MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited)

December 31, 2023

Market Overview | Second Quarter 2023

The market's performance for most of 2023 was driven by the "Magnificent 7" Technology stocks. However, in the fourth quarter, we saw signs that the market is broadening. The market rallied from its third-quarter plunge, with much of recovered ground due to stabilizing interest rates and moderating inflation. The S&P 500 Total Return (TR) rose 11.69% for the quarter and 26.29% for the year, the Dow Jones Industrial (TR) gained 13.09% in the quarter and 16.18% in 2023, and the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index returned 6.63% in the fourth quarter and 5.72% for the year.

Economic indicators were generally mixed throughout 2023. The labor market has remained resilient to lulls in the market, with unemployment remaining close to record lows. Jobless claims have gone up-and-down from week-to-week, but they've stayed at very low levels. However, the housing market is struggling, with sales of existing homes down substantially. On the other hand, new construction is increasing, and prices are holding up. Finally, despite consumer confidence being soft throughout much of the year, household spending still grew at a moderate pace.

Looking back at 2023, inflation was the central theme throughout and continued its gradual slow down. There were some nervous moments, particularly in the third quarter when oil prices spiked higher and economic growth temporarily accelerated. Market worries that inflation was rising once again led to a sell-off. But as the fourth quarter progressed, those trends reversed, and the inflation news continued to improve. In November, the Federal Reserve (Fed) delivered an early Christmas present, declaring that interest rate cuts are likely in 2024.

More glad tidings about inflation arrived just before Christmas. In December, the federal government reported that the personal-consumption expenditures (PCE) price index, an index closely monitored by the Fed, fell 0.1% in November. That's the first time that the PCE index had declined since April 2020. The government also reported that core inflation dropped to an annualized rate of 1.9%.

Other economic data provided additional comfort and joy during the holiday season. Overall personal income rose 0.4% in November, compared to a 0.3% gain in October. What's more, consumer spending rose 0.2% in November, higher than 0.1% in October, though lower than September's 0.7% increase. All this may be why the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index rose significantly in December, with early signs suggesting that shoppers boosted their holiday spending. All this upbeat news led the economy and the market to end the year mostly merry and bright.

Future Outlook

Early in 2023, the outlook for earnings deteriorated. In January, the consensus was that earnings would grow 8% for the year. By April, the expectation was no growth at all. But from there, earnings growth expectations began to climb. Now, the consensus for 2023 is that earnings grew 7% and are expected to grow 6% in 2024. The positive trends in earnings, interest rates, and of course inflation all provide support to the market outlook for 2024.

With earnings growth expectations improving, many stocks that lagged the market last year have brighter prospects in 2024. Value stocks could become in vogue again. In 2022, value stocks outperformed growth by about 23%, but that more than reversed last year, with growth outperforming value by 37%. We anticipated that growth stocks would perform better due to a dampening earnings picture. Now, the trends suggest that sectors dominated by value holdings could come back powerfully in the coming year.

The future also looks sunnier for mid-cap stocks. While the gap between large-cap and mid-cap valuations has widened in the past few years, it's worth noting that mid-cap earnings growth has kept pace with the S&P 500. We believe many mid-caps are trading at a discount, and we expect the valuation gap to close at least a little bit.

MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited) (continued)

However, there is one dark cloud on the horizon in consumer spending. While consumers seemed more upbeat at the end of 2023, the gloom they felt through most of last year hasn't completely lifted. Despite a resilient economy, many people still feel that their finances are tight. One reason: While inflation is slowing and wages have been rising, the prices of goods remain well above their pre-pandemic levels. In other words, while the cost of dinner at a favorite restaurant may not have increased since September, it could still be 20 percent higher than in 2021. Those kinds of elevated prices can cause a lasting gloom that takes a while to dissipate. To be sure, some items did drop in price during the fourth quarter, but many families are still finding it difficult to make ends meet.

As we look forward to 2024, we remain committed to investing in companies with durable competitive advantages for the long-term. Whether we experience a soft landing or a recession, we invest for entire economic cycles and not the short-term. We will continue with the same investment process and philosophy that has served our clients well for more than 90 years.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  December 31, 2023

The Mairs & Power Growth Fund posted solid 2024 results and outperformed the S&P 500 TR Index. The Fund returned 27.70% for the year while the S&P 500 TR Index increased 26.29%. The Growth Fund also outperformed its peer group as measured by the Morningstar Core Index, which was up 22.13%.

The S&P 500's returns were dominated by just a handful of stocks, the so-called "Magnificent 7" that consists of Alphabet (GOOGL), Amazon (AMZN), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Tesla (TSLA). These stocks were buoyed by investors' enthusiasm for AI and increased prospects of lower interest rates as inflation subsides. Thanks to our concerted effort to diversify into technology stocks over the past few years, we benefited from this upswell. The Fund's largest holding – Microsoft – was up more than 58%. Alphabet, another large holding for the Growth Fund, was up 58%. Amazon increased more than 80% and Nvidia was up a stunning 239%. Unsurprisingly, these stocks were the main contributors to the Fund's outperformance.

All of our Materials holdings – Ecolab (ECL), HB Fuller (FUL), and Sherwin Williams (SHW) – also posted strong results in 2023, a stark reversal from the prior year. After oil prices spiked above $100 in 2022 due to the Ukraine-Russia Conflict, oil has since pulled back to the low $70s. Oil and its by-products are major inputs for all of our Materials holdings; as such, lower oil prices have led to a rebound in profits. For example, our largest Materials holding – Ecolab – is expected to increase earnings more than 15% this year after declining 5% last year.

Lower oil prices also hurt Energy stocks, which was a significant boon to relative performance, since the Fund has zero exposure to this sector. Elsewhere, sector selection was a major headwind; notably, the Fund's overweight positions in Healthcare and Industrials hurt relative performance, as these Sector's lagged the market.

