Dear Shareholder,
There is no way to sugar coat it. 2022 proved to be an historically difficult environment for bond investors as interest rates rose sharply in response to rising inflation and the US Federal Reserve’s policy actions to combat that inflation. While it certainly was a challenging year, we focused on maintaining layers of liquidity in our Bond Funds and were able to take advantage of attractive opportunities the volatile environment presented.
While the 2022 financial markets challenged nominal returns, we are pleased with the consistency of our work and the performance of the Baird Bond Funds relative to their benchmarks. As we look back on the year, we are reminded of the power of our all-season strategy that produced these results for our Fund investors in a year with a lot of weather, reinforcing our belief that our bottom-up investment approach, focused on the risk control discipline that we pioneered and are known for, remains a prudent path.
We are mindful that we continue to operate in an elevated risk environment and are committed to judicious management of your assets. Our team has never been stronger and we continue to play offense by focusing every day on serving our investors, including ongoing investments in our people and the systems and technology they utilize to deliver results and provide service to you.
While the challenging bond market reduced the Baird Bond Funds’ AUM at year end to $84.7 billion as rates rose and bond prices fell, we are pleased with our investors’ continued use of our products to meet their fixed income needs. As we look ahead, it is our expectation that 2023 will bring some needed relief to bond investors. The increase in rates during 2022 and widening spreads have given all of the Baird Bond Funds attractive income and yield advantages over their respective benchmarks. We will work diligently during 2023 to convert that yield advantage into total return.
We are honored to serve as your fixed income manager and we never lose sight of the fact that our success rests on the trust you have placed in us to be effective stewards of your assets. We are truly grateful for our relationship with you and are committed to delivering competitive performance, exceptional client service and timely and transparent communication to you.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellen Stanek, CFA
President

2022 Bond Market Overview
(Unaudited)
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory (CPI rose from 1.4% to 7.0% on a YoY basis), but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022, peaking in June at 9.1% YoY. By the Spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps (much more than the roughly 80 bps total the Fed and market had anticipated at the start of the year) designed to bring inflation back to its long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes by pushing up rates across the curve. The benchmark 10yr yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished at 3.88%, down modestly from the October intra-year peak of 4.25%. Even greater, 2yr yields rose 369 bps to close the year at 4.43%, resulting in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy (concluded in December). Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude from a peak of $124/bbl to $80/bbl at year end. In addition, the Inflation Reduction Act, named in a nod to voter concerns, was primarily focused on clean energy investments and an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from fixed income funds. Bond funds experienced $331B of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592B), according to ICI data. Short maturity funds, the yields of which are most closely tied to the federal funds rate, bore the brunt of investment grade (“IG”) outflows as over 10% of category assets exited. The High Yield category also lost nearly 12% of total AUM.

Resilient Labor Market Boosts GDP but Impacts of Higher Rates are Emerging
The pace of Fed hikes has been faster and greater than any other tightening in the last 30 years, even without factoring in the reduction of the Fed’s balance sheet (quantitative tightening (QT)). Strong labor conditions provided cover for aggressive tightening as the unemployment rate fell in 2022 from 3.9% to 3.7% and roughly five million people were hired. For many industries, labor was in short supply, particularly in the service sector. Reasons for the labor shortage included: early retirements, long-COVID-19 health challenges, immigration policies and the personal choice of workers. Wage inflation stayed above 5% as employers sought to attract and retain employees. Although US economic growth was sluggish in the first half of the year, contracting in Q1 (-1.6%) and Q2 (-0.6%) without a recession declaration, growth improved in the second half with 3.2% in Q3 and 2.9% in Q4 expected to be above 2.0%. Nonetheless, even with improving growth and a strong labor market, consumer sentiment, as measured by the University of Michigan survey, slipped from 70.6 to 59.7 over the course of the year. Housing contributed to consumer concerns as elevated property prices paired with rising mortgage rates (Freddie Mac 30yr rates rose from 3.11% to 6.41%) negatively impacted housing affordability. The duration of the Agency RMBS sector ended the year at 5.81 years, extending 1.8 years in 2022 when excluding impacts from prepayment model changes, as refinancing opportunities disappeared and prepayments slowed.
Wider Spreads and Elevated Volatility
Spreads widened for all major sectors during 2022. The widening was greatest in HY Corporates (+186 bps) and EM Debt (+106 bps), indicative of risk-asset repricing. IG corporate debt ended the year +38 bps wider. Corporate issuance declined 17% YoY and was the lightest total since 2019. The Financials sector experienced the largest spread widening (+57 bps), driven by a heavy $273B of issuance from US banks (+11% YoY), the highest since the Global Financial Crisis. Agency RMBS widened 20 bps for the year (and was roughly 40 bps factoring in index prepayment model changes), a notable move for a government-sponsored sector, as the Fed transitioned from QE to QT, eliminating an enormous buyer from the market. Non-Agency CMBS widened 84 bps for the year due to elevated selling pressure with larger underperformance down the capital structure (AAA CMBS index 58 bps wider on the year). US sectors, aside from HY Corporates, moved to the widest spreads of 2022 in early Q4, before tightening into year end. For example, early October IG Corporate spreads reached their 2022 high of +164 before rallying -34 bps tighter to finish the year at +130. Agency RMBS spreads reached +88 in mid-October before tightening to +51 bps, -29 bps for the full quarter. Non-Agency CMBS and ABS spreads also rallied into year-end but were wider for Q4 (+25 and +23 bps, respectively).
Worst Annual Return for Aggregate Index on Record
Even with solid returns in Q4, the Aggregate Index declined -13.01% for 2022 to cement the worst annual decline since its inception in 1977. It far exceeded the prior record of -2.92% set in 1994. All major bond sectors declined for the year. Agency RMBS, impacted by historically tight spreads to start the year, a sunset of Fed purchases and less demand from banks, significantly underperformed with -2.23% of excess return, second only to 2008’s decline of -2.32% for the sector. Excess returns for Agency RMBS swung wildly with the sector producing both its worst (September) and best (November) monthly excess returns since data inception in 1988. Although Q4 returns were strong for the IG Corporate sector (+3.63%), nominal YTD returns were the most negative of all at -15.76%, driven in part by the longer average duration of the sector. Adjusted for duration, the lowest excess returns occurred in HY Corporates (-3.71%) in spite of 3.05% of excess returns in Q4. TIPs, a top-performing sector in 2020 and 2021, declined 11.85% in 2022 underscoring the interest rate risk of these issues despite having an imbedded inflation adjustment to principal.

2023 Outlook
As we enter the new year, we expect that the modest economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but that growth will slow as the year progresses. We know that monetary policy acts with long and variable lags, but it is likely the aggressive Fed tightening of 2022, combined with that of other global central bank tightening measures, will lead to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession in 2023. At the same time, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. While modest additional rate hikes are anticipated in coming months, the Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may remain restrictive. Fed Chair Powell has been clear in seeking to avoid the mistakes of the 1970s when the Fed eased too soon only to see inflation reemerge and rise to new heights. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into a flatter (even inverted) Treasury curve for much of the year. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes over we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate.
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a much more favorable backdrop for investors in the new year. The rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads that produced negative returns last year now offer investors additional income for perhaps years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk remains critical to successfully managing through the still challenging waters ahead. To this point, a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings, but credit fundamentals of the IG Corporate sector are solid, showcasing good relative value. If credit spreads come under additional pressure in 2023, expectations for moderate new supply combined with the additional yield the sector now offers should provide a beneficial offset. The Fed’s cessation of Agency RMBS purchases offered buying opportunities in early Q4 2022 before a robust rally occurred into year end. Following that rally, investors should be patient in 2023 and require additional spread compensation given the Fed’s absence.
Disclosures
This is not a complete analysis of every material fact regarding any company, industry or security. The information has been obtained from sources we consider to be reliable, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy.
Fixed income is generally considered to be a more conservative investment than stocks, but bonds and other fixed income investments still carry a variety of risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. In a rising interest rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally decline and conversely, in a falling interest rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally increase. High yield securities may be subject to heightened market, interest rate or credit risk and should not be purchased solely because of the stated yield.

The Bloomberg TIPS Index consists of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). TIPS are securities whose principal is tied to the Consumer Price Index. TIPS pay interest semi-annually, based on the fixed rate applied to the adjusted principal.
Ratings are measured on a scale that ranges from AAA or Aaa (highest) to D or C (lowest). Investment grade investments are those rated from highest down to BBB- or Baa3.
Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund seeks current income consistent with preservation of capital. The Fund’s primary benchmark index against which it measures performance is the Bloomberg U.S. Short-Term Government/Corporate Bond Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Short-Term Government/Corporate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade fixed debt, including government and corporate securities, with maturities of less than one year.
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022. By the spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps designed to bring inflation back to the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes and rates rose sharply across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished the year at 3.88%. The 2-year Treasury yield exhibited an even greater increase of 369 bps, to close the year at 4.43%. The combination of the increase in 2-year and 10-year yields resulted in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy. Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices, while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude oil, a key benchmark of oil prices. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from bond funds, which experienced $331 billion of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592 billion).
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BUBIX) posted a net return of 0.96% vs. a 0.69% return for the Bloomberg Short-Term U.S. Government/Corporate Bond Index.
Contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | | • | Positive – Overweight investment grade credit |
| | | • | Positive – Active positioning within investment grade credit |
| | | | o | Positive – Overweight short (<1.5 year) BBB credit |
| | Securitized – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Overweight asset-backed securities (ABS) and non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) at the top of the capital structure |
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) at the top of the capital structure |
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a more favorable backdrop for investors in 2023. As we enter the new year, we expect the economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but then fade as the aggressive Fed tightening leads to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession later in 2023. Yet, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. The Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may need to stay at this peak (terminal) rate. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into the inverted Treasury curve likely continuing for 2023. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes behind us, we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate. The 2022 rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads likely offer investors additional income for years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk management remains critical, as a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings. However, corporate credit fundamentals are currently on solid footing, and even if credit spreads widen further, expectations for moderate supply, combined with the additional yield the sector now offers, should be a beneficial offset.
In 2022, we modestly increased the Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate credit at wider spreads favoring the financial sector. We modestly increased the Fund’s exposure to securitized sectors at the top of the capital structure given attractive relative valuations and the continued broad sector diversification benefit they provide to the overall portfolio. The Fund remains duration neutral relative to its benchmark.

This Index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. A direct investment in an index is not possible. |
The line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 and net 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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.

Schedule of Investments, December 31, 2022
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Baird Short-Term Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Short-Term Bond Fund seeks an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. The Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed rate debt issues, including government and credit securities, with maturities between one and three years.
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022. By the spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps designed to bring inflation back to the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes and rates rose sharply across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished the year at 3.88%. The 2-year Treasury yield exhibited an even greater increase of 369 bps, to close the year at 4.43%. The combination of the increase in 2-year and 10-year yields resulted in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy. Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices, while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude oil, a key benchmark of oil prices. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from bond funds, which experienced $331 billion of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592 billion).
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BSBIX) posted a net return of -3.64% vs. a -3.69% return for the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index.
Contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | Credit – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Active positioning within investment grade credit |
| | | | o | Positive – Overweight BBB credit |
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight investment grade credit |
| | | • | Negative – Overweight non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) at the top of the capital structure |
| | | • | Positive – Underweight 1–2-year maturities and overweight 3–4-year maturities as the 2–5-year portion of the yield curve inverted |
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a more favorable backdrop for investors in 2023. As we enter the new year, we expect the economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but then fade as the aggressive Fed tightening leads to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession later in 2023. Yet, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. The Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may need to stay at this peak (terminal) rate. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into the inverted Treasury curve likely continuing for 2023. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes behind us, we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate. The 2022 rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads likely offer investors additional income for years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk management remains critical, as a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings. However, corporate credit fundamentals are currently on solid footing, and even if credit spreads widen further, expectations for moderate supply combined with the additional yield the sector now offers should be a beneficial offset.
In 2022, we modestly increased the Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate credit at wider spreads favoring the financial sector. In addition, we selectively increased the Fund’s exposure within non-agency securitized sub-sectors given more attractive valuations, continued robust levels of loss protection at the top of the capital structure, and the continued broad sector diversification benefit they provide to the overall portfolio. The Fund remains duration neutral relative to its benchmark.

The Fund’s 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Baird Intermediate Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Intermediate Bond Fund seeks an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. The Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues, including government and credit securities, with maturities between one and ten years.
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022. By the spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps designed to bring inflation back to the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes and rates rose sharply across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished the year at 3.88%. The 2-year Treasury yield exhibited an even greater increase of 369 bps, to close the year at 4.43%. The combination of the increase in 2-year and 10-year yields resulted in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy. Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices, while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude oil, a key benchmark of oil prices. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from bond funds, which experienced $331 billion of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592 billion).
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BIMIX) posted a net return of -8.64% vs. a -8.23% return for the Bloomberg Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index.
Contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight investment grade credit |
| | | • | Negative – Active positioning within investment grade credit |
| | | | o | Modest negative – Overweight BBB credit |
| | | | o | Modest negative – Overweight financials |
| | | • | Negative – Overweight non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) at the top of the capital structure |
| | | • | Positive – Underweight 1–2-year maturities and overweight 5–7-year maturities as the 2–5-year portion of the yield curve inverted |
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a more favorable backdrop for investors in 2023. As we enter the new year, we expect the economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but then fade as the aggressive Fed tightening leads to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession later in 2023. Yet, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. The Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may need to stay at this peak (terminal) rate. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into the inverted Treasury curve likely continuing for 2023. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes behind us, we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate. The 2022 rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads likely offer investors additional income for years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk management remains critical, as a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings. However, corporate credit fundamentals are currently on solid footing, and even if credit spreads widen further, expectations for moderate supply combined with the additional yield the sector now offers should be a beneficial offset.
In 2022, we modestly increased the Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate credit at wider spreads favoring the financial sector. In addition, we selectively increased the Fund’s exposure within non-agency securitized sub-sectors given more attractive valuations, continued robust levels of loss protection at the top of the capital structure, and the continued broad sector diversification benefit they provide to the overall portfolio. The Fund remains duration neutral relative to its benchmark.

