Dear
Shareholder:
Global
equity
markets
were
down
during
the
relevant
period
–
the
MSCI
All-Country
World
Index
(net
dividends)
(“MSCI
ACWI”)
fell
11.9%
during
the
fiscal
year
ended
November
30,
2022
–
as
the
market
grappled
with
soaring
inflationary
pressures
and
the
attempts
of
global
central
banks
to
control
it.
The
U.S.
Federal
Reserve’s
(Fed),
and
other
central
bank’s
chief
weapon
to
stamp
out
inflation
has
been
to
increase
interest
rates,
which
comes
with
the
risk
of
negatively
impacting
global
growth
and
drifting
economies
into
a
possible
recession.
The
supply
chain
shortages,
aggressive
stimulus
and
monetary
policy
during
the
COVID-19
pandemic
created
meaningful
inflationary
pressures
on
U.S.
consumers.
U.S.
Consumer
Price
Index
(CPI)
has
come
down
from
its
peak
of
9.1%
in
June
2022
but
remains
an
important
data
marker
for
policymakers,
as
it
weighs
on
consumer
sentiment.
In
2022,
the
Fed
increased
interest
rates
seven
consecutive
times,
maintaining
a
hawkish
position
with
global
central
banks
following
suit.
Additionally,
the
invasion
of
Ukraine
translated
to
a
sharp
shift
in
the
energy
supply
of
the
Eurozone
that
exacerbated
the
global
inflation
problem
and
contributed
to
economic
deterioration
in
the
region.
Global
Economy
:
Global
markets
may
continue
to
decline
over
the
course
of
2022
and
into
2023
as
economic
uncertainty
remains.
The
main
concern
is
whether
central
banks
can
balance
rate
hike
increases
while
not
stunting
economic
growth.
Global
Purchasing
Managers’
Indices
are
descending
into
contraction
territory
which
is
likely
to
result
in
negative
growth
in
the
coming
year.
While
valuations
have
compressed
across
all
major
markets,
earnings
revisions
may
continue
to
drift
lower
as
companies
deal
with
volume
challenges
and
lingering
input
costs.
New
COVID
cases
continue
to
linger
globally,
however,
high
vaccination
rates
and
low
fatality
rates
have
desensitized
the
markets
to
COVID
related
news
outside
of
China
where
“Zero-COVID”
policy
remained
until
very
recently.
China
has
recently
eliminated
more
than
half
its
Zero-COVID
curbs
in
just
a
few
weeks,
with
the
explosive
about-turn
putting
the
economy
on
track
to
be
free
of
COVID
constraints
by
the
end
of
March
2023.
The
first
COVID
deaths
since
the
rules
easing
were
reported
on
December
18,
2022.
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund:
For
the
fiscal
year
ended
November
30,
2022,
the
Institutional
Class
shares
of
the
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
returned
-14.55%(net)
versus
the
MSCI
ACWI
return
of
-11.62%
over
the
same
period.
The
Fund
was
negatively
impacted
during
the
period
by
its
structural
underweight
to
traditional
Energy,
which
had
an
exceptional
year,
given
the
portfolio’s
focus
on
companies
providing
climate
adaptation
or
mitigation
solutions.
Sweetgreen
was
the
largest
single
detractor,
as
the
market
has
punished
early-stage
growth
companies
with
short
operating
histories.
We
continue
to
have
conviction
in
Sweetgreen’s
brand
and
growth
prospects,
as
we
believe
it
is
well
positioned
to
benefit
from
changing
high-income
preferences
for
healthier
meals
with
a
relatively
lower
carbon
footprint.
Mueller
Industries
,
a
provider
of
components
for
water
infrastructure
and
heating,
ventilation,
and
air
conditioning
industries,
was
the
largest
contributor
to
relative
performance
during
the
period.
The
company
is
generating
high
cash
flows
while
also
operating
at
high
levels
of
efficiency
and
productivity.
Mueller
has
limited
sell-side
coverage,
and
we
believe
the
market
underappreciates
the
company’s
resilient
demand
backdrop
for
their
products.
4
Looking
Forward:
We
continue
to
believe
that
this
uncertain
and
inflationary
environment
favors
companies
that
can
quickly
and
efficiently
pass
along
prices
to
consumers.
Additionally,
the
economic
uncertainties
presented
by
Energy
markets
in
2022
will
likely
create
long-term
opportunities
for
lower-carbon
solutions
and
investments,
as
these
can
reduce
energy
dependencies
at
lower
costs
in
most
geographies.
In
the
face
of
economic
headwinds,
companies
that
address
complex
environmental
challenges
will
continue
to
see
opportunities.
The
energy
crisis
Europe
currently
faces
has
caused
short-term
gyrations
in
energy
use,
including
extending
the
life
of
nuclear
assets
set
for
retirement
(Germany,
Belgium)
and
higher
use
of
coal
for
electricity
generation.
The
prospect
of
a
cold
winter
will
dictate
how
the
region
continues
to
evaluate
its
position
in
2023,
with
short-term
fixes
to
maintain
consumer
prices
lower
being
the
current
goal.
The
European
Commission
has
proposed
obligatory
electricity
consumption
declines
of
5%
and
set
a
revenue
cap
on
electricity
to
discourage
high
energy
costs
as
well
as
collect
additional
revenue
from
electricity
producers
that
have
been
deemed
to
be
earning
excess
profits
from
high
power
prices.
While
we
are
witnessing
odd
distortions
in
energy
markets
today,
we
believe
these
will
drive
additional
demand
for
cleaner
fuels
tomorrow
not
only
due
to
price
dynamics
but
also
due
to
the
ability
for
governments
and
corporations
to
drive
domestic
production
and
enhance
energy
security.
Moreover,
if
Europe
is
able
to
navigate
the
current
crisis
reasonably
and
set
up
well
into
Winter
2023,
the
relief
will
create
the
opportunity
for
affected
stocks
to
outperform.
In
the
U.S.,
the
Inflation
Reduction
Act
(IRA)
signed
into
law
this
past
August
will
enable
nearly
$370
billion
in
incentives
to
boost
adoption
of
renewable
energy
and
accelerate
the
transition
to
a
low
carbon
U.S.
economy.
The
IRA
bill
will
also
contain
measures
to
help
accelerate
emissions
reductions
and
position
the
U.S.
on
track
to
reduce
emissions
by
40%
compared
to
2005
levels,
by
2030.
We
believe
the
passage
of
the
IRA
bill
will
provide
enhanced
visibility
to
enable
increased
investments
in
climate
change
solutions
such
as
renewable
energy,
electric
vehicles,
energy
efficiency
and
infrastructure
resiliency.
The
passage
of
the
IRA
bill
also
positions
the
U.S.
closer
in
line
with
the
commitments
pledged
under
the
Paris
Agreement
to
limit
temperature
increases
to
1.5
degrees
Celsius.

