Pemberwick Fund

We present the Pemberwick Fund annual report covering the year from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Portfolio performance information, market commentary and our outlook for the period ended March 31, 2024 follows. We encourage you to carefully review the enclosed information to stay informed.

PORTFOLIO PERFORMANCE AND MARKET REVIEW:

For the year ended March 31, 2024, Pemberwick Fund (“Pemberwick”) generated a total investment return of 5.97% net of expenses. The Portfolio’s primary benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index returned 3.49% during the same period (the benchmark index does not include expenses). Pemberwick outperformed the benchmark by 2.48% during the period from April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024. The fund outperformed the benchmark every month of the year with larger spikes happening in July 2023 (3.88%), June 2023 (3.47%), August 2023 (2.98%), May 2023 (2.93%), March 2024 (2.48%), and September 2023 (2.3%). During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we saw little change in the spreads of floating rate bonds as the Fed stopped increasing interest rates after July 2023. Higher interest rates are advantageous for Pemberwick Fund’s earnings, and the rate staying at a higher level has kept the Fund’s NAV consistent. Since its inception on February 1, 2010, Pemberwick has generated an annual return net of expenses of 1.64% vs. Pemberwick’s benchmark return of 1.32% for the same period (the benchmark index does not include expenses). Pemberwick’s annual return for the 5-year period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2024 was 2.27% net of expenses, vs. Pemberwick’s benchmark annual return of 1.36% (the benchmark index does not include expenses).

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will change so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-888-893-4491. The gross expense ratio of the Fund was 0.44% as of the 7/31/23 prospectus. Pemberwick Fund’s advisor has voluntarily undertaken to limit Fund expenses. Such expense limitations may fluctuate and are voluntary and temporary and may be terminated by Pemberwick Fund’s advisor at any time without notice. Pemberwick Fund’s advisor currently voluntarily waives 0.10% of its 0.25% management fee, resulting in a net expense ratio of 0.33% as of March 31, 2023 as mentioned on page 28 of the July 31, 2023 prospectus.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, Pemberwick primarily continued its strategy of building a portfolio of investment grade floating rate bonds with laddered maturities during the period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. As Pemberwick has relatively predictable amounts of monthly redemptions, Pemberwick should seldom need to sell bonds to cover redemptions thus greatly minimizing shareholder’s losses during times of economic distress. Our intention is to work to increase Pemberwick Fund’s net assets back to $300 million as the Richman organization moves substantially all available cash into Pemberwick Fund. We will continue to closely monitor the market and look to keep gradually adding investment grade floating rate bonds to the portfolio as we have maturities and as more bonds become available.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING:

As of March 31, 2024, Pemberwick Fund continues to be invested primarily in investment grade floating rate bonds issued by financial institutions with assets greater than $250 billion (62% of Pemberwick’s net assets), securities issued by the US Treasury and Agencies (12% of Pemberwick’s net assets), a small percentage of fixed rate investment grade corporate bonds (10% of Pemberwick’s net assets), and cash (16% of Pemberwick’s net assets). Pemberwick’s net assets decreased by

Pemberwick Fund

$45.0 million, or approximately -15.8% during the year ended March 31, 2024; decreasing from approximately $284.7 million as of March 31, 2023 to approximately $239.7 million as of March 31, 2024. This decrease is due to redemptions by Richman affiliated shareholders in their ordinary course of business. Current net assets are $245 million as of April 23, 2024.

This letter is intended to assist shareholders in understanding how Pemberwick performed during the year ended March 31, 2024 and includes the views of the investment advisor at the time of this writing. Of course, these views may change and do not guarantee the future performance of Pemberwick or the markets. Portfolio composition is subject to change. The current and future portfolio holdings of Pemberwick are subject to investment risk.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Fixed-income securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment and extension risks. By concentrating its assets in the banking industry, the Fund is subject to the risk that economic, business, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the banking industry will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were diversified across different industries or sectors. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.

Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Total Return Index Value Unhedged – The Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Bond Index is a broad-based benchmark that measures the non-securitized component of the US Aggregate Index. It includes investment grade, US dollar-denominated, fixed-rate Treasuries, government-related and corporate securities. It is not possible to invest in an index.

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) – United States – Broad General Collateral Rate – The rate is published each business day at 8AM EST by the New York Fed. The SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level tri-party repo data collected from the Bank of New York Mellon as well as GCF Repo transaction data and data on bilateral Treasury repo transactions cleared through FICC’s DVP service, which are obtained from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Financial Research (OFR).