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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 Intermediate Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Baird Aggregate Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Aggregate Bond Fund seeks an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt issues, including government, credit, asset-backed (ABS), mortgage-backed (MBS) and commercial mortgage-backed (CMBS) securities with maturities of at least one year.
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022. By the spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps designed to bring inflation back to the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes and rates rose sharply across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished the year at 3.88%. The 2-year Treasury yield exhibited an even greater increase of 369 bps, to close the year at 4.43%. The combination of the increase in 2-year and 10-year yields resulted in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy. Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices, while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude oil, a key benchmark of oil prices. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from bond funds, which experienced $331 billion of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592 billion).
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BAGIX) posted a net return of -13.35% vs. a -13.01% return for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
Contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight investment grade credit |
| | | • | Negative – Active positioning within investment grade credit |
| | | | o | Modest negative – Overweight BBB credit |
| | | | o | Negative – Overweight financials and 5–10-year credit overall |
| | Securitized – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Underweight agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) |
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) at the top of the capital structure |
| | Yield Curve and Convexity – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Positive convexity tilt of overall portfolio versus the benchmark |
| | | • | Modest positive – Yield curve positioning |
| | | | o | Positive – Underweight 1–2-year maturities and overweight 5–7-year maturities as the 2–5-year portion of the yield curve inverted |
| | | | o | Negative – Overweight 20-year maturities and underweight 30-year maturities as the 20–30-year portion of the yield curve inverted further |
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a more favorable backdrop for investors in 2023. As we enter the new year, we expect the economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but then fade as the aggressive Fed tightening leads to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession later in 2023. Yet, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. The Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may need to stay at this peak (terminal) rate. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into the inverted Treasury curve likely continuing for 2023. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes behind us, we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate. The 2022 rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads likely offer investors additional income for years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk management remains critical, as a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings. However, corporate credit fundamentals are currently on solid footing, and even if credit spreads widen further, expectations for moderate supply combined with the additional yield the sector now offers should be a beneficial offset.
In 2022, we modestly increased the Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate credit at wider spreads favoring the financial sector. While we are maintaining the Fund’s underweight to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), we used periods of weakness during 2022 to increase the Fund’s relative exposure at more attractive spread levels. In addition, we selectively increased the Fund’s exposure within non-agency securitized sub-sectors given more attractive relative valuations and continued robust levels of loss protection at the top of the capital structure. The Fund remains duration neutral relative to its benchmark.

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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.

Baird Aggregate Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Baird Core Plus Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Core Plus Bond Fund seeks an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index. The Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of fixed income securities issued in dollars, including U.S. government, investment grade and non-investment grade credit, emerging market debt, asset-backed (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), Eurobonds, 144A securities and commercial mortgage- backed securities (CMBS) with maturities of at least one year.
The Fed viewed the inflation spike in 2021 as transitory but it continued to rise further and proved more persistent than expected in 2022. By the spring, the Fed’s view on inflation had shifted and a very aggressive monetary policy ensued. Between March 2022 and year end, the Fed hiked rates seven times for a total increase of 425 bps designed to bring inflation back to the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Treasury yields reacted in historic fashion to both the inflation data and the aggressive policy changes and rates rose sharply across the curve. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed 237 bps in 2022, its biggest annual move since the 1950s, and finished the year at 3.88%. The 2-year Treasury yield exhibited an even greater increase of 369 bps, to close the year at 4.43%. The combination of the increase in 2-year and 10-year yields resulted in a persistently inverted yield curve from July through year end. The upward trajectory in inflation was exacerbated by global events, specifically the war in Ukraine and China’s zero-COVID-19 policy. Russia’s invasion led to higher global food and energy prices, while China’s lockdowns allowed supply chain constraints to persist. For relief, President Biden released an estimated 165 million barrels of oil from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve which, along with a slowing global economy, helped lower the price of West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude oil, a key benchmark of oil prices. Negative fixed income returns driven by the sharp increase in rates in 2022 contributed to record redemptions from bond funds, which experienced $331 billion of net redemptions (following record inflows in 2021 of $592 billion).
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BCOIX) posted a net return of -12.87% vs. a -12.99% return for the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index.
Contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight investment grade credit |
| | | • | Negative – Active positioning within investment grade credit |
| | | | o | Negative – Overweight BBB credit |
| | | | o | Negative – Overweight financials and 5–10-year credit overall |
| | | | o | Positive – No exposure to Russian sovereign debt which was an investment grade issuer included in the U.S. Universal Investment Grade Credit Index but not in the U.S. Aggregate Credit Index |
| | | • | Positive – Underweight high yield U.S. corporate credit |
| | Securitized – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Underweight agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) |
| | | • | Modest negative – Overweight non-agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS) at the top of the capital structure |
| | Yield Curve and Convexity – Positive overall |
| | | • | Positive – Positive convexity tilt of overall portfolio versus the benchmark |
| | | • | Modest positive – Yield curve positioning |
| | | | o | Positive – Underweight 1–2-year maturities and overweight 5–7-year maturities as the 2–5-year portion of the yield curve inverted |
| | | | o | Negative – Overweight 20-year maturities and underweight 30-year maturities as the 20–30-year portion of the yield curve inverted further |
The massive repricing of the fixed income markets in 2022 provides for a more favorable backdrop for investors in 2023. As we enter the new year, we expect the economic momentum from the second half of 2022 will carry into early 2023 but then fade as the aggressive Fed tightening leads to an economic slowdown, if not a mild recession later in 2023. Yet, inflation should also slow, but to what level remains the key question. The Fed’s focus going forward is less about “how high” the federal funds rate may go, but instead “how long” it may need to stay at this peak (terminal) rate. A “higher for longer” federal funds rate should translate into the inverted Treasury curve likely continuing for 2023. However, with most of the Fed’s rate hikes behind us, we expect the extreme price volatility of the fixed income markets to moderate. The 2022 rise in Treasury yields and wider credit spreads likely offer investors additional income for years to come. A diligent focus on valuations and risk management remains critical, as a slowing economy will pressure corporate earnings. However, corporate credit fundamentals are currently on solid footing, and even if credit spreads widen further, expectations for moderate supply combined with the additional yield the sector now offers should be a beneficial offset.
In 2022, we modestly increased the Fund’s overweight to investment grade corporate credit at wider spreads favoring the financial sector. We continue to prefer the risk-reward profile of investment grade credit and select crossover/BB-rated issuers relative to lower-rated segments of U.S. high yield and emerging market debt. While we are maintaining the Fund’s underweight to agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), we used periods of weakness during 2022 to increase the Fund’s relative exposure at more attractive spread levels. In addition, we selectively increased the Fund’s exposure within non-agency securitized sub-sectors given more attractive relative valuations and continued robust levels of loss protection at the top of the capital structure. The Fund remains duration neutral relative to its benchmark.

The line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.

Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

2022 Municipal Bond Market Overview
(Unaudited)
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The 1yr tax-exempt yield rose an amazing 263 bps while 10yr and 30yr yields rose 159 bps and 209 bps, respectively. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1 – 10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. The CPI rose to a 40-year high in June, to 9.1% YoY, before declining to 7.1% at year end. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) as the Fed’s balance sheet is unwound.

Specific to the municipal market, a record level of net municipal fund redemptions was the dominant story in 2022. A total of $121.6B exited funds as rising rates and declining fund net asset values (NAVs) created a significant opportunity to harvest tax losses. For perspective, this was more than one-third of all fixed income outflows for the year ($331B). The fact that municipal funds had record inflows of $102B in 2021, when rates were near all-time lows and fund NAVs near their highs, certainly added to the tax harvesting incentive. Also, some investors simply sought to reduce portfolio risk and volatility by going to cash. Contributing to the market volatility was an understandably cautious and capital-restricted dealer community, reluctant to add inventory as rates rose given the inherent difficulty in hedging municipal bonds against rate movements. Fortunately, the level of new municipal supply in 2022 was light or the rate rise might have been greater. Issuance in Q4 of $70.5B was the lowest in at least 13 years and total supply for the year ($372.8B) was off 23% YoY; the annual decline overstates the available supply for most municipal investors since it was taxable issuance that fell most dramatically (-57% YoY) as refunding opportunities faded. Tax-exempt supply was still off 9% YoY, as many issuers had less need to borrow and/or were willing to wait for more market stability to do so.
Even with the aforementioned market challenges, 2022 was, to oversimplify, a municipal rate move, not a credit driven market sell-off (as was the case during the Global Financial Crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic). Fixed income managers could, therefore, focus on meeting uncertain liquidity needs without heightened concern over a wave of ratings downgrades. In fact, by many measures the financial position of state and local governments was never better than this year. Rainy day reserves were at record levels, thanks to unprecedented federal fiscal support surrounding the pandemic. In addition, the strong post-pandemic economic recovery and favorable financial markets of 2021 led to a surge in tax revenues in 2022.
Solid Q4 Returns Partially Offset Significant Declines in 2022
The rally in Q4 led to positive returns across the recent period, but it was insufficient to offset the full year declines of 2022. For the quarter, long maturities significantly outperformed short and intermediate maturities as rates fell. The opposite was true, however, for the year where short-term maturities outperformed longer curve segments. Notably, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index return of -8.53% in 2022 was its worst annual return since 1981. Across market sectors, the Prerefunded sector outperformed both GOs and Revenue bonds for the year. Finally, wider credit spreads led to AAAs outperforming lower-quality issues for the quarter and calendar year.

2023 Outlook and Opportunities
The US economy grew at a faster pace in the second half of 2022 than the first half, which implies at least modest growth momentum as we enter 2023. Supporting the economy is a resilient consumer, given the low unemployment rate and rising wages. Yet, concerns are emerging as excess savings from COVID-19-related fiscal support are coming down rapidly and the personal savings rate has fallen sharply, suggesting a spending slowdown is looming. Appreciating that monetary policy changes by the Fed and other global central banks operate with long and variable lags, an economic slowdown, if not mild recession, is likely to unfold over the course of the year. We expect this will lower inflation as demand eases and supply levels rise. The big question, however, is to what level will inflation fall? The goal to return to a 2% target inflation rate remains the Fed’s primary focus as Chair Powell and the other Fed governors have made clear. They want to avoid the mistakes of the 1970s, when the Fed eased too soon only to see inflation reemerge and rise to new heights. Therefore, a “higher for longer” federal funds rate outlook is likely which should translate into a flatter (even inverted) curve through much of 2023.
In the municipal market, with the tax-loss harvesting volatility behind us, municipal fund cash flows should stabilize as we enter the new year. We also expect that with tax-free yields now among the highest of the last decade that investor demand will return given the desire/need for safe, supplemental income. The new supply of municipal debt is likely to
2022 Municipal Bond Market Overview
(Unaudited)
remain modest in 2023, perhaps even less than what was issued in 2022. While the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2022 should help to spur more project activity and increase the level of new money borrowings, refunding supply will once again remain low, limiting total municipal volume.
From a credit perspective, municipal budgets are likely to come under pressure in coming quarters as tax revenues slow and the demand for public services and spending rises. Fortunately, municipalities enter this slower economic phase from a position of fiscal strength with record reserves to draw upon as needed. As a result, we expect credit ratings for state and local governments to remain stable in 2023. Closer scrutiny will be required, however, for large, urban credits where office vacancies remain high and mass transit ridership and revenues low, still below pre-pandemic levels. Two sectors where we anticipate challenges as well as opportunities are Healthcare and Higher Education. Many Healthcare issuers are battling rising costs, particularly wages, in order to attract and retain critical care workers. In the Higher Education sector, many colleges/universities face declining enrollment, requiring cost-cutting measures and larger draws from endowment assets. With this backdrop, we expect modest spread widening among lower quality credits, but welcome the opportunities that may emerge as a result. Finally, yield spreads also widened on some higher-quality issues with varying cash flow characteristics, such as Housing bonds. We expect that the additional yield offered through structural opportunities, identified through individual security selection, will be helpful in 2023 as well.
Disclosures
Fixed income is generally considered to be a more conservative investment than stocks, but bonds and other fixed income investments still carry a variety of risks such as interest rate risk, credit risk, inflation risk, and liquidity risk. In a rising interest rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally decline and conversely, in a falling interest rate environment, the value of fixed-income securities generally increase. High yield securities may be subject to heightened market, interest rate or credit risk and should not be purchased solely because of the stated yield.
The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is a broad-based, total-return index. The bonds are all investment-grade, tax-exempt, and fixed-rate securities with long-term maturities (greater than 2 years). They are selected from issues larger than $50 million. The components listed below the Municipal Bond Index (long maturities, intermediate maturities, short maturities, prefunded bonds, general obligation bonds and revenue bonds) are subsectors of the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index and do not represent separate indices.
The Bloomberg High Yield Municipal Index includes bonds with a par value of at least $3 million and must be issued as part of a transaction of at least $20 million. The maximum rating for inclusion is Ba1/BB+/BB+ using the middle rating.

Municipal securities investments are not appropriate for all investors, especially those taxed at lower rates. The alternative minimum tax (AMT) may be applicable, even for securities identified as tax exempt. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Ratings are measured on a scale that ranges from AAA or Aaa (highest) to D or C (lowest). Investment grade investments are those rated from highest down to BBB- or Baa3.

Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund seeks current income that is exempt from federal income tax and is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1–10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) as the Fed’s balance sheet was unwound.
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BTMIX) posted a net return of -3.66% vs. a -3.17% return for the Bloomberg Short 1-5 Year Municipal Bond Index.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Curve Positioning – Overweight to cash and near-cash maturities which held their value relatively well as interest rates rose |
| | • | Credit Positioning – Higher-quality (AAA and AA) outperformed lower-quality, particularly in 5-year maturities or longer |
Negative contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Security Selection – Lower-coupon structures lagged due to their longer average duration relative to higher-coupon issues |
| | • | Pricing Service Impact – ICE (Fund) lagged the pricing of Benchmark (BVAL) securities |
We expect economic growth to slow over the course of 2023, with the understanding that monetary policy changes operate with long and variable lags. Inflation should also fall, but to what level and at what pace are the key questions that will determine how high the federal funds rate rises and how long it remains elevated. Our view is that a “higher for longer” federal funds rate is likely, which implies that an unusually flat yield curve is probable for much of the year. Municipal issuance should remain modest even as infrastructure spending picks up but refunding volume will once again be quite low given the higher rate levels. With tax-loss harvesting largely behind us and much more attractive yields than a year ago, investor demand should improve, leading to positive municipal fund flows once again in 2023. The backdrop for municipal credit fundamentals remains strong. State and local governments begin the new year with record reserves that will help cushion an expected slowdown in tax revenues. Therefore, we expect credit ratings to remain relatively stable throughout 2023. Two sectors that we are more cautious on are Hospitals, which face labor shortages and rising costs, and Higher Education, which is challenged by declining enrollment growth. That said, structural opportunities in various sectors of the market (e.g., Housing) combined with modestly wider credit spreads over the year would be viewed as an opportunity in 2023.
The Fund maintains a neutral duration posture relative to the benchmark while seeking a yield curve allocation that optimizes roll-down benefit. Sector weightings will likely favor revenue-backed issues, with a particular focus, selectively, on Hospitals and Housing bonds. Given the recent widening in credit spreads, we believe a modest credit overweight is appropriate, particularly shorter on the curve. Although the pace of economic growth and tax revenues are likely to slow, credit fundamentals across most municipalities remains strong. That said, careful fundamental credit analysis and review remains critically important to adding value. Additional yield will also be sought from structural nuances at the individual security level where differing bond characteristics, such as coupon, call optionality and cash-flow variability help to create market inefficiencies.