The Fund's relative performance was negatively impacted by what we didn't own as well. In particular, not holding Apple for most of the year cost the Fund more than 300bps (basis points) of performance. Apple may be the best-known company in the world and its seemingly ubiquitous iPhone holds a dominant share of the global cell phone market. Apple is even more dominant among Millennials and Gen Zers, which should lead to even greater market share as these cohorts age. This loyal user base should pay huge dividends for shareholders as Apple continues to monetize this ecosystem, especially as the company delves deeper into services, payments, and AI. We initiated a position in Apple during the fourth quarter and await a more attractive entry point to add to our position.

We added two smaller positions to the portfolio in the fourth quarter as well – Piper Sandler (PIPR) and Best Buy (BBY) – both of which are Minnesota-based. Piper Sandler, founded in 1895, is a leading investment bank based right in our backyard in Minneapolis. Piper's management has done an excellent job of expanding its merger and acquisitions (M&A) expertise and growing its share of M&A deals. Due to higher interest rates, the M&A environment has slowed considerably but should re- accelerate as companies adjust to the new interest rate regime. We also initiated a position in Best Buy, a leading electronics retailer with more than 1,000 stores nationwide. We've been impressed with management's ability to navigate a difficult retail landscape, gaining share amongst its offline competitors. The consumer electronics market is suffering from a spending hangover after the Pandemic, but we are starting to see green shoots of a recovery; in the meantime, Best Buy offers a 5% dividend.

Our technology investments have paid off handsomely and we are well positioned to take advantage of the growing interest in artificial intelligence. Outside of the "Magnificent 7," most other stocks experienced muted returns in 2023, especially in mid-caps and so-called old economy industries.

Consequently, we are finding compelling opportunities and are particularly interested in companies that can utilize AI to improve sales and profitability. When JP Morgan was once asked what the market will do, he

famously responded "It will fluctuate." However, as 2024 unfolds, we will remain true to our valuation discipline as well as our long-term focus and take advantage of any short-term fluctuations that may occur.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  December 31, 2023

The Mairs & Power Balanced Fund finished 2023 up 13.39%. The Fund underperformed the benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index), which was up 17.76%, while the Morningstar Moderate Allocation peer group rose 13.51%.

Asset allocation positively impacted performance as the Fund remained overweight equities in a period in which stocks significantly outperformed bonds. Both asset classes delivered positive absolute returns for the year. However, the equity portion of the portfolio underperformed its respective benchmark while the fixed income portion outperformed its respective benchmark.

In 2022, a series of Fed interest rate hikes led equity markets to prefer value stocks as investors favored the visibility of current earnings more than the growth of future earnings. This trend reversed in 2023 as inflation pressures eased and investors anticipated the end of rising interest rates. In addition, a small group of mega cap stocks comprised market leadership aided by investor enthusiasm for the emerging market for artificial intelligence. While the Fund had some exposure to these companies, our more diversified approach and income objective left us generally underrepresented in this narrow leadership group.

The Fund's underweight stance in the Technology sector had a sizeable negative impact on relative performance in 2023. The most significant driver of underperformance in the sector was the absence of two large benchmark weights – Apple (AAPL) and NVIDIA (NVDA) – which performed strongly during the year. Semiconductor manufacturer Texas Instruments (TXN) lagged its peer group because the company is currently making significant investments in next-gen manufacturing capacity which will drive revenue and earnings growth well into the next decade. We think these investments will strengthen their long-term competitive position so we increased our holdings throughout the year. Microsoft (MSFT), the Fund's largest holding, is an established leader in enterprise software and cloud computing with an emerging leadership position in AI which helped propel the stock to new all-time highs. Salesforce (CRM) performed well due to strong demand for its enterprise software and AI offerings as well as a significant improvement in profitability. Entegris (ENTG) benefited from an improving outlook for semiconductor capital expenditures, which should drive higher demand for their advanced materials and filtration products. We trimmed our positions in Microsoft and Salesforce during the year as strong share price performance caused the risk / reward profiles to become more balanced.

The Fund has long maintained a significant representation in the Healthcare sector due to the high concentration of medical companies in our region which have the durable competitive advantage qualities we seek. While our overweight stance in this lagging sector weighed on relative performance, our security selection within the sector was positive. Drug manufacturer Eli Lilly (LLY) was one of our largest holdings and performed very well due to enthusiasm for its Type 2 diabetes drug Tirzepatide which recently received FDA approval for use in the treatment of obesity. While we still have a favorable view of the company's long-term opportunities, we trimmed the position as the stock's risk / reward profile became more balanced. Bio-Techne (TECH) underperformed during the year after scaling back its intermediate-term growth targets. We think the company has made smart investments in their product portfolio and will benefit from the use of AI in its research process. As such, we used the recent share price weakness to add to our position.

The Consumer Staples sector lagged the broader market as investors anticipating the end of interest rate hikes sought cyclical exposure over stability. In addition, the group was unfavorably impacted by uncertainty related to the expected growth of obesity drugs and the resultant effect on future food demand. Hormel (HRL) underperformed after reducing growth targets and announcing a restructuring effort focused on portfolio optimization. Hershey (HSY) lagged as price elasticities have unfavorably impacted sales volumes while sugar and cocoa inputs have recently experienced price increases. We feel that the recent pressures facing these two companies will ease over time so have used recent price weakness to add to our positions.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited) (continued)

After a difficult first half driven by banking turmoil in the spring, relative performance in the Financials sector finished positively due to stabilization of deposit flows and a resilient economic backdrop. Fiserv (FI) continues to deliver consistent double-digit earnings growth driven by growth in its payment processing business as its Clover platform makes further inroads with merchant customers. Visa (V) and American Express (AXP) benefited from continued strength in consumer spending patterns across their credit card networks. Northern Trust (NTRS) – which boasts a best-in-class trust and wealth management business – has struggled this year as deposit outflows in the face of higher interest rates pressured net interest income. The stock regained some of this lost ground during the second half and we believe this leading franchise will produce better returns going forward.

