We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of

material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2020

Note 1 – Organization

Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust (the "Trust") is intended to constitute an exempt trust under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and a group trust within the meaning of Rev. Rul. 81-100, as clarified and amended. The Trust is exempt from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Wilmington Trust, N.A. ("WTNA" or the "Trustee") serves as the Trustee of the Trust.

The Trustee is responsible for maintaining and administering the Trust and its various funds (the "Funds" – see Fund Index) and also serves as the investment manager (the "Investment Manager") to the Funds. M&T Bank Corporation is the ultimate parent of the Trustee. State Street Bank and Trust Company provides custody, transfer agency, and accounting services for the Funds.

The purpose of the Trust is to allow collective investments by plan sponsors of retirement plans which qualify for exemption from federal income taxation pursuant to Section 501(a) of the Code, by reason of qualifying under Section 401(a) of the Code; tax-exempt governmental plans under Section 414(d) or Section 818(a)(6) of the Code; eligible deferred compensation plans under Section 457(b) of the Code established by a government employer; group trusts or separate accounts consisting solely of assets of the foregoing; and other investors eligible for participation in the Trust. The Trust consists of separate funds with differing investment objectives, which are available for investment by participating plans. An eligible plan may join the Trust, subject to the Trustee's acceptance, and become a participating plan by executing participation documents specified by the Trustee. Not all funds within the Trust are presented herein. The Trustee has claimed an exclusion from the definition of commodity pool operator ("CPO") under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC") with respect to the Funds, and is therefore not subject to CFTC registration or regulation as a CPO with respect to the Funds.

WTNA has engaged Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor") to provide investment advice and recommendations with respect to investment of the Funds' assets. While the Trustee generally relies on the Sub-Advisor to manage the Funds' assets, the Trustee maintains ultimate fiduciary authority over the management of and investments made in each Fund. The Sub-Advisor is engaged pursuant to a sub-advisor agreement.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Funds are investment companies and follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 946.

Net Asset Value ("NAV") – Units of each fee class of each Fund are valued each day on which the ("NYSE") is open for trading in accordance with the valuation procedures established by the Trustee. The NAV per unit is calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern time). The NAV per unit is computed by dividing the total fair value of the assets of a Fund, less its liabilities, by the total number of units outstanding at the time of such computation. Investment income earned is reinvested in the Fund and included in the determination of unit values.

29 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

Fund Unit Transactions – The Funds sell new units and repurchase outstanding units on a daily basis. Unit purchases and redemptions are transacted at the NAV per fee class of the Funds determined as of the close of business each day. A summary of the Fund unit activity for each Fund is included with its Financial Highlights.

The Funds require the plan sponsors to provide advance written notice of five business days for plan sponsor directed withdrawals which will exceed $1 million.

Investment Valuation – Investments are valued at their current fair value determined as follows:

Money Market Fund – Investments in money market funds are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective fund.

Securities – Securities listed on a national securities exchange (other than securities listed on the NASDAQ OMX Group, Inc. ("NASDAQ")) are valued at the last sale price at the close of the exchange. If there has been no sale on such day, the securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices on such day. Securities listed on more than one exchange are valued by reference to the principal exchange on which the securities are traded; securities listed only on NASDAQ are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market ("OTC") are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices as reported by the National Quotation Bureau or other comparable sources. Investments in short-term investment funds are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective fund, which approximates fair value.

Corporate Bonds – The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), and other industry recognized techniques. Although most corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or other similar observable inputs, they are categorized in level 3.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Other Asset-Backed Securities – The Funds may invest in mortgage- backed securities ("MBS"), representing interests in pools of mortgage loans. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid. Most of the securities are guaranteed by federally sponsored agencies, but are not issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury – Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). However, some securities may be issued by private, non-government corporations. MBS issued by private entities are not government securities and are not directly guaranteed by any government agency but are secured by the underlying collateral of the private issuer. Yields on privately issued MBS tend to be higher than those of government- backed issues; however, risk of loss due to default and sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations is also higher.

The Funds may also invest in asset-backed securities, representing interests in pools of certain types of underlying installment loans or leases or revolving lines of credit. They often include credit enhancements that help limit investors' exposure to the underlying credit. These securities are valued on the basis of the timing and certainty of the cash flows compared to investments with similar durations.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations – The Funds may invest in collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and real estate mortgage investment conduits ("REMICs"). A CMO is a bond that is collateralized by a pool of

30 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

MBS, and a REMIC is similar in form to a CMO. These MBS pools are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. The different classes are retired in sequence as the underlying mortgages are repaid. For instance, a planned amortization class ("PAC") is a specific class of mortgages, which over its life will generally have the most stable cash flows and the lowest prepayment risk. A graduated payment mortgage ("GPM") is a negative amortization mortgage where the payment amount gradually increases over the life of the mortgage. The early payment amounts are not sufficient to cover the interest due, and, therefore, the unpaid interest is added to the principal, thus increasing the borrower's mortgage balance. Prepayment may shorten the stated maturity of the CMO and can result in a loss of premium if any has been paid.

