Managed Distributions
The Fund may distribute more than its income and net realized capital gains; therefore, a portion of distributions may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money a shareholder has invested in the Fund is paid back to the shareholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.”

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund (“Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund”, f/k/a Tortoise MLP & Pipeline Fund), the Tortoise Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund (“Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund and the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund (“Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund”) are each a non-diversified series with their own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The Trust has evaluated the structure, objective and activities of the Funds and determined that they meet the characteristics of an investment company. As such, these financial statements have applied the guidance as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codifications (“ASC”) 946, Financial Services Investment Companies.
The investment objective of the Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund is total return. The Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily in equity securities of master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and pipeline companies that own and operate a network of energy infrastructure asset systems that transport, store, distribute, gather and/or process crude oil, refined petroleum products (including biodiesel and ethanol), natural gas or natural gas liquids. The Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2011.
The investment objective of the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund is primarily to seek current income and secondarily to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund primarily invests in equity and debt securities of MLPs focused in the energy infrastructure sector and in equity and debt securities of other companies focused in the energy infrastructure sector. The Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund commenced operations on December 27, 2010.
The investment objective of the Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund is to generate long-term total return derived principally from a combination of capital appreciation and income over time. the Fund will principally focus its investment activities in equity securities of companies who are developers, owners and operators, in full or in part, of renewable electricity technology plants and systems, and related infrastructure investments. The Fund will typically emphasize those companies achieving measurable improvements in overall emissions, as defined as those gases and particles that are exhausted into the air as a result of fuel combustion-related activities, relative to their market peers. The Fund’s investments in equity securities may include investments in other investment companies, real estate investment trusts, foreign investment funds, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertible securities, and initial public offerings. The Fund will be invested in a range of both developed and non-developed markets, commensurate with its investment criteria.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Funds are investment companies and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation – The books and records relating to the Funds’ non-U.S. dollar denominated investments are maintained in U.S. dollars on the following bases: (1) market value of investment securities, assets, and liabilities are translated at the current rate of exchange; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in equity securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Funds report certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Federal Income Taxes The Funds intend to meet the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to 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 November 30, 2023, 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. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period ended May 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any excise tax expense. . The Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund, Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund and the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund are subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax years ended November 30, 2020 through 2023.
Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions - Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses are reported on a specific identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income and distributions 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 regulations. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments generally are comprised of ordinary income and return of capital. The Funds allocate distributions between investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information provided by each portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Funds.
During the period ended May 31, 2024, the Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund reallocated the amount of return of capital recognized based on the 2023 tax reporting information received. The impact of this adjustment is a decrease to return of capital by approximately $1,097,522.
During the period ended May 31, 2024, the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund reallocated the amount of return of capital recognized based on the 2023 tax reporting information received. The impact of this adjustment is an decrease to return of capital by approximately $346,008.
During the period ended May 31, 2024, the Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund reallocated the amount of return of capital recognized based on the 2023 information received. The impact of this adjustment is a increase to return of capital by approximately $899,789.
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.
Allocation of Income, Expenses and Gains/Losses – Income, expenses (other than those deemed attributable to a specific share class), and gains and losses of the Funds are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of net assets represented by each class as a percentage of the net assets of each Fund. Expenses deemed directly attributable to a class of shares are recorded by the specific class. Most Fund expenses are allocated by class based on

Notes to Financial Statements
May 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)
relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% and 1.00% of average daily net assets of A Class shares and C Class shares, respectively. Trust 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.
Illiquid or Restricted Securities – A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Funds. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Each Fund will not hold more than 15% of the value of its net assets in illiquid securities. Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. At May 31, 2024, the Funds did not hold any illiquid securities.
Indemnifications – Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred and may not occur. However, the Trust has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents include short-term, liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less and include money market fund accounts.
3. Securities Valuation
The Funds have adopted 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 –
| Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 –
| Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
Level 3 –
| Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, representing the Fund’s view of assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability. |
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to each Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Each Fund’s investments are carried at fair value.
Common stock (including MLPs) – 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 on 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.
In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of events after the close of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Funds’ NAV is calculated will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign markets open on the following business day. The Fund will value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating

the Funds’ NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. All foreign securities, with the exception of Canadian securities and those listed on a U.S. exchange, have an adjustment applied to their trade price and therefore are automatically deemed to be in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Corporate and Municipal Bonds – Corporate and municipal bonds, including listed issues, are valued at fair value on the basis of valuation furnished by an independent pricing service which utilized 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. Most corporate and municipal bonds are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Investment Companies – Investments in other mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value per share. 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.
Restricted Securities – Restricted securities are subject to statutory or contractual restrictions on their public resale, which may make it more difficult to obtain a valuation and may limit a Fund’s ability to dispose of them. Investments in private placement securities and other securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued in good faith by using fair value procedures. Such fair value procedures may consider factors such as discounts to publicly traded issues and time until conversion date.
Derivative Instruments – Listed derivatives, including options, rights, swaps, warrants and futures that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Funds and their Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Funds’ NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have designated Tortoise Capital Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) as their “Valuation Designee” to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5. The Valuation Designee is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

| Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, swap contracts and written options. Swap contracts are presented at the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the instruments. |
Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for additional industry information.
4. Derivatives Transactions
The Funds may use derivatives for different purposes, such as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate or currency risk. The various derivative instruments that the Funds may use are options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts and other derivative securities. The Funds may also use derivatives for leverage, in which case their use would involve leveraging risk. A Fund investing in a derivative instrument could lose more than the principal amount invested.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”) requires enhanced disclosures about each Fund’s use of, and accounting for, derivative instruments and the effect of derivative instruments on each Fund’s results of operations and financial position. Tabular disclosure regarding derivative fair value and gain/loss by contract type (e.g., interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, credit contracts, etc.) is required and derivatives accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 must be disclosed separately from those that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Even though the Funds may use derivatives in an attempt to achieve an economic hedge, the Funds’ derivatives are not accounted for as hedging instruments under ASC 815 because investment companies account for their derivatives at fair value and record any changes in fair value in current period earnings.
For the year ended May 31, 2024, the Funds’ average quarterly notional values are as follows:

During the ordinary course of business, the Funds may enter into transactions subject to enforceable netting agreements or other similar arrangements (“netting agreements”). Generally, the right to offset in netting agreements allows the Funds to offset any exposure to a specific counterparty with any collateral received or delivered to that counterparty based on the terms of the agreement. Generally, each fund manages its cash collateral and securities collateral on a counterparty basis. As of May 31, 2024, the Funds did not enter into any netting agreements which would require any portfolio securities to be netted.

As of November 30, 2023, the Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund and the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund had short-term capital loss carryforwards of $55,033,781 and $149,606,972, respectively, and the Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund, Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund and Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund had long-term capital loss carryforwards of $753,103,249, $148,997,698 and $12,049,854, respectively, which may be carried forward for an unlimited period under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. In addition to the total capital loss carryforward, the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund has a short-term carryforward of $60,744,580 and a long-term carryforward of $71,019,832 that it inherited as the result of the merger with Tortoise MLP & Energy Infrastructure Fund. These capital loss carryforwards are further subject to an initial annual limitation of $147,395 and $175,344 in short-term and long-term carryforwards, respectively, pursuant to Section 382. To the extent the Funds realize future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any unused capital loss carryforwards. Capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses.

Thus, such losses must be used first to offset gains of the same character; for example, long-term loss carryforwards will first offset long-term gains, before they can be used to offset short-term gains. For the Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund and Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund, the capital gains and losses have been estimated based on information currently available and are subject to revision upon receipt of the 2023 tax reporting information from the individual MLPs.
In order to meet certain excise tax distribution requirements, the Funds are required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending November 30 and net investment income earned during a twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, the Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year ordinary losses are any net ordinary capital losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, November 30, 2023. For the taxable year ended November 30, 2023, The Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund, the Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund and the Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund do not plan to defer any late year losses.
During the period ended May 31, 2024, the Funds paid the following distributions to shareholders:

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT – Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C.
APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — Ecofin Advisors Limited (Unaudited)
At the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees of Managed Portfolio Series (“Trust”) on February 21-22, 2024, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Board”), including all of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Independent Trustees”), considered and approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Tortoise Capital Advisors, L.L.C. (“Tortoise” or the “Adviser”) regarding the Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund, Tortoise Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund and Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund (each a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), and the investment sub-advisory agreement between Tortoise and Ecofin Advisors Limited (“Ecofin” or the “Sub-Adviser”) regarding the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund (the “Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement), each for another annual term.
Prior to this meeting and at a meeting held on January 4, 2024, the Trustees received and considered information from Tortoise, Ecofin and the Trust’s administrator designed to provide the Trustees with the information necessary to evaluate the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement (“Support Materials”). Before voting to approve the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed the Support Materials with Trust management and with counsel to the Independent Trustees, and received a memorandum and advice from such counsel discussing the legal standards for the Trustees’ consideration of the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations.
In determining whether to continue the Investment Advisory Agreement and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant, including the following with respect to each Fund: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Tortoise with respect to the Fund and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund; (2) the Fund’s historical performance and the performance of other investment accounts managed by Tortoise and Ecofin; (3) the costs of the services provided by Tortoise and the profits realized by Tortoise from services rendered to the Fund; (4) comparative fee and expense data for the Fund and other investment companies with similar investment objectives; (5) the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows, and whether the advisory fee for the Fund reflects such economies of scale for the Fund’s benefit; and (6) other benefits to Tortoise and its affiliates, and the Sub-Adviser as applicable, resulting from services rendered to the Fund. The Trustees also weighed to varying degrees the importance of the information provided to them, did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and considered the information and made its determinations for each Fund separately and independently of the other Funds.
Based upon the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, including a presentation to the Board by representatives of Tortoise, and the Support Materials, the Board concluded that the overall arrangements between the Trust and Tortoise as set forth in the Investment Advisory Agreement, as it relates to each Fund, and between Tortoise and Ecofin as set forth in the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, as it relates to the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund, continue to be fair and reasonable in light of the services that Tortoise and Ecofin perform, the investment advisory fees that each Fund pays, and such other matters as the Trustees considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment. The material factors and conclusions that formed the basis of the Trustees’ determination to approve the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreement, as it relates to each Fund, and the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, as it relates to the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund, are summarized below.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided. The Trustees considered the scope of services that Tortoise provides under the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, noting that such services include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) providing for, and supervising through the use of the Sub-Adviser where applicable, the general management and investment of the Fund’s investment portfolio; (2) determining, or where applicable overseeing the determination by the Sub-Adviser, the portfolio securities to be purchased, sold, or otherwise disposed of, and the timing of such transactions; (3) voting proxies, if any, with respect to the Fund’s portfolio securities; (4) maintaining the required books and records for transactions that Tortoise or the Sub-Adviser effect on behalf of the Fund; (5) selecting, or where applicable overseeing the selection by the Sub-Adviser of, broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Fund; and (6) monitoring and maintaining the Fund’s compliance with policies and procedures of the Trust and with applicable securities laws. The Trustees reviewed Tortoise’s assets under management, financial

statements, and capitalization. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that Tortoise had sufficient resources to support the management of the Funds. The Trustees considered the specialized investment strategies that Tortoise uses to manage the Funds, Tortoise’s experience in implementing similar strategies, and the significant investment experience of Tortoise and its portfolio managers in the energy industry. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent, and quality of services that Tortoise provides to the Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
Similar to the review of Tortoise, the Trustees considered the scope of services that Ecofin provides under its Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that such services include, but are not limited to, the following with respect to the assets managed for the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund: (1) investing the Fund’s assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment policies; (2) maintaining the required books and records for transactions that the Sub-Adviser effects on behalf of the Fund; (3) selecting broker-dealers to execute orders on behalf of the Fund; and (4) monitoring and maintaining the Fund’s compliance with policies and procedures of the Trust and with applicable securities laws. The Trustees considered Ecofin’s capitalization as well as other affiliated investment advisers in the TortoiseEcofin family of advisers. In that regard, the Trustees concluded that Ecofin had sufficient resources to support the management of the Fund. The Trustees concluded that they are satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services that Ecofin provides to the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund under the Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement.
Fund Historical Performance and the Overall Performance of Tortoise. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by Tortoise and Ecofin, the Trustees reviewed the short-term and longer-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to an appropriate securities benchmark index, each Fund’s Morningstar category (“Category”) as well as a smaller sub-set of peer funds (“Cohort”), and each Fund’s respective composite of separate accounts that Tortoise or Ecofin, as applicable, manages utilizing similar investment strategies as that of the Fund. When reviewing each Fund’s performance against its respective Category and Cohort, the Trustees took into account that the investment objective and strategies of each Fund, as well as the Fund’s level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in its Category and Cohort.
• | Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund had outperformed its Category and Cohort averages over the ten-year period ended September 30, 2023, and its Category average over the five-year period ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed its Category and Cohort averages for all other periods presented. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s A Class and Institutional Class had outperformed its benchmark index over the three-year period ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed for all other periods presented. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s C Class did not perform as well against the benchmark index, but that this class has a 12b-1 fee, which is not necessarily the case for the funds included in the Category and Cohort. The Trustees observed that the Fund’s performance was generally consistent with the performance of a composite of similar accounts managed by Tortoise over all relevant time periods. |
• | Tortoise Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund had outperformed its Category and Cohort averages for the five-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed the Category and Cohort averages over all other periods presented. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s A Class and Institutional Class had outperformed its benchmark index over the ten-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed for all other periods presented. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s C Class did not perform as well against the benchmark index, but that this class has a 12b-1 fee, which is not necessarily the case for the funds included in the Category and Cohort. The Trustees observed that the Fund’s performance was generally consistent with the performance of a composite of similar accounts managed by Tortoise over all relevant time periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance included performance of a predecessor fund that was reorganized into to the Fund. |
• | Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund had underperformed the Category and Cohort averages for all periods presented as of September 30, 2023. The Trustees also noted that the Fund had outperformed its benchmark index for the five-year and since inception periods ended September 30, 2023, but had underperformed during more recent periods. The Trustees observed that the |

