September [...], 2020

Dear Shareholder,

Please take a moment to read this letter and the enclosed proxy statement about an important matter pertaining to your investment. We need your help with the upcoming special joint meeting of shareholders of the Jackson Square All-Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”), to vote on important proposals affecting the Fund. The meeting will be held on October 14, 2020, at 615 East Michigan Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 at 1:00 P.M. Central Time. For the reasons described below, we are asking shareholders of the Fund to approve an amended investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Jackson Square Partners, LLC (“Jackson Square”). Jackson Square is proposing an increase in the Fund's contractual advisory fee in connection with a change in the Fund's principal investment strategies. Shareholders of the Fund will also be asked to approve a change in the classification of the Fund from diversified to a non-diversified Fund.

The question and answer section that follows discusses the proposals. The proxy statement itself provides greater detail about the proposals. The Board of Trustees recommends that you read the enclosed materials carefully and vote in favor of the proposals.

You may choose one of the following options to authorize a proxy to vote your shares (which is commonly known as proxy voting) or to vote in person at the meeting:


•	Mail: Complete and return the enclosed proxy card.


•	Internet: Access the website shown on your proxy card and follow the online instructions.


•	Telephone (automated service): Call the toll-free number shown on your proxy card and follow the recorded instructions.


•	In person: Attend the special shareholder meeting on October 14, 2020.

We are concerned about your health and safety during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and we intend to monitor the recommendations of public health officials and governmental restrictions as the situation continues to evolve. If we decide to hold the special meeting at a different time, in a different location, or partially or entirely by means of remote communication (i.e., a virtual meeting), we will make an announcement to shareholders eligible to vote at the special meeting. Thank you for your response and for your continued investment in the Fund.

Sincerely,

/s/ Brian R. Wiedmeyer

Questions and Answers

While we encourage you to read the full text of the enclosed proxy statement, for your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the proposals that require a shareholder vote.

Q. Why am I receiving this proxy statement?


A.	You are receiving these proxy materials - that include the proxy statement and your proxy card - because you have the right to vote on one or more important proposals concerning the Jackson Square All-Cap Growth Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”).

Proposal 1

This proposal relates to the approval of an amended investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Jackson Square Partners, LLC (“Jackson Square”) (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”).

Proposal 2

The shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve a change in the Fund’s classification under Section 5(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), from diversified to non-diversified.

Q. Why am I being asked to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement?

Jackson Square currently serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (the "Current Advisory Agreement"). You are being asked to vote to approve an amended investment advisory agreement (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”) between Jackson Square and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, the principal effect of which would be to increase the contractual advisory fee that Jackson Square receives for managing the Fund, effective on or about December [31], 2020.

At the August 19, 2020 meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) approved a request to change the name of the Fund to the Jackson Square International Growth Fund and to amend the Fund’s principal investment strategies such that the Fund would invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Trust will file a post-effective amendment to the Fund’s registration statement pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended in late October with the goal of having the proposed changes to the Fund effective on or about December [31], 2020. Jackson Square is asking shareholders to approve an increase in the Fund’s annual advisory fee from 0.65% to 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets to account for the additional work, staffing and expense of researching and selecting investments from a broader investment universe, additional due diligence requirements and increased geographic coverage requirements that arise from managing a fund with an international strategy.

At a meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) held on August 19, 2020, the Board approved the Amended Advisory Agreement, and determined to recommend that the shareholders of the Fund also approve the Amended Advisory Agreement.


Q.	How would this affect my account with the Funds?

You will still own the same number of shares in the Fund and the value of your investment will not change as a result of the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement. In addition, there will be continuity of portfolio management with respect to the Fund. Other than the change in advisory fee and effective date, there are no material differences between the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement between Jackson Square and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, as is discussed in more detail in the enclosed proxy statement.


Q.	How will the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement affect the fees and expenses I pay as a shareholder of the Fund?


A.	Shareholder approval of the Amended Advisory Agreement between Jackson Square and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, would result in an increase in the annual advisory fee rate payable by the Fund to Jackson Square (from the current annual rate of 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets to an annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund's average daily net assets).

In addition, if shareholders approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, Jackson Square will agree to a change in the Fund’s expense limitation agreement, under which Jackson Square agrees to waive fees or pay Fund expenses do not exceed a certain limit. Currenly Jackson Square has agreed, through at least February 28, 2021, to waive fees or pay fund expenses as necessary to limit the Fund's annual operating expenses to no more than 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. If the Amended Advisory Agreement is approved, Jackson Square will agree, through at least February 28, 2022, to waive fees or pay fund expenses in order to limit the Fund's annual operating expenses to no more than 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

So, if shareholders approve the proposed Amended Advisory Agreement, the Fund’s annual expense limit will be increased to 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, until at least February 28, 2022, which means that the annual cost of your investment will increase by 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets.


Q.	Are there any material differences between the Current Advisory Agreement with Jackson Square and the Amended Advisory Agreement?


A.	Other than the increase in the advisory fee and the effective date, there are no material differences between the Current Advisory Agreement with Jackson Square and the Amended Advisory Agreement.


Q.	Why are shareholders of the Fund being asked to approve the change of the Fund's classification to a non-diversified fund?

