Semi-Annual Report
February 28, 2022
The reports concerning the Trust for Credit Unions (“TCU” or the “Trust”) Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio and Short Duration Portfolio (each a “Portfolio” and together the “Portfolios”) included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Portfolios in the future. These statements are based on Portfolio management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Portfolios, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Portfolios. Management believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
TCU files the complete schedule of portfolio holdings of each Portfolio with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. The Portfolios’ Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
Information regarding how the Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities, if any, during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is available by August 31 of the relevant year: (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Trust at 1-800-342-5828; and (ii) on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Dear Credit Union Shareholders,
Credit unions wrapped up 2021 in historic fashion, reaching a series of milestones that reflect their focus on serving members. Among the many notable metrics, the industry recorded a 5.4 million annual increase in membership, opened a record 4.5 million share draft accounts, originated a record $795 billion in loans to members, and crossed $2 trillion in assets. Given the challenges the pandemic has presented during the past two years, these results are particularly outstanding.
Entering 2022, the industry’s balance sheet is well positioned to build on the momentum with ample liquidity, asset quality at historically strong levels, an industrywide net worth ratio exceeding 10%, and the highest industry ROA in nearly 20 years. The strong balance sheet will be important as the economic environment shifts.
In March, the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) announced the first increase in the federal funds target rate since 2018 and signaled its expectation for six more hikes by year-end. The Fed also is beginning to reduce its balance sheet after being a significant source of market liquidity over the past two years. The rise in rates is welcomed by credit union CFOs, who have seen tightening net interest margins over the past two years. Although share growth slowed in the second half of 2021, the industry’s investment portfolio has grown over 86% since the end of 2019 while the average yield on investments fell from 2.37% in 2019 to 0.89% in 2021.
With the market anticipating moves by the Fed as inflation continued its rise, fixed income markets in the fourth quarter of 2021 and first quarter of 2022 were particularly challenging. The increase in interest rates, higher volatility of interest rates and wider spreads all factored into the challenging environment, impacting Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and corporate bonds.
For the six-month period ended February 28, 2022, the cumulative total return of the TCU share class of the Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio was -0.20% versus a 0.02% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. Over the same period, the TCU share class of the Short Duration Portfolio’s cumulative total return was -1.89% versus a -1.72% cumulative total return for the ICE BofAML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index. The Investment Adviser’s Discussion and Analysis in this report provides perspective from ALM First on the positioning of the TCU portfolios. Please refer to their discussion for more information.
Particularly in this environment, ensuring investors have the most current information available is paramount. It is one of the key value components of the Trust for Credit Unions (“TCU”). Please visit our website, www.TrustCU.com, for the most current information on the funds, including performance and portfolio holdings. We also regularly host webinars in which ALM First discusses the current market environment and provides an update on TCU portfolio performance and positioning.

INVESTMENT ADVISER’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TCU ULTRA-SHORT DURATION PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective
The TCU Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio (“USDP” or the “Portfolio”) seeks to achieve a high level of current income, consistent with low volatility of principal, by investing in obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act. Under normal circumstances, substantially all of the assets (and at least 80%, measured at the time of purchase) of USDP will be invested in fixed-income securities consisting of the following: (1) securities issued or guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. government or by its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises and related custodial receipts; (2) repurchase agreements secured with obligations authorized by the Federal Credit Union Act; and (3) U.S. dollar denominated bank notes issued or guaranteed by banks with total assets exceeding $1 billion with weighted average maturities of less than 5 years, but only to the extent permitted under the Federal Credit Union Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Portfolio expects that a substantial portion of these securities will be mortgage-related securities. The Portfolio may also invest in non-U.S. government related securities, including bank notes and repurchase agreements secured by non-U.S. government related collateral. While there will be fluctuations in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the USDP, the Portfolio is expected to have less interest rate risk and asset value fluctuation than funds investing primarily in longer-term mortgage-backed securities paying a fixed rate of interest. An investment in the Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. USDP invests in obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act with a maximum portfolio duration not to exceed that of a One-Year U.S. Treasury Security and a target duration equal to that of its benchmark, the ICE BofAML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Note Index.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, ALM First Financial Advisors, LLC (“ALM First” or the “Adviser”) discusses the Portfolio’s performance and positioning for the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).
