Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding the expenses associated with the Fund’s investment in other investment companies referred to as “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses,” interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for the Fund to 1.00% of the Fund’s Retail Class shares’ and 0.75% for the Institutional Class shares’ average net assets, (the “Expense Caps”).  The Expense Caps will remain in effect until at least October 31, 2014.  The Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Board of Trustees upon 60 days’ written notice to the Advisor, or by the Advisor with the consent of the Board.

Example
The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the All Cap Opportunity Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the All Cap Opportunity Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Caps for the first two years).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 
1 Year
3 Years
Retail Class Shares
$102
$629
Institutional Shares
$77
$552

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
Principal Investment Strategies
The All Cap Opportunity Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities. The Fund’s investment premise is that market inefficiencies exist between fixed income and equity valuations which, if properly identified, can lead to investment opportunities which can be exploited.  An analysis of a company’s entire capital structure can provide a unique insight into a purchase or sell decision of a particular stock.  Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (“the Advisor”) seeks to uncover these inefficiencies for the Fund, and identify equity investment opportunities which may provide the opportunity for long term capital appreciation.  The Fund invests primarily in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies, irrespective of market capitalization size or industry sector.  The All Cap Opportunity Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investment-grade debt securities, such as commercial paper or corporate debt securities.  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).  The All Cap Opportunity Fund is “opportunistic” and may focus its investments in securities and industries that the Advisor believes are poised to experience earnings growth.  The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to a determination that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged to be more attractive than a current holding.

Principal Risks of Investing in the All Cap Opportunity Fund
There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.  The principal risks of an investment in the Fund include:

·  
Equity Market Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value.  The stock market may experience declines or stocks in a Fund’s portfolio may not increase their earnings at the rate anticipated;

·  
General Market Risk: The market price of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.  These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time;

·  
Management Risk: The portfolio manager’s ability to identify valuation inefficiencies and its judgment as to the growth potential or value of a stock proves to be wrong;

·  
Small and Medium Company Risk: Securities of small and medium cap companies may possess comparatively greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of companies that have larger market capitalizations and/or that are traded on major stock exchanges;

·  
Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign securities, including ADRs, involve additional risks, including currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards, and less-strict regulation of securities markets;

·  
Debt/Fixed Income Securities Risk: An increase in interest rates typically causes a fall in the value of the debt securities in which the Fund may invest.  The value of your investment in the Fund may change in response to changes in the credit ratings of the Fund’s portfolio of debt securities; and

·  
Regulatory Risk: Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security.

Performance Information
Because the Fund recently commenced operations, it does not have a full calendar year of performance to compare against a broad measure of market performance.  Accordingly, performance information is not available.  Performance information will be shown below after the Fund has been in operation for one calendar year.  At that time, the performance information will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by comparing it against a broad measure of market performance.  Updated performance information will also be available on the Fund’s website at www.congressasset.com/funds or by calling the Fund toll-free at 1-888-688-1299.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase shares of the All Cap Opportunity Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the All Cap Opportunity Fund and/or the Advisor may pay the intermediary for the sale of the All Cap Opportunity Fund’s shares and related services.  These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the All Cap Opportunity Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Example
The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Mid Cap Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  This Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Mid Cap Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% annual return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Caps for the first two years).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Mid Cap Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Mid Cap Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies.  The Fund invests primarily in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies which the Advisor considers to have a mid-size market capitalization.  The Fund considers a company to be a mid-cap company if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, between $1 billion and $5 billion.  The Fund may also invest from time to time in equity securities of large-capitalization companies (i.e., those with capitalizations over $5 billion) and equity securities of small-capitalization companies (i.e., those with capitalizations of less than $1 billion).  The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).  The Fund invests in companies that Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the “Advisor”) believes are experiencing or will experience earnings growth.  The Advisor employs a “bottom-up” approach to research and stock selection, which means that the Advisor bases its investments on a company’s future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle.  The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies.  The Advisor’s fundamental approach emphasizes earnings growth and free cash flow.  The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, if a determination is made that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged more attractive than a current holding.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund
There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.  The principal risks of an investment in the Fund include:

·  
Equity Market Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value.  The stock market may experience declines or stocks in the Fund’s portfolio may not increase their earnings at the rate anticipated;

·  
General Market Risk: The market price of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.  These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than its cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier time;

·  
Growth Style Investment Risk: Growth stocks fall out of favor with investors;

·  
Management Risk: The portfolio manager’s judgment as to the growth potential or value of a stock proves to be wrong;

·  
Small and Medium Company Risk: Securities of small and medium cap companies may possess comparatively greater price volatility and less liquidity than the securities of companies that have larger market capitalizations and/or that are traded on major stock exchanges;

·  
Foreign Markets Risk: Foreign securities, including ADRs, involve additional risks, including currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards, and less-strict regulation of securities markets; and

This Prospectus offers the Retail and Institutional Shares of the Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund and Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund.

The investment objective of each Fund provided within each Fund’s Summary Section of this Prospectus is non-fundamental; that is, it can be changed by a vote of the Board of Trustees alone and without a shareholder vote upon at least 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.  The objective and strategies description for each Fund tells you:

·
what the Fund is trying to achieve;
·
how the Advisor intends to invest your money; and
·
what makes each Fund different from the other Fund offered in this Prospectus.

This section also provides a summary of each Fund’s principal investments, policies and practices.  Unless otherwise indicated, these investment policies and practices apply on an ongoing basis.  The investment policy of the Funds concerning “80% of the Funds’ net assets” may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval, but shareholders would be given at least 60 days’ written notice.

Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund
The All Cap Opportunity Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities.  The Fund’s investment premise is that market inefficiencies exist between fixed income and equity valuations which, if properly identified, can lead to investment opportunities which can be exploited.  An analysis of a company’s entire capital structure can provide a unique insight into a purchase or sell decision of a particular stock.  The Advisor seeks to uncover these inefficiencies for the Fund, and identify equity investment opportunities which may provide the opportunity for long term capital appreciation.  The Fund invests primarily in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies, irrespective of market capitalization size or industry sector.  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in investment-grade debt securities, such as commercial paper or corporate debt securities.  The All Cap Opportunity Fund is “opportunistic” and may focus its investments in securities and industries that the Advisor believes are poised to experience earnings growth.  The All Cap Opportunity Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs.  The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, a determination that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged to be more attractive than a current holding.

Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund
The Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies.  The Fund invests primarily in publicly traded stocks of U.S. companies which the Advisor considers to have a mid-size market capitalization (currently between $1 billion and $5 billion at the time of purchase).  The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs.  The Fund invests in companies that the Advisor believes are experiencing or will experience earnings growth.  The Advisor employs a “bottom-up” approach to research and stock selection, which means that the Advisor bases its investments on a company’s future prospects and not on any significant economic or market cycle.  The Advisor also uses a growth-style approach to selecting securities with a focus on high quality companies.  The Advisor’s fundamental approach emphasizes earnings growth and free cash flow.  The Advisor may sell a security for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, if a determination is made that the security no longer meets its investment criteria or if a new security is judged more attractive than a current holding.

The Investment Process
Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Investment Process – Purchasing Portfolio Securities.  For the All Cap Opportunity Fund, the Advisor looks to invest in companies of all sizes that it believes are likely to grow more rapidly than the general economy.  For the Mid Cap Fund, the Advisor looks to invest in securities of medium-size companies that it believes are likely to grow more rapidly than the general economy can be an effective method of investing.  For both Funds, in seeking to identify companies with accelerating fundamentals that are indicative of that company’s ability to grow profitably and consistently for years to come, the Advisor considers the following fundamental factors: (1) a determination of the company’s effectiveness in deploying capital based on a balance sheet analysis; (2) a determination of whether revenue and earnings are the primary drivers of stock price appreciation based on an analysis of the profit and loss statement; and (3) a cash flow analysis to analyze the company’s flexibility.

Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Investment Process – Selling Portfolio Securities.  The Advisor monitors the companies in each Fund’s portfolios to determine if there have been any fundamental changes in the companies in which they have invested.  The Advisor may sell a stock if:

·  It no longer meets the Advisor’s investment criteria;
·  A more attractively priced company is found or if funds are needed for other purposes;
·  It becomes overvalued relative to the long-term expectation for the stock price; or
·  Views change on the individual holdings as well as the sector and/or the general market.

Defensive strategies will be implemented if the Advisor believes the investment environment to be unrewarding.  A decision to become defensive will involve the consideration of many factors including, but not limited to:

·  Valuation;
·  Recent returns;
·  Inflation of expectations;
·  Changes in interest rates; and
·  Market breadth.

Temporary Defensive Position.  In order to respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, each Fund may assume a temporary defensive position by reducing investments in equities and/or increasing investments in short-term fixed income securities.  Each Fund may also invest without limit in cash and high quality cash equivalents such as investment grade commercial paper and other money market instruments.  During such times, a Fund may not be pursuing its investment objective.  A defensive position, taken at the wrong time, may have an adverse impact on a Fund’s performance.


General Market Risk. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.  Each Fund is subject to the market and other risks inherent in discretionary securities investments involving stocks, bonds and other securities.  In general, stock values are affected by activities specific to a company, as well as general market, economic and political conditions.  A Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and investment return will fluctuate based on changes in value of its portfolio securities.  The market value of securities in which each Fund invests is based upon the market’s perception of value and is not necessarily an objective measure of the securities’ value.  A Fund is not a complete investment program and there is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective.  You could lose all or a portion of your investment in a Fund or a Fund could underperform other investments.
Equity Market Risk.  Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value.  Investor perceptions may impact the market and are based on various and unpredictable factors including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies; inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; and global or regional political, economic and banking crises.  If you hold common stocks of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk than if you hold preferred stocks or debt obligations of the issuer because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payments from issuers in comparison with the rights of preferred stockholders, bondholders and other creditors of such issuers.
 
Management Risk.  The value of your investment in the Funds is subject to the effectiveness of the Advisor and the Advisor’s research, analysis and asset allocation among portfolio securities.  If the investment strategies do not produce the expected results, your investment could be diminished.

Small- and Medium-Sized Company Risk. Each Fund may invest in small- and medium-sized companies.  Because investing in small- and medium-sized companies may have more risk than investing in larger, more established companies, such an investment by a Fund may have the following additional risks:

·  
The earnings and prospects of small- and medium-sized companies are more volatile than those of larger-sized companies;
·  
Small- and medium-sized companies may experience higher failure rates than larger-sized companies;
·  
Analysts and other investors typically follow these companies less actively and information about these companies is not always readily available;
·  
The trading volume of securities of small- and medium-sized companies is normally lower and such securities may be less liquid than those of larger-sized companies, which may disproportionately affect their stock prices, and may cause their stock prices to fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger-sized companies; and
·  
Small- and medium-sized companies may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and may lack management experience, making these companies more susceptible to economic and market setbacks.

For these and other reasons, the security prices of small- and medium-capitalization companies may fluctuate more significantly than the security prices of large-capitalization companies.  The smaller the company, the greater effect these risks may have on that company’s operations and performance.  As a result, such an investment by a Fund may exhibit a higher degree of volatility than the general domestic securities market.

Foreign Markets Risk. Because each Fund may invest in foreign securities, a Fund may have the following additional risks:

·  
Foreign securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in price than securities of U.S. companies because foreign markets may be smaller and less liquid than U.S. markets;
 
·  
Changes in foreign tax laws, exchange controls, investment regulations and policies on nationalization and expropriation as well as political instability may affect the operations of foreign companies and the value of their securities;
·  
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and currency transfer restitution may adversely affect the value of each Fund’s investments in foreign securities, which are denominated or quoted in currencies other than the U.S. dollar;
·  
Foreign securities and their issuers are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers regarding information disclosure, insider trading and market manipulation. There may be less publicly available information on foreign companies and foreign companies may not be subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial standards as are U.S. companies;
·  
Foreign securities registration, custody and settlements may be subject to delays or other operational and administrative problems;
·  
Certain foreign brokerage commissions and custody fees may be higher than those in the United States; and
·  
Dividends payable on the foreign securities contained in a Fund’s portfolio may be subject to foreign taxes and withholding, thus reducing the income available for distribution to the Fund’s shareholders.  Each Fund does not expect to be eligible to pass through to shareholders any federal income tax credits or deductions with respect to any foreign taxes and withholding incurred directly by the Fund.

Debt/Fixed Income Securities Risk (All Cap Opportunity Fund Only). The All Cap Opportunity Fund may invest a portion of its assets in investment-grade debt securities, such as commercial paper or corporate debt securities which are subject to interest rate and credit risk.  The values of most debt securities fall when interest rates rise; the longer a debt security’s maturity and the lower its credit quality, the more its value typically falls in response to an increase in interest rates.  The financial condition of an issuer of a security held by the All Cap Opportunity Fund may cause it to default on interest or principal payments due on a security.  This risk generally increases as security credit ratings fall.

Growth Style Investment Risk (Mid Cap Fund Only).  Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks.  Growth stocks may be designated as such and purchased based on the premise that the market will eventually reward a given company’s long-term earnings growth with a higher stock price when that company’s earnings grow faster than both inflation and the economy in general.  Thus, a growth style investment strategy attempts to identify companies whose earnings may grow or are growing at a faster rate than inflation and the economy.  While growth stocks may react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks by rising in price in certain environments, growth stocks also tend to be sensitive to changes in the earnings of their underlying companies and more volatile than other types of stocks, particularly over the short term.  During periods of adverse economic and market conditions, the stock prices of growth stocks may fall despite favorable earnings trends.

Regulatory Risk.  Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security.  An insufficiently regulated market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

A description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and on the Funds’ website at www.congressasset.com/funds.
 

Who May Want to Invest in the Funds?
The Funds may be appropriate for you if you:
· Are pursuing a long-term goal with a growth investment strategy;
· Are willing to accept price fluctuations in your investment; and

The Funds have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Congress Asset Management Company, LLP, 2 Seaport Lane, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, under which the Advisor manages each Fund’s investments and business affairs subject to the supervision of the Board.  The Advisor was founded in 1985, and serves as investment advisor to high net worth individuals and institutions.  As of June 30, 2012, the Advisor managed approximately $7.2 billion in assets.  Under the Advisory Agreement, each Fund compensates the Advisor for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 0.60% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, payable on a monthly basis.  Subject to the general supervision of the Board, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Funds in accordance with its investment objective and policies, and making decisions with respect to, and placing orders for, all purchases and sales of portfolio securities.  The Advisor also maintains related records for the Funds.
 
