#### Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund

Dear Shareholders,

The Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund (the "Fund") declined -22.92% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, compared to a -25.26% decline for the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index which measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the US Equity Universe and a -14.61% decline for the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index which tracks the 500 largest publicly traded U.S. Companies. You can not invest directly into an index..

#### Market Perspective
Greed prevailed over fear for the last two months of 2021 as the fear of missing out continued to drive positive market sentiment. The reopen-trade was the primary tailwind for this phenomenon as unprecedented, pent-up consumer demand pulled future earnings forward. The catalyst behind the strong demand was substantial U.S. monetary and fiscal support, as well as a post-pandemic economic normalization that had global implications. As 2021 wound down, investors were willing to overlook decelerating economic growth, supply chain bottlenecks, tightening monetary supply, rising yields and geo-political turmoil.

Fear displaced greed in the first ten months of 2022. The Russian invasion of Ukraine coupled with China's continued COVID shutdown exacerbated supply chain, inflationary and market valuation concerns. The swing in investor sentiment was dramatic and swift as the market delivered the worst returns in a 6-month period in twenty years. The economic whirlwind broadly impacted capital markets with every S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index sector, except Energy (+68.8%), down double-digits through the first ten months of 2022.

#### Performance
For the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022, the Fund's outperformance relative to the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index was positively impacted by an overweight in Financial Services and underweights in the Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors. Stock selections in Materials and Financial Services added to the relative performance, while those in Information Technology and Industrials detracted. The lack of exposure to Energy was a detractor, given it was the strongest performing sector in the fiscal year.

The Fund's underperformance relative to the S&P 500<sup>®</sup> Index in the fiscal year period was due to its lack of exposure to the Energy sector, which was up over 63%, and the stock selection within Information Technology, Industrials and Financials. Additionally, the underweight versus the index in Healthcare detracted from relative returns.

The top contributor to Fund performance for the fiscal year was ***Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B)***. During a time of uncertainty, Berkshire reported strong earnings and grew revenues 12% year-over-year. Operating earnings expanded across all of their major businesses. With its unique collection of publicly traded and privately-owned businesses, and a large hoard of deployable cash, we believe Berkshire offers both sustainable growth and defensiveness in times of economic stress. Other companies that contributed positively to the Fund's performance were ***Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), PepsiCo (PEP)***, and ***The Walt Disney Company (DIS)***.

------

#### Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund

The largest detractor to Fund performance during the fiscal year was ***Adobe Incorporated (ADBE)***. Adobe's stock was pressured by higher interest rates dampening valuations for software equities, as well as by questions surrounding its capital allocation strategy. Specifically, Adobe announced the plan to acquire Figma, a collaborative design software platform, for $20 billion. This raised investor concerns about competitive threats to Adobe's economic moat and management's capital deployment efficiency. We believe Figma competes in an adjacent market to Adobe's Creative Cloud and expect the acquisition to widen its competitive moat long-term. We will closely monitor the integration and execution of the Figma acquisition. Other holdings that negatively weighed on relative performance included ***GXO Logistics Inc (GXO), First Republic Bank (FRC), Alphabet Inc. (GOOG)***, and ***Amazon.com (AMZN)***.

#### Portfolio
Mar Vista's investment process seeks to identify wide-moat growth franchises, with reinvestment opportunities that are led by proven capital allocators. Our portfolio construction process focuses on bottom-up factors, independent of benchmark weights. The outcome of this process is a portfolio of durable growth businesses that have diverse sector exposures. The portfolio's relative sector weights are not an expressed opinion from a macro level, but where the investment team is finding skewed risk-reward opportunities in durable growth franchises.

Relative to the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index, our relative sector weights have generally remained the same over the last fiscal year. We have larger exposures to the Financial Services, Materials, and Industrials sectors. Our Industrials weight increased on an absolute and relative basis during the twelve-month period as we increased the position size in TransDigm Group and initiated a new position in GXO Logistics. The Fund is underweight in the Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare sectors relative to the Russell 1000<sup>®</sup> Growth Index.

Companies added to the Fund during the fiscal year included GXO Logistics and The Walt Disney Company while we sold our positions in Netflix, PayPal, Unilever, Ecolab, Meta, and Vontier.