Futures Contracts – The Funds may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. The Funds utilize futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds' returns. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the contract is held. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized losses or gains are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. Net realized and unrealized gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures are found on the Statement of Operations as a component of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on futures contracts.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that the Funds could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

When the valuation methods described above are not reflective of fair value, investments are valued at fair value following procedures and/or guidelines determined by or under the direction of the valuation committee established by the Trustee. In light of the judgment involved in fair value decisions, there can be no assurance that a fair value assigned to a particular investment is accurate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The Funds consider all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the acquisition date to be cash equivalents.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income – The Funds record security transactions on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized gains and losses on investments are determined by the first-in, first-out method. Interest income and expenses are recorded daily on the accrual basis.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

Guarantees and Indemnifications – Under the Funds' organizational documents, each trustee, officer, employee and agent of the Trust is indemnified, to the extent permitted by law, against certain liabilities that may arise in the performance of their duties to the Funds.

Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. 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, none of the Funds has had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and the Trustee believes the risk of loss to be remote.

Income Tax Status – The Trust has received a determination from the Internal Revenue Service that the Trust is exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

Subsequent Events – The Trustee has evaluated the effect of subsequent events on the Funds' financial statements through April 30, 2021, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued, and has determined that there are no material subsequent events, except as noted below, that would require disclosure or adjustment in the Funds' financial statements through this date.

Effective February 22, 2021, the Trustee has engaged The Northern Trust Company as the Custodian of the Funds. The Northern Trust Company will also provide transfer agent, recordkeeping and accounting services.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of the Funds' investments. The Trustee has performed an analysis of the significance and character of these inputs to the fair value determination. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. • Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, and others). • Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Trustee's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments. A summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2020, in valuing the Funds' assets carried at fair value is included in Note 2.

The aggregate fair value of the investments in each Fund, by input level used as of December 31, 2020, is included following each Fund's Schedule of Investments.

When assets of a Fund are invested in other investment vehicles, such as other collective funds or Exchange-Traded Funds, those investment vehicles will incur fees and expenses, which will be reflected in the operating results and value of the Fund's investment in such investment vehicle, and are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses of each Fund described above.

Note 6 – Related Party Transactions

The Trustee is a national bank that provides trust and custodial services for tax-advantaged retirement plans as well as trust and investment services to business pension and retirement plans. The Trustee is responsible for managing the Trust's investment and business affairs.

Note 7 – Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds

In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the fair value of the investments. The principal risks associated with investing in each Fund are:

• Active Management. The Fund is actively managed and subject to the risk that the sub-advisor's usage of investment techniques and risk analyses to make investment decisions fails to perform as expected, which may cause the Fund to lose value or underperform investments with similar objectives and strategies or the market in general.

• Capitalization Exposure. Concentrating assets in stocks of one or more capitalizations (small, mid, or large) may be subject to both the specific risks of those capitalizations as well as increased volatility because stocks of specific capitalizations tend to go through cycles of beating or lagging the market as a whole.

• Cash Drag. The Fund may fail to meet its investment objective because of positions in cash and equivalents.

• Convertible Securities. Investments in convertible securities may be subject to increased interest rate risks, rising in value as interest rates decline and falling in value when interest rates rise, in addition to their market value depending on the performance of the common stock of the issuer. Convertible securities which are typically unrated or rated lower than other debt obligations, are secondary to debt obligations in order of priority during a liquidation in the event the issuer defaults.

• Credit and Counterparty. The issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract, or other borrower may not be able to make timely principal, interest, or settlement payments on an obligation. In this event, the issuer of a fixed income security may have its credit rating downgraded or defaulted, which may reduce the potential for income and value of the Fund.

• Derivatives. Investments in derivatives may be subject to the risk that the sub-advisor does not correctly predict the movement of the underlying security, interest rate, market index, or other financial asset, or that the value of the derivative does not correlate perfectly with either the overall market or the underlying asset from which the derivative's value is derived. Because derivatives usually involve a small investment relative

35 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

to the magnitude of liquidity and other risks assumed, the resulting gain or loss from the transaction will be disproportionately magnified. These investments may result in a loss if the counterparty to the transaction does not perform as promised.

• Equity Securities. The value of equity securities, which include common, preferred, and convertible preferred stocks, will fluctuate based on changes in their issuers' financial conditions, as well as overall market and economic conditions, and can decline in the event of deteriorating issuer, market, or economic conditions.

• ETF. Investments in exchange-traded funds generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although they may be subject to greater liquidity risk and higher costs than owning the underlying securities directly because of their management fees, and may not pass through voting and other shareholder rights on the underlying securities. Shares of ETFs are subject to market trading risk, potentially trading at a premium or discount to net asset value.

• Fixed Income Securities. The value of fixed income or debt securities may be susceptible to general movements in the bond market and are subject to interest rate and credit risk.

