Organization
 
Trust for Professional Managers (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated May 29, 2001.
 
The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment
 
company.  The Collins Alternative Solutions Fund (the “Fund”) represents a distinct series with its own investment objectives and policies within
 
the Trust.  The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation through absolute returns while maintaining a low correlation
 
over time with major equity and bond markets.  The Trust may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.001 par value.
 
The assets of the Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.  The Fund became
 
effective on April 30, 2012 and commenced operations on April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2013 for the Institutional Class and Class A shares,
 
respectively.  Class A shares are subject to an initial maximum sales charge of 5.00% imposed at the time of purchase and 0.50% may be
 
charged on purchases greater than $1,000,000 redeemed within twelve months of purchase.  Each class of shares has identical rights and
 
priveleges  except with respect to distribution fees, sales charges, and voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares.  Costs
 
incurred by the Fund in connection with the organization, registration and the initial public offering of shares were paid by Collins Capital
 
Investments, LLC (the "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser.
   
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of these schedules of
 
investments.  These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
   
Investment Valuation
 
Each security owned by the Fund that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which
 
assets are valued.  When a security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that the Fund generally
 
consider to be the principal exchange on which the stock is traded.
   
 
Fund securities including common stocks, convertible preferred stocks, exchange traded funds and rights, listed on the NASDAQ Stock
 
Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ") will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), which may not necessarily represent the last sale
 
price.  If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation.  If there has been no sale on
 
such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices on such day and will generally
 
be classified as Level 2.  When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined
 
under procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.  These fair value procedures will also be used to price a security when corporate
 
events, events in the securities market and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not reflect its
 
actual fair value.  The intended effect of using fair value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Fund is accurately priced.
   
 
Debt securities other than short-term instruments are valued at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices provided by a pricing service
 
(“Pricing Service”).  If the closing bid and ask prices are not readily available, the Pricing Service may provide a price determined by a matrix
 
pricing method or other analytical pricing models.  The Fund's Pricing Services use multiple valuation techniques to determine fair value.  In
 
instances where sufficient market activity exists, the Pricing Services may utilize a market-based approach through which quotes from market
 
makers are used to determine fair value.  In instances where sufficient market activity may not exist or is limited, the Pricing Services also
 
utilize proprietary valuation models which may consider market characteristics such as benchmark yield curves, option-adjusted spreads, credit
 
spreads, estimated default rates, coupon rates, anticipated timing of principal repayments, underlying collateral, and other unique security
 
features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows, which are then discounted to calculate the fair value and generally will be classified as
 
Level 2.  Fixed income securities including corporate bonds, convertible bonds, municipal bonds and bank loans are normally valued on the basis
 
of quotes obtained from brokers and dealers or a Pricing Service.  Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are
 
categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  Fixed income securities purchased on a delayed-delivery basis are typically marked to
 
market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.  Short-term debt securities such as commercial paper, bankers acceptances and
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
U.S. Treasury Bills, having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.  If a short-term debt security has a maturity of greater
 
than 60 days, it is valued at market price.  Any discount or premium is accreted or amortized on a straight-line basis until maturity.
   
 
Exchange-traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”).  NBBO consists of the
 
highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S.
 
options marketplace.  Specifically, composite pricing looks at the last trades on the exchanges where the options are traded.  If there are no
 
trades for the option on a given business day, composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price
 
across the exchanges where the option is traded and will generally be classified as Level 2.  Futures contracts are valued at the last sale price
 
at the closing of trading on the relevant exchange or board of trade.  If there was no sale on the applicable exchange or board of trade on
 
such day, they are valued at the average of the quoted bid and ask prices as of the close of such exchange of board of trade.
   
 
Over-the-counter financial derivative instruments, such as foreign currency contracts, futures, or swaps agreements, derive their value from
 
underlying asset prices, indices, reference rates, and other inputs or a combination of these factors.  These contracts are normally valued on
 
the basis of broker dealer quotations or a Pricing Service at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange.  Depending on the
 
product and the terms of the transaction, the value of the derivative contracts can be estimated by a Pricing Service provider using a series of
 
techniques, including simulation pricing models.  The pricing models use inputs that are observed from actively quoted markets such as issuer
 
details, indices, spreads, interest rates, curves, dividends and exchange rates.  Derivatives that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as
 
described above are categorized as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
   
 
Forward currency contracts are presented at fair value measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates (“forward rates”) at
 
the dates of the entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, and such differences are included in the Schedule of
 
Investments.
   
 
Swap agreements are generally traded over the counter and are valued by a Pricing Service using observable inputs.  In the event the Adviser
 
determines the price of a swap in this manner does not represent market value, the fair value of the subject swap shall be determined in
 
accordance with the Trust’s fair value procedures.
   
 
Redeemable securities issued by open-end, registered investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at the net asset value
 
(“NAV”) of such companies for purchase and/or redemption orders placed on that day.
   
 
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic 820
 
(“ASC 820”), establishes an authoritative definition of fair value and sets out a hierarchy for measuring fair value.  ASC 820 requires an entity
 
to evaluate certain factors to determine whether there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for the security such
 
that recent transactions and quoted prices may not be determinative of fair value and further analysis and adjustment may be necessary to
 
estimate fair value.  ASC 820 also requires enhanced disclosure regarding the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value in those
 
instances as well as expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types.  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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
   
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments carried at fair value as of November 30, 2014:

(1) See the Schedule of Investments for industry classifications
(2) Other financial instruments are futures contracts, swap contracts and forward contracts not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, which are reflected
  at the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instrument.
(3) The Fund measures Level 3 security as of the beginning and end of each financial reporting period.  For the period ended November 30, 2014, the Fund
  did not have unobservable inputs (Level 3 securities) used in determining fair value. Therefore, a reconciliation of assets and liabilities in which significant
  inputs (Level 3 securities) were used in determining fair value is not applicable.
 
The Fund did not invest in any Level 3 securities during the period ended November 30, 2014. It is the Fund’s policy to record transfers between levels at
the end of the reporting period.
 
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
GAAP requires enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and
how derivative instruments affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position.
 
The Fund invested in derivative instruments such as purchased options, written options, forward currency contracts, swap contacts and futures contracts
during the period.
