There are risks associated with an investment in a bond fund, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment and extension risk. See the Fund's prospectus for information on these and other mobile database risks associated with the Fund. In general, bond prices rise when interest rates fall and vice versa. This effect is more pronounced for longer-term securities. Non-investment grade securities, commonly called "high-yield" or "junk" bonds, have more volatile prices and carry more risk to principal and income than investment grade securities. Shares of the Columbia U.S. Government Mortgage Fund are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government.
Income from tax-exempt funds may be subject to state and local taxes and a portion of income may be subject to the federal and/or state alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Federal income tax rules will apply to any capital gains distribution.
