Getting off the Bench(mark)
The recent NCAA college basketball tournaments remind us that players regularly come off the bench to give their teams an extra boost. Many fixed income investors seem focused on capturing the benchmark rate of return yet are failing to acknowledge that on-the-run1 credit spreads are very tight and may be undercompensating for risk.2 In this market, with all of its uncertainties, it is imperative that credit investors get off the bench and find better ways to invest in fixed income. Moreover, just as in basketball, this market will require both a strong defense, to protect capital, and an offense ready to identify and take advantage of scoring opportunities.
Fewer scoring opportunities – As shown above, credit spreads are near historic lows and, as a percentage of the total yield,3 at their lowest level since the first half of 2007. Assuming everything goes according to the game plan, debt investors’ expected return is

highly correlated to U.S. Treasuries of similar maturity with little value associated with underwriting credit risk. This creates a conundrum for investors with disparate outcomes depending on the economy:
| • | Robust economy – Inflation may reignite causing rates to rise and bond prices to fall. |
| • | “Soft Landing” – Investors’ returns are similar to movement in Treasury rates. |
| • | Weaker Economy – Credit spreads widen, likely causing corporate bond prices to fall. |
Taking a more granular view, the table above shows the distribution of credit spreads for the lowest quality investment grade bonds (BBB) and the highest quality junk bonds (BB) over the last twenty years. Currently, BBB credit spreads are, on average, 117 basis points, lower than the average BBB credit spread in 92% of the monthly periods since 2/29/04.C Concurrently, BB credit spreads are lower than the level seen in 97% of the quarterly periods since 2004. Some high yield strategists have been pointing to the lowest quality performing segment, CCC-rated bonds, as an opportunity. However, investing in such low-quality credit requires a “full court press”, a thorough examination of all aspects of the investment, in the hope of uncovering these mispriced opportunities overlooked by the rest of the market. At this point in the cycle, we have our doubts. A high yield salesperson who we respect and have known for over 25 years recently asked: “Can you guys do emerging markets? That’s what all my distressed guys are doing because they can’t find anything here.” As none of our funds include emerging markets in their mandate and it is outside our core expertise, we will just stay in our lane without FOMO.4
________________
The best offense is a good defense – Outperformance over the next year may be more a function of playing defense, defending one’s capital, than going on offense and seeking to make a high-flying slam dunk – in low quality high yield or in emerging markets – every time down the court. Since 1Q22, when the Fed began raising rates to combat inflation, the number of new Chapter 11 filings in the U.S. has more than doubled. Elevated rates are stressing companies that have high levels of debt and are giving “sticker shock” to those that are financed with floating rate debt and/or must go to the high yield market to refinance. The higher cost of debt is largely a function of elevated underlying interest rates5 as credit spreads, as discussed above, are tight, not yet reflecting the rise in credit risk suggested by the increase in total Chapter 11 filings. Recently, we have seen a surge in new issuance of investment grade, high yield and syndicated bank debt as companies strive to take advantage of tight credit spreads while pushing out their maturities, despite higher interest rates. This may turn out to be a prudent move by corporate treasurers.
The clock is not your friend – Down five points with 15 seconds remaining on the clock, your team is likely to lose the game. For stressed companies and their bondholders, upcoming maturities may be the final buzzer. Reaching for yield in short maturity paper of stressed credits can be a dangerous play; longer-dated maturities of the same issuer trading at a substantial discount to par are often the tip-off. We refer to this activity as “Merry-Go-Round Investing.” Effectively, the short maturity investor is betting that they will get off the merry-go-round before time runs out. In March, two large European issuers,

