Pemberwick Fund

We are pleased to present the Pemberwick Fund annual report covering the period from May 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017. Portfolio performance information, market commentary and our outlook for the period ended March 31, 2017 follows. We encourage you to carefully review the enclosed information to stay informed.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE AND MARKET REVIEW:

For the eleven months ended March 31, 2017 Pemberwick Fund (“Pemberwick”) generated a periodic total investment return of 0.68%, net of expenses. The Portfolio’s primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index returned 0.57% during the same period. Since its inception on February 1, 2010 Pemberwick has generated a return net of expenses of 1.16% vs. Pemberwick’s benchmark return of 1.21% for the same period. Pemberwick’s annualized performance for the 1 year and 5 year return were 0.87% and 1.07%, respectively, vs. Pemberwick’s benchmark return of 0.71% and 0.93%, respectively. The benchmark index does not reflect any expenses or transaction costs. Pemberwick generated a return before expenses but after transaction costs of 1.24% for the eleven months ended March 31, 2017 and 1.56% since inception.

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will change so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-888-893-4491. The gross expense ratio of the fund is 0.45%.

During the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, Pemberwick continued its strategy of building a portfolio of investment grade bonds with laddered maturities, therefore generating favorable returns without taking on significant duration or interest rate risk. In addition, Pemberwick has continued to concentrate its investments in investment grade floating and fixed rate bonds issued by financial institutions with assets greater than $200 billion and securities issued by the US Treasury and Agencies. Current yields on bonds issued by said financial institutions, which made up approximately 83% of the Pemberwick portfolio as of March 31, 2017, have been relatively flat year over year. In addition, short term yields in general remained at historically low levels as of March 31, 2017. We are pleased with Pemberwick’s performance given these circumstances.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING:

Pemberwick Fund continues to be invested primarily in investment grade fixed and floating rate securities issued by financial institutions with assets greater than $200 billion and securities issued by the US Treasury and Agencies. In addition, Pemberwick currently has approximately 3% of its assets invested in short-term securities with maturities of approximately 30 days. Pemberwick’s net assets have increased by approximately 4% during the eleven months ended March 31, 2017: net assets have increased from approximately $177.8 million as of April 30, 2016 to approximately $184.1 million as of March 31, 2017.

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how the Fund performed during the eleven months ended March 31, 2017 and reflects the views of the investment advisor at the time of this writing.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Fixed-income securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment and extension risks. By concentrating its assets in the banking industry, the Fund is subject to the risk that economic, business, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the banking industry will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were diversified across different industries or sectors. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.

The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged market index and should not be considered indicative of any Pemberwick investment.  It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed-income investment to a change in interest rates.

Pemberwick Fund changed its fiscal year from April 30 to March 31.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2017

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Pemberwick Fund (the “Pemberwick Fund” or the “Fund”) is a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a non-diversified open-end investment management company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. The Pemberwick Fund, a series of FundVantage Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into a newly created series of the Trust (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated November 1, 2016. The Reorganization was approved by the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund at a meeting held on November 17, 2016. The Predecessor Fund transferred all its assets to the Fund in exchange for shares of the Fund and the assumption by the Fund of all the known liabilities of the Predecessor Fund.  The Predecessor Fund commenced operations on February 1, 2010.  Pemberwick Investment Advisors LLC (“Pemberwick” or the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor to the Fund, and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“J.P. Morgan” or the “Sub-Advisor”) serves as the sub-advisor to the Fund.  Pemberwick and J.P. Morgan also served as the advisor and sub-advisor, respectively, to the Predecessor Fund.  The Fund has changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.  The Fund follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum current income that is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.  These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

A.	Security Valuation:  All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
B.	Federal Income Taxes:  It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required.
	The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities.  Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  The tax returns for the Fund for the prior three fiscal years are open for examination.  The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware.

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2017

C.	Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions:  Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective interest method.
	The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, daily, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually.  Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains.  All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.  The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP.  To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment.
	The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees.  Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust proportionately based on allocation methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).  Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means.
D.	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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
E.	Redemption Fees:  The Fund does not charge redemption fees to shareholders.
F.	Reclassification of Capital Accounts:  GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting.  These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.  For the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, the Fund made the following permanent tax adjustments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:

Accumulated	Accumulated
Net Investment	Net Realized	Capital
Income/(Loss)	Gain/(Loss)	Stock
$29,561	$(29,239)	$(322)

G. Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End:  In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2017, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and had concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary.

