Dear Shareholder:
Over the past six months, the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) has shifted to a highly dovish stance, which helped to ease financial conditions and could potentially extend the expansion cycle. Chinese policymakers have also continued to provide stimulus in an attempt to reflate their economy. While the first quarter of 2019 got off to a good start with regards to economic growth (coupled with equities experiencing one of its strongest quarters in recent memory), a slowdown later in the year is expected given the strong growth the U.S. economy experienced in 2018 due to a highly stimulative tax cut.
While economic growth continues to be strong in the U.S., foreign markets appear skittish due to the escalation in protectionist trade measures, which may have attributed to a slowdown in economic growth in China and Europe. At the end of May 2019, President Donald Trump made an unprecedented move of threatening tariffs on Mexican imports unless Mexico manages to stem the flow of north-bound migrants.
These developments sparked risk-off reactions, with equities, emerging markets in particular, declining and sovereign bonds rallying. The bond market priced in a near certain Fed funds rate cut by year end, with the 3-month/10-year U.S. Treasury yield curve inverting further. Rockefeller continues to closely monitor signals from around the globe to assess the macro environment and to look for attractive investment opportunities.
Global Economy
Growth in 2019 has so far been uneven in the global markets. In the U.S., the unemployment rate continues to be low and growth strong. However, a slowdown is expected later in the year due to a number of factors. Much of the strong economic growth was driven by the 2018 tax cuts and more recently an inventory build-up and net exports. The impacts of these catalysts are likely to slow later in the year. In addition, consumer spending and capital expenditures have been on the softer side.
Elsewhere, Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Indices (“Manufacturing PMI”) in Japan, China, and Germany all dipped below 50 during the six month period – a signal that the manufacturing economy in those regions is declining. Emerging market economic growth has been mixed, with those countries closely tied to China experiencing a slowdown. However, those countries with a current account deficit could receive an economic boost given the increasingly dovish tone from central banks across the globe.
Federal Reserve Policy and the Bond Market:
Growth held up better than expected in the first quarter, with the economy expanding at a 3.1% annualized pace. Fears about deteriorating growth, however, were not fully unfounded. Although the big picture for the U.S. economy is not fundamentally different, the global economy seems to be experiencing a synchronized slowdown, which has prompted central bank policymakers to directionally turn decidedly more dovish. Earlier this month, Fed Chair Jerome Powell seemed to open the door for a potential rate cut should economic conditions warrant an adjustment in policy. Up until now, the Fed has seemed opposed to the notion of rate cuts, dismissing the recent weakness in growth and inflation for one reason or another. Domestic economic data has been mixed, but Rockefeller believes data has been strong enough on balance to keep the Fed on hold in the near-term. However, it is now increasingly likely that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) has concluded hiking rates this cycle. While Powell’s comments have opened the door to rate cuts, they leave little doubt that his policy approach remains reactive and data dependent. It may require more data weakness or tighter financial conditions to trigger the
3
Fed to cut rates; however, the landscape has clearly changed over the past several weeks and we believe the direction of the next Fed move is likely down, not up.
The 10-Year U.S. Treasury precipitously declined through the period and traded in an 86 basis point (bps) range finishing May at the lows, yielding 2.13%. Investors will continue to track and debate the economic landscape while monitoring the direction of Fed policy.
Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund:
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Institutional Class shares of the Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund returned -1.49% (net), while the MSCI All-Country World Index (Net Dividends) had a return of 1.40%. Weak relative returns in the Financials sector was the leading contributor to the Fund’s underperformance during the period. On the upside, strong returns in Communication Services had the greatest positive impact on relative performance. The Fund is invested in a blend of value and growth securities on a global basis, as well as preferred stocks.
Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond Fund:
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Institutional Class shares of the Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond Fund had a return of 6.34% (net), underperforming the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index benchmark, which returned 6.72%. Detracting from relative performance was the Fund’s sector allocations. An overweight to corporate bonds detracted as spreads compressed over the period. Meanwhile, the Fund’s longer relative duration contributed positively as yields declined across the curve.
Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund:
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Institutional Class shares of the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund had a return of +5.02% (net), while the Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short/Intermediate (1 – 10 Years) Index returned +4.85% and the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index returned +4.24%. Favorable positioning of the Fund toward a “flattening” of the yield curve, or a decrease in the extra yield available between short and long maturities, boosted relative returns as the yield curve flattened considerably.
Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund:
For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Institutional Class shares of the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund had a return of +5.00% (net), while the Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short/Intermediate (1 – 10 Years) Index returned +4.85% and the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index returned +4.24%. Favorable positioning of the Fund toward a “flattening” of the yield curve, or a decrease in the extra yield available between short and long maturities, boosted relative returns as the yield curve flattened considerably.
Looking Forward
Rockefeller believes that the sharp recovery has brought U.S. equities into fair value market territory. Non-U.S. equities still appear slightly undervalued if China can indeed manage to reflate its economy by late 2019. Market expectation for the first half of 2019 has come down materially, but remains somewhat elevated for the back half.
4
Fears of a global slowdown have caused interest rates across the world to come down, with yields on German 10 year bunds ending the period at -20 bps. This has created distortions in the market, with investors overlooking cyclical value and paying up for safe havens such as companies in the Staples and Utilities sectors, who have had a tough time generating earnings growth. Rockefeller continues to see opportunity in some of these cyclical stocks across the globe.

