Letter from the Chief Investment Officer
October 18, 2018
During the third quarter, the U.S. economy continued to expand, and inflation remained relatively benign. The Federal Reserve (the Fed) revised interest rates modestly, as expected, and the stock market (as measured by the S&P 500 Index) rose another 8%. The U.S. economy is now the strongest economy globally and all signs point to continued growth. Nonetheless, nine years into the expansion it is time to ask some hard questions. First, can inflation remain subdued or will labor shortages push wages up to the point where companies need to start raising prices more aggressively in order to maintain profits? Second, if inflation does accelerate sharply, will the Fed raise interest rates high enough to choke off the recovery and push the economy into recession? Third, will the trade wars result in lower tariffs or will they spiral out of control and seriously disrupt economic growth? Fourth, if the economy does experience an acceleration in inflation or a slowdown in profit growth, can the stock market avoid a correction given extended valuations? Fifth, on the political front, if the Democrats sweep the midterm elections, will the market worry about the possibility that a progressive might gain the presidency in 2020 and reverse many of Trump’s pro-business policies?
We have addressed some of these questions previously and will look at them again and opine on others. It is often said that bull markets climb a wall of worry, so the fact that we are worried about a myriad of issues may not be such a bad thing and may, in fact, be a contra-indicator. Let’s look at each of these questions.
With unemployment now below 4%, labor shortages are showing up in a number of industries causing employers to offer higher wages in order to attract workers, and many local governments have begun to mandate higher minimum wages. Amazon recently announced that it will pay all its workers a minimum of $15 per hour, double the U.S. legal minimum wage. There are sporadic reports of companies suffering margin degradation because of higher labor and transportation costs, but so far nothing systemic. Because technology continues to exert downward pressure on end-prices, inflation in the form of a wage/price spiral has yet to take off. On the other hand, rising employment coupled with rising wages has bolstered consumer incomes and confidence. Since the consumer represents some 67% of final demand, the economy is purring along.
As a result of the current pace of inflation, the Fed is normalizing monetary policy and interest rates at a pace consistent with continued economic growth. Typically, the stock market continues to rise in such an environment; however, there will come a time when good news (economic growth) becomes bad news (interest rates are too high). We remain vigilant for changes in sentiment.
At this point, how and when the trade wars are resolved remains an unknown. Higher tariffs are generally thought to be inflationary and to have a dampening effect on growth. Whether the tariff battle ultimately leads to a successful renegotiation of trade terms and lower tariffs or whether it spirals out of control and leaves us with higher tariffs and shrinking trade is indeterminate at this point. All we can say is “stay tuned.”
The next issue is whether equity valuations, which are somewhat above long-term levels, are vulnerable to a correction. Higher interest rates typically lead to lower valuation, but not necessarily if profits are still rising. So as long as the economy continues to expand, and profits grow, the stock market should move higher. Unless, of course, something out of left field spooks it!
We think that something could come from the political arena. If the Democrats achieve a sweep in the midterm elections, the market could start to worry about the possibility that a far-left progressive could win the presidency in 2020 and reverse Trump’s pro-business policies of lower corporate taxes and less burdensome regulations. Since these policies have supported corporate profits and propelled the stock market higher, any reversal could be expected to push it lower.
The stock market is currently experiencing a correction, which reflects all the economic concerns we discussed. It also reflects a slowdown in growth in Europe, China and emerging markets. We believe this is a temporary, normal part of the market cycle and not the beginning of a real bear market. While U.S. Gross Domestic Product growth may be slowing, it is not going negative. The same is true of U.S. corporate profits. As a result, as the stock market correction runs its course, it should create some very attractive opportunities to acquire equities at compelling valuations.

