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 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Muhlenkamp
Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Fund
commenced operations on November 1, 1988.
The
Fund operates as a diversified open-end mutual fund that continuously offers its shares for sale to the public. The Fund manages its assets
to seek a maximum total after-tax return to its shareholders through capital appreciation, and income from dividends and interest, consistent
with reasonable risk. 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 principally invests in a diversified list of common stocks of any capitalization,
determined by Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc. (the “Adviser”) to be highly profitable, yet undervalued. The Fund may acquire
and hold fixed-income or debt investments as market conditions warrant and when, in the opinion of the Adviser, it is deemed desirable
or necessary in order to attempt to achieve its investment objective.
The
primary focus of the Fund is long-term, and the investment options are diverse. This allows for greater flexibility in the daily management
of Fund assets. However, with flexibility also comes the risk that assets will be invested in various classes of securities at the wrong
time and price.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in preparation of the accompanying financial
statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
(a)
Investment Valuations. 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.
Equity
Securities – Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, exchange-traded funds
(“ETFs”) and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange
are valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no
sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and ask prices. Securities traded primarily in the Nasdaq Global Market System for which
market quotations are readily available are valued using the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available,
such securities are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between
the bid and ask prices. 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. If the market for a particular security is not active, and the mean between bid and ask prices
is used, these securities are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Corporate
Bonds – Corporate bonds, including listed
issues, are valued at fair value 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 issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. Most corporate
and municipal bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
U.S.
Government & Agency Securities – U.S. government & agency securities are normally valued
using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers,
and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government and agency securities
are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fund
Notes
to Financial Statements(Cont’d)
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
Short-Term
Investments – Short-term 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.
Derivative
Instruments – Listed derivatives, including rights and warrants that are actively traded are valued
based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Exchange traded options that are
valued at the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded are categorized in Level 2
of the fair value hierarchy.
The
Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee
(as defined below) in calculating the Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated the Adviser
as its “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities
that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary
determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if
it is deemed that the prices obtained for brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
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.
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 assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024:

Refer
to the Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
(b)
Foreign Securities. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments
involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks
may include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies
and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S.
companies and the U.S. government.
(c)
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are recorded
on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded daily on an accrual basis. The

Fund
uses the specific identification method in computing gain or loss on the sale of investment securities. 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.
Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) may be categorized as ordinary
income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper classification of MLP distributions is generally not known until after the
end of each calendar year. The Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions for financial statement
purposes. Due to the nature of the MLP investments, a portion of the distributions received by the Fund’s shareholders may represent
a return of capital.
(d)
Federal 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 distribute 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 June 30, 2024, 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. As of and during the period
ended June 30, 2024, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. 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
June
30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest and penalties. The Fund is not subject to examination by
U.S.
tax authorities for tax years prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
(e)
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends from net investment income, if
any, are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least
annually. Income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may utilize earnings
and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction. Accordingly, reclassifications
are made within the net asset accounts for such amounts, as well as amounts related to permanent differences in the character of certain
income and expense items for income tax and financial reporting purposes. See Note 7 for additional disclosures.
(f)
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 reported period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(g)
Allocation of Expenses. 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.
(h)
Options Transactions. The Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course
of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may use purchased option contracts and written option contracts to hedge against the changes
in the value of equities or to meet its investment objectives. The Fund may write put and call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting
position in the underlying security or (ii) maintains cash or other liquid assets in an amount equal to or greater than its obligation
under the option.
When
the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities
as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently adjusted to reflect the current fair value of the option. If an option expires
on its stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written
call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased
by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium
originally received. As the writer of an option, the Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold
(call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the
written option.
The
Fund may purchase call and put options. When the Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included
in the Statement of Assets & Liabilities as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the fair value of the option. If
an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if the Fund enters into a
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fund
Notes
to Financial Statements(Cont’d)
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
closing
sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If the Fund exercises a call option, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the
premium paid for the call. If the Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and
the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities.
Written and purchased options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty risk since they are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse
guarantees the options against default.
The
Fund has adopted authoritative standards regarding disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities and how they affect the Fund’s
Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Operations. For the period ended June 30, 2024, no long options contracts were
purchased, and no written option contracts were opened. The Fund’s average monthly notional value of written option contracts for
the period ended June 30, 2024, was $0.
3.
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 an Investment Advisory Agreement
between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser charges a management fee at a 1.00% annual rate of the Fund’s average daily net assets
up to $300 million, 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on the next $200 million, and 0.90% on the balance of
the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The
Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund for its expenses
to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense,
taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.20% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense
Cap”). Prior to May 1, 2023, the Expense Cap was 1.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
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 and reimbursement occurred. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is indefinite but cannot be terminated within one year
after the effective date of the Fund’s prospectus. After that date, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon sixty days’
written notice by the Board or the Adviser. Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by month of expiration are

U.S.
Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, acts as the Fund’s
Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Fund Accountant. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the Custodian to the Fund.
The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting services for the
Fund. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and
materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Custodian; coordinates the payment of the Fund’s expenses
and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer, are employees of the
Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average
daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. Fees paid by the Fund for administration, transfer agency and accounting costs,
custody and chief compliance officer services for the period ended June 30, 2024, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

Line of Credit
The
Fund has established an unsecured Line of Credit (“LOC”) in the amount of $10,000,000, 5% of the Fund’s gross market
value or 33.33% of the unencumbered assets of the Fund, whichever is less. The LOC matures on July 19, 2024. This LOC is intended to provide