A discussion regarding the basis of the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor will be available in the Funds’ annual report to shareholders for the period ending December 31, 2012.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses to ensure that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes and extraordinary expenses) will not exceed 1.00% of each Funds’ Retail Class shares’ and 0.75% of each Funds’ Institutional Class shares’ average daily net assets.  Any reduction in advisory fees or payment of expenses made by the Advisor is subject to reimbursement by the Funds if requested by the Advisor, and the Board approves such reimbursement in subsequent fiscal years.  This reimbursement may be requested, if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Caps. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years.  The Funds must pay their current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses.

The Advisor’s Prior Performance
The performance information shown below represents composites of the prior performance of discretionary accounts managed by the Advisor with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as each of the Funds.  The performance information is referred to as the Opportunity Private Account Composite and Medium Cap Growth Private Account Composite (together, the “Composites”).  The Advisor maintains all performance records for the Composites.  The Composites include all accounts with substantially similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. Accounts with a value under $500,000 (USD) or accounts with significant client-imposed restrictions are excluded from the Composites, because such account types are not managed in a substantially similar manner as each of the applicable Funds.

The Composites’ performance is provided to illustrate the past performance of the Composites of the Advisor’s all cap opportunity and mid cap growth accounts as measured against broad based market indices, and does not represent the historical performance of the Funds.  You should not consider this performance data to be an indication of future performance of the Funds.

All returns are presented after the deduction of all fees and expenses, including investment advisory fees, brokerage commissions and execution costs paid by the private portfolios of the Advisor without provision for federal or state income taxes.  The Composites do not reflect any sales loads or placement fees, as such fees are not assessed on these accounts.
The discretionary accounts for which results are reported are not registered mutual funds and were not subject to the same types of expenses as the Fund or to the diversification requirements, specific tax restrictions and investment limitations imposed on the Funds by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance results of the Composites.

Consequently, the performance results for the private accounts could have been adversely affected if the private accounts had been regulated as investment companies.  In addition, the operating expenses incurred by the private accounts were lower than the anticipated operating expenses of the Funds, and, accordingly, the performance results of the private accounts are greater than what each Fund’s performance would have been.

The performance results have been time-weighted and dollar-weighted and prepared in accordance with Global Investment Performance Standards.  These standards are different from the standardized SEC method.  Investors should also be aware that the use of a methodology different from that used above to calculate performance could result in different performance data.

The performance data below is for the Opportunity Private Account Composite and is not the performance results of the Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund.

· corporations, trusts, estates, religious and charitable organizations, and

Special Instructions for Institutional Class Shares
Each of the Funds offers Institutional Class shares primarily for direct investment by investors such as pension and profit-sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations.  Institutional Class shares may also be offered through financial intermediaries that charge their customers transaction or other distribution or service fees with respect to their customers’ investments in the Funds.  If you are purchasing shares through a financial intermediary, you must follow the procedures established by your financial intermediary.  Your financial intermediary is responsible for sending your purchase order and wiring payment to the Transfer Agent.  Your financial intermediary holds the shares in your name and receives all confirmations of purchases and sales.  financial intermediaries placing orders for themselves or on behalf of their customers should call the Funds toll free at 1-888-688-1299, or follow the instructions under “Purchase By Mail,” “Purchase By Telephone” and “Purchase By Wire.”

As indicated in the table above, the minimum initial investment for Institutional Class shares may be waived or reduced by the Advisor at any time.  In addition to the circumstances listed in the table, the Advisor may permit certain financial intermediaries to aggregate up to 10 customer accounts to accumulate the requisite $500,000 initial investment minimum.
General Information
You may purchase or sell (redeem) the Funds’ shares at the net asset value of a share (“NAV”), minus any applicable redemption fee, next calculated after the Transfer Agent receives your request in proper form.  For instance, if the Transfer Agent receives your purchase request in proper form after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, your transaction will be priced at the next business day’s NAV.  The Funds cannot accept orders that request a particular day or price for the transaction or any other special conditions.

When and How NAV is Determined
The Funds calculate their NAV as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each weekday except days when the NYSE is closed.  The time at which the NAV is calculated may change in case of an emergency.  For more information, please see “NYSE Holiday Schedule” below.

Each of the Funds’ NAV is determined by taking the market value of each Fund’s total assets, subtracting each Fund’s liabilities and then dividing the result (net assets) by the number of the corresponding Fund’s shares outstanding.

Each Fund values securities for which market quotations are readily available at current market value other than certain short-term securities, which are valued at amortized cost.  Exchange-traded securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the last reported sales price provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the NYSE (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each Fund’s business day.  In the absence of sales, such securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price.  Non-exchange-traded securities for which quotations are readily available are generally valued at the mean between the current bid and asked price.  Fixed income securities may be valued at prices supplied by the All Cap Opportunity Fund’s pricing agent based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity.  Investments in other open-end regulated investment companies are valued at their NAV.  If the Funds invest in securities that trade on foreign securities markets on days other than a Fund business day, the value of each Fund’s portfolio may change on days that shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem Fund shares.

Each of the Funds values securities at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board if market quotations are not readily available or the Advisor believes that the prices or values available are unreliable.  Market quotations may not be readily available or may be unreliable if, among other things: (1) the exchange on which the Funds’ portfolio security is principally traded closes early; (2) trading in a particular portfolio security was halted during the day and did not resume prior to the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV; or (3) events occur after the close of the securities markets on which the Funds’ portfolio securities primarily trade but before the time as of which the Funds calculate their NAV.

Fair value pricing is based on subjective factors and as a result, the fair value price of a security may differ from the security’s market price and may not be the price at which the security may be sold.  Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

NYSE Holiday Schedule.  The NYSE is open every day, Monday through Friday, except when the following holidays are celebrated: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (the third Monday in January), President’s Day (the third Monday in February), Good Friday, Memorial Day (the last Monday in May), Independence Day, Labor Day (the first Monday in September), Thanksgiving Day (the fourth Thursday in November), and Christmas Day.  Exchange holiday schedules are subject to change without notice.  The NYSE may close early on the day before each of these holidays and the day after Thanksgiving Day.

To the extent that each Fund’s portfolio investments trade in markets on days when the Funds are not open for business, the Funds’ assets may vary on those days.  In addition, trading in certain portfolio investments may not occur on days the Funds are open for business.  If the exchange or market on which the Funds’ underlying investments are primarily traded closes early, the NAV may be calculated prior to its normal calculation time.  For example, the primary trading markets for the Funds may close early on the day before certain holidays and the day after Thanksgiving.
How to Buy Shares
You may purchase shares of the Funds by completing an account application.  Your order will not be accepted until the completed account application is received by the Transfer Agent.  Account applications will not be accepted unless they are accompanied by payment in U.S. dollars, drawn on a domestic (United States) financial institution.  If your payment is returned for any reason, a $25 fee will be assessed against your account.  You will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Funds as a result.  The Funds do not issue share certificates.  The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase in whole or in part.  The Funds and the Advisor also reserve the right to accept in-kind contributions of securities in exchange for shares of the Funds.

The Funds will not accept payment in cash, money orders and cashier’s checks, unless the cashier’s check is in excess of $10,000.  In addition, to prevent check fraud, the Funds do not accept third party checks, U.S. Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares.  The Funds are unable to accept post-dated checks, post-dated on-line bill pay checks or any conditional order or payment.

Minimum Investments.  To purchase shares of the Funds, you must make a minimum initial investment for each applicable class as listed in the table on page 14.  The minimum investment requirements may be waived from time to time.

Checks For all accounts, including individual, sole proprietorship, joint, Uniform Gift to Minors Act (“UGMA”) or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (“UTMA”) accounts, the check must be made payable to “Congress Funds.”  A $25 charge may be imposed on any returned checks.

ACH Refers to the “Automated Clearing House” System maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank, which allows banks to process checks, transfer funds and perform other tasks.  Your financial institution may charge you a fee for this service.

Wires Instruct your financial institution with whom you have an account to make a Federal Funds wire payment to us.  Your financial institution may charge you a fee for this service.

In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Funds’ Anti-Money Laundering Program.  As requested on the account application, you must supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address.  Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted.  Please contact the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299, if you need additional assistance when completing your account application.

If the Funds do not have a reasonable belief of the identity of a shareholder, the account application will be rejected or you will not be allowed to perform a transaction on the account until such information is received.  The Funds also reserve the right to close the account within five business days if clarifying information/documentation is not received.

Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States.  The Funds generally do not sell shares to investors residing outside the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.
Purchasing By Mail.  To purchase the Funds’ shares by mail, complete and sign the account application and mail it, along with a check made payable to the applicable Fund to:

Regular Mail

The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at the Transfer Agent’s post office box of purchase orders or redemption requests, does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent.

If you are making a subsequent purchase, detach the stub that is attached to the account statement you will receive after each transaction and mail it with a check made payable to the “Congress Funds” in the envelope provided with your statement or to the address noted above.  You should write your account number on the check.  If you do not have the stub from your account statement, include your name, address and account number on a separate piece of paper.

Purchasing By Telephone.  Initial Investment. See “Purchasing By Wire.”

Subsequent Investments. If your completed and signed account application has been received by a Fund and your account has been open for at least 15 days, you may purchase additional shares by telephoning the Funds toll free at 1-888-688-1299 (unless you declined telephone purchase privileges on your account application).  Telephone orders will be accepted via electronic funds transfer from your pre-designated bank account through the ACH network.  You must have banking information established on your account prior to making a purchase by telephone.  Only bank accounts held at domestic institutions that are ACH members may be used for telephone transactions.  If your order is received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, shares will be purchased at the NAV next calculated.  For security reasons, requests by telephone may be recorded.  Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified.  During periods of high market activity, you may encounter higher than usual wait times.  Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close.  If you are unable to contact the Funds by telephone, you may make your request in writing.

Purchasing By Wire.

Initial Investment. If you are making your first investment in the Funds, before you wire funds, please contact the Transfer Agent by phone to make arrangements with a telephone service representative to submit your completed account application via mail, overnight delivery or facsimile.  Upon receipt of your completed account application, an account will be established for you and a service representative will contact you within 24 hours to provide you with an account number and wiring instructions.

Once your account has been established, you may instruct your bank to initiate the wire using the instructions you were given.  Prior to sending the wire, please call the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 to advise of your wire to ensure proper credit upon receipt.  Your bank must include the name of the Funds, your name and account number so that your wire can be correctly applied.

Subsequent Investments.  If you are making a subsequent purchase, your bank should wire funds as indicated below.  Before each wire purchase, you should be sure to notify the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 to advise them of your intent to wire funds.  It is essential that your bank include the name of the Fund(s) and your name and account number in all wire instructions.  Your bank may charge you a fee for sending a wire to the Funds.
Your bank should transmit immediately available funds by wire in your name to:

Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to be eligible for same day pricing.  Neither the Funds nor U.S. Bank N.A. are responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system or from incomplete wiring instructions.  If you have questions about how to invest by wire, you may call the Funds at 1-888-688-1299.

Purchasing Through Financial Intermediaries.  You may buy and sell shares of the Funds through certain financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Funds and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Funds (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”).  Your order will be priced at each Fund’s NAV next computed after it is received by a Financial Intermediary and accepted by the Funds.  A Financial Intermediary may hold your shares in an omnibus account in the Financial Intermediary’s name and the Financial Intermediary may maintain your individual ownership records.  The Funds may pay the Financial Intermediary for maintaining individual ownership records as well as providing other shareholder services.  Financial Intermediaries may charge fees for the services they provide to you in connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining your account with them.  Financial Intermediaries are responsible for placing your order correctly and promptly with the Funds, forwarding payment promptly, as well as ensuring that you receive copies of the Funds’ Prospectus.  If you transmit your order with these Financial Intermediaries before the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a day that the NYSE is open for business, your order will be priced at the Funds’ NAV next computed after it is received by the Financial Intermediary.  Investors should check with their Financial Intermediary to determine if it is subject to these arrangements.

Purchasing Through the Automatic Investment Plan.  Subsequent Investments.  For your convenience, each of the Funds offers an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”).  Under this AIP, after your initial minimum investment, you authorize the Funds to withdraw from your personal checking account each month an amount that you wish to invest, which must be at least $250.  If you wish to enroll in the AIP, complete the appropriate section on the Account application.  Your signed Account application must be received at least 15 business days prior to the initial transaction.  A $25 fee will be imposed if your AIP transaction is returned for any reason.  The Funds may terminate or modify this privilege at any time.  You may terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by notifying the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal.  Please contact your financial institution to determine if it is an ACH member.  Your financial institution must be an ACH member in order for you to participate in the AIP.

The AIP is a method of using dollar cost averaging as an investment strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular time intervals.  However, a program of regular investment cannot ensure a profit or protect against a loss as a result of declining markets.  By continually investing the same amount, you will be purchasing more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high.  Please call 1-888-688-1299 for additional information regarding a Fund’s AIP.
Retirement Plans. The Funds offer IRA plans.  You may obtain information about opening an IRA by calling 1-888-688-1299.  If you wish to open a Keogh, Section 403(b) or other retirement plan, please contact your Financial Intermediary.

How to Sell Shares
In general, orders to sell or “redeem” shares can be placed directly with the Funds; however if you purchased your shares through a Financial Intermediary, your redemption order must be placed with that same authorized intermediary.  You may redeem part or all of your shares at the next determined NAV after the Funds receive your order.  You should request your redemption prior to the close of the NYSE, generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, to obtain that day’s closing NAV.  Redemption requests received after the close of the NYSE will be treated as though received on the next business day.

By Mail.  You may redeem your shares by simply sending in a written request to the Transfer Agent.  You should give your account number and state whether you want all or some of your shares redeemed.  The letter should be signed by all of the shareholders whose names appear on the account registration and, if necessary, should include a signature guarantee(s).  No redemption request will become effective until all documents have been received in proper form by the Transfer Agent. Additional documents are required for certain types of shareholders, such as corporations, partnerships, executors, trustees, administrators, or guardians (i.e., corporate resolutions, or trust documents indicating proper authorization).  Shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent at 1-888-688-1299 for further information concerning documentation required for a redemption of Fund shares.

Shareholders who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their redemption request whether to withhold federal income tax.  Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to a 10% withholding tax.

Redemption requests in writing should be sent to:

Regular Mail
Congress Funds
c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
P.O. Box 701
Milwaukee, WI 53201-0701
Overnight or Express Mail
Congress Funds
c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC
615 East Michigan Street, 3rd Floor
Milwaukee, WI 53202-5207

The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents.  Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at the Transfer Agent’s post office box of purchase orders or redemption requests, does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent.

By Telephone and Wire.  You may redeem Fund shares unless you declined telephone redemption privileges on your account application.  Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified.  During periods of high market activity, you may encounter higher than usual wait times.  Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close.  You may make your redemption request in writing.