Under the 1940 Act, a fund must be classified as either “diversified” or “non-diversified.” A non-diversified fund may invest in greater proportions in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. A fund's classification as "non-diversified" allows it to invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single company or small number of companies. The Fund is currently classified as a diversified fund. Section 13(a)(1) of the 1940 Act provides that a fund may not change its classification from diversified to non-diversified unless authorized by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the fund. Jackson Square would like to classify the Fund as a non-diversified Fund. Jackson Square believes that limiting the Fund’s portfolio holdings to 25-45 securities, which would result in the Fund holding a non-diversified portfolio of securities at times, would allow Jackson Square the flexibility to optimally implement the Fund’s revised principal investment strategies.

Accordingly, shareholders are being asked to approve the change in the Fund’s classification, effective on or about December [31], 2020.


Q.	How does the Trust’s Board of Trustees recommend that I vote?


A.	After careful consideration, the Board determined to recommend that shareholders vote FOR the proposals.


Q.	Who is eligible to vote?


A.	Any person who owned shares of a Fund on the “record date,” which is August 27, 2020 (even if that person has since sold those shares), is eligible to vote on the Proposal or proposals that relate to such Fund.


Q.	Who is paying for this proxy mailing and for the other expenses and solicitation costs associated with this shareholder meeting?


A.	The expenses incurred in connection with preparing the proxy statement and its enclosures and all related legal and solicitation expenses will be paid by Jackson Square.


Q.	What vote is required to approve the proposals?

Approval of each Proposal requires the vote of the “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Fund. Under the 1940 Act, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined as the lesser of: (1) 67% or more of the voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote present in person or by proxy at the special meeting of shareholders, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities entitled to vote thereon are present in person or represented by proxy; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund entitled to vote thereon.

A majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, at the special meeting is required to approve any adjournment(s) of the special meeting, even if the number of votes cast is fewer than the number required for a quorum.


Q.	How can I cast my vote?


A.	You may vote in any of four ways:


•	By telephone, with a toll-free call to the phone number indicated on the proxy card.


•	By internet, by accessing the website shown on your proxy card and following the online instructions.


•	By mailing in your proxy card.


•	In person at the meeting on October 14, 2020

We encourage you to vote via telephone using the control number on your proxy card and following the simple instructions because this method results in the most efficient means of transmitting your vote and reduces the need for the Fund to conduct telephone solicitations and/or follow up mailings. If you would like to change your previous vote, you may vote again using any of the methods described above.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 1

APPROVAL OF AMENDED INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

Background

Jackson Square Partners, LLC (the "Adviser" or "Jackson Square"), has served as the investment adviser to the Fund since its inception pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Jackson Square (the “Current Advisory Agreement”). The Adviser is requesting shareholder approval for an amendment to the Fund's investment advisory agreement which would increase the advisory fee that Jackson Square would receive for managing the Fund (the “Amended Advisory Agreement”). The Fund's current annual advisory fee is 0.65% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Under the Amended Advisory Agreement the annual advisory fee payable to Jackson Square by the Fund would increase to 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Jackson Square has entered into an operating expenses limitation agreement with the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, which requires Jackson Square to waive its advisory fees and/or pay Fund expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding leverage/borrowing interest, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing plan fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, through at least February 28, 2021 (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”). If shareholders of the Fund approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, Jackson Square would enter into a revised operating expenses limitation agreement that would set the Fund’s operating expenses limit at 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets through at least February 28, 2022 (the “New Expense Limitation Agreement”).

At the August 19, 2020 meeting, the Board approved a request to change the name of the Fund to the Jackson Square International Growth Fund and to amend the Fund’s principal investment strategies such that the Fund would invest at least 80% of its total assets in securities of non-U.S. issuers. The Trust will file a post-effective amendment to the Fund’s registration statement pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act of 1933 as amended in late October with the goal of having the proposed changes to the Fund effective on or about December [31], 2020. Jackson Square is asking shareholders to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement and increased advisory fee due to the proposed change in the Fund’s principal investment strategies. Jackson Square believes that the increased advisory fee is warranted as a result of the additional work, staffing and expense of researching and selecting investments from a broader investment universe, additional due diligence requirements and increased geographic coverage that arise from managing a fund with an international strategy. Brian Tolles and Gregory Chory will serve as portfolio managers of the Fund subsequent to the name and strategy change. Each of Messrs. Tolles and Chory currently serves as a portfolio manager to the Fund.

Under the 1940 Act, a material amendment to an investment advisory agreement must be approved by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a fund. Therefore, the Amended Advisory Agreement requires shareholder approval before becoming effective.

The Board approved the Amended Advisory Agreement between Jackson Square and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, at a meeting held on August 19, 2020, and determined to recommend that shareholders of the Fund also approve the Amended Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Fund is seeking shareholder approval to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement with its amended fee schedule. If Fund shareholders do not approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board and Jackson Square may consider other alternatives for the Fund such as potentially liquidating the Fund in a taxable transaction for Fund shareholders. The Board will take such action as it deems in the best interests of shareholders of the Fund.

Comparison of Current Fees and Expenses

The table below sets for the fees and expenses payable by shareholders of the Fund under both the Current Advisory Agreement and, on a pro forma basis under the Amended Advisory Agreement. The fees and expenses in table are based on the actual expenses incurred by the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019.

⁽²⁾

Jackson Square has contractually agreed to waive its management fees and pay Fund expenses in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 fees, Shareholder Servicing Plan fees, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, brokerage and other transactional expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.90% of the 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 36 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/or expense payment occurred and the expense limit in place at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is indefinite, but cannot be terminated through at least February 28, 2021. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or the Adviser.

