CrossingBridge Funds Q1 2023 Commentary
Tide Pools
The Fed Funds Rate has risen from practically zero to almost 5% as a result of central bankers’ mission1 to quell inflation and wring out excess liquidity. Speculators and borrowers dependent on nearly “free” money, have been left high and dry. The tide has gone out.
MBR Partners Inc© The Fallout from a Higher Cost of CapitalA
As a paid-up subscriber to MRB Partners’ investment strategy serviceB, we felt their illustration of “the fallout from higher cost of capital” above was apropos. Asset values have fallen, and capital costs have risen, leaving mark-to-market losses for many investments. Prudent asset/liability management2 will determine whether these losses are

2 | Asset/liability management is the process of matching asset holding periods and cash flow streams with future expenses and financing. Often, a mismatch occurs for various reasons. Banks usually borrow short term, via deposits, and lend long via mortgages and other types of loans, creating an inherent mismatch of assets and liabilities. |
realized. Investors that need to liquidate will suffer permanent impairments.3 Borrowers that can refinance their debt as it comes due will survive, but their future earnings will be significantly impacted. Those that can’t refinance will need to restructure – the modern version of “debtors’ prison”. The quick fix would be for interest rates to be driven back down to their historic lows of the last few years, but this would encourage investors’ animal spirits4 and may reignite inflation, restarting the vicious cycle.
We are primarily bottom-up value investors but cannot ignore macro factors. Although we do not share the same level of concern as “Mr. Market” with respect to an immediate distressed credit cycle or deep recession, we are focused on the next domino that is falling – commercial real estate (CRE).5 We believe a significant factor in determining the CRE outcome, both in speed and severity, will be market liquidity and lenders’ willingness to “amend and extend”. Ultimately, the sheer size of CRE may require government intervention similar to the RTC6 established to deal with the S&L crisis of the 1980s.
Companies need low-cost capital like fish need water to breath.
US Treasury CurveC
Over the past three years, companies took advantage of low interest rates with aggressive borrowing, refinancing and/or acquisitions. In addition, the steep yield curve between short- and long-term rates encouraged floating rate financings (often requiring interest rate

caps or swaps to be purchased7) over fixed rate debt. Fast forward to today, there is a looming wall of interest rate repricing as maturities approach and the interest rate hedging for floating rate liabilities begin to expire. For example, the graph above suggests that refinancing a three-year bond that was issued in 1Q21 with a new three-year bond will cost an additional 346 bp (assuming no widening in credit spreads8). Similarly, refinancing a floating rate loan, the interest rate for which was based on LIBOR9 plus a credit spread, will also be significantly more costly.D In addition, the amount of debt that may be incurred by a borrower is often limited in the credit markets based on the interest coverage ratio (ICR) reflecting the ability to service the debt. Higher interest rates reduce the ICR, in turn, reducing the acceptable amount of debt. In a higher interest rate environment, the value of the underlying asset (assuming cash flow remained static) will have also declined. Thus, equity holders will absorb the decline in asset value and any portion of the debt that cannot be refinanced. Without enough equity cushion underneath the debt and no new sources of capital, lenders may also suffer losses. The rise in rates reveals the unsteady underpinnings of capital structures premised on interest rates remaining low.
CRE: Change in Rates vs Valuation and Credit QualityE
The table above is an illustration showing the reduction in equity value and credit quality resulting from a rise in interest rates and/or credit spread as applied to a hypothetical CRE investment. The increase in rates causes both the cap rate10 and the cost of financing to rise. Assuming a constant 60% loan-to-value, valuation and permitted borrowing capacity

