MAIRS AND POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY
August 14, 2012
First Half Results
Although the stock market gave up some of its first quarter gains in the second quarter, the first half of 2012, as a whole, was relatively strong by almost any measure. The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index benchmark produced a first half return of 9.49% despite experiencing a negative return of -2.75% in the second quarter.
The second quarter weakness was a direct result of slowing economic growth and less favorable corporate profit comparisons. However, it should be noted that some of the weakness in corporate profits can be attributed to dollar strength and resulting negative currency adjustments for those companies with significant foreign operations, especially in Europe. Recently reported second quarter real Gross Domestic Product figures showed a disappointing 1.5% (preliminary basis) gain, down from a 1.9% increase in the first quarter. While consumer spending continued to show improvement, overall figures reflected declines in business and government outlays. Additional concerns weighing on investors' minds included European economic and financial problems, Middle East political uncertainties and a slowing growth rate in China.
During the period, interest rates continued to be at or near historic lows with the Federal Reserve aggressively attempting to stimulate economic growth with nearly every tool at its disposal. In this regard, low interest rates are believed to have been a major factor responsible for the strength in the stock market even in the face of significant future uncertainties.
Future Outlook
Despite an unusual number of major uncertainties looming in the months ahead, we remain positive on the market outlook beyond the Fall elections. This is primarily based on reasonable valuation levels (13x estimated coming twelve month earnings for the S&P 500 per Mairs and Power analysis) along with the likelihood of a continuing historically low level of interest rates with growing liquidity in the hands of most investors. However, investors should also be prepared for the possibility of above average volatility given the number and magnitude of economic and political problems both here and abroad.
While we share those concerns of individuals worried about such problems as the growing Federal deficit, the "Fiscal Cliff" being faced with the year end expiration of the Bush tax cuts, and the possibility of a recession next year, we believe some accommodation will be reached on many of these issues regardless of who wins the upcoming election.
While Mairs and Power will continue to focus on a longer term investment strategy and will resist the temptation to make shorter term market moves, this should not prevent us from making changes in our views if our assessment of future risks dictates such a change.

MAIRS AND POWER GROWTH FUND
To Our Shareholders:
Benefiting from a relatively strong overall stock market environment, the Growth Fund performed quite well during the first half of 2012. Despite showing some weakness in the second quarter, the Fund turned in a first half investment return of 11.61% compared to a lesser return of 9.49% for the benchmark Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index. The Fund did even better when compared to its peers as measured by the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index which produced a lower 7.44% return.
The Fund's first half performance was helped greatly by a minimal exposure to the energy sector which was the worst performing industry group during the period. Conversely, the Fund benefited from a somewhat above average showing by the health care sector, the Fund's largest sector weighting. Finally, the Fund was the beneficiary of a number of strong performances by individual holdings including MEDTOX Scientific (+91.89%), Cray (+86.71%), Stratasys (+62.94%), Valspar (+34.69%) and H. B. Fuller (+32.84%). The poorest performing issues included Daktronics (-27.80%), C. H. Robinson (-16.12%), Western Union (-7.78%), Fastenal (-7.57%) and NVE Corporation (-3.21%).

All investments have risks. The Growth Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than United States corporations.

MAIRS AND POWER BALANCED FUND
To Our Shareholders:
The Balanced Fund produced a relatively strong showing during the first half of 2012 mainly because of the strength shown by the stock portion of the portfolio. However, bonds also did fairly well because of a narrowing of interest rate spreads which favored corporates relative to U. S. Treasuries and Federal Agencies. The Fund delivered an overall investment return of 8.50% compared to a lower 6.86% return for its benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Stock Index and 40% Barclays Capital Gov't/Credit Bond Index). The Fund also outperformed the Lipper Balanced Funds Index, a peer group measurement, which came in with a 5.74% return for the same period.