Although our exposure to the Materials segment is small with only three holdings, it helped produce positive relative returns during the year after a difficult 2022. Ecolab (ECL) and Sherwin-Williams (SHW) both rebounded sharply as raw material pressures eased and pricing actions combined with operational efficiency led to strong profit margin expansion. We took the opportunity to trim our position in Sherwin-Williams after its positive recent share price performance.

Lastly, relative performance in the equity portfolio benefited from the absence of holdings in the Energy sector which was among the worst performing sectors in the market last year. We continue to believe that long term sector fundamentals will struggle in the face of an increasing supply of alternative energy sources as well as declining demand as consumers and businesses continue to shift away from the internal combustion engine.

On the fixed income side, it was an interestingly volatile year. Interest rates rose on the 10-year bond from 3.88% to start the year to nearly 5% during the fourth quarter. With economic data suggesting declining inflation and a potential end of the Fed's interest rate hikes, the 10-year rate precipitously fell back below 4% to end the year almost exactly where it started. The Fund's fixed income portfolio outperformed its respective benchmark in 2023, achieving a high single digit total return. Readers might recall that 2022 was quite possibly the worst year in modern fixed income history with returns falling into negative double digits, so 2023 was a welcome reprieve in the end. The Fund is overweight to corporate bonds and typically has a shorter duration to maturity than the benchmark. The majority of the outperformance this year was driven by corporate spread tightening and credit selection. We continue to execute on our strategy in fixed income, whereby we seek pockets of value and selectively research and buy bonds to help us achieve long-term outperformance.

The volatility in interest rates and the shifting interest rate outlook has impacted where we see value going forward. We continuously assess conditions to determine how the rate outlook could impact each company from both an earnings and valuation perspective. We continue to prefer companies with durable competitive advantages, attractive long-term growth prospects and reasonable valuations as this generally leads to favorable investment returns over time. With current rates portending better fixed income returns, we continue to increase the fixed income weighting in the portfolio while keeping duration and credit quality in check. The Fund's equity style was not aligned with market leadership last year as our preference for income generating stocks at reasonable valuations led us to be underrepresented in the mega cap leadership group. However, we believe our consistent approach to both stock and bond selection will deliver sustainable investment performance over the long term.

Largest relative contributors and detractors are securities that were selected based on their contribution to the portfolio as of December 31, 2023. The performance number shown is total return of the security for the period and includes only securities held for the entire period. Total return is the amount of value an investor earns from a security over a specific period and when distributions are reinvested. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond or other debt instrument to a change in interest rates.

All holdings in the portfolio are subject to change without notice and may or may not represent current or future portfolio composition. The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.

All investments have risks. The Balanced Fund is designed for long-term investors. The Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices and greater fluctuations in price than U.S. corporations. The Balanced Fund is subject to yield and share price variances with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short-term. There is also a chance that some of the Balanced Fund's holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  December 31, 2023

During 2023, the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund gained 11.04%, while its S&P Small Cap 600 TR benchmark was up 16.05%, and the Morningstar U.S. Fund Small Blend was up by 16.03%.

Relative performance ebbed and flowed throughout the year, with increased volatility in several sectors. Financials were buffeted by sharply higher interest rates earlier in the year, recovering some of this performance later in the year. Industrials were impacted by supply chain dynamics and inventory destocking, while the Healthcare sector volatility was up on both a sharp decline in the funding environment for new products, and the perceived threats from weight loss drugs. Lastly, Consumer Discretionary stocks surged, aided by the tailwinds of easing inflation, and declines in both interest rates and energy costs.

Year-to-date relative underperformance versus the benchmark was driven primarily by strength in the Consumer Discretionary sector where the Fund has a significant underweight position. As is typically the case when interest rates and energy costs are easing, consumer sectors perform well, but often with leadership changes from one point in the cycle to another. Given our quest to identify durable competitive advantages in the companies in which we invest, and our through-cycle investing philosophy, we find these advantages and leadership to be more durable in the Industrials, Technology, Healthcare and Financials sectors, where the Fund is overweight. In addition to Consumer Discretionary sector underperformance, the Fund underperformed in Technology, Financials, and Utilities sectors, while the absence of Energy stocks in the Fund was a modest positive. Relative weakness in these sectors was partially offset by outperformance in the Industrials, Healthcare, and Real Estate sectors.

The Financials sector overall showed strength during the fourth quarter and was only bested by Consumer Discretionary names. The deposit funding pressures earlier in the year were driven by rising interest rates paid by banks, which pressured margins has eased somewhat, with the recent decline in treasury rates. While being mindful of these pressures which we believe to be temporary, as well as the potential for credit pressures down the road, we believe the six banks owned in the Fund have a track record for weathering these types of cycles and view the valuations of the stocks as attractive, even after the recent strength. As is a hallmark of our process, this conviction resulted in adding to several positions in the Financials sector during the selloff earlier in the year at favorable valuations.

Industrials companies have benefited from price taking and recent easing of inflation as supply chains have loosened up, while ebbing backlogs and moderating demand have created a broad inventory destocking cycle and dampened the pace of new orders. We believe most of the price taking will hold in the coming years, importantly as inventory normalizes and new order demand rebounds. Industrial companies broadly are likely to benefit from significant multi-year state and federal government infrastructure projects which will likely playout in the coming decade. Our conviction in our Industrials holdings stems from our research and fieldwork, including many company visits, and which suggests strong market share gains, growth, and margin improvements in the coming years.

