Letter to Shareholders

(Unaudited)

 

To our Shareholders:

 

We are pleased to present you with the Annual Report for the PMC Funds mutual fund family. This report covers both the fiscal quarter and one-year period ended August 31, 2023.

 

The table below presents the standardized performance of the PMC Funds relative to their respective benchmarks. The past twelve month period ended August 31, 2023 has been one in which the global economy has continued to struggle due to the ongoing effects of high inflation. The U.S. consumer has held up the domestic economy in 2023, but warning signs have begun to appear. Consumer confidence declined in August, and job openings were lower in July. In addition, real gross domestic product (GDP)1 for the second quarter 2023 was revised lower to an annual rate of 2.1%, and corporate profits declined. Consumer confidence is notoriously fragile, and if consumers believe their jobs are in jeopardy they will rein in spending. Historically, if consumer confidence declines for several months, this has often presaged an economic downturn. Consumers may be feeling pressure on several fronts, including the potential for a government shutdown at the beginning of the fiscal year in October, the end to the moratorium on student loan repayments, rising mortgage rates that now exceed 7%, the United Auto Workers strike, and the jump in oil prices. Oil prices have risen sharply in recent weeks, and are up 25% from levels earlier in the year. Saudi Arabia has been able to inject additional supply when oil prices get so high that demand is crimped, but it is more difficult for them to manage the price of oil given the sanctions on Russia and the increasing demand coming from China. Economists warn that if oil prices exceed $100 for more than a few weeks consumers will further scale back spending and the economy will have difficulty avoiding recession. Economies in Europe and China also bear close watching. Europe has experienced choppy economic data in 2023, and leading indicators such as the Purchasing Managers Index have recently flashed warning signs. China is also in the throes of an economic slowdown led by another property crisis. Property prices are declining, economic growth is slowing, and the country’s policymakers have stopped reporting weak economic data. Economists question whether China has the levers to pull to reinvigorate growth.

 

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has been actively striving to corral inflation and bring the U.S. economy to a soft landing in the hopes of averting a recession. The FOMC has aggressively raised the federal funds target rate since its low 18 months ago. Over the past year the committee has hiked the rate seven times, from a range of 2.25%-2.50% on August 31, 2022 to its current range of 5.25%-5.50%. Over the past 18 months, the FOMC has raised the fed funds rate a total of 11 times. The consensus among economists is that the recent reduction in inflation means that this cycle of interest rate increases has likely ended unless inflation accelerates once again.

 

Despite the concerns about the economy stock prices have remained resilient throughout this period. After suffering an 18.1% decline in 2022–its steepest drop since 2008–the S&P 500 Index has posted an 18.7% gain so far in 2023. The gains have been decidedly top-heavy, with some of the largest technology companies driving the performance of the index, while the broader market has not generated returns nearly as impressive.

 

The Bureau of Economic Analysis released the second estimate of the second quarter 2023 real GDP, a seasonally adjusted annualized rise of 2.1%, lower than the prior estimate, and in line with the increase in the prior quarter. The employment situation has been lukewarm over the past year. The August employment report showed that employers added 187,000 jobs in the month, and that the unemployment rate was slightly higher at 3.8%. As mentioned above, the FOMC, in its continuing effort to tame inflation, raised its federal funds rate target range by 0.25% in the quarter, to 5.00% to 5.25%, from a range of 4.75% to 5.00%. The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury climbed from 3.2% to 4.1% over the twelve months ended August 31, 2023.

The S&P 500 Index represents a broad cross-section of the U.S. equity market, including common stocks traded on U.S. exchanges. The MSCI World Index captures large and mid-cap representation across 23 Developed Markets countries. The Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is a broad-based flagship benchmark that measures the investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, fixed-rate taxable bond market. An investor cannot invest directly in an index.

 

Past performance is no guarantee of future returns. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. For the most recent month-end performance, please visit the Funds’ website at www.investpmc.com or by calling 888-762-7338.

 

PMC Diversified Equity Fund

 

The PMC Diversified Equity Fund was launched on August 26, 2009, and provides broad equity asset class exposure, diversified globally. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

 

One of the primary drivers of the Fund’s performance is its exposure to the well-known value, momentum and quality asset pricing factors. Over the past year ended August 31, 2023, asset pricing factors have generally performed poorly. The one exception is the quality factor, which is the tendency for stocks of more highly profitable and financially strong companies within an index to outperform those exhibiting less financial strength. The poor factor performance translated into Fund performance that, while strong in absolute terms, lagged that of the benchmark over the twelve-month period ended August 31, 2023. For the most recent three-month period, the Advisor Class of the Fund generated a return of 7.16%, outperforming the 6.99% return of the Fund’s benchmark index, MSCI World Index Net Return. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2023, the Fund generated a total return of 13.94%, underperforming the 15.60% return of the benchmark. The primary driver of the Fund’s performance during the year was the aggregate performance of the asset pricing factors toward which the portfolio is tilted. The Fund has maintained positive tilts to the size, value, momentum and quality factors. The Fund’s orientation toward value stocks was a key detractor from the performance relative to the benchmark, and its exposure to the momentum and quality factors was modestly additive to relative performance. However, performance was negatively impacted by having a lower weighted average market capitalization than the benchmark, as stocks of smaller companies significantly underperformed stocks of larger companies. Relative performance was also disadvantaged during both the most recent three- and six-month periods from a slight underweight to domestic equities relative to European equities. Among the positive contributors to performance during the year were limited underweights to the information technology and communications services sectors. Security selection in the health care, utilities, and real estate sectors also contributed positively to performance during the year. Among the detractors from performance was security selection in the information technology and communications services sectors. As is typically the case, the strategy’s factor orientation resulted in over- or underweights to specific stocks that have a meaningful impact on performance. Over the past twelve months underweights to well-known companies such as NVIDIA Corp. (NVDA), Apple, Inc. (AAPL), and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) resulted in underperformance. However, overweights to PulteGroup, Inc. (PHM), Broadcom, Inc. (AVGO) and D.R. Horton, Inc. (DHI) benefited performance.

In addition to the risk that the investment strategy employed in the Fund will underperform the benchmark index generally, the primary risks continue to primarily involve systematic risk. Because the Fund’s investment adviser controls the risk of the Fund’s portfolio relative to the benchmark, the overall portfolio should track the Fund’s benchmark fairly closely on a relative basis. However, in general market declines the Fund’s fully invested strategy would incur a setback commensurate with the decline in the benchmark.

 

PMC Core Fixed Income Fund

 

The PMC Core Fixed Income Fund provides broad exposure to the core segments of the domestic fixed income market. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide current income consistent with low volatility of principal, and in addition to the Fund’s investment adviser, one sub-adviser manages a portion of the Fund’s assets: Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC.

 

Over the past 12 months ended August 31, 2023, the environment for fixed income securities has once again been marked by significantly rising yields resulting from the FOMC’s decision to aggressively raise short-term interest rates in an effort to combat decades-high inflation. The FOMC recently raised the fed funds rate to a range of 5.25%-5.50%, up a full three percentage points over the level on August 31, 2022. The FOMC’s actions seem to have had a positive impact, as inflation is moderating from the acceleration of a year ago. As a result, many economists believe the FOMC has completed its rate increases for this cycle. Against this backdrop, the Fund generated negative returns for the three-month and one-year periods ended August 31, 2023. For the most recent three-month period, the Advisor Class of the Fund generated a return of -0.68%, slightly outperforming the benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index return of -1.06%. For the twelve months ended August 31, 2023, the Advisor Class of the Fund posted a return of -0.89%, outperforming the benchmark return of -1.19%. The primary factors positively impacting performance over the past 12-month period were an underweight to U.S. Treasury securities and security selection in the corporate bond segment. The primary detractors from performance included the Fund’s aggregate underweight to securitized bonds, and security selection in the U.S. Treasury and government-related securities areas.

