Jensen Quality Growth Fund |
Letter from The Investment Adviser
DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS:
The Jensen Quality Growth Fund* (the Fund) -- Class J Shares declined 8.15% for the six months ended November 30, 2011, compared to a decline of 6.25% over this period for the Standard & Poors 500 Index. Please see pages 4 through 6 of this report for complete standardized performance information for the Fund.
Market Perspective
Over the last six months U.S. equity markets appeared to reflect world economic and geopolitical concerns, ultimately delivering negative returns in nearly every sector within the broad S&P 500 benchmark. Only the Utilities sector showed strong positive return while the Consumer Staples sector was barely positive. The returns marked a contrast to returns earlier in the calendar year, negating substantially all of the positive returns generated as investors continued to hope for an economic rebound that ultimately did not materialize in a way that matched expectations.
Investors appear to once again be approaching the markets with uncertainty and fear, which has driven an increasing amount of volatility over the last six months. This is certainly understandable given the broad array of issues that have unfolded, including: the domestic budgetary showdown and subsequent credit rating downgrade of U.S. debt, European sovereign debt levels and European Union survival, global economic fallout from natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, Middle East tensions, persistent domestic underemployment and continued weakness in the domestic housing market.
The Effect at Jensen
In large part, the Funds underperformance for the period can be attributed to the unusually volatile returns during the month of July. The Funds performance from August through November 30, 2011, has been more in line with our expectations. To read more about the July underperformance, as well as other performance periods, please visit the Commentary section of our website at http://jenseninvestment.com/mutualfund/JPfundFactSheets.cfm.
More specific within the period, stock selection added value in the Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Materials sectors, while stock selection in the Health Care, Information Technology and Consumer Staples sectors detracted from returns. As noted earlier, the Utilities sector had strong positive return over the period which provided a significant headwind to performance. The Fund does not have any presence in the Utilities sector as few companies meet Jensens strict performance criteria critical to inclusion in the investment discipline.
Leading contributors to performance during the period were Nike, the worlds leading footwear, sportswear and equipment supplier, Abbott and Colgate-Palmolive. Adobe and Stryker suffered from difficult market reactions to lowered performance expectations stemming from the economy and thus detracted from portfolio performance.
We believe that Abbott is steadily negotiating choppy industry waters and investors reacted positively to the proposed split of the companys businesses in 2012. Colgate-Palmolive has been able to deal with a difficult commodity cost environment and increasing competitor efforts. It has relied upon its substantial large share positions, particularly in many international markets and consistent deployment of its strong cash flows into new products is driving additional demand.
Adobe and Stryker have
individually shown good business performance on the back of new products and
innovations. At the same time, industry and economic dynamics caused both
companies to temper expectations somewhat for future growth. Whenever quality
companies such as these communicate lower expectations, markets tend to react
negatively. At Jensen, we constantly assess and reassess the opportunities and
outlooks for our businesses. We are encouraged by the transition that Adobe is
undertaking in its business model and enhancements to its product offerings. We
believe Adobe is well positioned to produce high single- to low double-digit
earnings growth over the next few years. At current valuations, we believe it
remains an attractive holding within the Jensen strategy. Despite worries over
implementation of domestic health care legislation, the opportunities for
Stryker remain positive although our expectations have been
reduced.

Portfolio Changes
Sysco was sold during this period. As the largest North American distributor of food and related products to the restaurant industry, concerns persisted around end market weakness and execution risk with business transformation initiatives. With these threats to future growth in place, we believe there are more attractive quality growth businesses in which to invest.
Laboratory Corporation of America (LabCorp) was added to the Fund during the period. As the second largest independent clinical laboratory company in the United States, LabCorp exhibits the components we seek in a quality growth company. LabCorp is the number two North American clinical lab in terms of volume in an industry that is highly fragmented beyond the top two competitors. Its primary competitive advantage is scale. LabCorp is the industrys cost leader due to operational advantages, including a centralized IT platform. It benefits from a relatively stable end market demand, strong market share position and improving industry dynamics that have resulted from the consolidation of the laboratory testing business over the past decade. In line with our approach to adding businesses, not only is LabCorp a quality company but we were able to purchase the stock at what we believe is an attractive price.
