pricing methodology, or degree of certainty may change from time to time. Fund securities primarily traded on foreign markets may trade on days that are not business days of the Funds. Because the NAV of a fund’s shares is determined only on business days of the fund, the value of the portfolio securities of a fund that invests in foreign securities may change on days when shareholders would not be able to purchase or redeem shares of the fund. |
| • | | Fixed income securities | Government bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed bonds, municipal bonds, medium-term notes, short-term securities (investments that have a maturity date of 60 days or less), and convertible securities, including high yield or junk bonds, normally are valued on the basis of evaluated prices provided by independent pricing services. Evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing services may be determined without exclusive reliance on quoted prices, and may reflect appropriate factors and appropriate methodologies that have been considered by the Board such as institution-size trading in similar groups of securities, developments related to special securities, dividend rate, maturity, and other market data. If the evaluated prices provided by the independent pricing service and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
| • | | Investment companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) | Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their reported NAV. The prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which these companies will use fair value pricing and the effect of the fair value pricing. In addition, investments in closed-end funds and ETFs are valued on the basis of market quotations, if available and reliable. If the prices provided by independent pricing services and independent quoted prices are unavailable or unreliable, the Valuation Committee will fair value the security using the Procedures. |
Fair value measurements | Each fund utilizes a three-level hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements. The three levels are defined as:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets;
Level 2—Valuations based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered active; and
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement, and may include the Valuation Committee’s own assumptions on determining fair value of investments.
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment and the volume and/or level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Valuation Committee, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. A fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the valuation date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy. Investments falling into the Level 3 category may be classified as such due to a lack of market transparency and corroboration to support the quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models may rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable entity data.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each fund’s investments as of June 30, 2023:

At June 30, 2023, the Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses | Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates and are disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Funds record a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims, as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts or premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method.
Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one Fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each Fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each Fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.
Federal Income Taxes | The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized capital gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of distributions and the differences in accounting for net investment income and realized capital gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and realized capital gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the “Income Tax Statement”) requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit or expense to recognize in the financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations.
The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Funds to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Funds’ current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the open periods (generally, three years) the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses.
Distributions to Shareholders | Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and Small Cap Growth Fund make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income Fund, Short Duration High Yield Fund and Short Duration Bond Fund make distributions of net investment income monthly and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Accounting Estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase (decrease) in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Regulatory Changes | In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2020-04, which provides optional guidance to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In March 2021, the administrator for LIBOR announced the extension of the publication of a majority of the USD LIBOR settings to June 30, 2023. Management is continuing to evaluate the potential effect a discontinuation of LIBOR could have on the Funds’ investments and has determined that it is unlikely the ASU’s adoption will have a material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2022-03 (“ASU 2022-03”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)—Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sales Restrictions. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 clarify that a contractual restriction on a sale of an equity security is not considered a part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The amendments in ASU 2022-03 also require the following disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions: (i) the fair value of equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions reflected in the balance sheet, (ii) the nature and remaining duration of the restriction(s), and (iii) the circumstances that could cause a lapse in the restriction(s). The amendments in ASU 2022-03 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities (early adoption is also permitted). Management is currently evaluating the potential effect that this ASU amendment will have on the Funds’ financial statements.
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (The “Commission”) adopted amendments to the requirements for annual and semi-annual shareholder reports provided by mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to highlight key information for investors. The Commission’s final rule amendments will require mutual funds and ETFs that are registered on Form N-1A (“open-end funds” or “funds”) to transmit to shareholders concise and visually engaging annual and semi-annual reports that highlight information that is particularly important for retail shareholders to assess and monitor their fund investments on an ongoing basis. The final rule amendments also facilitate funds’ ability to make electronic versions of their shareholder reports more user-friendly and interactive. In addition, open-end funds will be required to tag the information in their shareholder reports using Inline XBRL structured data language. The new rules will require that funds make available online certain information that may be more relevant to investors and financial professionals who desire more in-depth information. This information also must be delivered free of charge upon request and filed on a semi-annual basis on Form N-CSR. This information includes, for example, a fund’s schedule of investments and other financial statement elements. The final rule amendments include requirements that will help ensure that investors can easily reach and navigate the information that appears online. The Commission adopted amendments to exclude open-end funds from the scope of rule 30e-3, which generally permits certain registered investment companies to satisfy shareholder report transmission requirements by making these reports and other materials available online and providing a notice of the reports’ online availability, instead of directly providing the reports to shareholders. The amendments excluding open-end funds from rule 30e-3 are intended to help ensure that all open-end fund investors will experience the benefits of the new tailored shareholder reports. Open-end fund shareholders will directly receive the new tailored annual and semi-annual reports, either in paper or, if the shareholder has so elected, electronically. These updates are effective January 24, 2023 with an 18-month transition period for funds to comply with the new framework. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these updates on the Funds’ annual and semi-annual shareholder reports.

Notes to Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED) | 06.30.2023
The Funds compensate certain financial intermediaries for providing account maintenance and shareholder services to shareholder accounts held through such intermediaries. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Income Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Short Duration High Yield Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, and Short Duration Bond Fund paid $120,504, $9,411, $58,244, $38,962, $5,882, and $5,044, respectively, to financial intermediaries for such services.

