PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND


Value of $25,000 Investment (Unaudited)


 
The chart assumes an initial investment of $25,000. Performance reflects waivers of fee and operating expenses in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance current to the most recent month-end may be lower or higher than the performance quoted and can be obtained by calling 1-877-914-7343. 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.

PRINCIPAL STREET FUNDS


Expense Example (Unaudited)
February 29, 2024

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, interest expense, and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 (September 1, 2023 – February 29, 2024).
 
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
 
For each class, the first line of each 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 each 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, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each table for each class 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.

PRINCIPAL STREET FUNDS


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
February 29, 2024
 
1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on 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 Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund (the “High Income Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Principal Street Short Term Municipal Fund (the “Short Term Fund”) is a non-diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. Each series is considered a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”. Prior to October 15, 2019, the High Income Fund was known as the Green Square High Income Municipal Fund. The investment objective of both Funds is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. The High Income Fund currently offers three classes of shares for purchase. The High Income Fund’s Institutional Class commenced operations on September 15, 2017, the Investor Class commenced operations on March 23, 2020, and the A Class commenced operations on February 16, 2022. The Short Term Fund commenced operations on April 27, 2022 and currently offers two classes of shares, Institutional Class and Investor Class. Each class of shares for the Funds has identical rights and privileges except with respect to 12b-1 fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class. For the High Income Fund, the Investor Class and A Class shares are subject to a 0.50% and 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and servicing fee, respectively. For the Short Term Fund, the Investor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and servicing fee. The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended February 29, 2024, the Funds 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 Funds recognize 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 period ended February 29, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The High Income Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the year ended August 31, 2020. The Short Term fund is not subject to examination by U.S. Tax Authorities prior to the year ended August 31, 2022.
 
Security Transactions, Income, and Distributions – The Funds follow industry practice and record 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 Funds’ 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.

PRINCIPAL STREET FUNDS


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 29, 2024

The Funds will declare daily and pay monthly distributions of net investment income. The Funds will also distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. 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 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 Funds.
 
Allocation of Expenses — Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Funds 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 Funds. 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. For the High Income Fund, 12b-1 fees are expensed at annual rates of 0.50% and 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and A Class shares, respectively (See Note 5). For the Short Term Fund, 12b-1 fees are expensed at an annual rate 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class (See Note 5). 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.
 
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.
 
3.  SECURITIES VALUATION
 
The Funds have 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 Funds have 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value.

PRINCIPAL STREET FUNDS


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 29, 2024

Short-Term Investments – Investments in other mutual funds, including 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.
 
Fixed Income Securities – Municipal and corporate bonds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuer, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. Fixed income securities are categorized in the Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Funds and their Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating each Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have designated Principal Street Partners, LLC. (the “Adviser”) as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed the prices obtained from brokers, dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
 
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 Funds’ securities as of February 29, 2024:

Significant increases and decreases in the unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. An increase to the unobservable input would result in an increase to the fair value. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.

4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 0.55% and 0.45% of the High Income Fund and Short Term Fund average daily net assets, respectively.
 
The Funds’ Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees, and may reimburse the Funds for their operating expenses in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain expenses such as Rule 12b-1 fees, taxes, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, or extraordinary expenses) for the Funds do not exceed 0.80% and 0.70% of the High Income Fund and Short Term Fund average daily net assets, respectively. Prior to February 15, 2023, the rate was 0.73% for the High Income Fund.
 
Fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of thirty-six months following the month during which such waiver or reimbursement was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred and at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is indefinite in term but cannot be terminated within a year after the effective date of the Funds’ prospectuses. After that date, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Board or the Adviser. Total fee recoupment for the High Income Fund in the period ended February 29, 2024, was $15,297. The Short Term Fund did not recoup any fee waivers in the current fiscal year. Additional waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by month of expiration for the Funds are as follows:

10.  REPROCESSING OF SHAREHOLDER TRADES
 
It was determined that several of the High Income Fund’s securities were mispriced for the period January 25, 2023 through October 27, 2023 resulting in an overstatement of the Fund’s net assets and net asset value (NAV) per share for each class. Since the amount of the overstatement was concluded to be material, the Fund’s daily net assets and NAV per share were revised for the period shareholder transactions were reprocessed. As a result of reprocessing shareholder trades, the Fund incurred a loss of $853,716. The Fund’s Adviser is reimbursing the Fund for these losses. The amount remaining to be reimbursed is shown as a receivable on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
 
11.  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 that fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of February 29, 2024, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and National Financial Services LLC, for the benefit of their customers, owned 38.02% and 34.77% of the outstanding shares of the High Income Fund, respectively. As of February 29, 2024 National Financial Services LLC and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., for the benefit of their customers, owned 43.30% and 54.67% of the outstanding shares of the Short Term Fund, respectively.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
 
At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Managed Portfolio Series (“Trust”) on February 21-22, 2024, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), each of whom was present in person, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Principal Street Partners, LLC (“Principal Street” or the “Adviser”) regarding the Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund and the Principal Street Short Term Municipal Fund (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) for another annual term.
 
Prior to the meeting and at a meeting held on January 4, 2024, the Trustees received and considered information from Principal Street and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Support Materials”). Before voting to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Support Materials with Trust management and with counsel to the Independent Trustees, and received a memorandum and advice from such counsel discussing the legal standards for the Trustees’ consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations.
 