Intrum and Altice France, indicated that it may be difficult for them to pay off bonds maturing in 2024 and 2025 and needed to begin discussions with bondholders regarding a broader restructuring. Per the graph above, the announcement by Altice France’s management precipitated a sharp drop in the price for its 2025 secured bond and the company’s pari-passu 2028 bond which was already trading at a significant discount, suggesting distress. Nothing like a 10-point drop in your short-term bond to make you queasy, realizing that you stayed on the merry-go-round too long.
Protect the ball – Do you want to invest at the top of the capital structure, the middle, or the bottom? As shown above, if defense, protection of capital, is a priority, investing in senior secured debt has provided the greatest level of safety, as demonstrated by the average recovery rate for distressed instruments, in the high yield market. That said, investors’ demand for yield may be over-riding their interest in safety. In a recent Jefferies research report,G a comparison of the yield for pairs of secured and unsecured instruments issued by the same company revealed that, in some cases, investors were willing to give up the benefits of a secured claim and significantly lower leverage in order to capture as little as 6 basis points of incremental yield. A recent Barclays studyH goes further, concluding that bond-level issue selection provides an enhancement to issuer selection in the context of actively managed fixed income portfolios. They go on to show that bonds of the same issuer may perform differently depending on their priority in the capital structure, issue size and market liquidity, variance in covenant protection, position in the maturity schedule, etc. Moreover, Barclays demonstrates that, after normalizing for several factors,6 the potential to generate alpha via issue selection is greatest for lower quality bonds, particularly those rated CCC/Caa, where bond-specific factors drive greater variance in outcome. As bottom-up, value-driven investors we are fully aware of the benefits of issue and issuer selection.