#### Market Outlook
Over time, the expected returns of our portfolio should reflect two components: (1) the compounding nature of our businesses and (2) the discount we are paying relative to fair value. There will be times when the sentiment pendulum swings towards optimism, and portfolio returns exceed the underlying intrinsic value growth while discounts to intrinsic value contract. Conversely, fear, skepticism and lower stock prices should provide opportunities for both potentially higher expected returns and potentially less risk. As the capital markets have shifted from an era of historically low real interest rates and benign inflation to one with decidedly higher risk-free hurdles and eroding purchasing power, asset valuations, growth expectations and security prices have adjusted rapidly.

------

#### Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund

While our expectations for free cash flow growth are more muted than a year ago due to the more challenging global economy, stock prices have, on average, declined more than our estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the portfolio's average margin of safety, or discount to our estimate of intrinsic value, has expanded to more attractive levels than we've seen in many years. Although we expect continued market volatility, we will continue to implement Mar Vista's consistent, predictable and repeatable investment process. Our process typically leads us to businesses with wide-economic moats, that have abundant high return reinvestment opportunities with proven capital allocators at the helm. We believe that the unemotional implementation of Mar Vista's investment process, coupled with the wider margin of safety we are realizing today, should provide a reasonable backdrop to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over a full economic cycle.

We are ever grateful for the ongoing support from our shareholders, partners and clients. We encourage you to seek additional information about the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund at www.marvistainvestments.com.

Sincerely,

*The Mar Vista Investment Partners Research Team*

Margin of safety – Buying with a "margin of safety," a phrase popularized by Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett, is when a security is purchased for less than its estimated value. This helps protect against permanent capital loss in the case of an unexpected event or analytical mistake. A purchase made with a margin of safety does not guarantee the security will not decline in price.

The above comments reflect general views regarding the market and the economy,were current as of the date of this letter, and are subject to change at any time.

All investing includes risk, including the loss of principal. The Fund invests in growth companies which can be more sensitive to the company's earnings and more volatile than the stock market in general. The Fund may also invest in foreign securities which are subject to risks including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards. The Fund may invest in derivatives and IPOs, which are highly volatile. Additional risk information may be found in the prospectus.

Fund holdings and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. For a complete list of holdings, see the Schedule of Investments on page 8.

This report is intended for shareholders of the Fund and may not be used as sales literature unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

#### NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
The Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund (formerly, the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund) (the "Strategic Growth Fund" or the "Fund") is a series of Manager Directed Portfolios (formerly, The Roxbury Funds) (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 diversified series of the Trust. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. The fund offers 3 classes of shares to investors: the Institutional, Investor, and Retirement classes. The Administrative class was collapsed into the Institutional class prior to conversion and shares were issued based upon the Institutional Shares' net asset value per share. Each class of shares differs principally in its respective distribution or shareholder servicing expenses. Each class of shares has identical rights to earnings, assets and voting privileges, except for class-specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only individual classes.

The Harbor Strategic Growth Fund (or the "Predecessor Fund") is the successor to interest and has the same investment objective that was included as a series of another investment company, Harbor Funds, and that was advised by Harbor Capital and Sub-Advised by the Mar Vista Investment Partners. On July 1, 2022, the shareholders of the Predecessor Fund approved the tax-free reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund, and effective as of the close of business on July 22, 2022, the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares of the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by Mar Vista were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Predecessor Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of Mar Vista's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. Costs incurred by the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund, in connection with the reorganization were paid by the Adviser. The fiscal year end of the Predecessor Fund was October 31, which remained the same. Operations prior to July 22, 2022 were that of the Predecessor Fund. The net assets were $73,590,993, including $26,342,178 of net unrealized appreciation, $56,484 of undistributed net investment income, and $13,509,548 of undistributed net realized gain and shares outstanding were 3,021,636, all of which were transferred into the Trust at NAV at the close of business on July 22, 2022.

#### 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" including FASB Accounting Standard Update ASU 2013-08.

|:---|:---|
| A. | *Security Valuation:* All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3. |
| B. | *Federal Income Taxes:* It is the Fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required. |
|  | The 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 to be 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. |
| C. | *Securities Transactions, Income and Distributions:* Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. |
|  | The Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, and net realized capital gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes. The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which differ from GAAP. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax treatment. |
|  | Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of the Fund's shares based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred. |
|  | The 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 the 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. *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.

F. *Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:* In preparing the financial statements as of October 31, 2022, 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 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.