You may redeem up to $100,000 in shares by calling the Funds at 1-888-688-1299 prior to the close of trading on the NYSE, generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.  Redemption proceeds will be sent on the next business day to the mailing address that appears on the Funds’ records.  Per your request, redemption proceeds may be wired (minimum of $5,000) or may be sent via electronic funds transfer through the ACH network, to your pre-designated bank account.  There is a $15 wire charge per wire which will be deducted from your account balance on dollar specific trades or from the proceeds on complete redemptions and share specific trades.  There is no charge for proceeds sent via the ACH network; however, most ACH transfers require two to three days for the bank account to receive credit.  Telephone redemptions cannot be made if you notify the Transfer Agent of a change of address within 30 days before the redemption request.
Before executing an instruction received by telephone, the Transfer Agent will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine.  The telephone call may be recorded and the caller may be asked to verify certain personal identification information.  If the Funds or its agents follow these procedures, they cannot be held liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone redemption request that is reasonably believed to be genuine.  This includes fraudulent or unauthorized requests.  The Funds may change, modify or terminate these telephone redemption privileges at any time upon at least 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.  Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified.  If you have a retirement account, you may not redeem shares by telephone.  Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close.  During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call wait times.  Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close.

Through Financial Intermediaries. You may redeem Fund shares through your Financial Intermediary.  Redemptions made through a Financial Intermediary may be subject to procedures established by that institution.  Your Financial Intermediary is responsible for sending your order to the Funds and for crediting your account with the proceeds.  For redemptions through Financial Intermediaries, orders will be processed at the NAV next effective after receipt of the order by a Financial Intermediary.  Please keep in mind that your Financial Intermediary may charge additional fees for its services.

Through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan. As another convenience, you may redeem Fund shares through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”), if you own shares with a value of at least $10,000.  Under the SWP, shareholders or their Financial Intermediaries may request that a check drawn in a predetermined amount be sent to them each month, each quarter or annually.  If you elect this method of redemption, the minimum amount that may be withdrawn each month is $250.  If you elect this method of redemption, the Funds will send a check directly to your address of record, or will send the payments directly to a pre-authorized bank account by electronic funds transfer via the ACH network.  For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account.  This SWP may be terminated or modified by a shareholder or the Funds at any time without charge or penalty.  You may also elect to terminate your participation in this SWP at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal.

A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of the Funds’ shares, and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.  In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted.  To establish the SWP, complete the “Systematic Withdrawal Plan” section of the Funds’ account application.  Please call 1-888-688-1299 for additional information regarding a Fund’s SWP.

Account and Transaction Policies

Fund Rights.  The Funds may temporarily suspend (during unusual market conditions) or discontinue any service or privilege, including automatic investments, systematic withdrawals and wire redemption privileges.

Timing of Receiving Redemption Proceeds. Proceeds will generally be sent no later than seven calendar days after the Funds receive your redemption request.  Before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you are selling, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected, which may take up to 15 calendar days from the purchase date.  Furthermore, there are certain times when you may be unable to sell Fund shares or receive proceeds.  Specifically, the Funds may suspend the right to redeem shares or postpone the date of payment upon redemption for more than three business days (1) for any period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings) or trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) for any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Funds of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Funds’ shareholders.
Redemption requests will be sent to the address of record.  The Funds will not be responsible for interest lost on redemption amounts due to lost or misdirected mail.  If the proceeds of redemption are requested to be sent to an address other than the address of record, or if the address of record has been changed within 30 days of the redemption request, the request must be in writing with your signature guaranteed.

Redemptions In-Kind.  The Funds reserve the right to pay redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from a Fund’s portfolio (a “redemption in-kind”).  It is not expected that the Funds would do so except during unusual market conditions or if the redemption amount is large enough to affect the Funds’ operations (e.g., if it represents more than 1% of the Funds’ assets).  If the Funds pay your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.  A redemption in-kind is treated as a taxable transaction and a sale of the redeemed shares, generally resulting in capital gain or loss to you, subject to certain loss limitation rules.

Redemption Fees.  The Funds are intended for long-term investors.  Short-term “market-timers” that engage in frequent purchases and redemptions can disrupt the Funds’ investment program and create additional transaction costs that are borne by all of the Funds’ shareholders.  For these reasons, the Funds will assess a 1.00% fee on the redemption of Fund shares held for 90 days or less.  The Funds use the “first in first out” (“FIFO”) method to determine the holding period; this means that if you purchase shares on different days, the shares you held longest will be redeemed first for purposes of determining whether the short-term trading fee applies.  The redemption fee is deducted from your proceeds and is retained by the Funds for the benefit of its long-term shareholders.  This fee does not apply to (1) shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains; (2) Fund redemptions under the Funds’ SWP; (3) the redemption of shares previously purchased under an AIP; (4) the involuntary redemption of low balance accounts; or (5) sales of Fund shares made in connection with non-discretionary portfolio rebalancing associated with certain asset-allocation programs managed by fee-based investment advisors, certain wrap accounts and certain retirement plans.  The Funds reserve the right to change the terms and amount of this fee upon at least 60 days’ notice to shareholders.

Although the Funds have the goal of applying this redemption fee to most redemptions of shares held for 90 days or less, the Funds may not always be able to track short-term trading effected through Financial Intermediaries in non-disclosed or omnibus accounts.  While the Funds have entered into information sharing agreements with such Financial Intermediaries as described under “Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions” which contractually require such Financial Intermediaries to provide the Funds with information relating to its customers investing in the Funds through non-disclosed or omnibus accounts, the Funds cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to them from Financial Intermediaries and may not always be able to track short-term trading effected through these Financial Intermediaries.  In addition, because the Funds are required to rely on information provided by the Financial Intermediary as to the applicable redemption fee, the Funds cannot ensure that the Financial Intermediary is always imposing such fee on the underlying shareholder in accordance with the Fund’s policies.

Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions. The Board has adopted a policy regarding excessive trading.  The Funds discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm performance.  The Funds take steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in the Funds.  These steps may include, among other things, monitoring trading activity, imposing redemption fees, if necessary, or using fair value pricing when appropriate, under procedures as adopted by the Board, when the Advisor determines current market prices are not readily available.  As approved by the Board, these techniques may change from time to time as determined by the Funds in their sole discretion.
In an effort to discourage abusive trading practices and minimize harm to the Funds and their shareholders, each Fund reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any purchase order or exchange request, in whole or in part, for any reason (including, without limitation, purchases by persons whose trading activity in the Funds’ shares are believed by the Advisor to be harmful to the Funds) and without prior notice.  The Funds may decide to restrict purchase and sale activity in its shares based on various factors, including whether frequent purchase and sale activity will disrupt portfolio management strategies and adversely affect the Funds’ performance.  Although these efforts are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that such activity will occur.  The Funds seek to exercise its judgment in implementing these tools to the best of its ability in a manner that it believes is consistent with shareholder interests.  Except as noted in the Prospectus, the Funds apply all restrictions uniformly in all applicable cases.

Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Funds handle, there can be no assurance that the Funds’ efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive.  In particular, since the Funds receive purchase and sale orders through Financial Intermediaries that use group or omnibus accounts, the Funds cannot always detect frequent trading.  However, the Funds will work with Financial Intermediaries as necessary to discourage shareholders from engaging in abusive trading practices and to impose restrictions on excessive trades.  In this regard, the Funds have entered into information sharing agreements with Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which these intermediaries are required to provide to the Funds, at their request, certain information relating to its customers investing in the Funds through non-disclosed or omnibus accounts.  The Funds will use this information to attempt to identify abusive trading practices.  Financial Intermediaries are contractually required to follow any instructions from the Funds to restrict or prohibit future purchases from shareholders that are found to have engaged in abusive trading in violation of the Fund’s policies.  However, the Funds cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to it from Financial Intermediaries and cannot ensure that they will always be able to detect abusive trading practices that occur through non-disclosed and omnibus accounts.  As a consequence, the Funds’ ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices in omnibus accounts may be limited.

Signature Guarantees.  The Funds and/or Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee for certain redemption requests.  A signature guarantee assures that your signature is genuine and protects you from unauthorized account redemptions.

A signature guarantee of each owner is required in the following situations:
 
·
For all redemption requests in excess of $100,000;
 
·
If a change of address request has been received by the Transfer Agent within the last 30 days;
 
·
When ownership is being changed on your account; and
 
·
When redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record.
 
Non-financial transactions including establishing or modifying certain services on an account may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.

In addition to the situations described above, the Funds and/or Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation.  Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”).  A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.
Low Balance Accounts.  The Funds may redeem the shares in your account and send you the proceeds if the value of your account is less than $1,000 ($500 for IRAs) as a result of redemptions you have made.  You will be notified that the value of your account is less than the amount mentioned above before the Funds make an involuntary redemption.  You will then have 60 days in which to make an additional investment to bring the value of your account to at least $1,000 ($500 for IRAs) before the Funds take any action.

Lost Accounts.  It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor.  An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds.  Based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account.  If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be considered abandoned.  The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements.  The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction.

Householding. In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds will start reducing the number of duplicate prospectuses, supplements, annual and semi-annual reports you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.  Call toll-free at 1-888-688-1299 to request individual copies of these documents or if your shares are held through a Financial Intermediary please contact them directly.  The Funds will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.  This policy does not apply to account statements.

Unclaimed Property.  Your mutual fund account may be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws.


The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for the Retail Class shares of the Funds.  Under the Plan, each Fund is authorized to pay the distributor a fee for the sale and distribution of each Fund’s Retail Class shares and services it provides to shareholders.  The maximum amount of the fee authorized is 0.25% of each Fund’s average daily net assets annually.  Because these fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment in the Fund’s shares and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

In addition to paying fees under the Plan, each Fund may pay service fees to Financial Intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors or other financial institutions, including affiliates of the Advisor, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and other shareholder services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in omnibus, other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities clearing agents.

The Advisor or distributor, out of its own resources, and without additional cost to the Funds or its shareholders, may provide additional cash payments or non-cash compensation to Financial Intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds, including affiliates of the Advisor.  Such payments and compensation are in addition to the sales charges (including Rule 12b-1 fees) and service fees paid by the Funds.  These additional cash payments are generally made to Financial Intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the Financial Intermediary.  Cash compensation may also be paid to Financial Intermediaries for inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, in other sales programs or as an expense reimbursement in cases where the Financial Intermediary provides shareholder services to the Funds’ shareholders.  The Advisor or distributor may also pay cash compensation in the form of finder’s fees that vary depending on the dollar amount of the shares sold.

Dividends and Distributions
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net capital gains from the sale of securities are distributed at least annually.  Net investment income generally consists of interest income and dividends received on investments, less expenses.

The Funds typically distribute any undistributed net investment income each December.  Any net capital gains realized through the period ended October 31 of each year also are typically distributed by December 31 of each year.  The Funds may make an additional payment of dividends or distributions if it deems it desirable at another time during the year.

All distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the following options: (1) receive dividends in cash, while reinvesting capital gain distributions in additional Fund shares; (2) reinvest dividends in additional Fund shares and receive capital gain distributions in cash; or (3) receive all dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.  If you wish to change your distribution option, call or write to the Transfer Agent in advance of the record date of the distribution.  If you elect to receive dividends and/or capital gains paid in cash, and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the Funds reserve the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account at the Funds’ then current net asset value and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.  Distributions made by the Funds will be taxable to shareholders whether received in additional shares or in cash.

Tax Consequences
Each Fund has elected and intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a regulated investment company, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax if they distribute their income as required by the tax law and satisfy certain other requirements that are described in the SAI.  The Funds generally operate in a manner such that it will not be liable for federal income or excise taxes on its taxable income and capital gains distributed to shareholders.

The Funds intend to make distributions of dividends and capital gains.  In general, Fund distributions are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income or qualified dividend income.  The rate of tax you pay on capital gain distributions will depend on how long the Funds held the securities that generated the gains, not on how long you owned your Fund shares.  There is no requirement that the Funds take into consideration any tax implications when implementing its strategy.  You will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive your dividends and capital gain distributions in cash or reinvest them in additional Fund shares.  Shareholders should note that the Funds may make taxable distributions of income and capital gains even when share values have declined.

Dividends declared by the Funds in October, November or December to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month and paid during January of the following year will be treated as paid in December for tax purposes.

All distributions generally reduce the NAV of the Funds’ shares by the amount of the distribution.  If you purchase shares prior to a distribution, the distribution will be taxable to you even though economically it may represent a return on your investment.
If you sell your Fund shares, it is considered a taxable event for you.  You generally will have a taxable gain or loss on the sale, with the amount determined by comparing the sale price of the shares you sell, to your adjusted tax basis at the time of such sale, which generally will be your purchase price with certain adjustments.  You are responsible for paying any tax liabilities generated by your transaction.

By law, the Funds must withhold as backup withholding a percentage (currently 28%) of your taxable distributions and redemption proceeds if you do not provide your correct social security or taxpayer identification number and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding or if the Internal Revenue Service instructs the Funds to do so.

As required by U.S. Treasury regulations governing tax practice, you are hereby advised that any written tax advice contained herein was not written or intended to be used (and cannot be used) by any taxpayer for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.  The advice was prepared for the Funds.  Any person reviewing this discussion should seek advice based on such person’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.  Additional information concerning the taxation of the Funds and its shareholders is contained in the SAI.

This Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) is not a prospectus, and it should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus dated October __, 2012, as may be revised, of the Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund (the “All Cap Opportunity Fund”) and Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund,” together with the “All Cap Opportunity Fund,” the “Funds”), advised by Congress Asset Management Company, LLP (the “Advisor”), two series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”).  A copy of the Funds’ Prospectus is available by calling the number listed above.  The Advisor also advises the Congress Large Cap Growth Fund which is described in a separate Prospectus and SAI.
 

 
THE TRUST

The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust organized on February 24, 1987 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an open-end management investment company.  Prior to May 1991, the Trust was known as the Avondale Investment Trust.  The Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”) permits the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, without par value, which may be issued in any number of series.  The Trust consists of various series that represent separate investment portfolios.  The Board may, from time to time, issue other series, the assets and liabilities of which will be separate and distinct from any other series. This SAI relates only to the Funds.

The shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable as partners for its obligations.  However, the Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Trust.

The Declaration of Trust also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Funds’ assets for any shareholder held personally liable for obligations of the Funds or the Trust.  The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trust shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the Funds or the Trust and satisfy any judgment thereon.  All such rights are limited to the assets of the Funds.  The Declaration of Trust further provides that the Trust may maintain appropriate insurance (for example, fidelity bonding and errors and omissions insurance) for the protection of the Trust, its shareholders, trustees, officers, employees and agents to cover possible tort and other liabilities.  However, the activities of the Trust as an investment company would not likely give rise to liabilities in excess of the Trust’s total assets.  Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which both inadequate insurance exists and the Funds themselves are unable to meet its obligations.