A property with a cap rate of 5% and net operating income of $1.0 million would have a value of $20.0 million (i.e. $1.0 million divided by 5%). The cap rate is a valuation metric used in the real estate market that is comparable to the P/E ratio (i.e. inverse of the annual yield on equity) and the EBITDA multiple (i.e. number of years of EBITDA earnings to equal enterprise value, implying an earnings yield) in the corporate equity market. |
decline. Assuming a constant credit spread, highly unlikely in today’s environment, the debt service coverage ratio deteriorates. As the table above illustrates, a 400 bp rise in coupon would completely wipe out the equity while the debt would lose 40% of its value.
Wall of WorryF
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000898531-23-000242/cbf-ltrchart5.jpg)
We expect CRE will become the “poster child” for the devaluation and decline in credit quality throughout all of fixed income. Notably, these problems are being compounded by the fact that more than $1.4 trillion of the commercial and non-agency multi-family real estate debt, nearly one-third of the market, faces the prospect of refinancing 2023-25 maturities in a much higher rate environment. In many instances, real estate investors will need to put up additional capital, successfully restructure their debt or “hand over the keys” to lenders. Post-COVID, office properties are most at risk due to the shift to hybrid/remote work. In February 2023, Brookfield Asset Management walked away from $784 million in loans on two trophy Los Angeles office towersG and, in March 2023, Blackstone defaulted on a €531 million bond backed by European offices and stores.H This is not just a U.S. problem, but a world-wide problem. For a sense of scale, the US Core CRE market is nearly as large as the entire U.S. high yield and leveraged loan market.
Another domino we are carefully watching is the corporate credit market. High yield, leverage loan and investment grade corporate issuers have debt maturing within the next three years representing 16%, 19% and 24%, respectively, of total outstanding. The maturity wall is clearly less severe. Yet, a similar effect is occurring; issuers are feeling pressure as their interest cost rises. For borrowers with high leverage, an inability to refinance at acceptable rates may lead to restructurings.
The outgoing tide exposes rotting foundations.
The banking crisis observed over the last several weeks is far different from the S&L crisis (1989-95) and the Great Financial Crisis (2008). Those crises were rooted in fundamentally bad underwriting and the behavior of aggressive lenders taking advantage of lenient banking rules and lax regulatory oversight. The current crisis results from banks doing what banks do – borrowing short-term to lend long-term. This asset/liability mismatch is one of the “dirty little secrets” of banking that investors, depositors, and
regulators have come to live with. In a rapidly rising rate environment, however, this portfolio management strategy holds two primary dangers that led to the failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and have raised concerns about other banks. First, as interest rates rose, depositors began to withdraw their funds to reinvest in money market funds and other instruments that paid a higher rate. From the end of 1Q22 through year-end 2022, SVB’s deposits declined by $25 billion or 13%.I Second, the rise in interest rates caused the market value of government and mortgage-backed securities in which it had invested to decline. Although these securities were in all likelihood “money good”11 if held to maturity, SVB chose to raise cash in order to meet depositor withdrawals by selling these securities, crystalizing mark-to-market losses. Thus, the rise in rates both precipitated the need to raise cash and the losses in their bond portfolio, ultimately leading to a “run on the bank”. These events have led to increased scrutiny of regional banks and only time will tell how this plays out, but we are sanguine (not so much with respect to the “shadow” banking system12, a conversation for another time).
NY Fed’s Corporate Bond Market DistressJ
(1 = most distressed)
Each distress cycle is unique, finding its focal point depending on the specific circumstances: excess valuation, aggressive lending, industry-specific factors, or over-investment. Sometimes they are precipitated by a recession, war, or a failure in confidence. In most cases, liquidity drying up was a precursor. The severity and length of the distress cycle is highly dependent on the response of the capital markets and return of liquidity. Similar to falling dominos, distress in one asset class can easily lead