*Equity Securities:* Equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, foreign-issued common stocks, exchange-traded funds, closed-end mutual funds and real estate investment trusts (REITs), that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the

mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. Over-the-counter securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Registered Investment Companies:* Investments in registered investment companies (e.g., mutual funds) are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the applicable registered investment company's service agent and will be classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

*Short-Term Debt Securities:* Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued at the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved pricing service. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. In the absence of prices from a pricing service, the securities will be priced in accordance with the procedures adopted by the Board. Short-term securities are generally classified in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair market hierarchy depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.

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

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

#### NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
For the fiscal year period October 31, 2022, Mar Vista Investment Partners, (the "Advisor") provided the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement.

#### NOTE 5 – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the "Plan"). The Plan permits the Fund to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund's Investor Shares and Administrative Shares. The expenses covered by the Plan may include costs in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022, the Strategic Growth Fund incurred distribution expenses of $2,131 on its Investor Shares and $79 on its Administrative Shares.

#### NOTE 6 – SHAREHOLDER SERVICING FEE

#### NOTE 9 – SECURITIES LENDING
The Fund participates in securities lending arrangements whereby it lends certain of its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (not with individuals) in order to receive additional income and increase the rate of return of its portfolio. U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as the Fund's securities lending agent.

U.S. Bank, N.A. oversees the securities lending process, which includes the screening, selection and ongoing review of borrowers, monitoring the availability of securities, negotiating rebates, daily marking to market of loans, monitoring and maintaining cash collateral levels, processing securities movements and reinvesting cash collateral as directed by the Adviser.

The Fund may lend securities pursuant to agreements that require the loans to be secured by collateral consisting of cash, securities of the U.S. Government or it agencies, or any combination of cash and such securities. At that time of loans, the collateral value should at least be equal to 102% of domestic securities and 105% of foreign securities. The value of loaned securities will then be marked-to-market daily and the collateral will be continuously secured by collateral equal to 100% of the market value of the loaned securities. Such loans will not be made if, as a result, the aggregate amount of all outstanding securities loans for the Fund exceeds one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets taken at fair market value. The Fund will earn interest on the investment of the cash collateral in U.S. Government securities, short-term money market instruments or such other approved vehicle. However, the Fund will normally pay lending fees to such broker-dealers and related expenses from the interest earned on invested collateral. There may be risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or risks of delay in recovery of the securities and even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans are made only to borrowers deemed by the adviser to be of good standing and when, in the judgment of the adviser, the consideration that can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risk. Either party, upon reasonable notice to the other party, may terminate the loan.

As of October 31, 2022, the Fund had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in securities as listed in the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

#### NOTE 10 – 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.

*General Market Risk; Recent Market Events:* The value of the Fund's shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund's investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. 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.

U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, business interruptions, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, layoffs, rising unemployment claims, changed travel and social behaviors and reduced consumer spending. The effects of COVID-19 may lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies, the recovery from which is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time.

*Small-Cap Company Risk:* Companies in which the Fund invests may be more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. Small-cap companies may also have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources, may be dependent on relatively small or inexperienced management groups, and may operate in industries characterized by rapid technological obsolescence. Securities of such companies may be less liquid, more volatile and more difficult to value than securities of larger companies and therefore may involve greater risk than investing in large companies.

------

#### Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund

| |

| **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** |
| **October 31, 2022** |

---

*Growth-Style Investing Risk:* An investment in a growth-oriented fund may be more volatile than the rest of the U.S. market as a whole. If the investment adviser's assessment of a company's prospects for earnings growth or how other investors will value the company's earnings growth is incorrect, the stock may fail to reach the value that the adviser has placed on it. Growth stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market.

*Foreign Security Risk:* Foreign investments involve risks relating to political, economic, regulatory, or social instability, military action or unrest, or diplomatic developments and may be affected by actions of foreign governments adverse to the interest of U.S. investors.

*IPO Risk:* The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings ("IPOs"). The price of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The Fund's investments in IPO shares may include the securities of "unseasoned" companies (companies with less than three years of continuous operations), which present risks considerably greater than common stocks of more established companies. These companies may be involved in new and evolving businesses and may be vulnerable to competition and changes in technology, markets and economic conditions. They may be more dependent on key managers and third parties and may have limited product lines. The effect of IPO investments on a Fund's performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of IPOs the Fund invests in relative to the size of the Fund, and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. When the Fund's asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund's performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund's asset grow, the effect of the Fund's investments in IPOs on the Fund's performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund's performance.

