The Fund's adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 31, 2014 to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any 12b-1 fees, interest expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 2.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively.  This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the Fund's 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:

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 operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.


PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:

The Fund invests in long positions in equity securities of American and Canadian companies identified by the Fund's investment adviser (AMH Equity, Ltd. or "AMH") as undervalued and takes short positions in equity securities that AMH has identified as overvalued.  The Fund invests, both long and short, primarily in securities principally traded in the United States markets.  AMH will determine the size of each long or short position by analyzing the tradeoff between the attractiveness of each position and its impact on the risk of the overall portfolio.  AMH examines various factors in determining the value characteristics of such issuers including net cash per share, price-to-sales ratios, price-to-tangible book value ratios and price-to-earnings ratios. These value characteristics are examined in the context of the issuer's operating and financial fundamentals such as length of operating history, return on equity, earnings growth and cash flow growth.  AMH generally meets with company management at investment conferences, through site visits or by teleconference, and often speaks with company suppliers, customers and/or competitors as part of its research process.  Additionally, AMH screens securities for the Fund based on a continuous study of trends in industries and company-specific earnings, cash flow power and growth of sales and earnings per share.  AMH may buy index-based exchange traded funds ("ETFs") to gain market exposure.  Additionally, AMH may also sell short ETFs or buy inverse ETFs, including leveraged inverse ETFs, to hedge overall equity market risk when it believes market conditions are unfavorable.  

The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in equity securities of companies located outside of the U.S. or Canada through American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") traded on a U.S. exchange and through equity securities traded on a foreign exchange outside of the U.S. or Canada.  AMH selects equity securities without restriction as to market capitalization, although it anticipates that a significant portion of the Fund's assets will be invested in long positions in equity securities of smaller issuers (issuers with a market capitalization below $1.5 billion at the time of investment).  The Fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in a few sectors, such as information technology, healthcare, energy/alternative energy, consumer cyclicals, and industrials.  When AMH believes market conditions are appropriate, the Fund may borrow money from banks to make additional portfolio investments.  The Fund may borrow an amount equal to as much as one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes the amount borrowed).  The Fund may purchase put and call options on equity securities, equity indexes and ETFs as substitutes for the underlying instrument or index, to hedge its portfolio, to manage risk or to obtain market exposure.  To generate additional returns, the Fund may also write "covered" call options on equity securities and ETFs it owns and on equity indexes that are expected to have return characteristics substantially similar to the Fund's portfolio.

The Fund intends, under normal circumstances, to maintain at least 65% net exposure (longs (other than inverse ETFs) minus shorts (including inverse ETFs)) to equity securities.  Additionally, under normal circumstances, AMH expects that the Fund's gross exposure to equity securities will not exceed 150% of the Fund's net assets.  The Fund defines gross exposure as the value of longs plus shorts plus options as a percentage of the Fund’s net assets.  The Fund generally restricts short positions to 75% of net assets and long positions to 120% of net assets.  AMH will not take a greater than 10% position at cost, and will generally keep position size at or below 15% through sales or other portfolio management techniques.


AMH sells a long position when a price target is reached, fundamentals have deteriorated or more attractive investments are available.  AMH may also sell a position to adjust the Fund's net exposure to equity securities or to implement its hedging strategy.  AMH covers (buys back) short positions when a price target is reached, fundamentals have improved or more attractive short positions are available or it believes hedging is no longer attractive.  AMH closes out written call options when a price target is reached, fundamentals have improved or more attractive call options are available.  


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.


Value Investing Risk. AMH's assessment of an equity security's intrinsic value may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, and an equity security judged to be undervalued or overvalued may actually be appropriately priced or its price may move in the wrong direction.


Short Position Risk.  If the market price of the security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date the security is replaced, the Fund will incur a loss.  Inverse ETFs expose the Fund to similar short position risk.  This risk is amplified for leveraged inverse ETFs.


Management Risk.  AMH may not be successful in its strategy of taking long positions in equity securities the adviser believes to be undervalued and short positions in equity securities the adviser believes to be overvalued.


Equity Security Market Risk.  Equity security prices can decline overall due to changes in the economic outlook, interest rates, political events and numerous other factors.  


Sector Risk.  Equity securities within the same group of industries may decline in price due to sector-specific market or economic developments.  If AMH invests a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in a particular sector (long or short), the Fund is subject to the risk that companies in the same sector are likely to react similarly to legislative or regulatory changes, market conditions and/or changes in competition affecting that market segment. This may cause the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not focus in a particular sector.


Individual Security Risk. The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of individual securities in the Fund's portfolio.


Leverage Risk.  Borrowing magnifies the potential for losses and exposes the Fund to interest expenses on money borrowed.  Leveraged ETFs will amplify losses because they are designed to produce returns that are a multiple of the equity index to which they are linked.


Limited History of Operations.  The Fund is a new mutual fund, has a limited history of operation and AMH has not previously managed a mutual fund.  


Option Risk.  Purchased put and call options may expire worthless and may not be effective substitutes or hedges for the underlying security or index.  Selling covered call options will limit the Fund's gain, if any, on the underlying equity securities.


Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments, including ADRs, may be riskier than U.S. investments for many reasons, such as changes in currency exchange rates and unstable political, social and economic conditions.  


Smaller Company Risk.  Smaller cap equity securities may be very sensitive to changing economic conditions and market downturns because the issuers often have narrow markets, fewer product lines, and limited managerial and financial resources, resulting in volatile equity security prices and a limited ability to sell them at a desirable time or price.


ETF Risk.  ETFs involve duplication of investment advisory fees and certain other expenses. Investments in ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund.


Inverse ETF Risk.  Inverse ETFs will prevent the Fund from participating in market-wide or sector-wide gains and may not prove to be an effective hedge.


Leveraged ETF Risk.  Leveraged ETFs will amplify losses and may not produce their intended multiple beyond one day periods.


PERFORMANCE:  Because the Fund has less than a full calendar year of investment operations, no performance information is presented for the Fund at this time.  In the future, performance information will be presented in this section of this Prospectus.  Also, shareholder reports containing financial and performance information will be mailed to shareholders semi-annually. Updated performance information will be available at no cost by visiting www.tealeafvalue.com or by calling 1-855-270-2676.


INVESTMENT ADVISER:  AMH Equity, Ltd.


PORTFOLIO MANAGERS:  Adam M. Hutt, President of AMH, and David A. Hanover, CFA, Senior Equity Analyst of AMH, have served the Fund as its portfolio managers since it commenced operations in 2013.


PURCHASE AND SALE OF FUND SHARES:  You may purchase and redeem shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading.  You may redeem shares by written request, telephone or through a financial intermediary.  The minimum initial and subsequent investment is $2,500 and $100, respectively, for both Class A and Class C shares.  The minimum initial and subsequent investment is $10,000 and $100, respectively, for Class I shares.  


TAX INFORMATION:  Dividends and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) plan.  However, such distributions may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from the plan.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES:  If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), AMH may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.  These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.




ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RELATED RISKS


INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:  


The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.  The Fund's investment objective may be changed without shareholder approval by the Fund's Board of Trustees upon 60 days written notice to shareholders.  


PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES:


The investment adviser (AMH Equity, Ltd. or "AMH") will generally select long and short securities through the use of fundamental equity analysis. AMH attempts to identify underfollowed companies that it believes will experience growth in earnings, cash flow or revenues and that are, in its judgment, priced at attractive valuations.  These companies tend to have a unique market niche, innovative products, and/or talented management.  AMH attempts to find securities whose favorable dynamics are not reflected in their share prices.  The Fund will primarily invest on the long side in the equity securities of companies with a market capitalization below $1.5 billion at the time of investment.  Similarly, AMH uses these same fundamental equity analysis techniques to identify equity securities to sell short when it believes they are overvalued and likely to depreciate in price.  AMH may buy index-based exchange traded funds ("ETFs") to gain market exposure.  Additionally, AMH may also sell short ETFs or buy inverse ETFs, including leveraged inverse ETFs, to hedge overall equity market risk when it believes market conditions are unfavorable.  AMH will generally sell a long position when, in its opinion, the share price fully reflects the company's value, when prospects for the company are less favorable or when there are better investment opportunities elsewhere.  AMH may also sell a position to adjust net exposure to equity securities or to implement its hedging strategy.  AMH covers (buys back) short positions when a price target is reached, fundamentals have improved or more attractive short positions are available or it believes hedging is no longer attractive.  AMH covers written call options when a price target is reached, fundamentals have improved or more attractive call options are available.


A short sale involves the Fund selling a security that it does not own, borrowing the same security from a broker or other institution to complete the sale, and then buying the same security at a later date to repay the lender. If the price of the security declines before the Fund buys the security to repay the lender, the Fund makes a profit. If the price increases, the Fund will incur a loss because it will have to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a higher price.  If AMH is more optimistic about the markets, the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to long positions will likely increase; or if AMH is more pessimistic about the markets, the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to short positions or inverse ETFs will likely increase.  


When AMH believes market conditions are appropriate, the Fund may borrow money from banks to make additional portfolio investments. These loans may be structured as secured or unsecured loans, and may have fixed or variable interest rates. The Fund may borrow an amount equal to as much as one-third of the value of its total assets (which includes the amount borrowed). The Fund will only engage in borrowing when AMH believes the return from the additional investments will be greater than the costs associated with the borrowing. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss of the Fund, and therefore increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund's net asset value ("NAV").  Interest costs on borrowing may fluctuate with changing market interest rates and may partially offset or exceed the return earned on the borrowed funds.  Unless profits on assets acquired with borrowed funds exceed the costs of borrowing, the use of borrowing will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared with what it would have been without borrowing.