Healthcare stocks overall outperformed the index, despite several factors contributing to volatility within the sector. First, financial conditions, specifically higher interest rates, have curtailed new venture capital funding in healthcare and life sciences, which has impacted the pace of development for new drugs and medical devices, and in turn effecting the order rates for certain products related to research. Second, China – a significant end market for these same research-oriented products – has also tapped the brakes on research spending, in an effort to mend other areas of their economy. Third, recent significant excitement around repurposing diabetes drugs to treat obesity and other diseases has fueled fear of disruption in nearly every area of healthcare and life sciences which have been focused on the symptoms of obesity. This volatility may continue as the safety and efficacy of these treatments is studied, as well as the reimbursement policies.

Technology stocks broadly performed well during 2023, although returns varied widely. Exposure to data analysis, and specifically artificial intelligence (AI) was rewarded in semiconductors and software, while inventory destocking in end markets like PCs, cell phones, and communications equipment drove disappointing fundamentals, and stock underperformance. We see the advent of AI as being a secular tailwind

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited) (continued)

for the economy, as well as for the enabling "arms dealers" which we discussed in our previous commentaries. We believe the near-term headwinds driven by inventory destocking are temporary and have seen these patterns sharply reverse in prior cycles, which supports our positive long-term view on the names in the portfolio that have been affected by this cycle and view relative valuations as favorable.

Looking at individual stocks, year-to-date relative underperformance was driven in part by several stocks, including Clearfield (CLFD), a Minnesota-based supplier of fiber optic access and management products used in broadband infrastructure installations that is working through a buildup in inventory, and some new uncertainty pertaining to the timing of a multi-year Federal broadband stimulus spending initiative. Gentherm (THRM), a Michigan-based provider of thermal management technologies for heating and cooling, and temperature control devices for various industries, has faced some slowing order patterns pertaining to automotive production rates and EV mix. Inspire (INSP), a medical technology device company based in Minnesota that offers minimally invasive implants to address obstructive sleep apnea which has experienced volatility related to fears of substitution risk from GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Texas- based Cullen/Frost (CFR), also contributed to underperformance during the period, driven by margin pressures due to rising deposit costs. Lastly, Jamf (JAMF), a Minnesota-based provider of enterprise software for managing and securing Apple devices, has seen end market growth slow post pandemic.

Relative outperformance in the period came from The AZEK Company (AZEK) in Industrials, a provider of synthetic building products to the residential and commercial construction industries. The company is aided by the ongoing secular shift to synthetic deck, railing, and exteriors from wood, and is navigating the post-COVID inventory destocking quite well.

Altair Engineering (ALTR), a provider of software for simulation, high performance computing, and data analytics has performed well, in part due to their proximity to generative design, and the related halo effect from AI, and has shown growth, share gains, and margin expansion. nVent (NVT) in Industrials, is a manufacturer of electrical enclosures, fasteners, and thermal management products benefiting from high demand in data center markets. AAR Corp. (AIR), a supplier of parts and maintenance/repair services to the airline industry, is benefiting from a rebound in air miles traveled, and driving margins higher for the company.

During the fourth quarter, we sold out of our position in Sleep Number (SNBR), due to execution issues, high leverage, and a lack of confidence in management. We also sold our position in Digi International (DGII) based on lower conviction in the pace of organic growth and product mix, the trajectory of margins, and the cadence of acquisitions contributing to rising debt levels and interest expense, which has been excluded from the company's non-GAAP reporting which we view as unconventional.

We added several new positions to the Fund during 2023, including Piper Sandler (PIPR) which as discussed in a previous letter is a leading mid-market investment bank based in Minneapolis, MN. Piper has a strong franchise in investment banking, with particular strength in mergers and acquisition advisory services in which it is gaining market share, and now makes up over half of the company's revenue. The company's diversity of end markets drives through-cycle profitability, unlike some peers or previous eras in investment banking. Piper Sandler has a seasoned leadership team, strong franchises, and an attractive stock valuation, as well as being a counterbalance to other bank holdings which are far more interest rate sensitive.

We also added Knife River (KNF), a provider of aggregates-based construction materials and contracting services based in Bismark, ND. Knife River is benefiting from the physical proximity of operations to construction activity, making the company both more competitive and more profitable. Knife River's CEO is a company veteran with a track record of success in driving revenue and margins in the Pacific Northwest region, which will serve as a template for the company in other regions. We view Knife River as ideally positioned to address the multiple significant state and federal infrastructure stimulus programs which span many years, and view Knife River's stock valuation as favorable.

Our conversations with large and small companies continue to suggest the supply shocks of 2022 continue to ease, with prices and inventory levels normalizing, which is helping the inflation statistics monitored by the Federal Reserve. The stubborn exception to this trend is the demand and cost of labor, which remains elevated.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited) (continued)

As these conditions normalize, businesses have more confidence in their long-term planning, which would be welcome after a long spell of low visibility. As long-term investors, and leveraging our experience through many prior cycles, we believe these challenges are temporary, and view the related market volatility as an opportunity to invest in great companies trading at significantly lower valuations.

Currently, small cap companies are trading at a discount, which is often the case during this stage of an economic cycle when excess inventories are being reduced and inflation pressures begin to wane, which impacts pricing power. We have seen this happen before, and we believe our long-term approach is well-suited for the current conditions where many high-quality companies' shares are trading at a discount.

MAIRS & POWER MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL BOND ETF (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  December 31, 2023

The Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF (the "Fund") delivered a total return of 5.26% (NAV) and 5.41% (Market Price) during 2023. During the same period, the Bloomberg Minnesota Municipal Total Return (TR) Index, the Fund's benchmark, rose 5.08%.