Mutual
fund
investing
involves
risk.
The
value
of
your
investment
in
the
Fund
could
go
down
as
well
as
up.
You
may
lose
money
investing
in
the
Fund,
including
the
loss
of
principal.
Investing
in
the
Fund
is
subject
to
certain
risks,
including
general
market
risk;
management
risk;
climate
solutions
risk;
the
risks
of
investing
in
equity
securities,
MLPs,
REITS,
other
investment
companies
and
exchange
traded
funds
and
other
types
of
securities.
Investments
in
large
capitalization
companies
may
be
unable
to
respond
quickly
to
new
competitive
challenges
such
as
changes
in
consumer
tastes
or
innovative
smaller
competitors.
Large
cap
companies
are
sometimes
unable
to
attain
the
high
growth
rates
of
successful,
smaller
companies,
especially
during
extended
periods
of
economic
expansion.
Investments
in
small-
and
medium-capitalization
companies
tend
to
have
limited
liquidity
and
greater
price
volatility
than
large-capitalization
companies.
Investments
in
non-U.S.
securities
may
be
more
sensitive
to
currency
fluctuations,
political
and
economic
instability,
differing
government
regulations
and
liquidity
risks.
These
risks
are
greater
5
in
emerging
markets.
Commodity-linked
investments
may
subject
the
Fund
to
greater
risks
and
volatility
as
commodity
prices
may
be
influenced
by
a
variety
of
factors
including
unfavorable
weather,
environmental
factors,
and
changes
in
government
regulations.
The
Fund’s
focus
on
environmental
criteria
will
limit
the
number
of
investment
opportunities
available
to
the
Fund
as
compared
to
other
mutual
funds
with
broader
investment
objectives,
and
as
a
result,
the
Fund
may
underperform
funds
that
are
not
subject
to
similar
investment
considerations.
Portfolio
companies
may
be
significantly
affected
by
environmental
considerations,
taxation,
government
regulation
(including
the
increased
cost
of
compliance),
inflation,
increases
in
interest
rates,
price
and
supply
fluctuations,
increases
in
the
cost
of
raw
materials
and
other
operating
costs,
technological
advances,
and
competition
from
new
market
entrants.
In
addition,
companies
may
share
common
characteristics
and
be
subject
to
similar
business
risks
and
regulatory
burdens.
A
downturn
in
the
demand
for
climate
change
mitigation
and
adaptation
products
and
services
is
likely
to
have
a
significant
negative
impact
on
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
investments.
As
a
result
of
these
and
other
factors,
the
Fund’s
portfolio
investments
are
expected
to
be
volatile,
which
may
result
in
significant
investment
losses
to
the
Fund.

Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
Expense
Example
November
30,
2022
(Unaudited)
As
a
shareholder
of
the
Fund,
you
incur
two
types
of
costs:
(1)
transaction
costs,
and
(2)
ongoing
costs,
including
management
fees,
distribution
and
service
(12b-1)
fees
and
other
Fund
expenses.
This
Example
is intended
to
help
you
understand
your
ongoing
costs
(in
dollars)
of
investing
in
the
Fund,
and
to
compare
these
costs
with
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
other
mutual
funds.
The
Example is
based
on
an
investment
of
$1,000
invested
at
the
beginning
of
the
period
and
held
for
the
entire
period
(6/1/22
–
11/30/22).
Actual
Expenses
The
first
line
of
each
of
the
following
tables
provides
information
about
actual
account
values
and
actual
expenses.
Although
the
Fund
charges
no
sales
load,
you
will
be
assessed
fees
for
outgoing
wire
transfers,
returned
checks
and
stop
payment
orders
at
prevailing
rates
charged
by
U.S.
Bancorp
Fund
Services,
LLC,
the
Fund's
transfer
agent.
If
you
request
that
a
redemption
be
made
by
wire
transfer,
currently
a
$15.00
fee
is
charged
by
the
Fund's
transfer
agent.
Individual
Retirement
Accounts
will
be
charged
a
$15.00
annual
maintenance
fee.
To
the
extent
the
Fund
invests
in
shares
of
exchange-traded
funds
or
other
investment
companies
as
part
of its
investment
strategy,
you
will
indirectly
bear
your
proportionate
share
of
any
fees
and
expenses
charged
by
the
underlying
funds
in
which
the
Fund
invests
in
addition
to
the
expenses
of
the
Fund.
Actual
expenses
of
the
underlying
funds
are
expected
to
vary
among
the
various
underlying
funds.
These
expenses
are
not
included
in
the
Example.
The
Example
includes,
but is
not
limited
to,
management
fees,
fund
administration
fees
and
accounting,
custody
and
transfer
agent
fees.
You
may
use
the
information
in
this
line,
together
with
the
amount
you
invested,
to
estimate
the
expenses
that
you
paid
over
the
period.
Simply
divide
your
account
value
by
$1,000
(for
example,
an
$8,600
account
value
divided
by
$1,000
=
8.6),
then
multiply
the
result
by
the
number
in
the
first
line
under
the
heading
entitled
“Expenses
Paid
During
Period”
to
estimate
the
expenses
you
paid
on
your
account
during
this
period.
Hypothetical
Example
for
Comparison
Purposes
The
second
line
of
each
of
the
following
tables
provides
information
about
hypothetical
account
values
and
hypothetical
expenses
based
on
the
Fund's
actual
expense
ratio
and
an
assumed
rate
of
return
of
5%
per
year
before
expenses,
which
is
not
the
Fund's
actual
return.
The
hypothetical
account
values
and
expenses
may
not
be
used
to
estimate
the
actual
ending
account
balance
or
expenses
you
paid
for
the
period.
You
may
use
this
information
to
compare
the
ongoing
costs
of
investing
in
the
Fund
and
other
funds.
To
do
so,
compare
this
5%
hypothetical
example
with
the
5%
hypothetical
examples
that
appear
in
the
shareholder
reports
of
other
funds.
Please
note
that
the
expenses
shown
in
the
tables
are
meant
to
highlight
your
ongoing
costs
only
and
do
not
reflect
any
transactional
costs,
such
as
sales
charges
(loads),
redemption
fees
or
exchange
fees.
Therefore,
the
second
line
of
the
table
is
useful
in
comparing
ongoing
costs
only,
and
will
not
help
you
determine
the
relative
total
costs
of
owning
different
funds.
In
addition,
if
these
transactional
costs
were
included,
your
costs

Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
Investment
Highlights
November

2022
(Unaudited)
The
Fund
seeks
long-term
growth
of
capital
principally
through
equity
investments
in
global
companies
across
the
market
capitalization
spectrum
offering
on
climate
change
mitigation
or
adaptation
products
and
services.
Rockefeller
&
Co.,
LLC
(the
“Adviser”)
typically
considers
a
company
to
be
focused
on
climate
mitigation
or
adaptation
solutions
where
it
generates
revenue
by
delivering
products
or
services
related
to
water
infrastructure
and
technologies,
waste
management
and
technologies,
energy
efficiency,
food,
agriculture
and
forestry,
renewable
and
alternative
energy,
healthcare,
pollution
control,
and/or
climate
support
systems
(“Climate
Solution
Activities”).
While
the
Fund
may
invest
in
companies
operating
in
any
industry
or
sector,
due
to
its
focus
on
Climate
Solutions
Activities,
the
Fund
is
expected
to
have
more
meaningful
exposure
to
companies
operating
in
the
Industrials
sector,
and
to
a
lesser
extent,
to
companies
operating
in
the
Consumer
Discretionary,
Communication
Services,
traditional
Energy,
and
Financials
sectors.
The
Adviser
believes
that
companies
positioned
alongside
environmental
sectors
have
the
potential
to
significantly
outperform
the
broader
equity
market
over
the
long-term.

Performance
data
quoted
represents
past
performance
and
does
not
guarantee
future
results.
The
investment
return
and
principal
value
of
an
investment
will
fluctuate
so
that
an
investor’s
shares,
when
redeemed,
may
be
worth
more
or
less
than
their
original
cost.
Current
performance
of
the
Fund
may
be
lower
or
higher
than
the
performance
quoted.
Performance
data
current
to
the
most
recent
month-end
may
be
obtained
by
calling
855-
369-6209.
Short-term
performance,
in
particular,
is
not
a
good
indication
of
the
Fund’s
future
performance,
and
an
investment
should
not
be
made
based
solely
on
historical
returns.
Investment
performance
reflects
fee
waivers
in
effect.
In
the
absence
of
such
waivers,
total
return
would
be
reduced.
The
returns
shown
assume
reinvestment
of
Fund
distributions
and
do
not
reflect
the
deduction
of
taxes
that
a
shareholder
would
pay
on
Fund
distributions
or
the
redemption
of
Fund
shares.
The
following
chart
illustrates
performance
of
a
hypothetical
investment
made
in
the
Fund
and
a
broad-based
securities
index
on
the
Fund’s
inception
date.
The
graph
does
not
reflect
any
future
performance.

