Annual Shareholder Report | August 31, 2025
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Column Small Cap Select Fund (the “Fund”) for the period of September 1, 2024, to  August 31, 2025. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://columnfunds.com/literature. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-866-950-4644.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
In the year ended August 31, 2025, the   Fund gained 3.17%,  underperforming the 8.17% gain of the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the benchmark index we believe best represents the market in which the Fund invests due to its focus on small  U.S. companies. The Fund lagged the 15.88% return of its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, as large companies outperformed small companies.
Relative to the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the Fund’s stock selection detracted overall while contributions from sector allocation offset a portion of the losses. Stock selection within communication services and health care hurt the most, although an underweight to the health care sector helped performance. Behavioral health services provider, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., was the largest individual detractor for the Fund, as the company faced some regulatory and operational  headwinds. The Fund also benefited from an overweight to the well-performing information technology sector. In assessing Fund sub-adviser performance, Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers, LLC’s Small Cap Intrinsic Value strategy was the sole contributor to performance primarily via long-term strategic overweights to the communication services and information technology sectors. The Small Cap Value strategy run by Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (WPG Partners division) was the greatest detractor, mostly owing to weak stock picks within the communication services and information technology sectors.

Relative to the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the Fund’s stock selection detracted overall while contributions from sector allocations offset a portion of the losses. Stock selection within the industrials, information technology, and materials sectors hurt the most, though overweighing those well-performing sectors was additive. Behavioral health services provider, Acadia Healthcare Company, Inc., was the largest individual detractor for the Fund, as the company faced some regulatory and operational  headwinds. The Fund benefited from a modest overweight to the communication services sector’s outstanding performance and a relative underweight to the losing health care sector. In assessing Fund sub-adviser performance, American Century Investment Management Inc.’s Small Cap Growth strategy positively contributed to returns through both sector allocation and their stock selection picks. Conversely,  Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC’s Small Cap Growth strategy trailed other Fund sub-advisers’ returns due to stock selection struggles, primarily in the financials and information technology sectors.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
In the year ended August 31, 2025, the Fund returned 5.10%,  underperforming the 12.58% return of the Russell Midcap Total Return Index, the benchmark index we believe best represents the market in which the Fund invests due to its focus on medium-sized  U.S. companies. The Fund also lagged the 15.88% return of its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, as large companies outperformed medium-sized companies.
Relative to the Russell  Midcap Total Return Index, the Fund’s stock selection was the primary detractor from performance, particularly in the health care and information technology sectors. Sector allocation had a neutral impact, as an overweight to the weakly-performing industrials sector and a modest underweight to the top-performing information technology sector offset gains from overweighting financials and underweighting real estate. Each of the Fund’s sub-advisers underperformed the Russell Midcap Total Return  Index during the fiscal year. In assessing Fund sub-adviser performance,  Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC’s Mid Cap Core strategy and EARNEST Partners, LLC’s Mid Cap Core were the largest detractors primarily due to stock selection struggles in a relatively concentrated portfolio and the omission of speculative AI-names, respectively. Palantir Technologies Inc. was the largest individual detractor on a relative basis as the top contributing company in the Russell Midcap Total Return Index over the trailing year was not held by the Fund.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

 

The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

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

 

  FYE 8/31/2025 FYE 8/31/2024
(a) Audit Fees $68,200 $66,000
(b) Audit-Related Fees $0 $0
(c) Tax Fees $12,000 $12,000
(d) All Other Fees $0 $0

 

(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

 

 

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

 

  FYE  8/31/2025 FYE  8/31/2024
Audit-Related Fees 0% 0%
Tax Fees 0% 0%
All Other Fees 0% 0%

 

(f) All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

 

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

 

Non-Audit Related Fees FYE 8/31/2025 FYE 8/31/2024
Registrant $0 $0
Registrant’s Investment Adviser $0 $0

 