The Fund may purchase put and call options on equity securities, equity indexes and ETFs as substitutes for the underlying instrument or index, to hedge its portfolio, to manage risk or to obtain market exposure.  As an example, the Fund may buy index options to serve as a hedge against overall fluctuations in the securities market represented by the relevant market index.  The Fund purchases call options as substitutes for long positions in the underlying instrument or index when AMH wishes to amplify the Fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or index.  The Fund purchases put options as a substitute for shorting an equity security, or to hedge a specific equity security or the Fund's overall equity market risk.  The Fund may write covered call options against individual equity securities and ETFs in the Fund's portfolio or write call options on indexes that are expected to have returns that are substantially similar to the Fund's portfolio.  The Fund may sell call options to enable the Fund to enhance income by reason of the premiums paid by the buyer of such options. The Fund will sell call options only to the extent that it owns the underlying security or, with respect to options on stock indices, holds a portfolio of securities substantially replicating the movement of the index.  When the Fund sells a covered call option, the purchaser of the option has the right to buy that equity security at a predetermined price (known as the exercise price) any time up to a certain date in the future (known as the expiration date). If the purchaser exercises the option, the Fund must sell the equity security to the purchaser at the exercise price (or, under some circumstances, make an equivalent cash payment). The option is "covered" because the Fund owns the equity security, or similar securities in the case of an index, at the time it sells the option. As the seller of the option, the Fund receives a premium from the purchaser of the call option, which may provide additional returns to the Fund. The selling of covered call options may tend to reduce the volatility of the Fund because the premiums received from selling the options will reduce any losses on the underlying equity security, but only by the amount of the premiums.  

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS:


Value Investing Risk.  AMH's assessment of an equity security's intrinsic value may never be fully recognized or realized by the market, and an equity security judged to be undervalued or overvalued may actually be appropriately priced or its price may move in the wrong direction.


Short Position Risk.  The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security sold short, such an ETF, increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. In addition, a lender may request that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, in which case the Fund may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs, any anticipated gain to the Fund may be reduced or eliminated or the short sale may result in a loss. The Fund's losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on AMH's ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security.  Inverse ETFs expose the Fund to similar short position risk.  This risk is amplified for leveraged ETFs and leveraged inverse ETFs.


Management Risk.  AMH's judgments about the attractiveness, value and potential appreciation of a particular asset class or an individual security in which the Fund invests, or sells short, may prove to be incorrect and there is no guarantee that AMH's judgment will produce the desired results. In addition, AMH will adjust the Fund's net equity securities exposure based upon its assessment of market conditions.  If that assessment proves incorrect, the Fund's value will be adversely affected.


Equity Security Market Risk.  Equity security prices can rise or decline overall due to changes in the economic outlook, interest rates, political events and numerous other factors. Overall securities market risks affect the value of individual securities in which the Fund invests.  Factors such as domestic and foreign economic growth rates and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the US and international securities markets.  When the value of the Fund's investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.


Sector Risk.  Equity securities within the same group of industries may rise or decline in price due to sector-specific market or economic developments. If AMH invests a significant portion of the Fund's assets in long and/or short positions in a particular sector, the Fund is subject to the risk that companies in the same sector are likely to react similarly to legislative or regulatory changes, market conditions and/or changes in competition affecting that market segment. This may cause the Fund's net asset value to fluctuate more than that of a fund that does not concentrate in a particular sector.  For example, the Fund may have a greater focus in technology companies than other funds and weakness in this sector could result in significant losses to the Fund. Technology companies may be significantly affected by falling prices and profits and intense competition, and their products may be subject to rapid obsolescence.


Individual Security Risk.  The value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial prospects of individual securities in the Fund's portfolio.  The Fund will be more sensitive to an individual security's returns that a highly diversified fund such as one that seeks to emulate the S&P 500.


Leverage Risk.  Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss of the Fund, and therefore increases the possibility of a fluctuation in the Fund's NAV. This is the speculative factor known as leverage. Because the Fund's investments will fluctuate in value, whereas the interest obligations on borrowed funds may be fixed, during times of borrowing, the Fund's NAV may tend to increase more when its investments increase in value, and decrease more when its investments decrease in value. Unless profits on assets acquired with borrowed funds exceed the costs of borrowing, the use of borrowing will diminish the investment performance of the Fund compared with what it would have been without borrowing.  Leveraged ETFs will amplify losses because they are designed to produce returns that are a multiple of the equity market index to which they are linked.


Limited History of Operations.  The Fund is a new mutual fund and has a limited history of operation and AMH has not previously managed a mutual fund.  Mutual funds and their advisers are subject to restrictions and limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), and the Internal Revenue Code that do not apply to an adviser's management of individual and institutional accounts.  As a result, investors cannot judge AMH by its track record of managing such accounts.

Option Risk.  Purchased put and call options may expire worthless.  Additionally, puts and calls may not be effective substitutes or hedges for the underlying equity security or index because they may have limited, or difficult to predict, correlation to the underlying equity security or index.  Selling covered call options will limit the Fund's gain, if any, on the underlying equity securities. The seller (writer) of a call option which is covered (e.g., the writer holds the underlying equity security) assumes the risk of a decline in the market price of the underlying equity security below the purchase price of the underlying equity security less the premium received, and gives up the opportunity for gain on the underlying equity security above the exercise price of the option.


Foreign Investment Risk.  Foreign investments, including through ADRs, may be riskier than U.S. investments for many reasons, including changes in currency exchange rates; unstable political, social and economic conditions; possible security illiquidity; a lack of adequate or accurate company information; differences in the way securities markets operate; less secure foreign banks or securities depositories than those in the U.S.; less standardization of accounting standards and market regulations in certain foreign countries; and varying foreign controls on investments. Because the Fund can make foreign investments, its share price may be more affected by foreign economic and political conditions, taxation policies and accounting and auditing standards than would otherwise be the case.