 

The primary risks to the strategies employed by the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-advisers remain in place and exist at both the macro level and in individual security selection. Due to the Fund’s aggregate overweight exposure to credit securities, the Fund remains likely to underperform the benchmark somewhat if the Federal Reserve makes a policy misstep, and U.S. Treasury securities consequently rise relative to credits. In addition, if the general level of interest rates continues to rise rapidly, the Fund will not be immune to further losses. Similarly, if certain of the individual credits currently owned by the Fund are adversely affected by economic events, the Fund itself will also be affected.

 

Remarks

 

The U.S. economy is muddling along, with economists having mixed opinions as to whether the FOMC will be able to create conditions that allows the economy to glide to a soft landing or enter a recession. It appears the FOMC has been able to arrest the rise in inflation, with the consensus among economists being that the committee’s rate increase regime has ended. U.S. consumers have been resilient, but confidence is beginning to erode, and is at risk as a result of several factors, including a significant rise in mortgage rates and a surge in oil prices. There are a number of potential downside risks outlined by economists, including a government shutdown at the beginning of the fiscal year in October if Congress cannot come to agreement in the coming weeks; property market weakness in China, which has the potential to impact the global economy; and a continuation in the recent surge in oil prices.

 

As always, we appreciate your continued trust and confidence in the PMC Funds. We will continue to do all we can to ensure that such trust and confidence are well placed and will manage the PMC Funds with that goal clearly in mind.

Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market.

 

Holdings are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please see the schedule of holdings for a full list of fund holdings.

 

Investments in smaller companies carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as volatility of earnings and prospects, higher failure rates, and limited markets, product lines or financial resources. Investing overseas involves special risks, including the volatility of currency exchange rates and, in some cases, limited geographic focus, political and economic instability, and relatively illiquid markets. Income (bond) funds are subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that debt securities in a fund’s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates.

ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF

 

The ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF was launched on May 2, 2023, and provides broad U.S. equity exposure. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

 

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that blends active and passive investment strategies to optimize costs, tracking and potential return over the Fund’s benchmark index, the CRSP U.S. Total Market Index (the “Benchmark Index”). The Fund also employs a factor active strategy for a portion of the investment portfolio. Passive exposure within the large cap sleeve of the portfolio contributed to results and was a driver of the overall performance in the past three months. In the up-trending market environment for U.S. equities over the past three months, passive strategies have been rewarded. The exposure to well-known value, momentum, and quality asset pricing factors was mixed in its relative contribution to performance. Within the small cap sleeve, factor exposure benefited the Fund, whereas factor exposure within large cap detracted from results. The Fund generated results of 8.55% (NAV), slightly outpacing the Benchmark Index return of 8.51% by 4 basis points, for the three-month period ended August 31, 2023.

 

In the trailing three months, contributors to performance include exposure to the Information Technology, Consumer Cyclical, and Financial Services sectors, all of which outperformed the Benchmark Index. Detracting from performance was exposure to the weaker performing Utilities, Consumer Defensive, and Real Estate sectors, all of which lagged the Benchmark Index in the trailing three months. The small cap sleeve’s positive relative performance outpaced the large cap sleeve results and was a key driver of the narrow outperformance.

 

In addition to the risk that the investment strategies employed in the Fund may underperform the Benchmark Index, the primary risks continue to involve systematic risk. Because the Fund’s investment adviser controls the risk of the portfolio relative to the Benchmark Index, the overall portfolio should track the Fund’s benchmark fairly closely on a relative basis. However, in general market declines the Fund’s fully invested strategy would incur a setback commensurate with the decline in the benchmark.

 

ActivePassive International Equity ETF

 

The ActivePassive International Equity ETF was launched on May 2, 2023, and provides broad international equity asset class exposure. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation and in addition to the Fund’s investment adviser, two sub-advisers manage a portion of the Fund’s assets: AllianceBernstein L.P. and Causeway Capital Management LLC.

 

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that blends active and passive investment strategies to optimize costs, tracking and potential return over the Fund’s benchmark index, the S&P Classic ADR Composite Index (USD) NTR (the “Benchmark Index”). The Fund also employs a factor active strategy for a portion of the investment portfolio. Strong relative outperformance from the foreign large value equity sleeve and the emerging market equity sleeve drove much of the outperformance over the prior three-month period. The foreign large growth sleeve underperformed as growth equities generally lagged value equities within international equity markets. European equities generally posted weaker relative performance while stronger relative performance from Latin America contributed to results. Stock selection within China and United Kingdom contributed to relative outperformance while

negative stock selection in France and Germany detracted from results. For the three-month period ended August 31, 2023, the Fund generated performance of 4.70% (NAV), which outpaced the Benchmark Index return of 3.91% by 79 basis points.

 

In addition to the risk that the investment strategies employed in the Fund may underperform the benchmark indices, the primary risks continue to involve systematic risk. Because the Adviser and Sub-advisers control the risk of the portfolio relative to the benchmark, the overall portfolio should track the Fund’s benchmark fairly closely on a relative basis.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that blends active and passive investment strategies to optimize costs, tracking and potential return over the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Benchmark Index”). Strong relative performance from the active manager sleeves as well as the international bond sleeve, with each slightly outperforming the Benchmark Index, contributed to portfolio results. Over the past 3 months the environment for fixed income securities has to been marked by rising yields resulting from the FOMC’s decision to aggressively raise short-term interest rates in an effort to combat decades-high inflation. The FOMC recently raised the fed funds rate to a range of 5.25%-5.50%. The committee’s actions seem to have had a positive impact, as inflation is moderating from the acceleration of a year ago. As a result, many economists believe the FOMC has completed its rate increases for this cycle. Within this environment, the Fund generated results of -0.84% (NAV), outpacing the Benchmark Index return of -1.06% by 22 basis points, for the three-month period ended August 31, 2023. The passively managed sleeve trailed active manager performance as active credit selection and sector positioning proved additive within fixed income. The primary contributors to fund performance include corporate credit exposure and short duration securities, while U.S. Treasury securities and mortgage- and asset-backed securities were the primary detractors from results. Slightly shorter duration positioning within the Fund relative to the Benchmark Index added to performance as longer duration securities lagged amid the rising rate environment.

 

The primary risks to the strategies employed by the Fund remain in place and exist at both the macro level and in individual security selection. Due to the Fund’s aggregate overweight exposure to credit securities, the Fund remains likely to underperform the Benchmark Index somewhat if the Federal Reserve makes a policy misstep, and U.S. Treasury securities consequently rise relative to credits. In addition, if the general level of interest rates continues to rise rapidly, the Fund will not be immune to further losses. Similarly, if certain of the individual credits currently owned by the Fund pare adversely affected by economic events, the Fund itself will also be affected.

