NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Manager Directed Portfolios Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company consisting of multiple series, and was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on April 4, 2006. These financial statements include the Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund and the Hood River International Opportunity Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are both open-end investment management companies that are a diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the Funds is long-term growth of capital. The Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on January 2, 2003. The Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund’s Investor Shares commenced operations on July 7, 2015. The Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund’s Retirement Shares commenced operations on March 3, 2017. The Hood River International Opportunity Fund’s Institutional Shares commenced operations on September 28, 2021. The Hood River International Opportunity Fund’s Retirement Shares commenced operations on December 22, 2021. While both funds follow different fundamental investing strategies, 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 Funds. These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Each 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 each 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 Funds recognize 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 Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded |
29

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |

related to uncertain tax positions to be taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The tax returns for the Funds for the prior three fiscal years are open for examination. The Funds identify their 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 Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. | |
The Funds distribute substantially all of their 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 Funds’ 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 Funds are 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 Funds 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. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
F. | Foreign Currency: Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations resulting from changes in the market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain/loss on investments. Foreign investments present additional risks due to currency fluctuations, economic and political factors, lower liquidity, government regulations, differences in accounting standards, and other factors. | |
G. | Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End: In preparing the financial statements as of December 31, 2022, 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. |
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
The Funds have 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 Funds’ 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
31

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |

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.
In the absence of prices from a pricing service or in the event that market quotations are not readily available, fair value will be determined under the Fund’s valuation procedures adopted pursuant to Rule 2a-5. Pursuant to those procedures, the Board has appointed the Advisor as the Fund’s valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”) to perform all fair valuations of the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Advisor has established procedures for its fair valuation of the Fund’s portfolio investments. These procedures address, among other things, determining when market quotations are not readily available or reliable and the methodologies to be used for determining the fair value of investments, as well as the use and oversight of third-party pricing services for fair valuation.
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 Funds’ securities as of December 31, 2022:

agreement with Genstar Capital (“Genstar”) such that Genstar would acquire a majority stake in Foreside. The transaction closed at the end of the third quarter of 2021. Quasar will remain the Fund’s distributor.
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 Small-Cap Growth and International Opportunity Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the Funds to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Shares. The expenses covered by the Plan may include costs in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the Small-Cap Growth Fund incurred distribution expenses on its Investor Shares of $47,935. For the six months ended December 31, 2022, the investor shares of the International Opportunity Fund have not yet commenced operations.
NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE
The Funds have adopted a shareholder servicing plan (the “Plan”) on behalf of the Small-Cap Growth Funds’ Investor and Institutional Share Classes and the International Opportunity Fund’s Institutional Share Class. Under the Plan, the Investor and Institutional Share Classes for each Fund are authorized to pay an annual shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10% of each class’s average daily net assets. This fee is used to finance certain activities related to servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts. Payments made under the Plan may not be used to pay for any services in connection with the distribution and sale of the Investor and Institutional Shares.
Payments to the Advisor under the Plan may reimburse the Advisor for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Advisor for services provided to Investor and Institutional Class shareholders of the Funds. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist Investor and Institutional Class shareholders of the Funds and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel, and assistance to the Funds in servicing such shareholders. Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Funds and include establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and

NOTE 9 – SECURITIES LENDING
The Small-Cap Growth 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 Small-Cap Growth 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 the 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
38
Hood River Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
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 Small-Cap Growth Fund’s total assets taken at fair market value. The Small-Cap Growth 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 Small-Cap Growth 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.
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 Funds invest in relative to the size of the Funds, and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. When the Funds’ asset base is small, a significant portion of the Funds’ performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Funds. As the Funds’ assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Funds’ performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Funds’ performance.
As of December 31, 2022, 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 following table presents the securities out on loan for the Fund, and the collateral delivered related to those securities, as of the end of the reporting period.

NOTE 10 – PRINCIPAL RISKS
The following is a list of certain risks that may apply to your investment in the Funds. Further information about investment risks is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information.
General Market Risk; Recent Market Events: The value of the Funds’ shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Funds’ investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for the Funds’ portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of the Funds’ investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.
39
Hood River Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, business interruptions, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, layoffs, rising unemployment claims, changed travel and social behaviors and reduced consumer spending. The effects of COVID-19 may lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies, the recovery from which is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time.
Small-Cap Company Risk: Companies in which the Funds invest 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.
Equity Market Risk: Equity securities are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations due to economic, market, political and issuer-specific considerations and to potential volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change.
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 Securities and Currency Risk: Foreign securities are subject to risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market practices. Those risks are increased for investments in emerging markets. Securities that are denominated in foreign currencies are subject to further risk that the value of the foreign currency will fall in relation to the U.S. dollar and/or will be affected by volatile currency markets or actions of U.S. and foreign governments or central banks. Income earned on foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
IPO Risk: The Funds may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings (“IPOs”). The price of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The Funds’ 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
40
Hood River Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the costs.
Private Placements: The Funds may invest in private placement securities, which are securities that are subject to restrictions on resale as a matter of contract or under federal securities laws. Private placements are often issued by privately held companies that are not subject to the reporting requirements of the SEC and are not required to maintain their accounting records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because there may be relatively few potential purchasers for such securities, the Funds could find it more difficult to sell such securities, especially under adverse market or economic conditions or in the event of adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer.
Due to the more limited financial information and lack of publicly available prices, it may be more difficult to determine the fair value of these securities for purposes of computing the Funds’ net asset value. Securities acquired in private placements generally
41
Hood River Funds
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
December 31, 2022 (Unaudited) |
are classified as illiquid. Disposing of securities acquired in private placements may involve time-consuming negotiations and legal expenses, and it may be difficult or impossible for the Funds to sell the security promptly at an acceptable price.
NOTE 11 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ 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 Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE 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 the funds, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of December 31, 2022, National Financial Services LLC held 32% of the outstanding shares of the Small-Cap Growth Fund. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by National Financial Services LLC are also beneficially owned. As of December 31, 2022, Mid Atlantic Trust Co. held 33% of the outstanding shares of the International Opportunity Fund.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES |
December 31, 2022 (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, 2022 to December 31, 2022 for the Investor, Institutional, and Retirement Shares of the Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the period from July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 for the Institutional and Retirement Shares of the Hood River International Opportunity Fund.
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
43