Smaller Company Risk.  Smaller cap equity securities may be very sensitive to changing economic conditions and market downturns because the issuers often have narrow markets, fewer product lines, and limited managerial and financial resources, resulting in volatile equity security prices and a limited ability to sell them at a desirable time or price.  The earnings and prospects of smaller companies are more volatile than those of larger companies.  Smaller companies also may experience higher failure rates than do larger companies.  In addition, the securities of smaller companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than the securities of larger companies, which may disproportionately affect their market price, tending to make them fall more in response to selling pressure than is the case with larger companies.  


ETF Risk.  Investments in ETFs involve duplication of investment advisory fees and certain other expenses.  In addition, because ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like equity securities listed on an exchange, ETF shares potentially may trade at a discount or a premium.  Investments in ETFs are also subject to brokerage and other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund.


Inverse ETF Risk.  Inverse ETFs will prevent the Fund from participating in market-wide or sector-wide gains.  Inverse ETFs may be ineffective hedging vehicles because their price changes may not be highly correlated to Fund assets they are intended to hedge.  


Leveraged ETF Risk.  Leveraged ETFs will amplify losses and may not produce their intended multiple beyond one day periods.  Leveraged ETFs may also have less liquidity than non-leveraged ETFs and other securities.


Temporary Investments:  To respond to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the Fund may invest 100% of its total assets, without limitation, in high-quality short term debt securities and money market instruments.  These short term debt securities and money market instruments include: shares of money market mutual funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, U.S. Government securities and repurchase agreements.  While the Fund is in a defensive position, the opportunity to achieve its investment objective will be limited.  Furthermore, to the extent that the Fund invests in money market mutual funds for cash positions, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund pays its pro-rata portion of such money market funds' advisory fees and operational fees.  The Fund may also invest a substantial portion of its assets in such instruments at any time to maintain liquidity or pending selection of investments in accordance with its policies.


Portfolio Holdings Disclosure:  A description of the Fund's policies regarding the release of portfolio holdings information is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund's assets are generally valued at their market value using market quotations.  The Fund may use pricing services to determine market value.  If market prices are not available or, in the adviser's opinion, market prices do not reflect fair value, or if an event occurs after the close of trading on the domestic or foreign exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (but prior to the time the net asset value (NAV) is calculated) that materially affects fair value, the investment adviser will value the Fund's assets at their fair value according to policies approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.  For example, if trading in a portfolio security is halted and does not resume before the Fund calculates its NAV, the adviser may need to price the security using the Fund's fair value pricing guidelines.  Without a fair value price, short term traders could take advantage of the arbitrage opportunity and dilute the NAV of long term investors.  Securities trading on overseas markets present time zone arbitrage opportunities when events effecting portfolio security values occur after the close of the overseas market, but prior to the close of the U.S. market.  Fair valuation of the Fund's portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities available to short term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value pricing policies will prevent dilution of the Fund's NAV by short term traders.  Fair valuation involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.  The Fund will invest in ETFs and other investment companies ("Underlying Funds").  The Fund's NAV is calculated based, in part, upon the market prices of the Underlying Funds in its portfolio, and the prospectuses of those companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.  Because foreign securities trade on days when Fund shares are not priced, the value of securities held by the Fund can change on days when Fund shares cannot be purchased or redeemed.


HOW TO PURCHASE SHARES


SHARE CLASSES:

This Prospectus describes three classes of shares offered by the Fund. The main differences between each class are sales charges and ongoing fees.  For information on ongoing distribution fees, see Distribution Fees on page 23 of this Prospectus.  In choosing which class of shares to purchase, you should consider which will be most beneficial to you, given the amount of your purchase.  Each class of shares in the Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments in the Fund.  

Class A Shares


Class A shares are offered at the public offering price, which is net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge.  The sales charge varies, depending on how much you invest.  There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions.  You can also qualify for a sales charge reduction or waiver through a right of accumulation or a letter of intent if you are a U.S. resident. See the discussions of "Rights of Accumulation" and "Letters of Intent" below. The Fund reserves the right to waive any load as described below.  The following sales charges apply to your purchases of Class A shares of the Fund:

The Fund's distributor, Arbor Court Capital, LLC (the "distributor"), may advance to, or reimburse, the Fund up to 1.00% in connection with commissions paid to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class A shares that are purchased without a load.  However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the respective Class A shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on shares redeemed prior to the first 24 months after their purchase in the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed.  The distributor may waive imposition of the CDSC at its discretion.  Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the shares purchased are subject to this CDSC.


How to Reduce Your Sales Charge

You may be eligible to purchase Class A shares at a reduced sales charge. To qualify for these reductions, you must notify the Fund's distributor in writing and supply your account number at the time of purchase.  You may combine your purchase with those of your "immediate family" (your spouse and your children under the age of 21) for purposes of determining eligibility.  If applicable, you will need to provide the account numbers of your spouse and your minor children as well as the ages of your minor children.

