Organization
|
Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Convergence Core Plus Fund, Convergence Opportunities Fund and Convergence Market Neutral Fund (each, a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) represent distinct diversified series with their own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of the Convergence Core Plus Fund and Convergence Opportunities Fund is long-term capital growth. The investment objective of the Convergence Market Neutral Fund is positive absolute returns. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The assets of the Funds are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Convergence Core Plus Fund became effective on December 29, 2009 and commenced operations on December 29, 2009 and January 31, 2013 for the Institutional Class and Investment Class shares, respectively. The Convergence Opportunities Fund became effective November 29, 2013 and commenced operations on November 29, 2013 for the Institutional Class shares. As of the date of this report, the Investment Class shares of the Convergence Opportunities Fund have not commenced operations. The Convergence Market Neutral Fund became effective January 29, 2016 and commenced operations on January 29, 2016 for the Institutional Class shares. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the distribution fees, and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid by Convergence Investment Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”), the Funds’ investment adviser.
|
|
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services–Investment Companies.”
|
|
(2)
|
Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
|
|
(a)
Investment Valuation
|
|
Each security owned by the Funds, including long and short positions of common stock and real estate investment trusts, that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will use the price of the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded.
|
Fund securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security shall be valued at, (i) the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day or (ii) the last sales price on the Composite Market. “Composite Market” means a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets, as published by a pricing service (“Pricing Service.”).
|
|
Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by a Pricing Service. Pricing Services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and the asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. If a price is not available from a Pricing Service, the most recent quotation obtained from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue will be obtained. Quotations will be valued at the mean between the bid and the offer. In the absence of available quotations, the securities will be priced at fair value.
|
|
Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day.
|
|
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual fair market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced.
|
|
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic 820 (“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. ASC 820 requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for each class of investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
Level 1—
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
|
|
Level 2—
|
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
|
|
Level 3—
|
Significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments carried at fair value as of November 30, 2016:
|
The Funds did not hold any investments during the period ended November 30, 2016 with significant unobservable inputs which would be classified as Level 3. During the period ended November 30, 2016, there were no transfers between levels for the Funds. It is the Funds’ policy to record transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. The Funds did not hold financial derivative instruments during the reporting period.
|
|
(b)
Short Positions
|
|
The Funds may sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which a fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale. For financial statement purposes, an amount equal to the settlement amount is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the short positions. Subsequent fluctuations in the market prices of the securities sold, but not yet purchased, may require purchasing the securities at prices which could differ from the amount reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Funds are liable for any dividends or interest payable on securities while those securities are in a short position. Such amounts are recorded on the ex-dividend date as a dividend expense, and interest expense is accrued daily. As collateral for its short positions, the Funds are required under the 1940 Act to maintain segregated assets consisting of cash, cash equivalents or liquid securities. The segregated assets are valued consistent with Note 2a above. The amount of segregated assets are required to be adjusted daily to the extent additional collateral is required based on the change in fair value of the securities sold short. The Funds’ securities sold short and deposits for short sales are held with one major securities broker-dealer. The Funds do not require this broker-dealer to maintain collateral in support of the receivable for proceeds on securities sold short.
|
|
(c)
Security Loans
|
|
When the Funds loan securities held in their portfolios, the Funds receive compensation in the form of fees, or retain a portion of the interest on the investment of any cash received as collateral. The Funds also continue to receive dividends on the securities loaned. The loans are secured by collateral at least equal to: (i) 105% of the market value of the loaned securities that are foreign securities, or 102% of the market value of any other loaned securities, at the time the securities are loaned; and (ii) 100% of the market value of the loaned securities at all times. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
|
|
(d)
Federal Income Taxes
|
|
The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to their shareholders
|
sufficient to relieve them from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
|
|
As of and during the period ended November 30, 2016, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended November 30, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
|
|
(e)
Distributions to Shareholders
|
|
The Funds will distribute any net investment income and any net capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.
|
|
(f)
Use of Estimates
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
(g)
Share Valuation
|
|
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the fair value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or 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 Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The Funds do not charge a redemption fee, and therefore the offering and redemption price per share are equal to a Fund’s net asset value per share.
|
|
(h)
Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses
|
|
Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the applicable Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Distribution and service (12b-1) fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investment Class shares of each Fund. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
|
(i)
Other
|
|
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions on the identified cost basis by comparing original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income and expense is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividend income from real estate investment trusts (REITs) is recognized on the ex-date and included in dividend income. The calendar year-end classification of distributions received from REITs during the fiscal year are reported subsequent to year end; accordingly, the Funds estimate the character of REIT distributions based on the most recent information available and adjust for actual classifications in the calendar year the information is reported.

Federal Tax Matters
|
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2015 was as follows:
|
The Convergence Core Plus Fund designated as short-term and long-term capital gain dividend, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3), the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Fund related to net capital gain to zero for the tax year ended November 30, 2016. The Convergence Core Plus Fund utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividend paid deduction. The amount designated as short-term and long-term capital gain for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:
|
As of November 30, 2016, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

|
The tax basis of distributable earnings for tax and financial reporting purposes differs principally due to the deferral of losses on wash sales, transfers in-kind, and straddle adjustments for the Funds.
|
|
At November 30, 2016, the Funds had the following capital losses remaining, which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. To the extent the Funds realize future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be first offset by any unused capital loss carryovers from the year ended November 30, 2016.

Income and capital gains distributions may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses by the Funds. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, the components of net assets have been adjusted.
|

On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following adjustments were made for permanent tax adjustments:

|
The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
|
|

Securities Lending
|
Following terms of a securities lending agreement with the Funds custodian, the Funds may lend securities from its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions in order to increase the return on its portfolio, primarily through the receipt of borrowing fees and earnings on invested collateral. Any such loan must be continuously secured by collateral in cash or cash equivalents maintained on a current basis in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned by a Fund. During the time securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the applicable Fund any accrued income on those securities, and the Fund may invest the cash collateral and earn income or receive an agreed-upon fee from a borrower that has delivered cash-equivalent collateral. In determining whether or not to lend a security to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, the Adviser considers all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the broker, relevant factsdealer or financial institution.
|
|
Securities lending involves the risk of a default or insolvency of the borrower. In either of these cases, a Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities. A Fund also could lose money in the event of a decline in the value of the collateral provided for loaned securities. Additionally, the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and that Fund may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. Any decline in the value of a security that occurs while the security is out on loan would continue to be borne by the applicable Fund.
|
|
As of November 30, 2016, the market value of the securities on loan and value of collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

The Funds receive cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in the First American Government Obligations Fund – Class Y (a money market fund subject to Rule 2a-7
|
under the 1940 Act). The Schedules of Investments for the Funds include the particular cash collateral holding as of November 30, 2016. The remaining contractual maturity of all securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous.
|
|
The Funds are not subject to a master netting agreement with respect to securities lending; therefore no additional disclosures are required.
|
|
The fee and interest income earned by the Funds on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them are reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

Regulatory Updates
|
In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.
