(a)
This charge is imposed on certain investments of between $1 million and $50 million redeemed within 18 months after purchase, as follows: 1.00% if redeemed within 12 months after purchase, and 0.50% if redeemed more than 12, but less than 18, months after purchase, with certain limited exceptions.
(b)
Other expenses have been restated to reflect current fees paid by the Fund and Other expenses for Class S shares are based on estimated amounts for the Fund’s current fiscal year.
(c)
“Total annual Fund operating expenses” include acquired fund fees and expenses
(expenses the Fund incurs indirectly through its investments in other investment companies) and may be higher than the ratio of expenses to average net assets shown in the
Financial Highlights section of this prospectus because the ratio of expenses to average net assets does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.
(d)
Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC and certain of its affiliates have
contractually agreed to waive fees and/or to reimburse expenses (excluding transaction costs and certain other investment related expenses, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees
and expenses, and infrequent and/or unusual expenses) through June 30, 2026, unless sooner terminated at the sole discretion of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under this agreement, the Fund’s net operating expenses, subject to applicable exclusions, will not exceed the annual rates of 1.05% for Class A, 0.80% for Class Inst, 0.74% for Class Inst2, 0.70% for Class Inst3, 1.30% for Class R and 0.80% for Class S. Any difference in these annual rates relative to the annual rates noted in the last row of the above table (e.g., net expense ratios) are due to applicable exclusions under the agreement.
Example
The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in
other mutual funds. The example illustrates the hypothetical expenses that you would incur over the time periods indicated, and assumes that:
■
you invest $10,000 in the applicable class of Fund shares for the periods
indicated,
■
your investment has a 5% return each year, and
■
the Fund’s total annual operating expenses remain the same as shown in the Annual Fund Operating
Expenses table above.

Since the waivers and/or
reimbursements shown in the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table above expire as indicated in the preceding table, they are only reflected in the 1 year example and the first year of the other
examples. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the assumptions listed above, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund may pay transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in
the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least
80% of its net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large-capitalization companies, primarily common stocks and securities that can be converted into common stocks. These companies have market capitalizations in the range of companies in the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the Index) at
the time of purchase (between $389.2 million and $3.4 trillion as of May 31, 2025). The market capitalization range and composition of companies in the Index are subject to change. The Fund
invests primarily in common stocks of companies that the investment manager believes have the potential for long-term, above-average earnings growth. The Fund may at times emphasize one or more sectors in selecting its investments, including the information technology sector.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. The Fund may invest directly in foreign securities or indirectly through depositary receipts.
Principal Risks
An investment in the Fund involves risks, including Large-Cap Stock Risk, Growth Securities Risk, Market Risk, and
Sector Risk, among others. Descriptions of these and other principal risks of investing in
the Fund are provided below. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its
investment objective and you may lose money. The value of the Fund’s holdings may decline, and the
Fund’s net asset value (NAV) and share price may go down. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation or any other government agency. The significance of any specific risk to an investment in the Fund will vary over time depending on the composition of the Fund's portfolio, market conditions, and other factors. You should
read all of the risk information below carefully, because any one or more of these risks may result in losses to the Fund.
Active Management Risk. Due to its active management, the Fund could underperform its benchmark index and/or other funds with similar
investment objectives and/or strategies. The Fund’s consideration of issuer environmental, social and corporate governance factors may cause the Fund to invest in, forego
investing in, or sell securities of issuers, including issuers within certain sectors, regions and countries that could negatively impact Fund performance.
Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities are subject to the usual risks associated with debt
instruments, such as interest rate risk and credit risk. Convertible securities also react to changes in the value of the common stock into which they convert, and are thus subject to market risk. The Fund may also be forced to convert a convertible
security at an inopportune time, which may decrease the Fund’s return.
Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts are receipts issued by a bank or trust company reflecting ownership of underlying securities issued
by foreign companies. Some foreign securities are traded in the form of American Depositary Receipts and/or Global Depositary Receipts. Depositary receipts involve risks similar
to the risks associated with investments in foreign securities, including those associated with an issuer’s (and any of its related companies’) country of organization and places of business operations, which may be related to the particular
political, regulatory, economic, social and other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations
Columbia Large Cap Growth Opportunity Fund
2
and actions, war, other conflicts, terrorism
and disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics) occurring in the country and fluctuations in such country’s currency, as well as market risk tied to the underlying foreign
company. In addition, holders of depositary receipts may have limited voting rights, may not have the same rights afforded to stockholders of a typical domestic company in the event of a corporate action, such as an acquisition, merger or rights offering, and
may experience difficulty in receiving company stockholder communications. There is no guarantee that a financial institution will continue to sponsor a depositary receipt, or
that a depositary receipt will continue to trade on an exchange, either of which could adversely affect the liquidity, availability and pricing of the depositary receipt. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of depositary receipts and, therefore, may affect the
value of your investment in the Fund.
Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in or exposure to securities of foreign companies may involve heightened risks relative to investments in
or exposure to securities of U.S. companies. Investing in securities of foreign companies subjects the Fund to the risks associated with an issuer’s (and any of its related
companies’) country of organization and places of business operations, including risks related to political, regulatory, economic, social, diplomatic and other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations and actions, war, other conflicts, terrorism
and disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics) occurring in the country or region, as well as risks associated with less developed custody and settlement practices. Foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than securities of
U.S. companies, and are subject to the risks associated with potential imposition of economic and other sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals or
industries or businesses within the country. In addition, foreign governments may impose withholding or other taxes on the Fund’s income, capital gains or proceeds from the
disposition of foreign securities, which could reduce the Fund’s return on such securities. The performance of the Fund may also be negatively affected by fluctuations in a foreign currency's strength or weakness relative to the U.S.
dollar, particularly to the extent the Fund invests a significant percentage of its assets in foreign securities or other assets denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
Growth Securities Risk. Growth securities typically trade at a higher multiple of earnings than other types of equity securities. Accordingly,
the market values of growth securities may never reach their expected market value and may decline in price. In addition, growth securities, at times, may not
perform as well as value securities or the stock market in general, and may be out of favor with investors for varying periods of time. Growth securities may also be sensitive to movements in interest rates.
Issuer Risk. An issuer in which the Fund invests or to which it has exposure may perform poorly or
below expectations, and the value of its securities may therefore decline, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. Underperformance of an issuer may be caused by poor management decisions, competitive pressures,
breakthroughs in technology, reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, natural disasters, military confrontations and actions, war, other conflicts, terrorism, disease/virus
outbreaks, epidemics or other events, conditions and factors which may impair the value of your investment in the Fund.
■
Large-Cap Stock Risk. Investments in larger, more established companies (larger companies) may involve certain risks associated with
their larger size. For instance, larger companies may be less able to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in consumer tastes or innovation from smaller
competitors. Also, larger companies are sometimes less able to achieve as high growth rates as successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Market Risk. The Fund may incur losses due to declines in the value of one or more securities in which it invests. These declines
may be due to factors affecting a particular issuer, or the result of, among other things, political, regulatory, market, economic or social developments affecting the relevant
market(s) more generally. In addition, turbulence in financial markets and reduced liquidity in equity, credit and/or fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers, which could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to price or value hard-to-value assets in thinly traded and closed markets and could cause significant redemptions and operational challenges. Global economies and
financial markets are increasingly interconnected, and conditions and events in one country, region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country,
region or financial market. These risks may be magnified if certain events or developments adversely interrupt the global supply chain; in these and other circumstances, such
risks might affect companies worldwide. As a result, local, regional or global events such as terrorism, war, other conflicts, natural disasters, disease/virus outbreaks and epidemics or other public health issues, recessions,
depressions or other events – or the potential for such events – could have a significant negative impact on global economic and market conditions.

Columbia Large Cap Growth Opportunity Fund
Sector Risk. At times, the Fund may have a significant portion of its assets invested in securities of companies conducting business
in a related group of industries within one or more economic sectors, including the information technology sector. Companies in the same sector may be similarly affected by
economic, regulatory, political or market events or conditions, which may make the Fund vulnerable to unfavorable developments in that group of industries or economic sector.