Rights of Accumulation:  To qualify for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you may combine your new purchases of Class A shares with Class A shares of the Fund that you already own. The applicable initial sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current value of all other Class A shares that you own. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases and must be requested in writing when you buy your shares.

Shares of the Fund held as follows cannot be combined with your current purchase for purposes of reduced sales charges:

·

Shares held indirectly through financial intermediaries other than your current purchase broker-dealer (for example, a different broker-dealer, a bank, a separate insurance company account or an investment adviser);

·

Shares held through an administrator or trustee/custodian of an Employer Sponsored Retirement Plan (for example, a 401(k) plan) other than employer-sponsored IRAs; and

·

Shares held directly in the Fund account on which the broker-dealer (financial adviser) of record is different than your current purchase broker-dealer.

Letters of Intent: Under a Letter of Intent ("LOI"), you commit to purchase a specified dollar amount of Class A shares of the Fund, with a minimum of $25,000, during a 13-month period. At your written request, Class A shares purchases made during the previous 90 days may be included.  The amount you agree to purchase determines the initial sales charge you pay.  If the full-face amount of the LOI is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be adjusted to the higher initial sales charge level for the amount actually invested.  You are not legally bound by the terms of your LOI to purchase the amount of your shares stated in the LOI.  The LOI does, however, authorize the Fund to hold in escrow 5% of the total amount you intend to purchase.  If you do not complete the total intended purchase at the end of the 13 month period, the Fund's transfer agent will redeem the necessary portion of the escrowed shares to make up the difference between the reduced rate sales charge (based on the amount you intended to purchase) and the sales charge that would normally apply (based on the actual amount you purchased).

Repurchase of Class A Shares:  If you have redeemed Class A shares of the Fund within the past 120 days, you may repurchase an equivalent amount of Class A shares of the Fund at NAV, without the normal front-end sales charge. In effect, this allows you to reacquire shares that you may have had to redeem, without repaying the front-end sales charge. You may exercise this privilege only once and must notify the Fund that you intend to do so in writing.  The Fund must receive your purchase order within 120 days of your redemption.  Note that if you reacquire shares through separate installments (e.g., through monthly or quarterly repurchases), the sales charge waiver will only apply to those portions of your repurchase order received within 120 days of your redemption.

Sales Charge Waivers

The sales charge on purchases of Class A shares may be waived in the discretion of the Fund or AMH for certain types of investors, including:

·

Current and retired trustees and officers of the Fund sponsored by AMH or any of its subsidiaries, their families (e.g., spouse, children, mother or father) and any other purchasers referred through AMH.

·

Employees of AMH and their families, or any full-time employee or registered representative of the distributor or of broker-dealers having dealer agreements with the distributor (a "Selling Broker") and their immediate families (or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan for the benefit of such persons).

·

Any full-time employee of a bank, savings and loan, credit union or other financial institution that utilizes a Selling Broker to clear purchases of the Fund's shares and their immediate families.

·

Any accounts established on behalf of registered investment advisers or their clients by broker-dealers that charge a transaction fee and that have entered into agreements with the distributor.

·

Clients of financial intermediaries (including investment advisers) that have entered into arrangements with the distributor providing for the shares to be used in particular investment products made available to such clients and for which such financial intermediaries may charge a separate fee.

·

Bank trust departments that are trading in a fiduciary capacity for a client.

·

Certain registered investment advisers that have entered into agreements with the Fund.

·

Separate accounts used to fund certain unregistered variable annuity contracts or Section 403(b) or 401(a) or (k) accounts.

·

For employer-sponsored retirement or benefit plans with total plan assets in excess of $5 million where the plan's investments in the Fund are part of an omnibus account and where the record keeper has an arrangement with the distributor which allows for a waiver of upfront commissions.  A minimum initial investment of $1 million in the Fund is required. The distributor in its sole discretion may waive these minimum dollar requirements.

The Fund does not waive sales charges for the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of shares of a different fund where those shares were subject to a front-end sales charge (sometimes called an "NAV transfer").  AMH may also waive applicable sales charges under certain other conditions. Please contact AMH or the distributor to determine eligibility for waived sales charges.

Class C Shares

Class C shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge.  This means that 100% of your initial investment is placed into shares of the Fund.  Class C shares pay 1.00% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets as reimbursement or compensation for service and distribution-related activities with respect to the Fund and/or shareholder services.  Over time, fees paid under this distribution and service plan will increase the cost of a Class C shareholder's investment and may cost more than other types of sales charges.  

The distributor may advance to, or reimburse, the Fund 1.00% in connection with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class C shares.  However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the respective Class C shares are subject to a CDSC payable to the distributor on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after their purchase in the amount advanced, less any amounts recouped by the distributor from 12b-1 payments received by the distributor.  The distributor may waive imposition of the CDSC at its discretion.  Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the shares purchased are subject to this CDSC.

Class I Shares


Class I shares of the Fund are sold at NAV without an initial sales charge and are not subject to 12b-1 fees, but have a higher minimum initial investment than other classes of shares. This means that 100% of your initial investment is placed into shares of the Fund.  Class I shares are intended to be offered to institutional investors such as pension plans, bank trust departments and investment advisers.  Class I shares will be offered through select channels that are not available to all investors.

