MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited)

June 30, 2021

This summer's heat has broken temperature records here in Minnesota and in other parts of the country. Meanwhile, both the economy and the overall market have also been posting some record-breaking temperatures as vaccination rates rise and the pandemic lifts.

As we look back on the market's performance in the first half of 2021, what's particularly striking is that, in general, stocks that were hot performers in 2020 have cooled off this year, and vice versa. In some cases, that's true of entire sectors. Energy, a laggard last year, has been one of the top-performing sectors this year. Small caps, which underperformed the S&P 500 in 2020, are outpacing the index in the first two quarters of 2021. Conversely, Technology has underperformed the S&P 500 year to date after posting huge gains in 2020, though some tech stocks are still outperforming.

The S&P 500 Total Return (TR) Index rose 8.55% in the second quarter of 2021, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average TR Index (DJIA) climbed 5.08%. Year to date, the S&P 500 TR Index is up 15.25% and the DJIA TR Index has gained 13.79%. In the fixed-income market, the Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index rose 2.42% in the second quarter, though it is down 1.96% year to date.

Future Outlook

Along with the hot market and hot economy, the hot topic this year has been inflation. The May CPI (consumer price index) was up at an annualized rate of 5%, the highest rate of inflation since 1993. It follows annualized CPI inflation numbers of 3.8% in April and 3.0% in March. The ongoing semiconductor shortage has driven up the price of cars, computers, even window air-conditioning units. Prices have also moved up sharply for travel-related services such as airfare, hotel rooms, and rental cars. That noted, the Federal Reserve believes that inflation is "transitory" and should abate later this year. And in the past month, the market also seems to have become less worried.

The broad economic indicators have been sizzling during the first half of 2021. In June, the Institute of Supply Management (ISM) manufacturing index hit 61.2, up from 60.7 in May. The June ISM services index was 64.0, compared to 62.7 the month before. Any number over 50 signifies growth – over 60 means business is barbecue-hot. A federal infrastructure plan would add even more fiscal fuel to the fire.

But other indicators show signs of cooling off. Each of the 12 Federal Reserve districts has its own regional economic index. The Philadelphia, Dallas, and New York Feds all posted strong numbers in June, but all were down from May. (Chicago's index was up slightly.) This suggests that the economy isn't quite as torrid as it was earlier this year.

Another sign of a cooling trend – consumer confidence decreased slightly in May, the first monthly decline this year. While May retail sales were up 28% compared to May 2020, that was down from year-over-year growth of 51% in April.

Despite the hot economy, job growth has been much slower than expected. And that's despite higher wages and a record number of job openings – 9.3 million as of June 8. Experts cite several reasons for people staying out of the labor force, including ongoing pandemic worries, difficulty in finding childcare, and people earning enough on unemployment to stay financially afloat. As these barriers recede, job growth should improve later this year.

Last year, when Covid-19 first hit, we expected (along with many others) that the pandemic would cost companies two years of earnings growth. In other words, earnings wouldn't regain 2019 levels until 2022 at the earliest. But the current consensus is that S&P 500 corporate earnings are currently within a percent of where they were before the pandemic, an astounding comeback. In the first quarter, earnings for the S&P 500 were 50% above the first quarter of 2020. As of mid-June, the consensus was that S&P 500 earnings would post growth of 61% in the second quarter compared to last year. Earnings growth also is expected to cool a bit this fall, with consensus predictions of 24% growth in the third quarter and 16% in the fourth quarter. For the full year 2021, we estimate that earnings will be 13% above the number reported for 2019.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  June 30, 2021

The Mairs & Power Growth Fund gained 8.84% in the second quarter. During the same period, the S&P 500 Total Return (TR) benchmark rose 8.55%, and the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index of peers posted a gain of 5.00%. Year to date, the Fund was up 16.73% while its benchmark has gained 15.25% and the peer index was up 14.23%.

The primary driver of the Fund's relative performance both quarterly and year to date was stock selection. The only meaningful sector weight that impacted relative performance was our lack of exposure to the Energy sector. As the global economy has snapped back, so has oil demand. We believe this is a short-term phenomenon, and we expect energy prices and sector performance to weaken over the long term.