Osterweis Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Performance Summary
For the period of April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, the Osterweis Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 8.15% versus 11.41% for the S&P 500 Index (the “S&P 500”). (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
Market Review
The past six months were favorable for domestic equity markets. Despite ongoing uncertainty around the U.S. – China trade dispute and rising interest rates, all the major U.S. stock indices finished the period higher than where they started. Global equities, on the other hand, struggled. Developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, finished the last six months up just 0.44%, and emerging markets, as measured by MSCI Emerging Markets Index, finished down -8.73%.
Portfolio Review
For the six-month period ending September 30, 2018, the Fund trailed the S&P 500. Although our equities did well on an absolute basis, with each sector in the Fund delivering positive returns, security selection relative to the benchmark accounted for most of our underperformance. In upwardly biased markets we do not expect to keep up with the benchmark due to our conservative approach.
Several sectors in the Fund delivered positive returns on both a relative and absolute basis, including Financials, Materials, Energy, Consumer Staples and Industrials. On the downside, Health Care was our worst performing sector versus the index, followed by Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary.
Sector weighting also was a slight drag on performance, as we were overweight a few of the lesser performing sectors in the benchmark, including Materials, Industrials and Real Estate. In addition, we were underweight two of the best performing sectors in the benchmark, Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary.
Our cash holding, which averaged 4% during the timespan, accounted for a small portion of the underperformance but provides flexibility to add new names rapidly when attractive opportunities present themselves.
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
The U.S. economy is now the strongest economy globally and all signs point to continued growth. Nonetheless, we are monitoring several key variables that could alter the trajectory, including inflation, rising rates, and the ongoing global trade disputes. Given these unknowns, we continue to focus our investment activity on companies with clear paths to growth, especially those that are not dependent on overall macro trends. Included in this list are certain technology firms benefitting from long-term secular trends such as the shift to cloud computing. We also like firms undergoing restructurings aimed at unlocking hidden value. Additionally, we continually search for firms with strong or rapidly improving balance sheets enabling them to take advantage of temporary dislocations by snapping up weakened competitors at bargain prices.
____________________
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
The Osterweis Fund may invest in medium and smaller sized companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

Growth of $10K (Inception to 9/30/2018)

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on October 1, 1993 and is not intended to imply any future performance. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced (See Note 3). The chart assumes reinvestment of capital gains, dividends and return of capital, if applicable, for the Fund and dividends for an index.

Strategic Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Performance Summary
For the six-month period ending September 30, 2018, the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 2.33%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “BC Agg”), which returned -0.14% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.) The Fund also outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index (the “BC Univ”), which returned 0.00% over the same period1.
Market Review
The past six months were an extension of the benign, post-Crisis credit cycle, featuring no major disruptions or concerns. The third quarter was particularly prosperous, with a number of asset classes and markets closing at or near their highs. At the same time, 10-year U.S. Treasury yields increased from 2.73% to 3.06%, which was challenging for the major fixed income indices. The Federal Reserve raised rates twice during the period, but they were both announced well in advance and did not cause distress in the markets.
Portfolio Review
For the six months ending September 30, 2018, sector allocation, duration management and issue selection all boosted performance versus the BC Univ, with sector allocation as the major driver that added over 200 basis points (2%) to relative returns.
Our investments in high yield accounted for a substantial portion of the value added from sector allocation. During the period, high yield easily outperformed all other sectors within the benchmark. That, combined with our significant overweight in this sector (with an average allocation of about 70% over the past six months vs. the BC Univ’s 5%), improved our relative performance considerably. In addition, our convertibles proved to be a favorable allocation and notched a double-digit gain. A few equity securities received from corporate actions further contributed to the Fund’s outperformance.
Our shorter duration profile, and hence lower interest rate exposure, also benefited the Fund’s relative returns. Over the course of the past half year, the Treasury yield curve rose, generally hurting fixed income results, particularly longer dated issues. Treasury and corporate bonds, both investment grade and high yield, saw performance worsen as we moved up the maturity ladder. As a result, our protective interest rate positioning served the Fund well on both an absolute and relative basis.
Issue selection also gave the Fund another leg up, thanks mostly to our high yield securities. These numbered more than 100, the vast majority of which finished in positive territory. Our security selection in the investment grade sector even gave the Fund a little boost despite the small allocation. In fact, we delivered a nice solid gain here while the benchmark counterpart suffered a loss.
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
Although the economy continues to grow, we see three potential headwinds – rising interest rates, higher inflation and the ongoing trade dispute with China – that could alter its trajectory. Accordingly, we have been investing in a combination of shorter-duration high yield bonds supplemented with a few select convertible bonds and investment-grade floating rate notes. This mix of assets should allow us to participate in the economic growth we are enjoying while still providing a buffer against increasing interest rates. We are also using commercial paper for part of our cash position, as it offers more attractive yields. As our longtime investors know very well by now, we are patient investors with an eye to managing our investments over the entire economic cycle.
The Osterweis Strategic Income Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may invest in municipal securities which are subject to the risk of default.