Terms of the Prior and Amended Advisory Agreements

A copy of the Amended Advisory Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. The following description is only a summary; however, all material terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement have been included in this summary. You should refer to Exhibit A for the Amended Advisory Agreement, and the description set forth in this proxy statement of the Amended Advisory Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit A. Other than the advisory fee and effective date, there are no material differences between the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement with respect to services provided by Jackson Square. The investment advisory services to be provided by Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement are identical to the services currently provided by Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement.

The Current Advisory Agreement with Jackson Square was most recently approved by the Board with respect to the Fund on February 17-18, 2020. The Current Advisory Agreement was approved by the initial shareholder for the Fund on September 19, 2016. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019, Jackson Square did not receive any advisory fees after application of the Current Expense Limitation Agreement.

Advisory Services. Both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement state that, subject to the supervision and direction of the Board, Jackson Square will provide for the overall management of each Fund including: (i) continuously investing the assets of the Fund in a manner consistent with the prospectus, other written guidelines or restrictions, as may be amended from time to time, agreed upon in writing by the Trust and Jackson Square; (ii) determining the securities to be purchased, sold or otherwise disposed of by the Fund and the timing of

such purchases, sales and dispositions; (iii) voting all proxies for securities and exercising all other voting rights with respect to such securities in accordance with Jackson Square’s written proxy voting policies and procedures; (iv) maintaining the books and records required to be maintained by the Fund except to the extent arrangements have been made for such books and records to be maintained by the administrator or another agent of the Fund; (v) issuing settlement instructions to custodians designated by the Trust and (vi) furnishing to the Trust such information, evaluations, analyses and opinions formulated or obtained by Jackson Square in the discharge of its duties, as the Trust may, from time to time, reasonably request, including at least one in-person appearance annually before the Board.

Management Fee. The Amended Advisory Agreement contains an increase in the advisory fee relative to the Current Advisory Agreement. Both agreements provide that Jackson Square shall receive an investment advisory fee from the Fund as disclosed below, as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund:



Fund	Current Advisory Fee	New Advisory Fee
Jackson Square All-Cap Growth Fund	0.65%	0.80%

Duration and Termination. Both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement provide that they will become effective upon the latter of approval by a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Trustees”) and, if required, by a vote of the majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Both agreements provide that they shall remain in effect for the Fund for two years from the effective date and thereafter for successive periods of one year, subject to annual Board approval as required by the 1940 Act. Both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement provide for the termination of the agreement with respect to the Fund at any time (i) by the vote of the majority of the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding securities of the Fund on at least 60 days’ written notice to Jackson Square; or (ii) by Jackson Square on not less than 60 days’ written notice to the Fund.

Payment of Expenses. Under both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement, Jackson Square is responsible for providing the personnel, office space and equipment reasonably necessary for the operation of the Fund, the expenses of printing and distributing copies of the Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, and sales and advertising materials to prospective investors (to the extent such expenses are not covered by any applicable plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act), the costs of any special Board meetings or shareholder meetings convened for the primary benefit of Jackson Square, and any costs of liquidating or reorganizing a Fund. Jackson Square also shall continue to be responsible on a monthly basis for any operating expenses that exceed the agreed upon expense limit, subject to the terms of such agreement.

The Fund is responsible for all of its own expenses, except for those specifically assigned to Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement. The Fund will be responsible for the same expenses under the Amended Advisory Agreement as it is under the Current Advisory Agreement which include but are not limited to: fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance, registration and transfer of its shares; brokerage and commission expenses; all fees and expenses related to Fund custody, shareholder services and Fund accounting; interest charges on any borrowings; costs and expenses of pricing and calculating its daily net asset value and of maintaining its books; insurance premiums on property or personnel of the Fund which inure to its benefit; the cost of preparing and printing regulatory documents and other communications for distribution to existing shareholders; legal, auditing and accounting fees; fees and expenses (including legal fees) of registering and maintaining registration of its shares for sale; all expenses of maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts, and all other charges and costs of its operation plus any extraordinary and non-recurring expenses.

Brokerage. Both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement provide that Jackson Square shall be responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for the Fund, for broker-dealer selection and for negotiation of brokerage commission rates, provided that Jackson Square shall not direct orders to an affiliated person of Jackson Square without general prior authorization to use such affiliated broker or dealer from the Board. Jackson Square’s primary consideration in effecting a securities transaction will be to seek best execution. In selecting a broker-dealer

to execute each particular transaction, Jackson Square may take the following into consideration: the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of a Fund on a continuing basis. The price to the Fund in any transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the portfolio execution services offered.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification. Both the Amended Advisory Agreement and the Current Advisory Agreement provide that, in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties imposed on Jackson Square by the agreement, Jackson Square will not be subject to liability to the Trust or the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services under the agreement or for any losses sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security of the Fund.