(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

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 Column Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the Column Small Cap Select Fund, the Column Small Cap Fund, the Column Mid Cap Select Fund, and the Column Mid Cap Fund, each representing a distinct, diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of each Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund commenced operations on December 11, 2023. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering were paid by Mason Street Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies”.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(A)
Investment Valuation. Each equity security owned by a Fund, including depositary receipts, that is listed on a national securities exchange, except for portfolio securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”) is valued at its last sale price or official closing price on that exchange on the close of that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. If a security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will use the price on the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the most recent quoted bid at the close of the exchange on such day or the security shall be valued at the latest sales price on the “composite market” for the day such security is being valued. The composite market is defined as 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, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at prices supplied by an approved Pricing Service. Where the price of a long-term debt security is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the bid price. When a Fund buys a when-issued, new issue or delayed delivery debt security and the security is not yet being traded or priced by a Pricing Service, the security will be valued at cost. Thereafter, the security will be valued at its market value or its fair value if the security has not commenced trading or is not priced by a Pricing Service for longer than five days. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity.
Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the net asset values (“NAVs”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. All ETFs are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded.
43

TABLE OF CONTENTS

COLUMN FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2025(Continued)
Foreign securities will be priced in their local currencies. Foreign securities, currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are then translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved Pricing Service or reporting agency. All assets denominated in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Occasionally, events which affect the values of such securities may occur between the times at which the values are determined and the close of the New York Stock Exchange and will therefore not be reflected in the computation of a Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, then these securities will be valued at fair value in good faith as determined by the Adviser in accordance with its fair valuation procedures. Each foreign equity security held by a Fund (other than those traded in countries outside of Canada, Mexico, Central and South America) will be valued at its fair value by using a value determined by an independent pricing agent rather than using the last closing price of such foreign security on its principal overseas market. A value determined by an independent pricing agent will also be used to fair value foreign securities held by a Fund on any day when a foreign market is closed due to a local holiday or other scheduled closure, but the New York Stock Exchange is open.
If market quotations are not readily available, a security or other asset will be 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. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual fair value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that a Fund is accurately priced. The Adviser will regularly evaluate whether a Fund’s fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Fund and the quality of prices obtained through the application of such procedures.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurement” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosures 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).

Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as forward currency contracts. Forward currency contracts are reflected as the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
(B)
Foreign Securities and Currency Translations. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the values of investments in securities from fluctuations in exchange rates are reported within unrealized gain (loss) on investments.
Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of a Fund’s investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of a Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
(C)
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and makes the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it of all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
As of and during the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to
46

unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the year ended August 31, 2025, and the period ended August 31, 2024.
(D)
Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds will distribute any net investment income and any net realized long- or short-term capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. Income and capital gains distributions may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses by the Funds. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between the components of net assets. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
(E)
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.
(F)
Share Valuation. The NAV per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading.
(G)
Expenses. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
(H)
Other. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions using the specific identification method for the best tax relief order by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. 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 have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from a Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital, as applicable. For financial statement purposes, the Funds use estimates to characterize these distributions received as return of capital, capital gains or ordinary income. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received for the security after its tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of a Fund. Changes to estimates will be recorded in the period they are known. The distributions received from REIT securities that have been classified as income and capital gains are included in dividend income and net realized gain on investments, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. The distributions received that are classified as return of capital reduced the cost of investments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(I)
Derivative Instruments. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Funds may enter into forward currency contracts. This strategy is intended to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, although it could also limit any potential gain from an increase in the value of the currency. A forward currency contract is an obligation to

purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts are considered derivatives and the Adviser and sub-advisers intend to limit each Fund’s investments in forward currency contracts in order for each Fund to qualify as a limited derivatives user as defined in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act. As of August 31, 2025, the fair value of derivative instruments in the Funds is described below:

Pursuant to a Management Fee Waiver Agreement, the Adviser has contractually agreed, through at least December 31, 2026, to waive its management fees with respect to each Fund to the extent such management fees exceed the management fees that the Adviser is required to pay to the Fund’s designated sub-adviser(s) for management of allocated portions of the Fund. The Adviser may not recoup these waivers in future periods.
Pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement, the Adviser also provides or procures management of certain of the Funds’ administrative affairs, including review of shareholder reports and other regulatory filings prepared by the Funds’ administrator; oversight of the Funds’ primary service providers; periodic due diligence reviews of the Funds’ primary service providers; coordination and negotiation of contracts and pricing relating to the Funds’ primary service providers; and such other duties or services necessary for the appropriate operation of the Funds that are incidental to the foregoing services. For such administrative services, under the Administrative Services Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser an administrative services fee computed daily and paid monthly, based on an annual rate equal to 0.02% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Trust has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan on behalf of the Funds to pay for shareholder support services from each Fund’s assets pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of a Fund’s average daily net assets. Currently, the annual rate of the shareholder servicing fee being charged for each Fund is 0.06% of the Fund’s average daily net assets; however, the fee may be increased up to 0.10% of a Fund’s average daily net assets, at any time. Each Fund is responsible for paying a portion of shareholder servicing fees to each of the shareholder servicing agents who have written shareholder servicing agreements with a Fund and perform shareholder servicing functions and maintenance of shareholder accounts on behalf of shareholders.

8. 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 the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At August 31, 2025, Pershing LLC, for the benefit of its customers, held 100% of each Fund’s shares outstanding. Pershing LLC is the financial intermediary used by Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company’s advisory programs that offer the Funds’ shares.
9. LINE OF CREDIT
The Funds and U.S. Bank, N.A. entered into an umbrella line of credit agreement in the amount of up to $100,000,000, which matures on August 1, 2026. This unsecured line of credit agreement is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions from the Funds. The maximum borrowing cannot exceed 20% of the total market value or 33.33% of the net market value of a Fund’s unencumbered assets. Interest on amounts borrowed under the line of credit will be accrued at the prime rate, which as of August 31, 2025, was 7.50%. During the year ended August 31, 2025, the Funds did not utilize the line of credit.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to August 31, 2025, through the date the financial statements were issued and determined there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure in the financial statements.

11. 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 changes, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions and tariffs, political events, and geopolitical conflicts. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the wars in Europe and the Middle East, markets have experienced increased volatility. 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 the performance of the Funds.
12. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Funds. Each Fund operates as a single segment entity. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by Paul Mikelson, President, and Brent Schutte, Chief Investment Officer, each of Mason Street Advisors, the Funds’ investment adviser, who each serve as the chief operating decision makers, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The ASU allows for early adoption and amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU but does not expect this guidance to materially impact the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 2023.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Column Funds)
The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 27, 2025 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Column Small Cap Select Fund, Column Small Cap Fund, Column Mid Cap Select Fund, and Column Mid Cap Fund (each, a “Column Fund,” and together, the “Column Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and Mason Street Advisors, LLC, the Column Funds’ investment adviser (identified hereinafter as the “Adviser”). The Trustees also met at a prior meeting held on June 18, 2025 (the “June 18, 2025 meeting”) to review materials related to the renewal of the Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Agreement, detailed comparative information relating to the Funds’ performance, as well as the management fees and other expenses of the Funds, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire completed on behalf of the Funds by the Adviser, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select financial statements of the Adviser, biographical information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, comparative fee information for the Funds and a summary detailing key provisions of the Adviser’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Agreement renewal process, including performance, management fee and other expense information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Funds’ other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the continuation of the Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026.
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’ operations by the Adviser’s staff. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of each of the Funds, including its recommendations with respect to the hiring, termination or replacement of one or more sub-advisers to the Funds and its oversight of investment strategies implemented by any such sub-advisers. The Trustees also considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of 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. 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 overall capability of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed the Adviser’s handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust’s chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of the Adviser’s compliance program and oversight of the compliance program of each Fund’s sub-advisers, as applicable. The Trustees also considered the Adviser’s overall financial condition, and support from its parent entity, The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the Adviser’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and managing each Fund under the “manager of managers” structure and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.
2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUNDS AND THE ADVISER
The Trustees discussed the performance of the Column Mid Cap Fund, Column Mid Cap Select Fund, Column Small Cap Fund and Column Small Cap Select Fund for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by the Adviser, the Trustees also compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the Funds on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Index for the Column Small Cap Fund and the Column Small Cap Select Fund and the Russell Midcap Index for the Column Mid Cap Fund and the Column Mid Cap Select 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 mid-cap blend funds for the Column Mid Cap Fund and the Column Mid Cap Select Fund and a peer group of U.S. open-end small-cap blend funds for the Column Small Cap Fund and the Column Small Cap Select Fund) (each, a “Barrington Cohort”). The Trustees noted that the Adviser did not manage any other accounts with the same or similar investment strategies as any of the Funds.
The Trustees noted the Column Mid Cap Fund’s performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2025 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees further noted that for each of the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, the Column Mid Cap Fund had underperformed the Russell Midcap Index.
The Trustees noted the Column Mid Cap Select Fund’s performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2025 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees further noted that for each of the one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, the Column Mid Cap Select Fund had underperformed the Russell Midcap Index. The Trustees noted that for the quarter period ended March 31, 2025, the Column Mid Cap Select Fund had outperformed the Russell Midcap Index.
The Trustees noted the Column Small Cap Fund’s performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2025 was in-line but slightly below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees further noted that for each of the one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, the Column Small Cap Fund had underperformed the Russell 2000 Index. The Trustees noted that for the quarter ended
March 31, 2025, the Column Small Cap Fund had outperformed the Russell 2000 Index.
The Trustees noted the Column Small Cap Select Fund’s performance for the one-year period ended March 31, 2025 was below the Barrington Cohort average. The Trustees further noted that for each of the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, the Column Small Cap Select Fund had underperformed the Russell 2000 Index.
The Trustees noted the Adviser’s position that each Fund’s track record is too short to draw meaningful conclusions about the Adviser’s ability to meet each Fund’s long-term objectives. After considering all of the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by the Adviser for each Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions and that the Adviser has developed the necessary expertise and resources in selecting and managing the sub-advisers to each of the Column Mid Cap Fund, Column Mid Cap Select Fund, Column Small Cap Fund and Column Small Cap Select
57