| | | | |
The difference between the cost of investments for financial statement and federal income tax purposes for Income Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, Short Duration High Yield Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, and Short Duration Bond Fund is due to certain timing differences in recognizing capital gains and losses in security transactions under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments to basis on passive foreign investment companies.
As of December 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements
(UNAUDITED) | 06.30.2023
During the year ended December 31, 2022, Income Fund utilized $6,536,398 of capital loss carryforwards to offset current year capital gains.
As of December 31, 2022, the Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Small Cap Value Fund | | | Short Duration High Yield Fund | | | Small Cap Growth Fund | | | Short Duration Bond Fund | |
Short-term capital loss carryforwards | | | $203,412 | | | | $160,311 | | | | $1,939,952 | | | | $10,852 | |

Total | | | $747,636 | | | | $1,323,128 | | | | $1,939,952 | | | | $11,365 | |
These capital loss carryforwards, which do not expire, are available to offset realized capital gains in future years, thereby reducing future taxable gain distributions.
Qualified late year capital losses incurred after October 31, 2022 and within the current taxable year are deemed to arise on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Income Fund deferred $1,937,285 of late year capital losses to January 1, 2023 for federal income tax purposes.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the following reclassifications were made as a result of permanent differences between the financial statement and income tax reporting requirements:

Short Duration Bond Fund | | | 5,306,091 | | | | 1,506,243 | |
Note 6 | Indemnifications | In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. 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, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 7 | Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End | The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Funds’ related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Funds’ financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the fiscal period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ financial statements.
Other service providers: During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) provided administration, fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Funds. On August 7, 2023 the Funds completed a service provider conversion transitioning services from Ultimus to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp.
Understanding Your Ongoing Costs
(UNAUDITED) | 06.30.2023
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023.
Actual expenses | The information in the row titled “Based on Actual Fund Return” of the table below provides actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the appropriate row for your Fund, under the column titled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes | The information in the row titled “Based on Hypothetical 5% Return (before expenses)” of the table below provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (load) or redemption fees. Therefore, this information is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
Additional Information About Principal Risk Factors
The greatest risk of investing in a mutual fund is that its returns will fluctuate and you could lose money. Turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide, which could have an adverse effect on the funds. Additionally, while the portfolio managers seek to take advantage of investment opportunities that will maximize a fund’s investment returns, there is no guarantee that such opportunities will ultimately benefit the fund. There is no assurance that the portfolio managers’ investment strategy will enable a fund to achieve its investment objective. An investment in a fund is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The following table identifies the risk factors of each fund in light of its principal investment strategies. These risk factors are explained following the table.
The principal risks of investing in each fund listed below are presented in alphabetical order and not in order of importance or potential exposure. Among other matters, this presentation is intended to facilitate your ability to find particular risks and compare them with the risks of other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in a fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.

Callable Securities | A fund may invest in fixed-income securities with call features. A call feature allows the issuer of the security to redeem or call the security prior to its stated maturity date. In periods of falling interest rates, issuers may be more likely to call in securities that are paying higher coupon rates than prevailing interest rates. In the event of a call, a fund would lose the income that would have been earned to maturity on that security, the proceeds received by a fund may be invested in securities paying lower coupon rates or other less favorable characteristics, and a fund may not benefit from any increase in value that might otherwise result from declining interest rates. Thus, a fund‘s income could be reduced as a result of a call and this may reduce the amount of a fund’s distributions. In addition, the market value of a
callable security may decrease if it is perceived by the market as likely to be called, which could have a negative impact on a fund‘s total return.
Credit | A fund could lose money if the issuer or a counterparty, in the case of a derivatives contract, is unable or unwilling, or is perceived as unable or unwilling (whether by market participants, ratings agencies, pricing services or otherwise) to meet its financial obligations or goes bankrupt. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in their credit ratings. Generally, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a security, the more sensitive it is to credit risk. The downgrade of the credit rating of a security held by a fund may decrease its value and may make it more difficult for the fund to sell it. Credit risk may change over the life of an

(UNAUDITED)
instrument. Credit risk usually applies to most fixed income securities. U.S. government securities, especially those that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as securities supported only by the credit of the issuing governmental agency or government-sponsored enterprise, carry at least some risk of nonpayment, and the maximum potential liability of the issuers of such securities may greatly exceed their current resources. There is no assurance that the U.S. government would provide financial support to the issuing entity if not obligated to do so by law. Further, any government guarantees on U.S. government securities that a fund owns extend only to the timely payment of interest and the repayment of principal on the securities themselves and do not extend to the market value of the securities themselves or to shares of the fund.
Currencies | A fund may have exposure to foreign currencies through its investments. Foreign currencies may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time for a number of reasons, including changes in interest rates, may be affected unpredictably by intervention, or the failure to intervene, of the U.S. or foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, and may be affected by the imposition of currency controls or political developments in the U.S. or abroad. As a result, a fund’s exposure to foreign currencies may reduce the returns of a fund. Foreign currencies may decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar and other currencies and thereby affect a fund’s investments. In addition, changes in currency exchange rates could adversely impact investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency futures and forwards, if used, may not always work as intended, and in specific cases, a Fund may be worse off than if it had not used such instrument(s). In the case of hedging positions, the U.S. dollar or other currency may decline in value relative to the foreign currency that is being hedged and thereby affect a fund’s investments. There may not always be suitable hedging instruments available. Even where suitable hedging instruments are available, a fund may choose to not hedge its currency risks.
