(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Short-Term Government/Corporate Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues, including government and corporate securities, with maturities less than one year. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities which involve additional risks such as political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which include interest rate and prepayment risks more pronounced than those of other fixed income securities. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities which involve additional risks such as political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which include interest rate and prepayment risks more pronounced than those of other fixed income securities. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Baird Short-Term Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited) (cont.)
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report. See the Fund’s Valuation Policy in Note 2a to the financial statements.

The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities which involve additional risks such as political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which include interest rate and prepayment risks more pronounced than those of other fixed income securities. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Baird Intermediate Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited) (cont.)
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues, including government, corporate, asset-backed, mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund maintains securities with longer maturities in order to provide a greater potential for return. Generally, the longer a bond’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities which involve additional risks such as political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which include interest rate and prepayment risks more pronounced than those of other fixed income securities. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Baird Aggregate Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of fixed income securities issued in U.S. dollars, including U.S. government and investment grade debt, non-investment grade debt, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, Eurobonds, 144A securities and emerging market debt, with maturities of at least one year. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of debt securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund maintains securities with longer maturities in order to provide a greater potential for return. Generally, the longer a bond’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. The Fund may also invest in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities which involve additional risks such as political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund may also invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities, which include interest rate and prepayment risks more pronounced than those of other fixed income securities. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
Baird Core Plus Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited) (cont.)
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays Short (1-5 Year) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index that measures the performance of investment-grade, tax-exempt, and fixed-rated municipal securities with time to maturity of more than one year and less than five years. Securities must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of debt securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in municipal obligations issued by persons in the same state. As a result, changes in economic, business or political conditions of a particular state may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s share price. Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays 1-10 Year Municipal Blend Index is a market value-weighted index which covers the short and intermediate components of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index—an unmanaged, market value-weighted index which covers the U.S. investment-grade tax-exempt bond market. The 1-10 Year Municipal Blend index tracks tax-exempt municipal General Obligation, Revenue, Insured, and Prerefunded bonds with a minimum $5 million par amount outstanding, issued as part of a transaction of at least $50 million, and with a remaining maturity from 1 up to (but not including) 12 years. The index includes reinvestment of income. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 30% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of debt securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in municipal obligations issued by persons in the same state. As a result, changes in economic, business or political conditions of a particular state may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s share price. Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in U.S. government and corporate bonds and other debt securities that are of the same quality as its investments in municipal bonds. These bonds produce income that is taxable for federal income tax purposes, unlike municipal bonds which generally provide income exempt from federal income tax.
The Fund may also invest in U.S. Treasury futures contracts. Futures contracts are subject to the risk of loss caused by unanticipated market movements, the risk that there may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of futures contracts and the value of their underlying instruments or indexes, and the risk there may not be a liquid secondary market for them. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments and futures contracts as of June 30, 2020:
Long-Term Investments | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in municipal obligations issued by persons in the same state. As a result, changes in economic, business or political conditions of a particular state may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s share price. Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report. See the Fund’s Valuation Policy in Note 2a to the financial statements.

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays (1-15 Year) Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment-grade, tax-exempt, and fixed-rate securities with maturities between 1 and 17 years. Securities must have an outstanding par value of at least $7 million and be issued as part of a transaction of at least $75 million. The bonds must be fixed rate, have a dated-date after December 31, 1990, and must be at least one year from their maturity date. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of debt securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in municipal obligations issued by persons in the same state. As a result, changes in economic, business or political conditions of a particular state may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s share price. Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

(2) | The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is considered representative of the broad market for investment grade, tax-exempt bonds with a maturity of at least one year. The index has four main sectors: state and local general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds and prerefunded bonds. This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The Fund’s gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in non-investment grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “high yield” bonds). While these types of debt securities typically offer higher yields than investment grade securities, they also include greater risks including increased credit risk and the increased risk of default or bankruptcy. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in municipal obligations issued by persons in the same state. As a result, changes in economic, business or political conditions of a particular state may have a disproportionate impact on the Fund’s share price. Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates.
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in U.S. government and corporate bonds and other debt securities that are of the same quality as its investments in municipal bonds. These bonds produce income that is taxable for federal income tax purposes, unlike municipal bonds which generally provide income exempt from federal income tax. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Baird Municipal Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report. See the Fund’s Valuation Policy in Note 2a to the financial statements.

