MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited)
June 30, 2016
Market Overview
The market turned a page at the start of the year and we are seeing a very different story play out compared to a year ago. In 2015, the consumer sectors were the only parts of the economy that seemed to work for investors as the market struggled with the impacts of a rapid fall in oil prices and rapid rise of the dollar against most foreign currencies, hurting the energy sector and export-oriented industrial companies in particular.
With those rapid and dramatic price adjustments now behind us, both factors are neutral to slight tailwinds on a year-over-year basis. In addition, the first half of 2016 saw broad participation across most sectors accompanied by encouraging signs of accelerating economic growth. In the second quarter of this year, forecasted Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth was revised upward from 0.8% to an annual rate approaching 3%. The services sector remained fairly strong in the second quarter and continues to be the primary driver of economic growth. Industrial and materials sector stocks, having risen sharply in the first quarter as the market anticipated manufacturers would begin to feel less headwind from the strong dollar, continued to benefit from positive economic news. Toward the end of the second quarter, a survey of manufacturers reported new orders grew for the fifth consecutive month, the best streak for this survey since last summer. In addition, the composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), which measures several manufacturing indicators, including employment, inventories, orders, and production, was also up. It looks like the worst of the manufacturing slowdown is behind us.
The consumer side of the economy delivered mixed signals, however. Weaker than expected job growth in May and continued moderate wage growth put a damper on consumer spending expectations as stocks in the consumer discretionary sector remained weak. On the other hand, housing remained surprisingly strong, mortgage applications were well ahead of expectations, auto sales remain at all-time highs and retail sales were robust.
The decision by British voters on June 23rd to leave the European Union within two years caused a sharp two day decline in the U.S. market with the S&P 500 down more than 5%. It was followed by a quick recovery that brought the market nearly back to the level where the decline started and up 2% for the quarter. The Federal Reserve once again took a pass on raising interest rates as the negative interest rates in Europe and Japan on over $9 trillion in government issued debt are beginning to spill into our fixed income markets. As the market searches for yield, the overall corporate bond market has been strong, with longer maturity instruments outperforming equities in the quarter.
Outlook
A look at valuations indicates a market that, while not overpriced, is near its long-term average based on dividend yield and is slightly above its long-term average on a forward price per earnings (P/E) ratio. The market has been strong the first six months, and while we remain positive on equities for the long run, we may be entering a period of lower returns in the near-term. In this environment, stock selection is increasingly important and we continue to find plenty of stock positions worth adding to.
The historic Brexit vote has added a degree of uncertainty and volatility to the market but the ultimate outcome and impacts are unknown. While the British pound weakened after the vote, the Euro has come back near its pre-Brexit vote level. The biggest potential currency risk we see would result from Japan attempting to generate growth by devaluing the yen relative to the dollar which would potentially impact companies that compete against Japanese exporters. We will continue to stay on top of developments, but won't make investment decisions based on day-to-day news. In this environment, we may see short-term market displacements which present opportunities. Our focus will continue to be on identifying strong companies with a durable competitive advantage that are well positioned to outperform their peers over the long-term.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country's borders in a specific time period, though GDP is usually calculated on an annual basis.
Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is an indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector. The PMI is based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment.
Dividend Yield is a ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its share price.
P/E (price per earnings) Ratio is the ratio of a company's share price to its per-share earnings.
S&P 500 Total Return (TR) Index (S&P 500) is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks that is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. It tracks both the capital gains of a group of stocks over time and assumes that any cash distributions, such as dividends, are reinvested back into the index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: June 30, 2016
Stock selection drove relative performance as the Growth Fund gained 3.78% in the second quarter and 11.03% for the first six months of the year, outpacing its benchmark index and peer group for both periods. The S&P 500 Total Return (TR) benchmark was up 2.46% and 3.84% and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index of peers gained 2.18% and 3.21% for the quarter and the first six months, respectively. On a sector basis, health care, industrials and materials were the leading contributors to performance while consumer discretionary was weak on a relative basis in both periods.