*Liquidity Risk:* Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the seller would like. While the markets in securities of small companies have grown rapidly in recent years, such securities may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than more widely held securities. The values of these securities may fluctuate more sharply than those of other securities, and the Fund may experience some difficulty in establishing or closing out positions in these securities at prevailing market prices. There may be less publicly available information about the issuers of these securities or less market interest in such securities than in the case of larger companies, and it may take a longer period of time for the prices of such securities to reflect the full value of their issuers' underlying earnings potential or assets.

*Mutual Fund and ETF Trading Risk:* The Fund may invest in other mutual funds that are either open-end or closed-end investment companies as well as Exchange Traded Funds ("ETFs"). ETFs are investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade at the net asset

------

---

| |
|:---|
| **NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)** |
| **October 31, 2022** |

---

values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF could potentially trade above or below the value of the underlying portfolios. Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject to trading and commission costs unlike mutual funds. Also, both mutual funds and ETFs have management fees that are part of its costs, and the Fund will indirectly bear their proportionate share of the costs.

#### NOTE 11 – GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters 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 12 – CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of October 31, 2022, Pershing LLC held 29% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Fund has no knowledge as to whether all or any portion of the shares owned of record by Pershing LLC are also beneficially owned.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**<br>

#### To the Board of Trustees of Manager Directed Portfolios

#### and the Shareholders of the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in Manager Directed Portfolios (the "***Fund***"), including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations, statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year 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 October 31, 2022, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statement of change in net assets for the year ended October 31, 2021, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four year period then ended, were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 21, 2021, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statement and 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 audit. 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 law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risk 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 October 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

**CHANGE IN INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**<br>

The Fund has selected BBD, LLP ("BBD") to serve as the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2022. The decision to select BBD was recommended by the Fund's Audit Committee and was approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees on May 17, 2022. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, neither the Fund, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with BBD on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund's financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as defined in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of said Item 304). The selection of BBD does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Fund or the Fund's Board of Trustees with the performance of the Fund's prior independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP ("EY"), for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. EY has since resigned as the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the Fund. EY's report on the Fund's financial statements for fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim period through December 21, 2021 (i) there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports on the Fund's financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no "reportable events" of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

| **EXPENSE EXAMPLE** |
| **October 31, 2022 (Unaudited)** |

---

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including sales charges (loads) and redemption fees, if applicable; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1 fees); and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period indicated and held for the entire period from April 30, 2022, to October 31, 2022 for the Institutional, Investor, and Retirement Shares.

#### 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.

| **APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT** |
| (Unaudited) |

---

The Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") of Manager Directed Portfolios (the "Trust") met on May 17, 2022 to consider the initial approval of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") between the Trust, on behalf of the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund (the "Fund"), a new series of the Trust, and the Fund's investment adviser, Mar Vista Investment Partners, LLC ("Mar Vista"). In approving the Advisory Agreement, the Board relied on an SEC order issued on June 19, 2020 that conditionally exempts registered investment companies from in-person voting requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As part of the meeting, and at a prior meeting held on February 15, 2022, the Trustees, all of whom are not "interested persons," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Trustees"), requested and received materials to assist it in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including copies of the Advisory Agreement, a memorandum prepared by the Trust's outside legal counsel discussing the Board's fiduciary obligations and the factors the Board should consider in considering the approval of the Advisory Agreement, information relating to the past performance of Mar Vista and the performance of the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund (the predecessor to the Fund), as well as the proposed management fee of the Fund, due diligence materials relating to Mar Vista, including Form ADV, information regarding Mar Vista's compliance program, personnel and financial condition, and other pertinent information. The Board also reviewed the advisory fee payable by the Fund under the Advisory Agreement, the expense cap agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and Mar Vista, and comparative fee and expense information provided by Morningstar.

