Nuance Mid Cap Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)
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. The Nuance Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series with its own investment objectives and policies within the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies. The Fund commenced operations on May 31, 2011. The Fund currently offers three classes, the Investor Class, the Institutional Class and the Z Class. Investor Class shares may be subject to a front-end sales charge of up to 5.00%. Investor Class shares are subject to a 0.25% of average daily net assets of distribution and servicing fee and Investor Class and Institutional Class shares are subject to a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.15% of average daily net assets. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges with respect to voting on matters affecting a single share class. The Fund 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 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”).
Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund complies with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distributes substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended October 31, 2024, the Fund 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 Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended October 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Security Transactions, Income and Distributions – The Fund follows industry practice and records 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 is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the 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 of calculation.
The Fund will make distributions, if any, of net investment income quarterly. The Fund will also distribute net realized capital gains, if any, 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 from their 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 values per share of the Fund.
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.

Nuance Mid Cap Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
October 31, 2024 (Unaudited)(Continued)
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 Fund 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 the 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 relative net assets. 12b-1 fees are expensed at 0.25% of average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. Shareholder service fees are expensed at up to 0.15% of average daily net assets for Investor and Institutional shares. 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.
3. SECURITIES VALUATION
The Fund has adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in 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. The Fund’s investments are carried at fair value.
Equity Securities – 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 and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. 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.
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has adopted a pricing and valuation policy for use by the Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating the Fund’s NAV. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has designated Nuance Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) as its “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.

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Trust has an agreement with Nuance Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equal to 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Fund’s Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and reimburse the Fund for its expenses to ensure that total annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, leverage, interest, dividend and interest expense on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) for the Fund do not exceed 1.18%, 0.78% and 0.93% of average daily net assets of the Fund’s Investor Class, Z Class and Institutional Class, respectively. 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 and reimbursement occurred. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is intended to be continual in nature and cannot be terminated within a year after the effective date of the Fund’s prospectus. After that date, the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board or the Adviser, with the consent of the Board. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Adviser did not recoup any previously waived expenses. Waived fees and reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery by year of expiration are as follows:
| | | |
November 2024 – April 2025 | | | $103,855 |
May 2025 – April 2026 | | | $173,502 |
May 2026 – April 2027 | | | $171,439 |

| | | |
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, (“Fund Services” or the “Administrator”), acts as the Fund’s Administrator, Transfer Agent, and Fund Accountant. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as the custodian to the Fund. The Custodian is an affiliate of the Administrator. The Administrator performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. 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; coordinates the payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust, including the Chief Compliance Officer are employees of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund, subject to annual minimums. Fees paid by the Fund for administration and accounting, transfer agency, custody and compliance services for the period ended October 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations as fund services fees.
5. DISTRIBUTION & SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEES
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”) in the Investor Class only. The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Investor Class average daily net assets. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost of preparing and distributing prospectuses and other sales material, advertising and public relations expenses, payments to financial intermediaries and compensation

of personnel involved in selling shares of the Fund. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Investor Class incurred expenses of $43,384 pursuant to the Plan.
The Fund has entered into a shareholder servicing agreement (the “Agreement”) where the Adviser acts as the shareholder agent, under which the Fund may pay servicing fees at an annual rate of up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each class. Payments, if any, to the Adviser under the Agreement may reimburse the Adviser for payments it makes to selected brokers, dealers and administrators which have entered into service agreements with the Adviser for services provided to shareholders of the Fund. Payments may also be made directly to the intermediaries providing shareholder services. The services provided by such intermediaries are primarily designed to assist shareholders of the Fund and include the furnishing of office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel and assistance to the Fund in servicing such shareholders. Services provided by such intermediaries also include the provision of support services to the Fund and includes establishing and maintaining shareholders’ accounts and record processing, purchase and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries regarding the Fund, and providing such other personal services to shareholders as the Fund may reasonably request. For the period ended October 31, 2024, the Investor and Institutional Class incurred $26,030 and $598,283, respectively, of shareholder servicing fees under the Agreement.

8. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION
The aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities held by the Fund and the total cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at April 30, 2024, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | |
$148,968,505 | | | $(162,363,020) | | | $(13,394,515) | | | $2,386,412,896 |
| | | | | | | | | |
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the deferral of wash sale losses. At April 30, 2024, components of distributed earnings on a tax-basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
$15,651,239 | | | $ — | | | $(39,262,852) | | | $(13,394,515) | | | $(37,006,128) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of April 30, 2024, the Fund’s most recent fiscal year end, the Fund had $28,805,699 in short term capital loss carryovers and $7,914,299 in long term capital loss carryovers. For the year ended April 30, 2024 the Fund utilized $42,558,684 in capital loss carryforwards. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year.