H. New Accounting Pronouncement: In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 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.

Debt Securities:  Debt securities, including corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and U.S. government agency issues, are generally valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service that utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. In addition, the model may incorporate market observable data, such as reported sales or similar securities, broker

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2017

quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued primarily using dealer quotations.  To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Companies:  Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they would be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Debt Securities:  Short-term debt securities having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at the evaluated mean between bid and asked price. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which, as of March 31, 2017, was comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s administrator.  The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available, or the closing price does not represent fair value, by following procedures approved by the Board.  These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 fair valuation hierarchy of the Fund’s securities as of March 31, 2017:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Corporate Bonds and Notes	$	—	$	134,691,902	$	—	$	134,691,902

Refer to the Fund’s schedule of investments for a detailed break-out of securities by industry classification.  Transfers among levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.  During the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, the Fund recognized no transfers among levels.  There were no level 3 securities held in the Fund for the eleven months ended March 31, 2017.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

For the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, the Advisor provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, and facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund.  Effective December 5, 2016, as compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% for the Fund based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund.  The Board previously approved a new Investment Advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Advisor, pursuant to which the Advisor has agreed to reduce the Fund’s Advisor fee from 0.50% to 0.25%, effective December 5, 2016.  Prior to the reorganization, the Advisor was entitled to receive 0.50%.  For the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, the Fund incurred $639,059 in advisory fees.  For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Fund incurred $821,157 in advisory fees.  Advisory fees payable at March 31, 2017 for the Fund were $21,677.  The Advisor has hired J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. as a sub-advisor to manage the U.S. Treasuries and agency debt portion of the Fund.  The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor fee for the Pemberwick Fund from its own assets and these fees are not an additional expense of the Fund.

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses.  The Advisor voluntarily waives 10 basis points of the annual investment advisory fee Pemberwick is entitled to receive from the Fund pursuant to the advisory agreement between Pemberwick and the Fund. Such waiver will continue until Pemberwick notifies the Fund of a change in its voluntary waiver or its discontinuation.

For the eleven months ended March 31, 2017, the Advisor reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $408,525 for the Fund.  For the year ended April 30, 2016, the Advisor reduced its fees and absorbed Fund expenses in the amount of $574,850.

Beginning December 6, 2016, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS” or the “Administrator”) acts as the Fund’s Administrator under an Administration Agreement.  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 Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals.  BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNY Mellon”) provided administrative and accounting services to the Fund pursuant to an Accounting and Administrative Services Agreement through December 5, 2016.  Effective December 5, 2016, U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC also serves as the fund accountant and transfer agent to the Fund.  Vigilant Compliance, LLC serves as the Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund.  U.S. Bank N.A., an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, serves

NOTE 7 – PRINCIPAL RISKS

The following is a list of certain risks that may apply to your investment in the Fund. Further information about investment risks is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Credit Risk:  Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest.  A credit rating assigned to a particular debt security is essentially the opinion of an NRSRO as to the credit quality of an issuer and may prove to be inaccurate.  There is also the risk that a bond issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates.

Concentration Risk:  By concentrating its assets in the banking industry, the Fund is subject to the risk that economic, business, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the banking industry will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were diversified across different industries or sectors.

33

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2017

Deflation Risk:  Deflation to the U.S. economy may cause principal to decline and inflation-linked securities could underperform securities whose interest payments are not adjusted for inflation or linked to a measure of inflation.

Fixed Income Market Risks:  Fixed-income securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment and extension risks.  There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates.  Fixed-income securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.  Limited trading opportunities for certain fixed-income securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.

Interest Rate Risk:  Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Fund.  Interest rates have been historically low, so the Fund faces a heightened risk that interest rates may rise.  Debt securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.

Management Risk:  The Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect and the investment strategies employed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor in selecting investments for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other similar investment vehicles having similar investment strategies.

Market Risk:  Certain investments selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time.  The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.

Municipal Securities Risk:  The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.  Budgetary constraints of local, state, and federal governments upon which the issuers may be relying for funding may also impact municipal securities. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market, and market conditions may directly impact the liquidity and valuation of municipal securities.

Non-Diversification Risk: Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer.  As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio.