The top contributors to Fund performance in the quarter and year to date have been Google parent Alphabet (GOOG), Bio-Techne (TECH), and Nvidia (NVDA).

Alphabet has performed strongly after somewhat lagging its big-tech brethren last year. It is now the Fund's second largest position, so its outperformance has had a significant impact on the portfolio. The company is monetizing its YouTube business with increased video advertisements, and it should benefit further as travel and leisure advertising spend rebound.

Bio-Techne continues to deliver accelerating organic revenue growth from the acquisitions and investments it has made over the last several years. The company is particularly enthusiastic about the potential for its exosome diagnostics business and its first commercial product, a urine test for prostate cancer. It is also seeking FDA approval for a transplant rejection test. In addition, Bio-Techne has invested internally in larger-scale bio-manufacturing, and it will likely see a significant revenue ramp up in that business over the next several years.

And Nvidia is booming as demand for its graphics cards accelerates, particularly from data centers and in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications. Some of the company's cards are also used in mining cryptocurrencies, a situation we're monitoring closely, since declines in crypto prices can cause the market to be flooded with used cards. Longer term, we continue to be excited by the growth potential in Nvidia's core gaming market, as well as the AI and ML opportunities.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited) (continued)

The Fund's most significant performance laggards year to date are Qualcomm (QCOM), Fiserv (FISV), and Ecolab (ECL).

Qualcomm has been hurt by the semiconductor shortage, since it makes the bulk of its revenue from chips used in consumer electronics and cell phones. We believe that supply problems will improve. Until then, the stock will probably struggle to outperform the broader market.

Fiserv's payment processing revenue should snap back as the country and the world reopen from the pandemic. We are seeing significant investment flowing into potential competitors in the so-called fintech space. This is why we like Fiserv's acquisition of fintech firm Clover, which should help it fend off new competition. The company should also benefit as its traditional banking customers continue to invest in additional digital capabilities.

As for Ecolab, it had always garnered a significant premium relative to the market due to its consistent organic growth. However, with a new CEO and an uncharacteristic misstep in entering and then exiting the energy space, Ecolab now is something of a show-me stock. Increased raw material costs could hurt margins despite a recovery in volumes, putting further pressure on the stock. We remain long-term believers in the company, and we expect that it will emerge in a stronger competitive position when its end markets rebound.

The rejuvenated performance of small and mid-caps this year has presented the Fund with some intriguing opportunities. In the second quarter, we added two such stocks, both Minnesota companies.

Inspire Medical Systems (INSP) is a med-tech company, founded by former Medtronic executives, that uses technology similar to that found in defibrillators and pacemakers to treat obstructive sleep apnea. Inspire's implantable device gives the muscles in the back of the tongue a small "shock" to keep it from blocking air flow. Inspire anticipates a $10 billion market for its device, which can replace bulky CPAP machines. What's more, it has obtained reimbursement from major insurers, including Medicare. Though a high-valuation company, Inspire has a potentially large market opportunity.

We also added recreational vehicle manufacturer Polaris (PII), whose current valuation looks very attractive. While its revenue and earnings have been constrained by supply chain difficulties, demand is strong and is likely to remain so. Longer-term, we see opportunities for the new management team to streamline the portfolio and to make use of new technologies that further differentiate its products.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  June 30, 2021

The Mairs & Power Balanced Fund finished the second quarter up 5.86%, while its benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index) gained 6.08%. The Morningstar US Fund Allocation peer group rose 5.12% for the quarter. Year to date, the Fund is up 11.08%, the benchmark is plus 8.13% and the peer group 9.52%.

The Fund continued to favor stocks, which make up over 65% of the portfolio. With stocks handily outperforming bonds this year, this balance has boosted our overall returns. The Fund's second-quarter underperformance was due to its underweight in Energy, Real Estate, and Technology along with an overweight in Industrials. Year to date, our overweight in Financials and our stock selection have played in our favor.