On the equity side of the portfolio, performance benefited from an above average weighting in both the financial and health care sectors which were among the best performing groups during the period. Representation in poorer performing sectors such as basic industries, capital goods, energy and utilities was more average to below average. The best performing equity issues included Bank of America (+47.12%), Ingersoll-Rand (+38.43%), Valspar (+34.69%), H.B. Fuller (+32.84%) and Home Depot (+26.05%). The poorest performing issues included SUPERVALU (-36.21%), Murphy Oil (-9.78%) BP, p.l.c. (-5.15%), Schlumberger, Ltd. (-4.98%) and General Mills (-4.63%).

MAIRS AND POWER SMALL CAP FUND
To Our Shareholders:
The Small Cap Fund performed very well in the first half of the year, benefiting from a fairly strong market environment. The Fund delivered a first half return of 17.66% compared to an 7.98% return for its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's Small Cap 600 Index. The Fund also outperformed its peers in the period as the Lipper Small Cap Core Funds Index was up 6.24%.
Stock selection drove performance in the first half as sector weights, such as an overweight in the underperforming industrial sector, appeared to be a slight drag on relative performance. Underweights in the outperforming consumer discretionary sector and financials sector also were slight detractors from relative performance in the first half.
Conversely, Fund performance benefited greatly from individual stock selection with MEDTOX Scientific (+91.89%), Cray (+86.71%), and Stratasys (+62.94%) all showing out-sized gains. The poorest performing stocks in the first half included Superior Energy Services (-28.87%), Daktronics (-27.80%), and Oasis Petroleum (-16.88%). New additions to the Fund in the quarter included Deluxe Corp., a check printing and small business services company; Proto Labs, a rapid prototype manufacturer; and MDU Resources, a North Dakota based diversified utility company.

The summary prospectuses or full prospectuses contain this and other important information about the each Fund, and they may be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 304-7404, or visiting www.mairsandpower.com.

All investments have risks. The Small Cap Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations, the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than United States corporations. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings by small cap companies, which can involve greater risks than investments in companies which are already publicly traded.
Lipper Small Cap Core Funds Index is an unmanaged index considered representative of small-cap core funds tracked by Lipper.
As of August 1, 2012, ALPS Distributors, Inc. will be the Distributor for the Mairs and Power Funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) June 30, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Mairs and Power Funds Trust (the Trust), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on May 10, 2011. The Trust is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) (the 1940 Act). The Mairs and Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), Mairs and Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund), and Mairs and Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (individually a Fund and collectively the Funds) are series within the Trust. The objective of the Growth Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which have the potential for above-average, long-term appreciation. The objectives of the Balanced Fund are to provide shareholders with regular current income, the potential for capital appreciation and a moderate level of risk by investing in a diversified portfolio including bonds, preferred stocks, common stocks, and other securities convertible into common stock. The objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average long-term appreciation. Effective August 11, 2011, the Small Cap Fund was added as a new series to the Trust. Effective January 1, 2012, the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund were added as new series to the Trust.
Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Security Valuations
Security valuations for the Funds' investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). Investments in equity securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price if readily available for such securities on each business day. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider overall market conditions and such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and ratings. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely used quotation system. When market quotations are not readily available, or where the last quoted sale price is not considered representative of the value of the security if it were to be sold on that day, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Committee appointed by the Board, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board. Factors that may be considered in determining the fair value of a security are fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the security, and the forces influencing the market in which the security is purchased or sold. As of June 30, 2012, no securities in the Funds were valued using this method.
Fair Valuation Measurements
The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
• Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
30
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) June 30, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The inputs or methodologies 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 net assets of each Fund as of June 30, 2012:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Level 1* | | $ | 2,240,652,577 | | | $ | 142,972,129 | | | $ | 16,206,165 | | |
Level 2** | | | - | | | | 75,396,233 | | | | - | | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total | | $ | 2,240,652,577 | | | $ | 218,368,362 | | | $ | 16,206,165 | | |
* All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks and preferred stocks) and short-term investments.
** All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities.
For detail of securities by major industry classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.
The Funds had no transfers between levels during the period and did not hold any Level 3 investments at either June 30, 2012 or December 31, 2011, therefore, a roll forward of Level 3 investments is not required.
