Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
June 30, 2019
The twelve months ended June 30, 2019 were a roller coaster ride for U.S. equities in general, including small cap growth stocks. During July through September of 2018, small cap growth stocks ground higher on strong corporate profits, driven in part by a lower tax rate, capping an impressive, consistently upward 2.5 year run for the stocks.
By late September, however, the positive impact of tax reform began to fade, and unusually high economic expectations by investors began to revert to a state of "normal uncertainty." At the same time, the trade conflict with China began to heat up, and perhaps most painfully, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell began to take a very hawkish – and even tone-deaf – stance toward raising interest rates. The confluence of these events led to a painful fourth quarter 2018 for U.S. equities, and the Russell 2000¨ Growth Index fell 21.66% for the quarter, the worst quarter since 2011. To put that decline into context, in the prior 20 years there were only five other quarters in which the index was down at least 20%.
With politicians and central bankers somewhat chastened by this sell-off, by early January 2019, Chairman Powell had flipped to a dovish stance, indicating a willingness to be "flexible and wait and see what does evolve." That stance has evolved even more dovishly to the present, with the Federal Reserve currently seeming to signal an imminent rate cut. With this more favorable interest rate backdrop, as well as trade tensions that have waxed and waned, stocks bounced back sharply in the first quarter of 2019, and continued their climb in the second quarter.
Despite the dramatic sound and fury of the price action over the past twelve months, the Russell 2000¨ Growth Index ended down -0.49% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. The Hood River Small Cap Growth Fund Institutional Share Class outperformed the benchmark by 5.01%, with a 4.52% absolute return.

Performance quoted represents past performance for the Fund’s institutional class shares and there is no guarantee of future results. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted above. Please call 800-497-2960 to obtain current and the most recent month-end performance data. The gross expense ratio is 1.18%.
Given our bottom-up process, historically the vast majority of our outperformance has come from stock selection, and this persisted in the past fiscal year. For the trailing twelve months, strong bottom-up stock selection in information technology (+240 basis points), health care (+193 basis points), and real estate (+106 basis points) contributed the most to the Fund’s performance. The top contributing stocks included Globant,

Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
Innovative Industrial Properties, CyberArk Software, Kinsale Capital Group, and Eldorado Resorts. At the end of the fiscal year, the Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund owned each of these stocks with the exception of CyberArk Software.
Innovative Industrial Properties owns and leases industrial real estate assets, primarily to tenants in the regulated medical-use cannabis industry. It typically locks customers up with 10 to15 year lease arrangements yielding between 11 and 14%. With funds from operations growth of over 100% in 2019, it is growing faster than other REITs and we believe that the current street asset purchase and cash flow estimates for 2020 appear too conservative. Kinsale Capital is an excess and surplus insurer we have owned since its initial public offering in 2016. The CEO, Michael Kehoe, left a competitor, James River, to create one of the lowest cost, quickest responding, underwriting platforms in the industry. We believe the street’s premium and profitability estimates are still too conservative, thus we maintain a large position. We also continue to like Eldorado Resorts, where we expect ongoing strength in its core regional gaming business, and also expect there may be substantial opportunities for cost savings associated with its recently proposed merger with Caesar’s.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, stock selection in energy (-74 basis points), consumer staples (-56 basis points), and materials (-51 basis points) detracted from results. Underperformers included Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Carrizo Oil & Gas, Amyris, GreenSky, and U.S. Well Services. As of June 30, 2019, each of these securities were sold out of the Fund with the exception of U.S. Well Services.
We exited our Ligand position at a loss after it sold a royalty stream for $827 million in cash, which we viewed as a fair price, but we grew concerned that the cash burning a hole in management’s pocket might lead to them overpaying for an acquisition of a public company. Amyris produces and distributes various chemical products. We were excited about its new sweetener product, but one of its partners unexpectedly delayed a milestone payment, which caused a funding problem for the company and led us to sell our stake. GreenSky has a leading point-of-sales technology lending platform, primarily for home improvement. Unfortunately, analyst estimates moved down in the second half of 2018 due to lowering customer take rates and less promotional marketing from bank partners. We exited the position.
During the course of the year, our investment team continued to faithfully implement the strategy we have been using since the Fund’s inception: we look for small-cap companies that our research indicates to have strong growth characteristics or to be undervalued in the marketplace relative to underlying profitability. We call the difference between our fundamental analysis and the market’s expectations an "information gap," and we spend the bulk of our time conducting research to uncover the most promising stocks. The most important part of our research is the conversations we have with numerous management teams, as well as their customers, competitors, and suppliers, to assemble a more complete picture of the business environment in which a firm operates. We continue to invest in and grow our investment team, which currently stands at seven members.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