Financials, a key driver of the Fund's first-quarter performance, underperformed slightly in the second quarter although they largely held onto their gains. The run-up this year had been driven by increased interest rates, which helped propel stronger earnings expectations. This past quarter, the flattening of the interest rate curve has dimmed banks' profitability picture.

Healthcare, where the Fund is heavily overweight, has contributed positively to both quarterly and year-to-date returns due to stock selection. Eli Lilly (LLY) received a boost when Donanemab, its in-development drug targeting Alzheimer's disease, received "Breakthrough Therapy" designation from the FDA. Currently in a Phase 3 study, Donanemab is on the path for accelerated approval. Bio- Techne (TECH) experienced its fastest growth in 25 years thanks largely to hikes in the NIH budget and strong demand across several of the company's platforms. While Eli Lilly and Bio-Techne have outperformed this year, Abbott (ABT) has underperformed. In 2020, it benefited from sales of its diagnostic equipment used to test for Covid. This year, demand for that equipment has shrunk. Still, the company's long-term outlook remains positive.

Performance shown is relative to the S&P 500 TR Index as of June 30, 2021. Relative return is the difference between the absolute return and the performance of the market, in which the position is held. Relative contribution is used for ranking, which considers average daily weightings for each holding. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Communications stocks have not dominated the market as much as they did in 2020, but Google parent Alphabet (GOOG), the Fund's single largest holding, is also its top performing stock this year. With its deep ties

in local search, Google's ad business seems poised for continued strong performance as the economy steadily reopens.

Meanwhile, our Technology stock selection hurt second-quarter performance. After a strong 2020, Qualcomm (QCOM) has underperformed this year as the semiconductor shortage combined with a metered 5G rollout weigh on the company. Neither element is a long-term concern. Conversely, Motorola Solutions (MSI) has seen strong demand for its products and services as municipal budgets loosen, helping to propel its stock to all-time highs and making it the Fund's top Technology performer so far in 2021.

While Retail as a whole has underperformed the index, our holdings have meaningfully outperformed. Target (TGT) has been firing on all cylinders as shoppers return to stores. And the Covid-driven increase in home improvement doesn't seem to be abating, which has helped propel Home Depot (HD).

Industrials underperformed during the quarter, and the Fund's overweight in the sector accounted for a significant portion of second-quarter underperformance. Stock selection has detracted from relative returns year to date, with Graco (GGG), Fastenal (FAST) and CH Robinson (CHRW) lagging the index after outperforming in 2020. In response, we have cycled out of some Industrials into Technology, where there are several attractive valuation options. In the second quarter, we added tech firm Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (ADP), which has a strong, durable competitive advantage in payroll processing and human resources management. As more and more people rejoin the workforce, ADP should enjoy significant volume growth.

On the fixed income side of the portfolio, absolute returns were helped by declining interest rates. The 10-year Treasury fell about 25 basis points to end the quarter right around 1.5%. Meanwhile, corporate bond spreads have remained stable. Due to our security selection and our preference for corporates, the Fund slightly outperformed the benchmark, Bloomberg US Government/Credit Bond Index, which was up over 2% during the quarter. Year to date, the generally higher rates have played in our favor. The continued tightening of spreads on some corporate bonds has also helped performance.

In June, FED governors signaled short-term rate increases are more likely by the end of next year. This helped the curve flatten significantly as short-term rates rose and long-term rates decreased. This movement generally does not help our portfolio since we hold more short bonds and fewer long bonds compared to the index. We continue to invest consistently and defensively for the long term, relying on credit underwriting and taking advantage of relative valuation between areas of fixed income.

The Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. Annual and semi-annual reports are preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus. The summary prospectus or full prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund and they may be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 304-7404 or by visiting www.mairsandpower.com. Read the summary prospectus or full prospectus carefully before investing.

All holdings in the portfolio are subject to change without notice and may or may not represent current or future portfolio composition. The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.