The Fund’s 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | 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.

Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax and is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1–10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) as the Fed’s balance sheet was unwound.
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BSNIX) posted a net return of -5.31% vs. a -4.84% return for the Bloomberg 1-10 Year Municipal Bond Index.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Curve/Duration Positioning – Favorable yield curve positioning |
| | • | Sector Positioning – Transportation, Housing and Education allocation enhanced performance |
Negative contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Credit Positioning – Overweight to lower-quality (BBBs) detracted from performance as credit spreads widened |
| | • | Security selection – Lower-coupon structures lagged due to their longer average duration relative to higher-coupon issues |
| | • | Pricing Service Impact – ICE (Fund) lagged the pricing of Benchmark (BVAL) securities |
We expect economic growth to slow over the course of 2023, with the understanding that monetary policy changes operate with long and variable lags. Inflation should also fall, but to what level and at what pace are the key questions that will determine how high the federal funds rate rises and how long it remains elevated. Our view is that a “higher for longer” federal funds rate is likely, which implies that an unusually flat yield curve is probable for much of the year. Municipal issuance should remain modest even as infrastructure spending picks up but refunding volume will once again be quite low given the higher rate levels. With tax-loss harvesting largely behind us and much more attractive yields than a year ago, investor demand should improve, leading to positive municipal fund flows once again in 2023. The backdrop for municipal credit fundamentals remains strong. State and local governments begin the new year with record reserves that will help cushion an expected slowdown in tax revenues. Therefore, we expect credit ratings to remain relatively stable throughout 2023. Two sectors that we are more cautious on are Hospitals, which face labor shortages and rising costs, and Higher Education, which is challenged by declining enrollment growth. That said, structural opportunities in various sectors of the market (e.g., Housing) combined with modestly wider credit spreads over the year would be viewed as an opportunity in 2023.
The Fund’s overweight to duration will likely be gradually reduced, approaching a neutral stance, as municipal valuations richen and nominal yields decline. We will seek a yield curve allocation that optimizes roll-down benefit. Sector weightings will likely favor revenue-backed issues, with a particular focus, selectively, on Hospitals and Higher Education bonds. Given the recent widening in credit spreads, we believe a modest credit overweight is appropriate, particularly shorter on the curve. Although the pace of economic growth and tax revenues are likely to slow, credit fundamentals across most municipalities remains strong. That said, careful fundamental credit analysis and review remains critically important to adding value. Additional yield will also be sought from structural nuances at the individual security level where differing bond characteristics, such as coupon, call optionality and cash-flow variability help to create market inefficiencies.

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 line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 Strategic Municipal Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | 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.

Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund primarily seeks current income that is substantially exempt from federal income tax. A secondary objective is to seek total return with relatively low volatility of principal.
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1–10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT)as the Fed’s balance sheet was unwound.
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BMBIX) posted a net return of -5.74% vs. a -5.15% return for the Bloomberg Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Index.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Curve Positioning – Overweight to cash and near-cash which held their value relatively well as interest rates rose |
| | • | Credit Positioning – Higher-quality focus outperformed as credit spreads widened |
| | • | Sector Positioning – Pre-refunded overweight and underweight to the general obligation sector enhanced performance |
Negative contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Security Selection – Lower-coupon structures lagged due to their longer average duration relative to higher-coupon issues |
We expect economic growth to slow over the course of 2023, with the understanding that monetary policy changes operate with long and variable lags. Inflation should also fall, but to what level and at what pace are the key questions that will determine how high the federal funds rate rises and how long it remains elevated. Our view is that a “higher for longer” federal funds rate is likely, which implies that an unusually flat yield curve is probable for much of the year. Municipal issuance should remain modest even as infrastructure spending picks up but refunding volume will once again be quite low given the higher rate levels. With tax-loss harvesting largely behind us and much more attractive yields than a year ago, investor demand should improve, leading to positive municipal fund flows once again in 2023. The backdrop for municipal credit fundamentals remains strong. State and local governments begin the new year with record reserves that will help cushion an expected slowdown in tax revenues. Therefore, we expect credit ratings to remain relatively stable throughout 2023. Two sectors that we are more cautious on are Hospitals, which face labor shortages and rising costs, and Higher Education, which is challenged by declining enrollment growth. That said, structural opportunities in various sectors of the market (e.g., Housing) combined with modestly wider credit spreads over the year would be viewed as an opportunity in 2023.
As a reminder, the Fund maintains a quality focus and there are several key strategies employed on an ongoing basis that differentiate it from others in the intermediate municipal fund space. These include a consistent overweight among higher quality issues, with particular emphasis on AAA-rated securities, a persistent overweight to U.S. government backed issues, and minimization of maturity extension risk. The Fund maintains a neutral duration posture relative to the benchmark while seeking a yield curve allocation that optimizes roll-down benefit. Sector weightings will likely favor the higher-rated Pre-refunded sector and Housing bonds, particularly those with Federal Agency credit support. Although the pace of economic growth and tax revenues are likely to slow, credit fundamentals across most municipalities remains strong. That said, careful fundamental credit analysis and review remains critically important to adding value. Additional yield will also be sought from structural nuances at the individual security level where differing bond characteristics, such as coupon, call optionality and cash-flow variability help to create market inefficiencies.

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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | 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.

Baird Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax and is consistent with preservation of capital.
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1–10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) as the Fed’s balance sheet was unwound.
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BMNIX) posted a net return of -6.07% vs. a -5.95% return for the Bloomberg 1-15 Year Municipal Bond Index.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Curve Positioning – Overweight to cash and near-cash maturities, which held their value relatively well as interest rates rose |
| | • | Sector Positioning – Hospital and Education overweight benefit partially offset by Housing performance drag |
Negative contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Security Selection – Lower-coupon structures lagged due to their longer average duration relative to higher-coupon issues |
We expect economic growth to slow over the course of 2023, with the understanding that monetary policy changes operate with long and variable lags. Inflation should also fall, but to what level and at what pace are the key questions that will determine how high the federal funds rate rises and how long it remains elevated. Our view is that a “higher for longer” federal funds rate is likely, which implies that an unusually flat yield curve is probable for much of the year. Municipal issuance should remain modest even as infrastructure spending picks up but refunding volume will once again be quite low given the higher rate levels. With tax-loss harvesting largely behind us and much more attractive yields than a year ago, investor demand should improve, leading to positive municipal fund flows once again in 2023. The backdrop for municipal credit fundamentals remains strong. State and local governments begin the new year with record reserves that will help cushion an expected slowdown in tax revenues. Therefore, we expect credit ratings to remain relatively stable throughout 2023. Two sectors that we are more cautious on are Hospitals, which face labor shortages and rising costs, and Higher Education, which is challenged by declining enrollment growth. That said, structural opportunities in various sectors of the market (e.g., Housing) combined with modestly wider credit spreads over the year would be viewed as an opportunity in 2023.
The Fund maintains a neutral duration posture relative to the benchmark while seeking a yield curve allocation that optimizes roll-down benefit. Sector weightings will likely favor revenue-backed issues, with a particular focus, selectively, on Hospitals and Housing bonds. Given the recent widening in credit spreads, we believe a modest credit overweight is appropriate, particularly shorter on the curve. Although the pace of economic growth and tax revenues are likely to slow, credit fundamentals across most municipalities remains strong. That said, careful fundamental credit analysis and review remains critically important to adding value. Additional yield will also be sought from structural nuances at the individual security level where differing bond characteristics, such as coupon, call optionality and cash-flow variability help to create market inefficiencies.

(2) | The Bloomberg 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 line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

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.

Baird Municipal Bond Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
The Baird Municipal Bond Fund seeks a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax and is consistent with the preservation of capital.
The tax-exempt market closed the year with a strong tone, as yields fell modestly in December, adding to the strong rally that began in November. Although yields were lower for the quarter, they still rose significantly across the curve for the full year with short-term rates rising more than long. The magnitude of the move in short rates left yields between the 1–10-year curve inverted for the first time ever (-18 bps at year end). Inflation, which rose much more than expected and proved to be more persistent than transitory, was the obvious catalyst for the big upward yield adjustment in 2022. Exacerbating the inflation pressures was Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, especially impacting global food and energy prices, as well as China’s strict COVID-19 lockdowns, which prolonged global supply constraints. A tight labor market in the US, with nearly two job openings for every unemployed individual, also kept wage pressures elevated. The Fed reacted aggressively as the inflation data became more troubling. Rather than boost rates by the total of 75 bps they expected at the start of the year, the federal funds rate rose by 425 bps (including four successive 75 bps increases); the most aggressive Fed rate campaign on record combined with transitioning from quantitative easing (QE) to quantitative tightening (QT) as the Fed’s balance sheet was unwound.
During 2022, the Institutional Class Shares of the Fund (BMQIX) posted a net return of -7.73% vs. a -8.53% return for the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index.
Positive contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Security selection – Opportunistic trading and underweight to longer spread-duration structures |
| | • | Sector Positioning – Transportation and Hospital drag offset by Housing and Education allocation outperformance |
Negative contributors to the Fund’s relative performance during the year include:
| | • | Curve Positioning – Rising rates and a flattening curve was a performance drag |
| | • | Credit Positioning – Overweight to lower-quality detracted from performance |
| | • | Pricing Service Impact – ICE (Fund) lagged the pricing of Benchmark (BVAL) securities |
We expect economic growth to slow over the course of 2023, with the understanding that monetary policy changes operate with long and variable lags. Inflation should also fall, but to what level and at what pace are the key questions that will determine how high the federal funds rate rises and how long it remains elevated. Our view is that a “higher for longer” federal funds rate is likely, which implies that an unusually flat yield curve is probable for much of the year. Municipal issuance should remain modest even as infrastructure spending picks up but refunding volume will once again be quite low given the higher rate levels. With tax-loss harvesting largely behind us and much more attractive yields than a year ago, investor demand should improve, leading to positive municipal fund flows once again in 2023. The backdrop for municipal credit fundamentals remains strong. State and local governments begin the new year with record reserves that will help cushion an expected slowdown in tax revenues. Therefore, we expect credit ratings to remain relatively stable throughout 2023. Two sectors that we are more cautious on are Hospitals, which face labor shortages and rising costs, and Higher Education, which is challenged by declining enrollment growth. That said, structural opportunities in various sectors of the market (e.g., Housing) combined with modestly wider credit spreads over the year would be viewed as an opportunity in 2023.
The Fund maintains a neutral duration posture relative to the benchmark while seeking a yield curve allocation that optimizes roll-down benefit. Sector weightings will likely favor revenue-backed issues, with a particular focus, selectively, on Hospitals and Housing bonds. Given the recent widening in credit spreads, we believe a modest credit overweight is appropriate, particularly shorter on the curve. Although the pace of economic growth and tax revenues are likely to slow, credit fundamentals across most municipalities remains strong. That said, careful fundamental credit analysis and review remains critically important to adding value. Additional yield will also be sought from structural nuances at the individual security level where differing bond characteristics, such as coupon, call optionality and cash-flow variability help to create market inefficiencies.

The line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 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.
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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
| Long-Term Investments | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Total Long-Term Investments | | | — | | | | 57,080,357 | | | | — | | | | 57,080,357 | |

| Total Investments | | $ | 731,157 | | | $ | 57,080,357 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 57,811,514 | |
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
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur 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 (7/1/22 – 12/31/22).
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following tables provide information about account values 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 each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other 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. 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.

| 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”). 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.
| 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 (“NAV”), 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 securities are valued at fair value using methods determined by the Advisor as the valuation designee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in accordance with policies and procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. Per GAAP, 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 NAV per share as of the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 4:00 p.m. ET). |
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| | 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 based on various market inputs such as benchmark yields, 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 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 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 the Advisor’s fair value procedures. 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 the Advisor. The Advisor has designated its valuation committee to be responsible for fair value determinations. 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. Certain when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment securities are considered derivatives. |
| | |
| c) | Unregistered Securities – The Funds own certain investment securities which are unregistered. All of the unregistered securities held by the Funds as of December 31, 2022 consisted of securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. |
| | |
| | The value of such securities held by the Funds was as follows: |
| | Fund | | Value | | | % of Net Assets | |
| | Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund | | $ | 1,312,178,255 | | | | 23.40 | % |
| | Baird Short-Term Bond Fund | | | 2,612,866,083 | | | | 29.15 | % |
| | Baird Intermediate Bond Fund | | | 1,359,270,815 | | | | 19.31 | % |
| | Baird Aggregate Bond Fund | | | 6,444,476,453 | | | | 18.53 | % |
| | Baird Core Plus Bond Fund | | | 5,119,276,858 | | | | 22.92 | % |
| | Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | | | 81,127,723 | | | | 4.59 | % |
| | Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | | | 26,646,729 | | | | 5.53 | % |
| | Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund | | | 23,295,165 | | | | 2.09 | % |
| | Baird Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund | | | 76,360,020 | | | | 3.07 | % |
| | Baird Municipal Bond Fund | | | 3,273,901 | | | | 5.48 | % |
| d) | Foreign Securities – The Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund, Baird Short-Term Bond Fund, Baird Intermediate Bond Fund, Baird Aggregate Bond Fund, and Baird Core Plus Bond Fund 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, 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 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 the Advisor's fair value procedures. |
| | |
| e) | Financial Derivatives Instruments – Financial derivatives instruments, such as futures contracts, derive their value from the performance of 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 by 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 derivatives 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 derivatives 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. |
| | |
| | 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 December 31, 2022, the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund had $5,764 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. |
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| | 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, 2022, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of December 31, 2022, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2022. 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 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 income 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 low. |
| | |
| m) | New Regulatory and Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and rescinded previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds were required to comply with Rule 2a-5 by September 8, 2022. Management has evaluated Rule 2a-5 and has adopted the relevant provisions of the disclosure framework. |

| | In November 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act and issued Release No. IC-34084, Use of Derivatives by Registered Investment Companies and Business Development Companies (“Rule 18f-4”), to govern the use of derivatives and certain related instruments by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 replaced existing SEC and staff guidance with a new framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Unless a fund qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in Rule 18f-4, Rule 18f-4 requires registered investment companies that trade derivatives and other instruments that create future payment or delivery obligations to adopt a value at-risk leverage limit and implement a derivatives risk management program. Each Fund that participates in derivatives transactions intends to qualify as a limited derivatives user. Management has evaluated Rule 18f-4 and has adopted the relevant provisions of the disclosure framework. |

| | 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”), in January 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope (“ASU 2021-01”), and in December 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06 on the Funds’ investments, derivatives, debt, and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform. Management is also actively working with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines. |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. There were no reclassifications made for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Distributions to Shareholders
Each Fund generally pays dividends from net investment income monthly and distributes net realized capital gains 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.