Retail and Institutional Shares of the Funds commenced operations on October __, 2012.  The Funds do not hold themselves out as related to any other series within the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does it share the same investment advisor with any other series of the Trust, except for the Congress Large Cap Growth Fund.  The Funds’ Prospectus and this SAI are a part of the Trust’s Registration Statement filed with the SEC.  Copies of the Trust’s complete Registration Statement may be obtained from the SEC upon payment of the prescribed fee or may be accessed free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
 
The Funds are diversified.  This means that as to 75% of its total assets, a Fund may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer.  Under applicable federal securities laws, the diversification of a mutual fund’s holdings is measured at the time a fund purchases a security.  If a Fund purchases a security and holds it for a period of time, the security may become a larger percentage of the Fund’s total assets due to movements in the financial markets.  If the market affects several securities held by a Fund, that Fund may have a greater percentage of its assets invested in securities of fewer issuers.  The Fund would then be subject to the risk that its performance may be hurt disproportionately by the poor performance of relatively few securities despite the Fund qualifying as a diversified fund under applicable federal securities laws.
 

The following information supplements the discussion of the Funds’ principal investment strategies as set forth in the combined Prospectus.  The Funds may invest in the following types of investments, each of which is subject to certain risks, as discussed below.

Recent Regulatory Events.
The U.S. Government, the Federal Reserve, the Treasury, the SEC, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other governmental and regulatory bodies have recently taken or are considering taking actions to address the financial crisis.  These actions include, but are not limited to, the enactment by the United States Congress of the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act”, which was signed into law on July 21, 2010 and imposes a new regulatory framework over the U.S. financial services industry and the consumer credit markets in general, and proposed regulations by the SEC.  Given the broad scope, sweeping nature, and relatively recent enactment of some of these regulatory measures, the potential impact they could have on securities held by a Fund is unknown.  There can be no assurance that these measures will not have an adverse effect on the value or marketability of securities held by a Fund.  Furthermore, no assurance can be made that the U.S. Government or any U.S. regulatory body (or other authority or regulatory body) will not continue to take further legislative or regulatory action in response to the economic crisis or otherwise, and the effect of such actions, if taken, cannot be known.

Recent Economic Events.
While the U.S. and global markets had experienced extreme volatility and disruption for an extended period of time, 2010 and the beginning of 2011 witnessed more stabilized economic activity as expectations for an economic recovery increased.  However, risks to a robust resumption of growth persist including:  a weak consumer weighed down by high rates of debt and unemployment, the growing size of the federal budget deficit and national debt, and the threat of inflation.  In 2010, several European Union (“EU”) countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, began to face budget issues, some of which may have negative long-term effects for the economies of those countries and other EU countries.  There is continued concern about national-level support for the euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy amount European Economic and Monetary Union (“EMU”) member countries.  Member countries are required to maintain tight controls over inflation, public debt, and budget deficit to qualify for membership in the European EMU.  These requirements can severely limit European EMU member countries’ ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions.  A return to unfavorable economic conditions could impair a Fund’s ability to execute its investment strategies.

Equity Securities.
Common stocks, preferred stocks and convertible securities are examples of equity securities in which the Funds may invest.  All investments in equity securities are subject to market risks that may cause their prices to fluctuate over time.  Historically, the equity markets have moved in cycles and the value of the securities in a Fund’s portfolio may fluctuate substantially from day to day.  Owning an equity security can also subject the Funds to the risk that the issuer may discontinue paying dividends.

Common Stock.
Common stocks represent a proportionate share of the ownership of a company and its value is based on the success of the company’s business, any income paid to stockholders, the value of its assets, and general market conditions.  In addition to the general risks set forth above, investments in common stocks are subject to the risk that in the event a company in which a Fund invests is liquidated, the holders of preferred stock and creditors of that company will be paid in full before any payments are made to a Fund as a holder of common stock.  It is possible that all assets of that company will be exhausted before any payments are made to a Fund.
Other Investment Companies.
The Funds may invest in the securities of other registered investment companies, subject to the limitations set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”).  Investments in the securities of other investment companies will likely result in the duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses.  By investing in another investment company, a Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company.  As a result, shareholders indirectly will bear the Fund’s proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses Fund shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund’s own operations.

Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act generally prohibits a fund from purchasing (1) more than 3% of the total outstanding voting stock of another fund; (2) securities of another fund having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the value of the acquiring fund; and (3) securities of the other fund and all other funds having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the value of the total assets of the acquiring fund.  There are some exceptions, however, to these limitations pursuant to various rules promulgated by the SEC.

In accordance with Section 12(d)(1)(F) and Rule 12d1-3 of the 1940 Act, the provisions of Section 12(d)(1) shall not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Funds if (i) immediately after such purchase or acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding stock of such registered investment company is owned by a Fund and all affiliated persons of the Fund; and (ii) the Fund is not proposing to offer or sell any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price including a sales load that exceeds the limits set forth in Rule 2830 of the Conduct Rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) applicable to a fund of funds (i.e., 8.5%).

Exchange-Traded Funds.
The Funds may also invest in shares of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).  ETFs are investment companies which seek to replicate the performance, before fees and expenses, of an underlying index of securities.  An ETF is similar to a traditional mutual fund but trades at different prices during the day on a securities exchange like a stock.  Similar to investments in other investment companies discussed above, a Fund’s investments in ETFs will involve duplication of advisory fees and other expenses since the Fund will be investing in another investment company.  In addition, a Fund’s investment in ETFs is also subject to its limitations on investments in investment companies discussed above.  To the extent a Fund invests in ETFs which focus on a particular market segment or industry, the Fund will also be subject to the risks associated with investing in those sectors or industries.  The shares of the ETFs in which the Funds will invest will be listed on a national securities exchange, and the Funds will purchase and sell these shares on the secondary market at their current market price, which may be more or less than their net asset value.  Investors in a Fund should be aware that ETFs are subject to “tracking risk,” which is the risk that an ETF will not be able to replicate exactly the performance of the index it tracks.

As a purchaser of ETF shares on the secondary market, the Funds will be subject to the market risk associated with owning any security whose value is based on market price.  ETF shares historically have tended to trade at or near their net asset value, but there is no guarantee that they will continue to do so.  Unlike traditional mutual funds, shares of an ETF may be purchased and redeemed directly from the ETF only in large blocks (typically, 50,000 shares or more) and only through participating organizations that have entered into contractual agreements with the ETF.  The Funds do not expect to enter into such agreements and therefore will not be able to purchase and redeem their ETF shares directly from the ETF.
 
Foreign Securities.
The All Cap Opportunity Fund may invest up to 20% and the Mid Cap Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in foreign equity securities including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”).  In determining whether a company is foreign, the Advisor will consider various factors including where the company is headquartered, where the company’s principal operations are located, where the company’s revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located and the country in which the company is legally organized.  The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending upon the circumstances.  Investments in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than those in domestic securities.
ADRs in registered form are dollar-denominated securities designed for use in the U.S. securities markets.  ADRs are sponsored and issued by domestic banks and they represent and may be converted into underlying foreign securities deposited with the domestic bank or a correspondent bank.  ADRs do not eliminate the risks inherent in investing in the securities of foreign issuers.  By investing in ADRs rather than directly in the foreign security, however, a Fund may avoid currency risk during the settlement period for either purchases or sales.  There is a large, liquid market in the United States for most ADRs.  GDRs are receipts representing an arrangement with a major foreign bank similar to that for ADRs.  GDRs are not necessarily denominated in the currency of the underlying security.  ADRs, GDRs and the securities of foreign companies traded on a U.S. stock exchange are not considered foreign securities for purposes of calculation of any investment limitation placed on a Fund’s exposure to foreign securities.

Each Fund intend to invest primarily in foreign companies located in developed countries and not in the securities of companies located in emerging markets.  Securities of foreign issuers may be subject to greater fluctuations in price than domestic securities.  The price of foreign securities is affected by changes in the currency exchange rates.  Potential political or economic instability of the country of the issuer could cause rapid and extreme changes in the value of a Fund’s assets to the extent it is invested in securities of foreign issuers.  Foreign countries have different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, and foreign issuers may be subject to less governmental regulation and oversight and higher levels of taxation than U.S. issuers.  In addition, additional costs may be incurred in connection with the Funds’ foreign investments.  Foreign brokerage commissions are generally higher than those in the United States.  Expenses may also be incurred on currency conversions when a Fund moves investments from one country to another.  Increased custodial costs, as well as administrative difficulties, may be experienced in connection with maintaining assets in foreign jurisdictions.

Commercial Paper and Short-Term Notes.
The All Cap Opportunity Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in commercial paper and short-term notes.  Commercial paper consists of unsecured promissory notes issued by companies.  Issues of commercial paper and short-term notes will normally have maturities of less than nine months and fixed rates of return, although such instruments may have maturities of up to one year.  The Mid Cap Fund does not invest more than 5% of its assets in commercial paper and short-term notes.

Commercial paper and short-term notes will consist of issues rated at the time of purchase “A-2” or higher by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group or “Prime-1” or “Prime-2” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, will be determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality.  These rating symbols are described in Appendix A.

Illiquid Securities.
Each Fund may not invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Advisor will monitor the amount of illiquid securities in each Fund’s portfolio, under the supervision of the Board, to ensure compliance with each Fund’s investment restrictions.

Historically, illiquid securities have included securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), securities which are otherwise not readily marketable and repurchase agreements having a maturity of longer than seven days.  As described below, in some cases, securities subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resales may not be deemed to be illiquid (see “Restricted Securities” below).  Mutual funds do not typically hold a significant amount of these illiquid securities because of the potential for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation.  Limitations on resale may have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and a Fund might be unable to dispose of illiquid securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying redemption requests within seven days.
Restricted Securities.
The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the Securities Act.  These securities are sometimes referred to as private placements.  Although securities which may be resold only to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144A under the Securities Act are technically considered “restricted securities,” each Fund may purchase Rule 144A securities without regard to the limitation on investments in illiquid securities described above in the “Illiquid Securities” section, provided that a determination is made that such securities have a readily available trading market.  Each Fund may also purchase certain commercial paper issued in reliance on the exemption from regulations in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act (“4(2) Paper”).  The Advisor will determine the liquidity of Rule 144A securities and 4(2) Paper under the supervision of the Board.  The liquidity of Rule 144A securities and 4(2) Paper will be monitored by the Advisor, and if as a result of changed conditions it is determined that a Rule 144A security or 4(2) Paper is no longer liquid, the Fund’s holdings of illiquid securities will be reviewed to determine what action, if any, is appropriate.  A Fund may determine that it is appropriate to continue to hold such instrument for a period of time to avoid a distressed sale which would be harmful to shareholders.

Limitations on the resale of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and a Fund might be unable to dispose of restricted securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying redemption requirements.  A Fund might also have to register such restricted securities in order to dispose of them, resulting in additional expense and delay.  Adverse market conditions could impede such a public offering of securities.

Repurchase Agreements.
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements.  However, each Fund may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in repurchase agreements.  For purposes of the 1940 Act, a repurchase agreement may be deemed to be a loan from a Fund to the seller of the security subject to the repurchase agreement.  Under such agreements, the seller of the security agrees to repurchase it at a mutually agreed upon time and price.  The repurchase price may be higher than the purchase price, the difference being income to the Fund, or the purchase and repurchase prices may be the same, with interest at a stated rate due to the Fund together with the repurchase price on repurchase.  In either case, the income to the Fund is unrelated to the interest rate on the security itself.  Such repurchase agreements will be made only with banks with assets of $500 million or more that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or with government securities dealers recognized by the Federal Reserve Board and registered as broker-dealers with the SEC or exempt from such registration.  A Fund will generally enter into repurchase agreements of short durations, from overnight to one week, although the underlying securities generally have longer maturities.  A Fund may not enter into a repurchase agreement with more than seven days to maturity if, as a result, more than 15% of the value of its net assets would be invested in illiquid securities, including such repurchase agreements.

Because a repurchase agreement may be deemed to be a loan under the 1940 Act, it is not clear whether a court would consider the security acquired by a Fund subject to a repurchase agreement as being owned by the Fund or as being collateral for a loan by a Fund to the seller.  In the event of the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings with respect to the seller of the security before its repurchase under a repurchase agreement, a Fund may encounter delays and incur costs before being able to sell the security.  Delays may involve loss of interest or a decline in price of the security.  If a court characterizes the transaction as a loan, and the Fund has not perfected a security interest in the security, the Fund may be required to return the security to the seller’s estate and be treated as an unsecured creditor of the seller.  As an unsecured creditor, the Fund would be at risk of losing some or all of the principal and income involved in the transaction.  As with any unsecured debt instrument purchased for the Funds, the Advisor seeks to minimize the risk of loss through repurchase agreements by analyzing the creditworthiness of the other party, in this case the seller of the security.
Apart from the risk of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, there is also the risk that the seller may fail to repurchase the security.  However, each Fund will always receive as collateral for any repurchase agreement to which it is a party securities acceptable to it, the market value of which is equal to at least 100% of the amount invested by the Fund plus accrued interest, and the Fund will make payment against such securities only upon physical delivery or evidence of book entry transfer to the account of its custodian.  If the market value of the security subject to the repurchase agreement becomes less than the repurchase price (including interest), the Fund will direct the seller of the security to deliver additional securities so that the market value of all securities subject to the repurchase agreement will equal or exceed the repurchase price.  It is possible that the Fund will be unsuccessful in seeking to impose on the seller a contractual obligation to deliver additional securities.

Borrowing.
Each Fund may borrow money in amounts of up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) from banks.  In addition, each Fund is authorized to borrow money from time to time for temporary, extraordinary or emergency purposes or for clearance of transactions.  The use of borrowing by a Fund involves special risk considerations that may not be associated with other funds having similar objectives and policies.  Since substantially all of a Fund’s assets fluctuate in value, while the interest obligation resulting from a borrowing will be fixed by the terms of the Fund’s agreement with its lender, the net asset value per share of the Fund will tend to increase more when its portfolio securities increase in value and to decrease more when its portfolio assets decrease in value than would otherwise be the case if the Fund did not borrow funds.  In addition, interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of interest and may partially offset or exceed the return earned on borrowed funds.  Under adverse market conditions, the Fund might have to sell portfolio securities to meet interest or principal payments at a time when fundamental investment considerations would not favor such sales.