Q. How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?
For the Reporting Period, the cumulative total return of USDP TCU Shares was -0.20% versus a 0.02% cumulative total return of the Portfolio’s benchmark, the ICE BofAML Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). The Portfolio’s NAV per share at the end of the Reporting Period was $9.40, versus $9.43 on August 31, 2021.
Q. What key factors were responsible for the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period?
During the Reporting Period spreads on assets like floating-rate Agency Commercial Backed Securities (“ACMBS”), Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (“HECMs”), and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) expanded, hampering the Portfolio’s performance relative to its rates based index.
Q. Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Portfolio performance?
As discussed above spreads on floating-rate ACMBS, HECMs, and CMOs widened over the period and led to the Portfolio underperforming relative to its benchmark, as increasing spreads led to a larger price decline than can be attributed to the change in rates alone.
Q. Did the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
Since ALM First keeps the duration of the Portfolio aligned with that of the Index to avoid taking a position on the direction of interest rates, the Portfolio’s duration neither helped nor hurt its performance.
Q. Were there any notable changes in the Portfolio’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
The allocation to short-term U.S. Treasury securities increased from zero to 20% of portfolio assets over the period.
Q. How was the Portfolio positioned relative to its benchmark index at the end of February 2022?
At the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s largest allocations were in Agency Mortgage-Related Securities, which the Index has no allocation to since the Index is made up only of U.S. Treasury securities.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.
There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.
Portfolio holdings and/or allocations shown above are as of the date indicated and may not be representative of future investments. The holdings and/or allocations shown may not represent all of the Portfolio’s investments. Future investments may or may not be profitable.

INVESTMENT ADVISER’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
TCU SHORT DURATION PORTFOLIO
Investment Objective
The TCU Short Duration Portfolio (“SDP” or the “Portfolio”) seeks to achieve a high level of current income, consistent with relatively low volatility of principal, by investing in obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act. During normal market conditions, SDP intends to invest a substantial portion of its assets in mortgage-related securities, which include mortgage-related securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises. Mortgage-related securities held by SDP may include adjustable rate and fixed rate mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other multi-class mortgage-related securities, as well as other securities that are collateralized by or represent direct or indirect interests in mortgage-related securities or mortgage loans. An investment in the Portfolio is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government. SDP invests in obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act with a target duration that is equal to that of the ICE BofAML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index and its maximum duration is that of a Three-Year U.S. Treasury Security.
Portfolio Management Discussion and Analysis
Below, ALM First discusses the Portfolio’s performance and positioning for the Reporting Period.
Q. How did the Portfolio perform during the Reporting Period?
The Portfolio’s cumulative total return for the Reporting Period was -1.89% for the TCU shares, versus a -1.72% cumulative total return for the ICE BofAML Two-Year U.S. Treasury Note Index (the “Index”). The Portfolio’s net asset value per share closed the Reporting Period at $9.62, versus $9.83 on August 31, 2021.
Q. What key factors were responsible for the Portfolio’s performance during the Reporting Period?
During the six-month period ended February 28, 2022 the yield curve flattened by 71 basis points, with the spread between the 2-year and 10-year Treasuries decreasing to 39 basis points from 110 basis points. Additionally, the yield curve shifted higher, the 2-year yield increased by 122 basis points while the 10-year yield ended the period 52 basis points higher.
Wider spreads and higher levels of interest rate volatility also impacted the Portfolio. Agency Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”) and ACMBS both experienced spread widening over the period. Additionally, higher levels of interest rate volatility had a negative impact on the price of securities with embedded options such as MBS.
Q. Which fixed income market sectors most significantly affected Portfolio performance?
Wider spreads on MBS and ACMBS had a negative impact on the Portfolio’s performance relative to its benchmark. Additionally, higher-levels of interest rate volatility put downward pressure on MBS valuations due to the options embedded within those securities.
Q. Did the Portfolio’s duration and yield curve positioning strategy help or hurt its results during the Reporting Period?