As a principal investment strategy, the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund may invest in U.S. Treasury futures contracts for duration and yield curve management or to manage market and interest rate risk. The Fund’s market risk related to its derivatives trading is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including the level and volatility of interest rates, the market value of futures contracts, the diversification effects among the Fund’s open positions and the liquidity of the markets in which it trades.
The Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund had no outstanding futures contracts at December 31, 2022.

Baird Funds, Inc.
Disclosure Regarding Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement for Baird Bond Funds (Unaudited)
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), comprised of directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Directors”), met on August 12, 2022 and August 25, 2022 to consider the annual renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”) and the Company on behalf of the Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Baird Short-Term Bond Fund, the Baird Intermediate Bond Fund, the Baird Aggregate Bond Fund, the Baird Core Plus Bond Fund, the Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund, the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund, the Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Baird Core Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, and the Baird Municipal Bond Fund (the “Bond Funds” or the “Funds”).
The Board, which is comprised solely of Independent Directors, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Bond Funds through a process that concluded at the August 25, 2022 meeting. In connection with the consideration of the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed and discussed various information that had been provided prior to the meeting, including a copy of the investment advisory agreement and the Funds’ fee schedules, the fee waiver agreement for the Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund, a memorandum provided by the Funds’ legal counsel summarizing the guidelines relevant to the Board’s consideration of the investment advisory agreement, a memorandum and other information provided in response to a request from the Board by the Advisor, a copy of the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 1A and Form ADV brochures and brochure supplements, the organizational chart for Baird Advisors, financial information for the Advisor and its parent company, a profitability analysis, comparative information about the Funds’ performance for the applicable periods ended June 30, 2022, comparative information about management fees and expense ratios, composite performance information for similar accounts managed by the Advisor, trading information and information related to payments to financial intermediaries.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s 15(c) response with representatives of the Advisor at the August 12, 2022 special meeting. The directors also took into account knowledge gained through their experience with the Advisor over time as well as information reviewed periodically throughout the year, including information about performance, asset flows and expenses; discussions with management about personnel, succession planning and services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; discussions with the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer about compliance matters; and discussions with the Funds’ portfolio managers. As part of their deliberations, the Independent Directors also met in executive session with the Funds’ legal counsel and without representatives of the Advisor present.
In considering the investment advisory agreement and reaching its conclusions, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that it determined were relevant, including the factors below. In deciding to approve the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, the Board did not identify any single factor as determinative but considered all factors together.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds. The Board noted the Advisor’s positive reputation, the Advisor’s long-term history of managing the Funds and the continuity and experience of the portfolio management teams employed to manage the Funds’ investments. The Board considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s personnel who provide services to the Funds, including investment management, shareholder services, legal, compliance and accounting personnel, and noted that the Advisor has continued to provide high quality services to the Funds during the challenging market environment in 2021 and 2022. The Board also considered the Advisor’s addition of resources in support of the Funds, including investments in personnel, technology, trading and research.
The Board considered the Advisor’s disciplined investment decision-making process used for the Funds. The Board noted the effective operation of the Advisor’s risk management system and investment process during the COVID-19 pandemic and the elevated market risk environment in recent months and years. The Board also considered other services that the Advisor provides the Funds in its capacity as their investment advisor, such as providing key personnel to serve as officers of the Funds, selecting broker-dealers for execution of portfolio transactions, ensuring adherence to the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, proxy voting, compliance services, performing shareholder servicing responsibilities, administering the Funds’ liquidity risk management program, administering the Funds’ cybersecurity program and business continuity plan, valuation support, providing support services to the Board and the committees of the Board and overseeing the Funds’ other service providers.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds were appropriate and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under the investment advisory agreement.
Investment Performance of the Advisor and the Funds
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board reviewed information as of June 30, 2022 regarding the performance of each class of each Fund for applicable one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods in comparison to its benchmark index and its peer group as determined by Lipper. The Board also considered each Fund’s Lipper ranking for periods ending June 30, 2022 and, where applicable, the Fund’s Morningstar star rating. The Board reviewed the composite investment performance of Baird Advisors with respect to accounts managed by the Advisor that are comparable to the Funds but did not consider it to be a material factor in the 15(c) process.
The Board noted that the Bond Funds have generated competitive and consistent long-term performance results. The Board noted that the Bond Funds generally underperformed the respective benchmark index for the one-year period, with the exception of the Municipal Bond Fund, and that the Funds’ performance was in line with the Advisor’s expectations given market conditions and interest rate volatility. The Board noted that the returns of the Institutional Class of each Fund, other than the Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, have exceeded the benchmark index over the applicable three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods, the Funds also generally exceeded the Lipper peer group average over those periods, and each Fund other than the Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund ranked in the top quartile of the respective Lipper category for the since-inception period. With respect to the underperformance of the Baird Quality Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, the Board took note of the Advisor’s commentary regarding the Fund’s high-quality bias and the recent outperformance of lower quality issues in the market compared to high-quality issues, which has impacted the Fund’s relative returns. The Board also considered the Advisor’s commentary regarding the recent underperformance of the Baird Intermediate Bond Fund, the Baird Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund and the Baird Strategic Municipal Bond Fund.
The Board also considered the Advisor’s quarterly portfolio commentaries and discussions regarding the Funds’ performance and the investment strategies the Advisor employs for each Fund. The Board concluded that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the continued management by the Advisor.
Advisory Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the fee and expense information for each of the Bond Funds, including a comparison of each Fund’s advisory fee and total net expense ratio to industry data for all funds in the same Morningstar category (excluding ETFs and index funds). The Board noted that each Fund’s advisory fee (after waivers, in the case of the Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund) is significantly lower than the average and median advisory fee for the Morningstar category. The net expense ratio for each Fund’s Institutional Class is also significantly lower than the Morningstar category average and median. With respect to the Baird Ultra Short Bond Fund, the Board considered the Advisor’s contractual agreement to waive management fees in an amount equal to an annual rate of 0.15% until April 30, 2023. In addition, the Board considered that under the Administration Agreement, each of the Bond Funds pays administrative fees to the Advisor at an annual rate of 0.05% of each Fund’s average daily net assets, and the Advisor is responsible for paying almost all other expenses of each Fund, excluding management fees, Rule 12b-1 fees and specified excluded expenses, which has the effect of capping the Funds’ expense ratios at 0.55% and 0.30% for Investor and Institutional Class Shares, respectively.
Baird Funds, Inc.
Disclosure Regarding Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement for Baird Bond Funds (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board also considered investment management fees charged by the Advisor to other investment accounts managed in similar strategies, including separately managed accounts, subadvised funds and a collective investment trust, but did not consider these comparisons to be a material factor given the Advisor’s greater level of responsibilities and additional services provided with respect to the Funds, as well as the more extensive regulatory requirements and risks associated with managing the Funds.
The Board concluded that the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided and fees paid by comparable funds.
Costs and Profitability
The Board considered the fees realized, and the costs incurred, by the Advisor in providing investment management services and administration services to the Funds and a profitability analysis with respect to each Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor’s profitability information does not reflect costs incurred for various internal support services and systems to the Funds such as IT, compliance, risk, human resources, legal and finance. The Board reviewed the financial condition of the Advisor and its parent company and determined it to be sound. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s current level of profitability for each Fund, where applicable, was reasonable.
Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each Fund grows and to the extent which each Fund’s advisory fee reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
The Board considered that the Bond Funds’ advisory fee structure does not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Funds grow in size. The Board agreed with management’s view that each Fund shares in economies of scale through the low advisory fee, which was designed to be comparable to the second or third breakpoint advisory fee levels paid by other comparable mutual funds and noted that this pricing structure has been in place since the inception of each Fund. In addition, the Board noted that the Advisor bears almost all of the Funds’ expenses other than management, Rule 12b-1 and administration fees. The Board also considered investments made by the Advisor in resources that benefit the Funds. The directors concluded that the current fee structure of each Fund was reasonable and provides for a sharing of any economies of scale with the Funds’ investors.
Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisor from serving as advisor to the Funds (in addition to the advisory fee). Those benefits include fees received by the Advisor under the administration agreement with the Funds and Rule 12b-1 fees received by the Distributor and its representatives. The Board noted that the Advisor’s asset management and other institutional businesses may experience indirect benefits from the Advisor’s association with the Funds. The Board concluded that the other benefits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds were appropriate.
Based on its evaluation of the above factors, the directors, all of whom are Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

Dear Shareholder,
There is no way to sugar coat it. 2022 proved to be an historically difficult environment for equity investors as interest rates rose sharply in response to rising inflation and the US Federal Reserve’s policy actions to combat that inflation, which compressed multiples. While it certainly was a challenging year, we focused on finding companies with strong fundamentals and were able to take advantage of attractive opportunities the volatile environment presented.
While the 2022 financial markets challenged returns, we are pleased with the consistency of our work and the performance of the Baird Equity Funds relative to peers and their respective benchmarks. As we look back on the year, we are reminded of the power of our focus on high-quality business fundamentals that produced these results for our Fund investors. The volatile and down year reinforced our view that our bottom-up investment approach remains a prudent path.
We are mindful that we continue to operate in an elevated risk environment and are committed to judicious management of your assets. Our team has never been stronger, and we continue to play offense by focusing every day on serving our investors, including ongoing investments in our people, processes and the technology they utilize to deliver results and provide service to you.
While the challenging equity markets reduced the Baird Equity Funds’ AUM at year end to $2.9 billion, we are pleased with our investors’ continued use of our strategies to meet their equity needs. As we look ahead, it is our expectation that 2023 will continue to see market volatility as the Fed contemplates a new rate trajectory and as the broader economy adjusts to the already substantial rate increases in the past year. We will work diligently during 2023 to look for opportunities from fundamentally sound businesses.
We are honored to serve as your equity manager and we never lose sight of the fact that our success rests on the trust you have placed in us to be effective stewards of your assets. We are truly grateful for our relationship with you and are committed to delivering competitive performance, exceptional client service and timely and transparent communication to you.
Sincerely,
Mary Ellen Stanek, CFA
President

Portfolio Managers’ Commentary
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund Institutional Class posted a total return of -27.64% as compared to -26.72% for the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, the Fund’s benchmark index.
After three strong absolute return years, the Fund experienced a meaningful decline in 2022, closely tracking the drop in the benchmark index. The Federal Reserve’s effort to fight high inflation led to a series of interest rate increases not experienced in decades when considering the combination of their magnitude and speed. The significant policy tightening, while likely to temper inflation, also pushed the risk of recession higher and acted as a weight on the broad equity market.
Fund characteristics remained very similar to prior years with overall Fund portfolio holdings possessing a higher level of profitability, stronger revenue growth, and lower balance sheet leverage compared to its benchmark index. In our view, these key fundamental indicators reflect measures of quality, and the Fund’s investment mix has tended to earn a higher relative valuation level as measured by price-to-earnings. From a factor standpoint, price-earnings was a strong indicator of performance in 2022; stocks with higher valuations generally declined more than those with lower valuations. The performance difference likely reflected the toll of rising interest rates and an element of reversion to the mean after several strong years of performance for stocks in the higher growth, higher valuation category.
The negative valuation impact was offset in part by significant price declines among unprofitable companies included in the benchmark, which the Fund does not hold. Ever since inflation surged and the Fed’s interest rate response became the market’s focal point in the second half of 2021, the negative impact on unprofitable companies has been notable, and a tailwind to the Fund’s relative performance. This dynamic was most apparent in the technology sector, and particularly within the sizable software industry group, where owning profitable companies and avoiding those reporting losses led to strong outperformance. While some unprofitable companies will mature and adjust, economic cycles tend to have their relative winners and losers, and unprofitable companies may find themselves parked in the latter category should interest rates remain elevated compared to recent years. Either way, we will hold to profitability as a key tenet of what constitutes a quality company for the Fund.
On the negative side of the performance ledger was the relative drag from the energy sector. The sharp price advance in many energy companies hurt performance as the Fund carried less exposure to the sector than the benchmark index. In a year of meaningful price declines across the broad equity market, the positive overall return for the energy sector stood out at 40.2%. Higher oil and natural gas prices and a lower valuation starting point for many companies in the sector proved a favorable combination for performance. The benchmark’s energy weight rose in the past year, in part due to annual benchmark adjustments and in part due to stronger stock performance. We added two energy sector holdings to the Fund’s portfolio, one participating in the solar power industry and the other a traditional energy exploration & production company, recognizing the growing size of the sector as well as improved fundamental trends.
The Fund’s industrial sector holdings also detracted from performance. In this case, it was not an issue of sector weight, but stock-picking misses that hurt results. Three holdings declined much more than the benchmark and accounted for a bulk of sector underperformance. In one, we misjudged the durability of capital spending for a company producing digital textile printing machines and decided to sell out of the position. The two other companies, one a composite decking manufacturer and the other a producer of home standby generators and related systems, struggled to balance capacity with demand that accelerated during the initial years of the pandemic. While there were execution missteps by each management team, we believe the companies face good secular demand for their products. We expect the performance downturns for these two companies to reverse in 2023, but the performance pain in 2022 was acute. We typically view holdings in the materials sector as an extension of the industrial sector as we favor companies tied to manufacturing rather than more commodity-related activities. The two Fund holdings in the materials sector helped offset a portion of the performance sting from industrials.
The Fund’s consumer holdings delivered strong outperformance compared to the benchmark index. Within the consumer discretionary sector, traditional retail holdings have been a source of strength in recent years and that continued in 2022. In the consumer staples sector, good stock picking made a positive contribution to the Fund’s relative performance.
The valuation compression described above and demand moderation experienced by a few of the Fund’s holdings in the healthcare sector hurt performance and kept the sector from acting as defensively as we would have expected in a down market. Two holdings that assist in drug and biologic development and manufacturing processes faced concern over slower spending in part due to lower COVID-19 related activity. Consumer behavior changes negatively impacted the Fund’s holding in a dental product provider, which struggled with lower procedure counts. However, we continue to believe that we can assemble a strong mix of high-quality growth companies in this sector given the favorable trends in long-term spending and innovation.
Two sectors, telecommunications and real estate, had a single holding during the year, owing to their small benchmark weights. The Fund’s holdings in both sectors outperformed, with the Fund’s telecommunications sector holding benefitting from high product demand for the network switching business. In the real estate sector, the Fund’s holding of a data provider to the apartment and commercial real estate markets held in well as demand for the company’s services and market information remained stable and tends to be counter cyclical. A shortfall in relative performance from the financial sector offset a portion of the telecommunication and real estate strength. The Fund held more weight in banks and less in insurance compared to the benchmark index, with that mix detracting from performance as economic risks built during the year.
The Fund does not use its cash position tactically; however, with the market moving sharply lower, even cash held to accommodate additions to individual holdings or new investment ideas provided help to relative performance.
In the upcoming year, companies will likely find it challenging to gauge the lagged effect of Federal Reserve action on demand for their respective products and to hold profit margins steady as they deal with inflation’s impact on their cost structures. Whether it all adds up to a recession this year, or next, or not at all, time will tell. Amid the uncertainty, we believe it is important to remain sensible about market risk but open to new investment opportunities. The long-standing investment process underlying the Fund remains focused on identifying high-quality companies that deliver attractive returns and above average growth relative to peers. Seeking to control risk at the sector and position level is also a priority of our process, with the goal of providing attractive long-term returns for the Fund compared to its benchmark index.
We appreciate your support.