All investments have risks. The Balanced Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than U.S. corporations. The Fund is subject to yield and share price variances with

changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short-term. There is also a chance that some of the Fund's holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited)

To Our Shareholders:  June 30, 2021

In the second quarter, the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund gained 2.01%, the benchmark S&P Small Cap 600 Total Return (TR) Index was up 4.51%, and the Fund's peer group of small cap funds as measured by the Morningstar U.S. Fund Small Blend category rose 4.34%. Year to date, the Fund is up 19.15%, its benchmark has risen 23.56% and peer group is up 20.12%.

The sectors that provided the largest contributions to the Fund's second-quarter performance were Financials and Industrials. In the Financial sector, we've seen the market grow to appreciate the strength of banks' balance sheets and the prospect for higher interest rates. Notable among the Fund's Industrial holdings is precision ag equipment manufacturer Raven Industries (RAVN), which in June agreed to be acquired by CNH Industrial (CNHI) for $2.1 billion. This provided a nice premium that contributed to sector performance. Another high-powered Industrial performer this year is Oshkosh Corp. (OSK), a vehicle manufacturer benefiting from strong demand across construction end markets and military vehicle traction, as well as a U.S. Postal Service contract to build up to 165,000 "next generation" mail trucks.

Another stock that has delivered strong performance this year include Workiva (WK), which has been building out beyond its core cloud-based financial reporting business into environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting. Yet another is CyberOptics (CYBE), which develops and manufactures high-precision 3D sensing technology. The tailwinds affecting the semiconductor industry have provided a big boost for this Minnesota company, which has also gained traction recently from its new Micro-LED inspection equipment.

Still, the Fund significantly lagged its benchmark in the second quarter. The biggest detractors to both quarterly and year-to-date performance have been our lack of exposure in the Energy and Consumer Discretionary sectors, which were up 83% and 44% respectively in the first half of the year. The rise in oil prices back to 2018 levels has refueled the Energy sector, and consumers are boosting retail and restaurant companies. But we have doubts about the competitive durability of companies in these sectors.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited) (continued)

In terms of individual companies, one of the biggest detractors to Fund performance has been CMC Materials (CCMP). Its core businesses – chemicals and other products used in semiconductor manufacturing – have been performing well. But another CMC business, which provides chemicals used in oil pipelines, has been facing headwinds. Another detractor was Sleep Number (SNBR), the Fund's top-performing stock in the first quarter – and its worst performer in the second. The company has been hurt by supply chain problems, notably for the specialty foam used in its mattresses.

During the second quarter, the Fund added three companies to its portfolio. One is Cambium Networks (CMBM), an Illinois-based provider of wireless broadband networking infrastructure (antennas, receivers, routers, switches) used by Internet service providers. It's benefiting from trends including the 5G network upgrade, working and learning from home, and renewed broadband spending in rural areas, a market where Cambium is primarily focused.

Another newcomer is Polaris (PII). Though we've followed this Minnesota-based small-vehicle manufacturer for years, a recent change in leadership has made us more excited about its prospects. Its core business is tied to off-road powersports, a very popular category during the pandemic. Polaris has invested heavily in R&D to maintain its leadership position, and it has supplemented this with acquisitions in EV and autonomous-vehicle technologies that have added to its total available market.

In April, the Fund was allocated stock from SkyWater Technology (SKYT), one of the many Minnesota companies that have gone public in the past 18 months. SkyWater provides advanced semiconductor services and manufacturing for markets such as aerospace, defense, and advanced computing. It's U.S.-based, which is a requirement for Department of Defense business, and its model includes co-developing products with its customers, which is crucial for maintaining long-term relationships.

The Fund has also added modestly to some of its existing holdings in Technology, a sector that has lagged this year's market recovery. In addition, we exited a couple of positions in the second quarter:

Core Labs (CLB), a service provider to the petroleum industry. Elevated oil prices offered us the opportunity to sell our last Energy stock. The sector's long-term dynamics are tough, and the downturn in oil prices last year demonstrated the difficulty of finding Energy companies with true staying power.

United Fire Group (UFCS), an Iowa-based property and casualty insurer. The competitive dynamics across its commercial auto book have continued to pressure profitability, and we don't believe that its profitability will improve to an acceptable level of return on equity.

