TORRAYRESOLUTE SMALL/MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Management Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited)

Portfolio Commentary
 
The Fund employs a concentrated approach, investing in 25 to 30 stocks, with a long-term orientation, quality focus and valuation discipline.  Our investment philosophy is based on the view that selective investments in diverse growth businesses with superior operating and financial characteristics generate excess returns with below-market risk.  We believe risk is systematically mispriced in the market, and that a focus on low volatility in underlying business fundamentals improves the probability of generating attractive returns over time.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2019, the TorrayResolute Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s Institutional Class gained 30.19% compared to 32.65% for the Russell 2500 Growth Index and 27.77% for the Russell 2500 Index.  The sector allocation effect was modestly positive and security selection was negative.  On an absolute basis, Real Estate was the Fund’s best performing sector, Consumer Staples its worst.  At the security level, top contributors were Copart (CPRT), ANSYS (ANSS) and Aspen Technologies (AZPN). The largest detractors were Healthcare Services Group (HCSG), Dycom Industries (DY) and Verra Mobility (VRRM).
 
At the close of the year, the Fund held 28 positions, the top 10 constituting 42.4% of the portfolio with a cash position of 3.4%.  The average cash position over the period was 3.3%.  Information Technology and Health Care were the two largest sector weights at 32.1% and 27.6%, respectively.  Compared to the benchmark, the largest sector overweights were Information Technology and Financials, the largest sector underweights were Consumer Discretionary and Industrials.
 
Market Overview
 
During the final quarter of 2019, equity markets applauded improving fundamentals and closed out the year and decade on a decisively high note.  In stark contrast to a year earlier, global growth metrics broadly stabilized and improved, the Federal Reserve and other central banks around the world were uniformly accommodative and incremental progress was made on the trade dispute between the U.S. and China.  It was a period where market bulls declared victory and skeptics capitulated.
 
 

 
Here, we remind ourselves that
successful investing is not about
timing markets, but what is done
with volatility when it arrives.

 
Outlook
 
While we don’t make market predictions, we do gain useful perspective from our fundamental work.  Progress on the U.S.–China trade front, the resolution of Brexit, strong domestic employment, a healthy consumer, reaccelerating earnings growth, low interest rates and accommodative central banks all point to a constructive environment for equity investors.  At the same time, we recognize much of this good news is reflected in current prices, leaving little margin for error, and it’s certainly reasonable to expect the current political cycle and continuing trade negotiations to be sources of market volatility.  Here, we remind ourselves that successful investing is not about timing markets, but what is done with volatility when it arrives. As we have in the past, we remain disciplined and opportunistic, looking to manage risk by differentiating short-term uncertainties from long-term opportunities.
 
As ever, we appreciate your interest and trust.

Activity Summary
 
Buys (5)
Rocket Pharmaceuticals (RCKT) is a clinical-stage gene therapy company developing treatments for several rare diseases with high unmet medical needs.  We are enthusiastic about the efficacy and market opportunities that gene therapies have demonstrated, particularly over the past few years.  The FDA and strategic buyers such as large pharmaceutical companies have also taken note and are increasingly active in this field.  With four ongoing clinical programs, Rocket’s basket approach to gene therapy is appealing from a risk management perspective.  Recent data presented on two of Rocket’s programs led us to initiate a position in the company.
 
Teladoc Health (TDOC) operates the largest telehealth platform based on participants and revenues.  Its state-licensed, board-certified clinicians diagnose a broad array of medical conditions telephonically.  Teladoc has built a member population exceeding 27 million by delivering a convenient, cost-effective service, offering consumers and payors an alternative to higher cost, in-person options.  At ten times the size of its closest competitor, we appreciate its first mover advantage, subscription-based business model and high recurring revenues.  While the company is not yet profitable, we believe it is near an inflection point where increasing utilization should achieve the operating leverage required to generate profits in a reasonable timeframe.
 
