Letter from the Investment Teams
October 15, 2023
The past two fiscal quarters have been a bit of a rollercoaster for investors. At the conclusion of the first fiscal quarter, optimism was high and markets were firmly in the black. Persistent rate hikes seemed to be taming inflation without slowing the economy or dramatically raising unemployment, and it appeared that the Fed’s elusive soft landing might happen.
However, sentiment shifted significantly during the second fiscal quarter, and by the end of the period most major markets were negative. Although CPI continued to fall, with the August release reporting a 3.7% year-over-year increase (far lower than the eye-popping 8.3% from August 2022), the quarter produced a litany of other worrying developments from an inflation standpoint:
| 1) | Oil prices soared due to tightening supply, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) climbing from just $70 at the end of June to as high as $91 in the middle of September; |
| | |
| 2) | A long simmering trade battle between the U.S. and Europe on one side and China on the other escalated further; |
| | |
| 3) | The United Auto Workers (UAW) called the biggest strike in decades, with the UAW walking out on several of the Detroit Three automakers’ plants and threatening to widen the strike. |
The net effect of significantly higher oil prices, a worsening trade war with China, and a large and potentially widening labor strike could very well mean renewed and persistent inflation. The soft landing that seemed tantalizingly close at the end of the first fiscal quarter may now be in jeopardy.
Given the strong economy and risk of persistent inflation, the Fed announced a “hawkish pause” at the end of September, keeping the fed funds rate at an elevated 5.25-5.50%, as was widely expected. However, the Fed’s updated “dot plot” that forecasts future interest rates indicated most Fed participants support hiking the rate once more in 2023 to 5.50-5.75%, and the Fed now anticipates holding interest rates higher for longer due to the risk of elevated and persistent inflation.
As a result, Treasury yields spiked in the second fiscal quarter, with the all-important 10-year Treasury trading near 5%, the highest yield (and lowest price) since 2007. As one would expect, equities also reversed their gains from the first fiscal quarter, as the market digested the possibility of persistently high interest rates.
As always, predicting the near-term path of the economy, inflation, and interest rates is fraught with uncertainty. In fact, earlier in 2023 virtually every professional economist thought the U.S. was headed into a recession, and the question was simply one of timing — whether the economy would go into recession in mid-2023, late 2023, or early 2024. As noted above, however, the economy appears quite healthy at the moment.
Therefore, we make economic (and company-level) projections with great humility, acknowledging that the range of potential outcomes is wide. From our vantage point, a soft landing is still possible, especially if the Fed’s more hawkish projection is merely jawboning, with the intended effect of dampening demand to help tamp down inflation without having to actually raise interest rates. Recent wage gains in excess of inflation and low unemployment mean that the average consumer is actually in decent shape, further greasing the wheels for a potential soft landing. Furthermore, savers’ ability to generate a real return on cash for the first time in years — due to higher interest rates — creates added income for well-capitalized companies and consumers. Lastly, companies and consumers who locked in debt at historically low rates the past few years may well be shielded from higher rates for now.
However, we think it is equally possible that elevated interest rates materially reduce demand across the economy and send us into a recession. This possibility becomes more acute the longer high interest rates persist.
Looking forward, the optimist in us takes comfort in the resilience of the American consumer, who drives roughly 70% of economic activity. However, our pessimistic side keeps us paranoid and thinking about the potential risks ahead.

These securities are determined to be liquid by the Adviser, unless otherwise noted, under procedures established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. |
3 | Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. |

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| A. | Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. national or foreign securities exchanges are valued either at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities which may include REITs, BDCs and MLPs that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. |
| | |
| | Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued by using the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent pricing service. The independent pricing service may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. |
| | |
| | Futures contracts are priced by an approved independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded. |
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has adopted a Valuation Policy designating Osterweis Capital Management (the “Adviser”) as the Funds’ Valuation Designee. Under Rule 2a-5, the Valuation Designee shall determine the fair value of securities for which readily available market quotes are not available in accordance with procedures approved by the Board. |
| | |
| | As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are: |
| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access. |
| | |
| Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| | |
| Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
| | The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. |
| | |
| | The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |

| | The Osterweis Total Return Fund has provided additional disclosures below regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting by enabling investors to understand how and why the Osterweis Total Return Fund uses futures contracts (a type of derivative), how they are accounted for and how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The Osterweis Total Return Fund may use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Fund may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments and to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets. |
| | |
| | Rule 18f-4 imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treats derivatives as senior securities and requires funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Effective August 19, 2022, the Osterweis Total Return Fund has adopted a Full Derivatives Fund Program and the Adviser has nominated a Derivative Risk Manager. |
| | |
| | The average notional amount for futures contracts is based on the monthly notional amounts. The notional amount for futures contracts represents the U.S. dollar value of the contract as of the day of opening the transaction or latest contract reset date. There was no average notational value of futures for the Osterweis Total Return Fund during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The following table shows the effects of derivative instruments on the financial statements. |

| Instrument | Recognized in Income | Recognized in Income | Recognized in Income |
| Interest Rate | Realized and Unrealized Gain | | |
| Contracts – Futures | (Loss) on Investments | $61,642 | $ — |
| | The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund did not have derivatives activity during the six months ended September 30, 2023. |
| | |
| B. | Foreign Currency. Foreign currency amounts, other than the cost of investments, are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the spot exchange rate prior to the close of regular trading. The cost of investments is translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates the portfolio securities were acquired. The Funds include foreign exchange gains and losses from dividends receivable, interest receivable and other foreign currency denominated payables and receivables in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation and Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of securities for financial reporting purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments are thus included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and Net realized gain (loss) on investments. |
| | |
| C. | Futures Contracts. The Osterweis Total Return Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities (through index futures or options) or currencies. The purchase of futures contracts may be more efficient or cost-effective than buying the underlying securities or assets. A futures contract is an agreement that obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset (or settle for cash the value of a contract based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specific price on the |
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | contract maturity date. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the counterparty an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange or the broker. Pursuant to a contract entered into with a futures commission merchant, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the firm an amount of cash equal to the cumulative daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund will cover its current obligations under futures contracts by the segregation of liquid assets or by entering into offsetting transactions or owning positions covering its obligations. The Fund’s use of futures contracts may involve risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risk associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. These risks include the risk that the value of the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates or indices that they are designed to track. Other risks include: an illiquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Fund’s initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); and the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. The Osterweis Total Return Fund had futures contracts activity during the six months ended September 30, 2023. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund did not have futures contracts activity during the six months ended September 30, 2023. |
| | |
| D. | To-be-announced (“TBA”) Commitments. The Osterweis Total Return Fund may enter into TBA purchase commitments. In a TBA transaction, the TBA unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when a Fund enters into a contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, which can be 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. The Osterweis Total Return Fund may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If a Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered. Transactions in TBAs are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Osterweis Total Return Fund had TBAs during the six months ended September 30, 2023. The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund did not have TBA’s during the six months ended September 30, 2023. |

| E. | Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Osterweis Total Return Fund enters into mortgage dollar rolls, typically on a TBA basis. Mortgage dollar rolls are agreements between the Fund and a financial institution where the Fund sells (or buys) |
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | mortgage-backed securities for delivery on a specified date and simultaneously contracts to repurchase (or sell) substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities at a future date and at a predetermined price. Gains or losses are realized on the initial sale, and the difference between the repurchase price and the sale price is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund upon entering into the mortgage dollar roll. In addition, the Fund may invest the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund is not entitled to principal and interest paid on the mortgage backed securities. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The risks of mortgage dollar roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations. |
| | |
| F. | Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made. |
| | |
| | In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends, in each calendar year, at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years. |
| | |
| | Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. Net investment losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. |
| | |
| | As of the most recent fiscal year/period end March 31, 2023, there were $272,123 of late-year losses for Emerging Opportunity Fund. There were no post-October losses for the Funds. |
| | |
| | As of the most recent fiscal year/period end March 31, 2023, the Funds had the following capital loss carryovers available for federal income tax purposes: |
| | | Capital Loss Carryovers | |
| | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | |
| Osterweis Fund | | $ | (1,370,325 | ) | | $ | — | |
| Osterweis Strategic Income Fund | | | — | | | | (417,013,678 | ) |
| Osterweis Growth & Income Fund | | | — | | | | — | |
| Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund | | | (37,607,519 | ) | | | (1,147,060 | ) |
| Osterweis Total Return Fund | | | (3,835,209 | ) | | | (2,070,161 | ) |
| Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund | | | (7,812,652 | ) | | | (15,710,488 | ) |
| Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund | | | (108,873 | ) | | | (162,003 | ) |
| | As of September 30, 2023, the Funds 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 the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, as of September 30, 2023, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. |
| | |
| G. | Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on an identified cost basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs and MLPs are generally comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| | |
| H. | Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Osterweis Strategic Income |
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | Fund and Osterweis Growth & Income Fund normally are declared and paid on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Osterweis Total Return Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund normally are declared and paid on a monthly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
| | |
| I. | Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| | |
| J. | Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s net asset value per share. |
| | |
| K. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
| | |
| L. | Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. |
| | |
| M. | Offsetting Agreements. The Funds are subject to various netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. As of September 30, 2023, there were no derivative financial instruments that were subject to enforceable netting arrangements, collateral arrangements, or other similar agreements. |
| | |
| N. | Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and equivalents in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income earned on restricted cash is recorded in other income on the Statements of Operations. |
| | |
| O. | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on the financial statements. |
| | |
| | In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate- related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform. The |
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved an (optional) 2-year extension, until December 31, 2024, for temporary relief of transitioning away from the LIBOR. LIBOR is set to expire June 30, 2023. Companies were initially provided temporary relief through December 31, 2022 to update contracts moving away from LIBOR. |
| | |
| | In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment. |
| | |
| P. | Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Plans of Liquidation have been approved by the Board for the Osterweis Total Return Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund. The Funds will liquidate on December 15th, 2023. For further information, please refer to https://www.osterweis.com/. |
Note 3 – Commitments and Other Related Party Transactions |
The Advisers provide the Funds with investment management services under separate Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers furnish all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and most of the personnel needed by each Fund.