 

ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF

 

The ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF was launched on May 2, 2023, and provides broad municipal fixed income asset class exposure. The Fund’s investment objective is current income that is exempt from federal income taxes consistent with low volatility of principal, and in addition to the Fund’s investment adviser, one sub-adviser manages a portion of the Fund assets: GW&K Investment Management, LLC.

Table of Contents

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that blends active and passive investment strategies to optimize costs, tracking and potential return over the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg Municipal 1-10 Year Blend Index (the “Benchmark Index”). Over the past 3 months the environment for fixed income securities has been marked by rising yields, including within the municipal fixed income markets. While the FOMC’s ongoing path to combat inflation will continue to have a factor on yields, the long-term trend in lower supply also continues to influence the direction of the municipal markets. The passively managed and actively managed sleeves both slightly trailed the benchmark over the trailing three months. Lower quality municipal bonds generally outperformed leading to some relative weakness for the higher quality issues in the portfolio. Shorter duration municipals outpaced longer duration amid a rising rate environment. The Fund generated results of -0.01% (NAV), trailing the Benchmark Index return of 0.24% by 25 basis points, for the three-month period ended August 31, 2023.

 

The primary risks to the strategies employed by the Fund remain in place and exist at both the macro level and in individual security selection. Due to the Fund’s exposure to municipal securities, the Fund remains likely to underperform the Benchmark Index somewhat if the Federal Reserve makes a policy misstep and rates moves against positioning in the fund. In addition, if the general level of interest rates continues to rise rapidly, the Fund will not be immune to further losses. Similarly, if certain of the individual securities currently owned by the Fund are adversely affected by economic or municipal-specific events, the Fund itself will also be affected.

 

Remarks

 

The U.S. economy is muddling along, with economists having mixed opinions as to whether the FOMC will be able to create conditions that allows the economy to glide to a soft landing or enter a recession. It appears the FOMC has been able to arrest the rise in inflation, with the consensus among economists being that the committee’s rate increase regime has ended. U.S. consumers have been resilient, but confidence is beginning to erode, and is at risk as a result of several factors, including a significant rise in mortgage rates and a surge in oil prices. There are a number of potential downside risks outlined by economists, including a government shutdown at the beginning of the fiscal year in October if Congress cannot come to agreement in the coming weeks; property market weakness in China, which has the potential to impact the global economy; and a continuation in the recent surge in oil prices.

 

As always, we appreciate your continued trust and confidence in the ActivePassive ETFs. We will continue to do all we can to ensure that such trust and confidence are well placed and will manage the ActivePassive ETFs with that goal clearly in mind.

The views in this report were those of the Funds’ investment adviser and the Funds’ sub-advisers, as applicable, as of the date of this report and may not reflect their views on the date the report is first published or anytime thereafter. These views are intended to assist the shareholders of the Funds in understanding their investments in the Funds and do not constitute investment advice.

 

Quantitative easing is a monetary policy strategy used by central banks to keep credit flowing to the economy.

 

Diversification neither assures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. Holdings are subject to change and are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please see the schedule of holdings for a full list of fund holdings. Investments in smaller companies carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as volatility of earnings and prospects, higher failure rates, and limited markets, product lines or financial resources. Investing overseas involves special risks, including the volatility of currency exchange rates and, in some cases, limited geographic focus, political and economic instability, and relatively illiquid markets. Income (bond) funds are subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that debt securities in a fund’s portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates.

ENVESTNET FUNDS

Expense Examples

(Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the PMC Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (Advisor Class shares only) and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of the ActivePassive ETFs (together with the PMC Funds, the “Funds”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Fund. This Example is 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. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2023 - August 31, 2023).

 

  Actual   Expenses

 

The first lines of the following tables provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds do not charge a sales load, shareholders of the PMC Funds will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the PMC Funds’ transfer agent. Shareholders of the PMC Funds who hold their shares through Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of exchange-traded funds or other investment companies as part of their investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the direct expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the Example. For the PMC Funds, the Example includes, but is not limited to, management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees, fund administration and accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. For the ActivePassive ETFs, the Example includes, but is not limited to, each ActivePassive ETF’s unitary management fee. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

 

  Hypothetical   Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second lines of the following tables provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or exchange fees. Therefore, the second lines of the tables are 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.

(2)   Significant Accounting Policies

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

 

  (a)   Investment Valuation

 

Each security owned by the Funds that is listed on a securities exchange, except for securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”), is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. If the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will use the price of the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded.

 

123


Table of Contents

ENVESTNET FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

August 31, 2023

 

Fund securities listed on the NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day or at the latest sale price on the Composite Market (defined as the consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets as published by an approved pricing service (“Pricing Service”)).

 

Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by an approved Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and the asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. If a price is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation obtained from one or more broker-dealers know to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the mean between the bid and the offer. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the net asset values (“NAVs”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. All exchange-traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded.

 

Futures contracts are valued at the last settlement price at the close of trading on the relevant exchange or board of trade. Futures contracts for which reliable market quotations are not readily available shall each be valued at a price, supplied by a Pricing Service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) which is in the opinion of such Pricing Service representative of the market value of such positions at the time of determination of the NAV, it being the opinion of the Board that the valuations supplied by such Pricing Service accurately reflect the fair value of such position.

 

Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.

 

If market quotations are not readily available, any security or other financial instrument is valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser’s fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Board. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced. The Adviser will regularly evaluate whether the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of each Fund and the quality of prices obtained through application of such procedures.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurement” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
    Level 2—Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
    Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

  ^   The Fund measures Level 3 activity as of the end of each financial reporting period.

 

As of August 31, 2023, the Fund held Level 3 investments that were valued at the most recent trade price in an inactive market. The Level 3 investments in securities represented less than 1% of the Fund’s net assets and were not considered a significant portion of the Fund’s portfolio. As the Level 3 investments were not considered significant to the financial statements, a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for the year ended August 31, 2023 is not presented.

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

Foreign currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar using the applicable currency exchange rate as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time.

The Funds may use certain options, futures and forward foreign currency contracts (collectively, “derivative instruments”) as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying security, to attempt to hedge or limit the exposure of a Fund’s position, to create a synthetic money market position, for certain tax-related purposes and to effect closing transactions.

 

Options and futures prices can diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments. Options and futures prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect or no correlation also may result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded and from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts.

 

The Funds did not hold derivative instruments during the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

  (b)   Foreign Securities and Currency

 

Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

 

The Funds isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those resulting from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

 

Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of the Funds’ investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of the Funds’ assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

 

  (c)   Futures

 

The Funds may enter into futures contracts traded on domestic exchanges, including stock index futures contracts, as a substitute for a comparable market position in the underlying security, to attempt to hedge or limit the exposure of a Fund’s position, to create a synthetic money market position, for certain tax-related purposes and to effect closing transactions. Upon entering into a contract, the Funds deposit and maintain as collateral such initial margin as required by the exchange on which the transaction is effected. Pursuant to the contract, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains and losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it

 

128


Table of Contents

ENVESTNET FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

was closed. A stock index futures contract does not involve the physical delivery of the underlying stocks in the index. As collateral for futures contracts, the Funds are required to maintain assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. This collateral is required to be adjusted daily to reflect the market value of the purchase obligation for long futures contracts or the market value of the instrument underlying the contract, but not less than the market price at which the futures contract was established, for short futures contracts. The Funds did not enter into any futures contracts during the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

The risks inherent in the use of futures contracts include 1) adverse changes in the value of such instruments and 2) the possible absence of a liquid secondary market for any particular instrument at any time. Futures contracts may also expose the Funds to counterparty credit risk. The Funds will not enter into these contracts unless they own either 1) an offsetting position in the securities or 2) the position provides cash and liquid assets with a value marked-to-market daily, sufficient to cover the counter-party’s potential obligations.