The Fund's strong performance year-to-date demonstrates the benefits of our long-term investment approach and reinforces the effectiveness of our disciplined investment process. As the market struggled last year with the rapid decline in oil prices and strengthening dollar against other major currencies, we used the weakness to increase positions selectively where we found attractive valuations, focusing, as always, on companies with a durable competitive advantage. In 2016, the market again began to recognize the attractiveness of these great companies, benefiting Fund performance.
Despite market valuations near their long-term averages, we continue to find plenty of opportunity to put money to work and have been buying names such as U.S. Bancorp (USB), Hormel (HRL) and Disney (DIS) as well as establishing new positions in United Health Group (UNH) and Great Western Bank (GWB).

We are not the only investors finding compelling values in some of these stocks. During the first half of the year, we saw announcements that two of our long time portfolio companies were being acquired for substantial premiums over their recent trading ranges, further contributing to the Fund's performance. In the first quarter report, we mentioned that the paint and coatings company Valspar (VAL) is being bought by Sherwin Williams (SHW), with the transaction expected to close in the first quarter of next year. As we discussed last quarter, Valspar complements Sherwin Williams' U.S. presence with a solid international footprint. In the second quarter, Minneapolis-based medical device maker St. Jude Medical (STJ) announced it is being bought by Abbott Laboratories (ABT), with the sale expected to close by the end of this year, creating a clear global leader in cardiac devices. Both of these strategic buyers recognized some of the same competitive strengths that had originally attracted our investment interest and over time continued to reinforce our conviction. In fact, St. Jude was one of the companies we were opportunistically buying on weakness prior to the acquisition

announcement. Both transactions will result in large capital gains for the Fund. We have taken advantage of strength in Valspar to pare back our positions allowing us to redeploy the funds elsewhere.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: June 30, 2016
The Balanced Fund gained 3.99% for the quarter and 8.35% for the first six months of the year, outperforming its benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index), which was up 2.55% in the quarter and up 4.89% for the first half. Stock selection was the primary driver of outperformance for the first six months of the year while both stock selection and sector allocation benefited Fund relative performance in the quarter.
A broad swath of stocks across multiple sectors contributed to performance. Health care, energy, industrials and materials sectors were the leading contributors to performance while the consumer discretionary sector was weak on a relative basis in both periods. Overweight positions in health care and energy and underweight positions in information technology and consumer discretionary sectors benefited performance in the quarter. Notably, the energy sector, which had been under pressure all of last year due to falling oil prices, had seen stocks beaten down. The market recognized that some names were oversold and as a result, one of our portfolio holdings, Exxon (XOM), was a top contributor to performance for both the quarter and first six months.
Despite market valuations near their long-term averages, we continue to find plenty of opportunity to put money to work in existing positions, such as Ecolab Inc. (ECL), Graco Inc. (GGG) and Target Corporation (TGT), as well as to establish a new position in United Health Group (UNH). We are not the only investors finding compelling values in some of these stocks as mergers and acquisition activity also was a significant factor in the Fund's performance. During the first half of the year, we saw announcements that two of our portfolio companies were being considered for acquisition for substantial premiums over their recent trading ranges. In the first quarter, as we had previously reported, the paint and coatings company Valspar (VAL) is being acquired by Sherwin Williams (SHW), with the transaction expected to close in the first quarter of next year. As we discussed last quarter, Valspar complements Sherwin Williams' U.S. presence with a solid international footprint. At the end of the quarter, news broke that Mondelez (MDLZ) had expressed interest in acquiring Hershey (HSY) which is also one of the Fund's portfolio companies. While the ultimate outcome is still uncertain, as Hershey's trustees and shareholders need to approve the deal, the news drove the stock to close up nearly 17%, which also benefited Fund performance.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited) (continued)
On the fixed income side of the Fund, the historic low interest rate environment persists. As discussed above in the market overview section, the Federal Reserve once again took a pass on raising interest rates. With unemployment continuing to decline, we may see one small rate hike before the end of the year, but do not expect any significant moves. Corporate America is taking the opportunity presented by low interest rates to extend out the maturity of its debt and the overall corporate bond market has been strong, with longer maturity instruments outperforming equities in the quarter.