Securities Lending.
Although the Funds have no present intention to do so, the Funds reserve the right, pending receipt of Board approval, to lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) in order to increase the return on its portfolio, subject to a maximum of 33% of a Fund’s net assets.  The SEC currently requires that the following conditions must be met whenever a Fund’s portfolio securities are loaned:  (1) the Fund must receive at least 100% cash collateral from the borrower; (2) the borrower must increase such collateral whenever the market value of the securities rises above the level of such collateral; (3) the Fund must be able to terminate the loan at any time; (4) the Fund must receive reasonable interest on the loan, as well as any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, and any increase in market value; (5) the Fund may pay only reasonable custodian fees approved by the Board in connection with the loan; (6) while voting rights on the loaned securities may pass to the borrower, the Board must terminate the loan and regain the right to vote the securities if a material event adversely affecting the investment occurs, and (7) the Fund may not loan its portfolio securities so that the value of the loaned securities is more than one-third of its total asset value, including collateral received from such loans.  These conditions may be subject to future modification.  Such loans will be terminable at any time upon specified notice.  The Fund might experience the risk of loss if the institution with which it has engaged in a portfolio loan transaction breaches its agreement with the Fund.  In addition, the Fund will not enter into any portfolio security lending arrangement having a duration of longer than one year.  The principal risk of portfolio lending is potential default or insolvency of the borrower.  In either of these cases, the Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities.  As part of participating in a lending program, the Fund may be required to invest in collateralized debt or other securities that bear the risk of loss of principal.  In addition, all investments made with the collateral received are subject to the risks associated with such investments.  If such investments lose value, the Fund will have to cover the loss when repaying the collateral.
Any loans of portfolio securities are fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to-market daily.  Any securities that the Fund may receive as collateral will not become part of the Fund’s investment portfolio at the time of the loan and, in the event of a default by the borrower, the Fund will, if permitted by law, dispose of such collateral except for such part thereof that is a security in which the Fund is permitted to invest.  During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Fund any accrued income on those securities, and the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements.
Although the Funds have no intention to do so, the Funds reserve the right to borrow funds for temporary purposes by entering into reverse repurchase agreements in accordance with each Fund’s investment restrictions.  Pursuant to such agreements, a Fund would sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, and agree to repurchase the securities at the mutually agreed-upon date and price.  A Fund would enter into reverse repurchase agreements only to avoid otherwise selling securities during unfavorable market conditions to meet redemptions.  When a Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it will place in a segregated custodial account assets consistent with the Fund’s investment restrictions having a value equal to the repurchase price (including accrued interest), and will subsequently monitor the account to ensure that such equivalent value is maintained.  Such assets will include U.S. Government securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities.

The use of reverse repurchase agreements by a Fund creates leverage which increases the Fund’s investment risk.  If the income and gains on securities purchased with the proceeds of reverse repurchase agreements exceed the cost of the agreements, the Fund’s earnings or net asset value will increase faster than otherwise would be the case.  Conversely, if the income and gains fail to exceed the costs, earnings or net asset value would decline faster than otherwise would be the case.  The Fund will seek to enter reverse repurchase agreements only when the interest income to be earned from the investment of the proceeds of the transaction is greater than the interest expense of the transaction.  Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities.  Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowing for the purpose of the Fund’s limitation on borrowing.

When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments.
The Funds may purchase securities offered on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell securities on a “forward commitment” basis.  When these transactions are negotiated, the price, which is generally expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date.  Normally, the settlement date occurs within two months after the transaction, but delayed settlements beyond two months may be negotiated.  During the period between a commitment and settlement, no payment is made for the securities purchased by the purchaser and thus, no interest accrues to the purchaser from the transaction.  At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the Funds will record the transaction as a purchase and thereafter reflect the value each day of such securities in determining its net asset value (“NAV”).
A Fund will not enter into a when-issued if, as a result, more than 10% of a Fund’s total assets would be committed to such transactions.

Dollar Roll Transactions.
The Funds may enter into “dollar roll” transactions.  Dollar roll transactions are transactions in which a Fund sells securities to a bank or securities dealer, and make a commitment to purchase similar, but not identical, securities at a later date from the same party.  During the period between the commitment and settlement, no payment is made for the securities purchased and no interest or principal payments on the securities accrue to the purchaser, but the Funds assume the risk of ownership.  A Fund is compensated for entering into dollar roll transactions by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase, as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale.  The Funds will engage in dollar roll transactions for the purpose of acquiring securities for its investment portfolios.  The Funds limit their obligations on dollar roll transactions to 10% of each Fund’s net assets.

 
 
The Trust (on behalf of the Funds) has adopted the following restrictions as fundamental policies, which may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a “majority” of the outstanding voting securities of the Funds.  Under the 1940 Act, the “vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of the Funds represented at a meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of the Funds’ outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.

As a matter of fundamental policy, the Funds may not:

1.
With respect to 75% of its total assets, invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of a single issuer or hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer;

2.
Borrow money or issue senior securities, except through reverse repurchase agreements or otherwise as permitted under the 1940 Act, as interpreted, modified or otherwise permitted by regulatory authority.  Generally, issuing senior securities is prohibited under the 1940 Act; however, certain exceptions apply such as in the case of reverse repurchase agreements, borrowing, and certain other leveraging transactions;

3.
Act as underwriter (except to the extent the Funds may be deemed to be an underwriter in connection with the sale of securities in its investment portfolio);

4.
Invest 25% or more of its net assets, calculated at the time of purchase and taken at market value, in securities of issuers in any one industry or group of industries (other than U.S. government securities);

5.
Purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities (although the Funds may purchase and sell securities that are secured by real estate and securities of companies that invest or deal in real estate);

6.
Purchase or sell physical commodities, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments.  This limitation shall not prevent a Fund from purchasing, selling, or entering into futures contracts, or acquiring securities or other instruments and options thereon backed by, or related to, physical commodities; or
7.
Make loans of money (except purchases of debt securities consistent with the investment policies of the Funds).  For purposes of this limitation, entering into repurchase agreements, lending securities and acquiring any debt security are not deemed to be the making of loans.

The following is a list of non-fundamental investment restrictions applicable to the Funds.  These restrictions can be changed by the Board, but the change will only be effective after notice is given to shareholders of the Funds.

1.
The Funds may not, with respect to fundamental investment restriction 1 above, purchase portfolio securities while outstanding borrowings exceed 5% of its assets.

2.
The Funds may not mortgage, pledge or hypothecate any of its assets except in connection with any such borrowings and only with respect to 33-1/3% of its assets.

3.
The Funds may not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  (See “Illiquid Securities” above for a complete discussion of illiquid securities.)

4.  
The Funds will not make investments for the purpose of exercising control or management of any company.

Except with respect to borrowing, if a percentage or rating restriction on investment or use of assets set forth herein or in the Prospectus is adhered to at the time a transaction is effected, later changes in the percentage or rating resulting from any cause other than actions by the Funds will not be considered a violation of the Funds’ investment restrictions.  If the value of the Funds’ holdings of illiquid securities at any time exceeds the percentage limitation applicable due to subsequent fluctuations in value or other reasons, the Board will consider what actions, if any, are appropriate to maintain adequate liquidity.

 

Although the Funds generally will not invest for short-term trading purposes, portfolio securities may be sold without regard to the length of time they have been held when, in the opinion of the Advisor, investment considerations warrant such action.  The portfolio turnover rate is calculated by dividing (1) the lesser of purchases or sales of portfolio securities for a fiscal year by (2) the monthly average of the value of portfolio securities owned during such fiscal year.  A 100% turnover rate would occur if all the securities in a Fund’s portfolio, with the exception of securities whose maturities at the time of acquisition were one year or less, were sold and either repurchased or replaced within one year.  A high rate of portfolio turnover (100% or more) generally leads to higher transaction costs and may result in a greater number of taxable transactions.  (See “Execution of Portfolio Transactions”)

 
 
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a portfolio holdings disclosure policy that governs the timing and circumstances of disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds.  The Advisor has also adopted a policy with respect to disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds (the “Advisor’s Policy”). Information about the Funds’ portfolio holdings will not be distributed to any third party except in accordance with the portfolio holdings policies and the Advisor’s Policy (the “Disclosure Policies”).  The Advisor and the Board considered the circumstances under which the Funds’ portfolio holdings may be disclosed under the Disclosure Policies and the actual and potential material conflicts that could arise in such circumstances between the interests of the Funds’ shareholders and the interests of the Advisor, distributor or any other affiliated person of the Funds.  After due consideration, the Advisor and the Board determined that the Funds have a legitimate business purpose for disclosing portfolio holdings to persons described in the Disclosure Policies, including mutual fund rating or statistical agencies, or persons performing similar functions, and internal parties involved in the investment process, administration or custody of the Funds.  Pursuant to the Disclosure Policies, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), President and Treasurer are each authorized to consider and authorize dissemination of portfolio holdings information to additional third parties, after considering the best interests of the Funds shareholders and potential conflicts of interest in making such disclosures.
The Board exercises continuing oversight of the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings by (1) overseeing the implementation and enforcement of the Disclosure Policies, Codes of Ethics and other relevant policies of the Funds and their service providers by the Trust’s CCO, (2) by considering reports and recommendations by the Trust’s CCO concerning any material compliance matters (as defined in Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act), and (3) by considering to approve any amendment to the Disclosure Policies.  The Board reserves the right to amend the Disclosure Policies at any time without prior notice to shareholders in its sole discretion.

Disclosure of the Funds’ complete holdings is required to be made quarterly within 60 days of the end of each period covered by the annual report and semi-annual report to Fund shareholders and in the quarterly holdings report on Form N-Q.  These reports are available, free of charge, on the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  The Funds disclose their month-end portfolio holdings on the Funds’ website at www.congressasset.com/funds within 15 business days after the month-end.  The month-end portfolio holdings for the Funds will remain posted on the website until the following month-end portfolio holdings are posted.  Portfolio holdings information posted on the Funds’ website may be separately provided to any person, commencing on the day after it is first published on the Funds’ website.  In addition, the Funds may provide their complete portfolio holdings at the same time that it is filed with the SEC.

In the event of a conflict between the interests of the Funds and the interests of the Advisor or an affiliated person of the Advisor, the CCO of the Advisor, in consultation with the Trust’s CCO, shall make a determination in the best interests of the Funds, and shall report such determination to the Board at the end of the quarter in which such determination was made.  Any employee of the Advisor who suspects a breach of this obligation must report the matter immediately to the Advisor’s CCO or to his or her supervisor.

In addition, material non-public holdings information may be provided without lag as part of the normal investment activities of the Funds to each of the following entities, which, by explicit agreement or by virtue of their respective duties to the Funds, are required to maintain the confidentiality of the information disclosed, including a duty not to trade on non-public information:  the fund administrator, fund accountant, custodian, transfer agent, auditors, counsel to the Funds or the Board, broker-dealers (in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or requests for price quotations or bids on one or more securities) and regulatory authorities.  Portfolio holdings information not publicly available with the SEC or through the Funds’ website may only be provided to additional third parties, including mutual fund ratings or statistical agencies, in accordance with the Disclosure Policies, when the Funds have a legitimate business purpose and the third party recipient is subject to a confidentiality agreement that includes a duty not to trade on non-public information.

In no event shall the Advisor, its affiliates or employees, the Funds, or any other party receive any direct or indirect compensation in connection with the disclosure of information about the Funds’ portfolio holdings.
There can be no assurance that the Disclosure Policies will protect the Funds from potential misuse of portfolio holdings information by individuals or entities to which it is disclosed.

From time to time, the Advisor may make additional disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings on the Funds' website.  Shareholders can access the Funds’ website at www.congressasset.com/funds for additional information about the Funds, including, without limitation, the periodic disclosure of its portfolio holdings.

 
 
The Board is responsible for the overall management of the Trust, including general supervision and review of the investment activities of the Funds.  The Board, in turn, elects the officers of the Trust, who are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Trust and its separate series.  The current Trustees and executive officers of the Trust, their birth dates, positions with the Trust, terms of office with the Trust and length of time served, their principal occupations during the past five years and other directorships are set forth in the table below.

(1)
All Trustees of the Trust are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined under the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”).
(2)
The Trust is comprised of numerous series managed by unaffiliated investment advisers.  The term “Fund Complex” applies to the Congress All Cap Opportunity Fund, Congress Mid Cap Growth Fund, and the Congress Large Cap Growth Fund (offered in a separate Prospectus and SAI).  The Funds do not hold themselves out as related to any other series within the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor do they share the same investment advisor with any other series.
(3)
Mr. Falkeis is an “interested person” of the Trust as defined by the 1940 Act.  Mr. Falkeis is an interested Trustee of the Trust by virtue of the fact that he is an interested person of Quasar Distributors, LLC who acts as principal underwriter to the series of the Trust.

Additional Information Concerning the Board of Trustees

The Role of the Board

The Board oversees the management and operations of the Trust.  Like all mutual funds, the day-to-day management and operation of the Trust is the responsibility of the various service providers to the Trust, such as the Advisor, the Distributor, the Administrator, the Custodian, and the Transfer Agent, each of whom are discussed in greater detail in this Statement of Additional Information.  The Board has appointed various senior employees of the Administrator as officers of the Trust, with responsibility to monitor and report to the Board on the Trust’s operations.  In conducting this oversight, the Board receives regular reports from these officers and the service providers.  For example, the Treasurer reports as to financial reporting matters and the President reports as to matters relating to the Trust’s operations.
In addition, the Advisor provides regular reports on the investment strategy and performance of the Funds.  The Board has appointed a Chief Compliance Officer who administers the Trust’s compliance program and regularly reports to the Board as to compliance matters.  These reports are provided as part of formal “Board Meetings” which are typically held quarterly, in person, and involve the Board’s review of recent operations.  In addition, various members of the Board also meet with management in less formal settings, between formal “Board Meetings,” to discuss various topics.  In all cases, however, the role of the Board and of any individual Trustee is one of oversight and not of management of the day-to-day affairs of the Trust and its oversight role does not make the Board a guarantor of the Trust’s investments, operations or activities.

Board Structure, Leadership

The Board has structured itself in a manner that it believes allows it to perform its oversight function effectively.  It has established four standing committees, a Nominating Committee, an Audit Committee, a Qualified Legal Compliance Committee, and a Valuation Committee, which are discussed in greater detail below under “Trust Committees”.  A majority of the Trustees are Independent Trustees, which are Trustees that are not affiliated with the Advisor, the principal underwriter, or their affiliates.  The Nominating Committee, Audit Committee and Qualified Legal Compliance Committee are comprised entirely of Independent Trustees.  The Chairman of the Board is an Independent Trustee.  The Board has determined not to combine the Chairman position and the principal executive officer position and has appointed a Senior Vice President of the Administrator as the President of the Trust.  The Board reviews its structure and the structure of its committees annually.  The Board has determined that the structure of the Independent Chairman, the composition of the Board, and the function and composition of its various committees are appropriate means to address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise.