 

  (d)   Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

 

The Core Fixed Income Fund might purchase a particular currency or enter into a forward foreign currency contract to preserve the U.S. dollar price of securities it intends to or has contracted to purchase. Alternatively, it might sell a particular currency on either a spot or forward basis to hedge against an anticipated decline in the dollar value of securities it intends to or has contracted to sell. Although this strategy could minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, it could also limit any potential gain from an increase in the value of the currency. When entering into a forward foreign currency contract, the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The risks inherent in the use of currency forward exchange contracts include adverse changes in the value of such instruments and exposure to counterparty credit risk. Forward contracts are subject to the risks that the counterparty to such contract will default on its obligations. Since a forward foreign currency exchange contract is not guaranteed by an exchange or clearing house, a default on the contract would deprive the Fund of unrealized profits, transaction costs or the benefits of a currency hedge or force the Fund to cover its purchase or sale commitments, if any, at the current market price. The Fund did not enter into any forward foreign currency contracts during the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

  (e)   Options

 

The Core Fixed Income Fund may enter into written call options to hedge against changes in the value of equities. The writing of call options is intended to reduce the volatility of the portfolio and to earn premium income. Written call options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty credit risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearing house guarantees the options against default. The Fund may also purchase put options to provide protection against adverse price effects from anticipated changes in prices of securities. In addition, the Fund may enter into written put options to hedge against changes in the value of purchased put options.

 

The Fund may purchase and write call and put options on securities and indices and enter into related closing transactions.

 

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from options written. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less

 

129


Table of Contents

ENVESTNET FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium is deducted from the cost basis of the security purchased. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

When purchasing options, the Fund will recognize a realized loss equal to the premium paid to purchase the option, if the option expires unexercised. The difference between the proceeds received on effecting a closing sale transaction and the premium paid will be recognized as a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium paid is deducted from the proceeds on the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss. The Fund did not enter into any options contracts during the year ended August 31, 2023.

 

  (f)   Security Loans

 

When the PMC Funds loan securities held in their portfolios, the PMC Funds receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of the interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to: (i) 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are foreign securities, or 102% of the market value of any other loaned securities, at the time the securities are loaned; and (ii) 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at all times. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the PMC Funds. The PMC Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. See Note 11 for additional information.

 

  (g)   Federal Income Taxes

 

The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to their shareholders sufficient to relieve them from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

 

As of and during the year ended August 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended August 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The PMC Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax periods prior to the year ended August 31, 2019.

 

  (h)   Distributions to Shareholders

 

The Funds will distribute net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.

 

  (i)   Use of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  (j)   Share Valuation

 

The NAV per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The Funds do not charge a redemption fee, therefore the offering and redemption price per share are equal to a Fund’s net asset value per share.

 

  (k)   Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses

 

Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of each Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Distribution (Rule 12b-1) fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Advisor Class shares of the PMC Funds. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust or other equitable means.

 

  (l)   Other

 

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions on the identified cost basis by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts, premiums and interest-only strips are accreted or amoritzed over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. Gains and losses on principal payments and short-falls of mortgage backed securities (paydown gains and losses) are included as an adjustment to interest income in the Statements of Operations.

 

  (m)   LIBOR Transition

 

Certain instruments in which the Funds may invest previously relied in some fashion upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). As of June 30, 2023, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), as LIBOR administrator, ceased publication of U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR for the most common tenors (overnight and one, three, six and twelve months), and as of December 31, 2021, the IBA had ceased publication of USD LIBOR for the less commonly used tenors of one week and two months as well as all tenors of non-USD LIBOR. Until September 30, 2024, the IBA will continue to publish the one-month, three-month and six-month USD LIBOR tenors using a synthetic methodology that is permanently unrepresentative of the underlying markets such tenors previously sought to measure. The U.S. Congress passed the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act on March 15, 2022. The LIBOR Act replaces references to LIBOR for U.S. contracts that did not mature before June 30, 2023 with benchmark replacements based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities and is published daily by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The benchmark replacement rate may not have the same value or economic equivalence as LIBOR. The transition from LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets, including increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates and a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments. The transition to an alternative interest rate may not be orderly, may occur over various time periods or may have unintended consequences.

Also, the Funds recognized no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in fiscal year 2023. At August 31, 2023, the fiscal years 2020 through 2023 remain open to examination in the Funds’ major tax jurisdictions. 

 

(4)   Investment Adviser

 

The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”), on behalf of the PMC Funds, with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the PMC Funds. Under terms of the Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the PMC Funds, the Adviser is entitled to receive from the Diversified Equity Fund a management fee equal to 0.53% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and is entitled to receive from the Core Fixed Income Fund a management fee equal to 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s net assets are $2,500,000,000 or less; 0.625% if the Fund’s net assets are greater than $2,500,000,000 but less than $5,000,000,000; and 0.60% if the Fund’s assets are greater than $5,000,000,000.

 

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse other expenses of each PMC Fund at least through December 29, 2023 to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, Rule 12b-1 plan fees, shareholder servicing plan fees, taxes, leverage, interest, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, expenses incurred in connections with any merger or reorganizations, dividends or interest on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) do not exceed 0.60% for the Core Fixed Income Fund and 0.73% for the Diversified Equity Fund (the “Expense Limitation Cap”) of each Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Adviser to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a fiscal period do not exceed the lesser of: (1) the Expense Limitation Cap in place at the time of the waiver or reimbursement or (2) the Expense Limitation Cap in place at the time of recoupment; provided, however, that the Adviser shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts over the following three year period from the date of the waiver or reimbursement.

 

The following table shows the remaining waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery expiring by:

   $ 1,216,182      $  

 

Sub-advisory services are provided to the Core Fixed Income Fund, pursuant to an agreement between the Adviser and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). Under the terms of the sub-advisory agreement, the Adviser compensates the Sub-Adviser based on the Fund’s average daily net assets.

(7)   Creation and Redemption Transactions

 

Shares of the ActivePassive ETFs are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. The ActivePassive ETFs issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of each ActivePassive ETF will be equal to the ActivePassive ETF’s total assets minus the ActivePassive ETF’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places.

 

Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the ActivePassive ETFs. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not

 

136


Table of Contents

ENVESTNET FUNDS

 

Notes to Financial Statements, continued

August 31, 2023

 

qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the ActivePassive ETFs. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.

 

Creation Unit Transaction Fee

 

Authorized Participants will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee for each ActivePassive ETF is $500.

 

An additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 3% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial purchase of Creation Units. For orders comprised entirely of cash, a variable fee of 0.25% of the value of the order will be charged by each ActivePassive ETF. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes) involved with buying the securities with cash. Each ActivePassive ETF may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of the ActivePassive ETF’s shareholders.