Our goal is to position the duration, or maturity, of our fixed income portfolio to be neutral compared to the benchmark Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index. In the first half, as the duration of the benchmark came up, we came down to meet it by selling into the strength in longer maturity instruments.

The Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The summary prospectus or full prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund and they may be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 304-7404 or by visiting www.mairsandpower.com. Read the summary prospectus or full prospectus carefully before investing.
All holdings in the portfolio are subject to change without notice and may or may not represent current or future portfolio composition. The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.
All investments have risks. The Balanced 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 U.S. corporations. The Fund is subject to yield and share price variances with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short-term. There is also a chance that some of the Fund's holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.
Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss.
Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index is composed of high-quality, investment-grade U.S. Government and corporate fixed income securities with maturities greater than one year. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
S&P 500 Total Return (TR) Index is an unmanaged index of 500 common stocks that is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. It tracks both the capital gains of a group of stocks over time and assumes that any cash distributions, such as dividends, are reinvested back into the index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: June 30, 2016
The Small Cap Fund is up 6.81% in the second quarter and up 11.86% for the first six months of the year, significantly outperforming both the index and peers over both periods. The S&P Small Cap 600 Total Return (TR) is up 3.48% for the second quarter and 6.23% for the first half of the year while the Morningstar Small Cap Blend Category is up 2.43% and 2.98% over the same periods respectively.
Stock selection was the primary factor driving outperformance in the first half of the year, but sector allocation also played a positive role. Specifically, the Fund's underweight position in small cap healthcare stocks helped performance in the first six months of the year as that sector was the worst performing in the S&P 600. An overweight position in the materials sector also added a small amount to relative performance.
The benefit of stock selection has been quite strong as individual holdings have performed well for the first half of the year, rewarding our patient approach to investing. Agree Realty (ADC) has been one of the strongest contributors to relative performance in the first half of 2016. This REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, invests primarily in properties that are leased to industry-leading retail tenants like Walgreens (WBA) and CVS (CVS). As larger retailers look to expand in smaller-footprint urban stores, Agree's real estate portfolio has become more attractive. Also, with interest rates remaining under pressure in the first half of the year, stocks like Agree paying higher dividend yields have become more attractive to investors.
MDU Resources (MDU), a utility based in Bismarck, North Dakota, was also a strong contributor to performance in both the quarter and first half. The stock also benefited from the strength among higher dividend paying stocks as well as the recovery in energy prices in the first half of the year as much of its rate base is impacted to some degree by oil prices in the Bakken.
Bio-Techne (TECH) was another stock that performed well in the second quarter and the first half of the year. Organic growth has accelerated nicely at this bio-tech research and diagnostics company as it has transformed itself under the leadership of a new CEO, Chuck Kummeth. In our opinion, he has done a good job leveraging Bio-Techne's historically strong product portfolio across a broader delivery platform resulting in better distribution. Bio-Techne continues to be a core holding of the Fund as we look for the company to continue to execute on Mr. Kummeth's long-term plan.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited) (continued)
The Fund established a new position in Marcus Corp. (MCS) in the second quarter. Marcus, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, owns and operates 53 theatres and 18 hotels. In the theatre segment, Marcus typically holds a number one or number two position in the markets in which it competes (focused in the Midwest) and has been investing relative to competitors. So, despite slow market growth, we anticipate the company will continue to take market share at a pretty strong clip. The addition of food and alcohol sales in select theatres should also benefit margins over time.
With the recovery in energy prices, the stock of Northern Oil and Gas (NOG) moved up sharply in the second quarter from its lows, giving us the opportunity to exit a relatively small position that we had held in the portfolio for some time.
While valuations are high on an absolute basis relative to historical norms, and we have been hindered somewhat by the current low-rate and strong-dollar environment in the short-term, we believe there are still pockets of opportunity to invest in companies with strong competitive positions. The Fund saw strong cash inflows in the second quarter and we have been putting that cash to work in companies we feel have strong competitive positions over the long-term. We have been pleased with the interest in the Fund and its growth over the last several years and we are looking forward to celebrating the Fund's five-year anniversary this coming August 11th.

The Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The summary prospectus or full prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund and they may be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 304-7404 or by visiting www.mairsandpower.com. Read the summary prospectus or full prospectus carefully before investing.
All holdings in the portfolio are subject to change without notice and may or may not represent current or future portfolio composition. The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.
All investments have risks. The Small Cap 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 U.S. corporations. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings by small cap companies, which can involve greater risk than investments in companies that are already publicly traded.
Diversification does not guarantee profit or protect against loss.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) June 30, 2016
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Mairs & Power Funds Trust (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). Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund) and Mairs & 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 objective of the Balanced Fund is to provide capital growth, current income and preservation of capital. The objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average, long-term appreciation. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."
Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Security Valuations
Security valuations for each Fund's investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). Investments in listed equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are principally traded or 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 valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service and in certain circumstances may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Pricing service prices for debt obligations are based on various evaluative and matrix-based methodologies and models that use market inputs such as market transactions, dealer quotations, benchmark yields and issuer, industry and economic events. 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.
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 two or more dealers that make markets in the securities. When market quotations are not readily available, or when 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.
When determining the value of a security, the Fair Value Committee takes into consideration all indications of value that appear relevant under the particular circumstances as well as 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 in addition to other more specific factors that may be applied on a case-by-case basis. Consequently, the value of the security used by a Fund may differ from a quoted or published price for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for the security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. As of June 30, 2016, no securities 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
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) June 30, 2016
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Valuation Measurements (continued)
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).
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 securities held by each Fund as of June 30, 2016:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Level 1* | | $ | 4,244,535,618 | | | $ | 510,825,933 | | | $ | 251,853,379 | | |
Level 2** | | | - | | | | 249,863,003 | | | | - | | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total | | $ | 4,244,535,618 | | | $ | 760,688,936 | | | $ | 251,853,379 | | |
* All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks and preferred securities) and short-term investments.
** All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities, excluding preferred securities.
For detail of securities by major sector classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.
The Funds had no transfers amongst levels and did not hold any Level 3 investments during the period ended June 30, 2016.
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. Interest income, including the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method. 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 of 1986, as amended (the Code). 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, 2016, 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.
At December 31, 2015, none of the Funds had capital loss carryforwards nor did they have any post-October losses for federal tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued) June 30, 2016
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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. Per a proposal presented and approved at the quarterly meeting of the Board held on May 17, 2016, the Trust will submit a request for a Private Letter Ruling to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on behalf of the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund requesting a change to the Funds' excise tax year end from December 31 to October 31. As of August 1, 2016, the Private Letter Ruling was submitted to the IRS.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on their relative assets. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the Fund that incurred the expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15). ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for annual reporting periods. The ASU will result in additional disclosures and will require certain disclosures if an entity concludes that substantial doubt exists and will require disclosure of plans to alleviate that doubt. It is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. This ASU is not expected to have any impact on the Funds' statements of assets and liabilities or statements of operations.
Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions
Investment Management and Fund Administration Fees
The Adviser provides investment management services to the Funds under a 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 provides fund administration services to the Funds under a written fund administration servicing agreement approved by 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, 2016 and fund administration fees payable to the Adviser as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Fund administration fees incurred | | $ | 55,180 | | | $ | 9,636 | | | $ | 2,834 | | |

Investment Management and Fund Administration Fees (continued)
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, 2016 and sub-administration fees payable to USBFS as of June 30, 2016 were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |

Trustees' Fees
The Funds pay compensation to the disinterested Trustees of the Trust. The Funds do not pay remuneration to officers or to Trustees who are officers, directors or employees of the Adviser.
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. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the difference arises.
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP, and 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, were as follows:
Six months ended June 30, 2016 | |
Distributions paid from: | | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |

Total accumulated earnings | | $ | 1,624,670,680 | | | $ | 115,327,206 | | | $ | 19,575,665 | | |

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including redemption fees and (2) ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Funds are "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, 2016 through June 30, 2016 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 ongoing 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 highlight ongoing costs only. They may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited)
The Board of Trustees (the Trustees) unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement for Investment Counsel Service (the Advisory Contract) between Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust) on behalf of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund) and the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (each, a Fund and together, the Funds) and Mairs & Power, Inc. (the Adviser) at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on May 17, 2016. In evaluating the Advisory Contract, the Trustees took into account their cumulative experience with the Adviser and their ongoing review and discussion with the Funds' portfolio managers at meetings throughout the year.