The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.

All investments have risks. The Small Cap Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than U.S. corporations. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings by small cap companies, which can involve greater risk than investments in companies that are already publicly traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)   June 30, 2021

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust) is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund) and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (individually a Fund and collectively the Funds) are series within the Trust. Mairs & Power, Inc. (the Adviser) is the investment adviser of each Fund. The objective of the Growth Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which have the potential for above-average, long-term appreciation. The objective of the Balanced Fund is to provide capital growth, current income and preservation of capital. The objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average, long-term appreciation. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."

Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:

Security Valuations

Security valuations for each Fund's investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). Investments in listed equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are principally traded or at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price if readily available for such securities on each business day. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Shares of underlying mutual funds are valued at their respective Net Asset Value (NAV). Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service and in certain circumstances may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Pricing service prices for debt obligations are based on various evaluative and matrix-based methodologies and models that use market inputs such as market transactions, dealer quotations, benchmark yields and issuer, industry and economic events. These techniques generally consider overall market conditions and such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and ratings.

Debt securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from two or more dealers that make markets in the securities. When market quotations are not readily available, or when the last quoted sale price is not considered representative of the value of the security if it were to be sold on that day, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Committee appointed by the Board, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.

When determining the value of a security, the Fair Value Committee takes into consideration all indications of value that appear relevant under the particular circumstances, as well as fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the security, and the forces influencing the market in which the security is purchased or sold in addition to other more specific factors that may be applied on a case-by-case basis. Consequently, the value of the security used by a Fund may differ from a quoted or published price for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for the security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. As of June 30, 2021, no securities were valued using this method.


37


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  June 30, 2021

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Fair Valuation Measurements

The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards, which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

•  Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

•  Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).

•  Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the securities held by each Fund as of June 30, 2021:

*  All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks and preferred stocks) and short-term investments.

**  All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities.

For detail of securities by major sector classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Security Transactions and Investment Income

Security transactions are recorded on the date on which securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a "regulated investment company" as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). No provisions have been made for federal income taxes as it is the intention of each Fund to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of income and realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all excise and income taxes.

As of June 30, 2021, the Trust 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 tax returns filed for the last three years.

As of December 31, 2020, none of the Funds had capital loss carryforwards nor did they have any qualified later year losses for federal tax purposes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  June 30, 2021

Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Expense Allocation

Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on their relative net assets. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the Fund that incurred the expense.

New Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act providing a framework for fund valuation practices ("Rule 2a-5"). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds' financial statements.

Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions

Investment Management Fees

The Adviser provides investment management services and various administrative services to the Funds under a written agreement for Investment Counsel Service (the Investment Advisory Agreement) approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:

(1)  Effective June 1, 2021, the investment management fee was reduced from 0.90% to 0.80%.

Trustees' Fees

The Funds pay compensation to the disinterested Trustees of the Trust. The Funds do not pay remuneration to officers or to Trustees who are officers, directors or employees of the Adviser or Trustees who are otherwise "interested persons" of the Trust.

Note 3 – Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust's maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions

Net investment income and net realized capital gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) (continued)  June 30, 2021

Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions (continued)

Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP, and due to the timing of the distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.

The tax character of distributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, were as follows:

Ordinary income distributions include net short-term capital gains. The Funds are designating as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Code, the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero. To the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gain, the Funds also designate earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.

Note 6 – Impacts of COVID-19

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted financial markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The performance of the Funds' investments depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak. Events related to COVID-19 may result in further global economic disruption and market volatility which in turn may impact the value of each of the Fund's investments.

Note 7 – 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. On July 7, 2021, Foreside Financial Group, LLC ("Foreside"), the Funds' distributor, announced that it had entered into a definitive purchase and sale agreement with Genstar Capital ("Genstar") such that Genstar would acquire a majority stake in Foreside. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. Foreside will remain the Fund's distributor at the close of the transaction, subject to Board approval.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Funds are "no-load" mutual funds. As a result, shareholders pay no commissions, fees, or expenses associated with sales representatives or sales charges.