Emerging markets | When investing in emerging markets, the risks of investing in foreign securities discussed below are heightened. Emerging markets have unique risks that are greater than or in addition to those associated with investing in developed markets because emerging markets are generally smaller, less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the U.S. and other foreign developed markets. There are also risks of: greater political uncertainties; an economy’s dependence on revenues from particular commodities or on international aid or development assistance; currency transfer restrictions; a limited number of potential buyers for such securities; delays and disruptions in securities settlement procedures; less stringent, or a lack of, uniform accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and recordkeeping requirements or standards; less reliable clearance and settlement, registration and custodial procedures; trading suspensions and other restrictions on investment; and significant limitations on investor rights and recourse. The economies and governments of emerging market countries tend to be more unstable than those of developed countries, resulting in more volatile rates of return than the developed markets and significantly greater risk to investors. The governments of emerging market countries may also be more unstable and more likely to impose capital controls, nationalize a company or industry, place restrictions on foreign ownership and on withdrawing sale proceeds of securities from the country, intervene in the financial markets, and/ or impose burdensome taxes that could adversely affect security prices. There may be less publicly available or less reliable information regarding issuers in emerging markets, which can impede a fund’s ability to accurately evaluate foreign securities. In certain emerging market countries, fraud and corruption may be more prevalent than in developed market countries, and investor protections may be more limited than those in other countries. It may be difficult to obtain or enforce legal judgments against non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. persons in foreign jurisdictions, through either the foreign judicial system or through a private arbitration process. Additionally, a fund may experience more volatile rates of return. These matters have the potential to impact a fund’s investment objective and performance.
Equity securities | A fund’s equity securities investments are subject to market risk. A fund may invest in the following equity securities, which may expose a fund to the following additional risks:
| • | | Common Stocks. The value of a company’s common stock may fall as a result of factors directly relating to that company, such as decisions made by its management or decreased demand for the company’s products or services. A stock’s value may also decline because of factors affecting not just the company, but also companies in the same industry or sector. The price of a company’s stock may also be affected by changes in financial markets that are unrelated to the company, such as changes in interest rates, exchange rates or industry regulation. Companies that pay dividends on their common stock generally only do so after they invest in their own business and make required payments to bondholders and on other debt and preferred stock. Therefore, the value of a company’s common stock will usually be more volatile than its bonds, other debt, and preferred stock. Common stock generally is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company. In the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, there is substantial risk that there will be nothing left to pay common stockholders after payments, if any, to bondholders and preferred stockholders have been made. |
| • | | Preferred Stocks. Preferred securities, including convertible preferred securities, are subject to issuer-specific and market risks; however, preferred securities may be less liquid than common stocks and offer more limited participation in the growth of an issuer. If interest rates rise, the dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Distributions on preferred stocks generally are payable at the discretion of an issuer and after required payments to bondholders. Preferred shareholders may have only certain limited rights if distributions are not paid for a stated period, but generally have no legal recourse against the issuer and may suffer a loss of value if distributions are not paid. Preferred stocks may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when interest rates decline. Because the rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of its liquidation are generally subordinated to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities, in the event of an issuer’s bankruptcy, there is substantial risk that there will be nothing left to pay preferred stockholders after payments, if any, to bondholders have been made. For this reason, the value of preferred securities will usually react more strongly than bonds and other debt securities to actual or perceived changes in the company’s financial condition or prospects. Preferred stocks may also be subject to credit risk, which is the risk that an issuer may be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations. |
| • | | Convertible Securities. The investment value of a convertible security (“convertible”) is based on its yield and tends to decline as interest rates increase. The conversion value of a convertible is the market value that would be received if the convertible were converted to its underlying common stock. Since it derives a portion of its value from the common stock into which it may be converted, a convertible is also subject to the same types of market and issuer-specific risks that apply to the underlying common stock. Convertible securities are subject to the risk that the credit standing of the issuer may have an effect on the convertible securities’ investment value. Convertible securities also are sensitive to movements in interest rates. Generally, a convertible security is subject to the market risks of stocks when the underlying stock’s price is high relative to the conversion price, and is subject to the market risks of debt securities when the underlying stock’s price is low relative to the conversion price. A convertible may be subject to redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible’s governing instrument, which may be less than the current market price of the security. Convertibles typically are |
Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
| | “junior” securities, which means an issuer may pay interest on its non-convertible debt before it can make payments on its convertibles. In the event of a liquidation, holders of convertibles may be paid before a company’s common stockholders but after holders of a company’s senior debt obligations. |
| • | | Dividend-Paying Stocks. Securities of companies that have historically paid a high dividend yield may reduce or discontinue their dividends, reducing the yield of the fund. Low-priced securities in the fund may be more susceptible to these risks. Past dividend payments are not a guarantee of future dividend payments. Securities that pay dividends may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and a sharp increase in interest rates, or other market downturn, could result in a decision to decrease or eliminate a dividend. Also, the market return of high dividend yield securities, in certain market conditions, may perform worse than other investment strategies or the overall stock market. Changes to the dividend policies of companies in which a fund invests and the capital resources available for dividend payment at such companies may harm fund performance. A fund may also be harmed by changes to the favorable federal income tax treatment generally afforded to dividends. |