The Board noted that they had met with representatives of Mar Vista as part of the February 15, 2022 meeting to discuss the Fund's proposed strategy and risks, Mar Vista's investment experience, Mar Vista's prior performance for similar strategies, Mar Vista's compliance program and other matters relevant to the launch of the Fund. The Board also considered its prior experience with Mar Vista and the predecessor to the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund when it was a series of the Trust, prior to its reorganization into a series of Harbor Funds in 2017. Based on their evaluation of the information provided, the Trustees approved the Advisory Agreement for an initial two year term. Below is a summary of the material factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board's approval of the Advisory Agreement.

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

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services that would be provided by Mar Vista to the Fund. The Board considered the services to be provided by Mar Vista, including shareholder servicing and marketing, as well as portfolio

------

---

| |
|:---|
| **APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)** |
| (Unaudited) |

---

management, strategy implementation, research, trading and compliance services. The Trustees considered the responsibilities of Mar Vista in the day to day management of the Fund, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of key personnel at Mar Vista who would be involved in the day to day activities of the Fund, including Messrs. Silas Meyers, Brian Massey, Joshua Honeycutt, and Jeffrey Prestine, who would serve as the portfolio managers of the Fund. The Trustees noted that Mar Vista was formed in 2007 and had served as the investment adviser and, before that, sub-adviser to a former series of the Trust. The Board considered Mar Vista's experience managing equity securities and its strategic growth strategy. The Board also considered the structure of Mar Vista's compliance program and marketing strategy for the Fund.

The Trustees reviewed the information provided by Mar Vista in response to the due diligence questionnaire and other information provided by Mar Vista. The Trustees, in consultation with counsel to the Independent Trustees and the Trust's CCO, reviewed the compliance program maintained by Mar Vista, including Mar Vista's code of ethics and other key policies, and considered the finding of the Trust's CCO that Mar Vista's compliance program was compliant with Rule 206(4) 7(a) under the Advisers Act. The Trustees concluded that Mar Vista had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods, and compliance policies and procedures necessary to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality, and extent of the management services to be provided by Mar Vista to the Fund were satisfactory.

2. INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISER

The Trustees noted Mar Vista currently acts as a sub-adviser to the predecessor fund, the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund, a series of Harbor Funds, which has a comprehensive operating history. The Board considered the investment performance of the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund and its predecessor fund since its inception in 2011. The Board also considered historical performance information for accounts managed by Mar Vista in the same or similar strategies as the Fund. The Board determined that Mar Vista has sufficient investment management experience to oversee the Fund.

3. COSTS OF SERVICES PROVIDED AND PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER

The Trustees considered Mar Vista's estimated expenses in managing the Fund and the proposed management fee to be paid to Mar Vista by the Fund. The Trustees considered Mar Vista's financial condition. The Trustees also considered the projected profitability of Mar Vista under the Advisory Agreement in the Fund's first year of operations.

The Trustees considered the fees and expenses of the Fund relative to a peer group of US large growth funds, as compiled by Morningstar (the "Morningstar Peer Group"). The

------

---

| |
|:---|
| **APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Continued)** |
| (Unaudited) |

---

Board considered the Fund's proposed management fee of 0.60% of the average annual net assets of the Fund, noting the fee was below the Morningstar Peer Group average. The Trustees considered that Mar Vista had agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses for an initial term of two years and that the total net expense ratio for the Investor Class of the Fund was above the Morningstar Peer Group average while the Institutional and Retirement Classes of the Fund were below the Morningstar Peer Group average.

The Trustees also considered Mar Vista's commentary regarding the Fund's proposed advisory fee and the fee structure for its sub-advisory services to other mutual funds, noting the additional services provided by Mar Vista as investment adviser to the Fund.

The Trustees concluded the Fund's expenses and the management fee to be paid to Mar Vista under the Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable in light of the quality of services to be provided to the Fund. The Trustees further concluded that Mar Vista had sufficient financial resources to support its services to the Fund.

4. EXTENT OF ECONOMIES OF SCALE AS THE FUND GROWS

The Trustees compared the Fund's proposed expenses relative to the Morningstar Peer Group and considered potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of the Fund's management fee and whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale would be shared with shareholders). The Trustees noted that the Fund's management fee structure did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Fund's assets grow in size, and that the possibility of incorporating breakpoints could be reviewed in the future should assets grow significantly. The Trustees concluded that the proposed fee structure was reasonable.

5. BENEFITS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUND

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be realized by Mar Vista from its association with the Fund. The Trustees concluded the soft dollar research benefits Mar Vista may receive appear to be reasonable and may benefit the Fund.