 

A creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the ActivePassive ETFs and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of each ActivePassive ETF will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the ActivePassive ETF’s deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If the ActivePassive ETFs or their agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and the authorized participant shall be liable to the ActivePassive ETFs for losses, if any.

(9)   Line of Credit

 

At August 31, 2023, the Core Fixed Income Fund and Diversified Equity Fund had unsecured lines of credit in the lesser amount of $20,000,000 and $35,000,000, respectively, or 33.33% of the fair value of unencumbered assets of each Fund, as defined, which both mature August 5, 2024. These unsecured lines of credit are intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions. The credit facility is with the Funds’ custodian, US Bank. Interest was scheduled to be incurred at the bank’s prime rate of 5.50% from September 1, 2022 through September 21, 2022, 6.25% from September 22, 2022 through November 2, 2022, 7.00% from November 3, 2022 through December 14, 2022, 7.50% from December 15, 2022 through February 1, 2023, 7.75% from February 2, 2023 through March 22, 2023, 8.00% from March 23, 2023 through May 3, 2023, 8.25% from May 4, 2023 through July 26, 2023, 8.50% from July 27, 2023 through August 31, 2023. The following table provides information regarding usage of the line of credit for the year ended August 31, 2023 for the Funds.

(10)   Beneficial Ownership

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At August 31, 2023, National Financial Services, LLC, for the benefit of its customers, held 43.02% and 94.79%, respectively, of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s outstanding Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares. At August 31, 2023, National Financial Services, LLC, for the benefit of its customers, held 54.43% and 93.65%, respectively, of the PMC Diversified Equity Fund’s outstanding Advisor Class and Institutional Class shares.

 

(11)   Securities Lending

 

Pursuant to the terms of a securities lending agreement with U.S. Bank, each PMC Fund may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions in order to increase the return on its portfolio, primarily through the receipt of borrowing fees and earnings on invested collateral. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned by a PMC Fund. During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the applicable PMC Fund any accrued income on those securities, and the PMC Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral. In determining whether or not to lend a security to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, the Adviser considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the broker, dealer or financial institution.

 

Securities lending involves the risk of a default or insolvency of the borrower. In either of these cases, a PMC Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities. A PMC Fund also could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities. Additionally, the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to a PMC Fund on a timely basis and that PMC Fund may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any decline in the value of a security that occurs while the security is out on loan would continue to be borne by the applicable PMC Fund.

As of August 31, 2023, the value of the securities on loan and value of collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

 

     Loaned Securities
Value

     Value of Cash Collateral
     % of Net Assets
 

Core Fixed Income Fund

   $ 48,899,480      $ 49,844,301        12.96

Diversified Equity Fund

   $ 195,341,462      $ 200,726,076        22.43

 

The PMC Funds receive cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC as noted on the Schedules of Investments. The investment objective is to seek to maximize current income with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00 per unit. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous.

 

The PMC Funds are not subject to a master netting agreement with respect to securities lending; therefore, no additional disclosures regarding netting arrangements are required.

 

The net fee and interest income earned by the PMC Funds on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them are reflected in the PMC Funds’ Statements of Operations.

 

(12)   Recent Market Events

 

U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including rising inflation, uncertainty regarding central banks’ interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. The global recovery from COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on your account.

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31,

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (PMC FUNDS)

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 17, 2023 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund (the “Core Fixed Income Fund”) and the PMC Diversified Equity Fund (the “Diversified Equity Fund”) (each, a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and Envestnet Asset Management, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). The Trustees also met at a prior meeting held on June 22, 2023 (the “June 22, 2023 Meeting”) to review materials related to the renewal of the Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Agreement, detailed comparative information relating to the Funds’ performance, as well as the management fees and other expenses of the Funds, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire completed on behalf of the Funds by the Adviser, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select financial statements of the Adviser, biographical information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, comparative fee information for the Funds and a summary detailing key provisions of the Adviser’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Agreement renewal process, including performance, management fee and other expense information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Funds’ other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the continuation of the Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2024.

 

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

 

In considering the renewal of the Agreement and reaching their conclusions, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUNDS

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the amount of time devoted to the Funds’ operation by the Adviser’s staff. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Funds, including its recommendations with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s sub-adviser and its oversight of investment strategies implemented by the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s sub-adviser. The Trustees also considered the qualifications of key personnel at the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds, including Brandon R. Thomas, who serves as a portfolio manager to the Diversified Equity Fund and for the segment of the Core Fixed Income Fund’s assets managed by the Adviser, and Janis Zvingelis, who serves as a portfolio manager to the Diversified Equity Fund. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser in a due diligence questionnaire, including the structure of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Trustees noted that during the course of the prior year the Adviser had participated in a Trust board meeting to discuss the Funds’ performance and outlook, along with the compliance efforts made by the Adviser, including reports provided by the Adviser in its role as the Funds’ valuation designee. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the brokerage practices of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed the Adviser’s handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust’s chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of the Adviser’s compliance program and oversight of the compliance program of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s sub-adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s overall financial condition, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the Adviser’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and managing the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund under the “manager of managers” structure and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND THE ADVISER

 

The Trustees discussed the performance of the Advisor Class shares of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund and PMC Diversified Equity Fund for the quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by the Adviser, the Trustees also compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the Advisor Class shares of the Funds on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund and the MSCI World Index Net Return for the PMC Diversified Equity Fund) and in comparison to a peer group of funds as constructed using publicly-available data provided by Morningstar, Inc. and presented by Barrington Financial Group, LLC d/b/a Barrington Partners, an independent third-party benchmarking firm, through its cohort selection process (a peer group of U.S. open-end intermediate core-plus bond and intermediate core bond funds for the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund and a peer group of U.S. open-end global large-cap stock blend, global large-cap stock value and large-cap value funds for the PMC Diversified Equity Fund) (each, a “Barrington Cohort”). The Trustees noted that the Adviser did not manage any other accounts with the same or similar investment strategies as either Fund.

 

The Trustees noted the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares for each of the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2023 was above the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for each of the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, the Institutional Class shares of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund had underperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Trustees then noted that for the three-year period ended March 31, 2023, the Institutional Class shares of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund had outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

 

The Trustees noted the PMC Diversified Equity Fund’s performance for Institutional Class shares for each of the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2023 was above the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the quarter and since inception period ended March 31, 2023, the Institutional Class shares of the PMC Diversified Equity Fund had underperformed the MSCI World Index Net Return. The Trustees noted that for the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2023, the Institutional Class shares of the PMC Diversified Equity Fund had outperformed the MSCI World Index Net Return.

 

After considering all of the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by the Adviser for each Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions and that the Adviser has developed the necessary expertise and resources in selecting and managing the sub-adviser to the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund and providing investment advisory services in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and strategies. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s continued management.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER

 

The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses and Barrington Cohort comparisons. The Trustees considered the cost structure of each Fund relative to its Barrington Cohort, as well as any fee waivers, expense reimbursements and expense recoupments of the Adviser. In reviewing the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s fees and total expense structure, the Trustees took into account the Fund’s “manager of managers” structure, noting that the Adviser pays the Fund’s sub-advisory fees out of its own management fees, and that the Fund was not directly responsible for payment of any sub-advisory fees.