We started a position in Varian Medical Systems at the end of the period with continuing investment in early December. Varian is a medical equipment company focused primarily on x-ray technology applications. Products include radiation therapy devices, x-ray tubes, and digital image detectors. The companys sales are split between domestic and foreign markets, primarily Europe and Asia. Varian has a dominant global market share and a large installed base of radiation therapy equipment. Switching costs are high due to a steep learning curve for using the equipment and the need for a robust service infrastructure. The company believes it can grow sales at low double-digit rates and earnings slightly faster. Overall health care concerns have given us what we believe is an attractive entry point for the stock. To fund this new position, the Jensen Investment Committee trimmed positions from the Funds existing Healthcare holdings.
The Jensen Outlook
Volatility is likely to persist so long as the Eurozone issues remain unresolved and we believe the 2012 U.S. election cycle has the potential to be more disruptive than usual.
At Jensen, we expect that it will be some time before investors will see the issues of the day subside. Yet we believe there will continue to be slow but steady positives in the U.S. economy and that the companies in the Jensen Quality Growth Fund are well-positioned to navigate this macroeconomic environment. Just as importantly, we do believe that there continue to be opportunities to invest in high-quality companies at attractive prices. Our investment expectations do not rely on robust consumer spending or on aggressive capital spending by businesses, although improvements in these two areas would be a plus.
Additionally, many high-quality companies possess strong balance sheets with significant cash balances, debt capacity and cash flows that companies are reinvesting for growth, whether such growth is achieved organically or through acquisitions. The companies in the Fund continue to produce consistently high returns on equity as well as a high return on invested capital. Such performance, relative to the current low costs of capital, has the potential to create significant shareholder value. Of course, this will require appropriate recognition by the markets of such business performance, thus necessitating a level of patience from investors. The business performance of the companies in the Fund has resulted in double-digit dividend growth, providing current compensation for the patient investor.
Also, earnings through September 2011 grew at low double-digit rates for our companies, and we anticipate similar results going forward. In our view, the sustainable competitive advantages that our companies possess along with continued investment of free cash flow provides the opportunity for consistent long-term business growth regardless of the macroeconomic environment. The companies in the Fund are also seeking to enhance organic growth through strategic acquisitions which are to be funded through existing cash flow or inexpensive debt. We believe the ongoing actions taken by the companies in the Jensen Quality Growth Fund are an appropriate response to the uncertain times. We remain committed to our belief that ownership of quality growth businesses is a sound decision for patient investors and trust our investors will continue to share our belief.
Cordially,
The Jensen Investment Committee

Jensen Quality Growth Fund |
Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
The Jensen Portfolio, Inc., doing business as Jensen Quality Growth Fund (the Fund) was organized as an Oregon Corporation on April 17, 1992, and is registered as an open-end, nondiversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Fund commenced operations on August 3, 1992. The Fund is authorized to issue 5,000,000,000 shares of common stock. The Fund currently offers three different classes of shares. Effective July 30, 2003, the Fund issued two new classes of shares, Class R and Class I, and renamed the existing class as Class J. Class J shares are subject to a 0.25% 12b-1 fee and a sub-transfer agency fee; Class R shares are subject to a 0.50% 12b-1 fee and up to a 0.25% shareholder servicing fee, and Class I shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee up to 0.10%, as described in each Class prospectus. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the 12b-1 fees, sub-transfer agency fees and shareholder servicing fees, and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares. The principal investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America (GAAP).
a) Investment Valuation Securities that are listed on United States stock exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, if there has been no sale on that day, at their current bid price. Investments in open-end and closed-end registered investment companies, including money market funds, that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of day net asset value per share. Quotations are taken from the market in which the security is primarily traded. Over-the-counter securities are valued at current bid price in the absence of a closing price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by Jensen Investment Management, Inc. (the Investment Adviser) at or under the direction of the Funds Board of Directors.
