Re: Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”)
File Nos.: 333-172080 and 811-22525
Dear Ms. Rotter:
The purpose of this letter is to respond to the comments you provided to the Trust in connection with the SEC Staff’s Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, review of the following Funds:
| | | | | | | | |
Count | Series Name | Registrant Name |
1 | Ecofin Global Water ESG Fund | Managed Portfolio Series |
2 | Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund | Managed Portfolio Series |
1.Please explain how each Fund’s benchmark index as presented in its annual report dated November 30, 2022 has been deemed to be an appropriate broad-based securities market index for the Fund. See Form N-1A, Item 4.
Response: The Trust responds by stating that each Fund’s broad-based securities market index is the S&P 500 Index, which the Trust considers appropriate based on the instructions of Form N-1A. While the S&P 500 Index has historically been presented in the performance table of the Funds’ shareholder reports, it has not been included in the line graph presentation. For future shareholder reports, as applicable, the Funds will include the S&P 500 Index (or any replacement broad-based securities market index should it change in the future) in the line graph presentation.
2.With respect to the Ecofin Global Water ESG Fund, the response to item C.4 on Form N-CEN, filed on February 9, 2023, indicates that the Fund is diversified. However, the prospectus and annual report disclose that the Fund is non-diversified. Please explain in correspondence the reason for the differences.
Response: The Trust responds by confirming that the N-CEN response referenced in this comment was an error, and that future N-CEN filings will accurately identify the Fund’s status on diversification.

Sincerely,
MANAGED PORTFOLIO SERIES
