NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
at December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund (formerly, the Roxbury/Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund) (the “Small-Cap Growth Fund” or the “Fund”) is a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (formerly, The Roxbury Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end investment management company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. The Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on January 2, 2003. The Fund’s Investor Shares commenced operations on July 7, 2015. Each class of shares differs principally in its respective distribution expenses. Each class of shares has identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class-specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
| A. | Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3. |
| B. | Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required. |
| | The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The tax returns for the Fund for the prior three fiscal years are open for examination. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware. |
| C. | Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| | The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
at December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
| | book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment. |
| | Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of the Fund’s shares based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. |
| | The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust proportionately based on allocation methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means. |
| D. | 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| E. | Redemption Fees: Each share class of the Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund charges a 1% redemption fee to most shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. |
| F. | Mutual Fund and ETF Trading Risk: The Fund may invest in other mutual funds that are either open-end or closed-end investment companies as well as ETFs. ETFs are investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade at the net asset values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF could potentially trade above or below the value of the underlying portfolios. Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject to trading and commission costs unlike mutual funds. Also, both mutual funds and ETFs have management fees that are part of its costs, and the Fund will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the costs. |
| G. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts: GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the most recent fiscal year end, the Fund made the following permanent tax adjustments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities: |

NOTE 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. |
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.
Equity Securities: Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, foreign-issued common stocks, exchange-traded funds, closed-end mutual funds and real estate investment trusts (REITs), that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be 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 asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be 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 asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the mean between the bid and asked 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.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
at December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share and will be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which, as of December 31, 2016, was comprised of representatives from U.S.Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s administrator. The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available, or the closing price does not represent fair value, by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 fair valuation hierarchy of the Small-Cap Growth Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2016:

Refer to the Fund’s schedule of investments for a detailed break-out of securities by industry classification. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period. During the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Fund recognized no transfers between levels. There was one level 3 security held in the Fund on December 31, 2016.

DYAX was acquired by Shire and the Fund received in exchange for each DYAX share a payment in cash, as well as a contingent value right (CVR). With no observable market price for the CVR, there is no objective ongoing source of valuation data for this instrument. Accordingly, the security is valued at zero and categorized as level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. |
The Level 3 investments as of December 31, 2016, represented 0.00% of net assets and did not warrant a disclosure of significant unobservable inputs.

NOTE 8 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
The following is a list of certain risks that may apply to your investment in the Fund. Further information about investment risks is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Market Risk: The risk that the market value of a security may go up or down in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.
Small Company Risk: Companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small-cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may be dependent on relatively small or inexperienced management groups, and may operate in industries characterized by rapid technological obsolescence. Securities of such companies may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to value than securities of larger companies and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in large companies.
Growth Investing Risk: An investment in a growth-oriented fund may be more volatile than the rest of the U.S. market as a whole. If the investment adviser’s assessment of a company’s prospects for earnings growth or how other investors will value the company’s earnings growth is incorrect, the stock may fail to reach the value that the adviser has placed on it. Growth stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market.
Foreign Security Risk: Foreign investments involve risks relating to political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or diplomatic developments and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interest of U.S. investors.
IPO Risk: The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). The price of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The Fund’s investments in IPO shares may include the securities of “unseasoned” companies (companies with less than three years of continuous operations), which present risks considerably greater than common stocks of more established companies. These companies may be involved in new and evolving businesses and may be vulnerable to competition and changes in technology, markets and economic conditions. They may be more dependent on key managers and third parties and may have limited product lines.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
at December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
The effect of IPO investments on a Fund’s performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of IPOs the Fund invests in relative to the size of the Fund, and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. When the Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s asset grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
Liquidity Risk: Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. While the markets in securities of small companies have grown rapidly in recent years, such securities may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than more widely held securities. The values of these securities may fluctuate more sharply than those of other securities, and the Fund may experience some difficulty in establishing or closing out positions in these securities at prevailing market prices. There may be less publicly available information about the issuers of these securities or less market interest in such securities than in the case of larger companies, and it may take a longer period of time for the prices of such securities to reflect the full value of their issuers’ underlying earnings potential or assets.
NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 10 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On February 6, 2017 the Board of the Trust approved the reduction of the Fund’s management fee from 1.00% to 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund, to be effective March 1, 2017. On February 6, 2017 the Board also adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan on behalf of the Fund’s Institutional Shares and Investor Shares, to be effective March 1, 2017, that allows the Fund to make payments to financial intermediaries and other service providers for Institutional Shares and Investor Shares shareholders in return for shareholder servicing and maintenance of Institutional Shares and Investor Shares shareholder accounts. These shareholder servicing and maintenance fees may not exceed 0.10% per year of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Institutional Shares and Investor Shares, respectively and may not be used to pay for any services in connection with the distribution and sale of Institutional Shares or Investor Shares. Also effective March 1, 2017, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fees and reimburse certain expenses for the Fund to limit the total annual fund operating expenses (excluding taxes, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions, interest and acquired fund fees and expenses
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
at December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
(collectively, “Excludable Expenses”)) to 0.99%. To the extent the Fund or a share class of the Fund incurs Excludable Expenses, the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may be greater than 0.99%. The waivers and reimbursements will remain in effect through December 31, 2020 unless terminated sooner by mutual agreement of the Board and Hood River. Effective March 1, 2017, Retirement Shares have been established as a new share class of the Fund.
NOTE 11 – OTHER INFORMATION
The name of the Trust has been changed to Manager Directed Portfolios effective July 1, 2016. The Board has approved the retention of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), U.S. Bank N.A. (“U.S. Bank”), Quasar Distributors LLC (“Quasar”) and Vigilant Compliance, LLC (“Vigilant”) as new service providers to the Trust. The new service agreements became effective on July 1, 2016. The Administration Agreement with Roxbury was terminated on June 30, 2016. The prior service agreements with BNY Mellon were terminated on June 30, 2016. In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2016, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and had concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary other than those mentioned above.
EXPENSE EXAMPLE |
December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees); 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 indicated and held for the entire period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading "Actual" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $15 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. The example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and 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. As noted above, there are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts that would increase the amount of expense paid on your account.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund (formerly, the Roxbury/Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund) (the “Strategic Growth Fund” or the “Fund”) is a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (formerly, The Roxbury Funds) (the “Trust”). The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end investment management company and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. The Fund commenced operations on November 1, 2011, and offers Institutional Shares.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
| A. | Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3. |
| B. | Federal Income Taxes: It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required. |
| | The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions to be taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The tax returns for the Fund for the prior three fiscal years are open for examination. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware. |
| C. | Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions: Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. |
| | The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
| | gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment. |
| | Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of the Fund’s shares based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. |
| | The Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to it, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust proportionately based on allocation methods approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund’s respective net assets, or by other equitable means. |
| D. | 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| E. | Redemption Fees: The Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund charges a 0.75% redemption fee to most shareholders who redeem shares held for 60 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Fund and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital. |
| F. | Mutual Fund and ETF Trading Risk: The Fund may invest in other mutual funds that are either open-end or closed-end investment companies as well as ETFs. ETFs are investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade at the net asset values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF could potentially trade above or below the value of the underlying portfolios. Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject to trading and commission costs unlike mutual funds. Also, both mutual funds and ETFs have management fees that are part of their costs, and the Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the costs. |
| G. | Reclassification of Capital Accounts: GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the most recent fiscal year end, the Fund made the following permanent tax adjustments on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities: |
| | Accumulated | Accumulated | |
| | Net Investment | Net Realized | Capital |
| | Income/(Loss) | Gain/(Loss) | Stock |
| Strategic Growth Fund | $(10) | $10 | $ — |