34

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2017

Prepayment Risk:  In times of declining interest rates, the Fund’s higher yielding securities will be prepaid, and the Fund will have to replace them with securities having a lower yield.

U.S. Government Agencies and Instrumentalities Securities Risk:  Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities have different levels of U.S. Government credit support.  Some are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while others are supported by only the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality.  No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities because they are not obligated to do so by law.  Guarantees of timely prepayment of principal and interest do not assure that the market prices and yields of the securities are guaranteed nor do they guarantee the net asset value or performance of the Fund, which will vary with changes in interest rates, the Advisor’s success and other market conditions.

NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications.  The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 9 – 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 Investment Company Act of 1940.  While no individual shareholder has a position which exceeds 25% of the voting securities of the Fund, there are numerous shareholders who are affiliated with the Advisor.  As of March 31, 2017, investors who are affiliated with the Advisor, when aggregated, owned 99% of the voting securities of the Fund.

NOTE 10 – FUND REORGANIZATION AND OTHER INFORMATION

On November 17, 2016 the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the agreement and plan of reorganization providing for the transfer of assets of the Predecessor Fund to the Pemberwick Fund and the assumption of the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund by the Pemberwick Fund.  The following table illustrates the specifics of the reorganization:

Fund	Shareholders of	Fund	Combined	Tax Status
Net Assets	Acquired Fund	Net Assets	Net Assets	of Transfer
$172,520,816(1)	17,199,770	—	$172,520,816	Non-taxable

In connection with a reorganization of the Fund into the Trust effective December 5, 2016, the Board approved the retention of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), U.S. Bank N.A. (“U.S. Bank”), Quasar Distributors LLC (“Quasar”) and Vigilant Compliance, LLC (“Vigilant”) as new service providers to the Fund.  The new service agreements became effective on December 6, 2016.  The Fund’s prior service agreements with BNY Mellon were terminated on December 5, 2016.

NOTE 11 – CHANGE IN AUDITOR DISCLOSURE

To facilitate the various series of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”) having a common independent registered public accounting firm, the decision to dismiss PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) effective upon its completion of its audit for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2016 was recommended by the Fund’s Audit Committee and approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees on February 6, 2017.

PwC’s reports on the Fund’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2016 and April 30, 2015 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through March 14, 2017 (i) there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the Fund’s financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Trust has selected BBD, LLP (“BBD”) to serve as the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund’s fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The decision to select BBD was recommended by the Trust’s Audit Committee on February 6, 2017 and was approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees on February 6, 2017. During the Fund’s two most recent fiscal years and through March 14, 2017, neither the Fund, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with BBD on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund’s financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of said Item 304). The selection of BBD does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Fund or the Trust’s Board of Trustees with the performance of the Fund’s prior independent registered public accounting firm, PwC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of

Manager Directed Portfolios

and the Shareholders of Pemberwick Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pemberwick Fund, a series of Manager Directed Portfolios, (the “Fund”) including the schedule of investments, as of March 31, 2017, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period May 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit. The statement of operations for the year ended April 30, 2016, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2016 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended April 30, 2016 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated June 28, 2016 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017 by correspondence with the custodian.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pemberwick Fund as of March 31, 2017, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period May 1, 2016 through March 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

March 31, 2017 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees); and other Fund expenses. This Example 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 indicated and held for the entire period from October 1, 2016 to March 31, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.  There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $15 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account.  The example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and 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.  As noted above, there are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts that would increase the amount of expense paid on your account.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

APPROVAL OF THE PEMBERWICK FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”) met on September 27, 2016 to consider the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Pemberwick Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and the Fund’s investment adviser, Pemberwick Investment Advisors LLC (“PIA”), and the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement,” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) between PIA and the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPM”).  Prior to the meeting on September 27, 2016, the Board requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Agreements.  The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including draft copies of the Agreements, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing in detail the Board’s fiduciary obligations and the factors the Board should consider in considering the renewal of the Agreements, detailed comparative information relating to the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, the Pemberwick Fund, a series of FundVantage Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”), as well as the management fee, sub-advisory fee and other expenses of the Fund, due diligence materials relating to PIA and JPM, including PIA’s and JPM’s Form ADV, and other pertinent information.  Based on their evaluation of the information provided by PIA and JPM, the Trustees (including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”)), approved the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement each for an initial two-year term.  Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Agreements.