Board Oversight of Risk Management

As part of its oversight function, the Board of Trustees receives and reviews various risk management reports and discusses these matters with appropriate management and other personnel.  Because risk management is a broad concept comprised of many elements (e.g., investment risk, issuer and counterparty risk, compliance risk, operational risks, business continuity risks, etc.), the oversight of different types of risks is handled in different ways.  For example, the Audit Committee meets with the Treasurer and the Trust’s independent registered public accounting firm to discuss, among other things, the internal control structure of the Trust’s financial reporting function.  The Board meets regularly with the Chief Compliance Officer to discuss compliance and operational risks and how they are managed.  The Board also receives reports from the Advisor as to investment risks of the Funds. In addition to these reports, from time to time the Board receives reports from the Administrator and the Advisor as to enterprise risk management.

Information about Each Trustee’s Qualification, Experience, Attributes or Skills

The Board believes that each of the Trustees has the qualifications, experience, attributes and skills (“Trustee Attributes”) appropriate to their continued service as Trustees of the Trust in light of the Trust’s business and structure.  In addition to a demonstrated record of business and/or professional accomplishment, each of the Trustees has served on the Board for a number of years. They have substantial board experience and, in their service to the Trust, have gained substantial insight as to the operation of the Trust. They have demonstrated a commitment to discharging their oversight duties as trustees in the interests of shareholders.  The Board annually conducts a “self-assessment” wherein the effectiveness of the Board and individual Trustees is reviewed.
In addition to the information provided in the chart above, below is certain additional information concerning each particular Trustee and his/her Trustee Attributes.  The information is not all-inclusive.  Many Trustee Attributes involve intangible elements, such as intelligence, integrity, work ethic, the ability to work together, the ability to communicate effectively, the ability to exercise judgment, to ask incisive questions, and commitment to shareholder interests.

Ms. Berry’s Trustee Attributes include her substantial mutual fund experience, including her role as Chairman-elect of the Independent Directors Council and a member of the Board of Governors of the Investment Company Institute. She has executive experience as the President of Talon Industries, Inc. (a consulting company) and through her former positions as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Integrated Asset Management (an investment advisor and manager) and as the President of Value Line, Inc. (an investment advisory and financial publishing firm).  Ms. Berry also has board experience with another investment management company.  Ms. Berry has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust.  The Board believes Ms. Berry’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that she possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Cook’s Trustee Attributes include his investment and executive experience through his investment consulting business and former Chief Executive Officer of Rockefeller Trust Company (an investment manager and financial advisor). He has substantial board experience, serving on the board of several foundations.  Mr. Cook has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust.  The Board believes Mr. Cook’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Froebel’s Trustee Attributes include his significant systems and operations experience. He was a Director of Scudder, Stevens & Clark (with responsibility for its systems department) and founder and President of Systems Dynamics Corp. (“SDC”) and later Vice President of Bradford Computer & Systems after its acquisition of SDC, (providing record keeping and reporting for investment advisors and mutual funds). He also served as Vice President of Automatic Data Processing (automated services to the brokerage and investment advisory industry) and was the former President and founder of National Investor Data Services, Inc. (a software and computer vendor to the mutual fund industry with fund accounting and transfer agent systems).  Mr. Froebel has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust.  The Board believes Mr. Froebel’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees lead to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Mr. Paggioli’s Trustee Attributes include his substantial mutual fund and investment advisory experience. Mr. Paggioli is an independent consultant on investment company and investment advisory matters. He has held a number of senior positions with mutual fund and investment advisory organizations and related businesses, including Executive Vice President, Director and Principal of the Wadsworth Group (fund administration, distribution transfer agency and accounting services). He serves on the boards of several investment management companies and advisory firms. He has served on various industry association and self-regulatory committees and formerly worked on the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Mr. Paggioli has been determined to qualify as an Audit Committee financial expert for the Trust.  The Board believes Mr. Paggioli’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.
Mr. Falkeis’ Trustee Attributes include his substantial mutual fund experience and his experience with financial, accounting, investment and regulatory matters through his position as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (and other positions) of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, a full service provider to mutual funds and alternative investment products.  In addition, he has experience consulting with investment advisors regarding the legal structure of mutual funds, distribution channel analysis and actual distribution of those funds.  Mr. Falkeis sits on the Board of Quasar Distributors, a third-party mutual fund principal underwriter and affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC.  The Board believes Mr. Falkeis’ experience, qualifications, attributes or skills on an individual basis and in combination with those of the other Trustees led to the conclusion that he possesses the requisite skills and attributes as a Trustee to carry out oversight responsibilities with respect to the Trust.

Trust Committees

The Trust has four standing committees: the Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee, which also serves as the Qualified Legal Compliance Committee (“QLCC”), and the Valuation Committee.

The Nominating Committee, comprised of all the Independent Trustees, is responsible for seeking and reviewing candidates for consideration as nominees for Trustees and meets only as necessary.  The Nominating Committee will consider nominees nominated by shareholders.  Recommendations by shareholders for consideration by the Nominating Committee should be sent to the President of the Trust in writing together with the appropriate biographical information concerning each such proposed Nominee, and such recommendation must comply with the notice provisions set forth in the Trust By-Laws.  In general, to comply with such procedures, such nominations, together with all required biographical information, must be delivered to and received by the President of the Trust at the principal executive offices of the Trust not later than 120 days and no more than 150 days prior to the shareholder meeting at which any such nominee would be voted on.

The Audit Committee is comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. The Audit Committee generally meets on a quarterly basis with respect to the various series of the Trust, and may meet more frequently.  The function of the Audit Committee, with respect to each series of the Trust, is to review the scope and results of the audit of such series’ financial statements and any matters bearing on the audit or the financial statements, and to ensure the integrity of the series’ pricing and financial reporting.

The function of the QLCC is to receive reports from an attorney retained by the Trust of evidence of a material violation by the Trust or by any officer, director, employee or agent of the Trust.

The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee that is comprised of one or more Independent Trustees and the Trust’s Treasurer.  The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities held by any series of the Trust for which current and reliable market quotations are not readily available.  Such securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, and the actions of the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.  The Valuation Committee meets as needed.

Neither the Independent Trustees nor members of their immediate family, own securities beneficially or of record in the Funds, the Advisor, the Funds’ principal underwriter, or any of their affiliates.  Accordingly, neither the Independent Trustees nor members of their immediate family, have had a direct or indirect interest during the two most recently completed calendar years, the value of which exceeds $120,000, in the Advisor, the Funds’ principal underwriter or any of its affiliates.

Compensation

Independent Trustees each will receive an annual retainer of $50,000 allocated among each of the various portfolios comprising the Trust. The Chairman of the Board will receive an additional annual retainer of $12,000 also allocated among each of the various portfolios comprising the Trust.  Independent Trustees will receive additional fees from applicable portfolios for any special meetings at rates assessed by the Trustees depending on the length of the meeting and whether in-person attendance is required.  Independent Trustees will also be reimbursed for expenses in connection with each Board meeting attended.  These reimbursements will be allocated among applicable portfolios of the Trust.  The Trust has no pension or retirement plan.  No other entity affiliated with the Trust pays any compensation to the Trustees.  Set forth below is the rate of estimated compensation the following Independent Trustees will receive from the Funds for the fiscal period ending December 31, 2012.

Codes of Ethics

The Trust, the Advisor and the principal underwriter have each adopted Codes of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act.  These Codes permit, subject to certain conditions, personnel of the Advisor and Distributor to invest in securities that may be purchased or held by the Funds.

 
 
The Board has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Policies”) on behalf of the Trust which delegate the responsibility for voting proxies to the Advisor, subject to the Board’s continuing oversight.  The Proxy Policies require that the Advisor vote proxies received in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Funds and its shareholders.  The Proxy Policies also require the Advisor to present to the Board, at least annually, the Advisor’s Proxy Policies and a record of each proxy voted by the Advisor on behalf of the Funds, including a report on the resolution of all proxies identified by the Advisor as involving a conflict of interest.

The Advisor has adopted Proxy Policies that underscore the Advisor’s concern that all proxies voting decisions be made in the best interest of the Funds’ shareholders.  The Advisor considers each proxy proposal individually and makes decisions on a case-by-case basis.  At all times, however, the Advisor will act in a prudent and diligent manner intended to enhance the economic value of the assets of a Fund.  The Advisor believes that market conditions and other economic considerations will influence how decisions are made on proxy proposals.  Where a proxy proposal raises a material conflict between the Advisor’s interests and a Fund’s interests, the Advisor will disclose the conflict to the Board and obtain the Board’s consent to vote or direct the matter to an independent third party, selected by the Board, for a vote determination.  If the Board’s consent or the independent third party’s determination is not received in a timely manner, the Advisor will abstain from voting the proxy.  The Advisor’s Policy is attached as Appendix B.

 

A principal shareholder is any person who owns of record or beneficially owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of a Fund.  A control person is any person who owns beneficially or through controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund or acknowledges the existence of control.  As of October 31, 2012, the Trustees and Officers of the Trust as a group did not own more than 1% of the outstanding shares of the Funds.
 
 
As of October 31, 2012, there was no control person or principal shareholder of the Funds.

 
 
As stated in the Prospectus, investment advisory services are provided to the Funds by Congress Asset Management Company, LLP, the Advisor, 2 Seaport Lane, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02210, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”).  After its initial two-year term, the Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of the Funds’ outstanding voting securities and by a majority of the Independent Trustees, who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or interested persons of any such party, in each case cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Advisory Agreement.  The Advisory Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on behalf of the Funds on not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the Advisor when authorized either by a majority vote of the Funds’ shareholders or by a vote of a majority of the Trustees, or by the Advisor on not more than 60 days’, nor less than 30 days’, written notice to the Trust, and will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).  The Advisory Agreement provides that the Advisor shall not be liable under such agreement for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of portfolio transactions for the Funds, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties thereunder.

In consideration of the services provided by the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive from the Funds an investment advisory fee computed daily and paid monthly, based on a rate equal to 0.60% of each Fund’s average daily net assets as specified in the Funds’ Prospectus.  However, the Advisor may voluntarily agree to reduce a portion of the fees payable to it on a month-to-month basis.

The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses.  The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expense, interest expense in connection with investment activities, tax, and extraordinary expenses) in order to the limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for shares of the Funds to 1.00% and 0.75% of the Funds’ Retail Class shares’ and Institutional Class shares’ average net assets, respectively (the “Expense Caps”).  The Expense Caps will remain in effect until at least October 31, 2014, and may continue thereafter for an indefinite period, as determined by the Board.  The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three fiscal years.  Any such reimbursement is subject to the Board’s review and approval.  This reimbursement may be requested by the Advisor if the aggregate amount actually paid by a Fund toward operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Caps.

Portfolio Managers’ Compensation. All of the above portfolio managers’ compensation consists of a base salary, an annual bonus and may have an equity participation in the firm

Portfolio Managers’ Ownership in the Funds. As of the date of this SAI, the Funds had not commenced operations; therefore, no portfolio manager beneficially owned shares of any of the Funds.

Conflicts of Interest for Portfolio Managers. Because the Advisor performs investment management services for various clients, certain conflicts of interest could arise.  The Advisor may give advice and take action with respect to its other clients and/or funds that may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to the Funds.  The Advisor will have no obligation to purchase or sell for the Funds, or to recommend for purchase or sale by the Funds, any security that the Advisor, its principals, its affiliates, or its employees may purchase for themselves or for other clients and/or funds at the same time or the same price.  Where the Advisor buys or sells the same security for two or more clients, it may place concurrent orders with a single broker, to be executed together as a single “block” in order to facilitate orderly and efficient execution.
 

Administrator, Transfer Agent and Fund Accountant

Pursuant to an administration agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, (“USBFS”) 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 acts as the Administrator to the Funds.  USBFS provides certain services to the Funds including, among other responsibilities, coordinating the negotiation of contracts and fees with, and the monitoring of performance and billing of, the Funds’ independent contractors and agents; preparation for signature by an officer of the Trust of all documents required to be filed for compliance by the Trust and the Funds with applicable laws and regulations, excluding those of the securities laws of various states; arranging for the computation of performance data, including NAV and yield; responding to shareholder inquiries; and arranging for the maintenance of books and records of the Funds, and providing, at its own expense, office facilities, equipment and personnel necessary to carry out its duties.  In this capacity, USBFS does not have any responsibility or authority for the management of the Funds, the determination of investment policy, or for any matter pertaining to the distribution of the Funds’ shares.
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, as compensation for its services, USBFS will receive from the Funds, a fee based on the Funds’ current average daily net assets.  USBFS also is entitled to certain out-of-pocket expenses.  USBFS also acts as fund accountant, transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent under separate agreements.  Additionally, USBFS provides CCO services to the Trust under a separate agreement.  The cost for the CCO services is allocated to the Funds by the Board of Trustees.  The Funds commenced operations on October __, 2012; therefore, the Funds have not yet paid USBFS pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

Custodian

U.S. Bank National Association (the “Custodian”), is the custodian of the assets of the Funds pursuant to a custody agreement between the Custodian and the Trust, whereby the Custodian provides for fees on a transactional basis plus out-of-pocket expenses.  The Custodian’s address is 1555 N. River Center Drive, Suite 302, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53212.  The Custodian does not participate in decisions relating to the purchase and sale of securities by the Funds.  USBFS, the Custodian, and the Funds’ principal underwriter are affiliated entities under the common control of U.S. Bancorp.  The Custodian and its affiliates may participate in revenue sharing arrangements with the service providers of mutual funds in which the Funds may invest.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Legal Counsel

_____________, is the independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds.

Paul Hastings LLP, 75 East 55th Street, New York, New York, 10022, serves as legal counsel to the Trust.

 
 
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor determines which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Funds and which broker-dealers are eligible to execute the Funds’ portfolio transactions.  Purchases and sales of securities in the OTC market will generally be executed directly with a “market-maker” unless, in the opinion of the Advisor, a better price and execution can otherwise be obtained by using a broker for the transaction.

Purchases of portfolio securities for the Funds also may be made directly from issuers or from underwriters.  Where possible, purchase and sale transactions will be effected through dealers (including banks) that specialize in the types of securities that the Funds will be holding, unless better executions are available elsewhere.  Dealers and underwriters usually act as principal for their own accounts.  Purchases from underwriters will include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and purchases from dealers will include the spread between the bid and the asked price.  If the execution and price offered by more than one dealer or underwriter are comparable, the order may be allocated to a dealer or underwriter that has provided research or other services as discussed below.

