[2] Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are the estimated indirect costs of investing in other investment companies and do not include the cost of investing in underlying funds, like commodity pools, that are not investment companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Funds financial highlights because the financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund.
[3] The Fund's adviser, Pinnacle Family Advisors, LLC, has contractually agreed to waive management fees and to make payments to limit Fund expenses, until July 31, 2014 so that the total annual operating expenses (exclusive of any taxes, short selling expenses, interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund may invest, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) of the Fund do not exceed 1.49%, 2.24% and 1.24% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A, C and I shares, respectively. These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund in future years on a rolling three-year basis (within the three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed) if such recoupment can be achieved, within the foregoing expense limits. This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the Adviser.

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 remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based upon these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example Pinnacle Tactical Allocation Fund (USD $)
1 Year
3 Years
Class A Shares
766 1,202
Class C Shares
278 890
Class I Shares
178 589

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 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.

Principal Investment Strategies:

The Fund seeks to meet its investment objective by investing, under normal market conditions in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) that may invest in all major asset classes including, but not limited to, foreign and domestic (i) equity securities of all market capitalizations, (ii) fixed income securities of any credit quality, (iii) commodities, (iv) derivatives and (v) cash. The Fund intends to generally invest in a mix of asset classes with an emphasis on equity and fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in cash directly. The foreign securities held by the underlying ETFs may include those in emerging markets.

 

The Fund’s adviser periodically (generally, monthly) performs a technical analysis on the relative strengths of ETFs that invest in the major asset classes, described in the first paragraph above, including their short term volatility and short term performance, and rebalances the Fund’s portfolio accordingly. Typically, the ETFs in the Fund’s portfolio are in the top quartile of ETFs based on the Adviser’s analysis.

Principal Investment Risks:

As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the Fund’s net asset value and performance.

 

Commodity Risk: Commodities markets may subject to greater volatility than traditional securities. Commodity prices may be influenced by unfavorable weather, animal and plant disease, geologic and environmental factors as well as changes in government regulation such as tariffs, embargoes or burdensome production rules and restrictions.

 

Credit Risk: Issuers may not make interest or principal payments on securities, resulting in losses to the Fund. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by the Fund may be lowered if an issuer's financial condition changes. These risks are more pronounced for securities with lower credit quality, such as those rated below BBB- by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or another credit rating agency.

 

Derivatives Risk: The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities including leverage risk and counterparty default risk.

 

Emerging Market Risk: Emerging market countries may have relatively unstable governments, weaker economies, and less-developed legal systems with fewer security holder rights. Emerging market economies may be based on only a few industries and security issuers may be more susceptible to economic weakness and more likely to default. Emerging market securities also tend to be less liquid.

 

Equity Risk: The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the equity securities held by the underlying ETFs that invest in U.S. and/or foreign equity securities. Equity prices can fall rapidly in response to developments affecting a specific company or industry, or to changing economic, political or market conditions.

 

ETF Risk. ETFs are subject to investment advisory and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by the Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs and may be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in securities. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on its investments.

 

Fixed Income Risk: Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. The value of fixed income securities typically falls when an issuer's credit quality declines and may even become worthless if an issuer defaults.

 

Foreign Currency Risk: Currency trading risks include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Market risk results from adverse changes in exchange rates in the currencies the Fund is long or short. Credit risk results because a currency-trade counterparty may default. Country risk arises because a government may interfere with transactions in its currency.

 

Foreign Investment Risk: Foreign investing (including through ADRs, EDRs and GDRs) involves risks not typically associated with U.S. investments, including adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values, adverse political, social and economic developments, less liquidity, greater volatility, less developed or less efficient trading markets, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Investing in emerging markets imposes different or greater risks than those associated with foreign developed countries.

 

High Yield (Junk) Bond Risk: Lower-quality fixed income securities, known as “high yield” or “junk” bonds, present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk of default. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these bonds and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell its bonds. The lack of a liquid market for these bonds could decrease the Fund’s share price.

 

o Defaulted Securities Risk: Repayment of defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers (including insolvent issuers or issuers in payment or covenant default, in workout or restructuring or in bankruptcy or in solvency proceedings) is subject to significant uncertainties. Investments in defaulted securities and obligations of distressed issuers are considered speculative.

 

Issuer-Specific Risk: The value of securities of smaller issuers can be more volatile than those of larger issuers. The value of certain types of securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.

 

Limited History of Operations: The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operation.

 

Management Risk: The Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of particular asset classes and securities in which the Fund invests (long or short) may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired results.

 

Market Risk: Overall securities and derivatives market risks may affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. Factors such as domestic and foreign economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the securities and derivatives markets. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.

 

New Adviser Risk: The adviser is a newly created investment adviser and has not previously managed a mutual fund.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk: A higher portfolio turnover will result in higher transactional and brokerage costs.

 

Small and Medium Capitalization Risk: The value of small or medium capitalization companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than those of larger, more established companies or the market averages in general.

 

Sovereign Debt Risk: The issuer of the foreign debt or the governmental authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Fund may have limited recourse in the event of a default. The market prices of sovereign debt, and the Fund’s net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations and certain emerging markets may encounter difficulties in servicing their debt obligations.

 

U.S. Government Obligations Risk: U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. government and generally have negligible credit risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. The Fund may be subject to such risk to the extent it invests in securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities and U.S. government-sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises.
