Annual Shareholder Report | August 31, 2024 |
This annual shareholder report contains important information about the Column Small Cap Select Fund for the period of December 11, 2023 (inception date), to August 31, 2024. You can find additional information about the Fund at https://columnfunds.com/literature. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-866-950-4644.
WHAT WERE THE FUND COSTS FOR THE PERIOD? (based on a hypothetical $10,000 investment)

Fund Name | Costs of a $10,000 investment | Costs paid as a percentage of a $10,000 investment |
Column Small Cap Select Fund | $72* | 0.66% |
* | Amount shown reflects the expenses of the Fund from inception date through August 31, 2024. Expenses would be higher if the Fund had been in operations for the full year. |
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From its December 11, 2023 inception through August 31, 2024, the Column Small Cap Select Fund gained 19.20%, outperforming the 18.94% gain of the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the benchmark we believe best represents the market in which the Fund invests due to its focus on small U.S. companies. The Fund lagged the 23.44% return of its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, as large companies outperformed small companies. Due to the Fund’s initial small size early in the period, expenses detracted notably from returns, a temporary headwind that was resolved when the Fund saw significant net inflows starting in mid-January 2024.
Relative to the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the Fund’s stock selection across most sectors contributed to its outperformance during the period. Among the Fund’s sub-advisers, Driehaus Capital Management LLC was the largest contributor. In addition to benefiting from growth outperforming value, the Driehaus strategy was helped by strong stock selection—especially in industrials, health care, and information technology—and its exposure to the momentum risk factor, which outperformed other risk factors. Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers, LLC’s Small Cap Intrinsic Value strategy was the largest detractor due to both sector allocation—mainly an underweight to real estate and an overweight to information technology—and stock selection, where health care, consumer discretionary, and materials picks struggled.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From its December 11, 2023 inception through August 31, 2024, the Column Small Cap Fund gained 16.30%, underperforming the 18.94% return of the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, the benchmark index we believe best represents the market in which the Fund invests due to its focus on small U.S. companies.

Relative to the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, both the Fund’s stock selection, mainly in information technology, and sector allocation detracted from performance during the period. Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC’s Small Cap Growth strategy trailed other Fund sub-advisers’ returns primarily due to stock selection struggles in a relatively concentrated portfolio. Technology services company Endava Plc was the largest individual detractor for the strategy and the Fund, as the company faced headwinds that resulted in a decline in revenues. Despite growth beating value over this stretch, the Small Cap Value strategy run by Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (WPG Partners division) was the top sub-adviser contributor, driven by strong stock selection across most sectors.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
From its December 11, 2023 inception through August 31, 2024, the Column Mid Cap Select Fund returned 14.10%, underperforming the 17.63% return of the Russell Midcap Total Return Index, the benchmark index we believe best represents the market in which the Fund invests due to its focus on medium-sized U.S. companies. The Fund also lagged the 23.44% return of its broad-based benchmark index, the S&P 500 Total Return Index, as large companies outperformed medium-sized companies. Due to the Fund’s initial small size early in the period, expenses detracted notably from returns, a temporary headwind that was resolved when the Fund saw significant net inflows starting in mid-January 2024.
Relative to the Russell Midcap Total Return Index, the Fund’s stock selection was the primary detractor from performance, particularly in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors. Sector allocation had a neutral impact, as an underweight to utilities, a sector that surged on optimism surrounding the growth of artificial intelligence, offset the benefits of the overweight to the strong-performing financials and industrials sectors. Each of the Fund’s sub-advisers underperformed the Russell Midcap Total Return Index during the period. Kayne Anderson Rudnick Investment Management, LLC’s Mid Cap Core strategy was the largest detractor primarily due to stock selection struggles in a relatively concentrated portfolio. Frozen potato producer Lamb Weston Holdings, Inc. was the largest individual detractor for the strategy and the Fund, as the company faced operational challenges that lowered its near-term financial outlook.