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
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
(the
"Fund") represents
a
distinct
diversified series
with
its
own
investment
objective
and
policies
within
the
Trust.
The
investment
objective
of
the Fund
is
to
seek
long-term
growth
of
capital
principally
through
equity
investments
in
public
companies
across
the
market
capitalization
spectrum
offering
climate
change
mitigation
or
adaptation
products
and
services.
The
Trust
may
issue
an
unlimited
number
of
shares
of
beneficial
interest
at
$0.001
par
value.
Costs
incurred
by
the
Fund
in
connection
with
the
organization,
registration
and
initial
public
offering
of
shares
were
borne
by
the
Adviser.

Significant
Accounting
Policies
The
following
is
a
summary
of
significant
accounting
policies
consistently
followed
by
the
Fund
in
the
preparation
of
the
financial
statements.
These
policies
are
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“GAAP”).
The
Fund is
an
investment
company and
accordingly
follows
the
investment
company
accounting
reporting
guidance
of
the
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Board
(FASB)
Accounting
Standard
Codification
Topic
946
“Financial
Services-Investment
Companies”.
(a)
Investment
Valuation
Each
equity
security
owned
by
the
Fund
that
is
listed
on
a
securities
exchange,
except
for
securities
listed
on
the
NASDAQ
Stock
Market
LLC
(“NASDAQ”),
is
valued
at
its
last
sale
price
at
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
Fund
will
use
the
price
on
the
exchange
that
the
Fund
generally
considers
to
be
the
principal
exchange
on
which
the
security
is
traded.
Fund
securities,
including
common
stocks,
preferred
stocks
and
exchange
traded
funds,
listed
on
NASDAQ
will
be
valued
at
the
NASDAQ
Official
Closing
Price,
which
may
not
necessarily
represent
the
last
sale
price.
If,
on
a
particular
day,
an
exchange-listed
or
NASDAQ
security
does
not
trade,
then:
(i)
the
security
is
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
most
recent
quoted
bid
and
asked
prices
at
the
close
of
the
exchange
on
such
day;
or
(ii)
the
security
is
valued
at
the
latest
sales
price
on
the
Composite
Market
for
the
day
such
security
is
being
valued.
“Composite
Market”
means
a
consolidation
of
the
trade
information
provided
by
national
securities
and
foreign
exchanges
and
the
over-
the-counter
markets
as
published
by
an
approved
independent
pricing
service
(“Pricing
Service”).
Foreign
securities
will
be
priced
in
their
local
currencies
as
of
the
close
of
their
primary
exchange
or
market
or
as
of
the
time
the
Fund
calculates
its
NAV,
whichever
is
earlier.
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
using
the
applicable
currency
exchange
rates
as
of
the
close
of
the
New
York
Stock
Exchange
(“NYSE”),
generally
4:00
p.m.
Eastern
Time.
Foreign
securities
are
traded
on
foreign
exchanges
which
typically
close
before
the
close
of
business
on
each
day
on
which
the
NYSE
is
open.
Each

trading
on

Rockefeller
Climate

Fund
Notes

(Continued)
November
30,
2022
these
exchanges
may
be
valued
utilizing
a
systematic
fair
valuation
model
provided
by
a
pricing
service.
The
valuation
of
each
security
that
meets
certain
criteria
in
relation
to
the
valuation
model
is
systematically
adjusted
to
reflect
the
impact
of
movement
in
the
U.S.
market
after
the
foreign
markets
close
and
are
classified
as
Level
2
securities.
Securities
that
do
not
meet
the
criteria,
or
that
are
principally
traded
in
other
foreign
markets,
are
valued
as
of
the
last
reported
sale
price
at
the
time
the
respective
Fund
determines
its
NAV,
or
when
reliable
market
prices
or
quotations
are
not
readily
available,
at
the
mean
between
the
most
recent
bid
and
asked
quotations
as
of
the
close
of
the
appropriate
exchange
or
other
designated
time.
Debt
securities,
including
short-term
debt
instruments
having
a
maturity
of
60
days
or
less,
are
generally
valued
at
the
mean
in
accordance
with
prices
provided
by
a
Pricing
Service.
Pricing
Services
may
use
various
valuation
methodologies
such
as
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
the
asked
prices,
matrix
pricing
and
other
analytical
pricing
models
as
well
as
market
transactions
and
dealer
quotations.
If
a
price
is
not
available
from
a
Pricing
Service,
the
most
recent
quotation
obtained
from
one
or
more
broker-
dealers
known
to
follow
the
issue
will
be
obtained.
Quotations
will
be
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
bid
and
the
offer.
In
the
absence
of
available
quotations,
the
securities
will
be
priced
at
fair
value, as
described
below.
When
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available,
any
security
or
other
financial
instrument
is
valued
at
its
fair
value
in
accordance
with
Rule
2a-5
of
the
1940
Act as
determined
under
the
Adviser's
fair
value
pricing procedures,
subject
to
oversight
by
the
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
market
value.
The
intended
effect
of
using
fair
value
pricing
procedures
is
to
ensure
that
the
Fund is
accurately
priced.
The Adviser
will
regularly
evaluate
whether
the
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.
The
Fund
has
adopted
Statement
of
Financial
Accounting
Standards,
“Fair
Value
Measurements
and
Disclosures,”
which
requires
the
Fund
to
classify its
securities
based
on
a
valuation
method.
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).
The
inputs
or
methodology
used
for
valuing
securities
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
The
following
is
a
summary
of
the
inputs
used
to
value
the
Fund's
investments
carried
at
fair
value
as
of
November
30,
2022:

The
Fund
held
no
Level
3
securities
during
the year
ended
November
30,
2022.
The
Fund
did
not
invest
in
derivative
securities
or
engage
in
hedging
activities
during
the year
ended
November
30,
2022.
(b)
Federal
Income
Taxes
The
Fund
complies
with
the
requirements
of
Subchapter
M
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Code
of
1986,
as
amended
the
(“Code”),
necessary
to
qualify
as
a
regulated
investment
company
and
make
the
requisite
distributions
of
income
and
capital
gains
to
shareholders
sufficient
to
relieve
them
from
all
or
substantially
all
federal
income
taxes.
Therefore,
no
federal
income
tax
provision
has
been
provided.
(c)
Distributions
to
Shareholders
The
Fund
will
distribute
net
investment
income
(less
operation
expenses)
and
net
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
Fund
may
also
pay
a
special
distribution
at
the
end
of
the
calendar
year
to
comply
with
federal
tax
requirements.
The
amounts
of
dividends
from
net
investment
income
and
distributions
from
net
realized
gains
are
determined
in
accordance
with
federal
income
tax
regulations,
which
may
differ
from
GAAP.
These
differences
are
either
temporary
or
permanent
in
nature.
To
the
extent
these
differences
are
permanent
in
nature,
such
amounts
are
reclassified
within
the
composition
of
net
assets
based
on
their
federal
tax-basis
treatment.
(d)
Use
of
Estimates
The
preparation
of
financial
statements
in
conformity
with
GAAP
requires
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities
and
disclosure
of
contingent
assets
and
liabilities
at
the
date
of
the
financial
statements
and
the
reported
amounts
of
revenues
and
expenses
during
the
reporting
period.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.

Share
Valuation
The
NAV
per
share
of the
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,
rounded
to
the
nearest
cent.
The
Fund's
shares
will
not
be
priced
on
the
days
on
which
the
NYSE
is
closed
for
trading.
The
offering
and
redemption
price
per
share
for��the
Fund
is
equal
to the
Fund’s
NAV
per
share.
(f)
Expenses
Expenses
associated
with
a
specific
fund
in
the
Trust
are
charged
to
that
fund.
Expenses
are
recognized
on
an
accrual
basis.
Common
expenses
are
typically
allocated
evenly
between
the
series
of
the
Trust,
or
by
other
equitable
means.

are
recorded
on
the
trade
date.
The
Fund
determines
the
gain
or
loss
from
investment
transactions
on
a
high
amortized
cost
basis.
Dividend
income
is
recognized
on
the
ex-dividend
date
and
interest
income
is
recognized
on
an
accrual
basis.
Distributions
received
from
the
Fund's
investments
in
REITs
are
comprised
of
ordinary
income,
capital
gains
and
return
of
capital,
as
applicable.
For
financial
statement
purposes,
the
Fund
uses
estimates
to
characterize
these
distributions
received
as
return
of
capital,
capital
gain
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
the
tax
reporting
periods
are
concluded,
as
the
actual
character
of
these
distributions
is
not
known
until
after
the
fiscal
year
end
of
the
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
Statement
of
Operations.
The
distributions
received
that
are
classified
as
return
of
capital
reduced
the
cost
of
investments
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.
Any
discount
or
premium
is
accreted
or
amortized
using
the
constant
yield
method
until
maturity,
or
where
applicable,
the
first
call
date
of
the
security.
Constant
yield
amortization
takes
into
account
the
income
that
is
produced
on
a
debt
security.
This
accretion/amortization
type
utilizes
the
discount
rate
used
in
computing
the
present
value
of
all
future
principal
and
interest
payments
made
by
a
debt
instrument
and
produces
an
amount
equal
to
the
cost
of
the
debt
instrument.

