Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Despite a stream of negative headlines, the US stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) finished the trailing one year period ended 11/30/2012 with a powerful advance of 16.13%. The market posted strong gains early in 2012 before dropping sharply in May owing to the worsening sovereign debt crisis in Europe and slower economic growth in the US. Since June, the market has made steady gains except for a brief, sharp drop after the elections on November 6. It is important to recall the role that we envision the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund playing within an investor’s overall diversified portfolio. The fund is designed to be an all-cap US growth equity portfolio with additional exposures to targeted, systematic risk factors that include small companies, value and momentum, while seeking to avoid non-systematic risks such as industry or company overexposures. While we seek to capture a larger share of the equity market’s upside, it needs to be understood that this additional return is fundamentally linked to additional risk and volatility.
As specified in fund documentation, the portfolio is as fully invested as possible in domestic equities from the all cap growth universe––as defined by the Russell 3000 Growth Index––with approximately 80% of holdings in large cap companies and the remaining 20% in small cap companies. Total fund assets as of 11/30/2012 were approximately $124.4 million.
As of 11/30/2012, the portfolio held 278 equity securities, with no individual holdings constituting more than 5% of the total portfolio. Portfolio industry and sector weightings were held as close to the benchmark as possible after the required risk factor tilts were implemented. This is a direct consequence of controlling for undesired exposures while constraining the portfolio to consist of higher-momentum, more value oriented, and smaller securities within the all cap growth universe. Any industry and sector over- and under-weights are driven by these underlying factor exposures.
During the one year ended 11/30/2012, GFMGX had a total return of 14.91% compared to 14.63% for the Russell 3000 Growth Index. Multi-Factor Performance attribution revealed that in these past 12 months (11/30/2011 to 11/30/2012), the higher exposure to more value-oriented stocks resulted in a positive contribution of 0.83% relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index. The fund’s exposure to smaller securities detracted 0.22% and the exposure to higher momentum securities added 0.41% relative to the Russell 3000 Growth Index over the same time period. Since the fund’s inception in December 2009, we have been pleased that the fund has tracked our overall expectations. Because our process is based on a scientifically grounded approach, we believe that the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund should be well positioned to deliver a positive investment experience in the US domestic growth equity space, along with exposure to often-overlooked factors within the growth universe.
Our investment approach at Gerstein Fisher is grounded in the efficiency of capital markets, rigorous academic research and sound economic logic. Our experience of over
20 years demonstrates that the ideas and principles upon which we have built our firm are sound. We look forward to writing to you again in six months, and we thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
Sincerely,
Gregg S. Fisher, CFA, CFP

Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
During the trailing one-year period ended 11/30/2012, international developed markets (as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index) rose by 13.16%, despite recessions in Europe and economic weakness in Japan.
Given the recent volatility of international equity markets in general, it is important to recall the role that we envision the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund playing within an investor’s overall globally diversified portfolio. The fund is designed to be a large-cap developed-market growth equity portfolio with additional exposures to targeted, systematic risk factors, while seeking to avoid non-systematic risks such as industry or company overexposures. While we seek to capture a larger share of the equity market’s upside, it needs to be understood that this additional return is fundamentally linked to additional risk and volatility.
As specified in fund documentation, the portfolio is as fully invested as possible in international developed equities from the large cap growth universe, as defined by the MSCI EAFE Growth Index. Total fund assets as of 11/30/2012 were approximately $67.8 million.
As of 11/30/2012, the portfolio held approximately 239 equity securities, with no individual holdings constituting more than 5% of the total portfolio. Portfolio industry and sector weightings were held as close to the benchmark as possible after the required risk factor tilts were implemented. This is a direct consequence of controlling for undesired exposures while constraining the portfolio to consist of higher-momentum, more value oriented, and smaller securities within the large cap growth universe. Any industry and sector over- and under-weights are driven by these underlying factor exposures. In addition to the risk factor tilts, another source of deviation of the portfolio from the MSCI EAFE Growth Index is due to the difference in country weightings. Our fund sets a soft cap on any single country’s exposure within the portfolio at 10%. This country cap redistributes weight from the larger countries in the index, such as Japan and the U.K., to smaller countries such as Norway and Finland.
The risk decomposition of the portfolio relative to the MSCI EAFE Growth Index was also in line with the way the fund is managed. Aside from the targeted risk factor exposures and the country caps, the other risk factors were constrained to be neutral relative to the benchmark. The three largest contributors of active risk are due to the differences in country exposures, currency exposures and risk-factor exposures. In total, over 80% of the active risk comes from these common factors and less than 20% is explained by asset selection. Again, this is a result of the quantitative approach used by the fund in creating a well-diversified portfolio that contains intentional exposures to certain risk factors and limits the allocation to any single country.
Since the inception of the fund (01/27/2012) through 11/30/2012, GFIGX had a total return of 8.20% compared to 7.62% for the MSCI EAFE Growth Index. Multi-factor model performance attribution revealed that the greatest source of return deviation relative to the benchmark, i.e., the MSCI EAFE Growth Index, was from the fund’s stated risk-factor exposures. During the same time period (01/27/2012 to 11/30/2012), the fund’s exposure to higher momentum resulted in a contribution of 0.46% relative to the benchmark index and being invested in more value-oriented stocks had a contribution of 0.04% relative to the benchmark. In the same period, the exposure of the fund to smaller securities added 0.04% relative to the benchmark.
Since the fund’s inception in January 2012, we have been pleased that the fund has tracked our overall expectations. Because our process is based on a scientifically grounded approach, we believe that the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund should be well positioned to deliver a positive investment experience in the international-developed growth equity space, along with exposure to often-overlooked factors within the growth universe.
We look forward to writing to you again in six months, and we thank you for your continued trust and partnership.
Sincerely,
Gregg S. Fisher, CFA, CFP