Verra Mobility (VRRM) provides transportation solutions to state and local governments and commercial organization throughout the U.S., Canada and Europe.  With a market capitalization of $2.3 billion and annualized revenues of approximately $450 million, Verra operates in two segments – Government Solutions, which delivers automated traffic enforcement services (red light and speed cameras), and the Commercial Services segment, which delivers tolling and violation management services to rental car companies and commercial vehicle fleets.  Primary investment attributes include high barriers to entry, high recurring revenues, low capital intensity, and what we consider to be generous cash flow characteristics and a reasonable valuation.

Management Discussion and Analysis (Unaudited) – Continued

Catalent (CTLT) is a $5 billion Contract Manufacturing Organization (CMO) specializing in the production of drugs on behalf of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical clients.  The company benefits from the growing demand for complex biological medicines, while avoiding most of the binary outcomes that plague drug developers.  With $2.5 billion in sales and an extensive manufacturing footprint across five continents, Catalent enjoys a broadly diversified client base.  Following share price weakness resulting from a temporary supply shortage, we initiated a position at what we considered to be an attractive price.
 
CyberArk Software (CYBR) is a $4.5 billion Israel-based cybersecurity company specializing in Privileged Account Management (PAM) security, an area that focuses on protecting a network’s most important users.  Beginning in 1999, CYBR and its CEO founder were pioneers of the PAM market and remain an important source of industry innovation.  Having acquired more than 50% of the Fortune 100 as customers, revenue and profits have increased at an impressive rate of over 30% annually.  New pricing models and positive business mix should improve the stability of the company’s profits over time.  While valuations in the industry are at a premium, we believe strong secular demand can support current levels.
 
Sales (4)
Genmab (GMAB) was sold following a significant increase in its share price which reflected the positive clinical progress and financial results of the company’s treatment for multiple myeloma.  While we remain confident about Genmab’s prospects, valuation and market capitalization reached the high end of what we believe is appropriate for the company and strategy.
 
Dycom Industries (DY) is a specialty contractor that provides engineering and construction services to telecommunications providers.  The company seeks to capture long-term contracts with major carriers investing in faster and more reliable internet and wireless services known as the 5G expansion.  While opportunities associated with the 5G buildout are large, timing and execution has been challenging.  The negative operating leverage associated with the engineering and construction industry led us to reevaluate the company’s position in the portfolio, which typically seeks to invest in companies with stable earnings growth.
 
Healthcare Services Group (HCSG) provides housekeeping and dining services to over 3,500 health care facilities, predominately nursing homes.  Our investment thesis was based on positive demographics and a record of growth and profitability.  While we were aware of the reimbursement challenges health care operators face, we believed Healthcare Services Group’s dominant market position and high recurring revenues would translate to consistent, stable growth in sales and earnings.  However, industry headwinds have persisted, impacting HCSG and other service providers.
 
LKQ Corporation (LKQ), a leading supplier of replacement and aftermarket auto parts, was sold based on operational challenges overseas and diminishing economic returns associated with domestic consolidation opportunities.

Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund’s investment in securities of mid-cap and small-cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger, more established companies. The Fund may have a relatively high percentage of assets in a single or small number of issuers, which may result in increased volatility. Foreign companies involve risks not generally associated with investment in the securities of U.S. companies, including risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices, including fluctuations in foreign currencies. The Fund has limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

The chart assumes an initial investment of $100,000 at the inception of the Fund(1) and is provided for informational purposes only. Performance reflects waivers of fee and operating expenses in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced by the applicable management fee, operating expenses and all other expenses incurred due to maintenance of the account. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Performance assumes the reinvestment of capital gains and income distributions. The performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
December 31, 2019

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is provided for informational purposes only and 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 period (July 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019).
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
 
For each class, the first line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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
 
For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Please note that this is not the Fund’s actual return, but is used for informational purposes only to showcase how to calculate the ongoing costs associated with the Fund. 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. 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. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs may have been higher.