As
of November
30,
2022,
the
components
of
accumulated
earnings
(losses)
for
income
tax
purposes
were
as
follows:
The
difference
between
cost
amounts
for
financial
statement
and
federal
income
tax
purposes
is
due
to
wash
sale
and
partnership adjustments
and
timing
differences
in
recognizing
certain
gains
and
losses
in
security
transactions.
As
of
November
30,
2022,
the
Fund
had
short-term
capital
losses
of
$3,979,753 and
long-term
capital
losses
of
$539,008,
which
will
be
carried
forward
indefinitely
to
offset
future
realized
capital
gains.
As
of
November
30,
2022,
the
tax
years 2021
and
2022
remain
open
to
examination
in
the
Fund's
major
tax
jurisdictions.
The
Fund is
also
not
aware
of
any
tax
positions
for
which
it
is
reasonably
possible
that
the
total
amounts
of
unrecognized
tax
benefits
will
significantly
change
in
the
next
year.
The
Fund
recognizes
interest
and
penalties,
if
any,
related
to
unrecognized
tax
benefits
as
income
tax
expense
in
the
Statement
of
Operations.
During
the
year,
the
Fund
did
not
incur
any
interest
or
penalties,
nor
were
any
accrued
as
of
November
30,
2022.
GAAP
requires
that
certain
components
of
net
assets
relating
to
permanent
differences
be
reclassified
between
financial
and
tax
reporting.
These
reclassifications
have
no
effect
on
net
assets
or
NAV
per
share.
For
the year
ended
November
30,
2022,
the
following
reclassifications
were
made
for
permanent
tax
differences
on
the
Statement
of
Assets
and
Liabilities.

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

To
the
Shareholders
of

Fund
and
the
Board
of
Trustees
of
Trust
for
Professional

Opinion
on
the
Financial
Statements
and
Financial
Highlights
We
have
audited
the
accompanying
statement
of
assets
and
liabilities,
including
the
schedule
of
investments,
of
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
(the
“Fund”),
a
portfolio
of
the
series
constituting
the
Trust
for
Professional
Managers,
as
of
November
30,
2022,
the
related
statement
of
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
statements
of
changes
in
net
assets
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
year
then
ended
and
for
the
period
from
July
21,
2021
(commencement
date)
to
November
30,
2021,
and
the
related
notes.
In
our
opinion,
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
present
fairly,
in
all
material
respects,
the
financial
position
of
the
Fund
as
of
November
30,
2022,
and
the
results
of
its
operations
for
the
year
then
ended,
the
changes
in
its
net
assets
and
the
financial
highlights
for
the
year
then
ended
and
period
from
July
21,
2021
(commencement
date)
to
November
30,
2021,
in
conformity
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America.
Basis
for
Opinion
The
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
are
the
responsibility
of
the
Fund’s
management.
Our
responsibility
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
Fund’s
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights
based
on
our
audit.
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
Fund
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
and
financial
highlights
are
free
of
material
misstatement,
whether
due
to
error
or
fraud.
The
Fund
is
not
required
to
have,
nor
were
we
engaged
to
perform,
an
audit
of
its
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
As
part
of
our
audits,
we
are
required
to
obtain
an
understanding
of
internal
control
over
financial
reporting
but
not
for
the
purpose
of
expressing
an
opinion
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Fund’s
internal
control
over
financial
reporting.
Accordingly,
we
express
no
such
opinion.
Our
audits
included
performing
procedures
to
assess
the
risks
of
material
misstatement
of
the
financial
statements
and
financial
highlights,
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
and
financial
highlights.
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
and
financial
highlights.
Our
procedures
included
confirmation
of
securities
owned
as
of
November
30,
2022,
by
correspondence
with
the
custodian
and
brokers;
when
replies
were
not
received
from
brokers,
we
performed
other
auditing
procedures.
We
believe
that
our
audits
provide
a
reasonable
basis
for
our
opinion.

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
Fund’s
performance,
as
well
as
the
management
fees
and
other
expenses
of
the
Fund,
due
diligence
materials
relating
to
the
Adviser
(including
a
due
diligence
questionnaire
completed
on
behalf
of
the
Fund
by
the
Adviser,
the
Adviser’s
Form
ADV,
select
financial
statements
of
the
Adviser,
bibliographic
information
of
the
Adviser’s
key
management
and
compliance
personnel,
comparative