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. Small- and medium-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large capitalization companies. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. Securities with “momentum” have recently had above average returns and may be more volatile than a broad cross-section of securities. Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities. The investment in options is not suitable for all investors. The risks of investments in derivatives include imperfect correlation between the value of these instruments and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative transactions; risks that the transactions may result in losses that partially or completely offset gains in portfolio positions; and risks that the derivative transactions may not be liquid.
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.
MSCI EAFE Index measures the performance of international non-US developed stocks (as defined by MSCI) that comprise the top 85% of the market cap of the investable universe (as defined by MSCI). The MSCI EAFE Growth Index consists of the growth portion (growth being a measure of price relative to book/value/cash flow) of the MSCI EAFE Index. An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

Expense Examples
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (6/1/12–11/30/12).
Actual Expenses
The first lines of the following tables provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load, 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, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares of the Funds within sixty days of purchase. Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of exchange-traded funds or other investment companies as part of their investment strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the Example. The Example includes, but is not limited to, advisory fees, fund administration fees and accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second lines of the following tables provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2012
Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Gerstein Fisher Funds (the “Funds”) are comprised of the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund and the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund, and each represent a distinct diversified series with their own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of each Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value. The Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund commenced operations on December 31, 2009. The Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund commenced operations January 27, 2012. Costs incurred by the Funds in connection with the organization, registration and initial public offering of shares were paid by Gerstein, Fisher & Associates, Inc. (the “Adviser”).

Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of the financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Each security owned by the Funds that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Funds will use the price of the exchange that the Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded.
Fund securities listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day.
Debt securities other than short-term instruments are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by a pricing service (“Pricing Service”). If the closing bid and asked prices are not readily available, the Pricing Service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing method or other analytical pricing models. Short-term debt securities, such as commercial paper, bankers acceptances and U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost. If a short-term debt security has a maturity of greater than 60 days, it is valued at market price.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
November 30, 2012
For the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund, in the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of certain events after the close of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) is calculated (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. or other markets) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, the Fund will value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. These securities would generally be categorized as Level 2 in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 hierarchy. The Adviser anticipates that the Fund’s portfolio holdings will be fair valued only if market quotations for those holdings are considered unreliable.
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other financial instrument is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced.
The Funds have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“Fair Value Measurements”) and FASB Staff Position “Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identified Transactions that are not Orderly” (“Determining Fair Value”). Determining Fair Value clarifies Fair Value Measurements and requires an entity to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to estimate fair value. Determining Fair Value also requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. Fair Value Measurements requires the Funds to classify their securities based on valuation method. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
Level 1—
|
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
|
|
Level 2—
|
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
|
|
Level 3—
|
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
|
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments carried at fair value as of November 30, 2012:

Foreign Securities and Currency
|
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
The Funds isolate the portion of the results of operations from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from those resulting in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.
Investments in foreign securities entail certain risks. Individual foreign economies of certain countries may differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment,

resource self-sufficiency, diversification and balance of payments position. The internal politics of certain foreign countries may not be as stable as those of the United States. Since foreign securities normally are denominated and traded in foreign currencies, the value of a Fund’s assets may be affected favorably or unfavorably by currency exchange rates, currency exchange control regulations, foreign withholding taxes, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies. There may be less information publicly available about a foreign issuer than about a U.S. issuer, and foreign issuers are not generally subject to accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the United States. The securities of some foreign issuers are less liquid and at times more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.
The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and makes the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
(d)
|
Distributions to Shareholders
|
The Funds will distribute net investment income and net capital gains at least annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may also pay a special distribution at the end of the calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days

on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s NAV per share. The Funds charge a 1.00% redemption fee on the net amount of the redemption on shares held less than 60 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Funds will retain the fee charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees become part of each Fund’s daily NAV calculation.
Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss from investment transactions on an identified cost basis. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.
The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2011 were as follows:

The tax basis of investments for tax and financial reporting purposes differs principally due to the deferral of losses on wash sales and a mark-to-market PFIC adjustment.
At November 30, 2012, the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund had short-term capital losses of $2,798,944, which will be carried forward indefinitely to offset future realized capital gains. To the extent the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund realizes future net capital gains, taxable distributions to its shareholders will be first offset by any unused capital loss carryovers from the period ended November 30, 2012, prior to any other amounts.
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 net asset value per share. For the year ended November 30, 2012, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund and Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund andthe Board of Trustees of Trust for Professional Managers:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund and Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor International Growth Equity Fund (the “Funds”), each portfolios of the diversified series constituting Trust for Professional Managers, as of November 30, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years presented in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, audits of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing opinions on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of November 30, 2012, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the years presented in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Gerstein Fisher Funds
Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) of Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) met on August 30, 2012 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as amended (the “Agreement”), between the Trust, on behalf of the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and Gerstein Fisher & Associates, Inc., the Fund’s investment adviser (the “Adviser”). In advance of the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees’ fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the renewal of the Agreement, detailed comparative information relating to the Fund’s performance, as well as the management fees and other expenses of the Fund, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including a due diligence questionnaire completed on behalf of the Fund by the Adviser, the Adviser’s Form ADV, select financial statements of the Adviser, bibliographic information of the Adviser’s key management and compliance personnel, comparative fee information for the Fund and the Adviser’s other separately-managed accounts and a summary detailing key provisions of the Adviser’s written compliance program, including its Code of Ethics) and other pertinent information. The Trustees also received information periodically throughout the year that was relevant to the Agreement renewal process, including performance, management fee and other expense information. Based on their evaluation of the information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Fund’s other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the continuation of the Agreement for an additional one year term ending August 31, 2013.
DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED
In considering the renewal of the investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Gerstein Fisher Multi-Factor Growth Equity Fund, and the Adviser, the Board reviewed and analyzed various factors that they determined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.
1.
|
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUND
|
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Fund and the amount of time devoted by the Adviser’s staff to the Fund’s operations. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Fund, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of Gregg S. Fisher, the Fund’s portfolio manager, and other key personnel at the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the structure of the Adviser’s compliance program and the Adviser’s marketing activities and goals and its continuing commitment to the growth of Fund assets. The Trustees noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Adviser in person to discuss various performance, marketing and compliance issues. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the trading capability of the Adviser. The Trustees discussed in detail the Adviser’s handling of compliance matters, including the reports of the Trust’s chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness
Gerstein Fisher Funds
Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)
of the Adviser’s compliance program. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided to the Fund, as well as the Adviser’s compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.
2.
|
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND THE ADVISER
|
The Trustees discussed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended July 31, 2012. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by the Adviser, the Trustees also compared the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to multiple benchmark indices, specifically the Russell 3000 Growth Index, the Russell 1000 Growth Index and the S&P 500 Index, and in comparison to a peer group of U.S. open-end large growth funds as constructed by data presented by Morningstar, Inc. (the “Morningstar Peer Group”). The Trustees also reviewed information on the historical performance of the Adviser’s separately-managed account that is similar to the Fund in terms of investment strategy.
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for the year-to-date and one-year periods ended July 31, 2012 was above its Morningstar Peer Group averages, falling within the second quartile and first quartile, respectively. The Trustees further noted that for the year-to-date, one-year and since inception periods ended May 31, 2012, the Fund’s performance was in alignment with that of its benchmark indices.
After considering all of the information, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by the Adviser for the Fund was satisfactory under current market conditions. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from the Adviser’s continued management.
3.
|
COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER
|
The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of the Adviser’s fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the related statistical information and other materials provided, including the comparative expenses, expense components and peer group selection. The Trustees considered the cost structure of the Fund relative to its Morningstar Peer Group, and the Adviser’s separately-managed account that was similar to the Fund in terms of investment strategy, as well as the recoupment of previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses by the Adviser.
The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Adviser, reviewing the Adviser’s financial information and noted that the Adviser had previously subsidized the Fund’s operations and had fully recouped those subsidies. The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Adviser from the fees payable under the Agreement, as well as the Fund’s brokerage commissions and use of soft dollars by the Adviser. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees and the Fund’s administrator specifically for the August 30, 2012 meeting, as well as the presentations made by the Adviser over the course of the year.
Gerstein Fisher Funds
Basis for Trustees’ Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Continued)
The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.85% fell at the top of the fourth quartile and was above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.67%, which fell in the third quartile. The Trustees noted that the Fund was operating below its expense cap of 1.25%. The Trustees observed that the Fund’s total expenses of 1.23% fell within the fourth quartile and was above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.98%, which fell in the third quartile. The Trustees then compared the fees paid by the Fund to the total fees charged to the Adviser’s separately-managed account that was similar to the Fund in terms of investment strategy, and noted that these fees were similar.
The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s expenses and the management fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information. The Trustees further concluded that the Adviser’s profit from sponsoring the Fund had not been, and currently was not, excessive and that the Adviser had maintained adequate profit levels to support its services to the Fund from the revenues of its overall investment advisory business.
4.
|
EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS
|
The Trustees compared the Fund’s expenses relative to the Morningstar Peer Group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Fund was operating below its expense cap of 1.25%, and that the Adviser had recovered all previously waived fees and reimbursed expenses. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of the Fund’s management fee and whether the Fund was large enough to generate economies of scale for shareholders or whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale were being or would be shared with shareholders). The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee structure did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund’s assets grow in size, but that the Adviser was open to consider breakpoints in its fee structure when the asset level of the Fund increased. With respect to the Adviser’s fee structure, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable and reflected a sharing of economies of scale between the Adviser and the Fund at the Fund’s current asset level.
5.
|
BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND
|
The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by the Adviser from its association with the Fund. The Trustees examined the brokerage and commissions of the Adviser with respect to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser may receive, such as greater name recognition, growth in separate account management services or increased ability to obtain research or brokerage services appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Fund through growth in assets.
CONCLUSIONS
The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Agreement as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