There is no definitive set of circumstances under which the Fund may elect to use fair value procedures to value a security. Although the Fund only invests in publicly traded securities, the large majority of which are large capitalization, highly liquid securities, they nonetheless may become securities for which market quotations are not readily available, such as in instances where the market quotation for a security has become stale, sales of a security have been infrequent, trading in the security has been suspended, or where there is a thin market in the security. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at their fair value as determined under the Funds fair valuation procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Fund is prohibited from investing in restricted securities (securities issued in private placement transactions that may not be offered or sold to the public without registration under the securities laws); therefore, fair value pricing considerations for restricted securities are generally not applicable to the Fund.
Fair Value Measurement The Fund has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 | Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. | |
Level 2 | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active and prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc. | |
Level 3 | Inputs that are unobservable (including the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants use to make valuation decisions, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may include price information, volatility statistics, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. However,the determination of what constitutes observable requires significant judgment by the Fund. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The categorization of a financial instrument within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Funds perceived risk of that instrument.
Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, include active listed equities and certain money market securities, and are classified within Level 1. Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of November 30, 2011, to value the Funds investments carried at fair value. The inputs and methodology used for valuing securities may not be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund did not hold any investments during the six months ended November 30, 2011 with significant unobservable inputs which would be classified as Level 3. There were no transfers of securities between levels during the reporting period. It is the Funds policy to record transfers between levels as of the end of the reporting period. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
b) Federal Income Taxes No provision has been made for Federal income taxes since the Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company and intends to distribute substantially all net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provision of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
The Fund has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken as of and for the year ended May 31, 2011. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax benefits in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities. As of May 31, 2011, open Federal tax years include the tax years ended May 31, 2009 through 2011. The Fund has no examination in progress. The Fund is also 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.
c) Distributions to Shareholders Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between the components of net assets. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended May 31, 2011, there were no reclassifications made.
d) Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
e) Guarantees and Indemnifications Under the Funds organizational documents, each Director, officer, employee or other agent of the Fund is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
f) Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Transfer agent fees and reports to shareholders are allocated based on the number of shareholder accounts in each class. Sub-transfer agency fees are expensed to the Class J shares based on the actual number of shareholder accounts held and serviced by certain financial intermediaries as described in the Class J shares prospectus. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Class J shares and 0.50% of average daily net assets of Class R shares. Shareholder servicing fees are expensed at up to 0.10% and up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class I shares and Class R shares, respectively.
g) Other Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. Gains or losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified carrying value. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.

4. Income Taxes
The cost of investments differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to the deferral of losses on wash sales.

Cost of investments | $ | 3,196,472,769 | ||
Gross unrealized appreciation | 1,000,424,124 | |||

Net unrealized appreciation | 962,763,637 | |||
Undistributed ordinary income | 5,908,831 | |||
Undistributed long-term capital gain | | |||

5. Line of Credit
The Fund has a $250 million revolving credit facility for temporary emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The unsecured line of credit has a one year term and is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The current agreement runs through December 21, 2012. The interest rate on the outstanding principal amount is equal to the prime rate less 1%. As of November 30, 2011, the rate on the Funds line of credit was 2.25%. The fund did not borrow on the line of credit during the six months ended November 30, 2011.
6. Investment Advisory Agreement
The Fund has an Investment Advisory and Service Contract with Jensen Investment Management, Inc. Effective April 1, 2011, the Fund adopted breakpoints to its advisory fee schedule. Pursuant to the advisory agreement and breakpoint schedule, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% as applied to the Funds average daily net assets of $4 billion or less, 0.475% as applied to the Funds average daily net assets of more than $4 billion, up to $8 billion, 0.45% as applied to the Funds average daily net assets of more than $8 billion, up to $12 billion, and 0.425% as applied to the Funds average daily net assets of more than $12 billion. Prior to April 1, 2011, the Investment Adviser was entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.50% as applied to the Funds average daily net assets.

7. Distribution and Shareholder Servicing
The Fund has adopted a distribution and shareholder servicing plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the 12b-1 Plan), which provides that the Fund make payments to the Funds distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class J shares and 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. The Funds distributor may then make payments to financial intermediaries or others at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class J shares and up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares. Payments under the 12b-1 Plan shall be used to compensate the Funds distributor or others for services provided and expenses incurred in connection with the sale and/or servicing of shares.