Board Approval and Recommendation

The Board approved the Amended Advisory Agreement at a meeting held on August 19, 2020 (the “August Meeting”). Prior to the meeting, the Board received and considered information from Jackson Square and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Board with the information necessary to evaluate the approval of the Amended Advisory Agreement (“Support Materials”). In addition, at the August Meeting, representatives of Jackson Square met with the Board telephonically to discuss the terms of the Amended Advisory Agreement and the change to the Fund's strategy. Before voting to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board reviewed the Support Materials with Trust management and with counsel to the Independent Trustees, and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for the Board’s consideration of the Amended Advisory Agreement. In approving the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board considered substantially the same factors as it considered in approving the continuation of the Current Advisory Agreement, which was completed at the Board’s meeting on February 17-18, 2020, in addition to new information regarding the Transaction. This information formed the primary basis for the Board’s determinations.

In determining whether to approve the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following with respect to the Fund: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Jackson Square with respect to the Fund; (2) the Fund’s historical performance as managed by Jackson Square under the Current Advisory Agreement; (3) the costs of the services to be provided by Jackson Square and the profits to be realized by Jackson Square 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 Jackson Square resulting from its relationship with the Fund. In their deliberations, the Trustees weighed to varying degrees the importance of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.

In approving the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the following factors and made the following conclusions with respect to the Fund:

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Fund. The Trustees considered the scope of services that Jackson Square would provide under the Amended Advisory Agreement with respect to the 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 for the Fund the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting all proxies with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions that Jackson Square effected 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 policies and procedures of the Trust and with applicable securities laws. The Trustees noted Jackson Square’s assets under management and its strong capitalization. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy of the Fund's portfolio managers and their investment analysis and portfolio management experience. In this regard, the Trustees noted that Jackson Square does not manage a composite of separately managed accounts in a strategy similar to the proposed international growth strategy for the Fund; however, the Trustees noted that Jackson Square does manage products with international securities. The Board considered that Jackson Square did not expect the proposed strategy changes to the Fund to materially impact the nature, extent or quality of the services currently provided by Jackson Square to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the

nature, extent and quality of services that Jackson Square would provide to the Fund under the Amended Advisory Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management to be delivered by Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement, the Trustees would normally review the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to an appropriate securities benchmark index, the Fund’s respective peer funds according to Morningstar classifications. In this regard the Trustees noted that Jackson Square is proposing material amendments to the Fund’s principal investment strategies and that Jackson Square does not manage a composite of separately managed accounts in a strategy that is materially similar to the proposed international growth strategy for the Fund.

Advisory Fee. The Board reviewed and considered the advisory fee payable by the Fund to Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement. The Board compared the Fund’s contractual advisory fee and total expense ratio to industry data with respect to other mutual funds in the same Morningstar peer group. The Board noted that the Fund’s proposed contractual management fee was slightly above the peer group median and average. The Board also considered that the total expenses of the Fund’s IS Class after giving effect to the New Expense Limitation Agreement was above the peer group median and average and in the third quartile of the peer group. The Board also considered that the Fund’s net assets were significantly smaller than the average net assets for other funds in the peer group.

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 Jackson Square’s advisory fee with respect to the Fund continues to be reasonable.

Costs and Profitability. The Trustees considered the annual advisory fee that the Fund will pay to Jackson Square under the Amended Advisory Agreement, as well as Jackson Square’s expected profitability from services to be rendered by Jackson Square to the Fund during the first 12-months under the Amended Advisory Agreement, based on pro forma profitability analysis prepared by Jackson Square. The Trustees also considered the anticipated effect of the New Expense Limitation Agreement on Jackson Square’s compensation and that Jackson Square has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees and, if necessary, reimburse the Fund for operating expenses. The Trustees concluded that Jackson Square’s service relationship with the Fund was not anticipated to be profitable under the Amended Advisory Agreement.

Economies of Scale and Fee Levels Reflecting Those Economies. The Trustees then considered whether the Fund may benefit from any economies of scale, noting that the investment advisory fees for the Fund in the Amended Advisory Agreement does not contain breakpoints. The Trustees additionally took into account the fact that Jackson Square had indicated that it did not believe breakpoints were necessary at present due to the limited assets in the Fund but that Jackson Square agreed to consider break points as the Fund gains assets.

Other Benefits to Jackson Square. The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by Jackson Square from Jackson Square’s relationship with the Fund. The Trustees considered the extent to which Jackson Square utilizes soft dollar arrangements with respect to portfolio transactions, and that Jackson Square does not use affiliated brokers to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Trustees considered that Jackson Square may receive some form of reputational benefit from services rendered to the Fund, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be quantified. The Trustees concluded that Jackson Square does not receive additional material benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

Based on all of the information presented to and considered by the Board and the conclusions that it reached, the Board approved the Amended Advisory Agreement for the Fund on the basis that its terms and conditions are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

For the reasons set forth above, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote in favor of the Amended Advisory Agreement with Jackson Square.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF FUND CLASSIFICATION

Section 5(b) of the 1940 Act provides that funds shall be classified as either “diversified” or “non-diversified.” Under the 1940 Act, a fund must be classified as either “diversified” or “non-diversified.” A non-diversified fund may invest in greater proportions in the securities of fewer issuers than a diversified fund. Because a “non-diversified” fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, 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. Section 5(b) provides that diversified funds are those that, with respect to 75% of their total assets, may not (i) purchase securities of any issuer (except securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities or shares of investment companies) if, as a result, more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in the securities of such issuer, or (ii) acquire more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer be sets forth the requirements that must be met for an investment company to be diversified. Non-diversified funds are any funds other than diversified funds.

The Fund is classified as a diversified fund but Jackson Square is asking shareholders to approve a change in that classification to make the Fund a non-diversified fund.