| • | | REITS. REITS or other real estate-related securities are subject to the risks associated with direct ownership of real estate, including, among other risks, declines in the value of real estate, risks related to general and local economic conditions or changes in demographic trends or tastes, increases in operating expenses, defaults by mortgagors or other borrowers and tenants, lack of availability of mortgage funds or financing, extended vacancies of properties, especially during economic downturns, losses due to environmental liabilities, and adverse governmental, legal or regulatory action (such as changes to zoning laws, changes in interest rates, condemnation, tax increases, regulatory limitations on rents, or enforcement of or changes to environmental regulations). Additionally, REITs are dependent on the skills of their managers. Shares of REITs may trade less frequently and, therefore, are subject to more erratic price movements than securities of larger issuers. REITs typically incur fees that are separate from those incurred by a fund, meaning a fund’s investment in REITs will result in the layering of expenses such that as a shareholder, a fund will indirectly bear a proportionate share of a REIT’s operating expenses. A domestic REIT could fail to qualify for tax-free “pass-through” of distributed net income and net realized gains under the Internal Revenue Code, or to maintain its exemption from registration under the 1940 Act. |
Foreign securities | Investments in foreign securities involve greater risks than investing in domestic securities. As a result, a fund’s return and NAV may be affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates or political or economic conditions and regulatory requirements in a particular country. Foreign markets, as well as foreign economies and political systems, may be less stable than U.S. markets, and changes in the exchange rates of foreign currencies can affect the value of a fund’s foreign assets. Foreign laws and accounting standards typically are not as strict as they are in the U.S., and there may be less government regulation and supervision of foreign stock exchanges, brokers and listed companies. In addition, there may be less public information available about foreign companies. The unavailability and/or unreliability of public information available may impede the fund’s ability to accurately evaluate foreign securities. Custodial and/or settlement systems in foreign markets may not be fully developed and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt. Foreign issuers may utilize unfamiliar corporate organizational structures, which can limit investor rights and recourse. Moreover, it may be difficult to enforce contractual obligations or invoke judicial or arbitration processes against non-U.S. companies and non-U.S. persons in foreign jurisdictions. Foreign securities may be less liquid than domestic securities and there may be delays in transaction settlement in some foreign
markets. Securities of issuers traded on foreign exchanges may be suspended, either by the issuers themselves, by an exchange, or by government authorities. Over a given period of time, foreign securities may underperform U.S. securities—sometimes for years. A fund could also underperform if it invests in countries or regions whose economic performance falls short. The risks associated with investments in governmental or quasi-governmental entities of a foreign country are heightened by the potential for unexpected governmental change, which may lead to default or expropriation, and inadequate government oversight and accounting. Obligations of supranational entities are subject to the risk that the governments on whose support the entity depends for its financial backing or repayment may be unable or unwilling to provide that support. The effect of recent, worldwide economic instability on specific foreign markets or issuers may be difficult to predict or evaluate. Some national economies continue to show profound instability, which may in turn affect their international trading and financial partners or other members of their currency bloc.
Growth stocks | Growth companies are expected to increase their earnings at a certain rate. When these expectations are not met, the prices of these stocks may decline, even if earnings showed an absolute increase. Growth company stocks also typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns. The price of a growth company’s stock may fail or not approach the value that has been placed on it. If a growth investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, a fund could underperform funds that use a value or other non-growth approach to investing or have a broader investment style.
High Yield securities | Investments in securities rated below investment grade, or “junk bonds,” generally involve significantly greater risks of loss of your money than an investment in investment grade bonds. Compared with issuers of investment grade bonds, issuers of junk bonds are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties, leading to a greater risk that the issuer will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. Rising interest rates may compound these difficulties and reduce an issuer’s ability to repay principal and interest obligations. Issuers of lower rated securities also have a greater risk of default or bankruptcy, especially when the economy is weak or expected to become weak. If an issuer defaults, a fund may incur additional expenses to seek recovery. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case a fund may lose its entire investment. Additionally, due to the greater number of considerations involved in the selection of a fund’s securities, the achievement of a fund’s objective depends more on the skills of the portfolio manager than investing only in higher-rated securities. Therefore, your investment may experience greater volatility in price and yield. High-yield securities may be less liquid than higher quality investments. A security whose credit rating has been lowered may be particularly difficult to sell. The higher yields of high-yielding securities may not reflect the value of the income stream that holders of such securities may expect, but rather the risk that such securities may lose a substantial portion of their value as a result of their issuer’s financial restructuring or default. Investments in high-yield securities are inherently speculative. High yield securities carry greater levels of call risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Inflation | Inflation is a decline in the purchasing power of money over time and there is a risk that inflation will undermine the performance of an investment.
Interest rate | Investments in investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk. The value of the Fund’s fixed income investments typically will fall when interest rates rise. The Fund may be particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates if it invests in debt securities with intermediate and long terms to maturity. Debt securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations. For example, if a bond has a duration of eight years, a 1% increase in interest rates could be expected to result in a 8% decrease in the value of the bond. Very low or
Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. During periods of very low or negative interest rates, the Fund may be unable to maintain positive returns or pay dividends to Fund shareholders. Certain European countries and Japan have experienced negative interest rates on deposits and debt securities have traded at negative yields. Negative interest rates may become more prevalent among non-U.S. issuers, and potentially within the United States. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates. Conversely, interest rates may rise significantly and/or rapidly, potentially resulting in substantial losses to the Fund.