Additional Information on Fund Expenses
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, such as management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. Although the Funds do not charge any sales loads, redemption fees, or other transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund 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 (1/1/20 – 6/30/20).
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following tables provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 fourth column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The fifth and sixth columns of the following tables provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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. Therefore, the sixth column of the tables (entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. On June 30, 2020, entities affiliated with the Advisor held 41% of the Baird Municipal Bond Fund.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
a) | Investment Valuation – Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, together with the rules and interpretations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), require the Funds, in computing net asset value, to value their portfolio securities using market quotations when they are “readily available.” When market quotations are not readily available (e.g., because there is no regular market quotation for such securities, the market for such security is limited, the validity of quotations is questionable or the Funds’ independent pricing service does not provide a price), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation must value the securities at “fair value determined in good faith.” The Board has delegated such responsibility to the Advisor pursuant to pricing policies and procedures that the Board has adopted and regularly reviews. In general, the “fair value” of a security means the price that would be received to sell a security in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |
| |
| The Funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute their net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 p.m. ET). |
| |
| Consistent with Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Funds price their securities as follows: debt securities are valued at their evaluated bid prices as provided by an independent pricing service using valuation methods that are designed to represent fair value, such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, market transactions and dealer quotations. Debt securities purchased with maturities of 60 days or less are valued as described above unless an evaluated price is not available, in which case such security is valued at acquisition cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium (“amortized cost”), or, if the Advisor does not believe amortized cost is reflective of the fair value of the security, the security is priced at fair value as described below. Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their stated net asset value (“NAV”). Common stocks that are listed on a securities exchange (other than NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sales price. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Price information on listed stocks is taken |
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Securities that were not traded on the valuation date, as well as stocks that are not listed on an exchange, including NASDAQ, are valued at the average of the current bid and ask price. Other assets and securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board. In accordance with such procedures, the Advisor may, under certain circumstances, use alternative valuation methodologies, or it may use broker quotes or prices obtained from alternative independent pricing services or, if broker quotes or prices from alternative pricing services are unavailable or deemed to be unreliable, fair value will be determined by a valuation committee of the Advisor. In determining fair value, the valuation committee takes into account factors deemed relevant by the valuation committee and available information. Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining a security’s fair value. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine. The prices determined for any individual security on any given day may vary significantly from the amount that can be obtained in an actual sale of that security, and the Funds’ NAVs may fluctuate significantly from day to day or from period to period. |
| |
b) | Securities Purchased on a When-Issued, Delayed Delivery or Forward Commitment Basis – Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. When-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions involve the risk that the price or yield obtained in a transaction may be more or less favorable than the price or yield available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes a commitment to purchase a security, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. Each Fund designates and maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment securities. |
| |
c) | Unregistered Securities – The Funds own certain investment securities which are unregistered. All of the unregistered securities held by the Funds as of June 30, 2020 consist of securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and all have been classified as liquid under the Funds’ liquidity risk management program. |
| |
| The value of such securities for the Funds is as follows: |
| Fund | | Value | | | % of Net Assets | |
| Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund | | $ | 495,818,336 | | | | 19.25 | % |
| Baird Short-Term Bond Fund | | | 2,019,496,482 | | | | 26.84 | % |
| Baird Intermediate Bond Fund | | | 891,416,602 | | | | 18.60 | % |
| Baird Aggregate Bond Fund | | | 4,603,139,170 | | | | 17.05 | % |
| Baird Core Plus Bond Fund | | | 5,310,230,525 | | | | 19.97 | % |
| Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 27,602,046 | | | | 2.37 | % |
| Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 1,133,096 | | | | 2.67 | % |
| Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund | | | 10,450,067 | | | | 0.75 | % |
| Baird Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund | | | 15,967,446 | | | | 2.64 | % |
| Baird Municipal Bond Fund | | | 587,318 | | | | 4.52 | % |
d) | Foreign Securities – For purposes of these financial statements, foreign securities are defined as securities of issuers that are organized outside the United States. The Funds may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign companies and foreign governments. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include foreign currency fluctuations, political and economic instability and differences in financial reporting standards and less strict regulation of securities markets. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may |