In addition, the Fund has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan for Class I shares under which the Fund can pay for shareholder support services from the Funds assets pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement in an amount not to exceed 0.10% of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class I shares.
Effective July 1, 2011, the Fund adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan for the Class R shares. Under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the Fund can pay for shareholder support services, which include the recordkeeping and administrative services provided by retirement plan administrators to retirement plans (and their participants) that are shareholders of the class. Payments will be made pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Agreement in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the Funds average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares.
8. Beneficial Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. At November 30, 2011, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., for the benefit of its customers, held 45.02% and 30.27% of the outstanding shares of the Class J and Class I share classes respectively. Also, National Financial Services, for the benefit of its customers, held 25.20% of the outstanding shares of the Class I share class. At November 30, 2011, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and State Street Bank Trust, for the benefit of their customers, owned 27.99% and 25.83%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Class R share class.
9. New Tax Law
On December 22, 2010, The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Modernization Act) was signed into law. The Modernization Act is the first major piece of legislation affecting regulated investment companies (RICs) since 1986 and it modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Some highlights of the enacted provisions are as follows:
New capital losses may now be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss. Under pre-enactment law, capital losses could be carried forward for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.
The Modernization Act contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for inadvertent failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Modernization Act exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repealed the 60-day designation requirement for certain types of pay-through income and gains.
Finally, the Modernization Act contains several provisions aimed at preserving the character of distributions made by a RIC during the portion of its taxable year ending after October 31 or December 31, reducing the circumstances under which a RIC might be required to file amended Forms 1099 to restate previously reported distributions.
The provisions related to the RIC Modernization Act for qualification testing are effective for the May 31, 2011 taxable year. The effective date for changes in the treatment of capital losses is May 31, 2012 taxable year.

Jensen Quality
Growth Fund
Expense Example November 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of Jensen Quality Growth Fund (the Fund), you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses, which are indirectly paid by shareholders. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six month period (June 1, 2011 November 30, 2011).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below for each share class of the Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder specific fees, such as the $15.00 fee charged to IRA accounts, or the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions and related trading costs. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled Expenses Paid During Period to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratios for each share class of the Fund 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 Fund 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees which, although not charged by the Fund, may be charged by other funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Additional Information (Unaudited)
1. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT DISCLOSURE
Section 15(c) under the 1940 Act requires that a registered investment companys board of directors, including a majority of independent directors voting separately, approve any new investment advisory contract for the fund and thereafter to review and approve the terms of the funds investment advisory agreement on an annual basis. In addition, Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act requires that any new investment advisory agreement be approved by the funds shareholders.
In their most recent deliberations concerning whether to renew the Funds Existing Agreement and whether to approve the New Agreement, the Board of Directors (the Board), including the Funds independent directors (Independent Directors), conducted the review and made the determinations that are described below. During its deliberations, the Board requested from the Adviser, and the Adviser furnished, all information reasonably necessary for it to evaluate both the renewal of the Funds existing investment advisory agreement with the Advisor (Existing Agreement) and the approval of the new investment advisory agreement with the Advisor (New Agreement). The New Agreement was approved by the Funds shareholders at a Special Meeting of the Funds shareholders on November 10, 2010. The term of the New Agreement commenced on February 28, 2011 and will continue until July 31, 2012 unless terminated earlier in accordance with its terms.
The entire Board first met on January 20, 2010 to consider the planned retirement of Robert Millen and the effects his retirement and the resulting change of control of the Adviser might have on the Funds and the Advisers operations. The entire Board met again on April 28, 2010 to consider the information provided by the Adviser in connection with the annual renewal of the Existing Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement. After the April 28 meeting, the Independent Directors met separately with their legal counsel to consider the information provided by the Adviser and identify additional information they needed to evaluate the Existing Agreement and the New Agreement. The entire Board then met again on July 21, 2010 to consider the annual continuation of the Existing Agreement and the approval of the New Agreement. During those meetings, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below, among others. The Board did not identify any single factor as controlling. Moreover, not every factor was given the same weight by each Director.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by the Adviser under the Existing Agreement and the services proposed to be provided under the New Agreement. The Board reviewed the terms of the Existing Agreement and the New Agreement, as well as the history of the Adviser and its investment discipline, its investment performance, and its day-to-day management of the Fund. The Board noted the Advisers focus on the business of the Fund, the compliance and other servicing aspects of the Fund, and the Advisers oversight of the Funds service providers.