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 table below reports the Funds' expenses during the period January 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021 and includes the costs associated with a $1,000 investment.

Actual Expenses

The first line in the tables below provides information about the actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this information in this line, together with the amount you invested to estimate the expenses you paid over the reporting period. You can do this by dividing your account value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the expense shown in the table below. For example, if your account value is $8,600, divided by $1,000 = $8.60. Multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period." By doing this you can estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example

The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expenses and assumed returns of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The results may be used to provide you with a basis for comparing the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that these hypothetical examples highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional fees, such as redemption fees. In addition, if these transactional fees were included, your costs would have been higher. These hypothetical expense examples may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2021 BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (the Board) of Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Independent Trustees), unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement for Investment Counsel Service (the Investment Advisory Agreement), as amended and restated, between the Trust on behalf of the Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), the Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund) and the Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (each, a Fund and together, the Funds) and Mairs & Power, Inc. (the Adviser) at a meeting of the Board held on May 27, 2021.

In evaluating the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees took into account their cumulative experience with the Adviser and their ongoing review of the Funds and discussions with the Funds' portfolio managers and other personnel of the Adviser at meetings throughout the year. The Trustees also considered information provided to the Board throughout the year regarding the Adviser's investment process, personnel, performance, Fund expenses, brokerage and trading, compliance issues and strategic initiatives. The Trustees' approval was based on their consideration of a variety of factors, which included, among other things: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, including the investment process used by the Adviser; (2) the performance of each Fund in comparison to its benchmark index, a peer group and a comparison universe of similar mutual funds; (3) the management fees and total net expenses of the Funds (as proposed to be amended, in the case of the Small Cap Fund), including comparative information with respect to a peer group and a comparison universe of similar mutual funds; (4) a comparison of the Adviser's services and the amounts paid by the Funds with those under the Adviser's agreements with other clients; (5) the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Funds; (6) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors; and (7) any benefits accruing to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds.

In preparation for the meeting, the Adviser provided the Trustees with various materials that were relevant to the Trustees' consideration of the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the Adviser's narrative responses to the Section 15(c) request submitted on behalf of the Trustees providing information about the factors set forth above. The Board also received a Section 15(c) report prepared by Broadridge Financial Solutions (Broadridge), an independent provider of investment company data. The report included data comparing the Funds' investment performance over different time periods to each Fund's benchmark index, peer group and a

comparison universe of similar mutual funds as well as data comparing the contractual and net management fees and total net expenses of each Fund to its Morningstar category and comparative groups selected by Broadridge. The Board received information regarding management's proposal to reduce the management fee for the Small Cap Fund to 0.80%. The Board also considered information regarding the operation of the business continuity plan and information security program of the Adviser and the Funds during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At the May 27, 2021 meeting, the Board discussed the Adviser's 15(c) response and related matters with management. The Trustees also considered their responsibilities and duties in considering the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees met separately to discuss the proposed renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement in executive session with legal counsel present, but with no representatives of the Adviser present. In reaching their decision to renew the Investment Advisory Agreement with the Adviser, the Trustees considered all factors they believed to be relevant, including the factors below, and made the following conclusions. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any single factor as determinative.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the Adviser's services provided to the Funds, the Trustees noted each Fund's performance record, as discussed in more detail below under "Investment Performance." The Trustees considered the Adviser's experience as an investment adviser since 1931, and the quality and consistency of its investment process, which seeks to identify companies with sustainable long-term growth. The Trustees also considered the depth and expertise of the Adviser's investment management, operations and compliance personnel and investments made by the Adviser in resources that benefit the Funds. The Trustees also took into account the services the Adviser provides to the Funds with respect to the Funds' distribution strategy, risk management, liquidity risk management, business continuity and compliance. The Trustees considered administrative services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement, such as the provision of office space and Fund officers, information technology, recordkeeping, operational support, compliance services, financial reporting services, service provider oversight and general fund management. The Trustees considered information regarding purchases and redemptions of the Funds' shares as well as the Adviser's brokerage and soft dollars policies. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser under the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Investment Performance

