How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
The Fund returned 30.81% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 vs. 27.14% for the S&P 500® Index. The Fund’s investments rotate between U.S. Treasuries and small-caps/large-caps/emerging markets depending on the potential for near-term volatility. During the reporting period, the financial markets were affected by both Fed monetary policy expectations and the view that inflation rates were normalizing. Returns for stocks and bonds were mixed and the positive correlation within these two asset classes presented some challenges for risk management.
What Factors Influenced Performance
To be effective, risk rotation strategies need the appropriate expression of risk-off behavior (Treasuries) to maximize the opportunity for outperformance. In many cases, Treasuries underperformed as stocks underperformed and that prevented some risk mitigation that the Fund is designed to provide. Leveraged exposure to equities in risk-on environments where market gains broadened out proved particularly advantageous.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?
The Fund returned 31.11% for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2024 vs. 27.14% for the S&P 500® Index. The Fund’s investments rotate between U.S. Treasuries and small-caps/large-caps/emerging markets depending on the potential for near-term volatility. During the reporting period, the financial markets were affected by both Fed monetary policy expectations and the view that inflation rates were normalizing. Returns for stocks and bonds were mixed and the positive correlation within these two asset classes presented some challenges for risk management.
What Factors Influenced Performance
To be effective, risk rotation strategies need the appropriate expression of risk-off behavior (Treasuries) to maximize the opportunity for outperformance. In many cases, Treasuries underperformed as stocks underperformed and that prevented some risk mitigation that the Fund is designed to provide. Leveraged exposure to equities in risk-on environments where market gains broadened out proved particularly advantageous.

ATAC ROTATION FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2024
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 year ended August 31, 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. 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 year ended August 31, 2024, 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, 2021.
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 and expense 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.
As of August 31, 2024, no such reclassifications were made.
ATAC ROTATION FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2024 (Continued)
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
ATAC ROTATION FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2024 (Continued)
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 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 Tidal Investments LLC (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 from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
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 August 31, 2024:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Exchange-Traded Funds | | $ | 56,116,952 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 56,116,952 | |

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further information on the classification of investments.
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. 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) based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund not exceeding an annual rate of 1.74% and 1.49% of the Investor Class and Institutional Class, respectively.
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 December 29, 2024. 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. Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by month of expiration are as follows:
Expiration | Amount |
September 2024 – August 2025 | $195,953 |
September 2025 – August 2026 | 260,718 |
September 2026 – August 2027 | 267,896 |
ATAC ROTATION FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
August 31, 2024 (Continued)
During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Fund had a trade error. The error was caused by the Adviser purchasing an incorrect number of shares on a security purchase, which the Fund corrected upon realization of the error. The security had appreciated since the error. This resulted in a lost opportunity to the Fund of $505,198, which was subsequently reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser.
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 and accounting, transfer agency, custody and compliance services for the year ended August 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.
5. DISTRIBUTION COSTS
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) in the Investor Class only. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Investor Class’ average daily net assets. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation of personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. For the year ended August 31, 2024, the Fund’s Investor Class incurred $42,295 for expenses pursuant to the Plan.

8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

| Appreciation | Depreciation | Depreciation | Tax Cost | |
| $15,813 | $(39,353) | $(23,540) | $56,973,066 | |
Any difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) would be attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and a net operating loss reclass.

| Undistributed | | Other | Total | |
| Ordinary | Net | Accumulated | Accumulated | |
| Income | Depreciation | Loss | Loss | |

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. The Fund deferred no post-October losses. The Fund did not defer any qualified late year losses.
The Fund did not pay a distribution for the years ended August 31, 2024 and August 31, 2023.

The Fund also had a secured line of credit with Huntington National Bank for investment purposes with a maximum amount of $30,000,000 or 20% of the market value of the Fund’s collateral, whichever is less.

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 August 31, 2024, UBS Wealth Management, for the benefit of its customers, held 36.6% of the Fund.