information
for
the
Fund
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
Fund’s
other
service
providers,
the
Trustees,
by
a
unanimous
vote
(including
a
separate
vote
of
the
Trustees
who
are
not
“interested
persons,”
as
that
term
is
defined
in
the
Investment
Company
Act
of
1940,
as
amended
(the
“Independent
Trustees”)),
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Agreement
for
an
additional
one-year
term
ending
August
31,
2023.
DISCUSSION
OF
FACTORS
CONSIDERED
In
considering
the
renewal
of
the
Agreement
and
reaching
their
conclusions,
the
Trustees
reviewed
and
analyzed
various
factors
that
they
determined
were
relevant,
including
the
factors
enumerated
below.
1.
NATURE,
EXTENT
AND
QUALITY
OF
SERVICES
TO
BE
PROVIDED
TO
THE
FUND
The
Trustees
considered
the
nature,
extent
and
quality
of
services
provided
by
the
Adviser
to
the
Fund
and
the
amount
of
time
devoted
to
the
Fund’s
operation
by
the
Adviser’s
staff.
The
Trustees
considered
the
Adviser’s
specific
responsibilities
in
all
aspects
of
day-to-day
management
of
the
Fund,
including
the
investment
strategies
implemented
by
the
Adviser,
as
well
as
the
qualifications,
experience
and
responsibilities
of
Casey
C.
Clark
and
Rolando
F.
Morillo,
the
Fund’s
portfolio
managers,
and
other
key
personnel
at
the
Adviser
involved
in
the
day-to-day
activities
of
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
reviewed
information
provided
by
the
Adviser
in
a
due
diligence
questionnaire,
including
the
structure
of
the
Adviser’s
compliance
program
and
its
continuing
commitment
to
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
noted
that
during
the
course
of
the
prior
year
the
Adviser
had
participated
in
a
Trust
board
meeting
to
discuss
the
Fund’s
performance
and
outlook,
along
with
the
compliance
efforts
made
by
the
Adviser.
The
Trustees
also
noted
any
services
that
extended
beyond
portfolio
management,
and
they
considered
the
brokerage
practices
of
the
Adviser.
The
Trustees
discussed
the
Adviser’s
handling
of
compliance
matters,
including
the
reports
of
the
Trust’s
chief
compliance
officer
30
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
Basis
for
Trustees’
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
(Continued)
to
the
Trustees
on
the
effectiveness
of
the
Adviser’s
compliance
program.
The
Trustees
also
considered
the
Adviser’s
overall
financial
condition,
as
well
as
the
implementation
and
operational
effectiveness
of
the
Adviser’s
business
continuity
plan
in
response
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
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
Agreement
and
that
the
nature,
overall
quality
and
extent
of
the
management
services
provided
to
the
Fund,
as
well
as
the
Adviser’s
compliance
program,
were
satisfactory
and
reliable.
2.
INVESTMENT
PERFORMANCE
OF
THE
FUND
AND
THE
ADVISER
The
Trustees
discussed
the
performance
of
the
Fund
for
the
quarter
and
since
inception
periods
ended
March
31,
2022.
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
Fund
on
both
an
absolute
basis
and
in
comparison
to
a
benchmark
index
(the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index)
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
global
small/mid-cap
stock,
global
large-cap
stock
blend,
global
large-cap
stock
growth
and
mid-cap
blend
funds)
(the
“Barrington
Cohort”).
The
Trustees
also
reviewed
information
on
the
historical
performance
of
other
separately-managed
accounts
of
the
Adviser
with
the
same
or
similar
investment
strategies
as
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
noted
the
Fund
did
not
yet
have
a
full
year
of
performance
as
of
March
31,
2022,
and
therefore
a
comparison
of
the
performance
of
the
Fund
to
the
Barrington
Cohort
was
not
available.
The
Trustees
noted
that
for
the
quarter
and
since
inception
periods
ended
March
31,
2022,
the
Fund
had
underperformed
the
MSCI
All
Country
World
Index.
After
considering
all
of
the
information,
the
Trustees
concluded
that
the
performance
obtained
by
the
Adviser
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
Adviser’s
continued
management.
3.
COSTS
OF
SERVICES
PROVIDED
AND
PROFITS
TO
BE
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
Fund.
The
Trustees
reviewed
the
related
statistical
information
and
other
materials
provided,
including
the
comparative
expenses
and
Barrington
Cohort
comparisons.
The
Trustees
considered
the
cost
structure
of
the
Fund
relative
to
the
Barrington
Cohort
and
the
separately-managed
accounts
of
the
Adviser
with
the
same
or
similar
investment
strategies
as
the
Fund,
as
well
as
any
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements
of
the
Adviser.
The
Trustees
also
considered
the
overall
profitability
of
the
Adviser
and
reviewed
the
Adviser’s
financial
information.
The
Trustees
also
examined
the
level
of
profits
that
could
be
expected
to
accrue
to
the
Adviser
from
the
fees
payable
under
the
Agreement,
as
well
as
the
Fund’s
brokerage
practices
and
use
of
soft
dollars
by
the
Adviser.
These
considerations
were
based
on
materials
requested
by
the
Trustees
and
the
Fund’s
administrator
specifically
31
Rockefeller
Climate
Solutions
Fund
Basis
for
Trustees’
Approval
of
Investment
Advisory
Agreement
(Continued)
for
the
June
13,
2022
meeting
and
the
August
26,
2022
meeting
at
which
the
Agreement
was
formally
considered,
as
well
as
the
reports
prepared
by
the
Adviser
over
the
course
of
the
year.
The
Trustees
noted
that
the
Fund’s
contractual
management
fee
of
0.85%
was
above
the
Barrington
Cohort
average
of
0.82%.
The
Trustees
noted
that
the
Fund
was
operating
above
its
expense
cap
of
0.99%.
The
Trustees
observed
that
the
Fund’s
total
expense
ratio
(net
of
fee
waivers
and
expense
reimbursements)
of
0.99%
was
below
the
Barrington
Cohort
average
of
1.02%.
The
Trustees
also
compared
the
fees
paid
by
the
Fund
to
the
fees
paid
by
separately-managed
accounts
of
the
Adviser
that
are
managed
by
the
Adviser
with
similar
investment
strategies.
The
Trustees
concluded
that
the
Fund’s
expenses
and
the
management
fees
paid
to
the
Adviser
were
fair
and
reasonable
in
light
of
the
comparative
performance,
expense
and
management
fee
information.
The
Trustees
noted,
based
on
a
profitability
analysis
prepared
by
the
Adviser,
that
the
Fund
was
not
profitable
to
the
Adviser,
but
the
Adviser
maintained
adequate
profit
levels
to
support
its
services
to
the
Fund
from
the
revenues
of
its
overall
investment
advisory
business,
despite
its
subsidies
to
support
the
Fund’s
operations.
4.
EXTENT
OF
ECONOMIES
OF
SCALE
AS
THE
FUND
GROWS
The
Trustees
compared
the
Fund’s
expenses
relative
to
its
peer
group
and
discussed
realized
and
potential
economies
of
scale.
The
Trustees
also
reviewed
the
structure
of
the
Fund’s
management
fee
and
whether
the
Fund
was
large
enough
to
generate
economies
of
scale
for
shareholders
or
whether
economies
of
scale
would
be
expected
to
be
realized
as
Fund
assets
grow
(and
if
so,
how
those
economies
of
scale
were
being
or
would
be
shared
with
shareholders).
The
Trustees
reviewed
all
fee
waivers,
expense
reimbursements
and
potential
recoupments
by
the
Adviser
with
respect
to
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
noted
that
the
Fund’s
management
fee
structure
did
not
contain
any
breakpoint
reductions
as
the
Fund’s
assets
grow
in
size,
but
that
the
feasibility
of
incorporating
breakpoints
would
continue
to
be
reviewed
on
a
regular
basis.
With
respect
to
the
Adviser’s
fee
structure,
the
Trustees
concluded
that
the
current
fee
structure
was
reasonable
and
reflected
a
sharing
of
economies
of
scale
between
the
Adviser
and
the
Fund
at
the
Fund’s
current
asset
level.
5.
BENEFITS
TO
BE
DERIVED
FROM
THE
RELATIONSHIP
WITH
THE
FUND
The
Trustees
considered
the
direct
and
indirect
benefits
that
could
be
received
by
the
Adviser
from
its
association
with
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
examined
the
brokerage
practices
of
the
Adviser
with
respect
to
the
Fund.
The
Trustees
concluded
that
the
benefits
the
Adviser
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
Agreement,
the
Trustees
did
not
identify
any
one
factor
as
all-important,
but
rather
considered
these
factors
collectively
in
light
of
the
Fund’s
surrounding
circumstances.
Based
on
this
review,
the
Trustees,
including
a
majority
of
the
Independent
Trustees,
approved
the
continuation
of
the
Agreement
for
an
additional
term
ending
August
31,
2023
as
being
in
the
best
interests
of
the
Fund
and
its
shareholders.

