Dear Ms. DiAngelo Fettig:
This correspondence responds to comments
the Trust received from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff” or the “Commission”)
on March 27, 2025, with respect to the Form N-14 Proxy Statement and Prospectus (the “N-14”) regarding the proposed reorganization
of the ATAC Rotation Fund (“Target Fund”), a series of Managed Portfolio Series (“MPS”), into the ATAC Rotation
Fund (“Acquiring Fund”), a newly created series of the Trust.
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
have the same meaning as in the filing.
For your convenience, the comments have
been reproduced with responses following each comment. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined have the same meaning as in the filing.

Response: The Trust responds supplementally

3. Please explain supplementally why the Acquiring Fund’s pro forma fees for Other Expenses, including
interest expense and all other expenses, are less than the Target Fund’s fees.
Response: The Trust responds supplementally
by confirming that estimates for the Acquiring Fund’s interest expense are lower than the Target Fund’s interest expense due
to differences in the contractual borrowing arrangements between the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund. In addition, estimates were prepared
for the Acquiring Fund’s “all other expenses” based contractual fee rates, which resulted in a pro forma amount that
is lower than the Target Fund’s “all other expenses.”