For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million, 0.75% of the average daily net assets from $250 million to $2.5 billion, and 0.65% of the average daily net assets greater than $2.5 billion. For the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75%. For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.85% of the average daily net assets from $500 million to $1 billion, and 0.75% of the average daily net assets greater than $1 billion.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the annual ratio of expenses (Expense Cap) for the Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, Osterweis Total Return Fund, Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund by reducing all or a portion of their fees and reimbursing Fund expenses so that each Fund’s ratios of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 0.95%, 1.10%, 0.75%, 0.99%, and 0.99%, respectively. Each Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser. Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed by the Adviser pursuant to an agreed-upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, any time before the end of the third year following the fee waiver and/or expense absorption, provided the aggregate amount of the Fund’s current operating expenses for such year does not exceed the lesser expense cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board review and approval. Any amount due from the Adviser is paid monthly to the Funds, if applicable. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Adviser recaptured $27,805 in fees in the Osterweis Fund. The Adviser waived $71,245 in fees in the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, $35,947 in the Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and $53,332 in fees in the Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining cumulative amount the Adviser may be reimbursed is $289,348 for Osterweis Fund, $546,266 for Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, $113,711 for Osterweis Short Duration Credit Fund, and $229,277 for Osterweis Sustainable Credit Fund.

Note 8 – Risks Associated with the Discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) |
Several of the Funds invest in corporate bonds that have interest rate provisions linked to LIBOR. LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for such loans. It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR may impact the functioning, liquidity, and value of these.
Osterweis Funds | Expense Examples For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2023 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (April 1, 2023 – September 30, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line for each of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load or other transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, the Funds’ transfer agent currently charges a $15.00 fee. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary. These expenses are not included in the following examples. The following examples include, but are not limited to, investment advisory fees, fund accounting fees, fund administration fees, custody fees and transfer agent fees. However, the following examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” line for each of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
OSTERWEIS FUND
OSTERWEIS STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
OSTERWEIS GROWTH & INCOME FUND
OSTERWEIS EMERGING OPPORTUNITY FUND
OSTERWEIS TOTAL RETURN FUND
At a meeting held on August 17-18, 2023, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act) considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. for the Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC for each of the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and the Osterweis Total Return Fund (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC are referred to individually as an “Adviser” and collectively as the “Advisers” or “Osterweis.” At this meeting and at a prior meeting held on June 26, 2023, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Advisers and the services provided by the Advisers to the Funds under the Advisory Agreements. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements:
| 1. | The nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisers’ overall services provided to the Funds as well as their specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisers involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisers, including information regarding their compliance program, their chief compliance officer and the Advisers’ compliance record, as well as the Advisers’ cybersecurity program, business continuity plan and risk management process. The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Advisers and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Advisers’ operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Advisers to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as, various marketing and compliance topics, including the Advisers’ risk management process. The Board concluded that the Advisers had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing their duties under the Advisory Agreements, and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services. |
| | |
| 2. | The Funds’ historical performance and the overall performance of the Advisers. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Advisers, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications, appropriate securities market benchmarks and the Advisers’ similarly managed accounts, all for periods ended March 31, 2023. The Board also considered performance against a smaller group of peers selected by an independent third-party consultant engaged by the Board to assist it in its 15(c) review (the “Cohort”). While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing each Fund’s performance against its comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of each Fund, as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in its respective peer universe. When reviewing the Funds’ performance against broad market benchmarks, the Board took into account the differences in portfolio construction between the Funds and such benchmarks as well as other differences between actively managed funds and passive benchmarks, such as objectives and risks. In assessing periods of relative underperformance or outperformance, the Board took into account that relative performance can be significantly impacted by performance measurement periods and that some periods of underperformance may be transitory in nature while others may reflect more significant underlying issues. |