In placing portfolio transactions, the Advisor will use its reasonable efforts to choose broker-dealers capable of providing the services necessary to obtain the most favorable price and execution available.  The full range and quality of services available will be considered in making these determinations, such as the size of the order, the difficulty of execution, the operational facilities of the firm involved, the firm’s risk in positioning a block of securities, and other factors.  In those instances where it is reasonably determined that more than one broker-dealer can offer the services needed to obtain the most favorable price and execution available, consideration may be given to those broker-dealers that furnish or supply research and statistical information to the Advisor, to the extent the Advisor  may lawfully and appropriately use such research and information in its investment advisory capacity, as well as provide other services in addition to execution services.  The Advisor considers such information, which is in addition to and not in lieu of the services required to be performed by it under the Advisory Agreement, to be useful in varying degrees, but of indeterminable value.  Portfolio transactions may be placed with broker-dealers that sell shares of the Funds subject to rules adopted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Association and the SEC.
While it is the Funds’ general policy to first seek to obtain the most favorable price and execution available in selecting a broker-dealer to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, weight is also given to the ability of a broker-dealer to furnish brokerage and research services (as defined by Section 28(e) under the Exchange Act) to the Funds or to the Advisor, even if the specific services are not directly useful to the Funds and may be useful to the Advisor in advising other clients.  In negotiating commissions with a broker or evaluating the spread to be paid to a dealer, the Funds may therefore pay a higher commission or spread than would be the case if no weight were given to the furnishing of these supplemental services, provided that the amount of such commission or spread has been determined in good faith by the Advisor to be reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker-dealer.  The standard of reasonableness is to be measured in light of the Advisor’s overall responsibilities to the Funds.  The Advisor will not receive hard dollar credits or, if the Advisor does, the amount of such credits will be immaterial.

Investment decisions for the Funds are made independently from those of other client accounts or mutual funds (“Other Accounts”) managed or advised by the Advisor.  Nevertheless, it is possible that at times identical securities will be acceptable for both the Funds and one or more of such other accounts.  In such event, the position of the Funds and such other accounts in the same issuer may vary and the length of time that each may choose to hold its investment in the same issuer may likewise vary.  However, to the extent any of such other accounts seeks to acquire the same security as the Funds at the same time, the Funds may not be able to acquire as large a portion of such security as it desires, or it may have to pay a higher price or obtain a lower yield for such security.  Similarly, the Funds may not be able to obtain as high a price for, or as large an execution of, an order to sell any particular security at the same time.  If one or more of such other accounts simultaneously purchases or sells the same security that the Funds are purchasing or selling, each day’s transactions in such security will be allocated between the Funds and all such other accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Advisor, taking into account the respective sizes of the accounts and the amount being purchased or sold.  It is recognized that in some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security insofar as the Funds are concerned.  In other cases, however, it is believed that the ability of the Funds to participate in volume transactions may produce better executions for the Funds.

The Funds do not effect securities transactions through brokers in accordance with any formula, nor does it effect securities transactions through brokers for selling shares of the Funds. However, as stated above, broker-dealers who execute brokerage transactions may effect purchase of shares of the Funds for their customers.
 

Shares issued by the Funds have no preemptive, conversion, or subscription rights.  Shares issued and sold by the Funds are deemed to be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable by the Trust.  Shareholders have equal and exclusive rights as to dividends and distributions as declared by the Funds and to the net assets of the Funds upon liquidation or dissolution.  The Funds, as a separate series of the Trust, votes separately on matters affecting only the Funds (e.g., approval of the Advisory Agreement); all series of the Trust vote as a single class on matters affecting all series jointly or the Trust as a whole (e.g., election or removal of Trustees).  Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in any election of Trustees can, if they so choose, elect all of the Trustees.  While the Trust is not required and does not intend to hold annual meetings of shareholders, such meetings may be called by the Board in its discretion, or upon demand by the holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares of the Trust, for the purpose of electing or removing Trustees.

 

As noted in the Prospectus, the NAV of the Funds will be determined once daily as of the close of public trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE is open for trading.  It is expected that the Exchange will be closed on Saturdays and Sundays and on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas.  The Funds does not expect to determine the NAV on any day when the Exchange is not open for trading even if there is sufficient trading in its portfolio securities on such days to materially affect the NAV per share.
 
 
In valuing the Funds’ assets for calculating NAV, readily marketable portfolio securities listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of which such value is being determined.  If there has been no sale on such exchange on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day.  Securities primarily traded in the Nasdaq National Market System (“NASDAQ”) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).  If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Readily marketable securities traded only in the OTC market and not on NASDAQ are valued at the most recent trade price.  All other assets of the Funds are valued in such manner as the Board in good faith deems appropriate to reflect their fair value.

Trading in foreign securities markets is normally completed well before the close of the NYSE.  In addition, foreign securities trading may not take place on all days on which the NYSE is open for trading, and may occur in certain foreign markets on days on which the Funds’ NAV is not calculated.  Events affecting the values of portfolio securities that occur between the time their prices are determined and the close of the NYSE will not be reflected in the calculation of NAV unless the Board deems that the particular event would affect NAV, in which case an adjustment will be made in such manner as the Board in good faith deems appropriate to determine fair market value.  Assets or liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated, in determining NAV, into U.S. dollars based on the spot exchange rates, or at such other rates as the Advisor, pursuant to fair value procedures adopted by the Board, may determine to be appropriate.
 
 
The information provided below supplements the information contained in the Prospectus regarding the purchase and redemption of the Funds’ shares.

How to Buy Shares

In addition to purchasing shares directly from the Funds, you may purchase shares of the Funds through certain financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Funds and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Funds (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”). Investors should contact their Financial Intermediary directly for appropriate instructions, as well as information pertaining to accounts and any service or transaction fees that may be charged.  If you transmit your order to these Financial Intermediaries before the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on a day that the NYSE is open for business, your order will be priced at the Funds’ NAV next computed after it is received by the Financial Intermediary.  Investors should check with their Financial Intermediary to determine if it participates in these arrangements.

The public offering price of the Funds’ shares is the NAV.  Shares are purchased at the public offering price next determined after the transfer agent receives your order in proper form, as discussed in the Funds’ Prospectus.  In order to receive that day’s public offering price, the transfer agent must receive your order in proper form before the close of regular trading on the NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time.

The Trust reserves the right in its sole discretion (i) to suspend the continued offering of the Funds’ shares, (ii) to reject purchase orders in whole or in part when in the judgment of the Advisor or the distributor such rejection is in the best interest of the Funds, and (iii) to reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments for certain fiduciary accounts or under circumstances where certain economies can be achieved in sales of the Funds’ shares.

In addition to cash purchases, the Funds’ shares may be purchased by tendering payment in-kind in the form of shares of stock, bonds or other securities.  Any securities used to buy the Funds’ shares must be readily marketable, their acquisition consistent with the Funds’ objective and otherwise acceptable to the Advisor and the Board.

Automatic Investment Plan

As discussed in the Prospectus, the Funds provide an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”) for the convenience of investors who wish to purchase shares of the Funds on a regular basis.  All record keeping and custodial costs of the AIP are paid by the Funds.  The market value of the Funds’ shares is subject to fluctuation.  Prior to participating in the AIP the investor should keep in mind that this plan does not assure a profit nor protect against depreciation in declining markets.

How to Sell Shares and Delivery of Redemption Proceeds

You can sell your Fund shares any day the NYSE is open for regular trading, either directly to the Funds or through your Financial Intermediary.

Payments to shareholders for shares of the Funds redeemed directly from the Funds will be made as promptly as possible, but no later than seven days after receipt by the Funds’ transfer agent of the written request in proper form, with the appropriate documentation as stated in the Prospectus, except that the Funds may suspend the right of redemption or postpone the date of payment during any period when (a) trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or the NYSE is closed for other than weekends and holidays; (b) an emergency exists as determined by the SEC making disposal of portfolio securities or valuation of net assets of the Funds not reasonably practicable; or (c) for such other period as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Funds’ shareholders. Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than seven days, but only as authorized by SEC rules.
The value of shares on redemption or repurchase may be more or less than the investor’s cost, depending upon the market value of the Funds’ portfolio securities at the time of redemption or repurchase.

Telephone Redemptions

Shareholders with telephone transaction privileges established on their account may redeem Fund shares by telephone.  Upon receipt of any instructions or inquiries by telephone from shareholders, the Funds or their authorized agents may carry out the instructions and/or to respond to the inquiry consistent with the shareholder’s previously established account service options.  For joint accounts, instructions or inquiries from either party will be carried out without prior notice to the other account owners.  In acting upon telephone instructions, the Funds and their agents use procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure that such instructions are genuine.  These include recording all telephone calls, requiring pertinent information about the account and sending written confirmation of each transaction to the registered owner.

The transfer agent will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone are genuine.  If the transfer agent fails to employ reasonable procedures, a Fund and the transfer agent may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.  If these procedures are followed, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, neither the Funds nor its agents will be liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense arising out of any redemption request, including any fraudulent or unauthorized request.  For additional information, contact the transfer agent.

Redemptions In-Kind

The Trust has filed an election under Rule 18f-1 committing to pay in cash all redemptions by a shareholder of record up to amounts specified by the rule (in excess of the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 1% of a Fund’s assets).  The Funds have reserved the right to pay the redemption price of its shares in excess of the amounts specified by the rule, either totally or partially, by a distribution in-kind of portfolio securities (instead of cash).  The securities so distributed would be valued at the same amount as that assigned to them in calculating the NAV for the shares being sold.  If a shareholder receives a distribution in-kind, the shareholder could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash and will bear any market risks associated with such securities until they are converted into cash.  A redemption in-kind is treated as a taxable transaction and a sale of the redeemed shares, generally resulting in capital gain or loss to you, subject to certain loss limitation rules.

The Funds do not intend to hold any significant percentage of its portfolio in illiquid securities, although the Funds, like virtually all mutual funds, may from time to time hold a small percentage of securities that are illiquid. In the unlikely event the Funds were to elect to make an in-kind redemption, the Funds expect that it would follow the normal protocol of making such distribution by way of a pro rata distribution based on its entire portfolio. If the Funds held illiquid securities, such distribution may contain a pro rata portion of such illiquid securities or the Funds may determine, based on a materiality assessment, not to include illiquid securities in the in-kind redemption. The Funds do not anticipate that it would ever selectively distribute a greater than pro rata portion of any illiquid securities to satisfy a redemption request. If such securities are included in the distribution, shareholders may not be able to liquidate such securities and may be required to hold such securities indefinitely. Shareholders’ ability to liquidate such securities distributed in-kind may be restricted by resale limitations or substantial restrictions on transfer imposed by the issuers of the securities or by law. Shareholders may only be able to liquidate such securities distributed in-kind at a substantial discount from their value, and there may be higher brokerage costs associated with any subsequent disposition of these securities by the recipient.
 
 
Distributions.
Dividends of net investment income and distributions of net capital gains from the sale of securities are generally made annually, as described in the Prospectus.  Also, the Funds typically distribute any undistributed net investment income on or about December 31 of each year.  Any net capital gains realized through the period ended October 31 of each year will also typically be distributed by December 31 of each year.

Each distribution by the Funds is accompanied by a brief explanation of the form and character of the distribution.  In January of each year, the Funds will issue to each shareholder a statement of the federal income tax status of all distributions that relate to the previous year.

A dividend or distribution paid shortly after a purchase of shares by a shareholder would represent, in substance, a partial return of capital (to the extent it is paid on the shares so purchased), even though it would be subject to income taxes.

Tax Information.
Each series of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.  Each Fund intends to elect to qualify and to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided it complies with all applicable requirements regarding the source of its income, diversification of its assets and timing and amount of distributions.  The Funds’ policy is to distribute to its shareholders all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains for each fiscal year in a manner that complies with the distribution requirements applicable to regulated investment companies under the Code, so that the Funds will not  be subject to any federal income or excise taxes.  However, the Funds can give no assurances that its distributions will be sufficient to eliminate all taxes.  In order to avoid a nondeductible excise tax, the Funds must also distribute (or be deemed to have distributed) by December 31 of each calendar year (1) at least 98% of its ordinary income for such year, (2) at least 98.2% of the excess of its realized capital gains over its realized capital losses for the 12-month period ending on November 31 during such year and (3) any amounts from the prior calendar year that were not distributed and on which the Funds paid no federal income tax.  If the Funds fail to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M, it will be taxed as a corporation.

In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, the Funds must, among other things, derive at least 90% of its gross income each year from dividends, interest, payments with respect to loans of stock and securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currency gains related to investments in stock or securities, or other income (generally including gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to the business of investing in stock, securities or currency, and net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership.  The Funds must also satisfy the following two asset diversification tests.  At the end of each quarter of each taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the value of the Funds’ total assets must be represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. Government securities, the securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, with such other securities being limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the value of the Funds’ total assets and not more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of the Funds’ total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies), the securities of any two or more issuers (other than the securities of other regulated investment companies) that the Funds control (by owning 20% or more of their outstanding voting stock) and that are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or related trades or businesses, or the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships.  The Funds must also distribute each taxable year sufficient dividends to its shareholders to claim a dividends paid deduction equal to at least the sum of 90% of the Funds’ investment company taxable income (which generally includes dividends, interest, and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) and 90% of the Funds’ net tax-exempt interest, if any.
The Funds’ ordinary income generally consists of interest and dividend income, less expenses.  Net realized capital gains for a fiscal period are computed by taking into account any capital loss carry-forward of the Funds.  As of October 31, 2012, the Funds, having recently commenced operations, had no capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes.

Distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital gains are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.  For individual shareholders, a portion of the distributions paid by the Funds may be qualified dividends currently eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain rates to the extent the Funds report the amount distributed as a qualifying dividend and certain holding period requirements are met.  In the case of corporate shareholders, a portion of the distributions may qualify for the inter-corporate dividends-received deduction to the extent the Funds report the amount distributed as a qualifying dividend and certain holding period requirements are met.  The aggregate amount so reported to either individual or corporate shareholders cannot, however, exceed the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends received by the Funds for its taxable year.  In view of the Funds’ investment policy, it is expected that dividends from domestic corporations will be part of the Funds’ gross income and that, accordingly, part of the distributions by the Funds may be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income by individual shareholders, or for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders.  However, the portion of the Funds’ gross income attributable to qualifying dividends is largely dependent on the Funds’ investment activities for a particular year and therefore cannot be predicted with any certainty.  The deduction may be reduced or eliminated if the Funds’ shares held by an individual investor are held for less than 61 days, or shares held by a corporate investor are treated as debt-financed or are held for less than 46 days.

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes and withholding on dividends and interest earned with respect to securities of foreign corporations.  Based on the principal investment strategies of the Funds, it is not expected that the Funds will be eligible to pass through to shareholders any credits or deductions with respect to such foreign taxes.

Redemption of Fund shares may result in recognition of a taxable gain or loss.  Any loss realized upon redemption of shares within six months from the date of their purchase will be treated as a long term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as distributions of long term capital gains during such six month period.  Any loss realized upon a redemption may be disallowed under certain wash sale rules to the extent shares of the Funds are purchased (through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after the redemption.