The above comments reflect general views regarding the market and the economy, were current as of the date of this letter, and are subject to change at any time.
Returns represent past performance and include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. The primary benchmark is the Russell 2000¨ Growth Index, defined as an unmanaged, capitalization weighted index of those Russell 2000¨ companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Index returns include dividends and/or interest income and, unlike composite returns, do not reflect fees or expenses. In addition, unlike the composite, which periodically maintains a significant cash position, the indices are fully invested. Basis points refers to a common unit of measure for interest rates and other percentages in finance. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1%, or 0.01%, or 0.0001, and is used to denote the percentage change in a financial instrument. Cash flow is defined as the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business. Past performance does not guarantee future results. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available by calling (800) 497-2960.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in small-cap securities, which present a greater risk of loss than large-cap securities, and in growth companies, which can be more sensitive to the company’s earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which are subject to risks including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards. The Fund may invest in derivatives and IPOs, which are highly volatile. Additional risk information may be found in the prospectus.
Fund holdings and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of holdings, see the Schedule of Investments on page 8.

Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
June 30, 2019 |
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"), and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. The Fund is an open-end investment management company and is a diversified series of the Trust. 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. The Fund’s Retirement Shares commenced operations on March 3, 2017. Each class of shares differs principally in its respective distribution or shareholder servicing 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"). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies" including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.
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 continue 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 |
23

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
June 30, 2019 |
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 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 the 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. | 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. | |
F. | Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2019, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and has concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary. | |
G. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements: In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement ("ASU 2018-13"). The primary focus of ASU 2018-13 is to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The changes affect all companies that |
24
Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
June 30, 2019 |
are required to include fair value measurement disclosures. In general, the amendments in ASU 2018-13 are effective for all entities for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt the removed or modified disclosures upon the issuance of ASU 2018-13 and may delay adoption of the additional disclosures, which are required for public companies only, until their effective date. Management has evaluated the impact of this change in guidance, and due to the permissibility of early adoption, modified the Fund’s fair value disclosures for the current reporting period. | ||
In August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification, which in part amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements of Regulation S-X that have become redundant, duplicative, overlapping, outdated, or superseded, in light of other Commission disclosure requirements, U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or changes in the information environment. The amendments are intended to facilitate the disclosure of information to investors and simplify compliance without significantly altering the total mix of information provided to investors. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) were amended to require presentation of the total, rather than the components of net assets, of distributable earnings on the balance sheet. Consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) omit the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid as well as omit the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of undistributed net investment income. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The requirements of the Final Rule Release were effective November 5, 2018 and the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and the Statements of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. |
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. |
25
Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
June 30, 2019 |
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 that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. 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.
Registered Investment Companies: Investments in registered investment companies (e.g., mutual funds) are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the applicable registered investment company’s service agent and will be classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-Term Debt Securities: Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved pricing service. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. In the absence of prices from a pricing service, the securities will be priced in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Short-term securities are generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair market hierarchy depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.
The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which, as of June 30, 2019, was comprised of officers of the Trust. The function of
26
Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
June 30, 2019 |
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 June 30, 2019:

Certain officers of the Fund are employees of the Administrator and are not paid any fees by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
NOTE 5 – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan"). The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Shares.

