ATAC ROTATION FUND



April 11, 2021
 
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
 
On behalf of the Toroso team, we would like to thank you for your investment in the ATAC Rotation Fund.
 
The goal of the ATAC Rotation Fund (“ATACX”/“ATCIX”) is to serve as a strategy which over time can enhance a portfolio’s overall risk and return characteristics. By utilizing a buy and rotate approach which uses historically leading indicators of volatility, our Fund places a large emphasis on risk management, seeking to rotate fully into Treasuries in advance of conditions that favor market stress.
 
For the semi-annual period ending February 28, 2021, the ATAC Rotation Fund Investor Class and Institutional Class returned 11.76% and 11.89% respectively, versus a return of 9.44% for the Lipper Flexible Portfolio Fund Index and a return of 9.74% for the S&P 500 Total Return® Index.
 
Markets continued to behave in a volatile fashion coming out of the March low, as the world looked towards the US elections and an on-going narrative around societal upheaval no matter who would win the Presidency. The weekly nature of the Fund’s risk-on, risk-off positioning resulted in a few weeks of defensive Treasury posturing, with the most notable rotation being short-duration Treasuries the week of the election itself. While the Fund missed out on the stock market’s strong gains that week, the continuous evaluation of signals resulted in a trade into small-cap ETFs November 6th despite uncertainty over who formally cinched the nomination. Subsequently, small-caps rallied.
 
Thus far in 2021, challenges and uncertainty remain, given policy actions which may be creating more fragility in the system through the issuance of more and more debt. As the country’s liabilities grow, we suspect whipsaws in signals will continue as they always have, but so too will opportunities to position defensively in advance of another stock market accident. With the pandemic still on-going, we continue to anticipate a challenging environment for traditional buy and hold investing, and we are hopeful that the Fund can continue to navigate through volatile markets ahead.
 
Over a complete market cycle, it is risk management which we believe is the most effective way to compound wealth. Compounding wealth requires positive returns and the avoidance of large losses – there is simply no other way. Importantly, one must take a longer-term view and evaluate a strategy beyond small samples, understanding the role that strategy has in one’s overall portfolio asset allocation.
 
Thank you again for your trust and confidence in our distinctive approach to portfolio management.
 
Sincerely,
 
Michael A. Gayed, CFA and Michael Venuto

Opinions expressed are those of Toroso Investments, LLC and are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because the Fund invests primarily in ETFs, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer and therefore could be considered non-diversified. If a fund invests a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer, its value may decline to a greater degree than if the fund held were a more diversified mutual fund. The Fund is expected to have a high portfolio turnover ratio which has the potential to result in the realization by the Fund and distribution to shareholders of a greater amount of capital gains. This means that investors will be likely to have a higher tax liability. Because the Fund invests in Underlying ETFs an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the Underlying ETFs, including but not limited to, risks associated with investments in ETFs, large and smaller companies, real estate investment trusts, foreign securities, non-diversification, high yield bonds, fixed income investments, derivatives, leverage, short sales and commodities. The Fund will bear its share of the fees and expenses of the Underlying ETFs. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in the Underlying ETFs.

Value of $10,000 Investment (Unaudited)



The chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000. Performance reflects waivers of fee and operating expenses in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate, and when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance current to the most recent month-end may be lower or higher than the performance quoted and can be obtained by calling 1-855-282-2386. Performance assumes the reinvestment of capital gains and income distributions. The performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

The following is expense information for the ATAC Rotation Fund (the “Fund”) as disclosed in the Fund’s most recent prospectus dated December 28, 2020: Investor Class – Gross Expenses: 2.04%, Net Expenses: 1.92%. Institutional Class – Gross Expenses: 1.82%, Net Expenses: 1.67%. Toroso Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and reimburse Fund expenses, in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain expenses such as taxes, leverage interest, interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.74% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class shares and do not exceed 1.49% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares. 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 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 May 1, 2022. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written noticed by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or the Adviser, with the consent of the Board.

Expense Example (Unaudited)
February 28, 2021

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; interest expense; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2020 – February 28, 2021).
 
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
 
For each class, the first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
 
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
 
For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the table for each class is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs may have been higher.

ATAC ROTATION FUND


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
February 28, 2021

 
1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 27, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The ATAC Rotation Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is to achieve absolute positive returns over time.  The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares, the Investor Class and the Institutional Class. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to the distribution fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class. The Investor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and servicing fee.  The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value.
 
2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
 
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund complies with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended February 28, 2021, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of and during the period ended February 28, 2021, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the fiscal year ended August 31, 2017.
 
Security Transactions, Income, and Distributions – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method.
 
The Fund distributes substantially all net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes.  These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes.  Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
 

12


ATAC ROTATION FUND


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 28, 2021

Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses – Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Investor Class shares (see Note 5). Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund.  Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
 
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
3.  SECURITIES VALUATION
 
The 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 each Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value.
 
Short-Term Investments – Investments in other mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value per share. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Exchange-Traded Funds – Exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. If, on a particular day, an ETF does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).  These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the
 

13


ATAC ROTATION FUND


Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 28, 2021

time at which the Fund determine their net asset values per share.  The Board has established a Valuation Committee to administer, implement, and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions when necessary.  The Board regularly reviews reports that describe any fair value determinations and methods.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of February 28, 2021:

4.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
The Trust has an agreement with Toroso Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. For its services, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee of 1.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $500 million, 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on the next $250 million, 1.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on the next $250 million, and 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion.
 
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and reimburse the Fund for its expenses to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding certain expenses such as taxes, leverage interest, interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.74% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class and do not exceed 1.49% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Institutional Class.
 
Fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of thirty-six months following the month during which such waiver or reimbursement was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred.  The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is indefinite in term, but cannot be terminated through at least May 1, 2022. After that date, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Board or the Adviser, with the consent of the Board.  During the period ended February 28, 2021, the Adviser was able to recoup $7,252, relating to fees waived in prior fiscal years.  Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by month of expiration are as follows:

5.  DISTRIBUTION COSTS

Leveraged ETFs are funds that rely on financial derivatives and/or debt (“leverage”) to amplify the investment return of an underlying index. The use of leverage will magnify the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of a Leveraged ETF’s portfolio. During the period ended February 28, 2021, the Fund invested in Leveraged ETFs.
 
12.  CONTROL OWNERSHIP
 
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of that fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of February 28, 2021, UBS Wealth Management held 26.1% outstanding shares of the Fund.
 
13.  COVID-19
 
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
