Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement      1.39%   1.14%  

(a) The Fund’s adviser, Keeley Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”), has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee or reimburse the Fund to the extent that total ordinary operating expenses during the current fiscal year as a percentage of average net assets for the Fund exceed 1.39% for Class A Shares and 1.14% for Class I Shares. The waiver excludes expenses related to taxes, interest charges, dividend expenses incurred on securities that the Fund sells short, litigation expenses, other extraordinary expenses, any costs that the Fund incurs from investments in other investment companies, and brokerage commissions and other charges relating to the purchase and sale of the Fund’s portfolio securities. The waiver is in effect through January 31, 2016, and neither the Adviser nor the Fund can discontinue the agreement prior to its expiration.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement in the first year and the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses thereafter. This example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay to buy and sell Shares. Although your actual costs could be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, 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 43.10% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND POLICIES

The Fund intends to pursue its investment objective by investing in equity securities of companies with small or mid-sized market capitalizations. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest no less than 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks and other equity type securities (including preferred stock, convertible debt securities and warrants) of “small cap” or “mid cap” companies, which the Adviser currently defines as $7.5 billion or less at the time of investment.

In making investment decisions for the Fund, the Adviser employs a “value” investment philosophy, which is based upon the belief that, at times, the market value of an asset may deviate from its underlying (“intrinsic”) value, and that the market price and the intrinsic value should converge over the long-term. The Adviser focuses its attention on particular kinds of undervalued stocks and constructs the Fund’s portfolio using a rigorous, “bottom-up” investment process that concentrates on individual companies (rather than on macroeconomic trends), particularly those undergoing major changes (for example, corporate restructuring), including:

 

   

corporate spin-offs (tax-free distributions of a parent company’s division to shareholders);

 

   

financial restructuring, including acquisitions, recapitalizations and companies emerging from bankruptcy;

 

   

savings and loan and insurance conversions from mutual to stock companies; and

 

   

event driven, special situations that may create enhanced opportunities through industry and/or corporate dislocation (for example, overall industry change or restructuring, the presence of undervalued assets, or corporate or management change).

As part of this process, the Adviser conducts extensive research into, and analyses of, each candidate company’s business fundamentals, seeking undervalued companies that meet certain criteria identified by the Adviser from time to time. Each stock is judged on its potential for above-average capital appreciation. The Adviser does not take into account current dividend or interest income when choosing securities for the Fund. The Adviser continuously monitors each holding in the Fund’s portfolio and adjusts its view on the intrinsic value of such securities, as necessary, to reflect changes in a company’s fundamentals.

It is the Adviser’s intention for the Fund typically to hold securities for more than two years to allow the corporate restructuring process to yield results. The Adviser usually sells a stock when the market price meets or exceeds the Adviser’s estimate of the stock’s intrinsic value. However, the Adviser may sell securities for a number of reasons, including when a more attractive opportunity emerges, when a company’s fundamentals deteriorate and impair the long-term quality of the company’s business, when a company becomes over-weighted in the portfolio, when operating difficulties or other circumstances make selling desirable, or when the Adviser’s investment thesis otherwise no longer holds for the security.

As long as an investment continues to meet the Fund’s criteria set forth above, the Fund may choose to hold such securities even if the company grows beyond the $7.5 billion capitalization level. If less than 80% of the Fund’s net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) are invested in such companies, the Fund will not invest in companies other than those with a small market capitalization until the 80% threshold is restored.

The Fund may be suitable for the more aggressive section of an investor’s portfolio. The Fund is designed for people who want to grow their capital over the long-term and who are comfortable with possible frequent short-term changes in the value of their investment. An investment in the Fund should not be considered a complete investment program.

KEELEY Small-Mid Cap Value Fund

Summary Prospectus January 31, 2015

Class (A) Shares: KSMVX

Class (I) Shares: KSMIX

MAIN RISKS

Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund.

Equity Risk. The Fund is subject to the typical risks of equity investing, which include, but are not limited to: loss of money, company-specific risks, the effects of interest rate fluctuations, investor psychology and negative market or other general economic news. The value of your investment will increase or decrease, so your shares may be worth more or less money than your original investment.

Small and Mid Capitalization Company Risk. Investing in securities of small- and mid-cap companies presents more risks than investing in securities of more established or large-cap companies. Smaller companies often have more limited resources and greater variation in operating results, leading to greater price volatility. Trading volumes may be lower, making such securities less liquid. Small- and mid-cap companies may have a shorter history of operations or less diversified product lines—making them more susceptible to market pressures. During some periods, stocks of small and mid-sized companies, as an asset class, have underperformed the stocks of larger companies.

“Value Style” Investing Risk. Investing in undervalued companies, including companies undergoing restructuring or emerging from bankruptcy, presents special risks, since these companies must overcome the investing public’s negative perceptions, which may have resulted from any number of catalysts or events, including but not limited to, declarations of bankruptcy or corporate restructurings. Often, such companies are subject to specific plans imposed by their lenders that they must meet in a fairly short time frame. Generally, companies going through corporate restructuring are more likely than others to remain undervalued. “Value style” investing may fall out of favor with investors and underperform other investment styles. Moreover, there can be no guarantee that the company’s market price will appreciate toward its intrinsic value, as estimated by the Adviser.

Market Sector Concentration Risk. In pursuing its investment strategy, the Fund, at times, may concentrate its investments in the securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector. By concentrating its investments in an industry or sector, the Fund may face more risks than if it were diversified broadly over numerous industries or sectors. Such industry-based risks may include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions or cyclical market patterns that could negatively affect supply and demand in a particular industry; competition for resources; adverse labor relations; political events; obsolescence of technologies; and increased competition. In addition, at times, an industry or sector may be out of favor and underperform other industries or the market as a whole.

PERFORMANCE

The following performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart below shows how the Fund’s total return has varied from year to year. The table compares the Fund’s performance with that of the Russell 2500® Value Index, an index that measures the performance of the small- to mid-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values. While the information shown in the bar chart and the table gives you some idea of the risks involved in investing in the Fund, please remember that past performance (before and after taxes) does not guarantee future results. Updated performance information is available at www.keeleyfunds.com or toll-free at 1-888-933-5391.