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur after the close of the exchange on which such securities are traded. If such events materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. |
| |
e) | Financial Derivative Instruments – Financial derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, derive their value from underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates and other inputs or a combination of these factors. These contracts are normally valued on the basis of broker- dealer quotations or a pricing service at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Depending on the product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a pricing service provider using a series of techniques, including simulation pricing models. The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price and are generally categorized in Level 1. |
| |
f) | Deposits with Broker – When trading derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, a Fund is only required to post initial or variation margin with the exchange or clearing broker. The use of margin in trading these instruments has the effect of creating leverage, which can expose the Fund to substantial gains or losses occurring from relatively small price changes in the value of the underlying instrument and can increase the volatility of the Fund’s returns. Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns of an investment, where higher volatility generally indicates greater risk. |
| |
| Upon entering into a futures contract, and to maintain the Fund’s open positions in futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit with its custodian or futures broker in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, suitable money market instruments, or other liquid securities, known as “initial margin.” The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margins that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded. |
| |
| At June 30, 2020, the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund had $19,039 in cash and cash equivalents on deposit with the broker for futures contracts which is presented on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. |
| |
| If the price of an open futures contract changes (by increase in underlying instrument or index in the case of a sale or by decrease in the case of a purchase) so that the loss on the futures contract reaches a point at which the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, the broker will require an increase in the margin. However, if the value of a position increases because of favorable price changes in the futures contract so that the margin deposit exceeds the required margin, the broker will pay the excess to the Fund. |
| |
| These subsequent payments, called “variation margin,” to and from the futures broker are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuate making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable, a process known as “marking to the market.” At period end, the variation margin is shown as either a receivable or payable on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Fund expects to earn interest income on any margin deposits. |
| |
g) | Income Tax Status – The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies as provided in subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders in a manner which results in no tax expense to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. |
| |
| There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax return for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of December 31, 2019, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2019. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly |
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| change in the next 12 months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest and other expense, respectively, in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. |
| |
h) | Allocation of Income and Expenses – Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class of shares. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on their respective net assets. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds in the series in proportion to their assets or are divided equally amongst the Funds. |
| |
i) | Shareholder Transactions and Distributions – Shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. All distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The book basis character of distributions may differ from their ultimate characterization for Federal income tax purposes. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts. |
| |
j) | 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. |
| |
k) | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions using the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as interest income on the Statements of Operations for financial reporting purposes. |
| |
l) | Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
| |
m) | New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform: Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The main objective of ASU 2020-04 is to provide relief to companies that will be impacted by the expected change in benchmark interest rates at the end of 2021, when participating banks will no longer be required to submit London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) quotes by the UK Financial Conduct Authority. ASU 2020-04 allows companies to, provided the only change to existing contracts are a change to an approved benchmark interest rate, account for modifications as a continuance of the existing contract without additional analysis. In addition, derivative contracts that qualified for hedge accounting prior to modification, will be allowed to continue to receive such treatment, even if critical terms change due to a change in the benchmark interest rate. For new and existing contracts, the Funds may elect to apply the amendments as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of ASU 2020-04 to the Funds’ financial statements and various filings. |
| |
n) | Other Matters – The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance. |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Additionally, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. Permanent differences are due to equalization, over distributions, and miscellaneous book adjustments. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund generally pays dividends from net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The tax components of distributions paid during the periods shown below were as follows:

