Semi-Annual Report
January 31, 2021
COHO FUNDS
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As January 31, 2021 marks the end of the Funds’ most recent semi-annual period, we are pleased to provide you with an update. At Coho Partners, Ltd., we remain committed to achieving each Fund’s investment objective and providing our shareholders with open and active communication so they may gain a clear understanding of our investment process, Fund performance results, and our most recent thoughts on the economy and the equity markets.
Fund Performance Review
From August 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021, the Coho Relative Value Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”) returned 9.23% and the Coho Relative Value ESG Fund (the “ESG Fund”) returned 8.97% versus 14.47% for the S&P 500® Index and 17.00% for the Russell 1000® Value Index. The Funds’ relative underperformance for the period was driven by both allocation and selection effect.
From a sector perspective versus the S&P 500® Index, the Equity Fund’s overweight positions in Consumer Staples and Healthcare along with the underweight in Technology were the largest detractors to relative performance. Stock selection in both Financials and Industrials also had a negative impact on the relative performance.
The top five contributors to the Equity Fund’s performance were Microchip Technology Incorporated, Sysco Corporation, Ross Stores, Inc., Aflac Inc., and Automatic Data Processing, Inc. The five largest individual detractors during the period were Marsh & McLennan Companies, Kroger Co., ConAgra Brands, Inc., Amgen Inc., and Merck & Co., Inc.
Market Review
2020 was a most unusual year of market volatility due to the COVID pandemic, the race to develop vaccines, and the Presidential election. As such, we took advantage of the volatility and had one of the most active trading years in the portfolio since our inception. Our focus remains on trying to improve prospective returns while simultaneously reducing risk.
The downturn caused by the pandemic in 1Q was more than offset by investor enthusiasm such that the S&P 500® Index would close near its all-time high by year end. Throughout 2020, the Fund’s largest sector weighting was Health Care and the sector’s return of about 13% lagged that of the S&P 500® Index return. The Equity Fund is typically underweight in the Information Technology sector, given its cyclical growth bias, and this was a performance headwind because Information Technology was the best performing sector for the S&P 500® Index with a 43.9% return this year. Our conviction for the Health Care holdings and the sector in general is based on fundamental factors and our valuation discipline. Over the past two years, the Information Technology sector has dramatically outperformed the Health Care sector, but the primary reason for this is price-to-earnings (“P/E”) expansion in the Information Technology sector. Health Care has shown the best revenue growth and change in forward earnings of any sector in each of the last two years. Despite Health Care’s strong revenue and earnings growth, the sector has lagged the S&P 500® Index in each of the last two years. The forward P/E for Information Technology is towards the upper end of its historic range and the Health Care multiple is at a historic low. As such, we see a better risk/return for Health Care than in Information Technology.
We recently published an ESG white paper on the topic of active proxy voting. At Coho Partners, proxy voting is fully integrated into the investment process. In 2019, the Investment Team formally adopted customized ESG proxy voting guidelines which include best practices for governance and sustainability. We developed these based on in-depth research, years of experience voting proxies, and engagement with corporate officers, directors, and governance experts. The guidelines reflect our proprietary views and are used as a framework for decision making by portfolio managers when voting proxies. Proxy reviews performed for each of the portfolio companies include governance and sustainability research using a materiality lens and are supplemented by engagement with management. Engagement

COHO FUNDS
meetings help us influence and advocate for commitment to environmental and social responsibility, discuss corporate governance practices, and collect insights for proxy voting and sustainability research. We completed our first annual update of the guidelines at the end of 2020 to further reflect our proprietary corporate governance views, new proxy voting topics, and best practices.
The guidelines cover topics such as director elections, executive compensation, shareholder rights, and sustainability. These have all received increased attention from shareholders in recent years. For director elections, we have focused on increasing accountability for corporate results and improving board diversity. When reviewing executive compensation plans for say-on-pay proposals, we seek to align management interests with the creation of shareholder value. The guidelines promote shareholder interests through the expansion of shareholder rights. As it relates to sustainability, we continue to generally support environmental and social shareholder proposals to benefit stakeholders.
Fund Advisor Outlook
Growth has dominated value since 2009, but for the preceding ten years, growth and value posted similar returns. The current gap of “growth over value” is nearly as large as it was back in 2000 during the dot.com boom. We are not anticipating a reversal of that magnitude to begin in 2021, but we do believe there are cycles for growth and value and the likelihood of a “value” cycle beginning soon seems reasonable.
We believe that investing is a marathon and not a sprint. Adherence to disciplines with a keen eye on risk mitigation is what we believe ultimately separates us from other investment managers. Another integral part of our investment strategy is to have a rising income stream each year. The companies in which we invest tend to have appropriate dividend payouts given their future growth prospects and the Boards of these companies tend to increase the dividend on an annual basis. 2020 was a stressful year for most Boards as business models were disrupted in various degrees by the pandemic. However, for the year, income growth in the portfolio was about 9% versus flat for the S&P 500® Index and a negative 9% for the Russell 1000® Value Index.
Our overall focus remains on trying to improve prospective returns while simultaneously reducing risk. Our companies had good execution in 2020 and we do believe the portfolio is well positioned as we begin 2021. As always, we expect valuations to eventually catch up with fundamentals and we like the portfolios’ positioning as we move into this new year.
We thank you for your investment and continued confidence in the Coho Funds and we look forward to serving your interests over the many quarters and years to come.
Sincerely,
Coho Partners, Ltd.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds may have a relatively high concentration of assets in a single or small number of issuers, which may reduce their diversification and result in increased volatility. The Funds may invest in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger capitalization companies. Investments in securities of foreign issuers involve risks not ordinarily associated with investment in securities and instruments of U.S. issuers, including risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad, differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory and accounting requirements, tax risks, and market practices, as well as fluctuations in foreign currencies. The principal value and investment return of an investment will fluctuate so an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the initial investment.
Fund holdings and sector allocations are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please see the schedule of investments section in this report for a full listing of each Fund’s holdings.
Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales.
Price-to-earnings (P/E) is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current share price relative to its per-share earnings.
The S&P 500® Index is a stock market index based on the market capitalizations of 500 leading companies publicly traded in the U.S. stock market, as determined by Standard & Poor’s. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)
January 31, 2021
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, 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 a 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 and held for the entire period (August 1, 2020 – January 31, 2021).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs may have been higher.