TORRAYRESOLUTE SMALL/MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2019

1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust under a Declaration of Trust dated January 27, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The TorrayResolute Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund commenced operations on January 1, 2015. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, the Investor Class and the Institutional Class. Investor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% distribution fee and each class of shares is subject to a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.15%. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class. The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
Security Valuation — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
 
Federal Income Taxes — The Fund complies with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.  The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for the tax years prior to the period ended December 31, 2016.
 
Security Transactions and Investment Income — The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method.
 
The Fund distributes all net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemptions of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.  The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for
15

TORRAYRESOLUTE SMALL/MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
December 31, 2019

federal income tax purposes.  Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the fund increased total distributable earnings by $37,968 and decreased paid in capital by $37,968. The adjustments are primarily due to net operating losses.
 
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.
 
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. Distribution fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
 
3.  SECURITIES VALUATION
 
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value 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, a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 —
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
   
Level 2 —
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
   
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value.
 
Equity Securities — Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Securities traded primarily in the Nasdaq Global
16

TORRAYRESOLUTE SMALL/MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued
December 31, 2019

Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If the market for a particular security is not active, and the mean between bid and ask prices is used, these securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Short-Term Investments — Investments in money market funds are valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines their net asset values per share. The Board has established a Valuation Committee to administer, implement, and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions when necessary. The Board regularly reviews reports of the Valuation Committee that describe any fair value determinations and methods.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not 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 securities as of December 31, 2019:

4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Trust has an agreement with Torray LLC (“Adviser”) to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (“Agreement”) between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and pay the Fund expenses in order to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, leverage/borrowing interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts), interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.00% of average daily net assets of the Fund. Fees waived and expenses paid by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of thirty-six months following the month during which such fee waiver and expense payment was made, if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the fee waiver and expense payment occurred and the expense limit in place at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is in effect and cannot be terminated through April 30, 2026.  Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board or the Adviser, with the consent of the Board.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, acts as the Fund’s Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Fund Accountant. U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the Custodian to the Fund. The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Custodian; coordinates the payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. Fees incurred by the Fund for administration and accounting, transfer agency, custody and chief compliance officer services for the year ended December 31, 2019, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
 
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.
 
On November 25, 2019, U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), the Fund’s distributor, announced it had signed a purchase agreement to sell Quasar to Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”) such that Quasar will become a wholly-owned-broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside. The transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2020. Quasar will remain the Funds’ distributor at the close of the transaction subject to Board approval.
 
5.  DISTRIBUTION & SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
 
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) in the Investor Class only. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Investor Class. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent reimbursement for distribution and service activities. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Investor Class incurred expenses of $2,341 pursuant to the Plan.
 
The Fund has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Adviser, under which the Fund may pay servicing fees at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each class. Payments to the Adviser under the Agreement may reimburse the Adviser for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Adviser for services provided to shareholders of the Fund. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Fund and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Fund in servicing such shareholders.

$  —
$(1,159,668)
$2,253,037
$1,093,369
 

As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had $1,159,668 in short-term capital loss carryovers which will be permitted to be carried over for an unlimited period. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund utilized $46,998 of short-term capital loss carryovers.  A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31. For the taxable year ended December 31, 2019, the Fund does not plan to defer any qualified late year losses.
 
There were no distributions made by the Fund for the year ended December 31, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
9.  SECTOR RISK
 
As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had a significant portion of its assets invested in the health care and information technology sectors. The health care sector may be more greatly impacted by adverse regulatory, political, legal and other changes affecting the issuers of such securities.  The information technology sector may be more sensitive to short product cycles, competition and more aggressive pricing than the overall market.
 
10.  CONTROL 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. As of December 31, 2019, Charles Schwab & Company, for the benefit of its customers, owned 30.09%, and Robert E. Torray, an affiliated person of the Adviser, owned 57.41% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

TORRAYRESOLUTE SMALL/MID CAP GROWTH FUND

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of TorrayResolute Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund and
Board of Trustees of Managed Portfolio Series
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of TorrayResolute Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Managed Portfolio Series, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended  (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2015.