Overall issuance of municipal bonds was roughly flat in 2023, while Minnesota issuance grew 15% year over year. The lower supply of municipal bonds nationally was mainly matched by slower demand as bank demand for municipals has decreased dramatically while mutual fund and ETF flows have not been strong enough to offset these effects. Separate accounts (individuals are the largest holder of municipal bonds) continue to be a steady source of demand. Like the rest of the fixed income markets, the municipal market had an interesting year with heightened interest rate volatility. The third quarter spike in interest rates left municipal yields at levels not seen for well over a decade, but the decline in overall interest rates later in the fourth quarter led to the 10-year AAA muni rate ending the year over 150bps lower than the peak just a few months before. While municipal rates would generally be expected to move about 2/3 as much as treasuries historically, recent movements have been closer to lockstep with treasuries which likely reflects the dampened demand.

The Fund started the year only 0.4 years long to the index, but the average coupon lower than the index due to the historical nature of when most bonds were purchased in 2021. With the third quarter increase in interest rates, the lower coupon position of the portfolio hurt meaningfully for pricing, even when duration was short of the index. However, this reversed in the fourth quarter as the Fund's positioning benefited relative performance. Quality, where the Fund has a higher weighting in high quality bonds than peers, has had limited effect as low quality bonds have not seen a falloff in demand. We will continue to be highly selective in the lower than A-rated space, where we only have five exposures currently. The exposure to this space will not likely exceed 15%, while the vast majority of the Fund will continue to focus on high quality.

Notably, we focused on and will continue to focus on unlimited tax general obligation bonds, which comprise about half of the portfolio given the solid credit structure of these securities. The second largest sector, leases, is a mix of essential purpose lease projects, including school additions, special education centers, and a county courthouse, among others. We are careful in credit selection and anticipate our preference for essential projects will continue to prevail as we will not sacrifice quality for the sake of additional yield. A major issuer, Fairview Health Services, was downgraded to the high BBB bucket during the first half of the year, and while the Fund has exposure, it is limited to only 1.4% of the portfolio as of December 31, 2023.

We are increasingly convinced that credit quality is going to matter more for municipal credits over the next decade than it did over the previous decade due to a shift in potential issues facing municipal credits.

Credit still starts at the state level for most Minnesota credits, at least for any that are political subdivisions of the state. Minnesota last year outperformed the country's GDP growth, while it had been lagging the country in the few years prior. The state's economy is still looking good as unemployment at 3.1% is below the national level of 3.7% and the number of employed people has now topped pre-recession levels, and the state is adding a healthy level of jobs. Business applications continued strong in 2023, exceeding levels in any years from the 2008-2009 financial crisis to 2021. Looking at business formations since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, four of the top 10 months for applications have happened in 2023. This portends economic growth. In our opinion, Minnesota's future economy looks bright.

From a financial picture, the state is in reasonably good shape although the spending outlook makes its continued strength less certain if there is a recession. From a credit perspective, the state had an opportunity to set itself up for the future by setting more money aside in a rainy-day fund but the legislature opted to spend more than one would have hoped with a 2024-25 budget increase that is 40% higher than the current biennium, setting a new record increase. There are many investments across the state that will relieve the burden on municipalities, included in the budget classified as one-time spending, which will ultimately improve the underlying financial outlook for cities, school districts, counties, etc.

MAIRS & POWER MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL BOND ETF (unaudited) (continued)

One trend we think will continue to impact municipal credits is the lack of available employees and the potential for wage inflation. Inflation effects eat away at public and nonprofit employees' real purchasing power, much like in the private sector, so it seems probable wage growth will need to accelerate, where we have seen evidence of some high-profile wage settlements with teachers, for instance. Each municipality and nonprofit have varying degrees of revenue flexibility, so this will have a disparate impact across portfolios. Hospital systems have been particularly affected, and multiple stories across the state tell of the issues finding staffing for core municipal services such as police and fire emergency services. This requires a keener attention to credit quality than the previous environment.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

Bloomberg Minnesota Municipal (TR) Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of Minnesota investment-grade bonds with maturities of one year or more. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

The coupon rate is the rate of interest paid by bond issuers on the bond's face value.

Investing in the Fund is subject to investment risks, including, but not limited to, possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Shares of any ETF are bought and sold at market price (not NAV), may trade at a discount or premium to NAV and are not individually redeemed from the funds. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than diversified funds.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Because the Fund invests substantially in Minnesota municipal instruments, it is more exposed to the impact of negative political, economic and legislative factors within Minnesota than a fund that invests more widely. Because the Fund is "non-diversified," it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. The Fund is also subject to risks associated with investments in the municipal bond market, municipal mortgage-backed securities, and other investment companies. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors have a limited track record on which to base their investment decision. There is also a risk that the Fund will not grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case it could ultimately liquidate without shareholder approval.

Mairs & Power uses the lower of the S&P or Moody's ratings and chooses to display credit ratings using S&P's convention, although the rating itself might be sourced from another Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Agency. The ratings apply to the credit worthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund itself. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from 'AAA', which is the highest grade, to 'D', which is the lowest grade. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the rating agency will classify the security as unrated.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)  December 31, 2023

Note 1 – Organization

Trust for Professional Managers (the "Trust") was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end, management investment company. The Mairs & Power Funds (the "Funds") are comprised of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the "Growth Fund"), Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the "Balanced Fund"), Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the "Small Cap Fund") (collectively, the "Mutual Funds") and the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF (the "Minnesota ETF"), each representing a distinct series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust.

The investment objective of the Growth Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which have the potential for above-average, long- term appreciation. The investment objective of the Balanced Fund is to provide capital growth, current income and preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average, long-term appreciation.