The LOC is unsecured at all times and is subject to certain restrictions and covenants. Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for each Fund are limited to one third of the total eligible net assets (including the amount borrowed) of the respective Fund, or $600,000,000 of total borrowings for the Funds comprising the Corporation, whichever is less. U.S. Bank charges interest at the U.S. Prime Rate less 2%, but in no event less than a net rate of 1% per annum. As of June 30, 2020, the Prime Rate was 3.25%. The LOC matures on May 24, 2021, unless renewed. The Corporation has authorized U.S. Bank to charge any of the accounts of the borrowing Fund subject to the agreement for any missed payments.

8. | Other Derivative Information (cont.) |
Management has adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect a Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. Since the derivatives held long or short are for speculative trading purposes, the derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, all realized gains and losses, as well as any change in net unrealized gains or losses on open contracts from the preceding period, are recognized as part of realized and unrealized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
The following table presents the fair value of derivative instruments for the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund as of June 30, 2020 as presented on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities:

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk
Management Program (Unaudited)
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Rule”), Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for each series of the Company (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and to protect Fund shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has appointed Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), the Funds’ investment adviser, as the administrator of the Program. Baird has further delegated administration of the Program to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), consisting of officers of the Funds and senior portfolio managers and the chief risk officer of Baird. The Program requires the Committee to provide an annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of each Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”), if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On February 19, 2020, the Board reviewed the Committee’s annual written report (the “Report”) for the period June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the “review period”). The Report provided a summary of the Committee’s assessment of each Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Committee’s assessment considered each Fund’s liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions using certain factors required by the Rule and the Program, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee. The Report stated that the Funds have retained ICE Data Services (“ICE”), a third party vendor, to provide a liquidity risk classification specified by the Rule (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid) for each portfolio investment held by the Funds, except with respect to any investments that are unclassified by ICE or that are classified by ICE but challenged by Baird, for which classifications are provided by the Committee. The Report also noted that each Fund primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period and that each Fund’s portfolio is expected to continue to primarily hold highly liquid investments. Thus, the Committee concluded in the Report that each Fund is considered a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in the Rule and Program) and each Fund can therefore rely on the exclusion in the Rule from the requirements to establish an HLIM and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a HLIM shortfall. The Report further noted that none of the Funds exceeded the 15% limitation on illiquid investments during the review period and the Company has established procedures to file the Funds’ Forms N-PORT on a timely basis. The Report stated that, while certain clarifying changes had been made to the Program document, no material changes had been made to the Program since the Board’s last approval of the Program.
The Report noted no significant liquidity events or risks impacting any of the Funds. The Committee concluded in the Report that the Program is adequately designed, has been effectively implemented and is operating effectively to manage the liquidity risk of each Fund.

The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund focuses on growth-style stocks and therefore the performance of the Fund will typically be more volatile than the performance of funds that focus on types of stocks that have a broader investment style. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities and ADRs. Foreign investments involve additional risks such as currency rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the stocks of mid-capitalization companies. Mid-capitalization companies often are more volatile and face greater risks than larger, more established companies. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

A direct investment in the index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund focuses on growth-style stocks and therefore the performance of the Fund will typically be more volatile than the performance of funds that focus on types of stocks that have a broader investment style. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities and ADRs. Foreign investments involve additional risks such as currency rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies. Small- and mid-capitalization companies often are more volatile and face greater risks than larger, more established companies. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com. Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability.

The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund focuses on small to mid cap value style stocks and therefore the performance of the Fund may be more volatile than the performance of funds that focus on types of stocks that have a broader investment style. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities and ADRs. Foreign investments involve additional risks such as currency rate fluctuations and the potential for political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies. Small- and mid-capitalization companies often are more volatile and face greater risks than larger, more established companies. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy.

(2) | The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index is a market-capitalization-weighted index maintained by MSCI, Inc. and designed to provide a broad measure of stock performance throughout the world, with the exception of U.S.-based companies. The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index includes both developed and emerging markets. This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in the index is not possible. |
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund focuses on both U.S. and non-U.S. stocks with medium to large market capitalizations and therefore the performance of the Fund may be more volatile than the performance of funds that focus on types of stocks that have a broader investment style. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in non-U.S. companies. Foreign investments involve additional risks such as currency rate fluctuations and the potential for political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. In addition, upon the United Kingdom’s (UK) departure from the European Union on January 31, 2020 following a June 2016 referendum referred to as “Brexit,” the UK entered a transition period until December 31, 2020 during which time a trade deal and other key agreements will be negotiated. There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications, and the range of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes are difficult to predict. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:

The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect the actual performance for each period and do not include the impact of trades executed on the last business day of the period that were recorded on the first business day of the next period.
The gross expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund focuses on both U.S. and non-U.S. stocks with medium to large market capitalizations and therefore the performance of the Fund may be more volatile than the performance of funds that focus on types of stocks that have a broader investment style. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its total assets in non-U.S. companies. Foreign investments involve additional risks such as currency rate fluctuations and the potential for political and economic instability, and different and sometimes less strict financial reporting standards and regulation. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic and related public health issues, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, trade tensions and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. In addition, upon the United Kingdom’s (UK) departure from the European Union on January 31, 2020 following a June 2016 referendum referred to as “Brexit,” the UK entered a transition period until December 31, 2020 during which time a trade deal and other key agreements will be negotiated. There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications, and the range of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes are difficult to predict. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion on changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used in pricing the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources and “unobservable inputs” reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels and described below:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date. |
| |
Level 2 – | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. |
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 Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Equity | | | | | | | | | | | | |

* | Additional information regarding the industry classifications of these investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments. |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of assigned levels within the fair value hierarchy. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the reporting period, as compared to the security classifications from the prior year’s annual report. See the Fund’s Valuation Policy in Note 2a to the financial statements.

Additional Information on Fund Expenses
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, such as management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. With the exception of the Chautauqua International Growth and Chautauqua Global Growth Funds, which charge redemption fees, the Funds do not charge any sales loads, redemption fees or other transaction fees; however, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee.
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund 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 (1/1/20 – 6/30/20).
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following table provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 fourth column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The fifth and sixth columns of the following table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual 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. Therefore, the sixth column of the table (entitled “Expenses Paid During Period”) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated on June 9, 2000, as a Wisconsin corporation and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The accompanying financial statements include the Baird MidCap Fund, the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, the Baird SmallCap Value Fund, the Chautauqua International Growth Fund and the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), six of the sixteen active funds in the series comprising the Corporation. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Funds are “diversified” series of the Corporation. The investment advisor to the Funds is Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”). The Funds are investment companies and therefore follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following table presents the class-specific inception dates for each of the Funds:
| Inception Date |
Fund | Institutional Class | | Investor Class |
Baird MidCap Fund | December 29, 2000 | | December 29, 2000 |
Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | October 31, 2018 | | October 31, 2018 |
Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund | November 30, 2015 | | November 30, 2015 |
Baird SmallCap Value Fund | May 1, 2012 | | May 1, 2012 |
Chautauqua International Growth Fund | April 15, 2016 | | April 15, 2016 |
Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | April 15, 2016 | | April 15, 2016 |
Institutional Class shares are not subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee, while Investor Class shares are subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee up to 0.25%. See Note 7.
The Baird MidCap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies.
The Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies.
The Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies with small-to-medium market capitalizations.
The Baird SmallCap Value Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stocks of companies with small market capitalizations.
The Chautauqua International Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies with medium to large market capitalizations.
The Chautauqua Global Growth Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in equity securities of both U.S. and non-U.S. companies with medium to large market capitalizations.
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. On June 30, 2020, entities affiliated with the Advisor held 62% of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, 56% of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund, 57% of the Baird SmallCap Value Fund, and 38% of the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund. These shareholders included the Baird Foundation.
2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
a) | Investment Valuation – Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, together with the rules and interpretations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) require the Funds, in computing net asset value, to value their portfolio securities using market quotations when they are “readily available.” When market quotations are not readily available (e.g., because there is no regular market quotation for such securities, the market for such security is limited, the validity of quotations is questionable or, for debt securities, the Funds’ independent pricing service does not provide a price), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Corporation must value the securities at “fair value determined in good faith.” The Board has delegated such responsibility to the Advisor pursuant to pricing policies and procedures that the Board has adopted and regularly reviews. In general, the “fair value” of a security means the price that would be received to sell a security in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. |
| |
| The Funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute their net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 p.m. ET). |
| |
| Consistent with Section 2(a)(41) of the 1940 Act, the Funds price their securities as follows: common stocks that are listed on a securities exchange (other than NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sale price. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Price information on listed stocks is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded. Securities that were not traded on the valuation date, as well as stocks that are not listed on an exchange, including NASDAQ, are valued at the average of the current bid and ask price. Debt securities are valued at their evaluated bid prices as provided by an independent pricing service using valuation methods that are designed to represent fair value, such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, market transactions and dealer quotations. Debt securities purchased with maturities of 60 days or less are valued as described above unless an evaluated price is not available, in which case such security is valued at acquisition cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium (“amortized cost”), or, if the Advisor does not believe amortized cost is reflective of the fair value of the security, the security is priced at fair value as described below. Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their stated net asset value (“NAV”). Other assets and securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board. In accordance with such procedures, the Advisor may, under certain circumstances, use alternative valuation methodologies, or it may use broker quotes or prices obtained from alternative independent pricing services or, if broker quotes or prices from alternative pricing services are unavailable or deemed to be unreliable, fair value will be determined by a valuation committee of the Advisor. In determining fair value, the valuation committee takes into account factors deemed relevant by the valuation committee and available information. Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining a security’s fair value. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine. The prices determined for any individual security on any given day may vary significantly from the amount that can be obtained in an actual sale of that security, and the Funds’ NAV may fluctuate significantly from day to day or from period to period. |
| |
| The Chautauqua International Growth and Chautauqua Global Growth Funds have retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Funds calculate their NAVs. The fair value pricing service uses statistical data based on historical performance of securities and markets, and other data in developing factors used to estimate fair value for that day. |