Jackson Square believes it is in the best interest of shareholders to have the Fund classified as a non-diversified fund after [December 31, 2020]. Jackson Square believes it would be advantageous to shareholders for the Fund to retain the flexibility to maintain a non-diversified portfolio at times when Jackson Square believes market conditions favor holding a more concentrated portfolio. Jackson Square believes that limiting the Fund’s portfolio holdings to 25-45 securities, which would result in the Fund holding a non-diversified portfolio of securities at times, would allow Jackson Square the flexibility to optimally implement the Fund’s revised principal investment strategies.

Accordingly, shareholders of the Fund are being asked to approve the continued classification of the Fund as a non-diversified fund, effective as of [December 31, 2020], the date on which the Fund.

For the reasons set forth above, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders of the Fund vote in favor of the continued classification of the Fund as non-diversified.

INFORMATION ABOUT OWNERSHIP OF SHARES OF THE FUND

Outstanding Shares

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on August 27, 2020, the record date (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting.

VOTING INFORMATION

Who is Eligible To Vote

Shareholders of record of the Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date, are entitled to vote on the proposals at the Special Meeting and any adjournments thereof. Each whole share is entitled to one vote on each matter on which it is entitled to vote, and each fractional share is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.

Quorum

In order for a vote on a Proposal to occur at the Special Meeting, there must exist a quorum of shareholders of the Fund. With respect to the Fund, the presence at the Special Meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders representing one-third of the Fund’s shares outstanding and entitled to vote as of the Record Date constitutes a quorum for the Special Meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be counted as present. Broker “non-votes” occur when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting powers with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

In the event the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve a Proposal is not obtained at the Special Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting with respect to any Proposal in accordance with applicable law to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the Fund’s shares cast at the Special Meeting, and any adjournment with respect to any Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a simple majority of the Fund’s shares entitled to vote on the Proposal cast at the Special Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote for or against any adjournment in their discretion.

Vote Required to Pass the Proposals

As provided under the 1940 Act, approval of each Proposal will require the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. In accordance with the 1940 Act, a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of a Fund means the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the shares of the Fund present at a shareholder meeting if the owners of more than 50% of the shares of the Fund then outstanding are present in person or by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund entitled to vote at the meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will have the effect of a “no” vote for purposes of obtaining the requisite approval of the proposal.

Proxies and Voting at the Special Meeting

Shareholders may use the proxy card provided if they are unable to attend the meeting in person or wish to have their shares voted by a proxy even if they do attend the meeting. Any shareholder of the Fund giving a proxy has the power to revoke it prior to its exercise by mail (addressed to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Trust shown at the beginning of this proxy statement), or in person at the meeting, by executing a superseding proxy or by submitting a notice of revocation to the Fund. In addition, although mere attendance at the Special Meeting will not revoke a proxy, a shareholder present at the Special Meeting may withdraw a previously submitted proxy and vote in person. To obtain directions on how to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person, please call 1-855-682-6233.

All properly executed proxies received in time for the Special Meeting will be voted as specified in the proxy or, if no specification is made, FOR the Proposals referred to in the proxy statement and in the discretion of the persons named as proxies on such procedural matters that may properly come before the Special Meeting. If any other business comes before the Special Meeting, your shares will be voted at the discretion of the persons named as proxies.

Telephonic Voting. Shareholders may call the toll-free phone number indicated on their proxy card to vote their shares. Shareholders will need to enter the control number set forth on their proxy card and then will be prompted to answer a series of simple questions. The telephonic procedures are designed to authenticate a shareholder’s identity, to allow shareholders to vote their shares and to confirm that their instructions have been properly recorded.

Method of Solicitation and Expenses

The Fund will not engage a third-party to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Any solicitation that is done in connection with this proxy statement will be done by officers and employees of Jackson Square who will receive no extra compensation for their services. To the extent any solicitation of proxies is done, it will occur principally by mail, but proxies may also be solicited by telephone, e-mail or other electronic means, facsimile or personal interview. If instructions are recorded by telephone, the person soliciting the proxies will use procedures designed to authenticate shareholders’ identities to allow shareholders to authorize the voting of their shares in accordance with their instructions, and to confirm that a shareholder’s instructions have been properly recorded.

The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the enclosed proxy card and this proxy statement, and all other costs incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies, including any additional solicitation made by letter, telephone, facsimile or telegraph is estimated to be $[...]. The cost of solicitation will be borne by Jackson Square. [...] has also been retained as proxy tabulator.

The Fund will not bear any expenses in connection with the Transaction, including any costs of soliciting shareholder approval.

Shareholder Proposals for Subsequent Meetings

The Fund does not hold annual shareholder meetings except to the extent that such meetings may be required under the 1940 Act or state law. Shareholders who wish to submit proposals for inclusion in the proxy statement for a subsequent shareholder meeting should send their written proposals to the Trust’s Secretary at its principal office within a reasonable time before such meeting. The timely submission of a proposal does not guarantee its inclusion.

Householding

If possible, depending on shareholder registration and address information, and unless you have otherwise opted out, only one copy of this Proxy Statement will be sent to shareholders at the same address. However, each shareholder will receive separate proxy cards. If you would like to receive a separate copy of the Proxy Statement, please call [...]. If you currently receive multiple copies of Proxy Statements or shareholder reports and would like to request to receive a single copy of documents in the future, please call [...] or write to USBFS at 615 East Michigan Street, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202.