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2011-04 modifying FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective by the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management evaluated the implications of this guidance and concluded the ASU has no impact on the Funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the date on which securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a "regulated investment company" as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), as amended. No provisions have been made for federal income taxes as it is the intention of each Fund to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of income and realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all excise and income taxes.
As of June 30, 2012, the Trust did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years, or all tax returns filed since commencement of operations for the Small Cap Fund.
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act) changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. Under the Act, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred. Additionally, capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
31
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) June 30, 2012
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Management evaluated the implications of this guidance and concluded the Act has no impact on the Funds. As of June 30, 2012, the Small Cap Fund had post-enactment short-term capital loss carryforwards equal to $582. As of June 30, 2012, the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund did not have any post-enactment capital loss carryforwards.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated recognition or disclosures.
Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions
Investment Management and Fund Administration Fees
Mairs and Power, Inc. (the Adviser) provides investment management and fund administration services to the Funds under written agreement (the Management Agreement) approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund* | |
Up to $2.5 Billion | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
Over $2.5 Billion | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
* The Adviser has agreed to waive the Small Cap Fund's investment management and fund administration fees and reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to prevent total annual fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other investment-related costs and other extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Small Cap Fund's business) from exceeding 1.25% of daily net assets through December 31, 2014. The Adviser cannot terminate this arrangement before that date without the agreement of the Board.
The fund administration fee paid to the Adviser is computed at an annual rate of 0.00281% of average daily net assets. Fund administration fees incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and fund administration fees payable to the Adviser as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Fund administration fees incurred | | $ | 30,427 | | | $ | 2,881 | | | $ | 119 | | |
Fund administration fees payable | | | 5,022 | | | | 488 | | | | 32 | | |
Pursuant to a sub-administration agreement between the Funds and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (USBFS), the Funds are charged a sub-administration fee paid to USBFS. Sub-administration fees from USBFS incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and sub-administration fees payable to USBFS as of June 30, 2012 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Sub-administration fees paid | | $ | 168,903 | | | $ | 11,515 | | | $ | 7,662 | | |
Sub-administration fees payable | | | 80,985 | | | | 7,129 | | | | 1,777 | | |

Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions (continued)
Trustees' Compensation
Trustees' compensation is paid to individuals who are disinterested trustees. No compensation is paid to the owners of the Adviser, including principal officers who are not trustees of the Fund and William B. Frels, who is an interested trustee and officer of the Trust.
Note 3 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust's maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions
Net investment income and net realized capital gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. The tax basis net realized gains (losses) for each Fund are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As a result, no reclassifications were made as of June 30, 2012.
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Due to the timing of the distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, were as follows:
Six months ended June 30, 2012 | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) June 30, 2012
Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions (continued)
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the tax cost basis adjustment due to receipt of return of capital distributions from certain investments.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Trust contains "no-load" mutual funds. As a result, shareholders pay no commissions, fees, or expenses associated with sales representatives or sales charges.
This 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 mutual funds. The table below reports the Funds' expenses during the period January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2012 and includes the costs associated with a $1,000 investment.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the tables below may be used to estimate the actual expenses you paid over the reporting period. You can do this by dividing your account value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the expense shown in the table below. For example, if your account value is $8,600, divided by $1,000 = $8.60. Multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period." By doing this you can estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expenses and assumed returns of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The results may be used to provide you with a basis for comparing the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the costs of investing in other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that these hypothetical examples may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period.

RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited)
The Funds' Board of Trustees (the Trustees) unanimously approved the Advisory Contract between the Mairs and Power Funds Trust (the Trust) and Mairs and Power, Inc. (the Manager) at the Funds' Board Meeting held on May 17, 2012.
The Mairs and Power Growth Fund, Mairs and Power Balanced Fund and Mairs and Power Small Cap Fund (each a Fund and collectively the Funds) are series within the Trust.