Strategic Investment Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Performance Summary
The Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 5.78% for the six-month period ending September 30, 2018, underperforming its blended benchmark, composed of 60% S&P 500 Index (the “S&P 500”) and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “BC Agg”), which returned 6.67% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this letter.) The Fund also underperformed a blended benchmark composed of 60% S&P 500 and 40% Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index (the “BC Univ”), which returned 6.73% over the same period.1
Market Review
The past six months were a favorable period for most domestic markets. The third quarter was particularly prosperous, with a number of asset classes closing at or near their highs.
On the equity side, despite ongoing uncertainty around the U.S. - China trade dispute and rising interest rates, all the major U.S. stock indices finished the period higher than where they started. Global equities, on the other hand, struggled. Developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, finished the last six months nearly flat, up just 0.44%, and emerging markets, as measured by MSCI Emerging Markets Index, finished down -8.73%.
For fixed income, the period was an extension of the benign, post-Crisis credit cycle, but it also represented the early phase of a rising interest rate cycle as 10-year U.S. Treasury yields increased from 2.73% to 3.06%, creating challenges for the major fixed income indices. The Federal Reserve raised rates twice during the period, but they were both announced well in advance and did not cause distress in the markets.
Portfolio Review
During the six-month period, on average 62% of the Fund was allocated to equities, 32% to fixed income, and the rest to cash. Our overweighted cash allocations versus the 60/40 blended benchmark detracted modestly from our relative performance. We increased our equity allocation during the period from 60% to 64% and decreased fixed income from 36% to 33%.
Equities
For the six months ending September 30, 2018, the Fund’s equities trailed the S&P 500. Although our stocks generated a solid return, they lagged the equity index due primarily to our security selection. Our holdings within Health Care weighed most heavily on relative performance. Our picks within the Consumer Discretionary sector and Information Technology also had a negative impact relative to the S&P 500, though both had positive absolute returns. On the upside, our picks within Materials and Consumer Staples helped to counter the underperformance in other sectors.
Sector weighting also was a drag on performance, as we were overweight a few of the lesser performing sectors in the benchmark, including Industrials, Materials and Real Estate. In addition, we were underweight two of the best performing sectors in the index – Information Technology and Consumer Discretionary.
Fixed Income
For the six months ending September 30, 2018, sector allocation and duration management boosted performance versus the BC Univ, with sector allocation adding over 250 basis points (2.5%) to relative returns. However, issue selection detracted from performance versus the fixed income index.
Our investments in high yield accounted for a substantial portion of the value added from sector allocation. During the period, high yield easily outperformed all other sectors within the index. That, combined with our significant overweight in this sector (with an average allocation of nearly 90% of the fixed income portfolio over the past six months vs. the BC Univ’s 5%), improved our relative performance considerably. In addition, our convertibles proved to be a favorable allocation and notched a double-digit gain.

Strategic Investment Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Our shorter duration profile, and hence lower interest rate exposure, also benefited the Fund’s relative returns. Over the course of the past half year, Treasury yields rose, generally hurting fixed income results, particularly longer dated issues. Treasury and corporate bonds, both investment grade and high yield, saw performance worsen as we moved up the maturity ladder. As a result, our protective interest rate positioning served the Fund well on both an absolute and relative basis.
Issue selection in the high yield sector hurt our relative returns. Overall our high yield picks performed well and the vast majority finished in positive territory. However, a security that the Fund received as part of a corporate action fared poorly and accounted for most of the shortfall. Mitigating the drag was our security selection in the investment grade sector, which gave the Fund a little boost despite the small allocation. In fact, we delivered a solid gain here while the index counterpart suffered a loss.
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
The U.S. economy is now the strongest economy globally and all signs point to continued growth. Nonetheless, we are monitoring several key variables that could alter the trajectory, including inflation, rising rates and the ongoing global trade disputes. Given these unknowns, we continue to focus our equity investment on companies with clear paths to growth, especially those that are not dependent on overall macro trends. Included in this list are certain technology firms benefitting from long-term secular trends such as the shift to cloud computing. We also like firms undergoing restructurings aimed at unlocking hidden value. Additionally, we continually search for firms with strong or rapidly improving balance sheets enabling them to take advantage of temporary dislocations by snapping up weakened competitors at bargain prices.
In fixed income, we have been investing in a combination of shorter-duration high yield bonds supplemented with a few select convertible bonds and investment-grade floating rate notes. This mix of assets should allow us to participate in the economic growth we are enjoying while still providing a buffer against increasing interest rates.
____________________
The Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund may invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.