Fund and providing investment advisory services in accordance with each Fund’s investment objective and strategies. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s continued management.
3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER
The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to the Funds. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses and Barrington Cohort comparisons. In reviewing each of the Column Mid Cap Fund, Column Mid Cap Select Fund, Column Small Cap Fund and Column Small Cap Select Fund fees and total expense structure, the Trustees took into account each Fund’s “manager of managers” structure, noting that the Adviser pays each Fund’s sub-advisory fees out of its own management fees, and that the Funds were not directly responsible for payment of any sub-advisory fees. The Trustees considered the cost structure of each Fund relative to its Barrington Cohort, as well as any management fee waivers of the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to waive its management fees to the extent such management fees exceed the management fees that the Adviser is required to pay to each Fund’s designated sub-advisers for management of allocated portions of each Fund and such waivers are not subject to recoupment by the Adviser.
The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser and reviewed the Adviser’s financial information, noting that the Adviser had waived management fees for each Fund since inception and such waivers were not subject to recoupment by the Adviser. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement, as well as the Funds’ brokerage practices and the Adviser’s oversight of the brokerage and trading practices of each Fund’s designated sub-advisers. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees and the Funds’ administrator specifically for the June 18, 2025 meeting and the August 27, 2025 meeting at which the 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 Column Mid Cap Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.70% (this is a blended fee reflecting the Fund’s management fee breakpoint schedule at current Fund asset levels) was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.65%. The Trustees noted that the Column Mid Cap Fund was operating pursuant to a contractual management fee waiver. The Trustees observed that the Column Mid Cap Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.52% (net of fee waivers) was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.87%.
The Trustees noted that the Column Mid Cap Select Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.68% (this is a blended fee reflecting the Fund’s management fee breakpoint schedule at current Fund asset levels) was slightly above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.67%. The Trustees noted that the Column Mid Cap Select Fund was operating pursuant to a contractual management fee waiver. The Trustees observed that the Column Mid Cap Select Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.54% (net of fee waivers) was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.85%.
The Trustees noted that the Column Small Cap Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.77% (this is a blended fee reflecting the Fund’s management fee breakpoint schedule at current Fund asset levels) was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.62%. The Trustees noted that the Column Small Cap Fund was operating pursuant to a contractual management fee waiver. The Trustees observed that the Column Small Cap Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.66% (net of fee waivers) was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.78%.
The Trustees noted that the Column Small Cap Select Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.76% (this is a blended fee reflecting the Fund’s management fee breakpoint schedule at current Fund asset levels) was above the Barrington Cohort average of 0.72%. The Trustees noted that the Column