Other Matters to Come Before the Meeting

No business other than the matters described above is expected to come before the Special Meeting, but should any other matter requiring a vote of shareholders arise the persons named as proxies will vote thereon in their discretion according to their best judgment in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

Dated: [...], 2020

The Adviser is responsible for decisions to buy and sell securities for each Fund, for broker-dealer selection, and for negotiation of brokerage commission rates, provided that the Adviser shall not direct an order to an affiliated person of the Adviser without general prior authorization to use such affiliated broker or dealer from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer. The Adviser’s primary consideration in effecting a securities transaction will be to seek best execution. In selecting broker-dealers to execute transactions, the Adviser may take the following, among other things, into consideration: the best net price available; the reliability, integrity and financial condition of the broker-dealer; the size of and the difficulty in executing the order; and the value of the expected contribution of the broker-dealer to the investment performance of a Fund on a continuing basis. The execution price of a transaction may be less favorable than that available from another broker-dealer if the difference is reasonably justified by other aspects of the execution services offered.

Subject to such policies as the Board may determine and consistent with Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act, the Adviser shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this Agreement or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund to pay a broker or dealer that provides (directly or indirectly) brokerage or research services to the Adviser an amount of commission for effecting a portfolio transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the Adviser’s overall responsibilities with respect to a Fund and to other clients of the Adviser as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. Subject to the same policies and legal provisions, the Adviser is further authorized to allocate the orders placed by it on behalf of a Fund to such brokers or dealers who also provide research or statistical material, or other services to the Trust, the Adviser or any affiliate of either. Such allocation shall be in such amounts and proportions as the Adviser shall determine, and the Adviser shall report on such allocations regularly to the Trust, indicating the broker-dealers to whom such allocations have been made and the basis therefor.

On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interest of a Fund as well as of other clients, the Adviser, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, may aggregate the securities to be so purchased or sold in order to obtain the most favorable price or lower brokerage commissions and the most efficient execution. In such event, the allocation of the securities so purchased or sold, as well as the expense incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner it considers to be equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to a Fund and to such other clients.

The Trust authorizes and empowers the Adviser to open and maintain trading accounts in the name of a Fund and to execute for the Fund as its agent and attorney-in-fact standard institutional customer agreements with such broker or brokers as the Adviser shall select as provided herein. The Adviser shall cause all securities and other property purchased or sold for a Fund to be settled at the place of business of the Custodian or as the Custodian shall direct. All securities and other property of a Fund shall remain in the direct or indirect custody of the Custodian except as otherwise authorized by the Board.

The Adviser further shall have the authority to instruct the Custodian to pay cash for securities and other property delivered to the Custodian for a Fund and deliver securities and other property against payment for the Fund, and such other authority granted by the Trust from time to time. The Adviser shall not have authority to cause the Custodian to deliver securities and other property or pay cash to the Adviser except as expressly provided herein.


4.	ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES

(a)With respect to the operation of a Fund, the Adviser shall be responsible for (i) the Fund’s organizational expenses to the extent not otherwise paid or waived by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”) pursuant to any agreement or understanding between the Adviser and USBFS; (ii) providing the personnel, office space and equipment reasonably necessary to perform its obligations hereunder; (iii) the expenses of printing and distributing extra copies of the Fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information, and sales and advertising materials (but not the legal, auditing or accounting fees attendant thereto) to prospective investors (but not to existing shareholders) to the extent such expenses are not covered by any applicable plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each, a “12b-1 Plan”); (iv) the costs of the annual in-person appearance before the Board and any special Board meetings or shareholder meetings convened for the primary benefit of, and requested by, the Adviser; and (v) any legal costs of liquidating or reorganizing the Fund, as well as the costs associated with any special meeting of the Trust called for the purpose of considering or authorizing such reorganization or termination, if the liquidation or reorganization is made at the request of the Adviser (unless such cost is otherwise allocated by the Board). If the Adviser has agreed to limit the operating expenses of a Fund, the Adviser also shall be responsible on a monthly basis for any operating expenses that exceed the agreed upon expense limit, subject to the terms of such agreement.

(b)A Fund is responsible for and has assumed the obligation for payment of its expenses, other than as stated in Section 4(a) above, including but not limited to: fees and expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with the issuance, registration (and maintenance of registration) and transfer of its shares; commissions, spreads, fees and other expenses connected with the acquisition, holding, disposition of securities and other investments including placement and similar fees in connection with direct placements entered into on behalf of the Fund; all expenses of transfer, receipt, safekeeping, servicing and accounting for the cash, securities and other property of the Trust for the benefit of the Fund including all fees and expenses of its custodian, shareholder services agent and accounting services agent; all expenses incurred in connection with borrowings; dividend expenses related to short sales; costs and expenses of pricing and calculating its daily net asset value and of maintaining its books of account required under the 1940 Act; taxes, if any; its portion of expenditures in connection with meetings of the Board that are properly payable by the Fund; its allocable portion of expenditures in connection with meetings of shareholders as determined by the Board; its allocable portion of salaries and expenses of officers of the Trust other than officers and employees of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC or any duly appointed successor (the “Administrator”) (except the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer if determined to be appropriate by the Board); its allocable portion of fees and expenses of members of the Board or members of any advisory board or committee who are not members of, affiliated with or interested persons of the Adviser or the Administrator; its allocable portion of the Trust’s insurance premiums on property or personnel of the Fund which inure to its benefit, including liability and fidelity bond insurance; the cost of preparing and printing reports, proxy statements, Prospectuses of the Fund or other communications for distribution to existing shareholders; its allocable portion of the Trust’s legal, auditing and accounting fees; its allocable portion of the Trust’s trade association dues or educational program expenses determined appropriate by the Board; all expenses of maintaining and servicing shareholder accounts of the Fund maintained with the Trust’s transfer agent, including all charges for transfer, shareholder recordkeeping, distribution disbursing, redemption; and all other charges and costs of its operation plus any extraordinary and non-recurring expenses including litigation, proceedings, claims and indemnification obligations to its directors, officers, service providers and shareholders, except as herein otherwise prescribed.