In reviewing each Fund's performance, the Trustees considered the information provided in connection with the May 27, 2021 Board meeting, noting that they also receive detailed performance information at each regular Board meeting during the year as well as an in-depth review of prior year performance and risk metrics for the Funds at the first quarter meeting. At the May 27, 2021 meeting, the Trustees considered the investment results for each Fund compared to 1) a peer group of similar funds selected by Broadridge (the Performance Group); 2) a performance universe of similar funds selected by Broadridge (the Performance Universe); and 3) each Fund's respective benchmark index for the applicable periods ended December 31, 2020. The Board considered management's discussion of the factors contributing to differences in performance as compared to each Fund's benchmark index.

The Trustees noted that the Growth Fund had experienced strong absolute performance in 2020 and good annualized long-term performance. While the Fund had underperformed the Fund's benchmark (the S&P 500 Total Return Index) over most periods, its performance was in line with or better than the Performance Group and the Performance Universe averages over all time periods. In addition, the Growth Fund had outperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index for the since-inception (1958) period. The Board noted that the Adviser's investment strategy and portfolio risk management techniques can cause the Fund's performance to vary from the S&P 500 Total Return Index, particularly over the short to intermediate term, but those techniques are expected to benefit shareholders over the long term.

2021 BOARD APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (unaudited) (continued)

The Trustees noted that the Balanced Fund had experienced good absolute performance in 2020 and good annualized long-term performance. While the Balanced Fund's performance trailed its benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index) for 2020 as well as for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, the Fund has outperformed the index for the since-inception (1961) period. The Trustees considered that the Adviser has implemented various investment techniques for this Fund that can cause the Fund's performance to vary from the benchmark. The Trustees also considered the Balanced Fund's relative performance against the Performance Group and Performance Universe over various time periods.

The Trustees noted that the Small Cap Fund had experienced good absolute performance for the one-year period and good annualized long-term performance. The Trustees noted that the Fund has underperformed its benchmark index over the one-, three- and five-year periods and has outperformed the index for the since-inception period. The Trustees also considered the Small Cap Fund's relative performance as compared to the Performance Group and Performance Universe. The Board considered the Adviser's commentary regarding stock selection being the primary driver of relative performance.

The Trustees observed that while the Funds have had periods of underperformance, the Funds have had good absolute performance over longer time periods. The Trustees reaffirmed their belief that the Adviser's philosophy of investing in quality, predominantly Upper Midwest, companies with favorable long-term growth potential should produce positive results for shareholders in the long-term. The Trustees concluded, in the context of their full deliberations, that the Funds' performance results were sufficient to support the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement.

Management Fees and Expenses

In evaluating the level of the management fees paid to the Adviser, the Trustees considered both the amount of the fees and the overall expenses of each Fund compared to (1) the Morningstar category and (2) the smaller peer group of similar funds selected by Broadridge (the Expense Group). With respect to the Small Cap Fund, the Trustees considered the effects of the proposed reduction in the Fund's management fee on the fee and expense comparison. The Trustees also considered their discussions with management regarding the appropriateness of each Fund's fees and expenses.

The Trustees noted that the net management fee paid to the Adviser by the Growth Fund was above Morningstar's Large Blend category median but below the Expense Group median. The Trustees noted that the net management fee for the Balanced Fund was above the median fee for its Morningstar category (50% to 70% Equity) but below the Expense Group median. The Trustees also noted that the Growth Fund's and Balanced Fund's total net expense ratios were below the median total net expense ratios of funds in their respective Morningstar category and Expense Group. With respect to the Small Cap Fund, the Trustees noted that the net management fee (as proposed to be reduced to 0.80%) was above Morningstar's Small Blend category median but in line with the Expense Group median. In addition, the Fund's total net expense ratio was below the Expense Group median and the Morningstar category median (both before and following the reduction in the management fee).