Examples of these entities include private credit funds, money market funds, structured investment vehicles (SIVs) and limited purpose finance companies. |
to distress in others as capital migrates to the best opportunities. The increasing distress in the commercial real estate market may drive prices down and yields up in the corporate credit market. The level of corporate bond market stress is not unusually high at this time, albeit elevated from the recent period of cheap money.
U.S. Leveraged LoansK
(Net Leverage and Interest Coverage)
The below-investment grade corporate debt market, as reflected in the credit fundamentals for leveraged loans is in reasonable shape. Net leverage, on average, is about 3.6x EBITDA and interest coverage is very strong at 4.8x. Note that the interest coverage ratio incorporates the rise in interest rates as these instruments typically have floating rate coupons.
Implied Overnight Rate & Number of Hikes/CutsL
In prior letters we have discussed the opportunities we were seeing in floating rate debt. Floating rate debt has two components to its coupon, a base rate that typically resets monthly or quarterly and a fixed credit spread. For example, a loan might have coupon that is SOFR + 450 bp payable quarterly in which SOFR will adjust every three months and was 4.87% on March 31, 2023. Adding the 450 bp credit spread results in an effective coupon of 9.37%. However, the computation for yield to maturity in comparison to a fixed coupon bond is based off a forward curve predicting future SOFR rates. The chart above implies that the Fed Funds Rate will decline by 52 bp to 4.35% by December 2023 which would restrike the effective coupon to 8.85%. If the implied rate declines are smaller or take longer, the loan will earn yield in excess of expectations – a windfall for the investor.
Total Floating Rate Exposure
![](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000898531-23-000242/cbf-ltrchart9.jpg)
The portion of floating rate debt in our portfolios remains elevated. We continue to believe that rates will remain higher for longer barring systemic risk. Hence, our floating rate debt exposure should allow us to capture the benefit of the market’s forward curve mispricing. This is extra cushion and yield if we are correct. An example of a fine credit in which we believe the floating rate debt offers better risk-adjusted return than the fixed rate bonds is Getty Images, Inc. (“Getty”).M The company’s first lien term loan, with a coupon equal to the 3-month Treasury rate plus 450 bp and due 2026, has a current effective coupon of 9.46%. This compares to Getty’s unsecured bond due 2027 which has a coupon of 9.75%. At quarter-end, both the bond and the loan traded around par.N Assuming that the three-month Treasury rate does not change, the secured loan will have a yield similar to the unsecured bond but resides higher in the capital structure providing better credit protection. Granted, if rates fall, the yield on the loan will decline while the bond would likely appreciate, but the level of appreciation will be limited because the bond may be redeemed by the company prior to maturity allowing Getty a benefit similar to a homeowner refinancing their mortgage at a lower rate. In the case of the bond or the loan, we are quite comfortable with Getty’s credit profile, and we are mildly amused that an activist investorO is stirring the pot with the belief that the stock is worth nearly double its current market price.
There are good things to see in the tide pools and there are exciting and interesting thoughts to be generated from the seeing. – John Steinbeck
Infrabuild Australia Pty (INFRAB) 12.00% First Lien Notes due 10/1/24P – Infrabuild Australia Pty (“Infrabuild”) is Australia’s largest vertically integrated producer of steel “long product” (bars, beams, rebar) produced via electric arc furnaces and its second largest recycler of steel scrap. The company is wholly owned by GFG Alliance (“GFG”), a multinational producer of steel, aluminum, and renewable energy. GFG has been experiencing financial distress as a result of its borrowing relationship with Greensill (UK). However, Infrabuild is the “crown jewel” of GFG and, since it issued its bonds in 2019, has had no relationship with Greensill. Further, we became comfortable that GFG’s issues were unlikely to affect the Infrabuild bonds as they are secured by all of Infrabuild’s
Australian assets and the bond indenture contains strong covenants, limiting the ability of GFG to take out dividends or issue significant incremental debt that might negatively impact the credit. As a result of very strong performance in 2022, net leverage (net debt divided by EBITDA), based on the last 12 months ended December 31, 2022, is 0.70x. Should the company continue to perform as it has, cash flow from operations should be sufficient to repay the bonds. If cash flow reverts to the levels of 2019 and 2020, net leverage would only deteriorate to less than 2.5x. Infrabuild’s strong credit statistics, solid bondholder protections and the parent company’s desire to preserve value, led us to begin purchasing the bond in November of 2022 at 94.50 for a yield-to-maturity of 15.40%. Our comfort with the credit has grown through several phone calls with management and an in-person meeting with them in February, leading us to add to the position through numerous purchases, the last in February at 97, for a yield-to-maturity of 14.13%. The company is in the process of acquiring GFG’s North American steel operations at, in our opinion, a slightly elevated value. It is being financed with a new asset-based loan facility under terms similar to their prior ABL facility. Our bonds have a first lien on Infrabuild’s fixed assets and a second lien on the company’s inventory and receivables. In October 2023, the bonds become current obligations and we believe that the company will look to refinance them prior to maturity.
Talen Energy (TLN) Senior Secured Notes (7.25% due 2027, 6.625% due 2028, 7.625% due 2028)Q – Talen Energy Corporation (“Talen”), through its subsidiary, TES, is one of the largest competitive power generation and infrastructure companies in North America. TES owns and/or controls approximately 13,000 megawatts of generating capacity in wholesale U.S. power markets, principally in the Mid-Atlantic, Texas and Montana. On May 9, 2022, the company filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy with holders of 62% of unsecured bondholders backing a restructuring support agreement through which $1.4 bn of debt would be equitized, $3.2 bn of debt would be eliminated and certain bondholders committed to backstop a $1.65 bn equity rights offering. The proposed Plan of Reorganization (POR) provided for payment in full of the secured bonds including all pre-petition accrued interest and 40% of the call premium that would be due as of the POR’s effective date. The order approving the debtor-in-possession financing, providing cash to support the company during Chapter 11, also required the company to pay current interest, monthly, to the secured bondholders, subject to certain liquidity tests. Comfortable that the POR would be approved and that the secured bonds would be paid in full in cash by June 30, 2023, we began buying the bonds in October 2022 at yields to the expected exit date in the 8-10% range. The bankruptcy court confirmed the Plan of Reorganization (POR) on December 15, 2022, with the effective date subject to receipt of regulatory approval for the transfer of ownership to the unsecured bondholders. Since our initial purchases, we added to the position, most recently in March when we bought bonds yielding 9-10%. The company received its final regulatory approval on March 31, 2023, and is expected to exit bankruptcy, after completion of its exit financing, by mid-May 2023. Insofar as the time to exit will have been shorter than our expectation, the rate of return on the position is expected to be a bit higher than our initial estimates.