It is generally more advantageous to claim a credit than a deduction.

Indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Information about Trustees
The business and affairs of the Trust are managed under the direction of the Board of Trustees. Information pertaining to the Trustees of the Trust is set forth below. The Statement of Additional Information includes additional information about the Trustees and is available, without charge, upon request by calling 800-473-1155.

These include any adviser or portfolio manager predictions, assessments, analyses or outlooks for individual securities, industries, market sectors and/or markets. These statements involve risks and uncertainties. In addition to the general risks described for the Funds in the current Prospectus, other factors bearing on this report include the accuracy of the adviser’s or portfolio manager’s forecasts and predictions, and the appropriateness of the investment programs designed by the adviser or portfolio manager to implement their strategies efficiently and effectively. Any one or more of these factors, as well as other risks affecting the securities markets and investment instruments generally, could cause the actual results of the Funds to differ materially as compared to benchmarks associated with the Funds.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

A description of the Funds’ proxy voting policies and procedures is available without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds toll free at 800-473-1155. A description of these policies and procedures is also included in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC’s website at

HOUSEHOLDING (Unaudited)
In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders the Funds reasonably believe are from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 800-473-1155 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Funds receive notice to stop householding, the Funds will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

This report is intended for shareholders of the Funds and may not be used as sales literature unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Dr. Michael Akers is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Dr. Akers holds a Ph.D. in accountancy and is a professor of accounting at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
The percentage of fees billed by Deloitte & Touche applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed
or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