CONCLUSION

In considering the 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 Advisory Agreement for an initial two year term as being in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

All of the principal accountant's hours spent on auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or 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. 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.

#### Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers

**I.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **COVERED OFFICERS/ PURPOSE OF THE CODE**

This code of ethics (the "Code") for Manager Directed Portfolios (the "Trust") applies to the Trust's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the "Covered Officers," each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:

**A.** honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

**B.** full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Trust files with or submits to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and in other public communications made by the Trust;

**C.** compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

**D.** the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

**E.** accountability for adherence to the Code.

Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**II.** **COVERED OFFICERS SHOULD HANDLE ETHICALLY ACTUAL AND APPARENT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST** 

Overview. A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of or his service to the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer or a member of his family receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Trust.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Trust and are already subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Trust because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Trust. The Trust's and the investment adviser's compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent or identify and correct violations of these provisions. This Code does not and is not intended to repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from or as a result of the contractual relationship between the Trust and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for the adviser or for both) be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Trust's Board of Trustees ("Board") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes. Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

Each Covered Officer must:

**A.** not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust;

**B.** not cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Trust; and

**C.** not use material nonpublic knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Trust to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

There are some conflict of interest situations that may be discussed with counsel if material. Examples of these include:

**A.** service as a director on the board of any public or private company;

**B.** the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

**C.** the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Trust has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;

**D.** any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust's service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated persons thereof; and

**E.** a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

**III.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **DISCLOSURE AND COMPLIANCE**

**A.** Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Trust;

**B.** each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Trust to others, whether within or outside the Trust, including to the Trust's Trustees and auditors, governmental regulators, and self-regulatory organizations;

**C.** each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Trust and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Trust files with or submit to the SEC and in other public communications made by the Trust; and

**D.** it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws rules and regulations.

**IV.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **REPORTING AND ACCOUNTABILITY**

Each Covered Officer must:

**A.** upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board that he has received, read, and understands the Code (See Exhibit B);

**B.** annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code (See Exhibit B);

**C.** not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith; and

**D.** notify the Trust's compliance officer promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code. Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.

The compliance officer is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Covered Officer will be considered by the Board.

The Trust will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

**A.** The compliance officer will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him.

**B.** If, after such investigation, the compliance officer believes that no violation has occurred, the compliance officer is not required to take any further action.

**C.** Any matter that the compliance officer believes is a violation will be reported to the Board.

**D.** If the Board concurs that a violation has occurred, it will consider appropriate action, which may include review of and appropriate modifications to applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Covered Officer.

**E.** The Board will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate.

**F.** Any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

**V.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **OTHER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES**

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Trust for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Trust, the Trust's adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Trust's and its investment adviser's codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and the adviser's more detailed policies and procedures are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.

**VI.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **AMENDMENTS**

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent Trustees.

**VII.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; **CONFIDENTIALITY**

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board and its counsel.

**VIII. INTERNAL USE**

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Manager Directed Portfolios

## Exhibit 99.13

#### Change in Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On July 1, 2022, shareholders of the Harbor Strategic Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") approved the tax-free reorganization of the Predecessor Fund with and into the Mar Vista Strategic Growth Fund ("Successor Fund"). On July 22, 2022, the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund were transferred to the Trust in exchange for shares of the Successor Fund. The Predecessor Fund was deemed to be the accounting survivor for financial reporting purposes. Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") served as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Predecessor Fund. As a result of the tax-free reorganization, EY's services were no longer required as the Board of Trustees of the Successor Fund had previously appointed BBD, LLP ("BBD") as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Successor Fund for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2022, effective May 17, 2022.

EY's reports on the Predecessor Fund's financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021 and during the subsequent interim period through July 22, 2022: (i) there were no disagreements with EY on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of EY, would have caused EY to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the Predecessor Fund's financial statements for such periods; and (ii) there were no "reportable events" of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

During the Predecessor Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, and the subsequent interim period through July 22, 2022, neither the Trust, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with BBD on items which: (i) concerned the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Fund's financial statements; or (ii) concerned the subject of a disagreement (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or reportable events (as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of said Item 304).

The Predecessor Fund requested that EY furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether EY agrees with the statements contained above. A copy of the letter from EY to the Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as an exhibit hereto.