Small Cap Select Fund was operating pursuant to a contractual management fee waiver. The Trustees observed that the Column Small Cap Select Fund’s total expense ratio of 0.66% (net of fee waivers) was below the Barrington Cohort average of 0.89%.
The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s expenses and the management fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information and, with respect to each of the Column Mid Cap Fund, Column Mid Cap Select Fund, Column Small Cap Fund and Column Small Cap Select Fund, considering each Fund’s “manager-of-managers” structure. The Trustees further concluded, based on a profitability analysis prepared by the Adviser, that the Funds were not profitable to the Adviser in light of the Adviser’s management fee waiver that reduces each Fund’s management fee to an amount equal to the sub-advisory fees paid to the respective Fund’s underlying sub-advisers, and that the Adviser maintained adequate profit levels to support the services to the Funds from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business.
4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUNDS GROW
The Trustees compared each Fund’s expenses relative to its peer group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of each Fund’s management fee, all management fee waivers, and noted that each Fund’s management fee structure contained breakpoint reductions as each Fund’s assets grow in size. With respect to the Adviser’s fee structure, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable.
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 concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, including fees received by the Adviser under an administrative services agreement for administrative services provided to the Funds, potential improved fee rates charged by sub-advisers to the Funds that are also sub-advisers to other accounts of the Adviser or its affiliates, the Adviser’s relationships with sub-advisers to the Funds and the potential ability to leverage investment professionals of such sub-advisers, and the ability of the Adviser and its affiliates to market other platforms through which the Funds may be available, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Funds.
CONCLUSIONS
The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Funds’ surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026 as being in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.

BASIS FOR TRUSTEES’ APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Column Small Cap Select Fund)
The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 27, 2025 to consider the renewal of the sub-advisory agreements (each, a “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and together, the “Sub-Advisory Agreements”) between Mason Street Advisors, LLC (identified hereinafter as the “Adviser”), on behalf of the Column Small Cap Select Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and each of the Fund’s sub-advisers, Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (WPG Partners Division) (“Boston Partners”), Driehaus Capital Management LLC (“Driehaus”), Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), and Vaughan Nelson Investment Management, L.P. (“Vaughan Nelson”) (each, a “Sub-Adviser,” and together, the “Sub-Advisers”). The Trustees also met at a prior meeting held on June 18, 2025 (the “June 18, 2025 meeting”) to review materials related to the renewal of each Sub-Advisory Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, detailed comparative information relating to the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by each Sub-Adviser, as well as the sub-advisory fees and other expenses of the Fund, due diligence materials relating to each Sub-Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire, Form ADV, select financial statements from each Sub-Adviser, biographical information of key management and compliance personnel, and a summary detailing key provisions of the Sub-Adviser’s written compliance program, including its code of ethics and comparative fee information for the sub-advisory fees and the respective Sub-Adviser’s other separately-managed accounts, as applicable) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement renewal process, including performance and fees and expenses information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Sub-Advisers, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of each Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026.
1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS TO THE FUND
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson to the Fund. The Trustees considered Boston Partners’ responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Eric A. Gandhi, who serves as the portfolio manager for the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Boston Partners, and other key personnel at Boston Partners. The Trustees next considered Driehaus’ responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Jeffrey James, Michael Buck, and Prakash Vijayan, who serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by Driehaus, and other key personnel at Driehaus.