Since ALM First keeps the duration of the Portfolio aligned with that of the Index to avoid taking a position on the direction of interest rates, the Portfolio’s duration neither helped nor hurt its performance. Unlike the benchmark which is sensitive only to changes in 2-year rates, the Portfolio has exposure to the entire yield curve and with long-end rates increasing less than the 2-year, the Portfolio was able to avoid some of that impact.
Q. Were there any notable changes in the Portfolio’s weightings during the Reporting Period?
No.
Q. How was the Portfolio positioned at the end of February 2022?
At the end of the Reporting Period, the Portfolio’s largest allocations were in Agency MBS securities, which the Index has no allocation to since the index is made up only of U.S. Treasury securities.
Past performance does not guarantee future results, which may vary.
There is no guarantee that these objectives will be met.
Portfolio holdings and/or allocations shown above are as of the date indicated and may not be representative of future investments. The holdings and/or allocations shown may not represent all of the Portfolio’s investments. Future investments may or may not be profitable.

TRUST FOR CREDIT UNIONS
Notes to Financial Statements
Six Months Ended February 28, 2022 (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Trust for Credit Unions (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company currently consisting of two diversified portfolios: Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio and Short Duration Portfolio (together, the “Portfolios” or individually, a “Portfolio”). Shares of the Portfolios are offered for sale solely to state and federally chartered credit unions. The Trust previously offered shares of another portfolio, the Money Market Portfolio, which suspended operations as of the close of business on May 30, 2014.
On October 1, 2012, the Trust began offering a second class of shares, known as Investor Shares, in each of the Portfolios and the existing shares in each Portfolio were redesignated as TCU Shares. Investor Shares and TCU Shares of each Portfolio should have returns that are substantially the same because they represent interests in the same Portfolio and differ only to the extent that they have different class specific expenses. Effective October 1, 2012, TCU Shares of each Portfolio are only available to those shareholders that had open accounts in the particular Portfolio as of such date. The Investor Shares of each Portfolio commenced operations on November 30, 2012.
The Portfolios seek to achieve a high level of current income, consistent with low volatility of principal (in the case of the Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio) and relatively low volatility of principal (in the case of the Short Duration Portfolio) by investing in obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act.
The Portfolios are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Portfolios. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
A. Investment Valuation
Investments in mortgage-backed, asset-backed (to the extent that obligations authorized under the Federal Credit Union Act are categorized as asset-backed obligations), and U.S. Treasury obligations for which accurate market quotations are readily available are valued on the basis of quotations furnished by a pricing service or provided by dealers in such securities. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which considers yield or price with respect to comparable bonds, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in such characteristics as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations maturing in sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Portfolio securities for which accurate market quotations are not readily available due to, among other factors, current market trading activity, credit quality and default rates, are valued based on yield equivalents, pricing matrices or other sources, under valuation procedures established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
The Portfolios are subject to fair value accounting standards that define fair value, establish the framework for measuring fair value and provide a three-level hierarchy for fair valuation based upon the inputs to the valuation as of the measurement date. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 – | quoted prices in active markets for identical securities | |
Level 2 – | significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) | |
Level 3 – | significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets and liabilities, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities, if any, on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Portfolios’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Portfolios may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Fair Value, as of | ||||
February 28, 2022 | $ | 1,500,000 |
Factors considered in determining the fair value of investments designated as Level 3 include anticipated cash flows and credit characteristics.
B. Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are reflected for financial reporting purposes as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of portfolio securities are calculated using the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, premium amortized and discount accreted.
All paydown gains and losses are classified as interest income in the accompanying Statements of Operations in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Market discounts, original issue discounts and market premiums on debt securities are accreted/amortized to interest income over the life of the security with a corresponding increase/decrease in the cost basis of that security using the yield to maturity method, or where applicable, the first call date of the security.
C. Distribution to Shareholders
Each Portfolio intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its investment income and capital gains. The Portfolios declare dividends from net investment income daily and pay such dividends monthly. Each Portfolio makes distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations.
D. Allocations
Net investment income earned, other than class-specific expenses, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for a Portfolio are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of settled shares of each class at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current day’s settled capital share activity of the respective class). Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Expenses not directly charged to a Portfolio are allocated proportionally among all the Portfolios in the Trust, daily in relation to the net assets of each Portfolio or another reasonable measure.