The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  Leonard M. Rush is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past fiscal year.  “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.  “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit.  “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including reviewing the Fund’s tax returns and distribution calculations.  There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019, and December 31, 2018, the Fund’s principal accountant was Cohen & Company, LTD. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the past fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, LTD. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement was as follows:

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the past year.  The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.

Code of Ethics for Principal Officers
April 6, 2011


This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder.  This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) Code of Ethics for access persons (the “Investment Company Code of Ethics”), adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).  The persons covered by this Code of Ethics may also be subject to the Investment Company Code of Ethics.

The Trust requires its Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, or other Trust officers performing similar functions (the “Principal Officers”), to maintain the highest ethical and legal standards while performing their duties and responsibilities to the Trust and each of its series (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”), with particular emphasis on those duties that relate to the preparation and reporting of the financial information of the Funds.  The principles and responsibilities set forth below shall govern the professional conduct of the Principal Officers.

1.
HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

The Principal Officers shall act with honesty and integrity, avoiding actual or apparent conflicts of interest in personal and professional relationships, and shall report any material transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict between their interests and those of a Fund to the Audit Committee, the full Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), and, in addition, to any other appropriate person or entity that may reasonably be expected address any conflict of interest in timely and expeditious manner.
 
No Principal Officer shall:
 
 
use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by a Fund whereby the Principal Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;
cause a Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Principal Officer rather than the benefit of the Fund; or
retaliate against any other Principal Officer or any employee of the Trust or its service providers for reports of potential violations by the Trust, its service providers or the Principal Officer that are made in good faith.
The Principal Officers shall act in good faith, responsibly, with due care, competence and diligence, without knowingly misrepresenting material facts about the Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including the Trust’s Board and auditors, and governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations  or allowing their independent judgment to be subordinated or compromised.

2.
FINANCIAL RECORDS AND REPORTING

The Principal Officers should familiarize themselves with the public disclosure requirements applicable to the Trust.

The Principal Officers shall, to the extent appropriate within their areas of responsibility, promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and/or other documents to be filed with or submitted to the SEC or other applicable body by a Fund, or that is otherwise publicly disclosed or communicated.



Managed Portfolio Series
Code of Ethics for Principal Officers
1


The Principal Officers shall respect the confidentiality of information acquired in the course of their work and shall not disclose such information except when authorized or legally obligated to disclose.  The Principal Officers will not use confidential information acquired in the course of their duties as Principal Officers for the benefit of any party other than the Trust and the Funds.

The Principal Officers shall share knowledge and maintain skills important and relevant to the Trust’s needs; shall proactively promote the ethical behavior of the Trust’s employees.

3.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS

The Principal Officers shall promote compliance with applicable rules and regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and other appropriate private and public regulatory agencies and shall work with the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer and the Board  to promptly address detected deviations from applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations or rules.

4.
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS CODE OF ETHICS

The Principal Officers shall promptly report any violations of this Code of Ethics to the Audit Committee as well as the full Board of Trustees of the Trust and shall be held accountable for strict adherence to this Code of Ethics.  A proven failure to uphold the standards stated herein shall be grounds for such sanctions as shall be reasonably imposed by the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

5.
AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

This Code of Ethics may only be amended or modified by approval of the Board of Trustees.  Any substantive amendment that is not technical or administrative in nature or any material waiver, implicit or otherwise, of any provision of this Code of Ethics, shall be communicated publicly in accordance with Item 2 of Form N-CSR under the Investment Company Act.

6.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Principal Officers shall, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 1, acknowledge that they have received, read and understand this Code of Ethics upon adoption of this Code of Ethics or when initially hired or appointed, whichever occurs later.  The Principal Officers shall annually, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, acknowledge receipt of and compliance with this Code of Ethics.