2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
b) | Foreign Securities – For purposes of these financial statements, foreign securities are defined as securities issued by companies that are organized outside the United States. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include foreign currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur after the close of the exchange on which such securities are traded. If such events materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. |
| |
c) | Foreign Currency Translation – Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at date of valuation. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. When a Fund purchases or sells a foreign security, it will customarily enter into a foreign exchange contract to minimize foreign exchange risk from the trade date to the settlement date of such transaction. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held nor currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translations include those gains and losses arising from the sale of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign currency transactions, the differences between the amounts of dividends, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments includes changes in the value of investments resulting from exchange rates. |
| |
d) | Income Tax Status – The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies as provided in subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders in a manner which results in no tax expense to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded. |
| |
| There is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the tax return for the six months ended June 30, 2020, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of June 30, 2020, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2016 through 2019. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense and other expense, respectively, in the Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. |
| |
e) | Shareholder Transactions and Distributions – Shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. All distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The book basis character of distributions may differ from their ultimate characterization for Federal income tax purposes. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts. |
| |
f) | Allocation of Income and Expenses – Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it. Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class of shares. Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on their respective net assets. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds in the series in proportion to their respective assets or are divided equally amongst the Funds. |
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2020 (Unaudited)
2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
g) | 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. |
| |
h) | Securities Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions using the identified cost basis. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date net of withholding taxes, if any, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been accounted for in accordance with the Funds’ interpretation of applicable tax laws of the countries in which they invest. Distributions received from underlying investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be classified as dividends, capital gains or return of capital. |
| |
i) | Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote. |
| |
j) | Other Matters – The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance. |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Additionally, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications are primarily due to differing treatments for equalization accounting for tax purposes, the disallowance of a net operating loss, redesignation of dividends, capital gain distributions received from underlying REIT securities, and the reclassification of foreign currency gains and losses. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund generally pays dividends from net investment income and distributes net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Certain Funds also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Funds did not pay any distributions. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Funds paid the following distributions:
| | Year Ended December 31, 2019 | |

Fund | | Income | | | Capital Gains | | | Total | |
Baird MidCap Fund | | $ | 4,716,248 | | | $ | 111,977,504 | | | $ | 116,693,752 | |

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, serves as transfer agent, administrator, and accounting services agent for the Funds. U.S. Bank, N.A. (“U.S. Bank”) serves as custodian for the Funds.

