Brochure Summary

Overview

Description and Principal Owners PT Asset Management, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“PTAM”), is an asset management firm specializing in credit and fixed-income markets. PTAM’s principal place of business is in Chicago, Illinois. PTAM seeks attractive investment opportunities in fixed-income markets where structural and pricing inefficiencies can create unique drivers of return, specifically including, but not limited to, asset- backed/structured credit markets and municipal/corporate bond markets. PTAM believes its expertise lies in the ability to navigate complex investment strategies and the relationships across asset classes. PTAM is majority-owned and controlled by PTAM Holdings, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“PTAM Holdings”), and minority-owned by certain senior employees of PTAM. PTAM Holdings is owned principally by entities related to Mr. Richard S. Berg and Mr. Philip M. Nussbaum. Investment Management and Portfolio Advisory Services PTAM provides discretionary investment management and advisory services to mutual funds, an exchange traded fund, and separately managed accounts (collectively, “Clients”). As of December 31, 2023, PTAM had approximately $6,957 million in regulatory assets under management. Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Fund PTAM serves as investment adviser on a discretionary basis to three fixed-income, open-end mutual funds and one exchange traded fund (the “Funds”): Performance Trust Total Return Bond Fund (PTIAX/PTAOX/PTCOX), Performance Trust Municipal Bond Fund (PTIMX/ PTRMX), Performance Trust Multisector Bond Fund

(PTCRX), and Performance Trust Short Term Bond ETF (STBF) – each an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Funds are subject to limitations and restrictions as are set forth in the prospectus for each Fund. Additional information on PTAM’s Funds is available at www.ptam.com . Separately Managed Accounts For separately managed accounts (“SMAs”), PTAM supervises and directs the investments of and for each SMA Client’s account on a discretionary basis subject, however, to such limitations and restrictions as a Client may impose in the investment advisory agreement which establishes and governs PTAM’s investment advisory services in respect of the Client’s SMA, or which the SMA Client may thereafter impose by notice in writing to PTAM. This discretionary authority in connection with the SMA allows PTAM to (a) to buy, sell, exchange, convert and otherwise trade in any and all stocks, bonds and other securities as PTAM may select; and (b) to establish and deal through accounts with one or more securities brokerage firms as PTAM may select, except that the Client may designate the use of a broker or dealer as custodian of Client’s account through which PTAM shall enter orders for the account under the terms and conditions set forth in the investment advisory agreement. In addition, PTAM may invest in certain public companies or other securities for which PTAM’s directors and/or officers may be deemed as affiliates or have common ownership.