Large-cap companies | Investments in large-cap companies may underperform other segments of the market, in some cases for extended periods of time, because such companies may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Large-cap companies generally are expected to be less volatile than companies with smaller market capitalizations. However, large-cap companies may be unable to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during periods of economic expansion, and may instead focus their competitive efforts on maintaining or expanding their market share.
Liquidity | Liquidity risk is the possibility that trading activity in certain securities may, at times, be significantly hampered. At times, a fund’s securities may have limited marketability, be subject to restrictions on resale, be difficult or impossible to purchase or sell at favorable times or prices, or become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse credit events that may affect issuers or guarantors of a debt security, any of which could have the effect of decreasing the overall level of the fund’s liquidity. The market prices for such securities may be volatile. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect a fund’s NAV or prevent a fund from being able to take advantage of other investment opportunities. A fund could lose money if it cannot sell a security at the time and price that would be most beneficial to a fund. A fund may be required to dispose of investments at unfavorable times or prices to satisfy obligations, which may result in losses or may be costly to a fund. Market developments may cause a fund’s investments to become less liquid and subject to erratic price movements. In addition, the market-making capacity of dealers in certain types of securities has been reduced in recent years, in part as a result of structural and regulatory changes, such as fewer proprietary trading desks and increased capital requirements for broker- dealers. Further, many broker-dealers have reduced their inventory of certain debt securities. This could negatively affect a fund’s ability to buy or sell debt securities and increase the related volatility and trading costs. For example, liquidity risk may be magnified in rising interest rate environments due to higher than normal redemption rates.
Management and Strategy | The value of your investment depends on the judgment of the sub-adviser about the quality, relative yield, value, or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, which may prove to be incorrect. Investment strategies employed by the sub-adviser in selecting investments for a Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments.
Market | Markets may at times be volatile and the values of a fund’s stock and fixed income holdings, as well as the income generated by a fund’s fixed income holdings, may decline, sometimes significantly and/or rapidly, because of adverse issuer-specific conditions or general market conditions, including a broad stock market decline, which are not specifically related to a particular issuer. These conditions may include real or perceived adverse political, regulatory, market, economic, or other developments, such as natural disasters, public health crises, pandemics, regional or global economic instability, and interest, inflation, and currency rate fluctuations. These and other conditions may cause broad changes in market value, the general outlook for corporate earnings, public perceptions concerning these developments, or adverse investment sentiment generally. These events may lead to periods of
volatility, which may be exacerbated by changes in market size and structure. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer, industry, or market segment also can impact the market as a whole. In addition, adverse market events may lead to increased redemptions, which could cause a fund to experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent. Adverse market conditions may be prolonged and may not have the same impact on all types of securities. Conversely, it is also possible that, during a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value simultaneously. Changes in value may be temporary or may last for extended periods. During times of market turmoil, investors tend to look to the safety of securities issued or backed by the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and the yields to decline. Reduced liquidity in fixed income and credit markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide. Prices in many financial markets have increased significantly over the last decade, but there have also been periods of adverse market and financial developments and cyclical change during that timeframe, which have resulted in unusually high levels of volatility in domestic and foreign financial markets that has caused losses for investors and may occur again in the future, particularly if markets enter a period of uncertainty or economic weakness. Periods of unusually high volatility in the financial markets and restrictive credit conditions, sometimes limited to a particular sector or geographic region, continue to recur. Even when securities markets perform well, there is no assurance that the investments held by a fund will increase in value along with the broader market.
The increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events in a single country or events affecting a single or small number of issuers. Events such as natural disasters, public health crises, pandemics, governments’ reactions to and public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment could cause uncertainty in the markets and may adversely affect the performance of the global economy. Terrorism and related geopolitical risks, including tensions or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major players on the world stage or major producers of oil have led, and may in the future lead, to increased short-term market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects on world economies and markets generally. Likewise, systemic market dislocations of the kind that occurred during the financial crisis in 2008, if repeated, could be highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies and industries, securities markets, interest rates, credit ratings, inflation, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of a fund’s investments. Political and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad, such as changes in the U.S. presidential administration and Congress and domestic political unrest, the U.S. government’s inability at times to agree on a long-term budget and deficit reduction plan, the threat of a federal government shutdown and threats not to increase the federal government’s debt limit, may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree. The severity or duration of adverse economic conditions may also be affected by policy changes made by government or quasi-governmental organizations. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon both publicly available and proprietary information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access, the execution of ransomware, and other cyberattacks, and similar circumstances may impair the performance of these systems and may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers, or the market at large. In certain cases, an exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on either specific securities or even the entire market, which may result in a fund being, among other things, unable to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments or accurately price its investments. These fluctuations in stock prices could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The financial markets generally move in cycles, with periods
Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of your investment may reflect these fluctuations.
Recent Market Events | includes risks arising from current and recent circumstances impacting markets. Both U.S. and international markets have experienced significant volatility in recent months and years. As a result of such volatility, investment returns may fluctuate significantly. Moreover, the risks discussed herein associated with an investment in a Fund may be increased.