E. 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. LIBOR Transition
The Portfolios invest in financial instruments with payment obligations, financing terms, hedging strategies or investment values based on floating rates, such as London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is the offered rate for short-term Eurodollar deposits between major international banks.
ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, ceased publication of most LIBOR settings on a representative basis at the end of 2021 and is expected to cease publication of a majority of U.S. dollar LIBOR settings on a representative basis after June 30, 2023. In addition, global regulators have announced that, with limited exceptions, no new LIBOR-based contracts should be entered into after 2021. The transition away from LIBOR poses a number of other risks, including changed values of LIBOR-related investments, which may adversely affect the Portfolios’ performance.
G. Federal Taxes
It is each Portfolio’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, no federal tax provisions are required. Income distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date, declared daily and paid monthly by the Portfolios. Net capital losses are carried forward to future years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards may reduce the requirement of future capital gain distributions.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders is determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax rules, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the source of each Portfolio’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from net investment income, net realized gains or as a tax return of capital.
Generally, paydown gains and losses are recorded as increases (paydown gains) or decreases (paydown losses) against capital gains for tax purposes. The Portfolios have elected to accrete and amortize market discounts and premiums on portfolio securities for tax purposes based on the securities’ yield to maturity. For the current year, net amortization is reducing ordinary income available for distribution.
Management has analyzed the Portfolios’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolios’ financial statements. The Portfolios’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
The aggregate cost of investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments for Federal income tax purposes as of August 31, 2021, were as follows:
Ultra-Short | Short | |||||||
Duration | Duration | |||||||
Portfolio | Portfolio | |||||||

Net Unrealized | ||||||||
Appreciation on | ||||||||
Investments | $ | 5,950,965 | $ | 7,285,765 |
H. Expenses
Expenses incurred by the Portfolios that do not specifically relate to an individual Portfolio are generally allocated to the Portfolios based on each Portfolio’s relative average net assets for the period or in such other manner as the Board deems fair or equitable depending upon the nature of the expenses. In addition, expenses incurred by a Portfolio that do not specifically relate to a particular class of shares of the Portfolio are generally allocated to the appropriate classes based on each class’ relative average net assets or in such other manner as the Board deems fair and equitable. Expenses that specifically relate to a particular class of shares of a Portfolio are allocated to that class.
The Portfolios pay compensation to the independent Trustees of the Trust in the form of a retainer, attendance fees, and additional compensation to Board and Committee chairpersons. The Portfolios do not pay compensation to Trustees or officers of the Trust who are also officers of the Trust’s investment adviser or administrator.
I. Repurchase Agreements and Reverse Repurchase Agreements
Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price. During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of the Portfolios, including accrued
31
TRUST FOR CREDIT UNIONS
Notes to Financial Statements
Six Months Ended February 28, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. If the seller defaults or becomes insolvent, realization of the collateral by the Portfolios may be delayed or limited and there may be a decline in the value of the collateral during the period while the Portfolios seek to assert their rights. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held in safekeeping at the Portfolios’ regular custodian or at a custodian specifically designated for purposes of the repurchase agreement under triparty repurchase agreements.
A repurchase agreement may permit a Portfolio, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the repurchase agreement with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Portfolio. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the repurchase agreement counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase agreement, a Portfolio receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Portfolio upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the repurchase agreement counterparty, the Portfolio would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Portfolio’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.
Master Repurchase Agreements (“MRAs”) permit the Portfolio, under certain circumstances, including an event of default (such as bankruptcy or insolvency), to offset payables and/or receivables under the MRA with collateral held and/or posted to the counterparty and create one single net payment due to or from the Portfolio. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of the MRA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Pursuant to the terms of the MRA, the Portfolio receives or posts securities as collateral with a market value in excess of the repurchase price to be paid or received by the Portfolio upon the maturity of the transaction. Upon a bankruptcy or insolvency of the MRA counterparty, the Portfolio would recognize a liability with respect to such excess collateral to reflect the Portfolio’s obligation under bankruptcy law to return the excess to the counterparty.