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED TO THE FUND.  The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services that would be provided by PIA to the Fund and the amount of time to be devoted by PIA’s staff to the Fund’s operations.  The Trustees considered PIA’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Fund, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of key personnel at PIA and JPM who would be involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund, including Jim Hussey, who would continue to serve as portfolio manager of the Fund, and Gregg Hrivnak, Richard Figuly, and Susan Parekh, who would continue to serve as co-portfolio managers for the sleeve of the Fund’s portfolio sub-advised by JPM.  The Trustees reviewed the structure of PIA’s and JPM’s compliance programs, PIA’s commitment to the Fund, as well as the information provided by PIA and JPM in response to the due diligence questionnaire and other information provided by PIA and JPM, all of which was included in the materials provided to the Board in advance of the September 27, 2016 meeting.  The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and considered the overall capability of PIA and JPM to manage the Fund’s assets.  The Trustees, in consultation with

APPROVAL OF THE PEMBERWICK FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

	counsel to the Independent Trustees, reviewed PIA’s and JPM’s compliance programs and received an affirmation from the Trust’s CCO that PIA’s and JPM’s compliance programs were compliant with Rule 206(4)-7(a) promulgated under the Advisers Act.  The Trustees concluded that PIA and JPM had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing their duties under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively, and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services to be provided to the Fund were satisfactory.
2.	INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE PREDECESSOR FUND, THE ADVISER AND THE SUB-ADVISER.  In assessing the portfolio management services to be provided by PIA and JPM, the Trustees reviewed the investment management experience of Mr. Hussey, who would serve as the Fund’s portfolio manager, and of Mr. Hrivnak, Mr. Figuly, and Ms. Parekh, who would serve as portfolio managers of JPM’s sleeve of Fund assets.  As part of their review, the Trustees reviewed the performance of the Predecessor Fund in comparison to a benchmark index, the Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index.  The Trustees examined the performance of the Predecessor Fund for the year-to-date periods ended April 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 and for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended April 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016.  The Trustees noted the Predecessor Fund’s performance tracked very closely to the benchmark index.
	The Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by PIA as the advisor and JPM as the sub-advisor for the Fund was satisfactory under applicable market conditions.  Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from PIA’s and JPM’s portfolio management services.
3.	COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER.  The Trustees then considered the cost of services and the structure of PIA’s proposed management fee, including a review of the expense analysis and other pertinent material with respect to the Fund.  The Trustees considered data relating to the cost structure of the Fund relative to a peer group of U.S. open-end short-term bond funds with assets in the $100-$300 million range, as compiled by Morningstar (the “Morningstar Peer Group”), which had been included in the materials provided for the September 27, 2016 meeting.  The Board considered the Fund’s proposed management fee of 0.25% for Fund assets, noting the fee fell in the first quartile for the Morningstar Peer Group, below the Morningstar Peer Group average fee of 0.61%, which fell in the third quartile.  The Board further noted PIA had agreed to voluntarily waive its management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in the amount of 0.10%.  The Trustees also

AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

	considered the overall profitability of PIA that may result from its management of the Fund, considering PIA’s financial statements.  The Trustees also examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to PIA from the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement.
	The Trustees concluded the Fund’s expenses and the fees to be paid to PIA were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative expense and management fee information and the investment management services to be provided to the Fund by PIA.  The Trustees further concluded, based on a profitability analysis prepared by PIA, that PIA’s projected profit from the Fund would not be excessive and PIA has sufficient financial resources to support its provision of advisory services to the Fund.
	The Trustees considered the sub-advisory fee payable by PIA to JPM and found it to be reasonable.  In considering the sub-advisory fee, the Trustees noted that it is paid by PIA, and not the Fund.
4.	EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS.  The Trustees considered the potential economies of scale that the Fund might realize under the proposed management fee and expense ratio.  The Trustees noted that PIA’s management fee did not currently include breakpoint reductions, but that PIA had, historically, voluntarily waived a portion of its advisory fee for the Predecessor Fund.  The Trustees noted JPM’s fee did include breakpoints, but that JPM’s fee was paid by PIA and not the Fund, so any fee reduction accrued to PIA’s benefit.  After considering PIA’s advisory fee and potential voluntary fee waivers and expense reimbursements, the Trustees concluded the potential economies of scale with respect to the Fund were acceptable given its current asset size.
5.	BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND.  The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by PIA from its association with the Fund.  Based on the information presented, the Trustees did not consider any ancillary benefits to PIA or JPM serving as investment adviser and sub-adviser to the Fund, respectively, to be relevant factors.