Although interest rates were unusually low in recent years in the U.S. and abroad, in 2022, the Federal Reserve and certain foreign central banks began to raise interest rates as part of their efforts to address rising inflation. It is difficult to accurately predict the pace at which interest rates may continue to increase, or the timing, frequency, or magnitude of any such increases. Additionally, various economic and political factors could cause the Federal Reserve or other foreign central banks to change their approach in the future and such actions may result in an economic slowdown in the US and abroad. Unexpected increases in interest rates could lead to market volatility or reduce liquidity in certain sectors of the market. Deteriorating economic fundamentals may, in turn, increase the risk of default or insolvency of particular issuers, negatively impact market value, cause credit spreads to widen, and reduce bank balance sheets. Any of these could cause an increase in market volatility or reduce liquidity across various markets. Additionally, high public debt in the U.S. and other countries creates ongoing systemic and market risks and policymaking uncertainty.
Some countries, including the U.S., have in recent years adopted more protectionist trade policies. Slowing global economic growth; risks associated with a trade agreement between the United Kingdom and the European Union; the risks associated with ongoing trade negotiations with China; the possibility of changes to some international trade agreements; tensions, war, or open conflict between nations, such as between Russia and Ukraine or in eastern Asia; political or economic dysfunction within some nations, including major producers of oil; and dramatic changes in commodity and currency prices could affect the economies of many nations, including the United States, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen as of the date of this Annual Report. Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine beginning in February 2022, the responses and sanctions by the United States and other countries, and the potential for wider conflict have had, and could continue to have, severe adverse effects on the performance and liquidity of global markets and could negatively affect the value of a Fund’s investment. The duration of ongoing hostilities and the vast array of sanctions and related events cannot be predicted. Those events present material uncertainty and risk with respect to markets globally and the performance of a Fund and its investments or operations could be negatively impacted. The recent strength of the U.S. dollar could decrease foreign demand for U.S. assets, which may negatively impact certain issuers and/or industries.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected and could continue to affect the economies of many nations, individual companies, and the global securities and commodities markets, including their liquidity, in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen as of the date of this Annual Report. Epidemics and/or pandemics, such as the coronavirus, have and may further result in, among other things, closing borders, extended quarantines and stay-at-home orders, order cancellations, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, widespread business closures and layoffs, as well as general concern and uncertainty.
Economists and others have expressed increasing concern about the potential effects of global climate change on property and security values. Certain issuers, industries and regions may be adversely affected by the impacts of climate change, including on the demand for and the
development of goods and services and related production costs, and the impacts of legislation, regulation, and international accords related to climate change, as well as any indirect consequences of regulation or business trends driven by climate change.
Master Limited Partnerships | Investing in MLPs involves certain risks related to investing in the underlying assets of the MLPs and risks associated with pooled investment vehicles. Investments held by MLPs may be relatively illiquid, limiting the MLP’s ability to change their portfolios promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. MLPs may have limited financial resources, their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, they may be difficult to value, and they may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than securities of larger or more broadly based companies. Holders of units in MLPs have more limited rights to vote on matters affecting the partnership and may be required to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. A Fund invests as a limited partner, and normally would not be liable for the debts of an MLP beyond the amounts a Fund has contributed but it would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain instances, creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek a return of capital that had been distributed to a limited partner. The right of an MLP’s creditors would continue even after a Fund had sold its investment in the partnership. MLPs typically invest in real estate, oil and gas equipment leasing assets, but they also finance entertainment, research and development, and other projects. A Fund’s investments in MLPs will be limited to no more than 25% of its assets in order for a Fund to meet the requirements necessary to qualify as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Distributions from an MLP may consist in part of a return of the amount originally invested, which would not be taxable to the extent the distributions do not exceed the investor’s adjusted basis on its MLP interest. These reductions in a Fund’s adjusted tax basis in the MLP securities will increase the amount of gain (or decrease the amount of loss) recognized by a Fund on a subsequent sale of the securities. MLPs holding credit- related investments are subject to interest rate risk and the risk of default on payment obligations by debt issuers. MLPs that concentrate in a particular industry or a particular geographic region are subject to risks associated with such industry or region.
Mid-cap companies | Investments in mid-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Mid-cap companies may have narrower commercial markets and limited managerial and financial resources compared to larger, more established companies. The performance of mid-cap companies can be more volatile, and their stocks less liquid, compared to larger more established companies, which could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in mid-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.
Mortgage- and asset-backed securities | Mortgage and asset-backed security risk arises in part from the potential for mortgage failure, particularly during periods of market downturn, premature repayment of principal, or a delay in the repayment of principal, and can increase in an unstable or depressed housing market. The reduced value of the fund’s securities and the potential loss of principal as a result of a mortgagor’s failure to repay would have a negative impact on the fund. If a borrower repays the principal early, a fund may have to reinvest the proceeds at a lower rate, thereby reducing a fund’s income. Conversely, a delay in the repayment of principal could lengthen the expected maturity of the securities, thereby increasing the potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause the values of the securities to fall sharply. In a to-be-announced (“TBA”) mortgage-backed transaction, a fund and the seller agree upon the issuer, interest rate and terms of the underlying mortgages. However, the seller does not identify the specific underlying mortgages until it issues the security. TBA mortgage-backed securities increase interest rate risks because the underlying mortgages may be less favorable than anticipated by a fund.
Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
Municipal Securities | A municipal security’s value, interest payments or repayment of principal could be affected by economic, legislative or political changes. In addition, a Fund’s investments in municipal securities are subject to the risks associated with a lack of liquidity in the municipal bond market. Municipal securities are also subject to potential volatility in the municipal market and the fund’s share price, yield and total return may fluctuate in response to municipal bond market movements. Municipal securities with principal and interest payments that are made from the revenues of a specific project or facility, as opposed to general tax revenues, may have increased risks. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may affect its ability to make interest and principal payments when due. Any failure of municipal securities invested in by a Fund to meet certain applicable legal requirements, or any proposed or actual changes in federal or state tax law, could cause Fund distributions attributable to interest on such securities to be taxable.