“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.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM |
(Unaudited) |
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Fund, a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”), has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program tailored specifically to the Fund (the “Program”). The Program seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management for the Fund and to protect Fund shareholders from dilution of their interests. The Board has designated the Fund’s investment adviser to serve as the administrator of the Program (the “Program Administrator”). Personnel of the Fund’s investment adviser conduct the day-to-day operation of the Program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Program Administrator. The Program Administrator is required to provide a written annual report to the Board and the chief compliance officer of the Trust regarding the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program and any material changes to the Program.
Under the Program, the Program Administrator manages the Fund’s liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund. The Program assesses liquidity risk under both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of the Fund’s investments, limiting the amount of the Fund’s illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Fund for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Program Administrator’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of the Fund’s investments is supported by one or more third-party liquidity assessment vendors.
On November 18, 2022, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s assessment of the operation and effectiveness of the Program for the period July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022 (the “Report”). The Report noted that the Fund’s portfolio is expected to continue to primarily hold highly liquid investments and the determination that the Fund be designated as a “primarily highly liquid fund” (as defined in Rule 22e-4) remains appropriate. The Fund can therefore continue to rely on the exclusion in Rule 22e-4 from the requirements to determine and review a highly liquid investment minimum for the Fund and to adopt policies and procedures for responding to a highly liquid investment minimum shortfall. The Report noted that there were no breaches of the Fund’s restriction on holding illiquid investments exceeding 15% of its net assets during the review period. The Report confirmed that the Fund’s investment strategy was appropriate for an open-end management investment company. The Report also indicated that no material changes had been made to the Program during the review period.
The Program Administrator determined that the Fund is reasonably likely to be able to meet redemption requests without adversely affecting non-redeeming Fund shareholders through significant dilution. The Program Administrator concluded that the during the review period, the Program was adequately designed and effectively operating to monitor the liquidity risk to the Fund, taking into account the size of the Fund, the type of business conducted, and other relevant factors.

APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT |
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”) met on November 18, 2022 to consider the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Hood River Small-Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”) and the Hood River International Opportunity Fund (the “International Opportunity Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, and together, the “Funds”), each a series of the Trust, and the Funds’ investment adviser, Hood River Capital Management, LLC (“Hood River”). The Trustees had previously met at a special meeting held on October 18, 2022 to discuss the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including a copy of the Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust’s outside legal counsel discussing the Board’s fiduciary obligations and factors relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, comparative information relating to the performance of the Fund against each Fund’s peer group and benchmark index, Hood River’s Form ADV, due diligence materials provided by Hood River, including information regarding Hood River’s compliance program, personnel and financial condition, profitability information, and other pertinent information. The Board also reviewed the advisory fee payable by the Fund under the Advisory Agreement; the expense limitation agreement between Hood River and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund; and comparative fee and expense information as reported by Morningstar.
The Trustees met with the officers of the Trust and legal counsel to discuss the information provided and also met in executive session with legal counsel to the Independent Trustees to review their duties in considering the Advisory Agreement and the information provided. The Trustees noted that they had met with a representative from Hood River via video conference earlier in the year to discuss Hood River’s investment strategy for the Funds, the Funds’ performance, and various business, personnel, market and operational updates. The Board also took into account information routinely provided at quarterly meetings throughout the year regarding the quality of services provided by Hood River, the performance of the Funds, brokerage and trading, Fund expenses, asset flows, compliance issues and related matters.
Based on their evaluation of the information provided as part of the October and November meetings, as well as information provided over the course of the year, the Trustees, all of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term. Below is a summary of the material factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement.
1. | NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUND |
The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Hood River to the Funds. The Board considered the services provided by Hood River, including investment and market research, security selection, shareholder servicing, compliance