In preparation for the May 17, 2012 Board Meeting, the Manager provided the Trustees with extensive materials that are relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Contract. The independent Trustees discussed the materials and the proposed renewal of the Advisory Contract in a private session with legal counsel present, but with no representatives of the Manager being present. In reaching their decision to renew the Funds' Advisory Contract with the Manager, the Trustees considered all factors they believed to be relevant. Each of these factors and the conclusions reached by the Trustees with respect to these factors helped form the basis for the decision to renew the Advisory Contract with the Manager and will be discussed below.
Investment Performance
The Trustees considered the investment results for the Funds compared to those mutual funds with similar investment objectives as determined by Morningstar and to the Funds' respective performance benchmarks. In addition to the materials received by the Trustees before the May 17, 2012 Board Meeting, the Trustees receive detailed performance information at each regular Board Meeting during the year. At the May 17, 2012 Meeting, the Trustees reviewed the comparative performance information over 1, 3, 5 and 10 year periods ending with the quarter preceding the meeting. The Trustees noted that the Growth Fund's investment performance has been in the upper tier of Morningstar's peer group of mutual funds with similar investment objectives over all four of those time periods. The Growth Fund has also exceeded index performance over all of the four time periods. They noted that the Balanced Fund's investment performance also has been in the upper tier of Morningstar's peer group of mutual funds with similar investment
40
RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited) (continued)
objectives over all four of those time periods and has exceeded the composite benchmark (60% S&P 500 and 40% Barclays Capital Government/Credit) over three of the four time periods. Finally the Trustees noted that the Small Cap Fund's performance has been in the upper tier of Morningstar's peer group of mutual funds with similar investment objectives for the first quarter in 2012 and has exceeded its performance benchmark during that period. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that the Funds' investment performance has been satisfactory.
Management Fees
In evaluating the level of the management fees to be paid to the Manager, the Trustees considered both the level of the Funds' management fees and overall expenses compared to those of other similar mutual funds, as well as the quality and quantity of advisory and other services provided by the Manager. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid to the Manager by the Funds are either below or in line with the average fees for mutual fund managers generally, for Morningstar's respective peer group for each Fund and for groups of competitive funds identified by the Manager. Additionally, the Trustees noted that the Funds' total expense ratios are below or in line with the average total expense ratios of actively-managed funds in their Morningstar peer groups and for the groups of competitive funds identified by the Manager. The Trustees also considered the Manager's agreement to waive fees and reimburse the Small Cap Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014 to the extent necessary to limit the annual operating expenses of the Fund for each fiscal year, as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets, to 1.25%.
The Trustees then reviewed the fees the Manager charges its non-mutual fund advisory clients (Advisory Clients) with investment objectives similar to those of the Funds. The fee rates payable by the Manager's Advisory Clients range from being exactly the same as the fees paid by the Funds to being lower than the fees paid by the Funds (the Manager's larger Advisory Clients, many of which are institutional clients, fall into this latter category). The Manager provided the Trustees with information about the differences in the scope of services provided to its Advisory Clients compared with the scope of those it provides to the Funds. The level of investment decision-making is considerably higher with respect to the Funds, as cash flows result in purchases and sales decisions being made by the Manager for the Funds on most trading days of the year. Other differences include the fact that the Manager provides the Funds with office facilities and Fund Officers. Having considered all of these factors, the Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of services provided to the Funds merit higher management fees than those paid by the Manager's Advisory Clients.