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — Ecofin Advisors Limited (Unaudited) (Continued)
Fund’s performance was generally consistent with the performance of a composite of similar accounts managed by Ecofin over all relevant time periods. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance included performance of a predecessor fund that was reorganized into to the Fund.
Cost of Advisory Services and Profitability. The Trustees considered the annual advisory fees that each Fund pays to Tortoise under the Investment Advisory Agreement, as well as Tortoise’s profitability from services that Tortoise and its affiliates rendered to each Fund during the 12-month period ended September 30, 2023. The Trustees also noted favorably that Tortoise had agreed to continue the expense limitation agreement under which Tortoise contractually agreed to reimburse each Fund for operating expenses, as specified in the Funds’ prospectus. The Trustees further noted that Tortoise had recouped a portion of previously reimbursed expenses for the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund during the most recent fiscal year. The Trustees also considered that while the management fees that Tortoise charges to other client accounts, each with similar investment strategies to those of the Funds, may be higher or lower than the advisory fee for the Funds (depending upon the type of account or vehicle, size of the account, relationship and/or nature and level of services provided, among other factors), Tortoise has additional responsibilities with respect to the Funds. The Trustees considered the reasonableness of the profits from Tortoise’s service relationship with each of the Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund and Tortoise Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund, and noted that its service relationship with the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund has not been profitable.
The Trustees also considered the annual sub-advisory fee that Tortoise pays to Ecofin under its Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Trustees noted that because the sub-advisory fees are paid by Tortoise, the overall advisory fee paid by the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund is not directly affected by the sub-advisory fees paid to Ecofin. Consequently, the Trustees did not consider the costs of services provided by Ecofin or the profitability of its relationship with the Fund to be material factors for consideration.
Comparative Fee and Expense Data. The Trustees considered a comparative analysis of contractual expenses borne by each Fund and those of funds in the same Category and Cohort as of September 30, 2023.
• | Tortoise Energy Infrastructure Total Return Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expenses for A Class, T Class and Institutional Class were each lower than the Category and Cohort averages. The Trustees also noted that while the total expenses of the C Class were above the Category and Cohort averages, the C Class has a Rule 12b-1 fee, which is not necessarily the case for the funds included in the Category and Cohort. |
• | Tortoise Energy Infrastructure and Income Fund. The Trustee’s noted that the Fund’s management fee was lower than the Cohort average, although higher than the Category average. The Trustees also noted that the Fund’s total expenses for Institutional Class were lower than the Category and Cohort averages, but that the total expenses of the C Class were above the Category and Cohort averages and the total expenses of A Class were above the Cohort average but below the Category average. The Trustees further noted that A Class and C Class each have a Rule 12b-1 fee, which is not necessarily the case for the funds included in the Category and Cohort |
• | Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee and total expenses for Institutional Class were each less than or equal to the Category and Cohort averages. The Trustees also noted that while the total expenses of the A Class were above the Category and Cohort averages, the A Class has a Rule 12b-1 fee, which is not necessarily the case for the funds included in the Category and Cohort. |
While recognizing that it is difficult to compare advisory fees because the scope of advisory services provided may vary from one investment adviser to another, the Trustees concluded that Tortoise’s advisory fee with respect to each Fund continues to be reasonable and that the portion of Tortoise’s advisory fee for the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund that it allocates to the Sub-Adviser continues to be reasonable.
Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether the Funds may benefit from any economies of scale, noting that the investment advisory fees for the Funds do not contain breakpoints. The Trustees also considered that the

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT — Ecofin Advisors Limited (Unaudited) (Continued)
investment advisory fee for each Fund was in the 1st or 2nd quartile of its Category and Cohort. The Trustees further noted that with the current advisory fees set at a competitive level for each Fund, breakpoints were not necessary at this time, but that they would revisit the issue in the future for each of the Funds as circumstances change and asset levels increase.
Other Benefits. The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by the Adviser and its affiliates from its relationship with each Fund. The Trustees also considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by the Sub-Adviser from its relationship with the Ecofin Global Renewables Infrastructure Fund. The Trustees noted that Tortoise and Ecofin do not utilize soft dollar arrangements with respect to portfolio transactions and that Tortoise and Ecofin do not use affiliated brokers to execute any Fund portfolio transactions. While the Trustees noted Rule 12b-1 fees may be paid for shareholder and distribution services performed on behalf of the Funds, the Trustees also observed that Tortoise was incurring its own distribution expenses on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees considered that Tortoise or Ecofin may receive some form of reputational benefit from services rendered to the Funds, but that such benefits are immaterial and cannot otherwise be quantified. The Trustees concluded that Tortoise and Ecofin do not receive additional material benefits from their relationships with the Funds.
