Zevenbergen Funds

Notes to the Financial Statements

December 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

 

Zevenbergen Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) and Zevenbergen Genea Fund (the “Genea Fund”; each a “Fund”, and collectively the “Funds”) are non-diversified series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the “Trust”). The Trust, a Delaware Statutory Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. Zevenbergen Capital Investments LLC (the “Advisor”) serves as the investment manager to the Funds. The inception date of the Funds was August 31, 2015. The Funds’ investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.

 

Growth Fund and Genea Fund, each, currently offer two classes of shares, Institutional Class and Investor Class. Each share class represents an equal interest in the Fund, except the difference of class specific expenses, which reflects the difference in the range of services provided to each class. Income, expenses (other than class specific), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated daily to each class based on relative net assets.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for investment companies. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946. The presentation 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

A. Securities Valuation

 

The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Advisor’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). The inputs or methodology used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad categories as defined below:

 


Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for a security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
     

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 - Significant unobservable inputs, including the Advisor’s assumptions in determining fair value of investments.

 

Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When reliable market quotations are not readily available or a pricing service does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Advisor does not represent the security’s fair value) or when, in the judgment of the Advisor, events have rendered the market value unreliable, a security is fair valued in good faith by the Advisor under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Short-term investments classified as money market instruments are valued at net asset value (“NAV”). These investments are categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

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 fair values of the Funds’ investments in each category investment type as of December 31, 2023:

Total Investments   $ 88,767,627     $     $     $ 88,767,627  

 

Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for further classification.

 

B. Concentration and Sector Risks

 

To the extent the investment strategy invests more heavily in particular industries, groups of industries, or sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those industries, groups of industries, or sectors of the economy. As of December 31, 2023, over 25% of each Fund’s assets were invested in securities of both the consumer discretionary and technology sectors. Some relevant risks related to the sectors are described below:

 

Consumer Discretionary. Changes in the domestic and international economies, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence, disposable household income, and consumer spending may affect companies in this sector.

 

Technology. Changes in domestic and international competition, economic cycles, financial resources, personnel availability, rapid innovation and intellectual property issues may affect companies in this sector.

 

C. Security Transactions, Investment Income and Distributions

 

The Funds record security transactions based on trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated by comparing the original cost of the specifically identified security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex -dividend date, and interest income is recognized 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.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

D. Federal Income Taxes

 

The Funds have elected to be taxed as Regulated Investment Companies (“RIC”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intend to maintain this qualification and to distribute substantially all of their net taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions (if any) and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Funds.

 

Management of the Funds is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. Generally, tax authorities can examine tax returns filed for the preceding three years. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

 

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Trust entered into an agreement for the Advisor to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Under the terms of this agreement, Growth Fund and Genea Fund will pay the Advisor a monthly fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 0.80%.

 

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse each Fund’s operating expenses (excluding shareholder servicing fees, any front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, merger or reorganization-related expenses, portfolio transaction expenses, interest expense and dividends paid on short sales, and extraordinary expenses) to ensure they do not exceed, on an annual basis, the expense limitations, expressed as a percentage rate of the average daily net assets of each Fund, listed below. Waivers or reimbursements are calculated daily and settled monthly or quarterly in conjunction with each Fund's payment of advisory fees.

 

Fund Investor Class Institutional Class
Growth Fund 1.15% 0.90%
Genea Fund 1.15% 0.90%

 

See Note 6 – Shareholder Servicing Plan for shareholder servicing fees charged in addition to fees outlined in this table.

 

The Advisor is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within three years if a class’s total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the expense limitation (“expense cap”) in effect at the time the fees were earned or the expenses incurred. However, in no case will the Advisor recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day, in a class’s total annual operating expenses exceeding the expense cap or any other lower limit then in effect.

NOTE 5 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION

 

At June 30, 2023, the components of distributable earnings for income tax purposes were as follows:

 

    Growth     Genea  
    Fund     Fund  
Cost of investments   $ 71,017,713     $ 48,025,654  
Gross unrealized appreciation     41,927,915       39,448,808  
Gross unrealized depreciation     (5,215,320 )     (7,157,367 )
Net unrealized appreciation on investments     36,712,595       32,291,441  
Undistributed ordinary income            
                 
Undistributed long-term capital gains            
Accumulated earnings            
                 
Capital loss carryforwards     (17,471,750 )     (44,310,737 )
Other book/tax temporary differences     (64,263 )      
Total accumulated gains/losses   $ 19,176,582     $ (12,019,296 )

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable in part to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets 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 June 30, 2023, permanent differences, due to net operating losses, in book and tax accounting have been reclassified to capital and distributable earnings as follows:

 

      Distributable Earnings   Paid In Capital
Growth Fund     $ 1,168,561     $ (1,168,561 )
Genea Fund     $ 1,433,886     $ (1,433,886 )

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)

December 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

 

NOTE 5 – FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

 

The Funds paid no distributions for the six months ended December 31, 2023 or the year ended June 30, 2023.