In determining whether to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following with respect to each Fund: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Principal Street with respect to the Fund; (2) the Fund’s historical performance and the performance of other investment accounts managed by Principal Street, as applicable; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by Principal Street, from services rendered to the Fund; (4) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (5) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee for the Fund reflects such economies of scale for the Fund’s benefit; and (6) other benefits to Principal Street resulting from its relationship with the Fund.  In their deliberations, the Trustees weighed to varying degrees the importance of the information provided to them, did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and considered the information and made its determinations for each Fund separately and independently of the other Fund.
 
Based upon the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, including a presentation to the Board by representatives from Principal Street, and the Support Materials, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Trust and Principal Street as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement, as it relates to each Fund, continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that Principal Street performs, the investment advisory fees that each Fund pays, and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as it relates to each Fund, are summarized below.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Trustees considered the scope of services that Principal Street provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that such services include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) investing the Fund’s assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies; (2) determining the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold, or otherwise disposed of and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting all proxies, if any, with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions effected by Principal Street on behalf of the Fund; (5) selecting broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Fund; and (6) monitoring and maintaining the Fund’s

compliance with the Trust’s policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws. The Trustees noted the significant experience and expertise of the portfolio managers that Principal Street utilizes in managing each Fund’s assets, as well as Principal Street’s constructive response to compliance matters. The Trustees reviewed Principal Street’s financials, assets under management and capitalization. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that Principal Street had sufficient resources to support the management of each Fund. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services that Principal Street provides to each Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
 
Fund Historical Performance and the Overall Performance of Principal Street.  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by Principal Street, the Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to the Fund’s Morningstar category (“Category”) as well as a smaller sub-set of peer funds (“Cohort”), and an appropriate benchmark index. When comparing each Fund’s performance against its Category and Cohort, the Trustees took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Fund, as well as the Fund’s level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from the funds in the Category and Cohort.  The Trustees noted that Principal Street manages other accounts with a somewhat similar strategy as the Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund, but that there are enough differences between these accounts and the Fund for a performance comparison to be meaningful.
 
 
Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund had outperformed the Category and Cohort averages over the year-to-date and one-year periods ended September 30, 2023, as well as the Category average over the three-year period ended September 30, 2023, while underperforming the Cohort average over the three-year period and the Category and Cohort averages over the five-year period, in each case as of September 30, 2023.  The Trustees also noted that the Fund had underperformed its benchmark index over all periods presented as of September 30, 2023.
     
 
Principal Street Short Term Municipal Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund had outperformed the Category and Cohort averages as well as its benchmark index for all periods presented as of September 30, 2023.

Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability.  The Trustees considered the management fee that each Fund pays to Principal Street under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as Principal Street’s profitability analysis for services rendered to each Fund during the 12 months ending September 30, 2023.  The Trustees also considered the effect of an expense limitation agreement on Principal Street’s compensation and that Principal Street has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees and, if necessary, reimburse each Fund for operating expenses, as specified in the Funds’ prospectus.  In that regard, the Trustees noted that Principal Street waived a portion of its management fees for each Fund during its most recent fiscal year.  The Trustees noted that the management fees charged to Principal Street’s separately managed accounts are equal to or greater than the management fee charged by Principal Street to the Funds. The Trustees considered the reasonableness of Principal Street’s profits from its service relationship with the Funds, noting that the service relationship with the Principal Street Short Term Municipal Fund has not been profitable for the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023.
 
Comparative Fee and Expense Data.  The Trustees considered a comparative analysis of the contractual expenses borne by each Fund and those of funds in the same Category and Cohort.
 
 
Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expenses (after waivers and expense reimbursements) were each higher than the Category and Cohort averages. In connection with their review of the management fee, the Board considered the research-intensive nature of

the Fund’s investment strategy.  While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, the Trustees concluded that Principal Street’s advisory fee is reasonable.
     
 
Principal Street Short Term Municipal Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expenses (after waivers and expense reimbursements) were each higher than the Category and Cohort averages. In connection with their review of the management fee, the Board considered the research-intensive nature of the Fund’s investment strategy.  The Trustees further took into account that the average net assets of the funds comprising the Cohort were significantly higher than the assets of the Fund. While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, the Trustees concluded that Principal Street’s advisory fee is reasonable.

Economies of Scale.  The Trustees considered whether the Funds would benefit from any economies of scale, noting that the investment advisory fee for each Fund does not contain breakpoints.  The Trustees noted that Principal Street had agreed to consider breakpoints in the future in response to asset growth in the Funds and determined to revisit the issue in the future as circumstances change and Fund asset levels increase.
 
Other Benefits.  The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by Principal Street from its relationship with the Funds. The Trustees noted that Principal Street does not use affiliated brokers to execute the Funds’ portfolio transactions. While the Trustees noted that each Fund utilizes Rule 12b-1 fees to pay for shareholder and distribution services related to Investor Class and A Class shareholders of the Funds, as applicable, the Trustees also observed that Principal Street was incurring its own distribution expenses on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees considered that Principal Street may receive some form of reputational benefit from services rendered to the Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be quantified. The Trustees concluded that Principal Street does not receive additional material benefits from its relationship with the Funds.