In preparation for the May 17, 2016 meeting, the Adviser provided the Trustees with extensive materials that are relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Advisory Contract. As part of their discussion at the May 17 meeting, the independent Trustees discussed the materials and the proposed renewal of the Advisory Contract in executive session with legal counsel present, but with no representatives of the Adviser being present. In reaching their decision to renew the Advisory Contract with the Adviser, 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 Adviser and are discussed below. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
With respect to the quality and extent of the Adviser's services provided to the Funds, the Trustees noted the Funds' long-term performance record, as discussed in more detail below under "Investment Performance." The Trustees considered the Adviser's experience as an investment adviser, the investments it has made in the advisory business, including the hiring of new personnel, and the services it would continue to provide the Funds and their shareholders under the Advisory Contract. The Trustees considered the Adviser's disciplined investment decision-making process, including its emphasis on companies located in the Upper Midwest and the Durable
48
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited) (continued)
Competitive Advantage analysis performed to identify companies with sustainable long-term growth. With respect to the Balanced Fund, the Trustees considered the Adviser's fundamental analysis and credit monitoring of debt securities. The Trustees also took into account other components of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, such as the Adviser's distribution strategy, the Adviser's risk management system and results of the most recent compliance review. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Advisory Contract.
Investment Performance
In reviewing the Funds' performance, the Trustees considered the information provided in connection with the May 17, 2016 Board meeting, noting that they also receive detailed performance information at each regular Board meeting during the year as well as an in depth review of prior year performance at the February Board meeting. At the May 17, 2016 meeting, the Trustees considered the investment results for the Funds compared to those mutual funds with similar investment objectives as determined by Morningstar, a representative peer group of funds with similar investment objectives and strategies as determined by the Adviser and to each Fund's respective performance benchmarks. With respect to the Growth Fund and the Balanced Fund, the Trustees reviewed comparative performance information for the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since-inception periods ending December 31, 2015. The Trustees noted that the performance of the Growth Fund had trailed the benchmark and Morningstar category averages over the one-year period but had exceeded the peer group average over such period. The Board considered the Adviser's commentary with respect to the Growth Fund's relative performance in 2015, including the effect of the Adviser's multi-cap approach. The Trustees noted that the Growth Fund had outperformed the average return of the peer group and Morningstar category for the five- and ten-year periods, had underperformed the benchmark for the five-year period and had outperformed the benchmark for the ten-year period.
The Balanced Fund's performance trailed the average return of the peer group, Morningstar category and composite index for the one-year period. The Board considered the Adviser's explanation for the Fund's underperformance in 2015, including the effect of certain sectors and the poor performance of corporate bonds. The Balanced Fund's performance exceeded the returns of the peer group and Morningstar category over the five- and ten-year periods, lagged the composite index for the five-year period and outperformed the composite index for the ten-year period.
With respect to the Small Cap Fund, the Trustees reviewed comparative performance information for the one-year, three-year and since-inception periods ended December 31, 2015. The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Fund's performance has exceeded its peer group average and Morningstar category average but trailed its benchmark index during the one- and three-year periods. The Board noted the Adviser's discussion of stock selection as the driver of relative performance in 2015. The Fund outperformed the benchmark index and peer group average for the since-inception period. Based upon their review, the Trustees concluded that each Fund's investment performance has been satisfactory.
Management Fees
In evaluating the level of the management fees paid to the Adviser, the Trustees considered both the amount of the fees and the overall expenses of the Funds, compared to those of other similar mutual funds, as well as the quality and quantity of advisory and other services provided by the Adviser. The Trustees noted that the net management fee paid to the Adviser by the Growth Fund is below the average fees for the Morningstar peer group and for the peer group of competitive funds identified by the Adviser. The management fee for the Balanced Fund is below the Morningstar category average and the peer group average. Additionally, the Trustees noted that the Growth Fund's and Balanced Fund's total expense ratios are below the average total expense ratios of funds in their Morningstar peer groups and the competitive funds identified by the Adviser. With respect to the Small Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that while the management fee was slightly above the Morningstar average, the management fee was below the peer group average and the Fund's total expense ratio was below the Morningstar and peer group averages.