 

The Funds are required, in order to meet certain excise tax requirements, to measure and distribute annually, net capital gains realized during the twelve month period ending October 31. In connection with this requirement, the Funds are permitted, for tax purposes, to defer into their next fiscal year any net capital losses incurred from November 1 through the end of the fiscal year. Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. At June 30, 2023, the Funds deferred the following losses on a tax basis:

 

      Late Year Loss   Post October Loss
Growth Fund     $ 64,263     $  
Genea Fund     $     $  

 

At June 30, 2023, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards, which reduce the Funds’ taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investments, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal tax. Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code, the character of such capital loss carryforwards is as follows:

 

      Capital Loss Carryforwards Not Subject to Expiration  
      Short-Term   Long-Term   Total         
Growth Fund     $ 17,471,750     $     $ 17,471,750  
Genea Fund     $ 17,681,943     $ 26,628,794     $ 44,310,737  

 

NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

 

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan to pay a fee at an annual rate on average daily net assets as follows:

 

Fund Investor Class Institutional Class
Growth Fund 0.15% 0.10%
Genea Fund 0.15% 0.10%

 

The Shareholder Servicing Plan authorizes payment of a shareholder servicing fee to the financial intermediaries and other service providers who provide administrative and support services to Fund shareholders.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2023, class specific Shareholder Servicing fees were as follows:

 

Fund     Investor Class   Institutional Class
Growth Fund     $ 10,015     $ 45,329  
Genea Fund     $ 31,389     $ 19,638  

 

NOTE 7 – DISTRIBUTION PLAN

 

The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b -1 under the 1940 Act that allows each Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Investor Class shares. The Plan provides for the payment of distribution fees at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2023, distribution fees incurred are disclosed on the Statements of Operations.

NOTE 8 – INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

In the normal course of business, each Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications by each Fund to the counterparty to the contract. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against each Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

NOTE 9 – REDEMPTION FEES

 

Each Fund charges a 1.00% redemption fee on the redemption of Investor Class and Institutional Class shares held for 90 days or less. This fee (which is paid into the Fund) is imposed in order to help offset the transaction costs and administrative expenses associated with the activities of short-term “market timers” that engage in the frequent purchase and sale of Fund shares. The fee is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. Each Fund reserves the right to modify the terms of or terminate the fee at any time. There are limited exceptions to the imposition of the redemption fee. Please refer to Statements of Changes in Net Assets for fees recognized.

 

NOTE 10 – CONTROL OWNERSHIP

 

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of the funds create resumption of control of the funds under 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2023, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. held approximately 54.06% and Pershing LLC held approximately 40.55%, in aggregate for the benefit of others, of the outstanding shares of the Growth Fund and Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. held approximately 77.57%, in aggregate for the benefit of others, of the outstanding shares of the Genea Fund.

 

NOTE 11 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

Effective at the close of business on January 19, 2024, the Funds reorganized into newly created series of Advisor Managed Portfolio (the “Acquiring Funds”). The Acquiring Funds have the same investment objective, investment strategies, and fundamental investment restrictions as the Funds, and the same investment advisor and portfolio managers as the Funds.

Zevenbergen Funds

Expense Example

December 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

 

 

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six month period and held for the entire six month period from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “six month period”).

 

Actual Expenses

 

The “Actual Fund Return” lines in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the six month period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the corresponding line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Six Month Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the six month period.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The information in the table with the lines titled “Hypothetical 5% Return” 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 returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the six month 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.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the information in the lines titled “Hypothetical 5% Return” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Hypothetical 5% Return $1,000.00 $1,021.11 1.00% $5.08

 


(1) Expenses are equal to each of the Funds’ annualized expense ratio as indicated, multiplied by the average account value over the six month period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the “six month period”)

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

 

At a meeting held on June 1, 2023, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) of Advisor Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), including all Trustees who were not “interested persons” of the Trust (“Independent Trustees”), as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, considered and approved an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) with Zevenbergen Capital Investments LLC (the “Adviser”), for the Zevenbergen Genea Fund and Zevenbergen Growth Fund (each a “Fund” and together, the “Funds”). The Funds are the successor to a corresponding series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (“Predecessor Trust”) with the same name (each, a “Predecessor Fund” and together, the “Predecessor Funds”). The Predecessor Funds reorganized into the Funds on January 19, 2024.