New fund | The current performance and expenses of a new fund may not represent how such fund is expected to, or may, perform in the long term if and when it becomes larger and has fully implemented its investment strategies. Investment positions may have a disproportionate impact (negative or positive) on performance in a new fund. The shareholder fees and annual fund operating expenses of a new fund may also be higher than those of a fund that has fully implemented its investment strategies and attracted sufficient assets to achieve investment and trading efficiencies. New funds may also require a period of time before they are invested in securities that meet their investment objectives and policies and they achieve a representative portfolio composition. Fund performance may be lower or higher during this “ramp-up” period, and may also be more volatile, than would be the case after the fund is fully invested. Similarly, a new fund’s investment strategies may require a longer period of time to show returns that are representative of the strategies.
Other investment companies, including Money Market Funds and ETFs Risk | Investments in the securities of other investment companies, including money market funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (which may, in turn invest in equities, bonds, and other financial vehicles), may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses. By investing in another investment company, a fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company. As a result, fund shareholders indirectly bear the fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses fund shareholders indirectly bear in connection with the fund’s own operations. Investments in other investment companies will subject a fund to the risks of the types of investments in which the investment companies invest.
Portfolio turnover | A fund may engage in more active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to a greater extent than certain other mutual funds with similar investment objectives. A fund’s turnover rate may vary greatly from year to year or during periods within a year. A high rate of portfolio turnover may lead to greater transaction costs, result in adverse tax consequences to investors (from increased recognition of net capital gains, which are taxable to shareholders when distributed to them) and adversely affect performance.
Restricted Securities | Securities not registered in the U.S. under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or in non-U.S. markets pursuant to similar regulations, including “Section 4(a)(2)” securities and “Rule 144A” securities, are restricted as to their resale. Such securities may not be listed on an exchange and may have no active trading market. The prices of these securities may be more difficult to determine than publicly traded securities and these securities may involve heightened risk as compared to investments in securities of publicly traded companies. They may be more difficult to purchase or sell at an advantageous time or price because such securities may not be readily marketable in broad public markets, or may have to be held for a certain time period before they can be resold. The Fund may not be able to sell a restricted security when the sub-adviser considers it desirable to do so and/or may have to sell the security at a lower price than the Fund believes is its fair market value. A restricted security that was liquid at the time of purchase may
subsequently become illiquid. In addition, transaction costs may be higher for restricted securities and the Fund may receive only limited information regarding the issuer of a restricted security. The Fund may have to bear the expense of registering restricted securities for resale and the risk of substantial delays in effecting the registration. If, during such a delay, adverse market conditions were to develop, the Fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed at the time it decided to seek registration of the security.
Sector | A fund may hold a significant amount of investments in companies that are in similar businesses, which may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events that may, in certain circumstances, cause the value of securities of all companies in a particular sector of the market to change. To the extent a fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase. In addition, when a fund focuses its investments in certain sectors of the economy, its performance could fluctuate more widely than if a fund invested more evenly across sectors. Individual sectors may be more volatile, and may perform differently, than the broader market. As a fund’s portfolio changes over time, a fund’s exposure to a particular sector may become higher or lower.
Financials sector | Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, the interest rates and fees they can charge, the scope of their activities, the prices they can charge, and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. In addition, deterioration of the credit markets generally may cause an adverse impact in a broad range of markets, including U.S. and international credit and interbank money markets generally, thereby affecting a wide range of financial institutions and markets. Certain events in the financial sector may cause an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets, both domestic and foreign, and cause certain financial services companies to incur large losses. Securities of financial services companies may experience a dramatic decline in value when such companies experience substantial declines in the valuations of their assets, take action to raise capital (such as the issuance of debt or equity securities), or cease operations. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition. Adverse economic, business, or political developments could adversely affect financial institutions engaged in mortgage finance or other lending or investing activities directly or indirectly connected to the value of real estate.
Health care sector | The health care sector may be affected by government regulations and government health care programs, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, increases or decreases in the cost of medical products and services, and product liability claims, among other factors. Many health care companies are (1) heavily dependent on patent protection and intellectual property rights and the expiration of a patent may adversely affect their profitability, (2) subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims, and (3) subject to competitive forces that may make it difficult to raise prices and, may result in price discounting. Health care companies may also be thinly capitalized and susceptible to product obsolescence. Many health care products and services may be subject to regulatory approvals. The process of obtaining such approvals may be long and costly, and delays in or failure to receive such approvals may negatively impact the business of such companies. Additional or more stringent laws and regulations enacted in the future could have a material adverse effect on such companies in the health care sector. Issuers in the health care sector include issuers having their principal activities in the biotechnology industry or in medical laboratories and research, which pose additional risks. A biotechnology company’s valuation can often be based largely on the potential or actual performance of a limited number of products and, accordingly, can be
Principal Risks
(UNAUDITED)
significantly affected if one of its products proves unsafe, ineffective, or unprofitable. Many biotechnology companies invest heavily in research and development, and their products or services may not prove commercially successful or may become obsolete quickly due to technological change. Biotechnology companies can also be significantly affected by technological change and obsolescence, product liability lawsuits, and consequential high insurance costs. The values of biotechnology companies are also dependent on the development, protection and exploitation of intellectual property rights and other proprietary information. Any impairment of such rights may have adverse financial consequences. Biotechnology companies are subject to regulation by, and the restrictions of, the Food and Drug Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency, state and local governments, and foreign regulatory authorities. A biotechnology company may be unable to raise prices on its products or services to cover its development and regulatory costs because of managed care pressure or price controls. Biotechnology stocks, especially those issued by smaller, less-seasoned companies, can be more volatile than the overall market.