NOTE 9 – SECURITIES LENDING
The Fund participates in securities lending arrangements whereby it lends certain of its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (not with individuals) in order to receive additional income and increase the rate of return of its portfolio. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Fund’s securities lending agent.
U.S. Bank, N.A. oversees the securities lending process, which includes the screening, selection and ongoing review of borrowers, monitoring the availability of securities, negotiating rebates, daily marking to market of loans, monitoring and maintaining cash collateral levels, processing securities movements and reinvesting cash collateral as directed by the Adviser.
The Fund may lend securities pursuant to agreements that require the loans to be secured by collateral consisting of cash, securities of the U.S. Government or it agencies, or any combination of cash and such securities. At that time of loans, the collateral value should at least be equal to 102% of domestic securities and 105% of foreign securities. The value of loaned securities will then be marked-to-market daily and the collateral will be continuously secured by collateral equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Such loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate amount of all outstanding securities loans for the Fund exceeds one-third of the value of the Fund’s total assets taken at fair market value. The Fund will earn interest on the investment of the cash collateral in U.S. Government securities, short-term money market instruments or such other approved vehicle. However, the Fund will normally pay lending fees to such broker-dealers and related expenses from the interest earned on invested collateral. There may be risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities and even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans are made only to borrowers deemed by the adviser to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the adviser, the consideration that can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risk. Either party, upon reasonable notice to the other party, may terminate the loan.
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Fund paid no securities lending fees to U.S. Bank, N.A. during the period. The market value of the loaned securities is determined each day at the close of business of the Fund and any change in the amount of collateral is delivered to or paid by the Fund the next day. The collateral value does not include the calculated mark, which is the amount charged/returned to the borrower daily to maintain 102%/105% of market value. There is a day lag in receiving the mark and at times the collateral percentage may be above or below 102%/105%.

NOTE 10 – 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-Cap 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-Style 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.
32
Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
June 30, 2019 |
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.
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.
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 Exchange Traded Funds ("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.
NOTE 11 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
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.

To the Board of Trustees of Manager Directed Portfolios
and the Shareholders of Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in Manager Directed Portfolios (the "Fund"), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2019, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the years and periods shown in the table below, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the years and periods shown in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Financial Highlights | |
Investor Shares | For each of the years in the three-year period ended June 30, 2019 and for the period from July 7, 2015 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2016 |
Institutional Shares | For each of the years in the five-year period then ended |
Retirement Shares | For each of the years in the two-year period then ended and for the period from March 3, 2017 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2017 |
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
34
Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
(Continued) |
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE |
June 30, 2019 (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 January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019 for the Investor, Institutional, and Retirement Shares.
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.

This report is intended for shareholders of the Fund and may not be used as sales literature unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
Past performance results shown in this report should not be considered a representation of future performance. Share price and returns will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Statements and other information herein are dated and are subject to change.
Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any substantive amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.
A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Experts.
The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there are at least two audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee. Messrs. Gaylord B. Lyman and Scott C. Jones are the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N‑CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
FYE 6/30/2019 | FYE 6/30/2018 | |
Audit Fees | $12,000 | $10,000 |
Audit-Related Fees | N/A | N/A |
Tax Fees | $3,000 | $3,000 |
All Other Fees | N/A | N/A |
Pursuant to its charter, the Trust’s Audit Committee must review and approve in advance the engagement of the independent accountants, including each audit and non-audit service permitted by appropriate rules or regulations provided to the Trust and each non-audit service provided to the Trust’s investment advisers and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment advisers that provides ongoing services to the Trust relating to the operations and financial reporting of the Trust. The Committee may delegate the authority to grant such pre-approval to one or more Committee members who are independent Trustees within the meaning of Section 10A(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that the decision of such member(s) is presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Committee may approve each audit and non-audit service on a case-by-case basis, and/or adopt pre-approval policies and procedures that are detailed as to a particular service, provided that the Committee is informed of each service in a timely manner and the policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Committee’s responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to management. The foregoing pre-approval requirement with respect to the provision of non-audit services to the Trust may be waived if (i) the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to the Trust constitutes not more than 5 percent of the total amount of revenues paid by the Trust to its independent accountants during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; (ii) such services were not recognized by the Trust at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the Committee or by one or more members of the Committee to whom authority to grant such approvals has been delegated by the Committee.
The percentage of fees billed by BBD, LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
FYE 6/30/2019 | FYE 6/30/2018 | |
Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