With respect to the quality and extent of the Manager's services provided to the Funds, the solid investment performance records over the most recent 1, 3, 5, and 10 year periods for the Growth and Balanced Funds stands out, along with the Funds' "B" Morningstar rating for stewardship (most recent rating available). The Trustees also considered the performance of the Small Cap Fund since inception. Additionally, they took into account the Manager's on-going response to regulatory compliance requirements under Rule 38a-1, along with a satisfactory annual review of the Compliance Program which was completed on October 31, 2011 and presented to the Trustees at the December 16, 2011 Board Meeting. The Trustees concluded that overall they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by the Manager under the existing Advisory Contract. They further concluded that the Funds' management fees are fair and reasonable for the services provided and the risks assumed by the Manager.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Manager
At the request of the Trustees, the Manager provided profitability information for the most recent three calendar years. The information addressed the Manager's overall profitability and also broke it down between the Manager's advisory business and the Manager's mutual fund business. The profitability of the mutual fund business was further broken down among the Growth, Balanced and Small Cap Funds. The Trustees reviewed the Manager's assumptions and methods of allocation used. The Manager stated its belief that the methods of allocation used are reasonable, while acknowledging that there do not appear to be commonly accepted standards for making these kinds of profitability determinations. The Trustees believe that the Manager should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services it provides to the Funds. The Trustees also considered that the Manager expects net losses on the Small Cap Fund until it is able to attract sufficient assets, due to the Manager's expense limitation
41
RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited) (continued)
agreement discussed above. Based on their overall review, the Trustees concluded that the Manager's level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds is reasonable.
Other Benefits to Fund Manager
The Trustees considered that the Manager's advisory business might benefit from informal soft dollar arrangements whereby the Manager would receive proprietary investment research services from broker/dealers that execute the Funds' purchases and sales of securities. The Trustees received and reviewed information concerning the Funds' Brokerage Committee and the method by which Fund brokerage is allocated based upon the internally rated quality of brokerage and research services. The Trustees reviewed the Funds' data for the one-year period ending March 31, 2012 showing the dollar amount of commissions allocated among broker/dealers used by the Manager to pay for brokerage services and proprietary research. Similar data showing the dollar amount of commissions allocated is provided to the Trustees at each regular Board Meeting during the year. The Trustees recognized that the profitability of the Manager's advisory business would be lower if it did not receive proprietary research for soft dollars in connection with the Funds' brokerage activity. While difficult to measure, it was concluded by the Trustees that the benefit the Manager receives in this way is fairly modest, particularly given the Funds' relatively low portfolio turnover rates. The Trustees noted that the Manager derives reputational benefits from its association with the Funds as well.
Economies of Scale
The management fees for the Growth and Balanced Funds, which the Manager has been paid for more than twenty-five years, have always been towards the low end of the mutual fund advisory management fee range. In addition, pursuant to an expense waiver agreement mentioned above, the Manager has agreed to waive fees and reimburse the Small Cap Fund's expenses through December 31, 2014 to the extent necessary to limit the annual operating expenses of the Fund for each fiscal year, as a percentage of the Fund's average daily net assets, to 1.25%. The Manager's approach has been to keep costs to the Funds as low as reasonably possible, including the cost of management fees. At the same time, the Manager believes, and the Trustees concur, that it is entitled to earn reasonable returns on its mutual fund business. The Manager acknowledges that while it is difficult to pinpoint the economies of scale to be realized in the Funds' sizes at any particular asset level, there is no question that such economies exist. Accordingly, the Manager, under the terms of the advisory contract for the Growth Fund established a breakpoint at the $2.5 billion asset level. The breakpoint reduces the management fee applicable to assets managed in excess of $2.5 billion from 60 basis points (0.6 of 1%) to 50 basis points (0.5 of 1%). The Trustees reaffirmed their conclusion that establishing this breakpoint at $2.5 billion forms a reasonable basis for having management fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders. The Growth Fund's assets are below the breakpoint as of the printing of this Semi-Annual Report. The Manager believes, and the Trustees concur, that the consideration of establishing a breakpoint at some asset level would be an appropriate way for the Manager to share its economies of scale in the event that the Balanced and Small Cap Funds were to grow their assets substantially. However, at the current level of assets and considering that the management fees are towards the low end of what other mutual fund managers charge, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the Balanced and Small Cap Funds' management fees are reasonable at this time.
HOUSEHOLDING (unaudited)
In an effort to decrease costs, the Trust intends to reduce the number of duplicate Summary Prospectuses and Annual and Semi-Annual Reports you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders reasonably believed to be from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call Shareholder Services at 800-304-7404 to request individual copies of these documents. Once notification to stop householding is received, the Trust will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.