The Portfolios had investments in repurchase agreements at February 28, 2022. The gross value and related collateral received for these investments are presented in each Portfolio of Investments and the value of these investments is also presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The value of the related collateral held by each Portfolio exceeded the value of its respective repurchase agreements as of February 28, 2022.
The Portfolios may also engage in reverse repurchase transactions in which a Portfolio sells its securities and simultaneously agrees to repurchase the securities at a specified time and price. Reverse repurchase transactions are considered to be borrowings by a Portfolio. The Portfolios did not engage in reverse repurchase transactions during the six months ended February 28, 2022.
J. When-Issued Securities
Consistent with National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”) rules and regulations, the Portfolios may purchase or sell when-issued securities, including TBA (“To Be Announced”) securities that have been authorized but not yet issued in the market. The value of a when-issued security sale is recorded as an asset and a liability on the Portfolios’ records with the difference between its market value and expected cash proceeds recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Gains or losses are realized upon delivery of the security sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the security or from the inability of counterparties to meet the terms of the transaction. All settlements in connection with purchases and sales of when-issued securities must be by regular way (i.e., the normal security settlement time, which may vary according to security type). When purchasing a security on a when-issued basis, the Portfolios must set aside liquid assets, or engage in other appropriate measures to cover the obligations under the contract.
K. Mortgage Dollar Rolls
The Portfolios may enter into mortgage ‘‘dollar rolls’’ in which the Portfolios sell securities in the current month for delivery and simultaneously contract with the same counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not identical securities on a specified future date. For financial reporting and tax reporting purposes, the Portfolios treat mortgage dollar rolls as two separate transactions; one involving the purchase of a security and a separate transaction involving a sale. During the settlement period between the sale and repurchase, the Portfolios will not be entitled to accrue interest and/or receive principal payments on the securities sold. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Portfolios may decline below the repurchase price of those securities. In the event the buyer of the securities under a dollar roll transaction files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the Portfolios’ use of proceeds of the transaction may be restricted pending a determination by, or with respect to, the other party.

Note 5. Bank Borrowings
On April 26, 2021, each of the Portfolios entered into an uncommitted line of credit (the “Credit Facility”) with U.S. Bank. The Credit Facility provides for a $500,000,000 uncommitted, secured 364-day umbrella line of credit for the Ultra Short Duration Portfolio and the Short Duration Portfolio. The annual interest rate charged on borrowings under the Credit Facility equals (i) the prime rate charged by U.S. Bank, less (ii) 0.50%.
During the six months ended February 28, 2022, the Short Duration Portfolio had borrowings under the Credit Facility on three days, with an average borrowing and interest rate on those days of $18,910,000 and 2.75%, respectively. Interest expense of $4,334 incurred during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The balance as of December 10, 2021 of $18,910,000 was the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding during the six months ended February 28, 2022.The Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio did not have any borrowings under the Credit Facility during the six months ended February 28, 2022.

Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years following the loss, and such carryforward is treated as a short-term capital loss in each of those years, irrespective of the character of the original loss. Net capital losses (earned in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010) (“post–2010 losses”) may be carried forward indefinitely and must retain the character of the original loss.

Six Months Ended February 28, 2022 (Unaudited) (continued)
the first day of the following fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the Portfolios did not defer any late year losses.
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable primarily to accretion of market discounts, amortization of market premiums, and wash sale deferrals.
In order to present certain components of the Portfolios’ capital accounts on a tax basis, certain reclassifications have been recorded to the Portfolios’ accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Portfolios. Reclassifications result primarily from the difference in the tax treatment of paydown gains and losses, distribution redesignations, market discounts and market premiums and expiration of capital loss carryforwards. There were no reclassifications during the year ended August 31, 2021.
Note 7. Credit and Concentration Risk
The Portfolios’ investments are subject to credit risk, the risk that issuers and/or counterparties will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s or a counterparty’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer or counterparty may deteriorate. Credit spreads may increase, which may reduce the market values of a Portfolio’s securities. Credit spread risk is the risk that economic and market conditions or any actual or perceived credit deterioration may lead to an increase in the credit spreads (i.e., the difference in yield between two securities of similar maturity but different credit quality) and a decline in price of the issuer’s securities.