The Fund reserves the right to waive any minimum.  There is no minimum investment requirement when you are buying shares by reinvesting dividends and distributions from the Fund.  Investment minimums may be higher or lower for investors purchasing shares through a brokerage firm or other financial institution.  To the extent investments of individual investors are aggregated into an omnibus account established by an investment adviser, brokerage firm, retirement plan sponsor or other intermediary, the account minimums apply to the omnibus account, not to the account of the individual investor.

For accounts sold through brokerage firms and other intermediaries, it is the responsibility of the brokerage firm or intermediary to enforce compliance with investment minimums.


OPENING AN ACCOUNT:

The Fund is a series of Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust (the "Trust") and you may purchase shares directly from the Fund.  You also may purchase shares through a brokerage firm or other intermediary that has contracted with the Trust to sell shares of the Fund.  You may be charged a separate fee by the brokerage firm or other intermediary through whom you purchase shares.  

If you are investing directly in the Fund for the first time, please call the Fund's transfer agent at 1-855-270-2676 to request a Shareholder Account Application.  You will need to establish an account before investing.  Be sure to sign up for all the account options that you plan to take advantage of.  For example, if you would like to be able to redeem your shares by telephone, you should select this option on your Shareholder Account Application.  Doing so when you open your account means that you will not need to complete additional paperwork later.

Your investment in the Fund should be intended as a long-term investment vehicle.  The Fund is not designed to provide you with a means of speculating on the short term fluctuations in the stock market.  The Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request that it regards as disruptive to the efficient management of the Fund, which includes investors with a history of excessive trading.  The Fund also reserves the right to stop offering shares at any time.

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  This means that when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We also may ask for other identifying documents or information, and may take additional steps to verify your identity. We may not be able to open your account or complete a transaction for you until we are able to verify your identity.

If you have any questions regarding the Fund, please call 1-855-270-2676.

You may buy shares on any "business day."  Business days are Monday through Friday, other than days the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, including the following holidays:  New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Shares of the Fund are sold at net asset value (NAV) per share, plus any applicable sales charges (loads).  The NAV generally is calculated as of the close of trading on the NYSE every day the NYSE is open.  The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time ("ET").  The Fund's NAV is calculated, on a class-specific basis, by taking the total value of the Fund's assets, subtracting liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent.  

If you are purchasing directly from the Trust, send the completed Shareholder Account Application and a check payable to the Fund in which you are investing to the following address:


Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust

c/o Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC

8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400

Broadview Heights, OH 44147-4031

Purchases orders received in "proper form" by the Fund's transfer agent before the close of trading on the NYSE will be effective at the NAV next calculated after your order is received.  On occasion, the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET.  When that happens, purchase orders received after the NYSE closes will be effective the following business day.  

To be in "proper form," the purchase order must include:

·

Fund name and account number;

·

Account name(s) and address;

·

The dollar amount or number of shares you wish to purchase.  

The Fund may limit the amount of purchases and refuse to sell to any person.  

Method of Payment.  All purchases (both initial and subsequent) must be made in U.S. dollars and checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.  Cash, credit cards and third party checks will not be accepted.  Third party checks and checks drawn on a non-U.S. financial institution will not be accepted, even if payment may be effected through a U.S. financial institution.  Checks made payable to any individual or company and endorsed to Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust or the Fund are considered third-party checks.  

A $20 fee will be charged against your account for any payment check returned to the transfer agent or for any incomplete electronic funds transfer, or for insufficient funds, stop payment, closed account or other reasons.  If a check does not clear your bank or the Fund is unable to debit your pre-designated bank account on the day of purchase, the Fund reserves the right to cancel the purchase.  If your purchase is canceled, you will be responsible for any losses or fees imposed by your bank and losses that may be incurred as a result of a decline in the value of the canceled purchase.  The Fund (or the Fund's agent) each have the authority to redeem shares in your account(s) to cover any losses due to fluctuations in share price.  Any profit on such cancellation will accrue to the Fund.  


If you choose to pay by wire, you must call the Fund's transfer agent, at 1-855-270-2676 to set up your account, to obtain an account number, and obtain instructions on how to complete the wire transfer.


Wire orders will be accepted only on a day on which the Fund, custodian and transfer agent are open for business.  A wire purchase will not be considered made until the wired money and the purchase order are received by the Fund.  Any delays that may occur in wiring money, including delays that may occur in processing by the banks, are not the responsibility of the Fund or its transfer agent.  The Fund presently does not charge a fee for the receipt of wired funds, but the Fund may charge shareholders for this service in the future.


AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLANS:


By completing the Automatic Investment Plan section of the account application, you may make automatic monthly investments ($100 minimum per purchase) in the Fund from your bank or savings account with no required initial investment.


OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION:

If your wire does not clear, you will be responsible for any loss incurred by the Fund.  If you are already a shareholder, the Fund can redeem shares from any identically registered account in the Fund as reimbursement for any loss incurred.  You may be prohibited or restricted from making future purchases in the Fund.

