3 Dear Shareholder, The US economic picture continued to improve through 2016 with solid GDP growth, incremental improvement on the employment and wage front, and a benign inflationary environment. Performance across the major asset classes was positive, ranging from modestly positive for US bonds and developed Non-US stocks, to strongly positive for US Stocks, commodities and emerging markets. Fixed income returns were positive for the year with the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index returning 2.65%. Large Cap US stocks as measured by the Russell 1000 Index returned 12.05% for the year. Non-US equity markets did not fare as well with the MSCI ACWI ex-us Developed Markets Equity Index gaining 4.50% for the year and the MSCI Emerging Markets Equity Index returned 11.60%. Returns for inflation sensitive (or real) assets were also strongly positive. US REITs (as measured by the NAREIT Composite Index) returned 9.37% for the year, while Commodities (as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Index) increased by 11.40%. The KP Retirement Path Funds were launched during the early part of January 2014 to provide participants in KPsponsored defined contribution plans with diversified exposure to all of these asset classes, as well as a number of others including small cap US equity, natural resource equity, global listed infrastructure, Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, floating rate notes, emerging market debt, and short term bonds. Each of the 10 KP Retirement Path Funds is designed with a specific retirement date in mind, and the asset allocation is automatically adjusted over time to help shareholders achieve the appropriate balance between long-term capital growth, inflation protection, and current income for each stage of their savings and investing career. Since the KP Retirement Path Funds inception we have been pleased with the performance of the operational infrastructure that was assembled to coordinate the activities of the 19 different investment management organizations responsible for the management of the Funds assets. We have also been satisfied from an investment performance perspective. In terms of absolute performance, fiscal year 2016 was generally characterized by positive returns across the major asset classes. Consequently the returns for the KP Retirement Path Funds were all positive for the year, ranging from 5.24% (2015 Fund) to 8.28% (2055 Fund). The Funds underperformed their strategic benchmarks in fiscal year 2016, due to challenging market conditions for active management, and as a result, modestly trail their benchmarks by between 0.07%-0.45% since their inception in January of 2014 (through December 31, 2016). We continue to believe that the KP Retirement Path Funds are well-designed and include a diverse set of complementary asset classes and strategies managed by a highly capable team of sub-advisors. We remain confident that the Funds are well-positioned to achieve their objectives going into 2017 and beyond. Respectfully Submitted, Gregory C. Allen Portfolio Manager President, Director of Research Ivan S. Cliff, CFA Portfolio Manager Director of Investment Research The performance data quoted represents past performance.

4 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited): Performance for the KP Retirement Path Funds for Fiscal Year 2016 was positive across the board on an absolute basis, but was negative on a relative basis compared to the Funds strategic benchmarks. In order to better understand the sources of underperformance for the year it is helpful to review the design of the Funds. Each of the KP Retirement Path Funds is itself a fund-of-funds. This means that each of the Funds is composed of a collection of sub-funds, each with a specific purpose that contributes to the overall design. At the highest level these sub-funds can be grouped into six major categories which include: large cap US equities, small cap US equities, international equities, broad fixed income, real (or inflation sensitive) assets, and short term fixed income. Each of the KP Retirement Path Funds varies its exposure to these asset categories over time to ensure that it is achieving the appropriate balance of capital appreciation, current income, inflation protection, and capital preservation. The 2060 Fund, for example, is primarily invested in large cap US equity, small cap US equity, and international equity. The 2015 Fund, on the other hand, has a much greater emphasis on broad fixed income, real assets, and short term fixed income. The performance of each Fund is compared to its own strategic benchmark. The strategic benchmarks are designed to reflect the target asset allocation for each Fund, while also assuming that each of the underlying asset classes is implemented using a passive index. While Management makes extensive use of passive strategies in the Funds implementation to keep costs low, we also employ a number of active strategies in our attempt to add value relative to the strategic benchmarks. Management does not attempt to add value by trying to time markets using tactical asset allocation. Instead we have designed a sophisticated rebalancing algorithm that keeps the Funds very close to their strategic asset allocation targets over time. As a result, virtually all of the relative performance of the Funds versus their strategic benchmarks can be explained by the relative performance of the strategies within each of the six underlying asset classes. Given this understanding, we can now put the relative performance of the KP Retirement Path Funds into perspective by examining the relative performance of each of the underlying asset classes. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their large cap US equity exposure through the use of the KP Large Cap Equity Fund. This Fund is benchmarked to the Russell 1000 Index. The Fund employs five strategies including: a passive S&P 500 index strategy; an active large cap growth strategy; an active large cap value strategy; and two active large cap blend strategies. The Fund returned 10.04% for the year versus 12.05% for the benchmark. This underperformance of -2.01% at the Fund level was largely explained by the underperformance of the active large cap growth strategy, the active large cap value strategy, and one of the active large cap blend strategies. These strategies trailed their benchmarks for the year by -3.80%, -2.55% and -1.74% respectively. Because large cap is a significant part of the asset allocation for all of the KP Retirement Path Funds, this was a meaningful source of underperformance across the entire fund family. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their small cap US equity exposure through the use of the KP Small Cap Equity Fund. This Fund is benchmarked to the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund employs seven strategies including a passive Russell 2000 strategy, two active small cap growth strategies, two active small cap value strategies, and two active small cap blend strategies. The Fund returned 18.38% for the year versus 21.31% for the benchmark. The underperformance of -2.93% was largely explained by the underperformance of the two active growth strategies and one of the actively managed value strategies. Because small cap is a relatively small part of the asset allocation for the KP Retirement Path Funds, this contributed to, but was not a significant source of relative underperformance across the fund family. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their international equity exposure through the use of the KP International Equity Fund. This Fund is benchmarked to the MSCI ACWI ex-us Index. The Fund employs four strategies including a passive MSCI EAFE strategy, an active MSCI EAFE strategy, an active MSCI ACWI ex-us strategy, and an active emerging markets strategy. The Fund returned 3.03% for the year versus 4.50% for the benchmark. This underperformance of -1.47% was primarily attributable to the active ACWI ex-us strategy which trailed its benchmark by -3.30%, outweighing the outperformance of the active emerging markets strategy, which outperformed its benchmark by 2.43%. Because international equity is a large part of the asset allocation for the KP Retirement Path Funds, this was a significant source of relative underperformance across the fund family. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their broad fixed income exposure through the use of the KP Fixed Income Fund. This Fund is benchmarked to the Bloomberg Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund employs four strategies including a passive Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government/Credit Index strategy, an active Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate strategy, an active emerging markets debt strategy, and an active bank loan strategy. 2

5 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND FUND PERFORMANCE (Unaudited): The KP Fixed Income Fund returned 4.08% for the year versus 2.65% for the benchmark. This outperformance of 1.43% was primarily due to the outperformance of the active Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate strategy, which outperformed its benchmark by 1.02%, as well as the contributions of the active emerging markets debt and active bank loan strategies. Because fixed income is a large part of the asset allocation for the KP Retirement Path Funds, this outperformance had a positive impact on the relative performance of the KP Retirement Path Fund series. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their real assets exposure through the use of a diversified collection of nonaffiliated sub-funds each specializing in a different inflation-sensitive strategy. Collectively these strategies returned 9.10% over the measurement period versus 10.03% for their composite benchmark. The seven underlying real assets funds had a wide range of returns, from 3.08% for the international real estate fund to 25.01% for the global natural resources fund. Because real assets are a relatively small part of the asset allocation for the KP Retirement Path Funds, they had only a modest impact on the relative performance across the series. The KP Retirement Path Funds achieve their short term fixed income exposure through the use of low-cost index strategies. These sub-funds performed in line with their benchmarks and did not have a material effect on the relative performance across the series. To determine if one of these funds is an appropriate investment for you, carefully consider the fund s investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and other information may be found in the fund s summary and full prospectuses, which may be obtained by calling (855)4-KPFNDS or by visiting the website at Please read the prospectus carefully before investing. The KP Retirement Path Funds and the KP Core Funds are mutual funds. They are part of The KP Funds Series Trust, an open-end management investment company that offers shares of diversified portfolios. The funds are advised by Callan Associates Inc., a registered investment advisor. They are administered by SEI Investments Global Funds Services and distributed by SEI investments Distribution Co., which are not affiliated with Callan Associates. Only participants in the Kaiser Permanente defined contribution plans and 403(b) plans can invest in the funds. There can be no assurance that a Fund will achieve its stated objectives. An investor may experience losses, at any time, including near, at or after the Fund s target year. In addition, there is no guarantee that an investor s investment in the fund will provide any income at or through the years following the Fund s target year in amounts adequate to meet the investor s goals or retirement needs. Investing involves risk including loss of principal. Bond and bond funds are subject to interest rate risk and will decline in value as interest rates rise. Mortgage-backed securities are subject to pre-payment and extension risk and therefore react differently to changes in interest rates than other bonds. Small movements in interest rates may quickly and significantly reduce the value of certain mortgage-backed securities. Noninvestment grade bonds involve greater risks of default and are more volatile than investment grade securities, due to the speculative nature of the investment. International investments involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. These risks are heightened when investing in emerging markets or in a single state. Currency risk is the risk that foreign currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency hedged. In either event, the dollar value of an investment in the Underlying Fund would be adversely affected. The use of leverage by the fund managers may accelerate the velocity of potential losses. Furthermore, the use of derivatives are often more volatile than other investments and magnify the Fund s gains or losses. Diversification does not protect against market loss. The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor s shares, when redeemed, may be worth less than their original cost and current performance may be lower than the performance quoted. Returns greater than one year are average annual total returns. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call KPFNDS. 3