The Trustees then reviewed the fees the Adviser charges its non-mutual fund advisory clients (Advisory Clients) and the reasons noted by the Adviser for the differences in fees charged to Advisory Clients. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the investment advisory fee charged to an institutional client of the Adviser for sub-advisory services in the small-cap mandate. The Trustees noted that the Adviser provides certain resources and services to the Funds that are not provided to other institutional accounts, and the level of risk assumed by the Adviser for the Funds is greater than for the other institutional accounts. In addition, the level of investment decision-making is generally higher with respect to the Funds because cash flows result in purchase and sale decisions made by the Adviser almost every trading day. The Trustees also considered the management fee charged by the Adviser to an exchange-traded fund but did not consider that a material factor given the differences in strategy and structure. Having considered all of these factors, the Trustees concluded that each Fund's management fee is fair and reasonable for the services provided.

Costs of Services Provided and Profitability to the Adviser

The Trustees reviewed information regarding the Adviser's profitability from its relationship with each Fund over the past two calendar years. The Trustees reaffirmed their belief that the Adviser should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profit for the services it provides to the Funds. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser's level of profitability from its relationship with each Fund is reasonable. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser's financial condition and determined it to be sound.

Other Benefits

The Trustees considered the benefits to the Adviser from soft dollar arrangements whereby the Adviser receives investment research and related services from an executing broker-dealer and through commission sharing arrangements with agency broker-dealers that execute the Funds' purchases and sales of securities. The Trustees considered that the research services received from broker-dealers are used to service all accounts that invest in equity securities and that the Adviser's Advisory Clients benefit from the research obtained from broker-dealers. While difficult to measure, the Trustees concluded that the benefits the Adviser receives are fairly modest, given the Funds' relatively low portfolio turnover rates and the Adviser's out of pocket payments for other research services. The Trustees noted that the Adviser derives reputational benefits from its association with the Funds as well. The Trustees concluded that the other benefits realized by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds were reasonable.

Economies of Scale

The Trustees reviewed the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Funds increase in size. In order to provide an "economies of scale" benefit to shareholders of the Growth Fund, the Adviser previously had established a breakpoint at the $2.5 billion asset level under the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Growth Fund. The breakpoint reduces the management fee applicable to assets managed in excess of $2.5 billion from 0.60% to 0.50%. The Trustees reaffirmed their conclusion that establishing this breakpoint at $2.5 billion forms a reasonable basis for having management fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of Growth Fund shareholders at the Fund's current asset levels. Considering the current level of assets in each of the Balanced Fund and the Small Cap Fund, the Trustees concurred with management's view that the absence of breakpoints in the management fee for the Balanced Fund and Small Cap Fund is reasonable at this time. The Trustees also noted that the Adviser has shared economies of scale with shareholders through its investments in resources and services that benefit the Funds.

On the basis of its review of the foregoing information, the Board found that the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable and in the best interests of each Fund's shareholders.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT (unaudited)

The Funds have adopted and implemented a written Liquidity Risk Management Program ("Trust LRM Program") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Trust LRM Program is overseen by the Program Administrator, comprised of qualified individuals of the Funds' Adviser. The Funds' Board has approved the designation of the Program Administrator to oversee and administer the Trust LRM Program. The Trust LRM Program's principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund's liquidity risk and providing an annual written report to the Board on the adequacy and operating effectiveness of the Trust LRM Program to mitigate the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations on a timely basis without significant dilution of the remaining Fund investors' interests in such Fund.

The Trust LRM Program takes into consideration the Fund's investment strategy, liquidity classifications of portfolio investments, short-term and long-term cash flow projections, and holdings of cash and cash equivalents during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions as part of the management and assessment of liquidity risk.

On February 25, 2021, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator's annual written report. During the period covered by the report, there were no liquidity events that impacted the Funds or their respective ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The Program Administrator concluded and reported to the Board that the Trust LRM Program has operated adequately and effectively to manage the Funds' liquidity risk since implementation and no changes to the Trust LRM Program were recommended at such time. There can be no assurance that the Trust LRM Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to your Fund's prospectus for more information regarding the Fund's exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