Opinions expressed are those of Rockefeller & Co. LLC and are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds are susceptible to adverse economic, political, tax, or regulatory changes which may magnify other risks. Income from tax-exempt funds may become subject to state and local taxes and a portion of income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for certain investors. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Funds in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investing in the municipal securities market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities. Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic development. The Funds may invest in restricted securities or “private placement” transactions. Private placement securities are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are subject to restrictions on resale. As such they are often both difficult to sell and to value. The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) which are subject to additional risks, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange on which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund is non-diversified, meaning it concentrates its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund, specifically in the State of New York issues. The Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund is subject to small- and medium-capitalization company risks, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund also invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater in emerging markets. Investing in commodities 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
5
regulations. Master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) in which the Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund may invest are subject to certain risks inherent in the structure of MLPs, including complex tax structure risks, the limited ability for election or removal of management, limited voting rights, potential dependence on parent companies or sponsors for revenues to satisfy obligations, and potential conflicts of interest between partners, members and affiliates. Earnings growth is not representative of the Fund’s future performance.
Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Indices are indicators of business activity in the manufacturing sectors. They are survey-based measures that ask respondents about changes in their perception of certain key business variables from the prior month. A figure above 50 denotes an expansion in business activity. A figure below 50 denotes a contraction in business activity.
The Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index which is widely regarded as a standard for measuring U.S. investment grade bond market performance.
The Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short/Intermediate (1 – 10 Years) Index has replaced the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index as the primary benchmark for the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund and the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund. Rockefeller & Co. LLC believes that the new index is a better representation of each Fund’s investment style, strategies and portfolio holdings than the prior benchmark. The Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short/Intermediate (1 – 10 Years) Index is the 1-10 year component of the Barclays Managed Money Index, which is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the tax-exempt municipal bond market. The Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is an index of long-term, fixed rate, investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds representative of the municipal bond market. The index is the 5-year (4-6) component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index.
The MSCI All Country World Index (Net Dividends) (“MSCI ACWI”) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that measures the equity performance of global developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI total return indices reinvest dividends after the deduction of withholding taxes, using (for international indices) a tax rate applicable to non-resident institutional investors who do not benefit from double taxation treaties.
One cannot invest directly in an index.
Basis point (bp) is a unit equal to 1/100th of 1% and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument. For example, 25 basis points is equal to 0.25%.
Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.
Yield Curve is a line that plots the interest rates, at a set point in time, of bonds having equal credit quality, but differing maturity dates. The most frequently reported yield curve compares the three-month, two-year, five-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury debt. The curve is used to predict changes in economic output and growth.

Expense Examples
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, 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. These Examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (12/1/18 – 5/31/19).
Actual Expenses
The first line of each of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge 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 Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. Individual Retirement Accounts will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of exchange-traded funds or other investment companies as part of their investment strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the Examples. The Examples include, but are 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 Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 would have been higher.