 

The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser and reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and noted that the Adviser had subsidized each Fund’s operations since inception and had not yet fully recouped those subsidies for the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement and the expense subsidizations undertaken by the Adviser, as well as the Funds’ brokerage practices, noting that the Adviser makes no effort to seek soft dollar arrangements. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees and the Funds’ administrator specifically for the June 22, 2023 meeting and the August 17, 2023 meeting at which the Advisory Agreement was formally considered, as well as the reports prepared by the Adviser over the course of the year.

Table of Contents

The Trustees noted that the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.65% was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.39%. The Trustees noted that the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund was operating above its expense cap of 0.60% for Institutional Class shares. The Trustees observed that the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s total expense ratio (net of fee waivers and expense reimbursements) of 0.60% was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.48%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund to the fees associated with the Adviser’s fixed-income separately-managed account portfolios.

 

The Trustees noted that the PMC Diversified Equity Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.53% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.69%. The Trustees noted that the PMC Diversified Equity Fund was operating below its expense cap of 0.73% for Institutional Class shares. The Trustees observed that the PMC Diversified Equity Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.68% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.83%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the PMC Diversified Equity Fund to the fees associated with the Adviser’s equity/balanced separately-managed account portfolios.

 

The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s expenses and the management fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information and, with respect to the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund, considering the Fund’s “manager-of-managers” structure. The Trustees further concluded, based on a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, that the Adviser’s profits from sponsoring each of the Funds were not excessive and that the Adviser maintained adequate profit levels to support the services to the Funds from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business, despite its subsidies to support the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s operations.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUNDS GROW

 

The Trustees compared each Fund’s expenses relative to its peer group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of each Fund’s management fee and whether each Fund was large enough to generate economies of scale for shareholders or whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale were being or would be shared with shareholders). The Trustees reviewed all fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Adviser, as applicable, with respect to the Funds. The Trustees noted that the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund’s management fee structure contained breakpoint reductions as the Fund’s assets grow in size, and that while the PMC Diversified Equity Fund’s did not, the feasibility of incorporating breakpoints would continue to be reviewed on a regular basis. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s management fee structures were reasonable and reflected a sharing of economies of scale between the Adviser and each Fund at the Fund’s current asset level.

 

5. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS

 

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by the Adviser from its association with the Funds. The Trustees examined the brokerage practices of the Adviser with respect to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition and increased ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Funds.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Funds’ surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2024 as being in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (PMC CORE FIXED INCOME FUND)

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 17, 2023 to consider the renewal of the sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), entered into between Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“Envestnet”), the Fund’s investment adviser and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), the Fund’s sub-adviser. The Trustees also met at a prior meeting held on June 22, 2023 (the “June 22, 2023 Meeting”) to review materials related to the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials relating to NBIA (including a due questionnaire, Form ADV, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, a summary detailing key provisions of NBIA’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement renewal process, including performance information for the Fund. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by Envestnet and NBIA, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2024.

 

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

 

In considering the renewal of the sub-advisory agreements between Envestnet, on behalf of the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund, and the Core Fixed Income Fund’s sub-adviser, NBIA, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that it determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY NBIA

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by NBIA to the Fund. The Trustees considered NBIA’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of David M. Brown, Thanos Bardas, Nathan Kush and Olumide Owolabi, and other key personnel at NBIA. The Trustees noted that NBIA was the sole third-party sub-adviser to the Fund and was responsible for managing approximately 88% of the Fund’s portfolio, with Envestnet managing the remaining portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees also considered information provided by NBIA at the June 15, 2023 meeting and the August 17, 2023 meeting at which the Sub-Advisory Agreement was formally considered, relating to the investment objective and strategies for the Fund, brokerage practices and compliance and risk management. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management. The Trustees also considered the overall financial condition, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the business continuity plan for NBIA. The Trustees concluded that NBIA had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance programs essential to performing its duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of investment management services provided by NBIA to the Fund were satisfactory.

 

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND NBIA

 

The Trustees discussed the Fund’s performance, including the performance relating specifically to the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA. The Trustees discussed the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA for the quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index) and in comparison to a separate sub-advised fund with similar investment strategies to that utilized by NBIA in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted that for the quarter, three-year, five-year, ten-year, and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA outperformed the benchmark index. The Trustees also noted that for the

 

145


Table of Contents

one-year period ended March 31, 2023, the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA underperformed the benchmark index. The Trustees noted the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA generally outperformed the historical performance of a composite of other separately-managed accounts of NBIA that were the same or similar to the Fund in terms of investment strategies.

 

After considering all the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by NBIA for the Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the continued management of Fund assets by NBIA.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY NBIA

 

The Trustees reviewed and considered the sub-advisory fees payable by Envestnet to NBIA under the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Envestnet had previously confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under the Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services performed by NBIA. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Envestnet, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to NBIA. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services provided by NBIA or the profitability of its relationship with the Fund to be material factors for consideration given that NBIA is not affiliated with Envestnet and, therefore, the sub-advisory fees were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees paid to NBIA by Envestnet were reasonable in light of the services provided by NBIA.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS

 

Since the sub-advisory fees payable to NBIA are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

 

5. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

 

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by NBIA from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits that NBIA may receive, such as greater name recognition and increased ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with NBIA, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with NBIA for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2024 as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS)

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on January 19, 2023 to consider the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF, ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF, ActivePassive International Equity ETF and ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF (collectively, the “ActivePassive ETFs” or the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and Envestnet Asset Management, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser (the “Adviser”). In advance of the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement, including a memorandum provided by the Funds’ legal counsel, which outlined the Trustees’ responsibilities in considering the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement, as well as the management fees and other expenses of the Funds, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire completed on behalf of the Funds by the Adviser, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select financial statements of the Adviser, biographical information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, comparative fee information for each Fund and the Adviser’s other separately-managed accounts and a summary detailing key provisions of the Adviser’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information. In considering approval of the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement, the Trustees also reviewed the Trust’s post effective amendment to its Form N-1A registration statement, including the prospectus and statement of additional information included therein, relating to the initial registration of the Funds.

 

Based on its evaluation of information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Funds’ other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement for an initial term ending two years following the Funds’ commencement of operations pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the ActivePassive ETFs and the amount of time devoted by the Adviser’s staff to the ActivePassive ETFs’ operations. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of each ActivePassive ETF, including its recommendations with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of one or more sub-advisers to the ActivePassive ETFs and its oversight of investment strategies implemented by any such sub-advisers. The Trustees also considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Brandon R. Thomas, Janis Zvingelis, Greg Classen, and Tim Murphy, who serve as co-portfolio managers for the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF and for the segment of the assets managed by the Adviser for each of the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF, ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF and ActivePassive International Equity ETF, and other key personnel at the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the ActivePassive ETFs. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser in a due diligence questionnaire, including the structure of the Adviser’s compliance program and discussed the Adviser’s commitment to the growth of assets for each ActivePassive ETF. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the overall capability of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed the Adviser’s handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust’s chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of the Adviser’s compliance program with respect to other series of the Trust managed by the Adviser. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s overall financial condition, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the Adviser’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided to the ActivePassive ETFs, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.