COHO FUNDS
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited)
January 31, 2021
1. ORGANIZATION
Managed Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 27, 2011. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Both the Coho Relative Value Equity Fund (the “Equity Fund”) and Coho Relative Value ESG Fund (the “ESG Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are diversified series, each with their own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of both Funds is total return. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services — Investment Companies. The Equity Fund commenced operations on August 14, 2013 and currently offers only one class of shares. Effective November 22, 2019, the Fund ceased offering its Institutional Class shares. The remaining Institutional Class shares were converted to Advisor Class shares at the close of business on November 22, 2019 and the Advisor Class name was subsequently discontinued. The Advisor Class shares were previously subject up to a maximum 0.15% shareholder servicing fee which is not applicable to the existing share class. Each class of shares had identical rights and privileges except with respect to shareholder servicing fees and voting rights on matters affecting a single class. The ESG Fund commenced operations on November 27, 2019, and currently offers only one class of shares. Both Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation — All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes — The Funds comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment companies and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended January 31, 2021, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the period ended January 31, 2021, the Funds did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of and during the period ended January 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. tax authorities for tax years prior to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017.
Security Transactions, Income and Distributions — The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are calculated on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the expected life of the respective securities using the constant yield method.
The Funds distribute substantially all net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ
20
COHO FUNDS
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
January 31, 2021
from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, GAAP requires that they be reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Funds.
Expenses — Expenses associated with a specific fund in the Trust are charged to that fund. Common Trust expenses are typically allocated evenly between the funds of the Trust, or by other equitable means.
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. SECURITIES VALUATION
The 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 Funds 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 Funds’ 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. The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value.
Equity Securities — Equity securities that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange are 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 ask prices. Securities traded primarily in the Nasdaq Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities are 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 ask 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.
Short-Term Investments — Investments in other mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value per share. Deposit accounts are valued at acquisition cost, which approximates fair value. To the extent valuation adjustments are not applied, these securities are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). These procedures consider many
21
COHO FUNDS
Notes to the Financial Statements (Unaudited) – Continued
January 31, 2021
factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. There can be no assurance that the Funds could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Funds determine their net asset value per share. The Board has established a Valuation Committee to administer, implement, and oversee the fair valuation process, and to make fair value decisions when necessary. The Board regularly reviews reports of the Valuation Committee that describe any fair value determinations and methods.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ securities as of January 31, 2021:

The Trust has an agreement with the Adviser to furnish investment advisory services to the Funds. For its services, the Funds pay the Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 0.70% of the daily net assets of the Funds.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and/or reimburse each Fund for their expenses to ensure total annual operating expenses (excluding shareholder servicing fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.79% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
Fees waived and expenses reimbursed by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of thirty-six months following the month during which such waiver or reimbursement was made if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver or reimbursement occurred. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is indefinite in term but cannot be terminated within a year after the effective date of the Funds’ prospectus. After that date, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Board or the Adviser, with the consent of the Board. During the period ended January 31, 2021, the Adviser was able to recoup $34,303 relating to fees waived in prior fiscal years for the Equity Fund. Waived fees and reimbursed expenses for the Funds subject to potential recovery by month of expiration are as follows:

ESG Fund | 409,165 | (52,321 | ) | 356,844 | 3,371,138 |

8. SECTOR RISK
As of January 31, 2021, each Fund had a significant portion of its assets invested in the health care sector. Companies in this sector are subject to risks such as litigation, intellectual property issues, competition, government regulation, product approval or rejection and product obsolescence.
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. As of January 31, 2021, Wells Fargo Bank, for the benefit of its customers, owned 48.81% of the outstanding shares of the Equity Fund.

10. LINE OF CREDIT
The Equity Fund has established an unsecured Line of Credit (“LOC”) in the amount of $25,000,000 or 33.33% of the fair value of the Fund’s investments, whichever is less. The LOC matures, unless renewed, on July 24, 2021. This LOC is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions and other short-term liquidity needs of the Fund. The LOC is with the Custodian. Interest is charged at the prime rate which was 3.25% as of January 31, 2021. The interest rate during the period was 3.25%. The Equity Fund has authorized the Custodian to charge any of the Fund’s accounts for any missed payments. For the period ended January 31, 2021, the Fund did not have any borrowings under the LOC.

to be a taxable transaction by management and the cost basis of securities recorded by the ESG Fund was equal to the fair market value of the securities at the time of the in-kind transaction. The cost of the securities recorded by the ESG Fund on November 27, 2019, was $85,470 and cash was $14,530.
12. COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance.