(c)The Adviser may voluntarily or contractually absorb certain Fund expenses.

(d)To the extent the Adviser incurs any costs by assuming expenses which are an obligation of a Fund as set forth herein, the Fund shall promptly reimburse the Adviser for such costs and expenses, except to the extent the Adviser has otherwise agreed to bear such expenses. To the extent that the Adviser performs services for which a Fund is obligated to pay that are independent of any service obligations the Adviser has under the existing agreement with the Trust, and the Adviser has notified the Trust in advance that it will be performing such services, then the Adviser shall be entitled to recover from such Fund to the extent of the Adviser’s actual costs for providing such services. In determining the Adviser’s actual costs, the Adviser may take into account an allocated portion of the salaries and overhead of personnel performing such services.

(e)To the extent that the Adviser pays fees in addition to any Fund distribution or servicing fees to financial intermediaries, including without limitation banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, or pension administrators, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency or any other shareholder servicing or distribution services associated with shareholders whose shares are held in omnibus or other group accounts, the Adviser shall report such payments regularly to the Trust on the amounts paid and the relevant financial institutions.

(f)The fee payable to the Adviser under this Agreement with respect to a Fund may be reduced to the extent of any receivable owed by the Adviser to the Fund (provided that such obligation is not subject to a good faith dispute) or as required under any operating expense limitation agreement applicable to the Fund.


5.	INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES

(a) For all of the services rendered with respect to a Fund as herein provided, the Trust shall pay to the Adviser a fee at an annual rate based on the Current Net Assets (as defined below) of the Fund as set forth in Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Such fee shall be accrued by a Fund daily and shall be payable monthly in arrears, within fifteen business days after the last day of each month. If fees begin to accrue with respect to a Fund during the middle of a month, all fees for the period from that date to the end of the month shall be prorated according to the proportion that the period bears to the full month. In the case of termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund during any month, all fees accrued from the beginning of that month to, but excluding, the date of termination, shall be prorated according to that proportion that the period bears to the full month and shall be paid promptly following such termination. For purposes of computing the amount of advisory fee accrued for any day, “Current Net Assets” shall mean a Fund’s net assets as of the most recent preceding day for which the Fund’s net assets were computed.

(b) The Adviser voluntarily may reduce any portion of the compensation or reimbursement of expenses due to it pursuant to this Agreement and may agree to make payments to limit the expenses which are the responsibility of a Fund under this Agreement. Any such reduction or payment shall be applicable only to such specific reduction or payment and shall not constitute an agreement to reduce any future compensation or reimbursement due to the Adviser hereunder or to continue future payments. Any such reduction will be agreed to prior to accrual of the related expense or fee and will be estimated daily and reconciled and paid on a monthly basis.

(c) Any such reductions made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are a Fund’s obligation are subject to reimbursement on a monthly basis by the Fund to the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the end of the fiscal year in which such reduction or payment was accrued, if so requested by the Adviser, if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to a Fund’s payment of current ordinary operating expenses.

(d) The Adviser may agree not to require payment of any portion of the compensation or reimbursement of expenses otherwise due to it pursuant to this Agreement. Any such agreement shall be applicable only with respect to the specific items covered thereby and shall not constitute an agreement not to require payment of any future compensation or reimbursement due to the Adviser hereunder.

6. LIABILITY; STANDARD OF CARE

(a)The Adviser shall have responsibility for the accuracy and completeness (and liability for the lack thereof) of any information with respect to the Adviser, its personnel or a Fund’s strategies providing in writing to the Trust for inclusion in the Fund’s offering materials (including the Prospectus and advertising and sales materials).

(b)The Adviser shall act at all times in the best interests of each Fund and shall discharge its duties with the care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of a similar enterprise. The Adviser shall not be liable to the Trust, a Fund, or a Fund’s shareholders for any action or inaction of the Adviser relating to any event whatsoever in the absence of bad faith, willful misfeasance or gross negligence in the performance of or the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under this Agreement. Any stated limitations on liability in this Agreement shall not relieve the Adviser from any responsibility or liability that the Adviser may have under state or federal laws.

(c)In no event shall the Adviser be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control including, without limitation, acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties (other than those related to the Adviser’s employees), fire,

mechanical breakdowns, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots or failure of the mails, transportation, communication or power supply.

(d)The Adviser, its affiliates, agents and employees, shall not be liable to the Trust or a Fund for failure to act or any action taken in good faith reliance upon:

(i) The Fund’s directions to the Custodian, or brokers, dealers or others with respect to the making, retention or sale of any investment or reinvestment hereunder; or

(ii) Acts or omissions of the Custodian or a Fund, their respective affiliates, agents or employees.