■
Information Technology Sector. The Fund is vulnerable to the particular risks that may affect companies in the information technology sector.
Companies in the information technology sector are subject to certain risks, including the risk that new services, equipment or technologies will not be accepted by consumers and
businesses or will become rapidly obsolete. Performance of such companies may be affected by factors including obtaining and protecting patents (or the failure to do so) and significant competitive pressures, including aggressive pricing of
their products or services, new market entrants, competition for market share and short product cycles due to an accelerated rate of technological developments. Such competitive
pressures may lead to limited earnings and/or falling profit margins. As a result, the value of their securities may fall or fail to rise. In addition, many information technology sector companies have limited operating histories and prices of these companies’ securities
historically have been more volatile than other securities, especially over the short term. Some companies in the information technology sector are facing increased government
and regulatory scrutiny and may be subject to adverse government or regulatory action, which could negatively impact the value of their securities.
Performance
Information
The following bar chart and table show you how the Fund
has performed in the past, and can help you understand the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the Fund’s Class A share performance (without sales
charges) has varied for each full calendar year shown. If the sales charges were reflected, returns shown would be lower. The table below the bar chart compares the Fund’s returns (after applicable sales charges shown in the
Shareholder Fees table in this prospectus) for the periods shown with a broad measure of
market performance, as well as another measure of performance for markets in which the Fund may invest.
Effective August 1, 2024, the Fund compares its performance to the Russell 1000® Index, a broad-based performance index, as required by new regulatory requirements. The Fund’s performance also continues to be
compared to its prior benchmark, which management believes more closely represents the market sectors and/or
asset classes in which the Fund primarily invests.
The performance of one or more share classes shown in the table below begins before the indicated inception date for
such share class. The returns shown for each such share class include the returns of the Fund’s Class A shares (without applicable sales charges and adjusted to reflect the
higher class-related operating expenses of such share classes, where applicable) for periods prior to its inception date. Share classes with expenses that are higher than Class A shares will have performance that is lower than Class A shares (without applicable sales charges).
Except for differences in annual returns resulting from differences in expenses and sales
charges (where applicable), the share classes of the Fund would have substantially similar annual returns because all share classes of the Fund invest in the same portfolio of securities.
The after-tax returns shown in the Average Annual Total Returns table below are calculated using the highest historical individual U.S. federal marginal income tax rates in effect
during the period indicated in the table and do not reflect the impact of state, local or foreign taxes. Your actual after-tax returns will depend on your personal tax situation and may differ from those shown in the table. In addition, the after-tax returns shown in the table do not
apply to shares held in tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k) plans or Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The after-tax returns are
shown only for Class A shares and will vary for other share classes.
The Fund’s performance prior to November 2015, when the Investment Manager assumed day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities over the Fund, reflects returns achieved by a subadviser that managed the
Fund according to different principal investment strategies. If the Fund’s current strategies had been in place for the prior periods, results shown may have been different.
The Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) is no guarantee of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information can be obtained by calling toll-free 800.345.6611 or visiting

Class S shares are
available (i) to be held, but not purchased, by accounts of financial intermediaries that, with specific written permission from the Distributor, have instructed the Fund to
exchange Class Inst shares for Class S shares; and (ii) to be held and purchased by omnibus group retirement plans that (A) opened and, subject to exceptions, funded a Class Inst share account as of the close of business on March 28, 2013 and have continuously held
Class Inst shares in such account through at least September 30, 2024 and (B) received specific written permission from the Distributor to exchange Class Inst shares for Class S
shares. Only omnibus retirement plans referenced in (ii) above may purchase Class S shares, open new Class S accounts, or add new plan participants to a Class S shares omnibus retirement plan account. Otherwise, Class S shares are not available for purchase (other

Tax Information
The Fund normally distributes net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders. These
distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. If you are investing through a tax-advantaged account, you may be taxed upon withdrawals from that account.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies — including Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC (the Investment Manager), Columbia
Management Investment Distributors, Inc. (the Distributor) and Columbia Management Investment Services Corp.
(the Transfer Agent) — may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your financial advisor to
recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial advisor or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