Emerging Opportunity Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Performance Summary
For the period of April 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018, the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 23.10%, substantially outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which returned 13.16% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
Market Review
The past six months have been favorable for domestic equity markets. Despite ongoing uncertainty around the U.S. - China trade dispute and rising interest rates, all the major U.S. stock indices finished the last six months higher than where they started. The Russell 2000 Growth Index outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index during the period, finishing up 13.16% versus 10.04%.
Portfolio Review
During the six months ending September 30, 2018, the Fund significantly outperformed the benchmark despite holding an average of 12% cash over the period. The Fund’s cash position provides the flexibility to add new names rapidly when attractive opportunities present themselves.
Security selection across a wide range of sectors drove the Fund’s performance during the past two quarters. Health Care led the way, followed by Consumer Discretionary companies, Information Technology, Consumer Staples and Industrials. Our Health Care stocks returned 41% versus 18% for the benchmark, and our Consumer Discretionary stocks returned 53% compared to 16% for the benchmark. Each of the other three sectors also substantially outperformed the benchmark.
The laggards in the Fund were focused primarily in Materials and Financials. Each sector delivered negative returns on both a relative and an absolute basis. Our Financials struggled primarily due to the continued flattening of the yield curve, which reduced the spread income they generate from borrowing short term and lending long term. Our Materials holdings underperformed as rising rates slowed new home construction.
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
We believe market conditions are still favorable for growth stocks, although we may see some volatility along the way. Our core focus remains positioning the Fund into emerging, disruptive companies that should continue to deliver increasing earnings and higher share prices even if the economy begins to cool. As always, we trim or sell positions where we believe the potential valuation has been recognized by the market and the company has achieved its goals. Conversely, we liquidate when we lose faith in the company’s ability to reach a stretch goal. We are committed to keeping the portfolio fresh with new ideas and taking advantage of price dislocations created by sector moves in negative directions.
____________________
Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund may invest in unseasoned companies, which involve additional risks such as abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies, which may involve greater volatility than large-sized companies. The Fund may invest in IPOs and unseasoned companies that are in the early stages of their development and may pose more risk compared to more established companies. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which involve risks that do not apply to conventional funds. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk including the health care sector, which may be affected by government regulation, restrictions, pricing and other market developments and the technology sector, which tends to be more volatile than the overall market. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets.

Total Return Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review
Performance Summary
For the six-month period ending September 30, 2018, the Osterweis Total Return Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 2.89%, outperforming the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “BC Agg”), which returned -0.14% over the same period.
Market Review
The past six months have been a struggle for the investment grade fixed income market, as the BC Agg delivered negative returns. 10-year U.S. Treasury yields increased from 2.73% to 3.06% from April through September, though they were somewhat volatile, rising and falling multiple times before finally maintaining their upward trend in September.
Portfolio Review
For the first fiscal quarter of 2018, the Fund outperformed the benchmark as its interest rate hedges – especially in April – were well timed and additive to performance. The Fund also benefited from its sizable allocation to mortgage-backed securities and relatively low exposure to corporate spreads, as measured by spread duration, versus the benchmark. Toward the end of the quarter we began to find value in the corporate market and to rotate out of mortgages accordingly. Finally, the Fund benefited from its allocation to TIPS, which outperformed Treasuries during the period as inflation breakevens widened.
For the second fiscal quarter, the Fund outperformed the benchmark due to several factors. First, we continued to increase our allocation to corporate bonds during the quarter and consequently the Fund benefited from the outperformance of corporates versus the other investment grade sectors. Secondly, interest rate hedges added significant value as we judiciously maintained a flat or negative overall duration for a good portion of the quarter. Finally, security selection in both corporates and mortgages added to the return of the Fund. A significant portion of the corporate portfolio was invested in floating rate notes that performed particularly well as interest rates rose. The mortgage portfolio benefited from slowing prepayment rates.
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
Looking ahead, we believe the economic expansion will continue, although it appears to be more limited to domestic markets. One potential threat is the global trade dispute, which remains unresolved, though it seems to be having a greater impact abroad, particularly in China, than here in the U.S. There is heightened focus on the impact of higher rates on the economy, but interest rates remain relatively accommodative. It appears that the Federal Reserve will continue its trajectory of quarterly rate hikes, which would place the federal funds rate at 3% in June 2019. We believe the Treasury curve will flatten and potentially invert, but later and at higher interest rates than the market had previously expected – and we do not believe the inversion itself is a precursor to recession. Should interest rates rise toward 4%, we would consider that restrictive, thus increasing the potential for recession independent of the shape of the curve itself. In the meantime, we may employ higher durations tactically, but overall remain quite defensive against rising interest rates.
____________________
The Osterweis Total Return Fund may invest fixed income securities which are subject to credit, default, extension, interest rate and prepayment risks. It may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in foreign and emerging market securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. Leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. It may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. The Fund may invest in municipal securities which are subject to the risk of default.

Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (866) 236-0050.
Growth of $10K (Inception to 9/30/2018)

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on December 30, 2016 and is not intended to imply any future performance. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced (See Note 3). The chart assumes reinvestment of capital gains, dividends and return of capital, if applicable, for the Fund and dividends for an index.

Note 1 – Organization
|
The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and Osterweis Total Return Fund (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) are diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The Funds commenced operations on October 1, 1993, August 30, 2002, August 31, 2010, November 30, 2016 and December 30, 2016, respectively.
The investment objective of the Osterweis Fund is to attain long-term total returns, which it seeks by investing primarily in equity securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund is to preserve capital and attain long-term total returns through a combination of current income and moderate capital appreciation, which it seeks by investing primarily in income bearing securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund is to attain long-term total returns and capital preservation, which it seeks by investing in both equity and fixed income securities that the Adviser believes can deliver attractive long-term returns and enhanced capital preservation. The investment objective of the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund is to attain long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Osterweis Total Return Fund is to preserve capital and attain long-term total returns through a combination of current income and moderate capital appreciation.
|
Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
|
A.
|
Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. national or foreign securities exchanges are valued either at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities which may include REITs, BDCs and MLPs that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.
|
|
|
Debt securities are valued by using the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent pricing service. The independent pricing service may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. In the absence of a price from a pricing service, securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
|
||
|
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
|
||
|
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
|
|
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
|
43
Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
|
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
|
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
|
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
|
|
|
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
|
|
|
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments and derivative positions as of September 30, 2018:

Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures contracts, which are presented at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the investment.
|
|
The Fund did not invest in any Level 3 securities nor have transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the six months ended September 30, 2018.
|
|
|
The Funds have provided additional disclosures below regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting by enabling investors to understand how and why the Funds use futures contracts (a type of derivative), how they are accounted for and how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The Funds may use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Funds may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments and to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets.
|
|
|
The average notional amount for futures contracts is based on the monthly notional amounts. The notional amount for futures contracts represents the U.S. dollar value of the contract as of the day of opening the transaction or latest contract reset date. The Osterweis Total Return Fund’s average notional value of futures contracts outstanding during the six months ended September 30, 2018 was $51,278,389. The following tables show the effects of derivative instruments on the financial statements.

B.
|
Foreign Currency. Foreign currency amounts, other than the cost of investments, are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the spot exchange rate prior to the close of regular trading. The cost of investments is translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates the portfolio securities were acquired. The Funds include foreign exchange gains and losses from dividends receivable, interest receivable and other foreign currency denominated payables and receivables in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation and Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of securities for financial reporting purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments are thus included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and Net realized gain (loss) on investments.
|
|
|
C.
|
Futures Contracts. Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities (through index futures or options) or currencies. The purchase of futures contracts may be more efficient or cost-effective than buying the underlying securities or assets. A futures contract is an agreement that obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset (or settle for cash the value of a contract based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specific price on the contract maturity date. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to pledge to the counterparty an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange or the broker. Pursuant to a contract entered into with a futures commission merchant, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the firm an amount of cash equal to the cumulative daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Each Fund will cover its current obligations under futures contracts by the segregation of liquid assets or by entering into offsetting transactions or owning positions covering its obligations. The Funds’ use of futures contracts may involve risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risk associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. These risks include the risk that the value of the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates or indices that they are designed to track. Other risks include: an illiquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Funds’ initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); and the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. The Osterweis Total Return Fund had futures contracts activity during the six months ended September 30, 2018. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund did not have futures contracts activity during the six months ended September 30, 2018.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
|
D.
|
To-be-announced (“TBA”) Commitments. Each Fund may enter into TBA purchase commitments. In a TBA transaction, the TBA unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when a Fund enters into a contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, which can be 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, US government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. The Funds may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge their portfolio positions or to sell securities they own under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If a Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
|
|
|
E.
|
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
|
|
|
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends, in each calendar year, at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
|
||
|
Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. Net investment losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
|
||
|
As of fiscal year end, March 31, 2018, the Funds deferred, on a tax basis, late year and post-October losses of:

As of September 30, 2018, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, as of September 30, 2018, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on an identified cost basis.

Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs and MLPs are generally comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

|
|
H.
|
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
|
I.
|
Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities 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 net asset value per share.
|
|
|
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 as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
|
K.
|
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and equivalents in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income earned on restricted cash is recorded in other income on the Statements of Operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-08, Receivables— Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The amendments in ASU No. 2017-08 shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU No. 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; which continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
|
|
|
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concept Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The objective and primary focus of the project are to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to the financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of the financial statements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13. Management has chosen to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures for the six months ended September 30, 2018.

Note 3 – Commitments and Other Related Party Transactions
|
Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisers”) provide the Funds with investment management services under separate Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers furnish all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and most of the personnel needed by each Fund. As compensation for their services, the Advisers are entitled to a monthly fee. For the Osterweis Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.75% of the average daily net assets greater than $250 million. For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million, 0.75% of the average daily net assets from $250 million to $2.5 billion, and 0.65% of the average daily net assets greater than $2.5 billion. For the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% for the average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.75% for the average daily net assets greater than $500 million. For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.85% of the average daily net assets from $500 million to $1 billion, and 0.75% of the average daily net assets greater than $1 billion. For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets. The amount of investment advisory fees incurred by the Funds for the six months ended September 30, 2018 is disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser, net of any waiver or reimbursement discussed below.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the annual ratio of expenses for the Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and Osterweis Total Return Fund by reducing all or a portion of their fees and reimbursing Fund expenses so that each Fund’s ratios of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 0.95%, 1.25% and 0.75%, respectively. Each Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser. Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed by the Adviser pursuant to an agreed-upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, any time before the end of the third year following the fee waiver and/or expense absorption, provided the aggregate amount of the Fund’s current operating expenses for such year does not exceed the lesser expense cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board review and approval. For the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Adviser waived $169,489 in fees in the Osterweis Fund and recouped $8,126 in fees in the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and $7,529 in fees in the Osterweis Total Return Fund. As of September 30, 2018, the remaining cumulative amount the Adviser may be reimbursed was $219,754 for Osterweis Fund and $16,013 for Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund.
The Adviser may recapture a portion of the above no later than the years as stated below:

Osterweis Funds | Expense Examples For the Six Months Ended September 30, 2018 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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 (April 1, 2018 – September 30, 2018).
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line of each Fund’s table provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load 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, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, the Funds’ transfer agent currently charges a $15.00 fee. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of 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 may vary. These expenses are not included in the following examples. The following examples include, but are not limited to, investment advisory fees, fund accounting fees, fund administration fees, custody fees and transfer agent fees. However, the following examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. 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 the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of each Fund’s table provides 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 the other funds.

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
OSTERWEIS FUND
OSTERWEIS STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
OSTERWEIS STRATEGIC INVESTMENT FUND
OSTERWEIS EMERGING OPPORTUNITY FUND
OSTERWEIS TOTAL RETURN FUND
At a meeting held on August 21, 2018, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act) considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. for Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC for the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and the Osterweis Total Return Fund (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”). Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC are referred to individually as an “Adviser” and collectively as the “Advisers” or “Osterweis.” At this meeting and at a prior meeting held on May 30-31, 2018, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Advisers and the services provided by the Advisers to the Funds under the Advisory Agreements. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreements:
|
1.
|
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisers under the Advisory Agreements. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisers’ overall services provided to the Funds as well as their specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisers involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisers, including information regarding their compliance program, their chief compliance officer and the Advisers’ compliance record, as well as the Advisers’ cybersecurity program and business continuity plan. The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Advisers and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Advisers’ operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Advisers in person to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as, various marketing and compliance topics, including the Advisers’ risk management process. The Board concluded that the Advisers had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing their duties under the Advisory Agreements, and that the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services are satisfactory.
|
|
|
2.
|
The Funds’ historical performance and the overall performance of the Advisers. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Advisers, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications and appropriate securities benchmarks, all for periods ended March 31, 2018. While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing each Fund’s performance against its comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of each Fund, as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe.
|
|
|
For the Osterweis Fund, the Board noted that the Fund underperformed its peer group median for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the underperformance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s outperformance compared to the Adviser’s core equity composite for the one-year period, and its underperformance for the three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018, and considered the reasons given by the Adviser for such underperformance.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group median for the one-year and three year periods, and underperformed for the five-year and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the outperformance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark for the
|