You make your own luck by being prepared – With interest rates having fallen from their peak and a wide-open corporate bond market, we appear to be at the beginning of a resurgence in M&A after a very slow 2023. According to Morgan Stanley, globally listed non-financial corporations hold in excess of $5.6 trillion in cash and private equity investors have over $2.5 trillion of “dry powder” ready to be deployed into acquisitions.
J Given that interest rates remain relatively high, the buyers are more likely to be corporations. However, if we see a decline in interest rates, we may also see a rise in acquisition activity among private equity sponsors. There are several ways that M&A can factor into event-driven credit investing. For instance, as shown above, bond prices for BBB and BB high yield bonds are, on average, trading below 100. An announcement that a high yield issuer is being acquired by an investment grade company would usually cause the target’s bonds to quickly jump up toward 100 and, possibly, above par to trade in line with acquiror’s bonds if it seems likely that that bond will remain outstanding after the merger is effective. Alternatively, the acquisition may trigger a change-of-control provision in a bond indenture allowing bondholders to demand repayment (usually at a price of 101) when the deal is completed. Although such terms are far more common in high yield bonds where 88% of indentures include this covenant, 28% of investment grade bonds (mostly among BBB bonds) also include them.
K Thus, given the large cohort of corporate bonds trading below par, a rise in acquisition activity may be a catalyst for significant upside. We are on the lookout for high quality debt, with change-of-control “puts”
7, of potential acquisition targets trading at benchmark yields with the hope that we get lucky. Conversely, bonds that lack change-of-control covenants, often investment grade credits, are at risk of a sudden price decline if the issuer is acquired by a high yield credit or a private equity sponsor who intends to add leverage and leave the bonds outstanding – sometimes called “screwing the bondholder” for the benefit of shareholders.
________________
7 | A change-of-control “put” would give the bondholder the ability to put the bond to the issuer i.e. require it to repay the bond upon completion of the issuer’s sale, subject to specified conditions. |
Anticipate where the ball is going – According to Goldman Sachs,M a record high 78% of high yield capital raised year-to-date in 2024 has been used to refinance upcoming maturities. Meanwhile, as noted above, a significant portion of the high yield bond market is trading at a discount to par due to the rise in interest rates. Thus, the YTW for a bond, which equals the yield-to-maturity (YTM) for bonds trading below par, may be understating the likely yield to be realized for a given bond if one anticipates it being repaid before the bond “goes current”, one year before maturity. Typically, companies prefer to refinance their debt at least one year prior to maturity to avoid showing a large block of current debt on their balance sheet, which might raise concerns for their auditors. As such, one of our approaches has been to focus on bonds and loans based on their “yield-to-go-current”, anticipating an early refinancing. According to Barclays,N high yield bonds that are repaid 12 months prior to maturity capture, on average, 45 basis points of incremental yield over the market’s average YTM.
Due to the inversion of the yield curve, some companies have an arbitrage opportunity to refinance their short-dated maturities via defeasance. By issuing long term debt and using the proceeds to invest in money market securities and U.S. Treasuries set aside to defease outstanding short-term debt, they are able to take advantage of high short-term rates while successfully pushing out their debt maturities. In these cases, we sometimes find attractive opportunities to invest in short-term high yield bonds that are fully collateralized by cash alternatives.
Rebounding turns into scoring opportunities – The rise in defaults and restructurings in 2023 and 2024 is presenting us with opportunities for rebounds as we often find that post-reorg debt can be attractive. Taking a “time out” during restructuring, companies will often aggressively cut costs, refine their business plans and, most importantly, reduce leverage. The financial restructuring, either in or out of court, often leads to the exchange of new debt for old or the issuance of new debt to repay creditors and fund the company following the reorganization. Typically, this new debt, crafted by vulture investors and restructuring professionals, has tight covenant packages designed to control the company’s cash flow and prevent further distress. Because the credit is tainted by its troubled history, the investor base for post-reorg debt is often limited, leading to higher coupons. Also, following a restructuring, many lenders, including CLOs and hedge funds, who have received new debt in exchange for their pre-reorg claims, become “un-natural holders”, primed to sell. We often find these investment candidates attractive as, once the restructuring has been completed, the company has a better, cleaner capital structure, giving it a fresh start.
There are good players overseas – Having been involved in the Nordic high yield market since the mid-2000s, we have developed our knowledge base and found opportunities in bonds with better credit metrics, higher yields and better covenants than we find in the U.S. high yield market. By comparison to the U.S. market which has approximately $1.4 tn in bonds outstanding, the Nordic market is tiny, but growing fast, from less than €14.0 bn in 2007 to over €56.0 bn in 2023. So far, we have found sufficient new issuance activity and secondary market liquidity to justify our participation in this market. With respect to yield, the graph above shows that the average credit spread for Nordic high yield bonds has been consistently higher than the option-adjusted spread of the ICE BofA US High Yield Index, on average by 211 basis points, since early 2018. In its earlier days, the Nordic market was highly concentrated in oil & gas and shipping but is much more diverse today. Shipping represents about 7% of the market and oil & gas represents approximately 16%.Q The typical Nordic high yield credit has lower net leverage than we find in the U.S. Nordic bonds generally have 3- to 5-year maturities, are floating rate, are secured by assets and provide strong bondholder protections including debt incurrence and dividend limitations and, sometimes, maintenance requirements (e.g. minimum liquidity). The Nordic bond market reminds us of the leveraged loan market of the early 1990s when investors achieved significantly better returns with less risk than the leveraged loans we see today.
*Dry Powder is defined as cash, cash equivalents, pre-merger SPACs, and maturities of 90 days or less
Positioning is critical – The table above provides some key metrics reflecting portfolio positioning at quarter end. We continue to take advantage of the inverted yield curve, favoring the high income from the short end of the curve rather than speculating on the timing and magnitude of Fed rate cuts for an uncertain total return. As part of our defensive strategy, we are emphasizing investments higher up in the capital structure and foreign corporate debt. In our 4Q23 letter, we discussed the potential for volatility in the markets due to “a convergence of economic, political, social, and technological transformation.” This view has not changed. Thus, we are actively managing our “dry powder” to remain nimble to take advantage of opportunities should they arise.
We are energized by our fans and encourage our investors to reach out to discuss our strategies in more detail.
There are no slam dunks,