CrossingBridge mutual funds’ disclosure: mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Because the Funds may invest in ETFs and ETNs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s and ETN’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 in which they trade, which may impact a fund’s ability to sell its shares. The value of ETN’s may be influenced by the level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity. The Funds may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in asset backed, mortgage backed, and collateralized 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 developments. 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 regulations. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the nav per share. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the fund will ever decrease or that when the fund seeks to sell shares of a closed-end fund it can receive the nav of those shares. There are greater risks involved in investing in securities with limited market liquidity.
CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF disclosure: investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The fund invests in equity securities and warrants of SPACs. Pre-combination SPACs have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking combinations, and the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable combination. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the fund invests will complete a combination or that any combination that is completed
will be profitable. Unless and until a combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. Government securities, money market securities, and cash. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a combination. Some SPACs may pursue combinations only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. The fund may invest in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S., including, but not limited to, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Virgin Islands. Investments in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S. May involve risks not generally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. SPACs, such as risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. And foreign regulatory requirements and market practices. Further, tax treatment may differ from U.S. SPACs and securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Smaller capitalization SPACs will have a more limited pool of companies with which they can pursue a business combination relative to larger capitalization companies. That may make it more difficult for a small capitalization SPAC to consummate a business combination. Because the fund is non-diversified it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the fund held a more diversified portfolio.

Debtor-in-Possession (DIP) financing is a special kind of financing meant for companies that are in bankruptcy. Only companies that have filed for bankruptcy protection under chapter 11 are allowed to access dip financing, which usually happens at the start of a filing. Dip financing is used to facilitate the reorganization of a Debtor-in-Possession (the status of a company that has filed for bankruptcy) by allowing it to raise capital to fund its operations as its bankruptcy case runs its course.

The SEC Yield is a standard yield calculation developed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that allows for fairer comparisons of bond funds. It is based on the most recent 30-day period covered by the fund’s filings with the SEC. The yield figure reflects the dividends and interest earned during the period after the deduction of the fund’s expenses. It is also referred to as the “standardized yield.” Yield to Worst is the yield on the portfolio if all bonds are held to the worst date; Yield to Worst date is the date of lowest possible yield outcome for each security without a default.