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective to generate current income consistent with the preservation of capital by investing under normal market conditions at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in taxable fixed-income securities. “Fixed-income securities” include corporate, government and municipal bonds, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, other investment companies and ETFs that will invest in fixed-income securities, and other fixed-income instruments. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed-income securities. Investment grade securities are fixed-income securities rated in the top four ratings categories by independent rating organizations such as Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), or deemed by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. The Adviser anticipates the Fund’s weighted average duration will be more than three years but less than ten years.

The Fund is non-diversified.

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.
The Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short‐Intermediate Index has replaced the Bloomberg Barclays 5 Year Municipal Bond Index as the Fund’s primary benchmark. The Advisor believes that the new index is a better representation of the Fund’s investment style, strategies and portfolio holdings than the prior benchmark.
The Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is an index of long-term, fixed-rate, investment-grade, tax-exempt bonds representative of the municipal bond market. The index is the 5-Year (4-6) component of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index. An index is unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly.
The Bloomberg Barclays Managed Money Short/Intermediate (1 – 10 Years) Index is the 1-10 year component of the Barclays Managed Money Index, which is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index engineered for the tax-exempt municipal bond market.

Rockefeller Funds
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
(1) | Organization |
Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Rockefeller Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund, Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond Fund, and Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund (each of which represents a distinct, diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust), and the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund (which represents a distinct, non-diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust). The investment objective of the Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund is to seek long-term total return from capital appreciation and income. The investment objective of the Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond Fund is to generate current income consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund is to generate current income that is exempt from federal personal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund is to generate current income that is exempt from federal, New York State and New York City personal income tax consistent with the preservation of capital. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond Fund, Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond Fund and Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Fund commenced operations on December 26, 2013. The Rockefeller Equity Allocation Fund commenced operations on February 4, 2015. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and initial public offering of shares were borne by the Adviser. | |
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Company”. | |
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
(a) | Investment Valuation |
Each security owned by the Funds 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 Funds will use the price on the exchange that the Funds generally consider 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 |
56
Rockefeller Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
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 security trading on these exchanges may be valued utilizing a systematic fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service approved by the board of trustees. 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 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 in accordance with the procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity. 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. | |
Municipal bonds are priced by a Pricing Service. A discounted cash flow methodology is employed using a benchmark yield and estimated cash flows for each bond, as well as an estimated discount for liquidity. Additional inputs such as calls of bond principal by the issuer are considered in the estimate of fair value. To the extent the inputs are |
57
Rockefeller Funds
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
May 31, 2019 (Unaudited)
based on observable inputs, Municipal bonds would be categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; otherwise, they would be generally categorized as Level 3. | |
U.S. government notes/bonds are normally valued by a Pricing Service using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government notes/bonds are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. | |
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other financial instrument is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value 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 Funds are accurately priced. The Board of Trustees will regularly evaluate whether the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Funds and the quality of prices obtained by the Trust’s valuation committee. | |
The Funds have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which requires the Funds to classify their 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ investments carried at fair value as of May 31, 2019: |

The Funds measure Level 3 activity as of the end of the period. For the six months ended May 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 securities) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable. | |
The Funds did not invest in derivative securities or engage in hedging activities during the six months ended May 31, 2019. |
(b) | Federal Income Taxes |
The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to their 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 Funds will distribute net investment income at least quarterly, 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 Funds 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. |
(e) | Share Valuation |
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share. |
(f) | Expenses |
Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means. |
(g) | Other |
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine 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 Funds’ investments in 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 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 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 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. | |

At November 30, 2018, the Rockefeller Core Taxable Bond, Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt National Bond and Rockefeller Intermediate Tax Exempt New York Bond Funds had capital losses of $751,321, $109,075 and $129,998, respectively, remaining which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains.

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.

(10) | Regulatory Updates |
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in the ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. The ASU does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continues to be amortized to maturity. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on the Financial Statements. | |
In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has chosen to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures for the six months ended May 31, 2019. |

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 Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Information about Trustees
The business and affairs of the Trust are managed under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Information pertaining to the Trustees of the Trust is set forth below.