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 Column Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the Column Small Cap Select Fund, the Column Small Cap Fund, the Column Mid Cap Select Fund, and the Column Mid Cap Fund, each representing a distinct, diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of each Fund is long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund commenced operations on December 11, 2023. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering were paid by Mason Street Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies”.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(a) Investment Valuation. Each equity security owned by a Fund, including depositary receipts, that is listed on a national securities exchange, except for portfolio securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (“NASDAQ”) is valued at its last sale price or official closing price on that exchange on the close of that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. If a security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will use the price on the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the most recent quoted bid at the close of the exchange on such day or the security shall be valued at the latest sales price on the “composite market” for the day such security is being valued. The composite market is defined as a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets as published by an approved independent pricing service (a “Pricing Service”).
Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at prices supplied by an approved Pricing Service. Where the price of a long-term debt security is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the bid price. When a Fund buys a when-issued, new issue or delayed delivery debt security and the security is not yet being traded or priced by a Pricing Service, the security will be valued at cost. Thereafter, the security will be valued at its market value or its fair value if the security has not commenced trading or is not priced by a Pricing Service for longer than five days. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity.
Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices.
Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the net asset values (“NAVs”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. All ETFs are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded.
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 NYSE, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Occasionally, events which affect the values of such securities may occur between the times at which the values are determined and the close of the New York Stock Exchange and will therefore not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, then these securities will be valued at fair value in good faith as determined by the Adviser in accordance with its fair valuation procedures. If on any business day a change in the value of the equity markets exceeds a certain threshold as determined by reference to a broad-based index, then each foreign equity security held by a Fund (other than those traded in countries outside of Canada, Mexico, Central and South America) will be valued at its fair value by using a value determined by an independent pricing agent rather than using the last closing price of such foreign security on its principal overseas market. A value determined by an independent pricing agent will also be used to fair value foreign securities held by a Fund on any day when a foreign market is closed due to a local holiday or other scheduled closure, but the New York Stock Exchange is open.
If market quotations are not readily available, a security or other asset will be valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser’s fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual fair value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that a Fund is accurately priced. The Adviser will regularly evaluate whether a Fund’s fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Fund and the quality of prices obtained through the application of such procedures.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurement” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for each class of investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 –
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 –
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
Level 3 –
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
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 each Fund’s investments carried at fair value as of August 31, 2024:

(b) Foreign Securities and Currency Translations. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. 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.

Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of a Fund’s investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of a Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
(c) Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and makes the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it of all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
As of and during the period ended August 31, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability 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 period ended August 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities.
(d) Distributions to Shareholders. The Funds will distribute any net investment income and any net realized long- or short-term capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. Income and capital gains distributions may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses by the Funds. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between the components of net assets. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
(e) Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(f) Share Valuation. The NAV per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading.
(g) Expenses. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
(h) Other. Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determines the gain or loss from investment transactions using the specific identification method for the best tax relief order by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income, less foreign withholding tax, is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received from a Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and return of capital, as applicable. For financial statement purposes, the Funds use estimates to

characterize these distributions received as return of capital, capital gains or ordinary income. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received for the security after its tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of a Fund. Changes to estimates will be recorded in the period they are known. The distributions received from REIT securities that have been classified as income and capital gains are included in dividend income and net realized gain on investments, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. The distributions received that are classified as return of capital reduced the cost of investments on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
(i) Derivative Instruments. As a non-principal investment strategy, the Funds may enter into forward currency contracts. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts are considered derivatives and the Adviser and sub-advisers intend to limit each Fund’s investments in forward currency contracts in order for each Fund to qualify as a limited derivatives user as defined in Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act. As of August 31, 2024, the fair value of derivative instruments in the Funds are described below:

Investments for federal income tax purposes in the above table include foreign currencies and derivatives. The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sale adjustments, PFIC mark-to-market adjustments, and forward contracts mark-to-market adjustments.
At August 31, 2024, the Funds had the following capital loss carryovers which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains:

| SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN |
The Trust has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan on behalf of the Funds to pay for shareholder support services from each Fund’s assets pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement at an annual rate not to exceed 0.10% of a Fund’s average daily net assets. Currently, the annual rate of shareholder servicing fee authorized for each Fund is up to 0.06% of the fund’s average daily net assets; however, the fee may be increased up to 0.10% of a Fund’s average daily net assets, at any time. Each Fund is responsible for paying a portion of shareholder servicing fees to each of the shareholder servicing agents who have written shareholder servicing agreements with a Fund and perform shareholder servicing functions and maintenance of shareholder accounts on behalf of shareholders.

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At August 31, 2024, Pershing LLC, for the benefit of its customers, held 100% of each Fund’s shares outstanding. Pershing LLC is the financial intermediary used by Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Company’s advisory programs that offer the Funds’ shares.
The Funds and U.S. Bank, N.A. entered into an umbrella line of credit agreement in the amount of up to $100,000,000, which matures on August 2, 2025. This unsecured line of credit agreement is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions from the Funds. The maximum borrowing cannot exceed 20% of the gross market value or 33.33% of the net market value of a Fund’s unencumbered assets. Interest on amounts borrowed under the line of credit will be accrued at the prime rate. On February 2, 2024, the Column Mid Cap Fund made a draw on the line of credit in the amount of $111,000. The total amount was repaid on February 5, 2024. The interest charged at the prime rate of 8.50% amounted to $79, which was paid by a sub-adviser to the Column Mid Cap Fund. There were no other draws on the line of credit during the period ended August 31, 2024. Interest expense incurred for the period ended August 31, 2024 is disclosed in the Statement of Operations within Other Fees.
The Funds have evaluated events and transactions that have occurred subsequent to August 31, 2024 through the date the financial statements were issued and determined there were no subsequent events that would require disclosure in the financial statements.
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, and significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East. 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.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2023.