Pursuant to three tax-free reorganizations that took place after the close of business on April 29, 2022 (each such transaction, a "Reorganization," and collectively, the "Reorganizations"), the Growth Fund, the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund are the successors to the Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Growth Fund"), the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the "Predecessor Balanced Fund") and the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the "Predecessor Small Cap Fund," and together with the Predecessor Growth Fund and the Predecessor Balanced Fund, the "Predecessor Funds"), respectively, each a series of Mairs & Power Funds Trust. Each Predecessor Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor of its Reorganization for financial reporting purposes and as a result, the financial statements of each Mutual Fund reflect the operations of the corresponding Predecessor Fund for the period prior to April 29, 2022.

The Predecessor Growth Fund commenced operations on November 7, 1958. The Predecessor Balanced Fund commenced operations on January 10, 1961. The Predecessor Small Cap Fund commenced operations on August 11, 2011.

The Minnesota ETF is an actively-managed exchange-traded fund. The investment objective of the Minnesota ETF is to seek current income that is exempt from federal and Minnesota state income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. The Minnesota ETF commenced operations on March 11, 2021.

Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization and the initial public offering of shares were paid by Mairs & Power, Inc. (the "Adviser"), the Funds' investment adviser. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at par value of $0.001 for the Funds. The assets of the Funds are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the fund in which shares are held.

The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies".

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

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

Investment Valuation

Each equity security owned by a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange, except for securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("NASDAQ"), is valued at its last sale price on the exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded. Fund securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last


46


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  December 31, 2023

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Investment Valuation (continued)

sale price on the day of valuation. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at (i) the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices at the close of the exchange on such day or (ii) the latest sales price on the Composite Market for the day such security is being valued. "Composite Market" means a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the- counter markets as published by an approved independent pricing service (a "Pricing Service").

Debt securities, such as U.S. government securities, corporate securities, municipal securities and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by a Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and the asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. If a price is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation obtained from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the mean between the bid and the offer. In the absence of available quotations, the securities will be priced at fair value. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized over the expected life of the respective security using the constant yield to maturity method. Pricing Services generally value debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but such securities may be held or transactions may be conducted in such securities in smaller, odd lot sizes. Odd lots often trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

Demand notes and repurchase agreements are valued at cost. If cost does not represent current market value the securities will be priced at fair value.

Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies are valued at the net asset values ("NAVs") of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. If, on a particular day, a share of an investment company is not listed on NASDAQ, such security's fair value will be determined.

When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser's fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board"). These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security's last sale price may not reflect its actual fair market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that each Fund is accurately priced.

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

•  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

•  Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•  Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

*  All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks and preferred stocks) and short-term investments.

**  All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities.

For detail of securities by major sector classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments during the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Funds did not hold any financial derivative instruments during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Federal Income Taxes

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

The Funds' federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. As of and during the period ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Distributions to Shareholders

In general, the Growth Fund will distribute any net investment income semiannually. The Balanced Fund will distribute any net investment income quarterly. The Small Cap Fund will distribute any net investment income at least annually. The Minnesota ETF will distribute any net investment income monthly. The Funds will distribute any net realized long- or short-term capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.

Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. Income and capital gain distributions may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses by the Funds. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted.

The Minnesota ETF intends to make distributions that are exempt from federal and Minnesota state income tax, in the form of exempt-interest dividends. However, some of the Minnesota ETF's distributions other than exempt-interest dividends may be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains (or a combination). The Minnesota ETF may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is not exempt from federal income tax or Minnesota state income tax. Income exempt from federal income tax may be subject to state and local income tax. The federal income tax status of all distributions made by the Minnesota ETF for the preceding year will be reported annually to shareholders.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  December 31, 2023

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Transactions

The NAV per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) divided by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds' shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is closed for trading.

Expenses

Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common expenses are typically allocated evenly between the series of the Trust, or by other equitable means.

Other

Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions on the identified cost basis by comparing the cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Any discount or premium on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. Dividend income, less foreign withholding tax, is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest, net of any reclaims, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

To the extent the Minnesota ETF realizes future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be first offset by any unused capital loss carryovers from the period ended November 30, 2023.

Any amounts waived or reimbursed by the Adviser pursuant to the investment advisory agreement may not be recouped.

The Adviser has also agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Growth Fund, Balanced Fund or Small Cap Fund for a period of two years following the closing of the Reorganizations, to the extent that Covered Expenses (defined below) accrued for the twelve months ending on the first anniversary of the closing of the Reorganizations and the twelve months ending on the second anniversary of the Reorganizations exceed $137,000, $72,000 and $62,500, respectively.

Note 8 – Creation and Redemption Transactions

Shares of the Minnesota ETF are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange"). The Minnesota ETF issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called "Creation Units." A Creation Unit generally consists of 10,000 shares though this may change from time to time. Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of the Minnesota ETF will be equal to a Fund's total assets minus a Fund's total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places.

Only "Authorized Participants" may purchase or redeem shares directly from the Minnesota ETF. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Minnesota ETF. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption.

Creation Unit Transaction Fee

Authorized Participants will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the "Creation Transaction Fee") in connection with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee for the Minnesota ETF is $300.

An additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for cash purchases, non-standard orders, or partial purchase of Creation Units. For orders comprised entirely of cash, a variable fee of 0.03% of the value of the order will be charged by the Minnesota ETF. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes)


53


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  December 31, 2023

Note 8 – Creation and Redemption Transactions (continued)

Creation Unit Transaction Fee (continued)

involved with buying the securities with cash. The Minnesota ETF may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of Fund shareholders.

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

Note 9 – Investment Transactions

Note 10 – Principal Risks of the Funds

As with all investment companies, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. Each Fund is subject to its principal risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund's NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective as applicable. A description of the principal risks of each Fund is included in the applicable prospectus under the heading "Principal Risks''.