The Portfolios may invest a portion of their assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage securities, including residential mortgages. The value of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in the interest rates.
The Portfolios may also invest in CMOs. These multiple class securities may be mortgage-related securities issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, including the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. In general, CMOs represent direct ownership interests in a pool of residential mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities (the “Mortgage Assets”), the payments on which are used to make payments on the CMOs. Investors may purchase beneficial interests in CMOs, which are known as “regular” interests or “residual” interests. The Portfolios may not purchase residual interests, but may purchase other types of interests. Each class of a CMO, often referred to as a “tranche,” is issued at a specific adjustable or fixed interest rate and must be fully retired no later than its final distribution date. Principal prepayments on the Mortgage Assets underlying a CMO may cause some or all of the classes of the CMO to be retired substantially earlier than its final distribution date. The principal of and interest on the Mortgage Assets may be allocated among several classes of a CMO in various ways.
Note 8. Pandemic Risk
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused financial markets to experience significant volatility and uncertainty exists as to its long term impact. The coronavirus has resulted in closing borders, quarantines, disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, as well as general concern and economic uncertainty. Although vaccination against COVID-19 has reduced the pandemic’s spread and certain sectors of the economy have recovered, the impact of COVID-19 and its variants may last for an extended period of time. The impact of epidemics and pandemics such as COVID-19 could affect the economies of many nations, individual companies and the market in general in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen at the present time. As a result, a Portfolio’s performance and the ability to achieve its investment objective may be adversely impacted. Management continues to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on the financial position and operating results of the Portfolios.
Note 9. Subsequent Events
On March 24, 2022, the Ultra-Short Duration Portfolio and Short Duration Portfolio renewed the Credit Facility with U.S. Bank (as renewed, the “New Credit Facility”). The terms of the New Credit Facility, including the $500,000,000 borrowing limit and interest rate calculation, are substantially identical to those governing the Credit Facility. Unless renewed, the New Credit Facility will terminate on March 23, 2023.
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Portfolios through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that, aside from the foregoing, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financials statements.

Additional Information (Unaudited)
Tax Information
For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021, the Portfolios had no long-term capital gain distributions.
Expenses – Six Months Ended February 28, 2022.
As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, administration fees and other Portfolio expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from September 1, 2021 through February 28, 2022.
Actual Expenses – The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual 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 entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account for this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes – The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolios’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the 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 Portfolios and other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples 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. As a shareholder of the Portfolios, you do not incur any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees, but shareholders of other funds may incur such costs. The second 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 whose shareholder may incur transaction costs.

TRUST FOR CREDIT UNIONS
Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
The Trust has adopted and implemented a written Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, on behalf of the Portfolios. The Program seeks to assess, manage and review each Portfolio’s Liquidity Risk. “Liquidity Risk” is defined as the risk that a Portfolio could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Portfolio without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interest in the Portfolio.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees has appointed the Adviser to be the Program administrator (the “Program Administrator”). Among other things, Rule 22e-4 requires that the Program Administrator provide a written report to the Board on an annual basis that addresses the operation of the Program and assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of its implementation, including the operation of the Highly Liquidity Investment Minimum (“HLIM”) established for a Portfolio, if any, and any material changes to the Program (the “Report”).
At a meeting held on October 26, 2021, the Board received and reviewed the annual Report of the Program Administrator concerning the operation of the Program for the period from June 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (the “Period”). The Report summarized the operation of the Program and the information and factors considered by the Program Administrator in reviewing the adequacy of the effectiveness of the implementation of the Program with respect to each Portfolio. The Report noted that there were no material changes to the Program during the Period, the Portfolios primarily held highly liquid assets (investments that the Portfolio anticipates can be converted to cash within 3 business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value), none of the Portfolios had breached the 15% maximum illiquid security threshold (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investment significantly changing the market value of the investment), and that the Portfolios were not required to set a HLIM. The Report concluded that the Program is appropriately designed, implemented and is effectively operating to assess and manage each Portfolio’s liquidity risk within the compliance parameters of Rule 22e-4 during the Reporting Period.