In considering the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances.  Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

This report is intended for shareholders of the Fund and may not be used as sales literature unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

Past performance results shown in this report should not be considered a representation of future performance.  Share price and returns will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Statements and other information herein are dated and are subject to change.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report.  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 is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Experts.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there are at least two audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee.  Messrs. Gaylord B. Lyman and Scott C. Jones  are the “audit committee financial experts” and are 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 two fiscal years.  “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.  There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

	FYE 3/31/2017*	FYE  4/30/2016
Audit Fees	$19,500	$27,030
Audit-Related Fees	N/A	N/A
Tax Fees	$1,500	$2,500
All Other Fees	N/A	N/A

*Fund changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.

Pursuant to its charter, the Trust’s Audit Committee must review and approve in advance the engagement of the independent accountants, including each audit and non-audit service permitted by appropriate rules or regulations provided to the Trust and each non-audit service provided to the Trust’s investment advisers and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provides ongoing services to the Trust relating to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. The Committee may delegate the authority to grant such pre-approval to one or more Committee members who are independent Trustees within the meaning of Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that the decision of such member(s) is presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee may approve each audit and non-audit service on a case-by-case basis, and/or adopt pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to a particular service, provided that the Committee is informed of each service in a timely manner and the policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Committee’s responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to management. The foregoing pre-approval requirement with respect to the provision of non-audit services to the Trust may be waived if (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to its independent accountants during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (ii) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by one or more members of the Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.

The percentage of fees billed by BBD, LLP and the previous independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended 3/31/2017 and 4/30/2016, respectively, applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

	FYE  3/31/2017*	FYE  4/30/2016
Audit-Related Fees	0%	0%
Tax Fees	0%	0%
All Other Fees	0%	0%

*Fund changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to March 31.

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billedor 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 last two years.  The audit committee of the Board of Trustees 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.

Non-Audit Related Fees	FYE  3/31/2017*	FYE  4/30/2016

(a) The Registrant’s President/Principal Executive Officer and Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer have reviewed the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “Act”)) as of a date within 90 days of the filing of this report, as required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the Act and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d‑15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on their review, such officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in this report is appropriately recorded, processed, summarized and reported and made known to them by others within the Registrant and by the Registrant’s service provider.

EX-99.CODE ETH

Exhibit A

Manager Directed Portfolios

Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers

I.COVERED OFFICERS/ PURPOSE OF THE CODE

This code of ethics (the “Code”) for Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”) applies to the Trust’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers,” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

A. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

B. full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Trust;

C. compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

D. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

E. accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

II. COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Overview.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of or his service to the Trust.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer or a member of his family receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Trust.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and are already subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trust because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Trust.  The Trust’s and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent or identify and correct violations of these provisions.  This Code does not and is not intended to repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from or as a result of the contractual relationship between the Trust and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for the adviser or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Trust.  The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.  In addition, it is recognized by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act.  The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

Each Covered Officer must:

A. not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

B. not cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Trust; and

C. not use material nonpublic knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

There are some conflict of interest situations that may be discussed with counsel if material.  Examples of these include:

A. service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

B. the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

C. the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

D. any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated persons thereof; and

E. a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

III.DISCLOSURE AND COMPLIANCE

A. Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust;

B. each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust’s Trustees and auditors, governmental regulators, and self-regulatory organizations;

C. each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trust and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with or submit to the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust; and

D. it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws rules and regulations.

IV.REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Each Covered Officer must:

A. upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code (See Exhibit B);

B. annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code (See Exhibit B);

C. not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

D. notify the Trust’s compliance officer promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The compliance officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.  However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Officer will be considered by the Board.

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

A. The compliance officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him.

B. If, after such investigation, the compliance officer believes that no violation has occurred, the compliance officer is not required to take any further action.

C. Any matter that the compliance officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Board.

D. If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of and appropriate modifications to applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer.

E. The Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate.

F. Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

V.OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.  Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Trust’s adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Trust’s and its investment adviser’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.

VI.AMENDMENTS

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees.

VII.CONFIDENTIALITY

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board and its counsel.

VIII.INTERNAL USE

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
