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.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including management fees and other expenses were deducted.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
In the year ended August 31, 2025, the Fund gained 4.05%, underperforming the 8.17% return 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 also 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 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.

Form N-CSR filed on November 4, 2024.
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. Dr. Michael Akers and Lisa Zúñiga Ramírez are
the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3
of Form N-CSR.
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.

(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.

(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

(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.

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.
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
TABLE OF CONTENTS

NOTES

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

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

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN
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. The following table details
the fees incurred by the Funds pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan during the year ended August 31, 2025, as well as the fees

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

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.

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.

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

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.

the renewal of the Sub-Advisory Agreements, detailed comparative information relating to the performance of the segment of the Fund’s

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne

Mitchell Firestein, Ted Randall and Matthew Dubin, who serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed
by American Century, and other key personnel at American Century. The Trustees next considered Boston Partners’ responsibilities
in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Steve Pollack, and Tim Collard, who
serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s assets managed by Boston Partners, and other key personnel at Boston
Partners. The Trustees next considered EARNEST’s responsibilities in its management of Fund assets, as well as the qualifications,

qualifications,
experience and responsibilities of Jon Christensen, and Craig Stone, who serve as the portfolio managers for the segment of the Fund’s
assets managed by Kayne Anderson, and other key personnel at Kayne Anderson.
The
Trustees also considered information provided by each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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 American Century, Boston
Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson. The Trustees concluded that each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco,
and Kayne Anderson 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 American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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 American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson, 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 Mid Cap Index and the Russell Mid Cap Value 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 noted the applicable segments of the Fund’s portfolio managed by American Century underperformed
the Russell Mid Cap Index and outperformed that Russell Mid Cap Value Index for the quarter and one-year period ended March 31, 2025,
but underperformed the respective benchmark index for the since inception period ended March 31, 2025.
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 Mid Cap Value Index)
and in comparison to a separate composite of separately-managed accounts of Boston Partners 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 outperformed the benchmark index for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, but underperformed the benchmark
index for the 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 EARNEST 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 EARNEST on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell Mid Cap Index) and in comparison
to a composite of other separately-managed accounts of EARNEST with similar investment strategies to that utilized by EARNEST in managing
its segment of the Fund’s portfolio. The Trustees noted that the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by EARNEST 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 discussed the performance of the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Invesco 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 Invesco on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index) and in
comparison to a composite with similar investment strategies to that utilized by Invesco in managing its segment of the Fund’s portfolio.
The Trustees noted the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Invesco 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 Kayne Anderson 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 Kayne Anderson on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index (the Russell Mid Cap Index) and in
comparison to separate accounts with similar investment strategies to that utilized by Kayne Anderson in managing its segment of the Fund’s
portfolio. The Trustees noted the segment of the Fund’s portfolio managed by Kayne Anderson outperformed the benchmark index for
the quarter ended March 31, 2025, but underperformed the benchmark index for the one-year and since inceptions periods ended March 31,
2025.
After
considering all the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST,
Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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 American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson.
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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson. 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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services
provided by each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson or the profitability of each relationship
with the Fund to be material factors for consideration given that American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson
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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne
Anderson by Mason Street were reasonable in light of the services provided by each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco,
and Kayne Anderson.
4.
EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS
Since
the sub-advisory fees payable to each of American Century, Boston Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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, EARNEST, Invesco,
and Kayne Anderson from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits that each of American Century, Boston
Partners, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson 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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson, 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, EARNEST, Invesco, and Kayne Anderson for an additional one-year term ending August 31, 2026 as being in the
best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.