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | For the Osterweis Fund, the Board noted that the Fund underperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one-, three- and ten-year periods and outperformed for the five-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed the average of its Cohort for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the underperformance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s outperformance compared to the Adviser’s core equity composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods and underperformed for the ten-year period. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one-, three- , five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed the average of its Cohort for the one- and three-year periods and underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the outperformance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not replicate the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund’s investment style in separately managed accounts. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had underperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one-year period and outperformed for the three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed the average of its Cohort for the one- and ten-year periods and performed for the three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it underperformed for the one-year period and outperformed for the three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s outperformance compared to the Adviser’s growth & income composite for the one- and three-year periods and underperformance for the five- and ten-year periods, noting such differences were not significant. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had outperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed the average of its Cohort for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it outperformed for the one-, three- and five-, and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Adviser’s emerging growth composite for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods, noting such differences were not significant. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had outperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one- and five-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed the average of its Cohort for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it outperformed for the one-, three-, and five-year periods. The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not replicate the Osterweis Total Return Fund’s investment style in separately managed accounts. |
| | |
| 3. | The costs of the services provided by the Advisers and the structure of the Advisers’ fees under the Advisory Agreements. In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of each Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients advised by the Advisers, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into consideration the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.95% excluding certain operating expenses (the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was higher than its peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was above the average of its Cohort and below the median and the Fund’s net expense ratio was lower than the median of its Cohort and above the average. The Board noted that the fees charged to other similarly managed account clients were higher than, equal to, or lower than those charged to the Osterweis Fund depending on the level of assets. |
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)
| | The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was lower than its peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than the median and average of its Cohort. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund and that the breakpoints were currently in effect. The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not replicate the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund’s investment style in separately managed accounts. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was higher than the average of its peer group median. The Board also noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than the Cohort median and average. The Board noted that the fees charged to other similarly managed account clients were higher than, equal to, or lower than those charged to the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund depending on the level of assets. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 1.10% (the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was lower than that of its peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than the median and average of its Cohort. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund, although Fund assets had not yet grown to a point where the breakpoint has been reached. The Board noted that the fees charged to other similarly managed account clients were higher than or equal to those charged to the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund depending on the level of assets. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information. |
| | |
| | For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.75% (the “Expense Cap”) although the Fund is currently operating below that level. The Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio was lower than that of its peer group average. The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than the median and average of its Cohort. The Trustees noted that the Adviser does not replicate the Osterweis Total Return Fund’s investment style in separately managed accounts. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information. |
| | |
| 4. | Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisers that should be shared with shareholders. The Board noted that the Advisory Agreements for the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund contain breakpoints in the advisory fee. The Board also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse expenses so that the Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, and Osterweis Total Return Fund do not exceed their respective Expense Cap. The Board noted that at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders and concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed and assuming asset levels continued to increase. |
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (Continued)
| 5. | The profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board reviewed the Advisers’ financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisers from advising the Funds. The Board considered the profitability to the Advisers from their relationship with the Funds and considered any additional material benefits derived by the Advisers from their relationship with the Funds, particularly benefits received in exchange for “soft dollars” paid to the Advisers. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisers with respect to the Advisory Agreements was not excessive, and that the Advisers had maintained adequate financial resources to support the services they provide to the Funds. |
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, but rather the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to the Trustees. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Advisers, including each Fund’s advisory fee, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements would be in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “program”). The Board has designated the Adviser to serve as the administrator of the program. Personnel of the Adviser conduct the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Adviser.
Under the program, the Adviser manages the Funds’ liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Funds. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of each Funds’ investments, limiting the amount of the Funds’ illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Funds for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Adviser’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of the Funds’ investments is supported by one or more third-party liquidity assessment vendors.
The Board reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. No significant liquidity events impacting any of the Funds were noted in the report. In addition, the Adviser provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Funds’ liquidity risk.
