PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Value of $25,000 Investment (Unaudited)




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

PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Principal Street Partners, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees, and may reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding certain expenses such as Rule 12b-1 fees, taxes, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid on short sales, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, or extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.73% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. 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/or 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 Expense Limitation Agreement is indefinite, but cannot be terminated through at least February 14, 2023. 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.

PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Expense Example (Unaudited)
February 28, 2022

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, 2021 – February 28, 2022).
 
ACTUAL EXPENSES
 
For each class, the first line of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
 
For each class, the second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, 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.

PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
February 28, 2022

1.  ORGANIZATION
 
Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 27, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. Prior to October 15, 2019, the Fund was known as the Green Square High Income Municipal Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax.  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 three classes of shares for purchase. The Institutional Class commenced operations on September 15, 2017, the Investor Class commenced operations on March 23, 2020, and the A Class commenced operations on February 16, 2022. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to 12b-1 fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single share class. The Investor Class and A Class shares are subject to a 0.50% and 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and servicing fee, respectively. A Class shares may be subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 2.25%. 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, 2022, 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, 2022, 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 year ended August 31, 2019.
 
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 will declare daily and pay monthly distributions of net investment income. The Fund will also distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components
25

PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 28, 2022

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.
 
Allocation of Expenses – Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Fund are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of the Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on relative net assets. Fund 12b-1 fees are expensed at annual rate of 0.50% and 0.25% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class and A Class shares, respectively (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.
 
Illiquid Securities – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Board as reflecting fair value. The Fund will not hold more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities. At February 28, 2022, the Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $2,996,940 or 1.0% of total net assets. Information concerning illiquid securities is as follows:

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.
26

PRINCIPAL STREET HIGH INCOME MUNICIPAL FUND

Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
February 28, 2022

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.
 
Fixed Income Securities – Municipal and corporate bonds are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuer, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. Fixed income securities are categorized in the Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
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. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. There can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset values per share. The Board has established a Valuation Committee to administer, implement, and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions when necessary. The Board regularly reviews reports of the Valuation Committee that describe any fair value determinations and methods.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s securities as of February 28, 2022:

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

As of August 31, 2021, the Fund had a long-term capital loss carryover of $4,744,584. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year.  Qualified late year losses are certain capital, and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively.  For the taxable year ended August 31, 2021, the Fund did not defer any qualified late year losses.

9.  LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Fund has established an unsecured line of credit (“LOC”) in the amount of $35,000,000, 15% of gross market value of the Fund, or 33.33% of the fair value of the Fund’s investments, whichever is less. The LOC matures unless renewed on July 22, 2022. This LOC is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions and covenants in connection with shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity needs of the Fund. The LOC is with the Custodian. Interest is charged at the prime rate which was 3.25% as of, and during the period ended, February 28, 2022. The weighted average interest rate paid during the year on outstanding borrowings

10.  CONTROL OWNERSHIP
 
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of that fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of February 28, 2022, Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. and National Financial Services LLC, for the benefit of their customers, owned 34.90% and 34.37% of the outstanding shares of the Fund, respectively.
 
11.  ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.
 
12.  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.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT – Principal Street Partners, LLC
 
At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Managed Portfolio Series (“Trust”) on February 22-23, 2022, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), each of whom were present virtually via video conference, including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (“Independent Trustees”) considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Principal Street Partners, LLC (“Principal Street” or the “Adviser”) regarding the Principal Street High Income Municipal Fund (the “Fund”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) for another annual term.
 
Prior to the meeting and at a meeting held on January 11, 2022, the Trustees received and considered information from Principal Street and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Support Materials”). Before voting to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Support Materials with Trust management and with counsel to the Independent Trustees, and received a memorandum from such counsel discussing the legal standards for the Trustees’ consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations.
 
In determining whether to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following with respect to the Fund: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Principal Street with respect to the Fund; (2) the Fund’s historical performance and the performance of other investment accounts managed by Principal Street; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profits realized by Principal Street, from services rendered to the Fund; (4) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (5) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee for the Fund reflects such economies of scale for the Fund’s benefit; and (6) other benefits to Principal Street resulting from its relationship with the Fund.  In their deliberations, the Trustees weighed to varying degrees the importance of the information provided to them and did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.
 
