This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, extraordinary expenses, fees and expenses paid under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, and indirect expenses (such as "Acquired Funds Fees and Expenses"). Prior to December 13, 2012, the expense cap was 2.20%. The Adviser may be entitled to the reimbursement of any fees waived or expenses reimbursed pursuant to the agreement provided overall expenses fall below the limitations set forth above.

While the Fund will continue to invest in exchange-traded funds that invest primarily in foreign securities, it will no longer be subject to the requirement to invest at least 40% of its net assets in such exchange-traded funds. CHANGE IN FUND NAME The Board approved a change in the Fund's name from the Longview Global Allocation Fund to the "Longview Tactical Allocation Fund." The investment adviser to the Fund believes that this name change better describes the Fund's multi-asset class flexibility.