 

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS AND THE ADVISER

 

The Trustees noted that the ActivePassive ETFs had not yet commenced operations and, therefore, that performance of the ActivePassive ETFs was not a relevant factor for consideration. In assessing the portfolio

 

147


Table of Contents

management services to be provided by the Adviser, the Trustees considered the investment management experience of Messrs. Thomas, Zvingelis, Classen, and Murphy, who will serve as co-portfolio managers for the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF and for the segment of the assets managed by the Adviser for each of the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF, ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF and ActivePassive International Equity ETF. The Trustees also discussed the Adviser’s process for identifying, recommending, and monitoring one or more sub-advisers for each ActivePassive ETF, as applicable, and for allocating and reallocating assets among such sub-advisers consistent with each ActivePassive ETF’s investment objectives and strategies. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s role in assessing each sub-adviser’s investment style and historical performance and in allocating each ActivePassive ETF’s assets to such sub-adviser on the basis of the particular strategy assigned to it as well as the strategies assigned to other sub-advisers for such ActivePassive ETF, as applicable. The Trustees noted that the Adviser did not manage any other accounts with the same or similar investment strategies as the ActivePassive ETFs. After considering all of the information, the Trustees determined that each ActivePassive ETF and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s management.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER

 

The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s proposed management fee, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to each ActivePassive ETF. The Trustees took into consideration that the management fee was a “unitary management fee” whereby the Adviser agrees to pay all expenses incurred by each ActivePassive ETF, except the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser and certain other costs of each ActivePassive ETF, specifically interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses and any Rule 12b-1 plan fees. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses, expense components and peer group selection. The Trustees also considered the cost structure of each ActivePassive ETF relative to a peer group of funds as constructed using publicly-available data provided by Morningstar, Inc. and presented by Barrington Financial Group, LLC d/b/a Barrington Partners, an independent third-party benchmarking firm, through its cohort selection process (a peer group of U.S. intermediate core bond and intermediate core-plus bond exchange-traded funds for the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF, a peer group of U.S. municipal national intermediate bond exchange-traded funds for the ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF, a peer group of U.S. foreign large blend exchange-traded funds for the ActivePassive International Equity ETF, and a peer group of U.S. large blend, mid-cap value, large value and large growth exchange-traded funds for the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF) (each, a “Barrington Cohort”).

 

The Trustees noted that the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF’s proposed contractual management fee of 0.35% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.37%. The Trustees further noted that the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF’s proposed unitary fee structure will limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 0.35% of the Fund’s average annual assets and was lower than the Barrington Cohort average of 0.38%.

 

The Trustees noted that the ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF’s proposed contractual management fee of 0.35% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.40%. The Trustees further noted that the ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF’s proposed unitary fee structure will limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 0.35% of the Fund’s average annual assets and was lower than the Barrington Cohort average of 0.36%.

 

The Trustees noted that the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF’s proposed contractual management fee of 0.30% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.46%. The Trustees further noted that the ActivePassive U.S. Equity ETF’s proposed unitary fee structure will limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 0.30% of the Fund’s average annual assets and was lower than the Barrington Cohort average of 0.51%.

 

The Trustees noted that the ActivePassive International Equity ETF’s proposed contractual management fee of 0.45% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.47%. The Trustees further noted that the ActivePassive International Equity ETF’s proposed unitary fee structure will limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses to 0.45% of the Fund’s average annual assets and was lower than the Barrington Cohort average of 0.47%.

 

148


Table of Contents

The Trustees also considered the overall profitability that may result from the Adviser’s management of each ActivePassive ETF and reviewed the Adviser’s financial information. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement anticipated by the Adviser.

 

The Trustees concluded that the estimated expenses and the proposed management fees paid to the Adviser for each ActivePassive ETF were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information and the investment management services to be provided to each ActivePassive ETF by the Adviser. The Trustees noted, based on a pro forma profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, that the Adviser did not anticipate that the ActivePassive ETFs would be profitable to the Adviser during each ActivePassive ETF’s first twelve months of operation, but the Adviser maintained adequate profit levels to support its services to each ActivePassive ETF.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS GROW

 

The Trustees compared each ActivePassive ETF’s estimated expenses relative to its peer group and discussed economies of scale. The Trustees noted that each ActivePassive ETF’s proposed management fee structure did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund’s assets grow in size, but that the feasibility of incorporating breakpoints would be reviewed on a regular basis. With respect to the Adviser’s fee structure, the Trustees concluded that the potential economies of scale with respect to each ActivePassive ETF were acceptable.

 

5. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS

 

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by the Adviser from its association with the ActivePassive ETFs. The Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the ActivePassive ETFs.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the approval of the ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the ActivePassive ETFs’ surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed ActivePassive ETFs Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of each ActivePassive ETF and its shareholders.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (ACTIVEPASSIVE ETFS)

 

ActivePassive Core Bond ETF—Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on January 19, 2023 to consider the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF (the “Fund”) entered into between Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), a sub-adviser to the Fund, and to consider the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sage Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) for the Fund entered into between the Adviser and Sage Advisory Services, Ltd Co. (“Sage”), a sub-adviser to the Fund. Prior to the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, due diligence materials relating to each of NBIA and Sage (including a due questionnaire, Form ADV, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, a summary detailing key provisions of each of NBIA’s and Sage’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information.

 

Based on its evaluation of information provided by NBIA and Sage, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved each of the NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sage Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term ending two years following the Fund’s commencement of operations pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS TO THE FUND

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by NBIA and Sage to the ActivePassive Core Bond ETF (the “Fund”). The Trustees considered NBIA’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Nathan Kush, David M. Brown, and Thanos Bardas, who would serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by NBIA, and other key personnel at NBIA. The Trustees also considered Sage’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Robert G. Smith III and Thomas H. Urano, who would serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by Sage, and other key personnel at Sage.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by each of NBIA and Sage and included in a due diligence questionnaire, relating to each of their investment strategies for the Fund, brokerage practices and compliance and risk management programs. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management. The Trustees also considered the overall financial condition of each of NBIA and Sage, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of each firm’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that each of NBIA and Sage had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance programs essential to performing their duties under each Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of investment management services to be provided by each of NBIA and Sage to the Fund were satisfactory.

 

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE SUB-ADVISERS

 

The Trustees did not consider the performance of the Fund, as it has no performance history. However, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and experience of the personnel of NBIA and Sage, as well as information concerning the performance history of NBIA and Sage with respect to a sub-advised registered

 

150


Table of Contents

investment company and separately managed accounts, respectively, that use a strategy similar to the strategy NBIA and Sage will apply to its respective segment of Fund assets. After considering all of the information provided to them, the Trustees concluded that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from each of NBIA’s and Sage’s management of the Fund’s portfolio.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS

 

The Trustees then considered the cost of services and the structure of the proposed sub-advisory fees schedules for each of NBIA and Sage, under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Envestnet had confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under the NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sage Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services to be performed by each of NBIA and Sage. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Envestnet, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to each of NBIA and Sage. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services to be provided by each of NBIA and Sage or their profitability from their relationship with the Fund because the Trustees did not consider these factors as relevant. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid to each of NBIA and Sage by Envestnet were reasonable in light of the services to be provided by NBIA and Sage.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS

 

Since the sub-advisory fees payable to each of NBIA and Sage are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

 

5. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

 

The Trustees next considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by each of NBIA and Sage from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits each of NBIA and Sage may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

In considering the NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sage Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances, including the recommendation of Envestnet with respect to each of NBIA and Sage. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved each of the proposed NBIA Sub-Advisory Agreement and the Sage Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF—Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on January 19, 2023 to consider the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the ActivePassive Intermediate Municipal Bond ETF (the “Fund”) entered into between Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and GW&K Investment Management, LLC (“GW&K”), the sub-adviser to the Fund. Prior to the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement, due diligence materials relating to GW&K (including a due questionnaire, Form ADV, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, a summary detailing key provisions of GW&K’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information.