Months Ended June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)
The
Fund plans to distribute substantially all of the net investment income and net realized gains that it has realized on the sale of securities.
These income and gains distributions will generally be paid once each year, on or before December 31. The character of distributions
made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes
due to differences in the recognition of income, expense or gain items for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.
The
tax character of distributions paid were as follows:

Expense Reductions
Expenses
were reduced for fiscal years ending 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023 through the deposit of minimum account maintenance fees into the
Fund. By November 30th of each year, all accounts must meet one of three criteria: 1) have net investments (purchases less redemptions)
totaling $1,500 or more, 2) have an account value greater than $1,500, or 3) be enrolled in the Fund’s Automatic Investment Plan.
Accounts that do not meet one of these three criteria are charged a $15 minimum account maintenance fee. This fee was used to lower the
Fund’s expense ratio.
9.
Guarantees and INDEMNIFICATIONS
In
the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The
Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet
occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

APPROVAL
OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
– Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc.
At
the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Managed Portfolio Series (“Trust”) on February 21-22, 2024, the
Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), 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 Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc. (“Muhlenkamp”
or the “Adviser”) regarding the Muhlenkamp Fund (the “Fund”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”)
for another annual term.
Prior
to the meeting and at a meeting held on January 4, 2024, the Trustees received and considered information requested from Muhlenkamp
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
and advice 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 Muhlenkamp with respect to the
Fund; (2) the Fund’s historical performance and the performance of other investment accounts managed by Muhlenkamp; (3) the costs
of the services provided by Muhlenkamp and the profits realized by Muhlenkamp 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 Muhlenkamp 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 the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, including a presentation to the Board by representatives
of Muhlenkamp, and the Support Materials, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Trust and Muhlenkamp set forth
in the Investment Advisory Agreement continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that Muhlenkamp performs, the investment
advisory fees 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 Muhlenkamp
provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement, 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 that Muhlenkamp effects 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 also considered the experience of Mr. Jeffrey
Muhlenkamp, the Fund’s portfolio manager, and reviewed Muhlenkamp’s financial statements, capitalization and assets under
management, concluding that Muhlenkamp has sufficient resources to service the Fund. The Trustees concluded that they are satisfied with
the nature, extent and quality of services that Muhlenkamp provides to the Fund under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Fund
Historical Performance and the Overall Performance of Muhlenkamp. In assessing the quality of the portfolio
management delivered by Muhlenkamp, the Trustees reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis
and in comparison to an appropriate benchmark index, the Fund’s Morningstar category (“Category”) as well as a smaller
sub-set of peer funds (“Cohort”), and the composite of separate accounts

– Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc.(Cont’d)
that
Muhlenkamp manages utilizing a similar investment strategy as that of the Fund. When reviewing the Fund’s performance against the
Category and 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 funds in the Category and Cohort.
The
Trustees noted the Fund had outperformed both the Category and Cohort averages for the year-to-date, three-year and five-year periods
ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed for the one-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2023. The Trustees
considered the Fund’s performance compared to its benchmark, noting that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the three-year
and five-year periods ended September 30, 2023, but underperformed this index for all other periods presented. The Trustees concluded
their performance analysis by noting the generally comparable performance of the Fund and the composite of similar accounts managed by
Muhlenkamp over most relevant periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance included performance of a predecessor fund
that was reorganized into to the Fund.
Cost
of Advisory Services and Profitability. The Trustees considered the annual advisory fee that the Fund
pays to Muhlenkamp under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as Muhlenkamp’s profitability from services that Muhlenkamp
rendered to the Fund during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Trustees also noted favorably that Muhlenkamp had agreed
to continue the expense limitation agreement under which Muhlenkamp contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees and, if necessary,
reimburse the Fund for operating expenses, as specified in the Fund’s prospectus, and noted that Muhlenkamp had waived a portion
of its fees during the most recent fiscal year. The Trustees further considered the fees that Muhlenkamp charges to separately managed
accounts with similar investment strategies as that of the Fund are less than or equal to the advisory fee that the Fund pays to Muhlenkamp,
depending on the asset size of the separately managed account, noting that Muhlenkamp has additional responsibilities with respect to
the Fund, which requires more time and effort versus a separately managed account. The Trustees considered the reasonableness of Muhlenkamp’s
profits from its service relationship with the Fund.
Comparative
Fee and Expense Data. The Trustees considered a comparative analysis of the expenses borne by the Fund
and those of funds in the same Category and Cohort as of September 30, 2023. The Trustees noted the Fund’s advisory fee and
total expenses (after waivers and expense reimbursements) were each higher than the Category and Cohort averages. 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 Muhlenkamp’s advisory fee continues to be reasonable.
Economies
of Scale. The Trustees considered whether the Fund may benefit from any economies of scale, noting that
the Investment Advisory Agreement includes breakpoints in the management fee. The Trustees determined that the breakpoint structure of
the Fund’s investment advisory fee had the potential to share such economies of scale with Fund shareholders.
Other
Benefits. The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by the Adviser
from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees noted Muhlenkamp does not utilize soft dollar arrangements with respect to portfolio
transactions and has no affiliated brokers to execute the Fund’s portfolio transactions. The Trustees considered that Muhlenkamp
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 Muhlenkamp does not receive additional material benefits from its relationship with the Fund.

BROKER COMMISSIONS
For
the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund paid $8,807 in broker commissions. These commissions are included in the cost basis of investments
purchased and deducted from the proceeds of securities sold. This accounting method is the industry standard for mutual funds. Were these
commissions itemized as expenses, they would equal less than 1/2 cent per Fund share and would have increased the net expense ratio from
1.20% to 1.21%.