The Trustees also considered information provided by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson at the June 18, 2025 meeting and the August 27, 2025 meeting at which each respective Sub-Advisory Agreement was formally considered, relating to the investment objective and

strategies for the Fund, brokerage practices and compliance and risk management. The Trustees also noted any services provided by each sub-adviser that extended beyond portfolio management. The Trustees also considered the overall financial condition, as well as the implementation and operational effectiveness of the business continuity plan for each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson. The Trustees concluded that each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance programs essential to performing its duties under each respective Sub-Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of investment management services provided by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson to the Fund were satisfactory.
2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE SUB-ADVISERS
The Trustees discussed the Fund’s performance, including the gross of fee performance relating specifically to the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson, respectively.
The Trustees discussed the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Boston Partners for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Boston Partners on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Value Index) and in comparison to a composite with similar investment strategies to that utilized by Boston Partners in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Boston Partners underperformed the benchmark index for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025.
The Trustees discussed the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Driehaus for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Driehaus on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Growth Index) and in comparison to a separate composite of separately-managed accounts of Driehaus with similar investment strategies to that utilized by Driehaus in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted that the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Driehaus underperformed the benchmark index for the quarter and one-year periods ended March 31, 2025, but outperformed the benchmark index for the since inception period ended March 31, 2025.
The Trustees discussed the performance of the segments of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the small cap strategy segment and small cap intrinsic value strategy segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Index and Russell 2000 Value Index, respectively) and in comparison to applicable registered mutual funds with similar investment strategies to that utilized by NBIA in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted that the small cap strategy segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA underperformed the benchmark index for the one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, but outperformed the benchmark index for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Trustees noted that the small cap intrinsic value strategy segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA underperformed the benchmark index for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods.
The Trustees discussed the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Vaughan Nelson for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Vaughan Nelson on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Value Index) and in comparison to a composite with similar investment strategies to that utilized by Vaughan Nelson in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Vaughan Nelson underperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period ended March 31, 2025, but outperformed the benchmark index for the quarter and since inception period ended March 31, 2025.

After considering all the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson for the Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the continued management of Fund assets by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson.
3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS
The Trustees reviewed and considered the cost of services and the sub-advisory fees payable by Mason Street to each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Mason Street had previously confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services performed by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Mason Street, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services provided by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson or the profitability of each relationship with the Fund to be material factors for consideration given that Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson are not affiliated with Mason Street and, therefore, the sub-advisory fees were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees paid to Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson by Mason Street were reasonable in light of the services provided by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson.
4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS
Since the sub-advisory fees payable to each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.
5. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND
The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits that each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson may receive, such as greater name recognition and increased ability to obtain research or broker services or attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.
CONCLUSIONS
The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement with each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement with each of Boston Partners, Driehaus, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026 as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE SUB-ADVISERS
The Trustees discussed the Fund’s performance, including the gross of fee performance relating specifically to the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson, respectively.
The Trustees discussed the performance of the segments of the Fund’s portfolio managed by American Century for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025, noting that American Century manages the Fund in two separate strategies. The Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of each segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by American Century on both an absolute basis and in comparison to an applicable benchmark index (the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index) and in comparison to applicable composites with similar investment strategies to those utilized by American Century in managing its segments of the Fund’s portfolio.

The Trustees discussed the performance of the segments of the Fund’s portfolio managed by NBIA for the quarter, one-year and since inception periods ended March 31, 2025.

Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the continued management of Fund assets by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson.
3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE SUB-ADVISERS
The Trustees reviewed and considered the cost of services and the sub-advisory fees payable by Mason Street to each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson under the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that Mason Street had previously confirmed to the Trustees that the sub-advisory fees payable under each Sub-Advisory Agreement were reasonable in light of the quality of the services performed by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson. Since the sub-advisory fees are paid by Mason Street, the overall advisory fee paid by the Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services provided by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson or the

profitability of each relationship with the Fund to be material factors for consideration given that American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson are not affiliated with Mason Street and, therefore, the sub-advisory fees were negotiated on an arm’s-length basis. Based on all these factors, the Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fees paid to American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson by Mason Street were reasonable in light of the services provided by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson.
4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS
Since the sub-advisory fees payable to each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson are not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.
5. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND
The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits that each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson may receive, such as greater name recognition and increased ability to obtain research or brokerage services or attract additional investor assets, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund.
CONCLUSIONS
The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement with each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the respective Sub-Advisory Agreement with each of American Century, Boston Partners, Franklin, Kayne Anderson, NBIA, and Vaughan Nelson for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026 as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