The Board considered the proposed changes in the Advisers ownership and management and the potential impact on the Fund and the Adviser. The Board considered the Advisers business continuity plans, its organizational and ownership structure, and the composition of its investment committee, which makes all investment decisions for the Fund. The Board also considered the Advisers approach to risk management. Based on these and other factors, including the additional factors described below, the Board concluded that the services provided to the Fund under the Existing Agreement continued to be satisfactory and were not likely to change materially under the New Agreement.
Investment Performance
The Board examined the investment performance of the Fund compared to the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Growth Index and to the Lipper Large Cap Core Funds and Morningstar Large Cap Growth Funds categories. Performance over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods for the Fund was provided. The Board noted the favorable performance of the Fund for the three-, five- and ten-year periods compared to its relevant securities indices and comparable categories.
The Board observed that the Adviser appeared to have adhered to its strict investment discipline. They noted that the Advisers disciplined approach helped the Fund to be better positioned to weather the significant decline in the market in 2008 and early 2009. As a result of these and other factors, the Board concluded that the long-term investment performance of the Fund continued to be satisfactory.
Advisory Fee and Expense Ratio
The Board compared the Funds advisory fee with those of other comparable mutual funds in the Funds Lipper category. The Board noted that the Funds advisory fee of 0.50% continued to be below the median and the average for its category at similar asset levels, excluding passively managed funds and funds that have no share classes that are offered to retail investors. The
19
Jensen Quality Growth
Fund
Board also noted that the Fund is a single fund (as opposed to one of a larger complex of funds) and that, while the Adviser employs a relatively straightforward investment discipline, the Fund appeared to be an efficiently run operation with a high service component for shareholders. The Board also noted that the advisory fee rate for which the Fund would be responsible under the New Agreement would be unchanged from the Existing Agreement.
The Board compared the fees charged to the Fund with the advisory fees charged to the non-Fund advisory clients of the Adviser. The Board observed that, with the exception of a small number of existing institutional clients where the Adviser believes the competitive market required a lower fee, the Adviser charges its separate accounts a minimum of 0.50%. In addition, the Board noted that the Advisers recently revised fee schedule for separate accounts provides for a minimum fee of 0.50% for individual investors and 0.45% for institutional investors.
The Board considered the Funds expense ratio and the expense ratios of other comparable mutual funds in the Funds Lipper and Morningstar categories. The Board noted that the Funds expense ratio was higher than the median and average of all funds with comparable net assets in its Lipper category but also noted that, when compared to retail class shares of actively managed funds, the Funds expense ratio was lower than the median and the average. Compared to retail class shares of actively managed funds in the Funds Morningstar category, the Board noted that the Funds expense ratio was below the average. The Board also noted that the Fund had a relatively low turnover rate, reducing the Funds transaction costs, which are not included in the Funds expense ratio but are deducted from the Funds net asset value. The Board acknowledged that, with the payment by the Fund of the sub transfer agency recordkeeping and shareholder servicing expenses and fees for certain of the Funds omnibus accounts (Sub TA Fees), the Funds expense ratio had increased during the past year, and was expected to increase further, but remain lower than the Lipper and Morningstar averages for retail-class shares of actively managed funds. In addition, the Board acknowledged that although under the New Agreement the Fund would be authorized to pay, subject to prior approval of the Board, certain costs of the Funds Compliance Personnel now paid by the Adviser, such costs were not expected to increase materially the Funds expense ratio. Otherwise, the Board noted, the expenses for which the Fund would be responsible under the New Agreement would be unchanged from the Existing Agreement. Based on these considerations and other factors, the Board concluded that the Funds advisory fee and expense ratio were reasonable relative to the Funds peer groups.