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 equity securities (consisting of common stock, ordinary shares and ADRs) of foreign companies. 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager's Commentary
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund Institutional Class posted a total return of -27.14% as compared to -26.21% for the Russell 2500® Growth Index, the Fund’s benchmark index.
After three strong absolute return years, the Fund experienced a meaningful decline in 2022, closely tracking the drop in the benchmark index. The Federal Reserve’s effort to fight high inflation led to a series of interest rate increases not experienced in decades when considering the combination of their magnitude and speed. The significant policy tightening, while likely to temper inflation, also pushed the risk of recession higher and acted as a weight on the broad equity market.
Fund characteristics remained very similar to prior years with overall Fund portfolio holdings possessing a higher level of profitability, stronger revenue growth, and lower balance sheet leverage compared to the Fund’s benchmark index. In our view, these key fundamental indicators reflect measures of quality, and the Fund’s investment mix has tended to earn a higher relative valuation level as measured by price-to-earnings. From a factor standpoint, price-earnings was a strong indicator of performance in 2022; stocks with higher valuations generally declined more than those with lower valuations. The performance difference likely reflected the toll of rising interest rates and an element of reversion to the mean after several strong years of performance for stocks in the higher growth, higher valuation category.
The healthcare sector delivered the Fund’s strongest relative returns, mostly due to positive fundamental performance from several holdings. Medical technology continues to be an area of focus for the Fund, as companies may exceed their financial targets, regardless of the macroeconomic environment. We found this to be the case for three Fund holdings in 2022, one focused on diabetes pump technology, one focused on technology to treat calcified arteries, and another focused on an implant to treat sleep apnea. We also saw positive returns in two of the Fund’s therapeutics holdings, and a home health services provider holding, which was acquired early in the year. Offsetting those gains was the Fund’s position in a contract drug manufacturer, which saw a slowdown in growth from lower-than-expected COVID-19 vaccine manufacturing in 2022. Finally, another setback was from a manufacturer of medical monitoring equipment, which announced a surprise acquisition that reduced its profit margins. We did not share management’s enthusiasm for the transaction so we exited the Fund’s position in the company.
The Fund also generated positive relative performance from the consumer staples sector, although the Fund’s and the benchmark’s weight is relatively small at roughly 3%. After disappointing performance in 2021, the Fund’s long-time holding focused on potato processing generated favorable returns as improved cost controls and favorable pricing dynamics drove significant operating margin improvement that led to positive growth in earnings. Throughout the year we added two new companies to the Fund’s holdings in this sector, but the impact on the Fund’s performance for the year was negligible.
Although the Fund remains underweight the energy sector (which has been increasing in weight in the Fund’s benchmark the last several years), successful stock picking drove slightly positive relative returns for the year. We exited two Fund positions in the middle of the year as their market capitalizations became too big for the Fund’s small/mid cap-focused portfolio. They were replaced with smaller companies in similar industries, as we didn’t want the Fund’s energy sector weight to be too low. The Fund remains invested in both traditional oil exploration companies, as well as businesses providing solar products and technologies.
Two small sectors, basic materials and telecommunications, both added positive attribution for the full year, despite the Fund holding only one stock in each sector. The Fund’s lone materials position is levered to improved airplane manufacturing, which began to increase throughout the calendar year. Within telecommunications, the Fund’s only holding, which provides communication technologies within healthcare facilities, was acquired at a premium valuation early in the year.
Despite the many positive developments across several holdings mentioned above, the Fund had negative attribution in technology, industrials, and consumer discretionary sectors that more than offset those gains, leading to annual performance slightly below benchmark returns for the calendar year. Broadly speaking, this was due to stock weakness from the raising interest rate environment that affected faster-growing, higher-multiple stocks, as well as companies that benefited from strong housing market trends in prior years. Although we reduced the Fund’s weight in these areas by trimming position sizes or selling stocks outright, these adjustments were executed later in the year after stock declines had already begun.
The technology sector detracted from annual Fund performance due to disappointing stock performance from high growth software stocks that were strong performers for the Fund in prior years. The Fund also experienced negative performance from select IT services companies due to investor worries over future spending should the economy face a recession. Although the Fund invests in some unprofitable companies that we believe are good investments for the Fund, the Fund’s exposure to such companies is capped at 10% of the Fund’s assets (at the time of investment). We further reduced the Fund’s exposure to unprofitable companies throughout the year, and at year end the exposure was less than 3%. Despite the macro environment that pressured valuation multiples, the Fund had three software stocks that declined significantly less than the benchmark and drove positive relative performance. The Fund also had strong positive relative performance from its two semiconductor holdings.
On an absolute basis, the industrials sector declined less than the broader market, but unfortunately, our stock picking detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Three stocks in particular drove the majority of the weakness. We exited the position of the Fund’s composite decking company, which saw a slowdown in demand after several years of outsized growth due to industry tailwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. We also sold the Fund’s position in a home stand-by generator business as the magnitude of the slowdown in its business was worse than we thought. The Fund also experienced negative returns late in the year when one of its oil and gas equipment providers decided to add debt to the balance sheet and make an acquisition that was negatively perceived by the market. Although sector performance on a relative basis was negative for the year, there were several holdings that executed well in the face of the challenging macroeconomic environment. Holdings that performed much better than the benchmark in 2022 included a variety of industries, such as: mobile storage containers, lawncare and snow removal equipment, engineering and construction, and mobile payment technology.
In short, consumer discretionary was negatively affected by companies with exposure to the housing market. After several years of strong industry tailwinds from low interest rates and “stay-at-home” trends due to COVID-19, those situations reversed in 2022, leading to slower growth and lower returns than we expected. In particular, this affected two long-term Fund holdings focused on pool supply and landscaping materials distribution. This environment also caused weakness for the Fund’s lone homebuilder stock, as well as a home renovation retailer. Gains in the consumer discretionary sector came from the Fund’s position in a leading footwear manufacturer, as well as a retailer focused on smaller price point items. Finally, the Fund’s position in an auto salvage auction company was acquired, although the transaction was funded partially by stock from the acquirer that limited the upside in the transaction value, as the acquirer’s stock declined after announcing the acquisition.
The Fund’s relative annual performance was negative in two other smaller sectors – financials and real estate. Given macroeconomic worries driving increasing interest rates, the Fund’s bank holding detracted from performance, as did the Fund’s self-storage REIT holding. We decided to maintain the Fund’s position in the self-storage business, but exited the Fund’s position in its lone regional bank holding.
The Fund does not use its cash position tactically; however, with the market moving sharply lower even cash held to accommodate additions to individual holdings or new investment ideas provided help to relative performance.
In the upcoming year, companies will likely find it challenging to gauge the lagged effect of Federal Reserve action on demand for their respective products and to hold profit margins steady as they deal with inflation’s impact on their cost structures. Whether it all adds up to a recession this year, or next, or not at all, time will tell. Amid the uncertainty we believe it is important to remain sensible about market risk but open to new investment opportunities. The long-standing investment process underlying the Fund remains focused on identifying high-quality companies that deliver attractive returns and above average growth relative to peers. Seeking to control risk at the sector and position level is also a priority of our process, with the goal of providing attractive long-term returns for the Fund compared to its benchmark index.
We appreciate your support.

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 equity securities (consisting of common stock, ordinary shares and ADRs) of foreign companies. 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |

Baird Equity Opportunity Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager's Commentary
Equities sank in 2022 as persistent inflation forced interest rates higher and valuations lower. The Russell 2000 Index declined 20.44%, the largest annual retrenchment in over a decade. The Institutional Class shares of the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund fell 11.56% on a net basis, a solid result that outperformed the Index by 888 basis points.
Market action in 2022 was dominated by the reversal of the Federal Reserve’s long-held commitment to ultra-loose monetary policy in an effort to quell the highest inflation in four decades. The Fed aggressively hiked interest rates and accelerated monthly reductions in the size of its balance sheet (so-called quantitative tightening (QT)), tightening financial conditions and setting off various knock-on effects that negatively impacted markets. Valuations retrenched, particularly among the fastest growing and least profitable companies. It is perhaps little surprise that the technology sector declined most during the year, and growth stocks underperformed value stocks by a wide margin. Selling was at times indiscriminate, with declines in small and large issues, growth stocks and value, and across all sectors other than energy which, ironically, was the sole “green” sector.
The Fund’s performance was buffeted by our detailed, flexible, and opportunistic investment process, which intensely focuses on stocks we think feature highly favorable risk-reward profiles. Perhaps more importantly, our team’s discipline and experience paid off handsomely. Having collectively managed through similarly exuberant times during our careers, we generally avoided large mistakes such as investing in “growth at any price” and “FOMO” (fear of missing out) situations, as we have personally witnessed how badly these episodes typically end.
A prominent example of how our disciplined focus on risk-reward delivered outperformance lies in the Fund’s investments in software, a sector that experienced notable weakness in 2022 with the average stock falling roughly 40% for the year. The Fund owned two prominent software positions, Blackbaud (BLKB) and Dropbox (DBX), both more-established, slower-growing, highly-profitable and, we believe, reasonably-valued names – the kind of companies that most tech investors eschewed in favor of faster- growing (and unprofitable) companies that led the significant sector declines. While Blackbaud and Dropbox were not unscathed – BLKB declined roughly 25% and DBX pulled back less than 10% - the more modest losses relative to the broader software sector helped sustain the Fund’s relative outperformance.
We often describe our Fund holdings as “idiosyncratic”, which the dictionary defines as “peculiar or individual.” Our definition centers on whether the Fund holding “has a company-specific thesis” or “beats to its own drum.” Either way, to the extent it smacks of marketing-speak, it’s notable that the Fund had several positions that were up considerably during the year, unusual in an equity market down over 20%. Clearly, these names were in fact peculiar and did beat to their own drum. Card processor EVO Payments (EVOP), irrigation equipment manufacturer Valmont Industries (VMI), mobile video-game maker Zynga (ZNGA) and energy services provider Oceaneering (OII) all delivered gains during 2022.
EVO Payments rose significantly on news of Global Payments’ announced acquisition over the summer. While many “fintech” investors ignored the steady, high-quality nature of the company in favor of flavor-of-the-day businesses such as crypto exchanges and money-losing “buy now, pay later” names, in the end, EVOP’s value was proven and recognized by the market. We are grateful that the EVO management team and Board of Directors negotiated a favorable cash deal for shareholders, and we exited the Fund’s position before year end. Valmont delivered consistently strong results, supported by momentum in its irrigation equipment segment, which in turn was driven by rising crop prices globally. Zynga was acquired early in the year by Take-Two Interactive (TTWO), though the effective premium turned out to be a relatively modest one as TTWO’s stock price declined after the announcement.
Our biggest detractors for the year were Clarus Corp. (CLAR) and Infinera (INFN). After years of strong stock price performance, Clarus declined significantly in 2022. Fundamentals were only partly to blame, as Clarus saw growth stall in the back half of the year as several of its larger retail customers sought to right-size existing inventory, impacting new order growth and product replenishment. To add insult to injury, a top holder of the stock was forced to liquidate its portfolio, placing a several million-share position for sale, negatively impacting the stock price from sheer supply increase while also inviting a spike in short-seller interest, which had an additional negative impact on the stock. We increased the Fund’s position on weakness, as we believe fundamentals will recover, technical impacts should soon abate, and the valuation is compelling.
Similarly, Infinera fell for both fundamental and technical reasons. While results were solid during the year, supply chain headwinds continued to restrain revenue and profit growth during the company’s all-important new optical product cycle. An ill-timed convertible bond offering delivered a body blow late in the year, as hedging transactions by the note buyers negatively impacted the equity price. We continue to believe in our Infinera investment thesis, and while a weakening economy could replace supply chain issues as a headwind, we still expect fundamentals to improve over the intermediate term.
Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, there has been a considerable increase in investor attention toward the macroenvironment; it is easy to understand why. That year, the floodgates opened, with double-barreled monetary and fiscal stimulus. Interest rates plunged, central bank balance sheets exploded higher, and trillions of dollars were sent to American families. As a result, most companies and consumers benefited, broadly boosting corporate fundamentals over the past few years. But in 2022, the main aftereffect of COVID-19 and this policy response began to reveal itself, rampant inflation. This spurred a reversal of the 2020 policies – interest rates rose, central bank balance sheets began to shrink, and fiscal stimulus abated. The resultant wide-ranging effects on sectors, styles, and valuations caused countless equity market participants to hang on every macro headline.
We are bottom-up fundamental investors that operate in an increasingly macro-driven environment. While we will always naturally ascribe more weight to company analysis and leveraging our domain expertise, we also appreciate the opportunity to assemble puzzle pieces in search of a macro mosaic – after all, even bottom-up investors like us must consider the bigger picture to help inform various inputs into our individual investment theses. As such, we think it is reasonable to share some top-down views of our own, especially as it pertains to the hotly-debated topics of monetary policy and the likelihood and timing of a potential recession.
While perhaps now consensus, we tend to take Fed Chairman Powell’s words at face value and assume there are several more interest rate hikes ahead, accompanied by further balance sheet shrinkage. However, because we believe inflation is likely to be stickier above the Fed’s low single digit target, we would take the “over”, relative to consensus, on how long it takes the Fed to swing back to interest rate cuts. And while oft forgotten amongst the inflation headlines, we do not think the Fed will back off on QT, which should continue to drain a significant amount of liquidity from the broader financial markets throughout 2023, if not beyond. As a result, a prolonged Fed-induced rally driven by near-term monetary loosening is not part of our current thinking. Of course, we could be wrong in our assessment, or more likely, the weekly speculation on this topic from various market participants could drive increased volatility in both directions.
As it relates to a possible recession, we consider history to be as good of a guide as any. There have been nine recessions since the 1960s, and each one has been preceded by a yield curve inversion in which the yield on the 10-year Treasury Bond falls below that of the 2-year Treasury Note. On average, the onset of recession lags the initial inversion by just over a year. If this history were to repeat, there would be a good likelihood of recession sometime in the back half of 2023, based on an initial (and sustained) yield curve inversion in July 2022. With the average duration of a modern-day recession at just under a year, the next potential recession could last well into 2024. Typically, though, equity markets bottom about midway through recessionary conditions, suggesting a bottom late this year or early next. While history often rhymes and historical context is helpful, each cycle is, of course, different. So, while we employ pattern recognition and consider historical timelines helpful guides, we try always to remain flexible in our approach and thinking.
The impact of this macro framework is relatively modest as it relates to specific actions we are taking in the Fund. We think it is likely too early to add a material amount of exposure to high growth names, though we have put a toe in the water in a few names such as B2B payments provider Bill.com, which holds a strong market position, is growing rapidly while profitable, and is down some 75% from its prior highs. Even though many such names are down as much or more, we believe fundamental deterioration lies ahead for most companies, and far too many remain unprofitable, thus rendering them relatively unattractive within our investment framework.
Broadly, we believe a good time to put more capital to work and take more risk is when fundamentals have bottomed, sentiment is poor, valuations are cheap, and monetary policy is poised to no longer be restrictive. Entering 2023, none of these conditions is firmly in place, in our view. However, we monitor these inputs regularly, and we believe things could potentially line up more favorably at some point during this year. The environment can change quickly, as we saw in 2022, and we remain attuned to shifting winds and prepared to tack to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.
We wish you all a safe and healthy start to 2023 and look forward to sharing another update mid-year.
Respectfully,
Joe Milano, CFA

