Pabrai Wagons Fund
Semi-Annual Letter to Shareholders | January 2024 |
Dear Partners:
The Pabrai Wagons Fund (Retail: WAGNX; Institutional: WGNIX) completed its first full quarter on December 31, 2023. We are off to a good start. WAGNX was up 7.71% and WGNIX was up 7.78% for the quarter, vs. the S&P 500, which was up an even more impressive 11.68%. It is very unlikely that the Fund or the S&P 500 can sustain these types of numbers in the future. For reference, the S&P 500 has averaged 11.2% per year (inclusive of reinvested dividends) over the last 50 years. From inception on September 29, 2023 through January 12, 2024, WAGNX was up 7.31% and WGNIX was up 7.40%, vs. the S&P 500, which has delivered 11.76%. Our mission is to beat the S&P 500 over the long-run.
The Fund seeks to invest in durable, growing businesses with robust reinvestment engines and an aligned, high integrity team. We seek businesses that we would be comfortable owning for a very long time. And we want to acquire these businesses when they are being offered at meaningful discounts to their underlying intrinsic value. From time to time, the Fund will also invest in special situations, like merger arbitrage opportunities, where we believe the odds of success weigh heavily in our favor.
Our principal focus in the first three months was to deploy the Fund’s capital in the highest conviction investments that we believe will deliver the best returns. To this end, we have been very pleased with the portfolio that we’ve put together. At 12/31/23, the Fund was invested in a collection of 20 exceptional businesses in the United States, Turkey, Canada, and Europe. Our holdings as of December 31, 2023 were:
| # | Name | Country | Percentage of Net Assets |
| 1 | Coca-Cola Icecek AS | Turkey | 10.0% |
| 2 | Anadolu Efes Biracilik Ve Malt Sanayii AS | Turkey | 9.7% |
| 3 | Consol Energy Inc | USA | 9.2% |
| 4 | Alpha Metallurgical Resources Inc | USA | 8.5% |
| 5 | TAV Havalimanlari Holding AS | Turkey | 7.7% |
| 6 | Warrior Met Coal Inc | USA | 4.4% |
| 7 | Arch Resources Inc | USA | 4.1% |
| 8 | Microsoft Corp | USA | 3.3% |
| 9 | Constellation Software Inc | Canada | 3.3% |
| 10 | Spirit Airlines Inc | USA | 3.3% |
| 11 | Brookfield Corp | Canada | 3.3% |
| 12 | Brembo SpA | Italy | 3.3% |
| 13 | Asbury Automotive Group Inc | USA | 3.3% |
| 14 | Amazon.com Inc | USA | 3.2% |
| 15 | AutoNation Inc | USA | 3.2% |
| 16 | First Citizens BancShares Inc/NC | USA | 3.2% |
| 17 | PayPal Holdings Inc | USA | 3.2% |
| 18 | Topicus.com Inc | Netherlands | 3.2% |
| 19 | Tiny Ltd | Canada | 3.1% |
| 20 | eBay Inc | USA | 0.8% |
| | Available Cash | Available Cash | 6.8% |
| | Total | | 100.0% |
Pabrai Wagons Fund
The Fund’s investments reflect 4 core allocations, which account for 76% of the portfolio:
| 1. | Turkish workhorses, like Coca-Cola Icecek (a global coke bottler based in Turkey that operates in 11 countries), Anadolu Efes (Turkey’s biggest beer brand), and TAV Havalimanlari Holdings (a Turkish airport operator that operates airports in 8 countries). |
| | |
| 2. | U.S. Coal, which includes thermal and metallurgical coal plays like Consol Energy, Alpha Metallurgical Resources, Warrior Met Coal, and Arch Resources. |
| | |
| 3. | U.S. Car Dealerships, including Asbury Automotive and AutoNation. |
| | |
| 4. | North America/Europe Tech, including Microsoft, Amazon, Constellation Software, Topicus and Tiny. |
A common theme among the businesses in all 4 groups is the exceptionally high quality of their underlying franchises. In addition, the first 3 buckets (Turkey, Coal, Car Dealerships) represent corners of the market that are deeply out of favor. The unloved status of these industries has resulted in their businesses being seriously mispriced by the market. We love the unloved and are excited to “circle the wagons” around these 3 buckets.
I am excited about the Pabrai Wagons Fund’s future. Our investment philosophy is rooted in the belief that exceptional investment performance is usually the product of only a few great investments held for a very long time; the trick is to not only find the great investments, but also not sell them. Reminiscent of the defensive maneuver of American pioneers in the 1800s, the Fund will “circle the wagons” around its highest conviction holdings, which we believe will have the highest potential for investment returns. I hope we are smart enough to hold on to the businesses in our portfolio today for a very long time.
Thanks for your continued interest, referrals and support. Feel free to call (+1.512.999.7110) or email us (info@wagonsfund.com) with any queries or comments.
Warm regards,
Mohnish Pabrai