Duration (Workout Date in Years) – The number of years from today to the workout of the instrument. The workout of the instrument is the call date (if applicable) or the maturity date. For mortgage-backed instruments the weighted average life is used instead of the maturity.

Investment grade – issuer credit ratings are those that are above BBB- or Baa for S&P or Moody’s respectively.

The Pemberwick Fund is distributed by Vigilant Distributors, LLC.

This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the Fund on February 1, 2010, the Fund’s inception date.  Returns reflect the reinvestment of income and capital gain distributions. The performance data shown reflects a voluntary waiver made by the Adviser.  In the absence of fee waivers, returns would be reduced. The performance data and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on dividends, capital gain distributions, or redemption of Fund shares. This chart does not imply any future performance.

The Bloomberg 1-3 Year US Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged market index and should not be considered indicative of any Pemberwick investment.  One cannot invest directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2024

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Pemberwick Fund (the “Pemberwick Fund” or the “Fund”) is a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (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 non-diversified series of the Trust. Pemberwick Investment Advisors LLC (“Pemberwick” or the “Advisor”) serves as the investment advisor to the Fund, and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“J.P. Morgan” or the “Sub-Advisor”) serves as the sub-advisor to the Fund. Pemberwick and J.P. Morgan also served as the advisor and sub-advisor, respectively, to the Predecessor Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum current income that is consistent with liquidity and stability of principal.

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.

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 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.
	The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense on the Statement of Operations.  During the year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

	the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective interest method. Gains and losses from paydowns on mortgage and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income.
	The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, which is declared daily as a dividend and paid monthly. Any net capital gain realized by the Fund will be distributed 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.
	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 Fund does not charge redemption fees to shareholders.
F.	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.
G.	Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and through the date the financial statements were available to be issued, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and concluded that no additional disclosures are necessary.

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

23

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2024

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.

Debt Securities: Debt securities, including corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries, and U.S. government agency issues, are generally valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service that utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. In addition, the model may incorporate market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued primarily using dealer quotations. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 2 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: 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 debt securities are

24

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2024

generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

In the absence of prices from a pricing service, or if 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 Fund’s securities as of March 31, 2024:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Corporate Bonds and Notes	$	—	$	169,283,151	$	—	$	169,283,151

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Advisor provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, and facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.25% from the Fund based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred $625,927 in advisory fees. Advisory fees payable at March 31, 2024 for the Fund were $30,561. The Advisor has hired J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. as a sub-advisor to manage the U.S. Treasuries and agency debt portion of the Fund. The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor fee for the Pemberwick Fund from its own assets and these fees are not an additional expense of the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2024

The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor voluntarily waives 10 basis points of the annual investment advisory fee Pemberwick is entitled to receive from the Fund pursuant to the advisory agreement between Pemberwick and the Fund. Such waiver will continue until Pemberwick notifies the Fund of a change in its voluntary waiver or its discontinuation. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Advisor voluntarily waived fees in the amount of $250,371. The fees waived by the Advisor are not subject to recoupment.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, LLC (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”) acts as the Fund’s Administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. Fund Services also serves as the fund accountant, transfer agent and Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund. U.S. Bank N.A., an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Fund’s custodian. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Fund incurred the following expenses for administration, fund accounting, transfer agency, compliance and custody fees:

Administration and fund accounting	$	283,697
Custody	$	29,484
Transfer agency	$	68,377
Compliance	$	12,353

Custody	$	9,644
Transfer agency	$	9,951

Vigilant Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares.

Certain officers of the Fund are employees of the Administrator and are not paid any fees by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

Trustee Compensation: Each member of the Board (a “Trustee”) who is not an “interested person” (as defined by the 1940 Act, as amended) of the Trust (“Independent Trustee”) receives an annual retainer and meeting fees, plus reimbursement for travel and other meeting-related expenses.

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.

27

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2024

Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. A credit rating assigned to a particular debt security is essentially the opinion of a nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”) as to the credit quality of an issuer and may prove to be inaccurate.

Concentration Risk: By concentrating its assets in the banking industry, the Fund is subject to the risk that economic, business, political or other conditions that have a negative effect on the banking industry will negatively impact the Fund to a greater extent than if the Fund’s assets were diversified across different industries or sectors.

Deflation Risk: Deflation to the U.S. economy may cause principal to decline and inflation-linked securities could underperform securities whose interest payments are not adjusted for inflation or linked to a measure of inflation.

Extension Risk: When interest rates rise, certain obligations will be paid off by the obligor more slowly than anticipated, causing the value of these securities to fall.