The Fund may authorize certain brokerage firms and other intermediaries (including its designated correspondents) to accept purchase and redemption order on its behalf.  The Fund is deemed to have received an order when the authorized person or designee receives the order, and the order is processed at the NAV next calculated thereafter.  It is the responsibility of the brokerage firm or other intermediary to transmit orders promptly to the Fund's transfer agent.


HOW TO REDEEM SHARES

REDEEMING SHARES:

You may redeem your shares on any business day.  Redemption orders received in proper form by the Fund's transfer agent or by a brokerage firm or other intermediary selling Fund shares before 4:00 p.m. ET (or before the NYSE closes if the NYSE closes before 4:00 p.m. ET) will be processed at that day's NAV.  Your brokerage firm or intermediary may have an earlier cut-off time.

"Proper form" means your request for redemption must:

·

Include the Fund name and account number;

·

Include the account name(s) and address;

·

State the dollar amount or number of shares you wish to redeem; and

·

Be signed by all registered share owner(s) in the exact name(s) and any special capacity in which they are registered.

The Fund may require that the signatures be guaranteed if the mailing address of the account has been changed within 30 days of the redemption request.  The Fund also may require that signatures be guaranteed for redemptions of $25,000 or more.  Signature guarantees are for the protection of shareholders.  You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks and securities dealers, but not from a notary public.  All documentation requiring a signature guarantee must utilize a New Technology Medallion stamp.  For joint accounts, both signatures must be guaranteed.  Please call the transfer agent at 1-855-270-2676 if you have questions regarding signature guarantees.  At the discretion of the Fund, you may be required to furnish additional legal documents to insure proper authorization.  The Fund will not make checks payable to any person other than the shareholder(s) of record.


Shares of the Fund may be redeemed by mail or telephone.  You may receive redemption payments in the form of a check or federal wire transfer.  A wire transfer fee of $20 will be charged to defray custodial charges for redemptions paid by wire transfer.  Any charges for wire redemptions will be deducted from your account by redemption of shares.  If you redeem your shares through a brokerage firm or other intermediary, you may be charged a fee by that institution.

REDEEMING BY MAIL:

You may redeem any part of your account in the Fund by mail at no charge.  Your request, in proper form, should be addressed to:

Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust

c/o Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC

8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400

Broadview Heights, OH 44147-4031

TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS:

You may redeem any part of your account in the Fund by calling the transfer agent at 1-855-270-2676.  You must first complete the Optional Telephone Redemption and Exchange section of the investment application to institute this option.  The Fund, the transfer agent and the custodian are not liable for following redemption instructions communicated by telephone to the extent that they reasonably believe the telephone instructions to be genuine.  However, if they do not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine, they may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.  Procedures employed may include recording telephone instructions and requiring a form of personal identification from the caller.


The Fund may terminate the telephone redemption procedures at any time.  During periods of extreme market activity it is possible that shareholders may encounter some difficulty in telephoning the Fund, although neither the Fund nor the transfer agent has ever experienced difficulties in receiving and responding to telephone requests for redemptions or exchanges in a timely fashion.  If you are unable to reach the Fund by telephone, you may request a redemption or exchange by mail.

REDEMPTIONS IN KIND:

The Fund reserves the right to honor requests for redemption or repurchase orders made by a shareholder during any 90-day period by making payment in whole or in part in portfolio securities ("redemption in kind") if the amount of such a request is large enough to affect operations (if the request is greater than the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets at the beginning of the 90-day period).  The securities will be chosen by the Fund and valued using the same procedures as used in calculating the Fund's NAV. A shareholder may incur transaction expenses in converting these securities to cash.

ADDITIONAL REDEMPTION INFORMATION:

If you are not certain of the redemption requirements, please call the transfer agent at 1-855-270-2676.  Redemptions specifying a certain date or share price cannot be accepted and will be returned.  You will be mailed the proceeds on or before the fifth business day following the redemption.  You may be assessed a fee if the Fund incurs bank charges because you request that the Fund re-issue a redemption check.  Also, when the NYSE is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closing or under any emergency circumstances, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Fund may suspend redemptions or postpone payment dates.

Low Balances: Because the Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining shareholder accounts, the Fund may require that you redeem all of your shares in the Fund upon 30 days written notice if the value of your shares in the Fund is less than $2,500 due to redemption, or such other minimum amount as the Fund may determine from time to time. You may increase the value of your shares in the Fund to the minimum amount within the 30-day period. All shares of the Fund also are subject to involuntary redemption if the Board of Trustees determines to liquidate the Fund. An involuntary redemption will create a capital gain or a capital loss, which may have tax consequences to you and about which you should consult your tax adviser.


FREQUENT PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES

The Fund discourages and does not accommodate market timing. Frequent trading into and out of the Fund can harm all Fund shareholders by disrupting the Fund's investment strategies, increasing Fund expenses, decreasing tax efficiency and diluting the value of shares held by long-term shareholders. The Fund is designed for long-term investors and is not intended for market timing or other disruptive trading activities. Accordingly, the Fund's Board has approved policies that seek to curb these disruptive activities while recognizing that shareholders may have a legitimate need to adjust their Fund investments as their financial needs or circumstances change. The Fund currently uses several methods to reduce the risk of market timing. These methods include:

·

Committing staff to review, on a continuing basis, recent trading activity in order to identify trading activity that may be contrary to the Fund's "Market Timing Trading Policy;"

·

Rejecting or limiting specific purchase requests;

·

Rejecting purchase requests from certain investors; and

·

Charging a 2% redemption fee on shares sold within 90 days.