Opinions expressed are those of Dhandho Funds, LLC, and are subject to change, are not guaranteed, and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security. Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in small and medium-capitalization companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger capitalization companies. To the extent that the Fund holds large positions in cash or cash equivalents, there is a risk of lower returns and potential lost opportunities to participate in market appreciation.
Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. 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. or foreign national 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 applicable. 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. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| | Debt securities 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. |
| | |
| | Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. |
| | |
| | Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has adopted a Valuation Policy designating Dhandho Funds, LLC (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 Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its 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 Fund has 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 Fund’s 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 |
Pabrai Wagons Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| | 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 measurements fall in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. |
| | |
| | The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2023. See the Schedule of Investments for an industry breakout. |

| B. | Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| | The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net unrealized and realized gain or loss from investments. The Fund does not isolate net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized gain or loss from investments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates. |
| | |
| C. | Federal Income Taxes. The 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, the Fund intends to declare dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 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 the Fund’s next taxable year. As the Fund has not completed its first fiscal period, there are no applicable amounts to disclose. |
| | |
| | As of December 31, 2023, the Fund 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 Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially. |
Pabrai Wagons Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| D. | 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 a specific identification 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 generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| | |
| E. | Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on, among other things, a jurisdiction’s legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. |
| | |
| F. | 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| | |
| G. | Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for the Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share. The Fund charges a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 90 days. This fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund retains the fee charged as paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation. |
Pabrai Wagons Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| H. | Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. |
| | |
| I. | Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program (the “program”) that requires, among other things, that the Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any investment that the Fund reasonably expects cannot 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. |
| | |
| J. | 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 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. |

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
Dhandho Funds LLC, (the “Advisor”) provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, and certain administrative services, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The investment advisory fees incurred by the Fund for the period ended December 31, 2023, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Advisor, net of any monthly waiver or reimbursement discussed below.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or pay Fund expenses in order to limit the annual ratio of expenses for shares of the Fund to 1.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”), excluding distribution expenses, shareholder servicing fees, and any other class-specific expenses. The current Expense Cap for the Fund is in place indefinitely, and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon 60 days’ written notice to the Advisor. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three years. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is subject to the Board’s review and approval. This reimbursement may be requested by the Advisor if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such period (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The amount of fees waived and expenses absorbed by the advisor during the period ended December 31, 2023, is disclosed in the Statements of Operations. Any amount due from the Adviser is paid monthly to the Fund, if applicable.
As of December 31, 2023, the remaining cumulative amount the Adviser may be reimbursed is $88,859, as shown in the following table. The Adviser may recapture a portion of the above no later than the dates as stated.

No distribution fees are paid by Institutional Class shares. Under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the Retail and Institutional Classes are authorized to pay an annual shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% and 0.10% of each class’s average daily net assets, respectively.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) |
At a meeting held on August 17, 2023, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act) considered the initial approval of an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) for the Pabrai Wagons Fund (the “Fund”), a new series of Professionally Managed Portfolios with Dhandho Funds LLC (the “Adviser”). At this meeting, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Fund, the Adviser and the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. This information 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 initial approval of the Advisory Agreement:
| 1. | Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser’s overall services to be provided to the Fund as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser that would be involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Adviser’s compliance record, as well as the Adviser’s cybersecurity program, business continuity plan, and risk management process. The Board concluded that the Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services. |
| | |
| 2. | Investment Performance of Dhandho and the Fund. As the Fund was newly created, the Board was unable to review the performance of the Fund. However, the Board did consider the performance history of a private fund with a similar strategy. |
| | |
| 3. | Costs of Services and Profits to be Realized by Dhandho. In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of the Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements. The Trustees noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain certain annual expense ratios for the Fund. |
Pabrai Wagons Fund
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued) |
| | For the Fund, the Board noted that the proposed advisory fee was 0.90% which was above the category peer group median. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain was 1.14% (before acquired fund fees and expenses, class level expenses, brokerage commissions, etc.) which was above its category peer group median. The Board also took into account its discussion with the Adviser regarding how the investment strategy of the Fund is different from those of the peer group. |
| | |
| 4. | Extent of Economies of Scale as the Fund Grows. The Board also considered that economies of scale could be expected to be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Fund grows. The Board noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse expenses so that each Fund does not exceed its specified expense limitation. The Board concluded that there were no effective economies of scale to be shared with the Fund at current asset levels, as it had yet to commence operations, but would revisit this issue in the future as circumstances changed and asset levels increased. |
| | |
| 5. | Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Fund. The Trustees discussed the likely overall profitability of the Adviser from managing the new Fund. In assessing possible profitability, the Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the likely direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from advising the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s profit from managing the Fund would likely not be excessive and, after review of relevant financial information, the Adviser would have adequate capitalization and/or would maintain adequate profit levels to support the Fund. |
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the Advisory Agreement, but rather the Board based its determination on the total combination of information available to them. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, including the Fund’s advisory fee, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
Pabrai Wagons Fund
EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Period Ended December 31, 2023 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 29, 2023 – December 31, 2023).
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” lines of the following table provide information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales loads, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Fund Services, the Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, a $15.00 fee is currently charged by Fund Services. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares less than 30 days after you purchase them. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. 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, shareholder servicing fees, distribution 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 actual 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” lines of the following table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s 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 Fund 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, each hypothetical line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| Account Value | Account Value | During the Period |
| 9/29/2023 | 12/31/2023 | 9/29/2023 – 12/31/2023 |

Hypothetical (5% return | | | |

1 | The actual expenses are equal to the Pabrai Wagons Fund annualized net expense ratio of 1.49% for the Retail Class and 1.24% for the Institutional Class (fee waivers in effect for both classes), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 94/365 (to reflect the period from September 29, 2023 to December 31, 2023, the commencement of operations date to the end of the period). |
2 | Hypothetical expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.49% (fee waivers in effect) for the Retail Class, and 1.24% for the Institutional Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (Unaudited) |
The Fund has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “program”). The Board has designated the Adviser’s Chief Compliance Officer (“Adviser CCO”) to serve as the administrator of the program. The Adviser CCO conducts the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Adviser.
Under the program, the Adviser CCO manages the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Fund’s investments, limiting the amount of the Fund’s illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Fund for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Adviser CCO’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 CCO regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. No significant liquidity events impacting the Fund were noted in the report. In addition, the Adviser CCO provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Fund’s liquidity risk.