The Russell 2000® is constructed to provide a comprehensive and unbiased small-cap barometer and is completely reconstituted annually to ensure larger stocks do not distort the performance and characteristics of the true small-cap opportunity set.

The line graphs and the returns table shown above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares. The returns in the graphs and 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 invests primarily in a select portfolio of equity securities of companies with small- to medium-market capitalizations (those with market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, of less than $20 billion). The Fund may invest up to 15% of its total assets in equity securities of foreign 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. The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in the stocks of smaller-capitalization companies. Smaller-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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. These and other geopolitical events may cause market disruptions and could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.
The gross and net expense ratio for each Class, as reflected in the Fund’s current prospectus, is set forth under “Portfolio Characteristics”.
The Fund is “non-diversified,” meaning that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a smaller number of companies than a diversified mutual fund. Given Greenhouse’s opportunistic investment strategy, the Fund will generally be overweight in certain sectors and underweight in other sectors, as compared to the sector weightings in the Russell 2000® Index (the Fund’s benchmark index), based on Greenhouse’s judgment of the sectors’ relative attractiveness and its individual securities selection.
The Fund may purchase and sell (or write) call and put options. Options are subject to various types of risks, including market risk, liquidity risk, volatility risk, counterparty risk, legal risk and operations risk. With options purchased by the Fund, the risk is limited to the premium paid for the option if the underlying stock price moves in the opposite direction from desired and the option expires worthless. For options sold or written by the Fund, the primary risk is that the underlying stock price may move directionally away from the exercise price resulting in the option holder exercising the option and requiring the Fund to either deliver the securities (in the case of a call option) or pay for the securities (in the case of a put option) and recognize a significant loss.
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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:

Chautauqua International Growth Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Portfolio Manager's Commentary
In 2022, the Chautauqua International Growth Fund Institutional Class returned -17.84%, underperforming its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI ex-U.S. Index® ND, which returned -16.00%.
The Fund typically holds a limited number of companies (25 to 35) and invests primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies with medium to large market capitalizations. Stock selection was a positive contributor to performance for the Fund, as compared to its benchmark. Investments in the health care and financials sectors were among the most additive to the Fund’s performance. Standouts included Novo Nordisk, Genmab, Sinopharm, Fairfax Financial, Bank Rakyat Indonesia, and DBS. However, portfolio allocation was a detractor to performance for the Fund, as compared to its benchmark. The Fund’s overweight positioning in the information technology sector and a zero weighting to the energy sector were the most detractive. The biggest detractors in the information technology sector were Temenos, Atlassian, and Adyen.
The market environment was extremely difficult in 2022. The Fund underperformed its benchmark in the past year due to a broad market rotation to value stocks. However, the Fund significantly outperformed the growth style of its benchmark, due to a consistent application of our investment process that not only considers growth, but also returns on capital and valuation.
Equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022. Inflation remained elevated, and major central banks made the containment of inflation their near-unanimous priority. After weeks building up a large military force along its border with Ukraine and in neighboring Belarus, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February, marking a grim new chapter for the European continent. At the time of invasion, Russia was a major supplier of energy to Europe, accounting for 40% of the Eurozone’s natural gas supply, and it is also an important source of metals, fertilizers, and wheat worldwide. The U.S. and its Western allies have imposed a wide array of economic sanctions against Russia. These sanctions have included blocking the Bank of Russia from accessing foreign currency reserves and removing some Russian banks from the SWIFT network of international interbank payments. Additionally, many large multinational corporations have curtailed or stopped outright their business operations in Russia.
Equity markets also declined significantly in the second quarter. The inflationary environment was not just a U.S. phenomenon but a global one. In addition to roiled supply chains, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the wave of COVID-19 lockdowns in China added to the complexity. Countries were hit by higher commodity prices, which added to inflationary pressures and curbed real income and spending, further dampening the recovery. Central banks aggressively tightened their monetary policies in order to moderate inflation.
Equity markets declined significantly again in the third quarter. Surging inflation was a global phenomenon, in both developed and emerging economies alike. COVID-19 induced supply disruptions collided with strong consumer demand for goods and services in the reopening. The war in Ukraine also intensified the inflation picture by further disrupting critical energy and food supplies. Central banks responded by sending interest rates higher and in larger increments. Additionally, central banks signaled their acceptance of any resulting economic consequences from the vigorous push to bring down inflation.
Equity markets benefited from a significant rebound in the fourth quarter. The global economy continued to deteriorate through the end of 2022, but not to the extent that was previously feared. In fact, some parts of the U.S. and European economies showed resilience despite the high inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and war in Ukraine. In the U.S., the labor market was still tight, and household balance sheets were still strong. Europe managed the energy disruption by cutting back on energy consumption and doling out fiscal support to households to help address high energy and food costs. China faced a swell of COVID-19 cases, but it took a momentous step by easing tough pandemic policies and setting the stage for a reopening rebound.
Outlook
The global economic outlook remains highly uncertain. The energy shock has pushed up inflation to levels not seen in many decades. Higher interest rates slow inflation by cooling business investments and consumer demand for goods and services, paving the way for more moderate price increases. But, in the process, higher interest rates also curtail employment, weaken wage growth, and ripple through financial markets in disruptive ways. Just how much pain these moves will ultimately cause remains unclear. So many countries are raising rates so quickly, and so in sync, that it is difficult to determine how intense any slowdown will be once the rate hikes take full effect. Monetary policy instruments are blunt tools, and their full effects often lag Fed action.
There is already a broad slowdown of the global economy. However, we believe in 2023 Asia will be the main engine of growth, whereas we expect North America, Europe, and Latin America will see very little growth. The most recent forecast for global economic growth in 2023 is 2.2% according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), or 2.7% according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Global inflation is thought to have already peaked and is forecasted by the OECD to be 6.5% in 2023. The big question is how quickly inflation comes down.
In the U.S., the Fed appears to be planning to hike rates higher than previously expected, to 5.1%, by the end of 2023, and to keep rates elevated for longer than previously expected. This will give the Fed time to see how inflation and the labor market react to policy changes it has already put in place. The Fed expects that it will still take years for inflation to fully return to its 2% target and that inflation risks remain elevated. In particular, the U.S. job market is still very strong, and wages are growing rapidly, so a sharper economic deceleration may be needed for inflation to fully fade. The Fed has projected economic growth of 0.5% in 2023, which would be consistent with a short and shallow recession during the year. On the contrary, because the recent inflation data in the U.S. has shown that inflation has started to abate, there is also speculation in the markets that the Fed could pursue a less aggressive policy path in 2023 and that there is a chance of accomplishing the elusive “soft landing”. In a press conference following a recent Fed meeting, Chairman Powell stated “I don’t think anyone knows whether we’re going to have a recession or not, and if we do, whether it’s going to be a deep one or not. It is not knowable.”
We believe Europe faces the strongest economic headwinds in the months ahead. It is heavily reliant on Russia for its energy, and it could face sharp increases in energy prices as additional sanctions went into effect in December. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) expects to raise interest rates significantly further because inflation remains far too high, and therefore, interest rates have still not reached the levels where they are restrictive. The situation in Europe is fundamentally different as compared the one in the U.S., where both rates have been hiked significantly and inflation has come down significantly. European economic growth is expected to be weak, and likely negative in the first quarter, due to high energy costs and softening business sentiment. The ECB has projected economic growth of 0.5% in 2023.
In China, the recent surge in COVID-19 infections and weak consumer sentiment have raised questions on how soon the economy can rebound. However, there has been a clear pivot on COVID-19 policies and better visibility on an exit strategy. Additionally, the government has pledged more support for the housing market and taken more of a pro-growth stance on the economy. Inflation is also much lower in China than in the U.S. and other Western economies. Taken together, the changes point to an incrementally brighter outlook for China, though the ride is still likely to be bumpy. The World Bank forecasts economic growth in China of 4.3% in 2023, rebounding from 2.7% in 2022 as the economy reopens. Lastly, for context, institutional holdings of Chinese stocks are the lowest they have been in five years, and valuations are far below average. Amidst the aforementioned positive shifts in the economic picture in China, the risk-to-reward appears to be incrementally more favorable for investment. Over the last two years, we have reduced the Fund’s weightings to Greater China (inclusive of holdings in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) on a net basis. Roughly 18% of the Fund’s assets are invested in Greater China holdings, which is modestly overweight relative to its benchmark.
Chautauqua International Growth Fund
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Our investment philosophy emphasizes businesses that benefit from secular trends and possess strong competitive advantages and market positions. Over longer investment horizons, some of the most exciting growth trends can be relatively immune to the global economic picture or the specific situations impacting certain regions. These include our many investments in and adjacent to cloud computing, software-as-a-service, digitalization, artificial intelligence, semiconductor advancement, e-commerce and payments, industrial automation, electric vehicles, and novel biologic and biosimilar therapies. Other exciting growth areas pertain to rapidly expanding consumer classes, broadly in emerging economies and especially in Asia, which are propelling the uptake of various consumer goods and financial products.
We do not expect the current environment of weakening economic growth to dislodge the long-term staying power of these investment themes, nor the business models or market positions of the Fund’s portfolio companies. Furthermore, we purposefully select portfolio companies that earn attractive profit margins, carry strong balance sheets, and generate cash on a consistent basis. In other words, we seek portfolio companies that are on solid footing, even when times are tough. For these reasons, the Fund’s portfolio holdings have the capacity to outgrow market growth rates over the long-term.
We have also taken great care to try to insulate the Fund against the most pernicious risks that inflation poses to equity investments, namely pressure on company profit margins and compression of valuation multiples. First, we have emphasized companies that we believe have pricing power because of the mission-critical or value-add nature of their products and services. Because of these features, these companies are oftentimes able to obtain favorable prices for goods and services in inflationary environments, and therefore protect their profit margins. Furthermore, we have made incremental adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio to emphasize companies with more attractive valuations, in light of higher market discount rates. We have implemented these adjustments in a long series throughout 2021 and 2022.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets at the time of purchase 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
| Equity | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.

