CONVERGENCE LONG/SHORT EQUITY ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2024 (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 Convergence Long/Short Equity ETF (the “Fund”) represents a distinct diversified series with its own investment objective, and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital growth. The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value.
Effective February 18, 2022, the Fund converted from a mutual fund to an ETF, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares (with an exception for fractional mutual fund shares). The costs of the reorganization were borne by the Fund’s investment adviser, Convergence Investment Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”). The reorganization did not result in a material change to the investment portfolio. The mutual fund offered Institutional Class shares and commenced operations on December 29, 2009. The following table illustrates the specifics of the reorganization of the mutual fund into the ETF:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| $26,419,556 | | | 1,707,329 | | | $ — | | | $26,419,556 | | | Non-Taxable | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
*
| Includes accumulated net investment losses, accumulated realized gains and unrealized appreciation in the amounts of $(86,871), $2,453,571, and $8,049,316, respectively. |
The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”
(2) Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(a)
| Investment Valuation. Each security owned by the Fund, including long and short positions of common stock and real estate investment trusts, that is listed on a securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded. |
Fund 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 shall be valued at, (i) the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices at the close of the exchange on such day or (ii) the last 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 over-the-counter markets, as published by an approved independent pricing service (“Pricing Service”).
Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by a Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and

CONVERGENCE LONG/SHORT EQUITY ETF
Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)
the asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. If a price is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation obtained from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the mean between the bid and the offer. In the absence of available quotations, the securities will be priced at fair value, as described below. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity.
Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market mutual funds are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. If, on a particular day, a share of an investment company is not listed on NASDAQ, such security’s fair value will be determined as described below.
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser’s fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual fair market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Fund is accurately priced.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for each class of investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments carried at fair value as of May 31, 2024:

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the six months ended May 31, 2024.
Except for securities sold short, the Fund did not engage in any derivative securities or engage in hedging activities during the six months ended May 31, 2024.
(b)
| Short Positions. The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short positions. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of the securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which could differ from the amount reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund is liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as a dividend expense, and interest expense is accrued daily. As collateral for its short positions, the Fund is required to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. The segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 2a above. The amount of segregated assets is required to be adjusted daily to the extent additional collateral is required based on the change in fair value of the securities sold short. The Fund’s securities sold short and deposits for short sales are held with one major securities broker-dealer. The Fund does not require this broker-dealer to maintain collateral in support of the receivable for proceeds on securities sold short. |
In accordance with the terms of its prime brokerage agreements with broker-dealers, the Fund may receive rebate income or be charged a fee for borrowed securities. Such income or fee is calculated on a daily basis based upon the market value of each borrowed security and a variable rate that is dependent upon the availability of such security. The Fund records these prime broker charges on a net basis as interest income or interest expense. During the current fiscal period the Fund has net income of $410,080 on borrowed securities which is reflected in prime broker interest income on the Statement of Operations.
Rule 18f-4 imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treats derivatives as senior securities and requires funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Effective August 19, 2022, the Fund has adopted a Full Derivatives Fund Program and the Adviser has nominated a Derivatives Risk Manager.

(c)
| Federal Income Taxes. The Fund complies with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and makes 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. |
As of and during the year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended November 30, 2023, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund’s tax returns for the prior three tax years remain subject to examinations by the Fund’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the Untied States of America and the state of Delaware.
(d)
| Distributions to Shareholders. The Fund will distribute any net investment income and any net capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short- term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. |
(e)
| Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
(f)
| Share Valuation. The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the fair 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 Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The Fund does not charge a redemption fee, and therefore the offering and redemption price per share are equal to the Fund’s NAV per share. |
(g)
| Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means. |
(h)
| Other. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss from investment transactions on the identified cost basis by comparing original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income and expense is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividend income from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) is recognized on the ex-date and included in dividend income. The calendar year-end classification of distributions received from REITs during the fiscal year are reported subsequent to year end; accordingly, the Fund estimates the character of REIT distributions based on the most recent information available and adjusts for actual classifications in the calendar year the information is reported. |
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, net of any reclaims, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

(3) Federal Tax Matters
The tax character of distributions paid by the Fund during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2023 and November 30, 2022 was as follows:
| | | | |
Ordinary Income | | | $194,639 | | | $2,017,958 | |
Long-Term Capital Gain | | | $— | | | $2,701,201 | |
| | | | | | | |
As of November 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Cost basis of investments for federal income tax purposes(1) | | | $17,769,691 | |
Gross tax unrealized appreciation | | | $5,974,707 | |
Gross tax unrealized depreciation | | | (1,383,377) | |
Net tax unrealized appreciation | | | 4,591,330 | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | | 316,173 | |
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | | — | |
Total distributable earnings | | | 316,173 | |
Other accumulated losses | | | (1,479,384) | |
Total distributable earnings | | | $3,428,119 | |
| | | | |
(1)
| Includes securities sold short. |
The tax basis of distributable earnings for tax and financial reporting purposes differs principally due to the deferral of losses on wash sales.
At November 30, 2023, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryovers of $1,454,394.
Income and capital gains distributions may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses, and tax equalization by the Fund. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted. Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are due to redemptions in-kind and excise tax expense have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. For the year ended November 30, 2023, the following table shows the reclassifications made:
| | | | |
Paid-in capital | | | $3,957,678 | |
Total distributable earnings | | | $(3,957,678) | |
| | | | |
(4) Investment Adviser
The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2024, under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund compensated the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

(5) Related Party Transactions
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”), acts as the Fund’s administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. Fund Services also serves as the fund accountant and transfer agent to the Fund. U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Fund’s custodian. The Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer is also an employee of Fund Services. Fees incurred for these services are paid by the Adviser.
Certain officers of the Fund are also employees of Fund Services. A Trustee of the Trust is affiliated with Fund Services and U.S. Bank.
(6) Capital Share Transactions

(7) Investment Transactions
The aggregate purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and securities sold short), creations in-kind and redemptions in-kind for the Fund for the six months ended May 31, 2024 is summarized below. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. government securities for the Fund.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| $95,297,222 | | | $92,944,012 | | | $82,453,948 | | | $13,216,772 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
(8) Creation and Redemption Transactions
Shares of the Fund are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the “Exchange”). The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” A Creation Unit generally consists of 10,000 shares. 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 Fund’s total assets minus the Fund’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 Fund. 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 Fund. 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. 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 Fund 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, non-standard orders, or partial purchase of Creation Units. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes) involved with buying the securities with cash. The Fund 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 Fund shareholders.
A creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the Fund and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of the Fund will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the Fund’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 Fund 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 Fund for losses, if any.
(9) Recent Market Events
U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine, significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on your account.
(10) Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the Fund’s related events and transactions that occurred subsequent to May 31, 2024, through the date of issuance of the Fund’s financial statements. Management has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