Fixed Income Securities Risks: Fixed income securities are subject to the risk that the issuer may not make principal and interest payments when they are due. Fixed-income securities may be subject to credit, interest rate, call or prepayment, and extension risks.

Interest Rate Risk: The value of investments in fixed income securities fluctuates with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by the Fund. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. The Federal Reserve has increased short-term interest rates significantly in 2022 and 2023 in an effort to combat inflation, which may impact the value of the Fund’s fixed income securities.

Management Risk: The Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of the Fund’s investments may prove to be incorrect and the investment strategies employed by the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor in selecting investments for the Fund may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other similar investment vehicles having similar investment strategies.

Market Risk: Certain investments selected for the Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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.

General Market Risk; Recent Market Events: The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time. Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or

28

Pemberwick Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

March 31, 2024

the market as a whole. 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 rising inflation, the war between Russia and Ukraine and the current conflicts in the Middle East.

Global economies and financial markets are increasingly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely impact issuers in a different country or region. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on the Fund’s returns. The Adviser and Sub-Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that they will be successful in doing so.

Non-Diversification Risk: Because the Fund is “non-diversified,” it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single Industry. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single Industry could cause the Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Fund held a more diversified portfolio. The Fund will still not invest more than 5% of total assets into a single issuer.

Call or Prepayment Risk: During periods of declining interest rates, a bond issuer may “call” or repay its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates. In times of declining interest rates, the Fund’s higher yielding securities may be prepaid offering less potential for gains, and the Fund may have to replace them with securities having a lower yield.

U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations Risk: Securities issued by U.S. Government agencies and instrumentalities have different levels of U.S. Government credit support. Some are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while others are supported by only the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government or only by the credit of the agency or instrumentality. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to U.S. Government-sponsored instrumentalities because they are not obligated to do so by law. Guarantees of timely prepayment of principal and interest do not assure that the market prices and yields of the securities are guaranteed nor do they guarantee the net asset value or performance of the Fund, which will vary with changes in interest rates, the Advisor’s success and other market conditions.

NOTE 8 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATION

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter 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 – 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 Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. While no individual shareholder has a position which exceeds 25% of the voting securities of the Fund, as of March 31, 2024, investors who are affiliated with the Advisor, when aggregated, owned 100% of the voting securities of the Fund.

NOTE 10 – TAILORED SHAREHOLDER REPORTS

In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Pemberwick Fund and

Board of Trustees of Manager Directed Portfolios

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Pemberwick Fund, a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Fund”), as of March 31, 2024, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years in the two year period then ended, 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 March 31, 2024, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the years in the two‐year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Fund’s financial highlights for the year ended March 31, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 25, 2022, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

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 laws 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.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian. 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.

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2023.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

March 31, 2024 (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; 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 October 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024.

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.

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 May 14, 2024, the Board reviewed the Program Administrator’s assessment of the operation and effectiveness of the Program for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 (the “Report”). 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 PEMBERWICK FUND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

The Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of Manager Directed Portfolios (the “Trust”) met on November 13, 2023 to consider the renewal of (i) the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Trust, on behalf of the Pemberwick Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Trust, and the Fund’s investment adviser, Pemberwick Investment Advisors, LLC (“Pemberwick” or the “Adviser”) and (ii) the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between Pemberwick and J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“JPMIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Trustees, all of whom are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Trustees”), had previously met at a special meeting held on October 17, 2023 to discuss the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Prior to these meetings, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by counsel to the Independent Trustees discussing factors relevant to the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, comparative performance information, Pemberwick’s Form ADV and JPMIM’s Form ADV Part 1A, brochure and brochure supplements, due diligence materials provided by Pemberwick and JPMIM, including information regarding each firm’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 sub-advisory fee payable by Pemberwick to JPMIM and comparative fee and expense information as reported by a third-party analytics firm.

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 Sub-Advisory Agreement and the information provided. The Trustees noted that they had met with representatives of Pemberwick in person earlier in the year to discuss the Fund’s investment strategy, the Fund’s performance, updates about each firm’s business and personnel and other matters. The Board took into account information reviewed periodically throughout the year regarding the services provided by Pemberwick and JPMIM, the performance of the Fund, trading services provided by each firm, Fund expenses, asset flows, compliance matters and other information deemed relevant.