For example, if a SPAC is trading at $9.70 and shareholders’ pro rata share of the trust account is $10.00/share, the SPAC has a gross spread of 3% (trading at a 3% discount). Yield to Liquidation: similar to a bond’s yield to maturity, SPACs have a yield to liquidation/redemption, which can be calculated using the gross spread and time to liquidation. Maturity: similar to a bond’s maturity date, SPAC also have a maturity, which is the defined time period in which they have to complete a business combination.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance and Analysis
CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund

The ICE BofA 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate Bond Index (C1A0) is a subset of the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate Bond Index including all securities with a remaining term to final maturity less than three years. The ICE BofA 0-3 Year U.S. Treasury Index (G1QA) tracks the performance of U.S. dollar denominated sovereign debt publicly issued by the U.S. government in its domestic market with maturities less than three years. Standard Deviation is a statistical measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. Duration is the weighted average of the present value of the cash flows and is used as a measure of a bond price’s response to changes in yield. Rising interest rates mean falling bond prices, while declining interest rates mean rising bond prices.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s and ETN’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 in which they trade, which may impact the Fund’s ability to sell the shares. The value of ETNs may be influenced by the level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity. The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and collateralized 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 developments. The Fund invests in equity securities and warrants of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). Pre-combination SPACs have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase negotiation or similar business combination (a “Combination”), and the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable Combination. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete a Combination or that any Combination that is completed will be profitable. Unless and until a Combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. government securities, money market securities, and cash. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial Combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a Combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a Combination. Some SPACs may pursue Combinations only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. The Fund may invest in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S., including, but not limited to, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Virgin Islands. Investments in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S. may involve risks not generally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. SPACs, such as risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices. Further, tax treatment may differ from U.S. SPACs and securities may be subject of foreign withholding taxes. Smaller capitalization SPACs will have a more limited pool of companies with which they can pursue a business combination relative to larger capitalization companies. That may make it more difficult for a small capitalization SPAC to consummate a business combination.

CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund
(Unaudited)
The 2022-2023 fiscal semi-annual period for the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund (CBRDX; the “Fund”) covers the six-month period of October 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023. During this period, the Fund gained 3.95% on its Institutional Class shares while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index gained 7.85%, the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate Index gained 7.10% and the ICE BofA 3-7 Year U.S. Treasury Index gained 3.86%.
Monthly investment results for the fiscal period ranged from -1.11% in March 2023 to 2.02% in January 2023. The Fund generated positive returns for five out of the six months during the fiscal period. The median monthly return for the period was 0.76% with an annualized standard deviation of 3.53%.
The total return for the period was higher. The Fund had positive contributions from interest income and had realized capital losses and unrealized gains during the period. The NAV decreased from $9.65 on September 30, 2022 to $9.47 on March 31, 2023, but the Fund distributed $0.55 during the period.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Fund is non-diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, therefore allowing the fund to be more concentrated than a diversified fund. Because the Fund is non-diversified it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. Current fund statistics may not be indicative of future positioning.

CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Expense Example
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund and CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, shareholder servicing plan fees and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Fund’s shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Fund. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the respective period disclosed in the following table and held for the entire respective period disclosed in the following table.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each Fund. 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 under each Fund in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 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 table 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.

CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2023 (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 CrossingBridge Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, the CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund (collectively, the “Mutual Funds”) and the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF (the “ETF”), each representing a distinct diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust. |
| |
| The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund is to seek high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund is to seek high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund is to offer a higher yield than cash instruments while maintaining a low duration. |
| |
| The CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund commenced investment operations on February 1, 2018. The Fund has registered both an Investor Class and Institutional Class of shares. As of March 31, 2023, only the Institutional Class was operational. Both the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund and CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund commenced investment operations on June 30, 2021. Both Funds registered only an Institutional Class of shares. |
| |
| The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF is to provide total returns consistent with the preservation of capital. The ETF commenced investment operations on September 20, 2021. |
| |
| Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid by CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC (“the Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow 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 the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). |
| |
| (a) Investment Valuation |
| |
| Each security owned by a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange, including Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”), is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Bank loans are valued at prices supplied by an approved independent pricing service (“Pricing Service”), if available, and otherwise will be valued at the most recent bid quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, based on quotations or prices obtained from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue. |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