Portfolio Manager's Commentary
In 2022, the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund Institutional Class returned -20.11%, underperforming its benchmark index, the MSCI ACWI Index® ND, which returned -18.36%.
The Fund typically holds a limited number of companies (35 to 45) and invests primarily in equity securities of both U.S. and non-U.S. companies with medium to large market capitalizations. Stock selection was a positive contributor to performance for the Fund, as compared to its benchmark. More specifically, stock selection in non-U.S. holdings was a positive contributor to performance for the Fund, while stock selection in U.S. holdings was a detractor to performance for the fund. Investments in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors were among the most additive to the Fund’s performance. Standouts included Novo Nordisk, Genmab, Regeneron, Sinopharm, and TJX. However, portfolio allocation was a detractor to performance for the Fund, as compared to its benchmark. The Fund’s overweight positioning in the information technology sector and a zero weighting to the energy sector were the most detractive. The biggest detractors in the information technology sector were Atlassian, EPAM Systems, and Temenos. We exited the Fund’s position in EPAM Systems in the first quarter of 2022.
The market environment was extremely difficult in 2022. The Fund underperformed its benchmark in the past year due to a broad market rotation to value stocks. However, the Fund significantly outperformed the growth style of its benchmark, due to a consistent application of our investment process that not only considers growth, but also returns on capital and valuation.
Equity markets declined in the first quarter of 2022. Inflation remained elevated, and major central banks made the containment of inflation their near-unanimous priority. After weeks building up a large military force along its border with Ukraine and in neighboring Belarus, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in late February, marking a grim new chapter for the European continent. At the time of invasion, Russia was a major supplier of energy to Europe, accounting for 40% of the Eurozone’s natural gas supply, and it is also an important source of metals, fertilizers, and wheat worldwide. The U.S. and its Western allies have imposed a wide array of economic sanctions against Russia. These sanctions have included blocking the Bank of Russia from accessing foreign currency reserves and removing some Russian banks from the SWIFT network of international interbank payments. Additionally, many large multinational corporations have curtailed or stopped outright their business operations in Russia.
Equity markets also declined significantly in the second quarter. The inflationary environment was not just a U.S. phenomenon but a global one. In addition to roiled supply chains, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the wave of COVID-19 lockdowns in China added to the complexity. Countries were hit by higher commodity prices, which added to inflationary pressures and curbed real income and spending, further dampening the recovery. Central banks aggressively tightened their monetary policies in order to moderate inflation.
Equity markets declined significantly again in the third quarter. Surging inflation was a global phenomenon, in both developed and emerging economies alike. COVID-19 induced supply disruptions collided with strong consumer demand for goods and services in the reopening. The war in Ukraine also intensified the inflation picture by further disrupting critical energy and food supplies. Central banks responded by sending interest rates higher and in larger increments. Additionally, central banks signaled their acceptance of any resulting economic consequences from the vigorous push to bring down inflation.
Equity markets benefited from a significant rebound in the fourth quarter. The global economy continued to deteriorate through the end of 2022, but not to the extent that was previously feared. In fact, some parts of the U.S. and European economies showed resilience despite the high inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and war in Ukraine. In the U.S., the labor market was still tight, and household balance sheets were still strong. Europe managed the energy disruption by cutting back on energy consumption and doling out fiscal support to households to help address high energy and food costs. China faced a swell of COVID-19 cases, but it took a momentous step by easing tough pandemic policies and setting the stage for a reopening rebound.
Outlook
The global economic outlook remains highly uncertain. The energy shock has pushed up inflation to levels not seen in many decades. Higher interest rates slow inflation by cooling business investments and consumer demand for goods and services, paving the way for more moderate price increases. But, in the process, higher interest rates also curtail employment, weaken wage growth, and ripple through financial markets in disruptive ways. Just how much pain these moves will ultimately cause remains unclear. So many countries are raising rates so quickly, and so in sync, that it is difficult to determine how intense any slowdown will be once the rate hikes take full effect. Monetary policy instruments are blunt tools, and their full effects often lag Fed action.
There is already a broad slowdown of the global economy. However, we believe in 2023 Asia will be the main engine of growth, whereas we expect North America, Europe, and Latin America will see very little growth. The most recent forecast for global economic growth in 2023 is 2.2%, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), or 2.7%, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Global inflation is thought to have already peaked and is forecasted by the OECD to be 6.5% in 2023. The big question is how quickly inflation comes down.
In the U.S., the Fed appears to be planning to hike rates higher than previously expected, to 5.1%, by the end of 2023, and to keep rates elevated for longer than previously expected. This will give the Fed time to see how inflation and the labor market react to policy changes it has already put in place. The Fed expects that it will still take years for inflation to fully return to its 2% target and that inflation risks remain elevated. In particular, the U.S. job market is still very strong, and wages are growing rapidly, so a sharper economic deceleration may be needed for inflation to fully fade. The Fed has projected economic growth of 0.5% in 2023, which would be consistent with a short and shallow recession during the year. On the contrary, because the recent inflation data in the U.S. has shown that inflation has started to abate, there is also speculation in the markets that the Fed could pursue a less aggressive policy path in 2023 and that there is a chance of accomplishing the elusive “soft landing”. In a press conference following a recent Fed meeting, Chairman Powell stated “I don’t think anyone knows whether we’re going to have a recession or not, and if we do, whether it’s going to be a deep one or not. It is not knowable.”
We believe Europe faces the strongest economic headwinds in the months ahead. It is heavily reliant on Russia for its energy, and it could face sharp increases in energy prices as additional sanctions went into effect in December. The European Central Bank (“ECB”) expects to raise interest rates significantly further because inflation remains far too high, and therefore, interest rates have still not reached the levels where they are restrictive. The situation in Europe is fundamentally different as compared the one in the U.S., where both rates have been hiked significantly and inflation has come down significantly. European economic growth is expected to be weak, and likely negative in the first quarter, due to high energy costs and softening business sentiment. The ECB has projected economic growth of 0.5% in 2023.
In China, the recent surge in COVID-19 infections and weak consumer sentiment have raised questions on how soon the economy can rebound. However, there has been a clear pivot on COVID-19 policies and better visibility on an exit strategy. Additionally, the government has pledged more support for the housing market and taken more of a pro-growth stance on the economy. Inflation is also much lower in China than in the U.S. and other Western economies. Taken together, the changes point to an incrementally brighter outlook for China, though the ride is still likely to be bumpy. The World Bank forecasts economic growth in China of 4.3% in 2023, rebounding from 2.7% in 2022 as the economy reopens. Lastly, for context, institutional holdings of Chinese stocks are the lowest they have been in five years, and valuations are far below average. Amidst the aforementioned positive shifts in the economic picture in China, the risk-to-reward appears to be incrementally more favorable for investment. Over the last two years, we have reduced the Fund’s weightings to Greater China (inclusive of holdings in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan) on a net basis. Roughly 13% of the Fund’s assets are invested in Greater China holdings, which is overweight relative to its benchmark.
Chautauqua Global Growth Fund

Our investment philosophy emphasizes businesses that benefit from secular trends and possess strong competitive advantages and market positions. Over longer investment horizons, some of the most exciting growth trends can be relatively immune to the global economic picture or the specific situations impacting certain regions. These include our many investments in and adjacent to cloud computing, software-as-a-service, digitalization, artificial intelligence, semiconductor advancement, e-commerce and payments, industrial automation, electric vehicles, and novel biologic and biosimilar therapies. Other exciting growth areas pertain to rapidly expanding consumer classes, broadly in emerging economies and especially in Asia, which are propelling the uptake of various consumer goods and financial products.
We do not expect the current environment of weakening economic growth to dislodge the long-term staying power of these investment themes, nor the business models or market positions of the Fund’s portfolio companies. Furthermore, we purposefully select portfolio companies that earn attractive profit margins, carry strong balance sheets, and generate cash on a consistent basis. In other words, we seek portfolio companies that are on solid footing, even when times are tough. For these reasons, the Fund’s portfolio holdings have the capacity to outgrow market growth rates over the long-term.
We have also taken great care to try to insulate the Fund against the most pernicious risks that inflation poses to equity investments, namely pressure on company profit margins and compression of valuation multiples. First, we have emphasized companies that we believe have pricing power because of the mission-critical or value-add nature of their products and services. Because of these features, these companies are oftentimes able to obtain favorable prices for goods and services in inflationary environments, and therefore protect their profit margins. Furthermore, we have made incremental adjustments to the Fund’s portfolio to emphasize companies with more attractive valuations, in light of higher market discount rates. We have implemented these adjustments in a long series throughout 2021 and 2022.

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 at the time of purchase 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. Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine has heightened global geopolitical tensions, resulting in an elevated risk environment and increased volatility in asset prices. The uncertain course of the war may have a significant negative impact on the global economy. U.S. relations with China have become increasingly strained, and tension between the U.S. and China may have a significant negative impact on the global economy and asset prices. Measures of inflation reached levels not experienced in several decades, leading the Federal Reserve to raise short term interest rates significantly over the last year, with the potential for further rate increases in 2023. Uncertainty regarding the ability of the Federal Reserve to successfully control inflation, the potential for incremental rate increases, and the full impact of prior rate increases on the economy may negatively impact asset prices and increase market volatility. The possibility of a U.S. or global recession may also contribute to market volatility. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic caused significant economic disruption in recent years as countries worked to limit the negative health impacts of the virus. While the virus appears to be entering an endemic stage, significant outbreaks or new variants present a continued risk to the global economy. 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 December 31, 2022
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 December 31, 2022:
| | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
| Equity | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Common Stocks | | $ | 163,993,387 | | | $ | 96,913,121 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 260,906,508 | |

| * | 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
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, such as management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses. 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 (7/1/22 – 12/31/22).
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following table provide information about account values 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 returns. 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. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) 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 Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund, the Chautauqua International Growth Fund and the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), five of the fifteen active funds in the series comprising the Company. Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Funds are “diversified” series of the Company except for the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund, which is a non-diversified fund. The investment advisor to the Funds is Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”). The investment subadvisor to the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund is Greenhouse Funds LLLP (“Greenhouse” or the “Subadvisor”).
The following table presents the class-specific inception dates for each of the Funds:
| | Inception Date |
Fund | Institutional Class | | Investor Class | |
Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund(1) | December 29, 2000 | | December 29, 2000 | |
| Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | October 31, 2018 | | October 31, 2018 | |
| Baird Equity Opportunity 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 | |
(1) | Effective April 30, 2022, the Fund changed its name from the Baird MidCap Fund to the Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund. |
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 Mid Cap Growth 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 Equity Opportunity Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through investments in equity securities of small- and mid-capitalization companies.
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. As of December 31, 2022, the Advisor, in its capacity as sponsor of the Baird Profit Sharing & Savings Plan and the Baird Non-Qualified Compensation Plan, and the Baird Foundation, an entity related to the Advisor, on a combined basis, owned a controlling ownership in the Baird Equity Opportunity 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”). 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.
| 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 (“NAV”), 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 securities are valued at fair value using methods determined by the Advisor as the valuation designee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) in accordance with policies and procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act. Per GAAP, 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 NAV per share as of the close of regular trading of the New York Stock Exchange (generally, 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 sales 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 based on various market inputs such as benchmark yields, 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 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 the Advisor’s fair value procedures. 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 the Advisor. The Advisor has designated its valuation committee to be responsible for fair value determinations. 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. |
| | |
| | Put and call options purchased for the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund will be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of such a price, at the mean between bid and asked prices. See Note 2(d) for additional information regarding financial derivative instruments. |
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| | The Chautauqua International Growth, Chautauqua Global Growth, and Baird Equity Opportunity 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. |
| | |
| b) | Foreign Securities – 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 the Advisor’s fair value procedures. |
| | |
| 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) | Financial Derivatives Instruments – Financial derivatives instruments, such as option contracts, derive their value from the performance of an underlying asset or index. The Baird Equity Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) may purchase and sell (write) put options and call options on securities or indices in standardized contracts listed on securities exchanges. The Fund may also purchase and sell (write) over-the-counter (“OTC”) put options and call options. The Fund qualifies as a “limited derivatives user” under Rule 18f-4 and limits its derivatives exposure to 10% of its net assets. |
| | |
| | A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy, and a writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security or index at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration of the option, regardless of the market price of the security. The premium paid to the writer is in consideration for undertaking the obligations under the option contract. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell the underlying security or index at the stated exercise price at any time prior to the expiration date of the option, regardless of the market price of the security or index. In contrast to an option on a particular security, an option on an index provides the holder with the right to make or receive a cash settlement upon exercise of the option. The amount of this settlement will be equal to the difference between the closing price of the index at the time of exercise and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars, times a specified multiple. |
| | |
| | Writing Put and Call Options |
| | As the writer of a put option, the Fund has a risk of loss should the underlying reference instrument decline in value. If the value of the underlying reference instrument declines below the exercise price of the put option and the put option is exercised, the Fund, as the writer of the put option, will be required to buy the instrument at the exercise price, which will exceed the market value of the underlying reference instrument at that time. The Fund will incur a loss to the extent that the current market value of the underlying reference instrument is less than the exercise price of the put option. However, the loss will be offset in part by the premium received from the buyer of the put. If a put option written by the Fund expires unexercised, the Fund will realize a gain in the amount of the premium received. |
| | |
| | By writing a call option on a security, the Fund foregoes the opportunity to profit from an increase in the market price of the underlying security above the exercise price except insofar as the premium represents such a profit, and it is not able to sell the underlying security until the option expires or is exercised or the Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing an option of the same series. Except to the extent that a written call option on an index is covered by an option on the same index purchased by the Fund, movements in the index may result in a loss to the Fund; however, such losses may be mitigated by changes in the value of securities held by the Fund during the period the option was outstanding. |
| | |
| | If a call option on a security is exercised, the Fund may deliver the underlying security held by the Fund or purchase the underlying security in the open market. In either event, the proceeds of the sale will be increased by the net premium originally received, and the Fund will realize a gain or loss. |
| | |
| | At December 31, 2022, the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund pledged securities with a fair value of $2,308,200 as collateral for option contracts. See the Fund’s schedule of investments for the securities pledged as collateral. |
| | |
| e) | 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 year ended December 31, 2022, or for any other tax years which are open for exam. As of December 31, 2022, open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2019 through 2022. 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. |
| | |
| 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. |
| | |
| g) | 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. |
| | |
| h) | 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies (cont.) |
| i) | 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. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, the Funds may record an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation 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. |
| | |
| j) | 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 low. |
| | |
| k) | New Regulatory and Accounting Pronouncements – In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 permits fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and rescinded previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds were required to comply with Rule 2a-5 by September 8, 2022. Management has evaluated Rule 2a-5 and has adopted the relevant provisions of the disclosure framework. |

| | In November 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act and issued Release No. IC-34084, Use of Derivatives by Registered Investment Companies and Business Development Companies (“Rule 18f-4”), to govern the use of derivatives and certain related instruments by registered investment companies. Rule 18f-4 replaced existing SEC and staff guidance with a new framework for the use of derivatives by registered investment companies. Unless a fund qualifies as a “limited derivatives user,” as defined in Rule 18f-4, Rule 18f-4 requires registered investment companies that trade derivatives and other instruments that create future payment or delivery obligations to adopt a value at-risk leverage limit and implement a derivatives risk management program. Each Fund that participates in derivatives transactions intends to qualify as a limited derivatives user. Management has evaluated Rule 18f-4 and has adopted the relevant provisions of the disclosure framework. |

The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2024. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04, ASU 2021-01, and ASU 2022-06 on the Funds’ investments, derivatives, debt, and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform. Management is also actively working with other financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within the regulatory deadlines. |

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies.
Additionally, GAAP requires 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 and net operating losses. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share.
For the year ended December 31, 2022, the following table shows the reclassifications made:
Fund | Total Distributable Earnings | | Paid In Capital | |
| Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 6,401,018 | | | $ | (6,401,018 | ) |
| Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | | | 522,385 | | | | (522,385 | ) |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | | | (800,963 | ) | | | 800,963 | |
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.
The tax components of distributions paid during the periods shown below are as follows:

In addition, Baird has entered into a Subadvisory Agreement with Greenhouse related to the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rates as follows:
| Fund | Investment Advisory Fees |
| Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund | 0.75% |
| Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | 0.75% |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | 1.25% |
| Chautauqua International Growth Fund | 0.75% |
| Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | 0.75% |
Under the Subadvisory Agreement, Baird is obligated to pay Greenhouse its subadvisory fee out of the advisory fee paid to Baird by the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse the Funds’ operating expenses, to the extent necessary to ensure that total operating expenses, including the fees and expenses incurred by the Funds in connection with the Funds’ investments in other investment companies (to the extent, in the aggregate, such fees and expenses on an annual basis exceed 0.0049% of the Fund’s average daily net assets) and interest expense, but excluding taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses, do not exceed the following annual percentages of the average daily net assets attributable to the Funds’ Institutional Class and Investor Class shares:
Fund | Institutional Class | Investor Class |
| Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund | 0.85% | 1.10% |
| Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | 0.85% | 1.10% |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | 1.25% | 1.50% |
| Chautauqua International Growth Fund | 0.80% | 1.05% |
| Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | 0.80% | 1.05% |
The Expense Cap/Reimbursement Agreement is in effect through at least April 30, 2024 for the Baird Mid Cap Growth, Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth, Chautauqua International Growth, and Chautauqua Global Growth Funds. The Expense Cap/Reimbursement Agreement is in effect through at least April 30, 2025 for the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund.
To the extent that the Advisor reimburses or absorbs fees and expenses, it may seek payment of such amounts for three years after the date in which expenses were reimbursed or absorbed for all Funds other than the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund. A Fund will make no such payment, however, if its total annual operating expenses exceed the expense limits in effect at the time the expenses were reimbursed or at the time these payments are proposed. The Advisor is not entitled to recoup any fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed by the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund under the agreement or under prior agreements.