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 approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, each 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 and Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Pemberwick Fund

APPROVAL OF THE PEMBERWICK FUND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

1. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE FUND

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by Pemberwick in the management of the Fund, including portfolio management, research, trading,  compliance monitoring, investment strategy oversight, allocation of assets to JPMIM and oversight of JPMIM as the Fund’s sub-advisor. The Trustees also considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by JPMIM, including portfolio management, research and trading for a portion of the Fund.  The Trustees considered the qualifications and experience of personnel at Pemberwick and JPMIM who are involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board considered the Adviser’s compliance program and past reports from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the CCO’s review of the Adviser’s compliance program.  The Board also considered its previous experience with Pemberwick and JPMIM providing investment management services to the Fund.  The Trustees considered the information provided by Pemberwick and JPMIM in response to the due diligence questionnaire and as part of the presentation by the Adviser earlier in the year. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by Pemberwick and JPMIM were appropriate and that the Fund was likely to continue to benefit from the services provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, respectively.

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND

The Trustees discussed the performance of the Fund for the one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended June 30, 2023 on an absolute basis and in comparison to the Fund’s benchmark index, the Bloomberg 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Index. The Board noted the Fund outperformed its benchmark for all periods. The Board also considered the performance of the sleeve of the Fund managed by JPMIM and noted that the performance of the sleeve outperformed the custom benchmark.

The Board noted that Pemberwick does not manage any accounts other than the Fund. The Trustees reviewed the performance of the sleeve of the Fund managed by JPMIM relative to JPMIM’s composites of other separately managed accounts managed with investment strategies similar to the Fund but did not consider the composite performance to be a material factor.

The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s performance was satisfactory and the Fund and its shareholders were likely to benefit from Pemberwick’s and JPMIM’s continued management.

3. ADVISORY FEES AND EXPENSES

The Trustees considered Pemberwick’s advisory fee rate, related statistical information and the cost structure of the Fund relative to fee and expense comparisons against a peer group of funds constructed using Morningstar, Inc. data and presented by

40

Pemberwick Fund

APPROVAL OF THE PEMBERWICK FUND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

Barrington Partners, an independent third-party analytics firm (the “Barrington Cohort”).  The Trustees noted that Pemberwick continues to voluntarily waive 0.10% of its management fee. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s contractual management fee of 0.25% was lower than the Barrington Cohort average.  The Trustees noted that the total net expense ratio for the Fund, after voluntary waivers, was lower than the Barrington Cohort average.

The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s expenses and the management fee paid to Pemberwick were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative expense and management fee information and the quality of the services provided to the Fund by Pemberwick.

The Trustees then considered the sub-advisory fee paid to JPMIM by Pemberwick for the services provided as the Fund’s sub-adviser, including Pemberwick’s discussion of the appropriateness of the sub-advisory fee and JPMIM’s discussion of its profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee paid to JPMIM by Pemberwick was reasonable. The Trustees also noted that the sub-advisory fee is paid by Pemberwick, not the Fund.

4. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS REALIZED BY THE ADVISER

The Trustees considered Pemberwick’s and JPMIM’s financial statements and a profitability analysis prepared by Pemberwick based on the fees payable under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees concluded that Pemberwick’s level of profitability from its relationship with the Fund was reasonable. The Trustees did not consider JPMIM’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund to be a material factor because the sub-advisory fee is paid by Pemberwick.

5. ECONOMIES OF SCALE

The Trustees compared the Fund’s expenses relative to its cohort and Morningstar peer group and considered potential economies of scale. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund’s assets grow in size but was already set at an extremely low level and that Pemberwick has historically voluntarily waived a portion of its management fee. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s current fee structure represents an appropriate sharing of economies of scale with shareholders at the Fund’s current asset level.

Because the sub-advisory fees payable to JPMIM is not paid by the Fund, the Trustees did not consider whether the sub-advisory fees should reflect any potential economies of scale that might be realized as the Fund’s assets increase.

6. BENEFITS DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

Based on the information presented, the Trustees did not consider any direct or indirect benefits that could be realized by Pemberwick and JPMIM from their association with the Fund to be material factors.

41

Pemberwick Fund

APPROVAL OF THE PEMBERWICK FUND INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AND INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

CONCLUSION

In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all important but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Fund’s surrounding circumstances. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

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. 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 3/31/2024	FYE 3/31/2023
Audit Fees	$17,500	$17,500
Audit-Related Fees	N/A	N/A
Tax Fees	$3,100	$3,100
All Other Fees	N/A	N/A

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

	FYE  3/31/2024	FYE  3/31/2023
Audit-Related Fees	0%	0%
Tax Fees	0%	0%
All Other Fees	0%	0%

During the audit of the registrant’s financial statements, 100% of the hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billedor 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.

Non-Audit Related Fees	FYE  3/31/2024	FYE  3/31/2023
Registrant	N/A	N/A
Registrant’s Investment Adviser	N/A	N/A

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.

The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