paid
by
the
Fund
may
be
subject
to
a
maximum
tax
rate
of
23.8%,
as
provided
for
by
the
Jobs
and
Growth
Tax
Relief
Reconciliation
Act
of
2003.
The
percentage
of
dividends
declared
from
ordinary
income
designated
as
qualified
dividend
income
was
0.00%.
For
corporate
shareholders,
the
percent
of
ordinary
income
distributions
qualifying

corporate
dividends
received
deduction
for
the
fiscal
year
ended
November
30,
2022,
was
0.00%.
For
the
year
ended
November
30,
2022,
the
percentage
of
taxable
ordinary
income
distributions
designated

Indemnifications
Under
the
Trust’s
organizational
documents,
its
officers
and
Trustees
are
indemnified
against
certain
liabilities
arising
out
of
the
performance
of
their
duties
to
the
Fund.
In
addition,
in
the
normal
course
of
business,
the
Fund
enters
into
contracts
that
provide
general
indemnifications
to
other
parties.
The
Fund’s
maximum
exposure
under
these
arrangements
is
unknown
as
this
would
involve
future
claims
that
may
be
made
against
the
Fund
that
have
not
yet
occurred.
However,
the
Fund
has
not
had
prior
claims
or
losses

(b) Not applicable
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. Incorporated by reference to the Registrant’s Form N-CSR filed on February 6, 2019.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees h
as determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Dr. Michael Akers is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N‑CSR. Dr. Akers holds a Ph.D. in accountancy and is a professor of accounting at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
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 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 | |
Audit Fees | $28,900 | $28,000 |
Audit-Related Fees | 0 | 0 |
Tax Fees | $6,375 | $6,200 |
All Other Fees | 0 | 0 |
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.
The percentage of fees billed by
Deloitte & Touche LLP
applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
FYE 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 | |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
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.
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. 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.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 11/30/2022 | FYE 11/30/2021 |
Registrant | $0 | $0 |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | $613,700 | $613,700 |

Not applicable to registrants who are not listed issuers (as defined in Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

f Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the registrant’s board of trustees.
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
(a)
The Registrant’s President
and Treasurer have reviewed the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”)) as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d‑15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on their review, such officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this report is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported and made known to them by others within the Registrant and by the Registrant’s service provider.
(b)