The Corporation maintains an uncommitted line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank to provide the sixteen Funds comprising the Corporation a temporary liquidity source to meet unanticipated redemptions. The LOC is unsecured at all times and is subject to certain restrictions and covenants. Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for each Fund are limited to one third of the total eligible net assets (including the amount borrowed) of the respective Fund, or $600,000,000 of total borrowings for the Funds comprising the Corporation, whichever is less. U.S. Bank charges interest at the U.S. Prime Rate less 2%, but in no event less than a net rate of 1% per annum. As of June 30, 2020, the Prime Rate was 3.25%. The LOC matures on May 24, 2021, unless renewed. The Corporation has authorized U.S. Bank to charge any of the accounts of the borrowing Fund subject to the agreement for any missed payments.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Funds borrowed from the LOC as follows:
| | Amount | | | Interest Charges | | | Borrowing | |
Fund | | Borrowed | | | Accrued | | | Rate | |
Baird MidCap Fund | | $ | 196,669,000 | | | $ | 30,545 | | | 2.75% |

No other borrowings occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2020 nor were any other borrowings outstanding under the LOC as of June 30, 2020.
7. | Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan |
The Funds have adopted a distribution and shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan allows the Funds to compensate the Distributor for the costs incurred in distributing the Funds’ Investor Class Shares, including amounts paid to brokers or dealers, at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Class Shares.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Funds incurred fees pursuant to the Plan as follows:
Baird MidCap Fund | $185,629 | |
Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | 436 | |
Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund | 608 | |
Baird SmallCap Value Fund | 904 | |
Chautauqua International Growth Fund | 1,797 | |
Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | 2,384 | |
A redemption fee of 2.00% will be assessed on Institutional and Investor Class shares of the Chautauqua International Growth Fund and Chautauqua Global Growth Fund if redeemed (including in connection with an exchange) 90 days or less from their date of purchase, determined on a first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. The redemption fee is paid directly to the Funds and is designed to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs associated with fluctuations in Fund asset levels and cash flow caused by short-term shareholder trading.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk
Management Program (Unaudited)
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Rule”), Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for each series of the Company (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) and to protect Fund shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has appointed Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird”), the Funds’ investment adviser, as the administrator of the Program. Baird has further delegated administration of the Program to its Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the “Committee”), consisting of officers of the Funds and senior portfolio managers and the chief risk officer of Baird. The Program requires the Committee to provide an annual report to the Board regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program, including the operation of each Fund’s highly liquid investment minimum (“HLIM”), if applicable, and any material changes to the Program.
On February 19, 2020, the Board reviewed the Committee’s annual written report (the “Report”) for the period June 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 (the “review period”). The Report provided a summary of the Committee’s assessment of each Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of the remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Committee’s assessment considered each Fund’s liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions using certain factors required by the Rule and the Program, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Committee. The Report stated that the Funds have retained ICE Data Services (“ICE”), a third party vendor, to provide a liquidity risk classification specified by the Rule (highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid or illiquid) for each portfolio investment held by the Funds, except with respect to any investments that are unclassified by ICE or that are classified by ICE but challenged by Baird, for which classifications are provided by the Committee. The Report also noted that each Fund primarily held investments that were classified as highly liquid during the review period and that each Fund’s portfolio is expected to continue to primarily hold highly liquid investments. Thus, the Committee concluded in the Report that each Fund is considered a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in the Rule and Program) and each Fund can therefore rely on the exclusion in the Rule from the requirements to establish an HLIM and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a HLIM shortfall. The Report further noted that none of the Funds exceeded the 15% limitation on illiquid investments during the review period and the Company has established procedures to file the Funds’ Forms N-PORT on a timely basis. The Report stated that, while certain clarifying changes had been made to the Program document, no material changes had been made to the Program since the Board’s last approval of the Program.
The Report noted no significant liquidity events or risks impacting any of the Funds. The Committee concluded in the Report that the Program is adequately designed, has been effectively implemented and is operating effectively to manage the liquidity risk of each Fund.