 

Based on its evaluation of information provided by GW&K, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term ending two years following the Fund’s commencement of operations pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SUB-ADVISER TO THE FUND

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by GW&K to the Fund. The Trustees considered GW&K’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of John B. Fox, Kara M. South, Martin R. Tourigny, Nancy G. Angell, and Brian T. Moreland, who would serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by GW&K, and other key personnel at GW&K.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by GW&K and included in a due diligence questionnaire, relating to GW&K’s investment strategies for the Fund, brokerage practices and compliance and risk management programs. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management. The Trustees also considered the overall financial condition of GW&K, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the firm’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that GW&K had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance program essential to performing its duties under the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of investment management services to be provided by GW&K to the Fund were satisfactory.

 

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE SUB-ADVISER

 

The Trustees did not consider the performance of the Fund, as it has no performance history. However, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and experience of the personnel of GW&K, as well as information concerning the performance history of GW&K with respect to separately managed accounts that use a strategy similar to the strategy GW&K will apply to its respective segment of Fund assets. After considering all of the information provided to them, the Trustees concluded that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from GW&K’s management of the Fund’s portfolio.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE SUB-ADVISER

 

The Trustees then considered the cost of services and the structure of the proposed sub-advisory fees schedule for GW&K, under the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Envestnet had confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services to be performed by GW&K. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Envestnet, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to GW&K.

Table of Contents

Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services to be provided by GW&K or its profitability from its relationship with the Fund because the Trustees did not consider these factors as relevant. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid to GW&K by Envestnet were reasonable in light of the services to be provided by GW&K.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS

 

Since the sub-advisory fees payable to GW&K are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

 

5. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

 

The Trustees next considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by GW&K from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits GW&K may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

In considering the GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances, including the recommendation of Envestnet with respect to GW&K. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the proposed GW&K Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

ActivePassive International Equity ETF—Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement

 

The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on January 19, 2023 to consider the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement”) for the ActivePassive International Equity ETF (the “Fund”) entered into between Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and Causeway Capital Management LLC (“Causeway”), a sub-adviser to the Fund, and to consider the initial approval of the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “AllianceBernstein Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together with the Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) for the Fund entered into between the Adviser and AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AllianceBernstein”), a sub-adviser to the Fund. Prior to the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of each Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, due diligence materials relating to each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein (including a due questionnaire, Form ADV, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, a summary detailing key provisions of each of Causeway’s and AllianceBernstein’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information.

 

Based on its evaluation of information provided by Causeway and AllianceBernstein, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved each of the Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement and the AllianceBernstein Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term ending two years following the Fund’s commencement of operations pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

 

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS TO THE FUND

 

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Causeway and AllianceBernstein to the Fund. The Trustees considered Causeway’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Sarah Ketterer, Harry Hartford, Jonathan Eng, Conor Muldoon, Alessandro Valentini, Ellen Lee, Steven Nguyen, and Brian Cho, who would serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by Causeway, and other key personnel at Causeway. The Trustees also considered AllianceBernstein’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Dev Chakrabarti, who would serve as the portfolio manager for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by AllianceBernstein, and other key personnel at AllianceBernstein.

 

The Trustees also considered information provided by each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein and included in a due diligence questionnaire, relating to each of their investment strategies for the Fund, brokerage practices and compliance and risk management programs. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management. The Trustees also considered the overall financial condition of each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of each firm’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance programs essential to performing their duties under each Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of investment management services to be provided by each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein to the Fund were satisfactory.

 

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE SUB-ADVISERS

 

The Trustees did not consider the performance of the Fund, as it has no performance history. However, the Trustees reviewed the qualifications, backgrounds and experience of the personnel of Causeway and AllianceBernstein, as well as information concerning the performance history of Causeway and AllianceBernstein with respect to separately managed accounts that use a strategy similar to the strategy Causeway and

Table of Contents

AllianceBernstein will apply to its respective segment of Fund assets. After considering all of the information provided to them, the Trustees concluded that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from each of Causeway’s and AllianceBernstein’s management of the Fund’s portfolio.

 

3. COSTS OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS

 

The Trustees then considered the cost of services and the structure of the proposed sub-advisory fees schedules for each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein, under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Envestnet had confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under the Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement and the AllianceBernstein Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services to be performed by each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Envestnet, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services to be provided by Causeway and AllianceBernstein or their profitability from their relationship with the Fund because the Trustees did not consider these factors as relevant. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees to be paid to each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein by Envestnet were reasonable in light of the services to be provided by Causeway and AllianceBernstein.

 

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS

 

Since the sub-advisory fees payable to each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

 

5. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

 

The Trustees next considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein may receive, such as greater name recognition or the ability to attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.

 

CONCLUSIONS

 

In considering the Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement and the AllianceBernstein Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances, including the recommendation of Envestnet with respect to each of Causeway and AllianceBernstein. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved each of the proposed Causeway Sub-Advisory Agreement and the AllianceBernstein Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program—PMC Funds

(Unaudited)

 

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Trust Program”). As required under the Trust Program, Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (“Envestnet”), the investment adviser to the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund and PMC Diversified Equity Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program tailored specifically to each Fund (the “Adviser Program”). The Adviser Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for each Fund and to protect Fund shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust has approved Envestnet as the administrator for the Adviser Program (the “Program Administrator”). The Program Administrator has further delegated administration of the Adviser Program to an appointed committee of officers of the Adviser. The Program Administrator also requires the investment sub-adviser to the PMC Core Fixed Income Fund, specifically Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers, LLC, to adopt a liquidity risk management program applicable to the Fund and to provide portfolio investment classification information to the Program Administrator on a monthly basis. The Program Administrator is required to provide a written annual report to the Board and the Trust’s chief compliance officer regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Adviser Program, including the operation of each Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum, if applicable, and any material changes to the Adviser Program.

 

On April 20, 2023, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s written annual report for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Report”). The Report provided an assessment of each Fund’s liquidity risk: the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Adviser Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. The Program Administrator has retained ICE Data Services, Inc., a third party vendor, to provide portfolio investment classification services, and the Report noted that each Fund primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period. The Report noted that each Fund’s portfolio is expected to continue to primarily hold highly liquid investments and the determination that each Fund be designated as a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in Rule 22e-4) remains appropriate and each Fund can therefore continue to rely on the exclusion in Rule 22e-4 from the requirements to determine and review a highly liquid investment minimum for the Fund and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a highly liquid investment minimum shortfall. The Report noted that there were no breaches of a Fund’s restriction on holding illiquid investments exceeding 15% of its net assets during the review period. The Report confirmed that each Fund’s investment strategy was appropriate for an open-end management investment company. The Report also indicated that no material changes had been made to the Adviser Program during the review period.

 

The Program Administrator determined that each Fund is reasonably likely to be able to meet redemption requests without adversely affecting non-redeeming Fund shareholders through significant dilution. The Program Administrator concluded that the Adviser Program was adequately designed and effectively implemented during the review period.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.