The Funds are offered only to United States residents, and information on the Funds’ website is intended only for such persons. Nothing on the Funds’ website should be considered a solicitation to buy or an offer to sell shares of the Fund in any jurisdiction where the offer or solicitation would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
CrossingBridge mutual funds’ disclosure: mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Because the Funds may invest in ETFs and ETNs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual Funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s and ETN’s shares may trade at a discount to its Net Asset Value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The value of ETN’s may be influenced by the level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity. The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in asset backed, mortgage backed, and collateralized mortgage backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. Investing in commodities may subject the Fund to greater risks and volatility as commodity prices may be influenced by a variety of factors including unfavorable weather, environmental factors, and changes in government regulations. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the NAV per share. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the Fund will ever decrease or that when the Fund seeks to sell shares of a closed-end fund it can receive the NAV of those shares. There are greater risks involved in investing in securities with limited market liquidity.
CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF disclosure: investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in equity securities and warrants of SPACs. Pre-combination SPACs have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking combinations, and the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable combination. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete a combination or that any combination that is completed will be profitable. Unless and until a combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. Government securities, money market securities, and cash. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a combination. Some SPACs may pursue combinations only within certain industries or
regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. The Fund may invest in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S., including, but not limited to, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Virgin Islands. Investments in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S. may involve risks not generally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. SPACs, such as risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices. Further, tax treatment may differ from U.S. SPACs and securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Smaller capitalization SPACs will have a more limited pool of companies with which they can pursue a business combination relative to larger capitalization companies. That may make it more difficult for a small capitalization SPAC to consummate a business combination. Because the Fund is non-diversified it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. The Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), which are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s and ETN’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the
exchange in which they trade, which may impact the Fund’s ability to sell the shares. The value of ETNs may be influenced by the level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity. The Fund may invest in derivative securities, which derive their performance from the performance of an underlying asset, index, interest rate or currency exchange rate. Derivatives can be volatile and involve various types and degrees of risks, and, depending upon the characteristics of a particular derivative, suddenly can become illiquid. Investments in asset-backed, mortgage-backed, and collateralized mortgage-backed securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. The Fund invests in equity securities and warrants of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). Pre-combination SPACs have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase negotiation or similar business combination (a “Combination”), and the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable Combination. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete a Combination or that any Combination that is completed will be profitable. Unless and until a Combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. government securities, money market securities, and cash. Public stockholders of SPACs may not be afforded a meaningful opportunity to vote on a proposed initial Combination because certain stockholders, including stockholders affiliated with the management of the SPAC, may have sufficient voting power, and a financial incentive, to approve such a transaction without support from public stockholders. As a result, a SPAC may complete a Combination even though a majority of its public stockholders do not support such a Combination. Some SPACs may pursue Combinations only within certain industries or regions, which may increase the volatility of their prices. The Fund may invest in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S., including, but not limited to, Canada, the Cayman Islands, Bermuda and the Virgin Islands. Investments in SPACs domiciled or listed outside of the U.S. may involve risks not generally associated with investments in the securities of U.S. SPACs, such as risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices. Further, tax treatment may differ from U.S. SPACs and securities may be subject of foreign withholding taxes. Smaller capitalization SPACs will have a more limited pool of companies with which they can pursue a business combination relative to larger capitalization companies. That may make it more difficult for a small capitalization SPAC to consummate a business combination.

CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund
(Unaudited)
The 2023-2024 fiscal semi-annual period for the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund (CBRDX; the “Fund”) covers the six-month period of October 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. During this period, the Fund gained 4.97% on its Institutional Class shares while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index gained 8.68%, the ICE BofA U.S. Corporate Index gained 7.83% and the ICE BofA 3-7 Year U.S. Treasury Index gained 3.85%.
Monthly investment results for the fiscal period ranged from 0.26% in October 2023 to 1.70.% in December 2023. The Fund generated positive returns for the six months during the fiscal period. The median monthly return for the period was 0.66% with an annualized standard deviation of 1.78%.
The total return for the period was higher. The Fund had positive contributions from interest income and had realized and unrealized gains during the period. The NAV increased from $9.37 on September 30, 2023 to $9.47 on March 31, 2024 and the Fund distributed $0.37 during the period.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Past performance does not guarantee future results.
The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 act, therefore allowing the Fund to be more concentrated than a diversified fund. Because the Fund is non-diversified it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if it were a diversified fund. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. Current fund statistics may not be indicative of future positioning.
Fund holdings and sector allocation are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please see the Schedule of Investments for complete Fund holdings.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Fund may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. The Fund’s focus on sustainability considerations (ESG criteria) may limit the number of investment opportunities available to
the Fund, and as a result, at times, the Fund may underperform funds that are not subject to similar investment considerations. The Fund invests in equity securities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”), which raise assets to seek potential business combination opportunities. Unless and until a business combination is completed, a SPAC generally invests its assets in U.S. government securities, money market securities, and cash. Because SPACs have no operating history or ongoing business other than seeking a business combination, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity’s management to identify and complete a profitable business combination. There is no guarantee that the SPACs in which the Fund invests will complete a business combination or that any business combination that is completed will be profitable. The Fund is non-diversified meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in equity securities and warrants of SPACs.

CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Expense Example
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund and RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees (Retail Class Shares only), shareholder servicing plan fees and other Fund expenses. As a shareholder of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Fund’s shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Fund. The Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the respective period disclosed in the following table and held for the entire respective period disclosed in the following table.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Fund in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for each Fund. 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 During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line under each Fund in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, 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. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) | 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 CrossingBridge Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund, the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund, the CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund and RiverPark Strategic Income Fund (collectively, the “Mutual Funds”) and the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF (the “ETF”), each representing a distinct diversified series with its own investment objective and policies within the Trust. |
| |
| The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund is to seek high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund is to seek high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund is to offer a higher yield than cash instruments while maintaining a low duration. The RiverPark Strategic Income Fund seeks high current income and capital appreciation consistent with the preservation of capital. |
| |
| The CrossingBridge Low Duration High Yield Fund commenced investment operations on February 1, 2018. The Fund has registered both Retail Class Shares and Institutional Class Shares. During the period ended March 31, 2024, only the Institutional Class Shares were operational. Both the CrossingBridge Responsible Credit Fund and CrossingBridge Ultra-Short Duration Fund commenced investment operations on June 30, 2021. Both Funds registered only an Institutional Class of shares. |
| |
| The RiverPark Strategic Income Fund was formerly a series of the RiverPark Funds Trust and commenced operations on September 30, 2013 (the “Predecessor Fund”). After the close of business May 12, 2023, the assets of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund, a series of the Trust, in a tax-free reorganization, which was approved by shareholders of the Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”). RiverPark Advisors, LLC previously served as the investment adviser to the Predecessor Fund and Cohanzick Management, LLC served as sub-adviser. Subsequent to the Reorganization, CrossingBridge Advisors, LLC, an affiliate of Cohanzick Management, LLC, serves as the RiverPark Strategic Income Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). |
| |
| The RiverPark Strategic Income Fund offers both Institutional and Retail Class of shares. |
| |
| The investment objective of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF is to provide total returns consistent with the preservation of capital. The ETF commenced investment operations on September 20, 2021. |
| |
| Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid by the Adviser. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The Funds are |

| investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards 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 a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange, including Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”), is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Bank loans are valued at prices supplied by an approved independent pricing service (“Pricing Service”), if available, and otherwise will be valued at the most recent bid quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, based on quotations or prices obtained from one or more broker-dealers known to follow the issue. |
| |
| If the security is listed on more than one exchange, a Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded. Portfolio securities listed on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, 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 is valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices on such day or the security shall be valued at the latest sales price on the “composite market” for the day such security is being valued. The composite market is defined as a consolidation of the trade information provided by national securities and foreign exchanges and over-the-counter markets as published by a Pricing Service. |
| |
| Foreign securities will be priced in their local currencies as of the close of their primary exchange or market or as of the time a Fund calculates its NAV, whichever is earlier. Foreign securities, currencies and other assets denominated in foreign currencies are then translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar, as provided by an approved Pricing Service or reporting agency. All assets denominated in foreign currencies will be converted into U.S. dollars using the applicable currency exchange rates as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. |
| |
| Debt securities, including corporate bonds, bank loans, commercial paper, and short-term debt instruments having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the mean in accordance with prices supplied by an approved 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. Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized using the constant yield method until maturity. |

| Options that are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. |
| |
| Except for contracts maturing in two or fewer days, which are valued at the spot rate, forward currency contracts are valued at the midpoint prices calculated using an interpolation methodology that incorporates foreign-exchange prices obtained from an approved Independent Pricing Service for standard forward-settlement periods, such as one month, three months, six months, and one year. |
| |
| SPAC Founders Shares, received as part of the initial public offering process, will be valued initially in line with the publicly traded warrants, which typically have no value prior to the warrants being separated from the SPAC common shares. Upon a de-SPAC transaction, the valuation of the Founders Shares may be updated to reflect more current circumstances and inputs, including the value of the publicly traded warrants or the value of the publicly traded common shares, and may include a discount to reflect any restrictions associated with the Founders Shares. |
| |
| Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the NAVs of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day. All exchange-traded funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. |
| |
| Investments are held at fair value. If market quotations are not readily available, a security or other asset will be valued at its fair value in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act as determined under the Adviser’s fair value pricing procedures, subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/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 a Fund is accurately priced. The Board of Trustees will regularly evaluate whether the Funds’ fair value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Funds and the quality of prices obtained through the application of such procedures by the Adviser. The Board of Trustees has approved the Adviser as the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. |
| |
| 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 disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below: |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS

| Level 1 – | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. |
| | |
| Level 2 – | Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
| | |
| Level 3 – | Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
| The inputs or 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 March 31, 2024: |

| (b) Foreign Securities and Currency Transactions |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arising from sales of portfolio securities and sales and maturities of short-term securities are reported within realized gain (loss) on investments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arising from changes in the values of investments in securities from fluctuations in exchange rates are reported within unrealized gain (loss) on investments. |
| |
| Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. There may be a possibility of nationalization or expropriation of assets, confiscatory taxation, political or financial instability, and diplomatic developments that could affect the value of a Fund’s investments in certain foreign countries. Since foreign securities normally are |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
| denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of a Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers. |
| |
| |
| |
| The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided. |
| |
| As of and during the six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not have liabilities 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 six months ended March 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax periods since the commencement of operations. |
| |
| (d) Distributions to Shareholders |
| |
| In general, the Mutual Funds will distribute any net investment income monthly and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The ETF will distribute any net investment income annually and any net realized capital gains at least annually. The Funds may make additional distributions if deemed to be desirable during the year. 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. |
| |
| Treatment of income and capital gain distributions for federal income tax purposes may differ from GAAP, primarily due to timing differences in the recognition of income and gains and losses by the Funds. To the extent that these differences are attributable to permanent book and tax accounting differences, they are reclassified in the components of net assets. |
| |
| |
| |
| 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |

| |
| |
| The NAV per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the 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 NYSE is closed for trading. |
| |
| (g) Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses |
| |
| Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of a Fund 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 Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Shareholder servicing fees are currently expensed up to 0.10% of average daily net assets of each Mutual Fund’s Institutional Class shares. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the Mutual Funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means. |
| |
| |
| |
| Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions using the specific identification method for the best tax relief order by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign interest, net of any reclaims, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Any discount or premium on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method. |
| |
| |
| |
| When purchasing participation interests in a loan, a Fund generally has no right to enforce compliance with the terms of the loan agreement with the borrower. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the loan agreement. A Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments, which are contractual obligations for future funding. Unfunded loan commitments represent a future obligation in full, even though a percentage of the notional loan amounts may not be utilized by the borrower. When investing in a loan participation agreement, a Fund has the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender selling the loan agreement and only upon receipt of payments by the lender from the borrower. A Fund may receive a commitment fee based on the undrawn portion of the underlying line of credit portion of a floating rate loan. In certain circumstances, a Fund may receive a penalty fee upon the prepayment of a floating rate loan by a borrower. Fees earned are recorded as a component of interest income or interest expense, respectively, on the Statements of Operations. |

| |
| The Funds may utilize derivative instruments such as options, swaps, futures, forward contracts and other instruments with similar characteristics to the extent that they are consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and limitations. The use of derivatives may involve additional investment risks, including counterparty credit risk, i.e., the risk that a Fund may experience delay in obtaining financial recovery in the event a counterparty experiences financial difficulty. To mitigate this risk, the Adviser will seek to effect derivative transactions with only counterparties that they believe are creditworthy. |
| |
| The Funds have adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Statements of Operations.