|
one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Adviser’s strategic income composite for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended March 31, 2018.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had underperformed its peer group median for the one-year, three-year and five- year periods. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it underperformed for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Adviser’s flexible balanced composite for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had outperformed its peer group median for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it outperformed for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s slight underperformance compared to the Adviser’s emerging growth composite for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods ended March 31, 2018.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had underperformed its peer group median for the one-year period. The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting it underperformed for the one-year period. The Board also considered the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Adviser’s total return composite for the one-year period ended March 31, 2018. In considering the performance of the Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had less than three years of operations.
|
||
|
In reviewing performance, the Board took into account that recent relative performance, measured through March 31, 2018, has been poor, and that this recent underperformance has impacted comparative performance across multiple time periods specifically for the Osterweis Fund and the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund. The Board also took into account that performance for the Osterweis Fund and the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund measured through various prior periods had been much more competitive than performance measured through March 31, 2018. The Board took into account the explanations provided by Osterweis as to the reasons for its recent underperformance and determined to continue to closely monitor performance of the Funds.
|
||
|
3.
|
The costs of the services provided by the Advisers and the structure of the Advisers’ fees under the Advisory Agreements. In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of each Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients advised by the Advisers, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into consideration the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts. The Trustees found that the fees charged to the Funds were generally lower than the fees charged by the Advisers to their similarly managed separate account clients, but to the extent fees charged to a Fund were higher than for similarly managed separate accounts of a similar size, the differences were due to a number of factors.
|
|
|
For the Osterweis Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.95% (the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was higher than its peer group median and average and the net expense ratio was slightly higher than its peer group median and average. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund and that the Adviser had recently lowered the breakpoint from $500 million to $250 million, although the Fund’s assets are not currently at a size where the breakpoint has been reached. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than those of its peer group median and average. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.
|
58
Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)
|
For the Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund, the Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than those of its peer group median and average. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund, although Fund assets had not yet grown to a point where the breakpoint has been reached. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 1.25% (the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than those of its peer group median and average. The Board considered that the advisory fee included breakpoints in order to share economies of scale with the Fund, although Fund assets had not yet grown to a point where the breakpoint has been reached. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.
|
||
|
For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.75% (the “Expense Cap”). The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than those of its peer group median and average. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Adviser were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.
|
||
|
4.
|
Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisers that should be shared with shareholders. The Board noted that the Advisory Agreements for each Fund (other than the Osterweis Total Return Fund) contain breakpoints in the advisory fee. The Board also noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse expenses so that the Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, and Osterweis Total Return Fund do not exceed their respective expense caps. The Board noted that at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being realized by the Adviser that should be shared with shareholders and concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed and assuming asset levels continued to increase.
|
|
|
5.
|
The profits to be realized by the Advisers and their affiliates from their relationship with the Funds. The Board reviewed the Advisers’ financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisers from advising the Funds. The Board considered the profitability to the Advisers from their relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits derived by the Advisers from their relationship with the Funds, particularly benefits received in exchange for “soft dollars” paid to the Advisers. The Board also reviewed information regarding fee offsets for separate accounts invested in the Funds and determined that the Advisers were not receiving an advisory fee both at the separate account and at the Fund level for these accounts, and as a result was not receiving additional fall-out benefits from these relationships. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisers with respect to the Advisory Agreements was not excessive, and that the Advisers had maintained adequate profit levels to support the services they provide to the Funds.
|
No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreements, but rather the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to the Trustees. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Advisers, including each Fund’s advisory fee, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreements would be in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