Based upon Principal Street’s presentation and information from Principal Street and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Trust and Principal Street as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement, as it relates to the Fund, continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that Principal Street performs, the investment advisory fees that the Fund pays, and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement are summarized below.
 
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided.  The Trustees considered the scope of services that Principal Street provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to 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 the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold, or otherwise disposed of and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting all proxies, if any, with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions effected by Principal Street on behalf of the Fund;

(5) selecting broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Fund; and (6) monitoring and maintaining the Fund’s compliance with the Trust’s policies and procedures and with applicable securities laws.  The Trustees reviewed Principal Street’s audited financials, assets under management and capitalization. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that Principal Street had sufficient resources to support the management of the Fund. The Trustees noted that Principal Street manages a composite of separately managed accounts with investment objectives and investment strategies that are substantially similar to the Fund.  The Trustees also considered the experience of the portfolio managers that Principal Street utilizes in managing the Fund’s assets.  The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services that Principal Street provides to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
 
Fund Historical Performance and the Overall Performance of Principal Street. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by Principal Street, the Trustees considered the performance since the inception of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to an appropriate benchmark index and the Fund’s respective peer funds according to Morningstar classifications, and as compiled by Barrington Partners (the “Morningstar BP Cohort”). When comparing the Fund’s performance against its Morningstar BP Cohort, the Trustees took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Fund, as well as the Fund’s level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from the funds in the peer group. The Trustees noted that the Fund underperformed the Morningstar BP Cohort median and average over the year-to-date, one-year and three-year periods ended September 30, 2021.  The Trustees also noted that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index over the same periods. The Trustees considered that the Fund had achieved positive total returns since inception and in the three-month period ended December 31, 2021.
 
Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability.  The Trustees considered the management fee that the Fund pays to Principal Street under the Advisory Agreement.  They also considered Principal Street’s profitability analysis for services that Principal Street renders to the Fund.  In that regard, the Trustees noted that Principal Street waived a portion of its management fees during the 12 months ended September 30, 2021.  The Trustees noted that Principal Street manages separately managed accounts with investment strategies that are substantially similar to the Fund. The Trustees noted that the management fees charged to the separately managed accounts are equal to or greater than the management fee charged by Principal Street to the Fund. The Trustees also noted that Principal Street has contractually agreed, for a period of at least one year from the effective date of the Fund’s prospectus, to waive its management fees and reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, as specified in the Fund’s prospectus.  The Trustees determined that Principal Street’s service relationship with the Fund yielded a reasonable profit.
 
Comparative Fee and Expense Data.  The Trustees considered an analysis that the Trust’s administrator had prepared, comparing the contractual expenses that the Fund bears relative to those of funds in the same Morningstar BP Cohort. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee was above the peer group median and average. In connection with their review of the management fee, the Board considered the research-intensive nature of the Fund’s investment strategy, relative to other funds in the Morningstar BP Cohort. The Trustees also considered that when the peer group was limited to similarly-sized funds, the management fee was equal to the peer group median and higher than the average. They also noted that the total contractual expenses of the Fund’s Institutional Class and Investor Class (after management fee waivers and fund expense reimbursements) were above the Morningstar BP Cohort median and average but below the average of all funds in US Fund High Yield Muni Morningstar category. While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, the Trustees concluded that Principal Street’s advisory fee is reasonable.

Economies of Scale.  The Trustees considered whether the Fund would benefit from any economies of scale, noting that the investment advisory fee for the Fund does not contain breakpoints.  The Trustees took into account the fact that Principal Street had agreed to consider breakpoints in the future in response to asset growth in the Fund. The Trustees concluded that it is not necessary to consider the implementation of fee breakpoints at this time, but committed to revisit this issue in the future as circumstances change and Fund asset levels increase.
 
Other Benefits.  The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by Principal Street from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees noted that Principal Street does not use affiliated brokers to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions.  The Trustees considered that Principal Street 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 Principal Street does not receive additional material benefits from its relationship with the Fund.
