The Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 224.14% of the average value of its portfolio. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'calibri','sans-serif';margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;text-autospace:none">  <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'calibri','sans-serif';margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height: normal;text-autospace:none">  <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'calibri','sans-serif';margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal;text-autospace:none">Please retain this Supplement with your Prospectus. <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'calibri','sans-serif';margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal;text-autospace:none">  <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'calibri','sans-serif';margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt; text-align:center;line-height:normal;text-autospace:none">    TEBRX 0.0000 0.0000 0.0000 <div> <div style="display:none;" >~ http://www.tebergfund.com/20121219/role/ShareholderFeesData_P0001-S000005071Member row primary compact * row dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member column rr_ProspectusShareClassAxis compact * column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member ~</div> </div> 0.0150 0.0000 0.0055 0.0205 0.0067 0.0272 -0.0034 0.0238 <div> <div style="display:none;" >~ http://www.tebergfund.com/20121219/role/OperatingExpensesData_P0001-S000005071Member row primary compact * row dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member column rr_ProspectusShareClassAxis compact * column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member ~</div> </div> 241 812 1410 3026 <div> <div style="display:none;" >~ http://www.tebergfund.com/20121219/role/ExpenseExample_P0001-S000005071Member row primary compact * row dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member column rr_ProspectusShareClassAxis compact * column dei_LegalEntityAxis compact ck0001027596_S000005071Member ~</div> </div> While the Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 Distribution Plan which authorizes the payment of up to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for distribution and servicing activities, the Fund has determined not to pay any Rule 12b-1 fees through at least July 28, 2014. Other Expenses have been restated to reflect current fees as if they had been in effect during the previous fiscal year. The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund do not correlate to the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Before Expense Waiver provided in the Financial Highlights section of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the current operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”). First Associated Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fees and pay expenses of the Fund to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect through at least July 28, 2014, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Advisor may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or paid, subject to the Expense Cap. Additionally, the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee in the amount of any Rule 12b-1 fees received from transactions involving the Fund. The Advisor will pay to the Fund the amount of any such Rule 12b-1 fees and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, this amounted to 0.04%. This management fee reduction will remain in effect at least through July 28, 2022, and may be terminated only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