Profitability of the Adviser
The Board considered the profitability of the Existing Agreement to the Adviser, including an analysis of the Advisers profitability for 2009 and the methodology used to calculate that profitability, and compared the Advisers profitability to that of selected publicly traded mutual fund advisers. Even after adjustments for certain marketing revenues and expenses were made, it appeared that the Advisers pre-tax profit was higher than the average pre-tax profit margin of the group of publicly traded investment advisory firms. It was noted that the Advisers profitability may have been overstated due to the relatively low salaries and bonuses paid to its investment professionals, who may receive distributions of the Advisers profits on account of their equity ownership in the Adviser. The Board considered the fact that the Adviser had paid certain administrative expenses of the Fund and pays the cost of the Funds Chief Compliance Officer, though it noted that under the New Agreement the Fund would be authorized, subject to prior Board approval, to pay for certain costs of the Funds Compliance Personnel in the future. The Board also noted that the Fund had been subsidized by the Adviser during the early years of the Funds existence, and that only in the most recent eight years, as the Funds assets under management have grown, has the Fund contributed significantly to the Advisers profits. In addition, the Board acknowledged the entrepreneurial risk taken by the Adviser when it established the Fund.
The Board also examined the Advisers profitability from the Fund against the Advisers profitability from its separate account advisory business and found that the Fund provided a higher profit margin to the Adviser. The Board noted, however, that when adjustments for certain marketing revenues and expenses were made, the profit margins were similar. The Board understood that the administrative services the Adviser provides to the Fund are, on balance, more extensive than those it provides to its separate accounts and that economies of scale are realized with respect to managing one mutual fund compared to managing approximately 300 separate accounts. The Board also understood that in calculating its profitability from the Fund, the Adviser had been conservative in its method of allocating expenses to its Fund business relative to other acceptable allocation methodologies. The Board noted that the Advisers profitability from the Fund for 2010 was projected to increase as a result of the higher asset levels of the Fund and the payment by the Fund of the Sub TA Fees, which began in October 2009. The Board acknowledged the inherent limitations of profitability analyses, including the use of comparative data that is incomplete or dissimilar, such as financial information of publicly traded mutual fund advisers which have more diversified business lines and different cost structures than those of the Adviser, and the uncertainty of the various cost allocations and other assumptions used. Based on this and other information, the Board concluded that profits earned by the Adviser were not excessive.
20
Jensen Quality Growth
Fund
Economies of Scale
The Board considered whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has benefited from any such economies, and whether the implementation of breakpoints in the Funds advisory fee was appropriate. The Board observed that, during a period of rapid Fund growth, the Funds expense ratio (for the Class J shares) had fallen from about 1% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2002 to 0.92% for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2010, but was expected to increase with the payment by the Fund of the Sub TA Fees for the full year. Regarding the issue of breakpoints, although the Funds assets increased during the past year, the Board observed from the data presented that many comparable funds with breakpoints below the Funds 0.50% advisory fee had higher overall advisory fees at the same asset level as the current asset level of the Fund. Based on the data presented, the Board concluded that a breakpoint in the Funds advisory fee was not warranted at this time, but determined to reexamine the issue as Fund assets increase.
Other Benefits
The Board considered the potential fall-out benefits realized by the Adviser from services as investment manager of the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser has no affiliated entities that provide services to the Fund and that the Adviser prohibits the receipt of third-party research for soft dollars. The Board understood that the Adviser maintained a separate account advisory business and had recently started a new fund. The Board noted that, while the Advisers non-Fund business might benefit from any favorable publicity received by the Fund, any such benefit was difficult to quantify.
Other Factors and Considerations
The Board periodically reviews and considers other material information throughout the year relating to the quality of services provided to the Fund, such as the allocation of Fund brokerage, the marketing, administration and compliance program of the Fund, the Advisers management of its relationship with the Funds administrator, custodian, transfer agent and other service providers, and the expenses paid to those service providers. At its regular meetings, the Board also reviews detailed information relating to the Funds portfolio and performance against various metrics, and participates in discussions with the Funds portfolio managers.
Based on its evaluation of all the relevant factors and the information provided to it, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, voted unanimously on July 21, 2010 (i) to renew the Existing Agreement for a one-year period until July 31, 2011 and (ii) to approve the New Agreement and recommend that shareholders approve the New Agreement.