| If the security is listed on more than one exchange, a Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers 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, 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 mean between the most recent bid and asked prices 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 a 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 a 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, 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. |
| |
| Debt securities, including corporate bonds, bank loans, commercial paper, and short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by an approved 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. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity. |
| |
| SPAC Founders Shares, received as part of the initial public offering process, will be valued initially in line with the publicly traded warrants, which typically have no value prior to the warrants being separated from the SPAC common shares. Upon a de-SPAC transaction, the valuation of the Founders Shares may be updated to reflect more current circumstances and inputs, including the value of the publicly traded warrants or the value of the publicly traded common shares, and may include a discount to reflect any restrictions associated with the Founders Shares. |
| |
| Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the NAVs of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. All exchange-traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. |

| 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 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 a Fund is accurately priced. The Adviser 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 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 disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: |
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted 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). |

| |
| To the extent the significant inputs are unobservable, the values generally would be categorized as Level 3 and “fair value” will be applied. Specifically, the matrix below provides a summary of the approach taken: |
| Type of Security | Examples of Inputs |
| Convertible Securities | Primarily based on financial analysis employing quantitative and |
| | qualitative inputs such as but may not be limited to: discounted |
| | cashflow, sum-of-the parts, competitive comparable valuations, |
| | and liquidation analysis |
| | |
| Special Purpose Acquisition | Upon separation, value based on public warrant pricing. Prior to |
| Companies (SPACs); | separation, valued at $0 |
| SPAC founders shares | |
| | |
| Common Stock | The firm applies a 25% discount to current market price for |
| (Legended shares) | common stock with a legend attached to it. |
| (b) Foreign Securities and Currency Transactions |
| |
| 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. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of portfolio securities and sales and maturities of short-term securities are reported within realized gain (loss) on investments. 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. |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
| 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 |
| |
| The Funds intend to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided. |
| |
| As of and during the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Funds did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax periods since the commencement of operations. |
| |
| (d) Distributions to Shareholders |
| |
| In general, the Mutual Funds will distribute any net investment income monthly and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The ETF will distribute any net investment income annually and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The Funds may make additional distributions if deemed to be desirable during the year. 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. |
| |
| Treatment of income and capital gain distributions for federal income tax purposes may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income and gains and losses by the Funds. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, they are reclassified in the components of net assets. |
| |
| (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 |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
| 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) Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses |
| |
| Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of a Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Shareholder servicing fees are currently expensed up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of each Mutual Fund’s Institutional Class shares. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the Mutual 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. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, net of any reclaims, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Any discount or premium on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. |
| |
| (i) Loan Participation |
| |
| When purchasing participation interests in a loan, a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. A Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation agreement, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying |

| line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. |
| |
| (j) Derivatives |
| |
| The Funds may utilize derivative instruments such as options, swaps, futures, forward contracts and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and limitations. The use of derivatives may involve additional investment risks, including counterparty credit risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund may experience delay in obtaining financial recovery in the event a counterparty experiences financial difficulty. To mitigate this risk, the Adviser will seek to effect derivative transactions with only counterparties that they believe are creditworthy. |
| |
| The Funds have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2023, the monthly average quantity and notional value of derivatives are described below: |

| be phased out on June 30, 2023. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Funds and the financial markets generally. The Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) has been selected by a committee established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to replace LIBOR as a reference rate in the United States. Other countries have undertaken similar initiatives to identify replacement reference rates in their respective markets. The transition from LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets, including increased volatility and illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates and a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments. The transition to an alternative interest rate may not be orderly, may occur over various time periods or may have unintended consequences. |

No reclassifications were made for any other Fund for permanent tax differences. |