• Foreign Securities. Investments in foreign securities may be subject to increased volatility as the value of these securities can change more rapidly and extremely than the value of U.S. securities. Factors that increase the risk of investing in foreign securities include but are not limited to the following: less public information about issuers of non-U.S. securities; less governmental regulation and supervision over the issuance and trading of securities, the unavailability of financial information regarding the non-U.S. issuer or the difficulty of interpreting financial information prepared under non-U.S. accounting standards, less liquidity, the imposition of withholding and other taxes, and adverse political, social or diplomatic developments. In addition, foreign securities are subject to increased costs because there are generally higher commission rates on transactions, transfer taxes, higher custodial costs, and the potential for foreign tax charges on dividend and interest payments. Many foreign markets are relatively small, and securities issued in less-developed countries face the risks of nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, and adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, including suspension of the ability to transfer currency from a country. Economic, political, social, or diplomatic developments can also negatively impact performance.

• Futures. Investments in futures contracts and options on futures contracts may increase volatility and be subject to additional market, active management, interest, currency, and other risks if the contract cannot be closed when desired.

• Hedging Strategies. The use of hedging strategies to reduce risk may limit the opportunity for gains compared with unhedged investments, and there is no guarantee that hedges will actually reduce risk.

• High Portfolio Turnover. Active trading may create high portfolio turnover, or a turnover of 100% or more, resulting in increased transaction costs. These higher costs may have an adverse impact on performance.

36 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

• Income. The investment's income payments may decline depending on fluctuations in interest rates and the dividend payments of its underlying securities. In this event, some investments may attempt to pay the same dividend amount by returning capital.

• Industry and Sector Investing. Concentrating assets in a particular industry, sector of the economy, or markets may increase volatility because the investment will be more susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory, and other factors affecting that industry or sector compared with a more broadly diversified asset allocation.

• Interest Rate. Securities are subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will reduce their market value.

• Large Cap. Concentrating assets in large-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond as quickly as small- and mid-cap companies can to new competitive pressures and may lack the growth potential of those securities. Historically, large-cap companies do not recover as quickly as smaller companies do from market declines.

• Long-Term Outlook and Projections. The investment is intended to be held for a substantial period of time, and investors should tolerate fluctuations in their investment's value.

• Market/Market Volatility. The market value of the Fund's securities may fall rapidly or unpredictably because of changing economic, political, or market conditions, which may reduce the value of the Fund.

• Mid-Cap. Concentrating assets in mid-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Mid-cap companies may be subject to increased liquidity risk compared with large-cap companies and may experience greater price volatility than do those securities because of more limited product lines or financial resources, among other factors.

• Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities. Investments in mortgage-backed ("MBS") and asset- backed securities ("ABS") may be subject to increased price volatility because of changes in interest rates, issuer information availability, credit quality of the underlying assets, market perception of the issuer, availability of credit enhancement, and prepayment of principal. The value of MBS and ABS may be adversely affected if the underlying borrower fails to pay the loan included in the security.

• Not FDIC Insured. The investment is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other U.S. governmental agency.

• Portfolio Diversification. Investments that concentrate their assets in a relatively small number of issuers, or in the securities of issuers in a particular market, industry, sector, country, or asset class, may be subject to greater risk of loss than is a more widely diversified investment.

• Prepayment (Call). The issuer of a debt security may be able to repay principal prior to the security's maturity because of an improvement in its credit quality or falling interest rates. In this event, this principal

37 Wilmington Trust Collective Investment Trust

Funds Sub-Advised by Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2020

may have to be reinvested in securities with lower interest rates than the original securities, reducing the potential for income.

• Quantitative Investing. Holdings selected by quantitative analysis may perform differently from the market as a whole based on the factors used in the analysis, the weighting of each factor, and how the factors have changed over time.

• Real Estate/REIT Sector. Concentrating assets in the real estate sector or Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs") may disproportionately subject the Fund to the risks of that industry, including loss of value because of changes in real estate values, interest rates, and taxes, as well as changes in zoning, building, environmental, and other laws, among other factors. Investments in REITs may be subject to increased price volatility and liquidity risk, and investors indirectly bear their proportionate share of expenses because of their management fees.

• Small Cap. Concentrating assets in small-capitalization stocks may subject the Fund to the risk that those stocks underperform other capitalizations or the market as a whole. Smaller, less-seasoned companies may be subject to increased liquidity risk compared with mid- and large-cap companies.

• Sovereign Debt. Investments in debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments or governmental entities are subject to the risk that an entity may delay or refuse to pay interest or principal on its sovereign debt because of cash flow problems, insufficient foreign reserves, or political or other considerations. In this event, there may be no legal process for collecting sovereign debts that a governmental entity has not repaid.

• Suitability. The investment is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other U.S. governmental agency.

• Swaps. Investments in swaps, such as interest rate swaps, currency swaps and total return swaps, may increase volatility and be subject to increased liquidity, credit, and counterparty risks. Depending on their structure, swaps may increase or decrease the Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, corporate borrowing rates, security prices, index values, inflation rates, credit, or other factors.

• Value Investing. Value securities may be subject to the risk that these securities cannot overcome the adverse factors the sub-advisor believes are responsible for their low price or that the market may not recognize their fundamental value as the sub-advisor predicted. Value securities are not expected to experience significant earnings growth and may underperform growth stocks in certain markets.