| (k) LIBOR |
|
| |
| The London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) is an interest rate average calculated from estimates submitted by the leading banks in London. As of June 30, 2023, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”), as LIBOR administrator, ceased publication of U.S. dollar (“USD”) LIBOR for the most common tenors (overnight and one, three, six and twelve months), and as of December 31, 2021, the IBA had ceased publication of USD LIBOR for the less commonly used tenors of one week and two months as well as all tenors of non-USD LIBOR. Until September 30, 2024, the IBA will continue to publish the one-month, three-month and six-month USD LIBOR tenors using a synthetic methodology that is permanently unrepresentative of the underlying markets such tenors previously sought to measure. Use of the synthetic LIBOR tenors is permitted only for legacy contracts; all new use of synthetic USD LIBOR is prohibited. There remains uncertainty regarding the nature of any replacement rate and the impact of the transition from LIBOR on the Funds and the financial markets generally. The Secured Overnight Funding Rate (“SOFR”) has been selected by a committee established by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to replace LIBOR as a reference rate in the United States. Other countries have undertaken similar initiatives to identify replacement reference rates in their respective markets. The transition from LIBOR could have a significant impact on the financial markets, including increased volatility |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
| and illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates and a reduction in the values of some LIBOR-based investments. The transition to an alternative interest rate may not be orderly, may occur over various time periods or may have unintended consequences. |
| |
| (l) Indemnifications |
| |
| Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. A Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote. |

| In addition, pursuant to a separate investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the ETF, and the Adviser, the Adviser is responsible for managing the ETF in accordance with its investment objectives. For the services it provides the ETF, the ETF pays the Adviser a unitary management fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.80% of the ETF’s average daily net assets. Under this agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the ETF except interest charges on any borrowings, dividends, and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, distribution fees and expenses paid by the ETF under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, and the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser. |

(8) | Creation and Redemption Transactions |
| |
| Shares of the CrossingBridge Pre-Merger SPAC ETF are listed and traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC (the “Exchange”). The ETF issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of shares called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The NAV is determined as of the close of trading (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV of the shares of the Fund will be equal to the ETF’s total assets minus the ETF’s total liabilities divided by the total number of |
CROSSINGBRIDGE FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
| shares outstanding. The NAV that is published will be rounded to the nearest cent; however, for purposes of determining the price of Creation Units, the NAV will be calculated to five decimal places. |
| |
| Only “Authorized Participants” may purchase or redeem shares directly from the ETF. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the ETF. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees. Securities received or delivered in connection with in-kind creates and redeems are valued as of the close of business on the effective date of the creation or redemption. |
| |
| Creation Unit Transaction Fee |
| |
| Authorized Participants will be required to pay to the Custodian a fixed transaction fee (the “Creation Transaction Fee”) in connection with the issuance of Creation Units. The standard Creation Transaction Fee will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the applicable Business Day. The Creation Transaction Fee for the ETF is $300. |
| |
| An additional variable fee of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction may be imposed for cash purchases, nonstandard orders, or partial purchase of Creation Units. For orders comprised entirely of cash, a variable fee of 0.03% of the value of the order will be charged by the ETF. The variable charge is primarily designed to cover additional costs (e.g., brokerage, taxes) involved with buying the securities with cash. The ETF may determine to not charge a variable fee on certain orders when the Adviser has determined that doing so is in the best interests of ETF shareholders. |
| |
| A creation unit will generally not be issued until the transfer of good title of the deposit securities to the ETF and the payment of any cash amounts have been completed. To the extent contemplated by the applicable participant agreement, Creation Units of the ETF will be issued to such authorized participant notwithstanding the fact that the ETF’s deposits have not been received in part or in whole, in reliance on the undertaking of the authorized participant to deliver the missing deposit securities as soon as possible. If the ETF or its agents do not receive all of the deposit securities, or the required cash amounts, by such time, then the order may be deemed rejected and the authorized participant shall be liable to the ETF for losses, if any. |

This unsecured line of credit agreement is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions from the Borrowing Funds. The maximum borrowing can not exceed 20% of the gross market value or 33.33% of the net market value of a Borrowing Fund’s unencumbered assets. Interest on amounts borrowed under the line of credit will be accrued at the prime rate. No Fund drew on the line of credit during the six months ended March 31, 2024. |

(13) | Recent Market Events |
| |
| U.S. and international markets have experienced and may continue to experience significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including uncertainty regarding inflation and central banks’ interest rate increases, the possibility of a national or global recession, trade tensions, political events, the war between Russia and Ukraine, significant conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East, and the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic. The impact of COVID-19 may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have an adverse effect on the performance of the Funds. |