Hood River Funds
APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued) |
services and Fund marketing, as well as portfolio management, trading, and proxy voting services. The Board considered Hood River’s investment strategy for each Fund and information regarding Hood River’s risk management practices. The Trustees considered that Hood River and its personnel were responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds, noting the qualifications, experience, and responsibilities of each Fund’s portfolio managers, and other key personnel at Hood River and its service providers involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, including the firm’s brokerage practices. The Trustees also noted the considerable growth of the Small-Cap Growth Fund since inception, due in part to the Adviser’s marketing efforts. The Trustees also noted that the International Opportunity Fund had commenced operations in September 2021 and, therefore, has limited operating history and assets. The Trustees considered additional information provided by Hood River in a due diligence questionnaire, including information about Hood River’s compliance program and the operation of Hood River’s business continuity plan. The Trustees concluded that Hood River had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement, and that the nature, overall quality and extent of services provided to the Funds were satisfactory.
2. | INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND |
Small-Cap Growth Fund. The Trustees discussed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods ended June 30, 2022. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by Hood River, the Trustees considered the short-term and longer-term performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Trustees also compared the Fund’s performance to a peer group of open-end small growth funds (the “Morningstar Peer Group”).
The Trustees noted that the Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Index for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods and that its performance compared favorably to its Morningstar Peer Group. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to Hood River’s composite of other separately managed accounts managed with investment strategies substantially similar to the Fund, and noted the performance of the Fund was relatively in line with the performance of the separately managed accounts.
International Opportunity Fund. The Trustees discussed the performance of the Fund for the year-to-date and since inception periods ended June 30, 2022. The Trustees considered the performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Small Cap Index. The Trustees also compared the Fund’s performance to a peer group of open-end foreign small/mid growth funds (the “Morningstar Peer Group”). The Trustees noted that the Fund has only a limited operating history.

The Trustees noted that while the Fund underperformed the MSCI All Country World ex-USA Small Cap Index, its performance compared favorably to its Morningstar Peer Group. The Trustees reviewed the Fund’s performance relative to Hood River’s composite of other separately managed accounts managed with investment strategies substantially similar to the Fund, and noted the performance of the Fund was relatively in line with the performance of the separately managed accounts.
Conclusion. After considering all of the information, the Trustees concluded that each Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from Hood River’s continued management.
3. | ADVISORY FEE, COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER |
The Trustees considered the cost of services provided by Hood River and Hood River’s advisory fee for each Fund, including a review of comparative fee and expense information. The Trustees considered the net expense ratio of each Fund relative to its Morningstar Peer Group average, as well as the fee waivers and expense reimbursements previously provided by Hood River. The Trustees also considered Hood River’s financial statements and a profitability analysis prepared by Hood River based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement.
Small-Cap Growth Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.90% was higher than the Morningstar Peer Group average. The Trustees noted that Hood River does not view any of its separately managed accounts as substantially similar to the Fund for fee comparison purposes, but that the standard fees for Hood River’s small-cap growth strategy are similar to the Fund’s advisory fee. The Trustees further noted that the total net expense ratio for the Retirement Shares, Institutional Shares, and Retail Shares were higher than the Morningstar Peer Group average. The Board noted that, pursuant to a contractual operating expense limitation agreement between Hood River and the Fund, Hood River has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, shareholder servicing plan fees and other excludable expenses) do not exceed 0.99% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, through at least October 31, 2023, unless terminated sooner by, or with the consent of, the Board.
International Opportunity Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee of 1.30% was higher than the Morningstar Peer Group average. The Trustees noted that Hood River does not manage any comparable separately managed accounts for fee comparison purposes. The Trustees further noted that the total net expense ratio for the Retirement Shares and Institutional Shares were higher than the Morningstar Peer Group average. The Board noted that, pursuant to a contractual operating expense limitation agreement between Hood River and the Fund, Hood River has agreed to waive its management fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding Rule 12b-1 plan fees, shareholder

servicing plan fees and other excludable expenses) do not exceed 1.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, through at least September 28, 2024, unless terminated sooner by, or with the consent of, the Board.
The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s expenses and the management fees paid to Hood River were fair and reasonable in light of the quality of services provided to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that Hood River’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Small-Cap Growth Fund was reasonable. The Trustees did not consider Hood River’s level of profitability from its relationship with the International Opportunity Fund to be a material factor because the Fund was not yet profitable to Hood River.
4. | EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS |
The Trustees considered each Fund’s expenses and the structure of each Fund’s management fee with respect to potential economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Funds’ management fee structures did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Funds’ assets grow in size but considered that Hood River has been waiving fees or reimbursing expenses since each Fund’s inception. The Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable. With respect to the Small Cap Growth Fund, the Trustees concluded that the fee structure reflects a sharing of economies of scale between Hood River and the Fund at the Fund’s current asset level. The Trustees did not consider economies of scale to be a material factor for the International Opportunity Fund given the Fund’s asset size.
5. | BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND |
The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by Hood River from its association with the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the benefits Hood River may receive, such as soft dollar research, appear to be reasonable and may benefit the Funds.
CONCLUSION
The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of each Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, all of whom are Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term as being in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