Information technology sector | The information technology sector includes companies engaged in internet software and services, technology hardware and storage peripherals, electronic equipment, instruments and components, and semiconductors and semiconductor equipment. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources, or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face rapid product obsolescence due to technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates, and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Failure to introduce new products, develop and maintain a loyal customer base or achieve general market acceptance for their products could have a material adverse effect on a company’s business. Companies in the information technology sector are heavily dependent on intellectual property and the loss of patent, copyright and trademark protections may adversely affect the profitability of these companies.
Small-cap companies | Investments in small-cap companies generally involve greater risks than investing in large-capitalization companies. Companies with smaller market capitalizations generally have lower volume of shares traded daily, less liquid stock, and more volatile stock prices. Companies with smaller market capitalizations also tend to have a limited product or service base and limited access to capital. Newer companies with unproven business strategies also tend to be smaller companies. The above factors increase risks and make these companies more likely to fail than companies with larger market capitalizations, and could increase the volatility of a fund’s portfolio and performance. Shareholders of a fund that invests in small-cap companies should expect that the value of the fund’s shares will be more volatile than a fund that invests exclusively in mid-cap or large-cap companies. Generally, the smaller the company size, the greater these risks.
U.S. Government securities and Government sponsored enterprises | A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed by the applicable entity only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Investments in securities issued by Government sponsored enterprises are debt obligations issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government. These obligations vary in the level of support they receive from the U.S. Government. They may be: (1) supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Government National Mortgage Association; (2) supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, such as those of the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Farm Credit Banks; (3) supported by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency obligations, such as those of the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; or (4) supported only by the credit of the issuer, such as
those of the Federal Farm Credit Bureau. The U.S. Government may choose not to provide financial support to U.S. Government sponsored agencies or instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so. In such circumstances, if the issuer defaulted, a fund may not be able to recover its investment from the U.S. Government. Like all bonds, U.S. Government securities and Government- sponsored enterprise bonds are also subject to interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The rising U.S. national debt may lead to adverse impacts on the value of U.S. government securities due to potentially higher costs for the U.S. government to obtain new financing.
U.S. Treasury obligations | Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States; however, the U.S. government guarantees the securities only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity, and the market prices of such securities may fluctuate. The value of U.S. Treasury obligations may vary due to changes in interest rates. In addition, changes to the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S. government may cause the value of a fund’s investments in obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury to decline. Certain political events in the U.S., such as a prolonged government shutdown, may also cause investors to lose confidence in the U.S. government and may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline. Because U.S. Treasury securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may also rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. The total public debt of the U.S. as a percent of GDP has grown rapidly since the beginning of the recent financial and market volatility as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Although high debt levels do not necessarily indicate or cause economic problems, they have the potential to create systemic risks if sound debt management practices are not implemented.
Value stocks | Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that their true worth may not be fully realized by the market or that their prices may decline. This may result in the value stocks’ prices remaining undervalued for extended periods of time. A fund’s performance also may be affected adversely if value stocks remain unpopular with or lose favor among investors. If a value investment style shifts out of favor based on market conditions and investor sentiment, a fund could underperform funds that use a non-value approach to investing or have a broader investment style.

(a)(4) On February 17, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees (“Board”) recommended and approved, and the Board approved, the appointment of Cohen and Co. (“Cohen”) as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023. The Board made the appointment contingent and effective upon Cohen’s acquisition of BBD LLP (“BBD”), which closed on March 6, 2023, and BBD’s subsequent resignation. On March 13, 2023, BBD resigned as the independent registered public accounting firm of Carillon Chartwell Income Fund, Carillon Chartwell Mid-Cap Value Fund, Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Value Fund, Carillon Chartwell Short Duration High Yield Fund, Carillon Chartwell Small Cap Growth Fund, and Carillon Chartwell Short Duration Bond Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Carillon Series Trust, and Cohen commenced serving as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Funds. The Audit Committee of the Board approved the replacement of BBD as a result of Cohen’s acquisition of BBD’s investment management group.
The reports of BBD on the financial statements of the Funds as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainties, audit scope or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023: (i) there were no disagreements between the registrant and BBD on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of BBD, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on the financial statements of the Funds for such years or interim period, and (ii) there were no “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Funds have received a letter from BBD addressed to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission stating that it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter is filed as an Exhibit to this Form N-CSR.
During the Funds’ fiscal years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and during the subsequent interim period through March 13, 2023, neither the registrant, nor anyone acting on its behalf, consulted with Cohen on behalf of the Funds regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or any matter that was either: (i) the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the instructions thereto; or (ii) “reportable events,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
(b) The certification required by Rule 30a-2(b) of the Investment Company Act and Section 1350 of Chapter 63 of Title 18 of the United States Code is filed and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1350CERT.