(e)No party to this Agreement shall be liable to another party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.

(f) The Trust’s investments are subject to risks associated with investing in securities, including various market, currency, economic, political and business risks. The Adviser makes NO warranty, representation or guaranty as to: (i) the performance of any Fund’s investments; (ii) that the Adviser’s investment advice or strategies will be successful; (iii) that any Fund’s investment objectives will be met; or (iv) that any one or more specific individuals will be responsible for supplying the services required by this Agreement, except that the individuals who are identified as Portfolio Managers in a Fund’s prospectus shall perform the portfolio management services described in such prospectus.

(g) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement (as an “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party and the shareholders, members, directors, officers, and employees of the other party (any such person, an “Indemnified Party”) against any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating and defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of the Indemnifying Party’s performance or non-performance of any duties under this Agreement, provided, however, that indemnification shall not be paid hereunder with respect to any matter to the extent to which the loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense was caused by the Indemnified Party’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement, and provided further, however, that the Adviser shall only be required to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party to the extent the loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense of such Indemnified Party was attributable to the Adviser’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or reckless disregard of the Adviser’s obligations or duties hereunder.

(h) If indemnification is to be sought hereunder, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding in respect thereof and will keep the Indemnifying Party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may otherwise have to the Indemnified Party provided such failure shall not affect in a material adverse manner the position of the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. Following such notification, the Indemnifying Party may elect in writing to assume the defense of such action or proceeding and, upon such election, it shall not be liable for any legal costs incurred by the Indemnified Party (other than reasonable costs of investigation previously incurred) in connection therewith, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party has failed to provide counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in a timely manner or (ii) counsel which has been provided by the Indemnifying Party reasonably determines that its representation of the Indemnified Party would present it with a conflict of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to employ separate counsel at its own expense and, in such event, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense as it deems necessary. The Indemnified Party shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify it except with the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; notwithstanding this Section 6 hereof, in the event the Indemnified Party has not secured

such consent, the Indemnifying Party will have no obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party. Upon request and at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the Indemnified Party shall provide reasonable assistance to the Indemnifying Party so that the Indemnifying Party can defend against such claim, action or proceeding.

(i)The provisions of Sections 6(g) and (h) shall not apply in any action where the Indemnified Party is the party adverse, or one of the parties adverse, to the other party.


7.	TERM AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; NO ASSIGNMENT

(a)This Agreement shall become effective with respect to a Fund immediately upon the latter of approval by a majority of the Trust’s Trustees who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) and, if required by applicable law, by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund. The Agreement shall, unless terminated as hereinafter provided, continue in effect for a period of two (2) years from the date of effectiveness with respect to a Fund. This Agreement shall continue in effect thereafter for additional periods not exceeding one (1) year so long as such continuation is approved for a Fund at least annually by (i) the Board or by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement nor interested persons thereof, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The terms “majority of the outstanding voting securities” and “interested persons” shall have the meanings as set forth in the 1940 Act.

(b)This Agreement may be terminated by the Trust on behalf of a Fund at any time without payment of any penalty, by the Board, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser, and by the Adviser upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Fund. In the event of a termination, the Adviser shall cooperate in the orderly transfer of a Fund’s affairs and, at the request of the Board, transfer any and all books and records of the Fund maintained by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund.

(c)This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of any assignment thereof, as defined in the 1940 Act.

8. SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE

The services of the Adviser to a Fund are not to be deemed exclusive and it shall be free to render similar services to others so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby. It is specifically understood that directors, officers and employees of the Adviser and of its subsidiaries and affiliates may continue to engage in providing portfolio management services and advice to other investment advisory clients. The Trust agrees that Adviser may give advice and take action in the performance of its duties with respect to any of its other clients which may differ from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken with respect to a Fund. In addition, to the extent permitted by its Code of Ethics, the Adviser, its principals, affiliates, agents or employees may purchase or sell any security for their own accounts and may take a position in the same securities it recommends to, or purchases for, any Fund. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Adviser, its principals, affiliates, agents or employees to purchase or sell for any Fund any security which it or they may purchase or sell for its or their own account or for the account of any other client.

9. NO SHORTING; NO BORROWING

The Adviser agrees that neither it nor any of its officers or employees shall take any short position in the shares of the Fund. This prohibition shall not prevent the purchase of such shares by any of the officers or employees of the Adviser or any trust, pension, profit-sharing or other benefit plan for such persons or affiliates thereof, at a price not less than the net asset value thereof at the time of purchase, as allowed pursuant to rules promulgated under the 1940 Act. The Adviser agrees that neither it nor any of its officers or employees shall borrow from a Fund or pledge or use the Fund’s assets in connection with any borrowing not directly for the Fund’s benefit.

10. AMENDMENT

No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by all parties and approved by the Trust in the manner set forth in Section 7(a).

11. CONFIDENTIALITY

(a)“Confidential Information” as used in this agreement shall mean and include all tangible and intangible information and materials being disclosed in connection with this Agreement by one of the Parties (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”), in any form or medium (and without regard to whether the information is owned by a Party or by a third party), that satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

(b)Each Party shall reproduce the other Party’s Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to permit it to meet its obligations under this Agreement, and shall notify the other Party promptly if the other Party’s Confidential Information is disclosed in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or is otherwise lost or unaccounted for.