Under the Code, the Funds will be required to report to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) all distributions of ordinary income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption or exchange of Fund shares, except in the case of exempt shareholders, which includes most corporations.  Pursuant to the backup withholding provisions of the Code, distributions of any taxable income and capital gains and proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares may be subject to withholding of federal income tax at a rate of 28% in the case of non-exempt shareholders who fail to furnish the Funds with their taxpayer identification numbers and with required certifications regarding their status under the federal income tax law.  If the withholding provisions are applicable, any such distributions and proceeds, whether taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be reduced by the amounts required to be withheld.  Corporate and other exempt shareholders should provide the Funds with their taxpayer identification numbers or certify their exempt status in order to avoid possible erroneous application of backup withholding.  Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amount withheld may be credited against a shareholder’s ultimate federal income tax liability if proper documentation is provided.  The Funds reserve the right to refuse to open an account for any person failing to provide a certified taxpayer identification number.
Distributions and the transactions referred to in the preceding paragraphs may be subject to state and local income taxes, and the tax treatment thereof may differ from the federal income tax treatment.

The foregoing discussion of U.S. federal income tax law relates solely to the application of that law to U.S. citizens or residents and U.S. domestic corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates.  Each shareholder who is not a U.S. person should consider the U.S. and foreign tax consequences of ownership of shares of the Funds, including the possibility that such a shareholder may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or at a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on amounts constituting ordinary income.

In addition, the foregoing discussion of tax law is based on existing provisions of the Code, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, and current administrative rulings and court decisions, all of which are subject to change.  Any such changes could affect the validity of this discussion.  The discussion also represents only a general summary of tax law and practice currently applicable to the Funds and certain shareholders therein, and, as such, is subject to change.  In particular, the consequences of an investment in shares of the Funds under the laws of any state, local or foreign taxing jurisdictions are not discussed herein.  Each prospective investor should consult his or her own tax advisor to determine the application of the tax law and practice in his or her own particular circumstances.

The advice herein was prepared for the Funds.  Any person reviewing this discussion should seek advice based on such person’s particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

 
 
Quasar Distributors, LLC, 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 (“Quasar”), serves as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares.  Pursuant to a distribution agreement between the Funds and Quasar (the “Distribution Agreement”), Quasar acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter and distributor and provides certain administrative services and promotes and arranges for the sale of the Funds’ shares.  Quasar is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

The Distribution Agreement between the Funds and Quasar will continue in effect only if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of a majority of each Fund’s outstanding voting securities and, in either case, by a majority of the Independent Trustees.  The Distribution Agreement is terminable without penalty by the Trust on behalf of each Fund on 60 days’ written notice when authorized either by a majority vote of each Fund’s shareholders or by vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, or by Quasar on 60 days’ written notice, and will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act).
Distribution Plan

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Retail Class shares of the Funds under which each Fund pays the Distributor an amount which is accrued daily and paid quarterly, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Retail Class shares of each Fund.  Amounts paid under the Plan, by each Fund, are paid to the Distributor to reimburse it for costs of the services it provides and the expenses it bears in the distribution of each Fund’s Retail Class shares, including overhead and telephone expenses; printing and distribution of prospectuses and reports used in connection with the offering of each Fund’s Retail Class shares to prospective investors; and preparation, printing and distribution of sales literature and advertising materials.  Such fee is paid to the Distributor each year only to the extent of such costs and expenses of the Distributor under the Plan actually incurred in that year.  In addition, payments to the Distributor under the Plan reimburse the Distributor for payments it makes to selected dealers and administrators which have entered into Service Agreements with the Distributor of periodic fees for services provided to shareholders of each Fund.  The services provided by selected dealers pursuant to the Plan are primarily designed to promote the sale of shares of each Fund and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to each Fund in servicing such shareholders.  The services provided by the administrators pursuant to the Plan are designed to provide support services to each Fund and include establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and records, processing purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding each Fund and providing other services to each Fund as may be required.

Under the Plan, the Trustees will be furnished quarterly with information detailing the amount of expenses paid under the Plan and the purposes for which payments were made.  The Plan may be terminated at any time by vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons.  Continuation of the Plan is considered by such Trustees no less frequently than annually.  With the exception of the Distributor and the Advisor, in their capacities as the Funds’ principal underwriter and distribution coordinator, respectively, no interested person has or had a direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or any related agreement.

While there is no assurance that the expenditures of each Fund’s assets to finance distribution of shares will have the anticipated results, the Board believes there is a reasonable likelihood that one or more of such benefits will result, and because the Board is in a position to monitor the distribution expenses, it is able to determine the benefit of such expenditures in deciding whether to continue the Plan.
 
 
The Advisor, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Funds or its shareholders, may provide additional cash payments or other compensation to certain Financial Intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds.  The Advisor does not currently intend to make such payments, but reserves the right to initiate payments in the future without notice to shareholders.  These payments may be divided into categories as follows:

Support Payments.
Payments may be made by the Advisor to certain Financial Intermediaries in connection with the eligibility of the Funds to be offered in certain programs and/or in connection with meetings between the Funds’ representatives and Financial Intermediaries and their sales representatives.  Such meetings may be held for various purposes, including providing education and training about the Funds and other general financial topics to assist Financial Intermediaries’ sales representatives in making informed recommendations to, and decisions on behalf of, their clients.

Entertainment, Conferences and Events.
The Advisor also may pay cash or non-cash compensation to sales representatives of financial intermediaries in the form of (i) occasional gifts; (ii) occasional meals, tickets or other entertainments; and/or (iii) sponsorship support for the financial intermediary’s client seminars and cooperative advertising.  In addition, the Advisor pays for exhibit space or sponsorships at regional or national events of financial intermediaries.

The prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional payments or other compensation as described above by financial intermediaries may provide such intermediaries and/or their salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of shares of the Funds, and other mutual funds whose affiliates make similar compensation available, over sale of shares of mutual funds (or non-mutual fund investments) not making such payments. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to the Fund shares.

As of the date of this SAI, the Advisor does not have agreements with any firms to pay such Support Payments.  Future Support Payments may be structured in three ways:  (1) as a percentage of net sales; (2) as a percentage of net assets; and/or (3) a flat fee.
 
 
Investors in each Fund will be informed of the  Fund’s progress through periodic reports.  Financial Statements certified by an independent registered public accounting firm will be submitted to shareholders at least annually.  Since the Funds had not commenced operations as of the date of this SAI, no financial statements are available.
 
 



CORPORATE BOND RATINGS*

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Aaa: Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality.  They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as “gilt edge.” Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.  While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.  Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuations or protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make long-term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.

A:  Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations.  Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.

Baa: Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.  Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time.  Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group

AAA: Bonds rated AAA are highest grade debt obligations.  This rating indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.

AA: Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations.  Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances they differ from AAA issues only in small degree.

A:  Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions.

BBB: Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest.  Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category than for bonds in the A category.

*
Ratings are generally given to securities at the time of issuance.  While the rating agencies may from time to time revise such ratings, they undertake no obligation to do so.
COMMERCIAL PAPER RATINGS


Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group

A Standard & Poor’s commercial paper rating is a current assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of debt having an original maturity of no more than 365 days.  Ratings are graded into several categories, ranging from ‘A’ for the highest-quality obligations to ‘D’ for the lowest.  These categories are as follows:

A-1 - This designation indicates that the degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong.  Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation.

A-2 - Capacity for timely payment on issues with this designation is satisfactory.  However, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues designated ‘A-1’.

A-3 - Issues carrying this designation have an adequate capacity for timely payment.  They are, however, more vulnerable to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances than obligations carrying the higher designations.

B - Issues rated ‘B’ are regarded as having only speculative capacity for timely payment.

C - This rating is assigned to short-term debt obligations with a doubtful capacity for payment.

D – Debt rated ‘D’ is in payment default.  The ‘D’ rating category is used when interest payments of principal payments are not made on the date due, even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor’s believes such payments will be made during such grace period.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Moody’s short-term debt ratings are opinions on the ability of issuers to punctually repay senior debt obligations.  These obligations have an original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.  Moody’s employs the following three designations, all judged to be investment grade to indicate the relative repayment ability of rated issuers:

Prime-1 - Issuers rated Prime-1 (or supporting institutions) have a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.  Prime-1 repayment ability will often be evidenced by many of the following characteristics:  leading market positions in well-established industries; high rates of return on funds employed; conservative capitalization structure with moderate reliance on debt and ample asset protection; broad margins in earnings coverage of fixed financial charges and high internal cash generation; and well-established access to a range of financial markets and assured sources of alternate liquidity.

Prime-2 - Issuers rated Prime-2 (or supporting institutions) have a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.  This will normally be evidenced by many of the characteristics cited above but to a lesser degree.  Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation.  Capitalization characteristics, while still appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions.  Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3 - Issuers rated Prime-3 (or supporting institutions) have an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.  The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced.  Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage.  Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.
Not Prime - Issuers rated Not Prime do not fall within any of the Prime rating categories.

PROXY POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

I.
PROXY POLICIES

Responsibility
An integral part of Congress Asset Management Company, LLP’s responsibility as an investment manager and plan fiduciary, as outlined in rule 206(4)-6 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and subsequent Department of Labor policy statements, is the duty to vote proxies on behalf of our clients when proxy voting authority has been delegated to us.  Congress Asset Management Company, LLP accepts its fiduciary responsibility to vote proxies under these circumstances.  This statement is intended to set forth those policies and guidelines to be followed in carrying out our responsibility.
General Principles of Voting
Proxy voting rights have been declared by the Department of Labor to be valuable plan assets and therefore must be exercised in accordance with the fiduciary duties of loyalty and prudence.  This policy statement has been carefully crafted to meet the requirements of loyalty and prudence and will be employed by the Proxy committee in its proxy voting procedures and decisions.

The duty of loyalty required that a voting fiduciary exercised its proxy voting authority solely in the interests of its clients, or plan participants and beneficiaries and for the exclusive purpose of providing plan benefits to participants and beneficiaries.  The voting fiduciary is prohibited from subordinating the interests of participants and beneficiaries to unrelated objectives.

The duty of prudence requires that proxy-voting authority be exercised with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence that a similarly situated prudent person knowledgeable in such matters would exercise.  Thus, in making proxy voting decisions, issues based on the merits of each.  Congress Asset Management Company, LLP shall seek out information from a variety of sources to determine what is in the long term economic best interests of its clients, plan participants and beneficiaries prior to making our decision.

In keeping with its fiduciary responsibilities, Congress Asset Management Company, LLP will vote proxies in accordance with the “economic best interests” of its clients, plan participants and beneficiaries.  In its deliberation, Congress Asset Management Company, LLP will consider the long-term impact of business plans on all affected parties including shareholders, debt holders, employees, retired workers, and communities in which the firm operates.  The Proxy Committee will weigh all factors affecting these constituents and exercise its fiduciary obligation in accordance with the “economic best interests” of all concerned to the best of its ability.

Decisions Free of Outside Influence
Congress Asset Management Company, LLP shall take into consideration the general positions of trustees and other fiduciaries in deciding how to vote proxies.  Congress Asset Management Company, LLP currently utilizes the services of Broadridge, an independent provider of proxy voting services.   Such services may include voting execution, comprehensive reporting, and supporting justification.  However, any influence imposed upon us by a person or persons who have a direct personal or financial interest in the outcome will be rejected as a violation of ERISA and our moral obligation to plan participants, and clients.  On contested issues the guiding principle shall be the long term “economic best interests” of all affected parties.  The interest of any one group shall not dominate the decision to the detriment of other affected parties.

Clients and prospective clients should be aware that by voting proxies, Congress Asset Management Company, LLP could create a potential conflict of interest (i.e., Congress Asset Management Company, LLP typically follows the recommendation of the AFL-CIO when voting proxies for Taft-Hartley clients, while at the same time is actively soliciting new business from the Taft-Hartley market.)

II.
PROXY PROCEDURES

Proxy Administrator
The designated Proxy Administrator will review and organize all incoming proxies for the proxy committee in a timely manner.  The Proxy Administrator will attend all meetings of the Proxy Committee, and keep records of proxy votes.

Proxy Committee
The Proxy Committee shall have final responsibility for all proxy decisions at Congress Asset Management Company, LLP.  Proxies will be voted in the best economic interests of participants in the plan and their beneficiaries.  The circumstances underlying each proxy will be given careful individual attention.  The Proxy Committee will use all available resources to help in evaluating proxy issues.  The Proxy Committee has a contractual agreement with Broadridge to provide evaluation of each individual proxy.
If the Proxy Committee reaches a unanimous decision concerning a proxy issues, the Proxy Administrator shall be instructed to vote accordingly and no further action shall be required.  If the Proxy committee is unable to reach a unanimous decision, a simple majority of the Proxy Committee shall be required for a final ruling on proxy issues.

Record Keeping
1)  
All corporate governance and proxy issues will be presented to the Proxy Committee for review and analysis on a case by case basis.

2)  
The basis for any disputed decision will be documented.  Including whether the advice of any individual outside of the organization was acted upon.

3)  
A detailed record will be maintained indicating and cross-referencing how proxies were voted and for which accounts they were voted.

4)  
Records of proxy voting will be made available to sponsors and clients upon a written request to:

Code of Ethics for the Trust (Professionally Managed Portfolios) is herein incorporated by reference from Post-Effective Amendment No. 445 to the Trust’s Registration Statement on Form N-1A, filed with the SEC on March 5, 2012.

Item 29.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with Registrant

No person is directly or indirectly controlled by or under common control with the Registrant.

Item 30.  Indemnification

Reference is made to Article VII of the Registrant’s Declaration of Trust (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213) on December 29, 1995), Article VI of Registrant’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213) on February 18, 2003), and Paragraph 6 of the Distribution Agreement (previously filed with the Registration Statement on Form N-1A (File No. 33-12213 on February 12, 2002).  With respect to the Registrant, the general effect of these provisions is to indemnify any person (Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent, among others) who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their official or duly authorized capacity on behalf of the Trust.  With respect to the distributor, the general effect of the relevant provisions is to indemnify those entities for claims arising out of any untrue statement or material fact contained in the Funds' Registration Statement, reports to shareholders or advertising and sales literature.

Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “1933 Act”) the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking:  “Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the 1933 Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.”

Item 31.  Business and Other Connections of Investment Adviser

With respect to the Advisers, the response to this Item will be incorporated by reference to the Advisers’ Uniform Applications for Investment Adviser Registration (“Form ADV”) on file with the SEC.  Each Adviser’s Form ADV may be obtained, free of charge, at the SEC’s website at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.