Fund | | Waived Amount | | |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | | $ | 274,931 | | |
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.
Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (the “Distributor”) is the sole distributor of the Funds pursuant to a distribution agreement.
No commissions were earned by the Distributor for services rendered as a registered broker-dealer in securities transactions for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the Funds.
Certain officers and employees of the Advisor are also officers of the Funds.
The Company maintains an uncommitted line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank to provide the fifteen Funds comprising the Company a temporary liquidity source to meet unanticipated redemptions or other permissible borrowing needs. 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 $850,000,000 of total borrowings for the Funds comprising the Company, whichever is less. U.S. Bank charges annualized interest at the greater of 1.00% and the Prime Rate minus 2.00%. As of December 31, 2022, the Prime Rate was 7.50%. The LOC matures on May 22, 2023, unless renewed. The Company 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Funds borrowed from the LOC as follows:
| | | Amount | | | Interest Charges | | | Borrowing | |
Fund | | Borrowed | | | Accrued | | | Rate | |
| Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund | | $ | 3,361,000 | | | $ | 514 | | | | 5.50 | % |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | | | 391,000 | | | | 163 | | | | 5.00 | % |
| Chautauqua International Growth Fund | | | 8,678,000 | | | | 482 | | | | 2.00 | % |
No other borrowings occurred during the year ended December 31, 2022, nor were any other borrowings outstanding under the LOC as of December 31, 2022.
Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
| 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 year ended December 31, 2022, the Funds’ Investor Class shares incurred fees pursuant to the Plan as follows:
Fund | |
| Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund | $414,395 |
| Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund | 1,978 |
| Baird Equity Opportunity Fund | 7 |
| Chautauqua International Growth Fund | 12,685 |
| Chautauqua Global Growth Fund | 2,114 |
At a meeting held on November 16, 2021, the Board, on behalf of the Chautauqua International Growth and Chautauqua Global Growth Funds, approved the elimination of the 2.00% redemption fee charged by the Funds for both Investor Class and Institutional Class shares. This change became effective on December 1, 2021. Prior to that date, a redemption fee of 2.00% was 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 was paid directly to the Funds and was 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.
The other Funds do not charge redemption fees.
| 9. | Other Derivatives Information |
As a principal investment strategy, the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund may purchase and write options to hedge its portfolio and enhance returns. Options are subject to various risks including market risk, liquidity risk, volatility risk, counterparty risk, legal risk, and operations risk.
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 may be held 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. These contracts are not subject to a master netting agreement.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2022
On September 7, 2021, the Board approved the retention of Greenhouse as subadvisor to the Baird SmallCap Value Fund, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Baird SmallCap Value Fund. In connection with the proposed retention of Greenhouse, the Board also approved the reclassification of the Fund from a “diversified” to a “non-diversified” fund within the meaning of the 1940 Act, subject to shareholder approval, and a change in the name of the Fund to Baird Equity Opportunity Fund. Also on September 7, 2021, the Board approved a Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund with and into the Baird SmallCap Value Fund, subject to approval of shareholders of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund.
At a special meeting held on December 7, 2021, shareholders of the Baird SmallCap Value Fund approved the appointment of Greenhouse as subadvisor and the reclassification of the Baird SmallCap Value Fund as non-diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act. Also at a separate special meeting held on December 7, 2021, shareholders of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund approved the Reorganization of the Fund with and into the Baird SmallCap Value Fund. The shareholders of the Baird SmallCap Value Fund approved an increase in the management fee from 0.85% to 1.25%. The cost of the Reorganization was borne by the Advisor.
The Reorganization allowed shareholders of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund to continue to pursue their investment goals through a similar fund that invests in small- and mid-cap companies. The retention of a new sub-advisor for the combined Fund has the potential for improved net of fee performance. The Reorganization may benefit Fund shareholders by resulting in a combined Fund with a larger asset base and greater prospects for long-term viability.
Effective December 13, 2021 (the “Merger Date”), the Baird SmallCap Value Fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) acquired all the net assets of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Target Fund”). Under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Reorganization qualified as a tax-free merger to shareholders of the Target Fund. The acquisition was accomplished by an exchange of 1,496,876 Institutional shares of the Acquiring Fund (valued at $25,764,804, representing the Target Fund’s total net assets) for the Institutional and Investor shares outstanding of 1,823,023 and 20,227, respectively, of the Target Fund. The value, cost and unrealized appreciation of investments of the Target Fund pre-merger amounted to $27,280,503, $20,535,579 and $6,744,924, respectively. The aggregate net assets of the Acquiring Fund before and immediately after the acquisition were $30,315,385 and $56,080,189, respectively.
The Target Fund’s balances were as follows:
| | Target Fund on Merger Date | |
| Paid-in capital | | $ | 19,064,548 | | |
| Total distributable earnings | | | 6,700,256 | | |
| Total Net Assets | | $ | 25,764,804 | | |
For financial reporting purposes, the Acquiring Fund is deemed to be the accounting survivor and as a result, the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights reflect the operations of the Acquiring Fund only. The assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Target Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Acquiring Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Because the Acquiring Fund has been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of Operations since the Merger Date.
In connection with the Reorganization, the Acquiring Fund was renamed the Baird Equity Opportunity Fund.
Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on January 1, 2021, the beginning of the reporting period, the unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have been as follows:
| | | (Unaudited) | | |
| Net investment income | | $ | 725,433 | | |
| Net realized and unrealized gain on investments | | | 10,282,967 | | |
| Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 11,008,400 | | |
In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events after December 31, 2022. There were no subsequent events since December 31, 2022, through the date the financial statements were issued that would warrant adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2017.

Baird Funds, Inc.
Disclosure Regarding Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement for Baird Equity Funds (Unaudited)
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), comprised of directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Directors”), met on August 12, 2022 and August 25, 2022 to consider the annual renewal of the investment advisory agreement between Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”) and the Company on behalf of the Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, the Chautauqua International Growth Fund and the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund (the “Equity Funds” or the “Funds”).
The Board, which is comprised solely of Independent Directors, approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreement for the Equity Funds through a process that concluded at the August 25, 2022 meeting. In connection with the consideration of the investment advisory agreement, the Board reviewed and discussed various information that had been provided prior to the meeting, including a copy of the investment advisory agreement and the Funds’ fee schedules, the expense cap agreement for the Funds, a memorandum provided by the Funds’ legal counsel summarizing the guidelines relevant to the Board’s consideration of the investment advisory agreement, a memorandum and other information provided in response to a request from the Board by the Advisor, a copy of the Advisor’s Form ADV Part 1A and Form ADV brochures and brochure supplements, the organizational chart for Baird Equity Asset Management, financial information for the Advisor and its parent company, a profitability analysis, comparative information about the Funds’ performance for the applicable periods ended June 30, 2022, comparative information about management fees and expense ratios, composite performance information for similar accounts managed by the Advisor, trading and brokerage commission information and information related to payments to financial intermediaries.
The Board reviewed the Advisor’s 15(c) response with representatives of the Advisor at the August 12, 2022 special meeting. The directors also took into account knowledge gained through their experience with the Advisor over time as well as information reviewed periodically throughout the year, including information about performance, asset flows and expenses; discussions with management about personnel, succession planning and services provided to the Funds and their shareholders; discussions with the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer about compliance matters; and discussions with the Funds’ portfolio managers. As part of their deliberations, the Independent Directors also met in executive session with the Funds’ legal counsel and without representatives of the Advisor present.
In considering the investment advisory agreement and reaching its conclusions, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that it determined were relevant, including the factors below. In deciding to approve the renewal of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund, the Board did not identify any single factor as determinative but considered all factors together.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds. The Board noted the Advisor’s positive reputation, the Advisor’s long-term history of managing the Funds and the continuity and experience of the portfolio management teams employed to manage the Funds’ investments. The Board considered the depth and quality of the Advisor’s personnel who provide services to the Funds, including investment management, shareholder services, legal, compliance and accounting personnel, and noted that the Advisor has continued to provide high quality services to the Funds during the challenging market environment in 2021 and 2022. The Board also considered the Advisor’s addition of resources in support of the Funds, including investments in personnel, technology, trading and research.
The Board considered the Advisor’s disciplined investment decision-making process used for the Funds. The Board noted the effective operation of the Advisor’s risk management system and investment process during the COVID-19 pandemic and the elevated market risk environment in recent months and years. The Board also considered other services that the Advisor provides the Funds in its capacity as their investment advisor, such as providing key personnel to serve as officers of the Funds, selecting broker-dealers for execution of portfolio transactions, ensuring adherence to the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions, proxy voting, compliance services, performing shareholder servicing responsibilities, administering the Funds’ liquidity risk management program, administering the Funds’ cybersecurity program and business continuity plan, valuation support, providing support services to the Board and the committees of the Board and overseeing the Funds’ other service providers.
The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds were appropriate and that each Fund was likely to continue to benefit from services provided under the investment advisory agreement.
Investment Performance of the Advisor and the Funds
In considering the investment performance of each Fund, the Board reviewed information as of June 30, 2022 regarding the performance of each class of each Fund for applicable one-year, three-year, five-year, ten-year and since-inception periods in comparison to its benchmark index and its peer group as determined by Lipper. The Board also considered each Fund’s Lipper ranking for periods ending June 30, 2022 and, where applicable, the Fund’s Morningstar star rating. The Board reviewed the composite investment performance of Baird Equity Asset Management with respect to accounts managed by the Advisor that are comparable to the Funds but did not consider it to be a material factor in the 15(c) process.
The Board noted that the performance of the Institutional Class of the Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund exceeded its benchmark index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since-inception periods, had outperformed the Lipper peer group average over all time periods, and ranked in the top quartile of its Lipper category for the since-inception period. The Board considered that the Institutional Class of the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund had outperformed its benchmark and the Lipper peer group average over all applicable time periods and ranked in the top quartile of its Lipper category for the since-inception period.
The Board noted that the Institutional Class of each of the Chautauqua International Growth Fund and the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund had underperformed its respective benchmark index for the one-year period, had outperformed the benchmark index over all other time periods, had outperformed the Lipper peer group average over all time periods and ranked in the top quartile of the respective Lipper category for the since-inception period. The Board considered the Advisor’s commentary regarding each Chautauqua Fund’s one-year underperformance compared to the benchmark.
The Board also considered the Advisor’s quarterly portfolio commentaries and discussions regarding the Funds’ performance and the investment strategies the Advisor employs for each Fund. The Board concluded that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the continued management by the Advisor.
Advisory Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed the fee and expense information for each of the Funds, including a comparison of each Fund’s advisory fee and total net expense ratio to industry data for all funds in the same Morningstar category (excluding ETFs and index funds). The Board noted that the advisory fee for the Baird Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Baird Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund is above the Morningstar category average and slightly above the Morningstar category median; the advisory fee for the Chautauqua International Growth Fund is above the category average and equal to the category median; and the advisory fee for the Chautauqua Global Growth Fund is below the category average and equal to the category median. The Board also considered the net expense ratio of each Fund, after fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor, relative to the Morningstar category. The Board noted that the net expense ratio for the Institutional Class of each Fund, after waivers, is below the Morningstar category average and median.
The Board also considered management fees charged by the Advisor to other investment accounts managed in similar strategies, including separately managed accounts, subadvised funds, private partnerships and a collective investment trust, but did not consider these comparisons to be a material factor given the Advisor’s greater level of responsibilities and additional services provided with respect to the Funds, as well as the more extensive regulatory requirements and risks associated with managing the Funds.

Disclosure Regarding Approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement for Baird Equity Funds (Unaudited) (Continued)
The Board concluded that the management fee and total expense ratio of each Fund were reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided and fees paid by comparable funds.
Costs and Profitability
The Board considered the fees realized, and the costs incurred, by the Advisor in providing investment management services to the Funds and a profitability analysis with respect to each Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor’s profitability information does not reflect costs incurred for various internal support services and systems to the Funds such as IT, compliance, risk, human resources, legal and finance. The Board reviewed the financial condition of the Advisor and its parent company and determined it to be sound. The Board noted that certain Funds were not yet profitable to the Advisor. The Board concluded that the Advisor’s current level of profitability for each Fund, where applicable, was reasonable.
Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each Fund grows and to the extent which each Fund’s advisory fee reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors.
The Board noted that the Equity Funds’ advisory fee structure does not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Funds grow in size but considered the expenses incurred and management fees waived by the Advisor in the past and the competitiveness of the Funds’ fees and expenses. The Board also considered investments made by the Advisor in resources that benefit the Funds as well as hard dollar payments made by the Advisor for research that benefits the Funds. The directors concluded that the current fee structure of each Fund was reasonable and provides for a sharing of any economies of scale with the Funds’ investors.
Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds
The Board considered other benefits to the Advisor from serving as advisor to the Equity Funds (in addition to the advisory fee). Those benefits include Rule 12b-1 fees received by the Distributor and its representatives. The Board noted that the Advisor derives ancillary benefits from its association with the Funds in the form of research products and services received from unaffiliated broker-dealers who execute portfolio trades for the Funds. The Board noted that the Advisor’s asset management and other institutional businesses may experience indirect benefits from the Advisor’s association with the Funds. The Board concluded that the other benefits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds were appropriate.
Based on its evaluation of the above factors, the directors, all of whom are Independent Directors, concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreement was in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