Note 11 – ReFlow Transactions

The Mutual Funds may participate in the ReFlow Fund, LLC ("ReFlow") liquidity program, which is designed to provide an alternative liquidity source for mutual funds experiencing net redemptions of their shares. Pursuant to the program, ReFlow provides participating mutual funds (including each Mutual Fund) with a source of cash to meet net shareholder redemptions by standing ready each business day to purchase Fund shares up to the value of the net shares redeemed by other shareholders that are to settle the next business day. Following purchases of a Fund's shares, ReFlow then generally redeems those shares when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period determined by ReFlow (currently 8 days) or at other times at ReFlow's or the Adviser's discretion. While ReFlow holds a Fund's shares, it will have the same rights and privileges with respect to those shares as any other shareholder. For use of the ReFlow service, a Fund pays a fee to ReFlow each time it purchases Fund shares, calculated by applying to the purchase amount a fee rate determined through an automated daily auction among participating mutual funds. The current minimum fee rate is 0.14% of the value of the Fund shares purchased by ReFlow, although a Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of Fund shareholders. ReFlow's purchases of a Fund's shares through the liquidity program are made on an investment-blind basis without regard to a Fund's objective, policies or anticipated performance. In accordance with federal securities laws, ReFlow is prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. ReFlow will


54


NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  December 31, 2023

Note 11 – ReFlow Transactions (continued)

not be subject to the Funds' investment minimums, the Small Cap Fund's redemption fee, or the limitations noted in the "Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares" section within the Funds' prospectus. ReFlow will periodically redeem its entire share position in a Fund and request that such redemption be met in-kind in accordance with the Funds' redemption in-kind policies. The Board has approved the Funds' use of the ReFlow program. The Adviser believes that the program may assist in stabilizing each Fund's net assets, to the benefit of the Fund and its shareholders, although there is no guarantee that the program will do so. To the extent that the Funds' assets do not decline, the Adviser may also benefit. ReFlow fees that were incurred by the Funds during the year ended December 31, 2023 are recorded within the Statement of Operations, if applicable.

During the year ended December 31, 2023 the Mutual Funds satisfied redemption in-kind requests made by Reflow. The transfers were effected in accordance with policies and procedures approved by the Board. Consideration paid and shares sold were as follows:

Note 12 – Recent Market Events

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

Note 13 – Beneficial Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At December 31, 2023, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc., for the benefit of its customers, held 25.77% and 37.03% of the outstanding shares of the Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund, respectively.

The financial highlights of the Mairs & Power Funds Trust (comprising Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Mairs & Power Balanced Fund and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund), predecessor funds to the Mutual Funds, for the years ended December 31, 2021, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 18, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by

correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds' auditor since 2021.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Mutual Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees for shareholders of the Small Cap Fund, and (2) ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Mutual Funds are "no-load" mutual funds. As a result, shareholders pay no commissions, fees, or expenses associated with sales representatives or sales charges. As a shareholder of the Minnesota ETF, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Fund's shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Fund.

This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The table below reports the Funds' expenses during the period July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 and includes the costs associated with a $1,000 investment.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the tables below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information in this line, together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses you paid over the reporting period. You can do this by dividing your account value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the expense shown in the table below. For example, if your account value is $8,600, divided by $1,000 = $8.60. Multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period." By doing this you can estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example

The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expenses and assumed returns of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The results may be used to provide you with a basis for comparing the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that these hypothetical examples highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional fees. In addition, if these transactional fees were included, your costs would have been higher. These hypothetical expense examples may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

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

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

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

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

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the amount of time devoted to the Funds' operation by the Adviser's staff. The Trustees considered the Adviser's specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Funds, including the investment strategies implemented by the Adviser, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Brent S. Miller, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF, Robert W. Thompson, Co-Manager of the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF and the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund, Andrew R. Adams, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund and Co-Manager of the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund, Peter J. Johnson Co-Manager of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Kevin V. Earley, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund, Christopher D. Strom, Co-Manager of the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund, and Michael C. Marzolf, Lead Portfolio Manager of the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund, and other key personnel at the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Trustees reviewed information provided by the Adviser in a due diligence questionnaire, including the structure of the Adviser's compliance program and its continuing commitment to the Funds. The Trustees noted that during the course of the prior year the Adviser had participated in a Trust board meeting to discuss the Funds' performance and outlook, along with the compliance efforts made by the Adviser, including reports provided by the Adviser in its role as the Funds' valuation designee. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the brokerage practices of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed the Adviser's handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust's chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of the Adviser's compliance program. The Trustees also considered the Adviser's overall financial condition, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the Adviser's business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under each applicable Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as the Adviser's compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.

2.  INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND THE ADVISER

The Trustees discussed the performance of the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF (net asset value price returns), Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Mairs & Power Balanced Fund and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund for the quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, as applicable. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by the Adviser, the Trustees also compared the short-term and longer-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to each Fund's primary benchmark index (the Bloomberg Minnesota Municipal Total Return Index for the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF, the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, a blended index (the "Blended Index") comprised of an unmanaged portfolio of 60% of the S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% of the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index for the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund, and the S&P SmallCap 600 Total Return Index for the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund) and in comparison to a peer group of funds as constructed using publicly-available data provided by Morningstar, Inc. and presented by Barrington Financial Group, LLC d/b/a Barrington Partners, an independent third-party benchmarking firm, through its cohort selection process (a peer group of U.S. open-end municipal national intermediate bond, municipal national long-term bond and municipal national short-term bond exchange-traded funds for the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF, a peer group of U.S. open-end large-cap blend and large-cap growth funds for the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, a peer group of U.S. open-end moderate allocation funds for the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund, and a peer group of U.S. open-end small-cap blend funds for the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund) (each, a "Barrington Cohort"). The Trustees also reviewed information on the historical performance of other separately-managed accounts of the Adviser that were similar to each Fund in terms of investment strategies.