(4) | Investment Adviser |
| |
| The Trust has an investment advisory agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Mutual Funds. Under the terms of this agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Mutual Funds, compensates the Adviser for its investment advisory services at the annual rate of 0.65% of each Mutual Fund’s respective average daily net assets. |
| |
| In addition, pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the ETF, and the Adviser, the Adviser is responsible for managing the ETF in accordance with its investment objective. For the services it provides the ETF, the ETF pays the Adviser a unified management fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the ETF’s average daily net assets. Under this agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the ETF except interest charges on any borrowings, dividends, and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, distribution fees and expenses paid by the ETF under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and the unified management fee payable to the Adviser. |
| |
| |
| With respect to the Mutual Funds, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse a Fund’s other expenses at least through January 31, 2024 to the extent necessary to ensure that a Fund’s total operating expenses (exclusive of front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, distribution (12b-1) fees, shareholder servicing plan fees, taxes, leverage (i.e., any expense incurred in connection with borrowings made by a Fund), interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividends or interest expenses on short positions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary items) (the “Expense Limitation Cap”) does not exceed 0.80% of each Mutual Fund’s respective average daily net assets. |
| |
| Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Adviser to recoup amounts waived or reimbursed within three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed, subject to the operating expense limitation agreement, if such reimbursement will not cause a Mutual Fund’s expense ratio, after recoupment has been taken into account, to exceed the lesser of: (1) the Expense Limitation Cap in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment; or (2) the Expense Limitation Cap in place at the time of the recoupment. During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the Adviser recouped $23,023 of previously waived management fees or reimbursed expenses in the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund. The following table shows the remaining waived management fees and reimbursed expenses for the Mutual Funds subject to potential recovery expiring: |

(5) | Distribution and Shareholder Servicing Plans |
| |
| The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), on behalf of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, which authorizes the Fund to pay Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) a distribution fee of 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class shares for services to prospective Fund shareholders and distribution of Fund shares. The Fund incurred no fees pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan during the six months ended March 31, 2023 as the Investor Class was not operational during the period. |
| |
| The Mutual Funds have adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan to pay for shareholder support services from the applicable Fund’s assets pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement in an amount not to exceed 0.15% of the applicable Fund’s average daily net assets. Currently, the shareholder servicing fee authorized for each Mutual Fund is up to 0.10%; however, the fee may be increased up to 0.15% of a Fund’s daily net assets, at any time. Each Mutual 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 the Fund, and perform shareholder servicing functions and maintenance of shareholder accounts on behalf of shareholders. The following table details the fees incurred for Institutional Class shares for the Mutual Funds pursuant to the Shareholder Servicing Plan during the six months ended March 31, 2023, as well as the fees owed as of March 31, 2023. |

(8) | Creation and Redemption Transactions |
| |
| Shares of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”). The ETF issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of the Fund will be equal to the ETF’s total assets minus the ETF’s total liabilities divided by the total number of shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places. |
| |
| Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the ETF. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the ETF. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption. |
| |
| Creation Unit Transaction Fee |
| |
| Authorized Participants will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance of Creation Units. |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2023 (Unaudited)
| The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee for the ETF is $300. |
| |
| An additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for cash purchases, nonstandard orders, or partial purchase of Creation Units. For orders comprised entirely of cash, a variable fee of 0.03% of the value of the order will be charged by the ETF. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes) involved with buying the securities with cash. The ETF may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of ETF shareholders. |
| |
| A creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the ETF and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of the ETF will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the ETF’s deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If the ETF or its agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and the authorized participant shall be liable to the ETF for losses, if any. |
| |

| CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF | | | 45,097,193 | | | | 53,061,423 | |

(10) | Beneficial Ownership |

(11) | Line of Credit |
| |
| The CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund and CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund (“Borrowing Funds”) and U.S. Bank, N.A. have entered into an umbrella line of credit agreement in the amount of up to $60,000,000, which matures on August 5, 2023. The line of credit agreement is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions from the Borrowing Funds. Interest on amounts borrowed under the line of credit will be accrued at the prime rate. |
| |
| During the six months ended March 31, 2023, the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund and CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund did not utilize the line of credit. On March 14, 2023, the CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund borrowed $95,000 on the line of credit. Interest was accrued at the prime rate of 7.75%, which amounted to $20 of interest expense as reported on the Statement of Operations. |

(12) | Subsequent Events |

These amounts were yet to be determined as of the release date of this report. |
| |
(13) | Recent Market Events |
| |
| U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic, uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, trade tensions, and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. The recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates and may last for a prolonged 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. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. |