 

In advance of the meeting, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Adviser, and the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. This information formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. The Trustees considered the review of the Advisory Agreement to be an ongoing process and employed the accumulated information, knowledge, and experience they had gained with the Adviser and Predecessor Funds as members of the board of trustees of the Predecessor Trust. The information prepared specifically for the review of the Advisory Agreement supplemented the information provided to the Trustees throughout the year related to the Adviser and the Predecessor Funds. The board of the Predecessor Trust and its committees met regularly during the year and the information provided and topics discussed at such meetings were relevant to the Board’s review of the Advisory Agreement. Some of these reports and other data included, among other things, materials that outlined the investment performance of the Predecessor Funds; compliance, regulatory, and risk management matters; the trading practices of the Adviser; valuation of investments; fund expenses; and overall market and regulatory developments. The Independent Trustees were advised by independent legal counsel during the review process, including meeting in executive sessions with such counsel without representatives from the Adviser present. In connection with their review, the Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from independent legal counsel outlining their fiduciary duties and legal standards in reviewing the Advisory Agreement.

 

In considering the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors and made the following determinations. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor or piece of information as all important, controlling, or determinative of its decision, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors and information.

 


In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser, the Trustees considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of the day-to-day management of the Funds, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers and other key personnel who are involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board considered the Adviser’s resources and compliance structure, including information regarding its compliance program, chief compliance officer, and compliance record, and its disaster recovery/business continuity plan. The Board also considered the existing relationship between the Adviser and each Predecessor Fund, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Adviser’s operations, and noted that during the course of the year the board of the Predecessor Trust met with the Adviser to discuss each Predecessor Fund’s performance and the Adviser’s investment outlook, as well as various marketing and compliance topics, including the Adviser’s risk management process. The Board 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 Advisory Agreement and that, in the Board’s view, the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management services provided were and would continue to be satisfactory and reliable.

In assessing the quality of the portfolio management to be delivered by the Adviser, the Board considered the performance of each Predecessor Fund Institutional share class for various periods as of March 31, 2023, on both an absolute basis and in comparison, to its peer group, benchmark index, and a comparable composite of accounts managed by the Adviser.

 

ZEVENBERGEN GENEA FUND

 


The Board considered that the Predecessor Fund had underperformed relative to its peer group average/median and benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending March 31, 2023. The Board considered that as of March 31, 2023, the Predecessor Fund outperformed compared to its composite for the one-year period but underperformed for the three- and five-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund had a performance record of over five years. The Board also considered the secular growth exposure of the Fund’s strategy and the long-term performance of the Adviser’s separately managed accounts.

 

ZEVENBERGEN GROWTH FUND

 


The Board considered that the Fund had underperformed relative to its peer group median and its benchmark index for the one-, three-, and five-year periods ending of March 31, 2023. Noting that for the same period end, the Fund underperformed relative to its peer group average for the one- and three-year periods, but outperformed over the five-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund outperformed relative to the Adviser’s composite for the one-, three- and five-year periods. The Board also considered the secular growth exposure of the Fund’s strategy and the long-term performance of the Adviser’s separately managed accounts.

 


The Trustees also reviewed the cost of the Adviser’s services, and the structure and level of advisory fee payable by each Fund, including a comparison of the fee to fees payable by a peer group of funds. The Board noted that the Adviser had agreed to maintain each Predecessor Fund’s contractual annual expense limitation for each of the Fund’s classes. The Board noted that each Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio were higher than its peer group median/average, but were within the peer group range.

 


The Trustees considered whether, based on the estimated asset size of each Fund, economies of scale may be achieved. The Trustees concluded that they will have the opportunity to periodically reexamine whether economies of scale have been achieved as each Fund’s assets grow.

 


The Trustees considered the profitability of the Adviser from managing each Predecessor Fund. In assessing the Adviser’s profitability, the Trustees took into account both direct and indirect benefits to the Adviser from managing each Predecessor Fund. The Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s expected profits from managing each Fund were not excessive and, after a review of the relevant financial information, that the Adviser appeared to have adequate capitalization and/or would maintain adequate profit levels to support the Funds.