The Trustees noted the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF's performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2023 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF performed in-line with the Bloomberg Minnesota Municipal Total Return Index. The Trustees noted that for the one-year period ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF had underperformed the Bloomberg Minnesota Municipal Total Return Index. The Trustees further noted that the Adviser deemed any differences between the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF's performance and the performance of the comparable separately-managed account composite to be immaterial for all periods reviewed.

The Trustees noted the Mairs & Power Growth Fund's performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023 were below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the quarter, one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Growth Fund had underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index, but the Fund had outperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the since inception period ended March 31, 2023. The Trustees further noted that the Adviser deemed any differences between the Mairs & Power Growth Fund's performance and the performance of the comparable separately-managed account composite to be immaterial for all periods reviewed.

The Trustees noted the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund's performance for the one-year, three-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund's performance for the five-year period ended March 31, 2023 was equal to the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the quarter, one-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund had underperformed the Blended Index. The Trustees noted that for the three-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund had outperformed the Blended Index. The Trustees further noted that the Adviser deemed any differences between the Mairs & Power Balance Fund's performance and the performance of the comparable separately-managed account composite to be immaterial for all periods reviewed.

The Trustees noted the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund's performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees noted that for the one-year, five-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund had outperformed the S&P SmallCap 600 Total Return Index. The Trustees noted that for the quarter,


65


BASIS FOR TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited) (continued)

three-year, and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2023, the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund had underperformed the S&P SmallCap 600 Total Return Index. The Trustees further noted that the Adviser deemed any differences between the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund's performance and the performance of the comparable separately-managed account composite to be immaterial for all periods reviewed.

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

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

The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser's fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to each Fund. The Trustees took into consideration that the management fee for the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF was a "unitary management fee" whereby the Adviser agrees to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund, except the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser and certain excluded expenses. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses and Barrington Cohort comparisons. The Trustees considered the cost structure of each Fund relative to the Barrington Cohort and the separately-managed accounts of the Adviser with the same or similar investment strategies as each Fund.

The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser and reviewed the Adviser's financial information. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under each applicable Advisory Agreement, as well as the Funds' brokerage practices. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees and the Funds' administrator specifically for the June 22, 2023 meeting and the August 17, 2023 meeting at which each applicable Advisory Agreement was formally considered, as well as the reports prepared by the Adviser over the course of the year.

The Trustees noted that the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF's contractual management fee of 0.39% was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.36%. The Trustees observed that the Fund's unitary fee structure limits the Fund's total expense ratio to 0.39% and such expense ratio was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.30%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Fund to the fees paid by other separately-managed accounts of the Adviser with the same or similar investment strategies as the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser had agreed to reduce the Fund's contractual management fee from 0.39% to 0.25% effective as of September 1, 2023.

The Trustees noted that the Mairs & Power Growth Fund's contractual management fee of 0.55% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.69%. The Trustees observed that the Mairs & Power Growth Fund's total expense ratio of 0.61% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.87%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Fund to the fees paid by other separately-managed accounts of the Adviser with the same or similar investment strategies as the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund's contractual management fee of 0.60% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.66%. The Trustees observed that the Balanced Fund's total expense ratio of 0.69% was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.85%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Fund to the fees paid by other separately-managed accounts of the Adviser with the same or similar investment strategies as the Fund.

The Trustees noted that the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund's contractual management fee of 0.80% was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.79%. The Trustees observed that the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund's total expense ratio of 0.95% was equal to the Barrington Cohort average of 0.95%. The Trustees also compared the fees paid by the Fund to the fees paid by other separately-managed accounts of the Adviser with the same or similar investment strategies as the Fund.

The Trustees also noted that, under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Mairs & Power Growth Fund or Mairs & Power Balanced Fund in the event that the total expenses incurred by either Fund in any fiscal year, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary litigation costs, but


66


BASIS FOR TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited) (continued)

including payments to the Adviser, shall exceed 1.50% of the first $30 million dollars and 1.00% of the balance of the average value of the net assets of the applicable Fund during said fiscal year, based upon computations of such value made as of the close of business on the last valuation day of each month during such fiscal year. In addition, the Trustees noted that the Adviser has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Mairs & Power Balanced Fund or Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund for a period of two years following the closing of the reorganization of each Fund into the Trust effective on April 29, 2022, to the extent that covered expenses (i.e., outside legal expenses, audit and tax expenses, trustees' fees, insurance expenses, ICI membership fees, and chief compliance officer fees) accrued for the twelve months ended April 29, 2023 and the twelve months ending on April 29, 2024 exceed $137,000, $72,000 and $62,500, respectively.

The Trustees concluded that each Fund's expenses and the management fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information. The Trustees noted, based on a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, that the Adviser's profits from sponsoring each of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Mairs & Power Balanced Fund and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund were not excessive, and while the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF was not yet profitable to the Adviser, the Adviser maintained adequate profit levels to support the services to each Fund from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business, despite subsidizing the operations of the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF.

4.  EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUNDS GROW

The Trustees compared each Fund's expenses relative to its peer groups and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of each Fund's management fees and whether the Funds were large enough to generate economies of scale for shareholders or whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale were being or would be shared with shareholders). With respect to the Mairs & Power Minnesota Municipal Bond ETF, the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund and the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that each Fund's management fee structure did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund's assets grow in size, but that the feasibility of incorporating breakpoints would be reviewed on a regular basis. With respect to the Mairs & Power Growth Fund, the Trustees reviewed the breakpoint reductions set forth in the Advisory Agreement (0.60% on the first $2.5 billion of net asset value and 0.50% on the net asset value in excess of $2.5 billion). With respect to the Adviser's fee structure, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable and reflected a sharing of economies of scale between the Adviser and each Fund at each Fund's current asset level.

5.  BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS

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

CONCLUSIONS

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