NOTE 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. |
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.
Equity Securities: Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, foreign-issued common stocks, exchange-traded funds, closed-end mutual funds and real estate investment trusts (REITs), that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be 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 asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be 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 asked prices. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the mean between the bid and asked 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.
Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share and will be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Exchange-Traded Notes: Investments in exchange-traded notes are actively traded on a national securities exchange and are valued based on the last sales price from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of Manager Directed Portfolios which is comprised of representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s administrator. The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available, or the closing price does not represent fair value, by following procedures approved by the Board. These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume, and news events. All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
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 fair valuation hierarchy of the Strategic Growth Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2016:

NOTE 7 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
The following is a list of certain risks that may apply to your investment in the Fund. Further information about investment risks is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.
Market Risk: The risk that the market value of a security may go up or down in response to many factors including the historical and prospective earnings of the issuer, the value of its assets, general economic conditions, interest rates, investor perceptions and market liquidity. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.
Growth Investing Risk: The risk that an investment in a growth-oriented fund may be more volatile than the rest of the U.S. market as a whole. If the investment adviser’s assessment of a company’s prospects for earnings growth or how other investors will value the company’s earnings growth is incorrect, the process of the stock may fail to reach the value that the adviser has placed on it. Growth stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market.
Foreign Security Risk: Foreign investments involve risks relating to political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or diplomatic developments and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interest of U.S. investors.
IPO Risk: The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). The price of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The Fund’s investments in IPO shares may include the securities of “unseasoned” companies (companies with less than three years of continuous operations), which present risks considerably greater than common stocks of more established companies. These companies may be involved in new and evolving businesses and may be vulnerable to competition and changes in technology, markets and economic conditions. They may be more dependent on key managers and third parties and may have limited product lines. The effect of IPO investments on a Fund’s performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of IPOs the Fund invests in relative to the size of the Fund, and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. When the Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s asset grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
NOTE 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The name of the Trust has been changed to Manager Directed Portfolios effective July 1, 2016. The Board has approved the retention of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), U.S. Bank N.A. (“U.S. Bank”), Quasar Distributors LLC (“Quasar”) and Vigilant Compliance, LLC (“Vigilant”) as new service providers to the Trust. The new service agreements became effective on July 1, 2016. The Administration Agreement with Roxbury was terminated on June 30, 2016. The prior service agreements with BNY Mellon were terminated on June 30, 2016. In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2016, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and had concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary other than those mentioned above.
EXPENSE EXAMPLE |
December 31, 2016 (Unaudited) |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees); 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 indicated and held for the entire period from July 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016.
Actual Expenses
The information in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns 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 row entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $15 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. The example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and 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. As noted above, there are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts that would increase the amount of expense paid on your account.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the information under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid |
| Account Value | Account Value | During Period(1) |
| 7/1/2016 | 12/31/2016 | 7/1/2016 – 12/31/2016 |
Actual | | | |
Institutional Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,014.00 | $4.57 |
| | | |
Hypothetical (5% return | | | |
before expenses) | | | |
Institutional Shares | $1,000.00 | $1,020.67 | $4.58 |
(1) | Expenses are equal to the Institutional Shares’ annualized expense ratio of 0.90%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the period). |