The Trustees then reviewed the fees the Adviser charges its non-mutual fund advisory clients, including retirement funds, other institutional clients and individuals (Advisory Clients) with investment objectives similar to those of
49
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited) (continued)
the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund. The Adviser provided the Trustees with information about the fee schedule for Advisory Clients and the differences in the scope of services provided to its Advisory Clients compared with the scope of those it provides to the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the investment advisory fee charged to an institutional client of the Adviser for sub-advisory services in the small cap mandate. The Trustees noted that the Adviser provides certain services to the Funds that are not provided to Advisory Clients and the sub-advised account, such as office facilities and Fund officers. In addition, the level of investment decision-making is generally higher with respect to the Funds, particularly for the Growth Fund and Balanced Fund where cash flows result in purchase and sale decisions made by the Adviser almost every trading day. Having considered all of these factors, the Trustees concluded that the Funds' management fees are fair and reasonable for the services provided.
Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser
The Trustees reviewed information regarding the Adviser's overall profitability as well as the allocation of profitability between Advisory Clients and the Funds. The profitability of the mutual fund business was further broken down among the Growth, Balanced and Small Cap Funds, as applicable. The Trustees reviewed the Adviser's financial assumptions and methods of expense allocation used. The Trustees noted that the profitability calculation includes fees received by the Adviser under both the Fund Administration Servicing Agreement and the Advisory Contract. The Trustees believe that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services it provides to the Funds. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser's financial condition and determined it to be sound. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with the Funds is reasonable.
Other Benefits
The Trustees considered the benefits to the Adviser from soft dollar arrangements whereby the Adviser receives proprietary investment research services from broker-dealers that execute the Funds' purchases and sales of securities, including invitations to conferences, meetings with company management and general research. As a general matter, the research services received from broker-dealers are used to service all accounts that invest in equity securities. The Trustees received and reviewed information concerning the Funds' brokerage commissions and allocation of Fund brokerage. The Trustees recognized that the Adviser's profitability would be lower if it did not receive proprietary research for soft dollars in connection with the Funds' brokerage activity. In addition, the Trustees considered that the Adviser's Advisory Clients benefit from access to and research obtained from brokers executing trades on behalf of the Funds. While difficult to measure, the Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser receives in this way are fairly modest, given the Funds' relatively low portfolio turnover rates and the research capability that the Adviser itself maintains. The Trustees noted that the Adviser derives reputational benefits from its association with the Funds as well. The Trustees considered the nature and amount of fees paid by the Funds for administrative services provided by the Adviser under the Fund Administration Servicing Agreement. The Trustees concluded that the other benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds were reasonable.
Economies of Scale
The Trustees reviewed the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds increase in size. The Trustees considered the asset levels in each of the Funds. The Trustees noted that the Adviser's approach has been to keep costs to the Funds as low as reasonably possible, including management fee levels. At the same time, the Adviser believes, and the Trustees concur, that it is entitled to earn reasonable returns on its mutual fund business. The Adviser acknowledged that while it is difficult to pinpoint the economies of scale to be realized by the Funds at any particular asset level, there is no question that such economies exist. Accordingly, the Adviser, 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 Growth Fund shareholders. The Adviser believes, and the Trustees concur, that the consideration of establishing a breakpoint at certain asset levels would be an appropriate way for the Adviser to share its economies of scale in the
50
BOARD OF TRUSTEES' APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT (unaudited) (continued)
event that the Balanced Fund continues to increase in size. The Trustees considered the Adviser's commitment to consider such a breakpoint in the future. Considering their current level of assets, the Trustees concluded that the absence of breakpoints in the management fee for the Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund is reasonable at this time.
HOUSEHOLDING (unaudited)