Though these methods involve judgments that are inherently subjective and involve some selectivity in their application, the Fund seeks to make judgments and applications that are consistent with the interests of the Fund's shareholders.


Based on the frequency of redemptions in your account, the adviser or transfer agent may in its sole discretion determine that your trading activity is detrimental to the Fund as described in the Fund's Market Timing Trading Policy and elect to (i) reject or limit the amount, number, frequency or method for requesting future purchases into the Fund and/or (ii) reject or limit the amount, number, frequency or method for requesting future exchanges or redemptions out of the Fund.


The Fund reserves the right to reject or restrict purchase requests for any reason, particularly when the shareholder's trading activity suggests that the shareholder may be engaged in market timing or other disruptive trading activities. Neither the Fund nor the adviser will be liable for any losses resulting from rejected purchase orders. The adviser may also bar an investor who has violated these policies (and the investor's financial adviser) from opening new accounts with the Fund.


Although the Fund attempts to limit disruptive trading activities, some investors use a variety of strategies to hide their identities and their trading practices. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will be able to identify or limit these activities. Omnibus account arrangements are common forms of holding shares of the Fund.  While the Fund will encourage financial intermediaries to apply the Fund's Market Timing Trading Policy to their customers who invest indirectly in the Fund, the Fund is limited in its ability to monitor the trading activity or enforce the Fund's Market Timing Trading Policy with respect to customers of financial intermediaries. For example, should it occur, the Fund may not be able to detect market timing that may be facilitated by financial intermediaries or made difficult to identify in the omnibus accounts used by those intermediaries for aggregated purchases, exchanges and redemptions on behalf of all their customers. More specifically, unless the financial intermediaries have the ability to apply the Fund's Market Timing Trading Policy to their customers through such methods as implementing short term trading limitations or restrictions and monitoring trading activity for what might be market timing, the Fund may not be able to determine whether trading by customers of financial intermediaries is contrary to the Fund's Market Timing Trading Policy. Brokers maintaining omnibus accounts with the Fund have agreed to provide shareholder transaction information to the extent known to the broker to the Fund upon request. If the Fund or its transfer agent or shareholder servicing agent suspects there is market timing activity in the account, the Fund will seek full cooperation from the service provider maintaining the account to identify the underlying participant. At the request of the adviser, the service providers may take immediate action to stop any further short term trading by such participants.


The Fund reserves the right to modify or eliminate the redemption fee at any time.  If there is a material change to the Fund's redemption fee, the Fund will notify you at least 60 days prior to the effective date of the change.  The Fund also reserves the right to waive the redemption fee for any shareholder if the circumstances warrant.


DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES


DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS:


The Fund typically distributes substantially all of its net investment income in the form of dividends and taxable capital gains to its shareholders.  The Fund intends to distribute dividends and capital gains at least annually.  These distributions are automatically reinvested in the Fund unless you request cash distributions on your application or through a written request to the Fund.  Reinvested dividends and distributions receive the same tax treatment as those paid in cash. If you are interested in changing your election, you may call the Fund's transfer agent at 1-855-270-2676 or send a written notification to:

Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust

c/o Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC

8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400

Broadview Heights, OH 44147


TAXES:


In general, selling shares of the Fund and receiving distributions (whether reinvested or taken in cash) are taxable events. Depending on the purchase price and the sale price, you may have a gain or a loss on any shares sold. Any tax liabilities generated by your transactions or by receiving distributions are your responsibility. The Fund anticipates that distributions may be primarily taxed as ordinary income. You may want to avoid making a substantial investment when the Fund is about to make a taxable distribution because you would be responsible for any taxes on the distribution regardless of how long you have owned your shares. The Fund may produce capital gains even if it does not have income to distribute and performance has been poor.


Early each year, the Fund will mail to you a statement setting forth the federal income tax information for all distributions made during the previous year. If you do not provide your taxpayer identification number, your account will be subject to backup withholding.

The tax considerations described in this section do not apply to tax-deferred accounts or other non-taxable entities. Because each investor's tax circumstances are unique, please consult with your tax adviser about your investment.


DISTRIBUTION OF SHARES


DISTRIBUTOR:  Arbor Court Capital, LLC, 2000 Auburn Drive, Suite 120, Cleveland, OH 44122, is the distributor for the shares of the Fund.  Arbor Court Capital, LLC is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA").  Shares of the Fund are offered on a continuous basis.


DISTRIBUTION FEES:  The Fund has adopted plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (each a "12b-1 Plan" or "Plan") under which the Fund may incur expenses related to distribution of its Class A and Class C shares.  Payments under a Plan are made to the distributor or its designee, which uses them to pay distribution and shareholder servicing expenses on behalf of and as agent of the Fund.  The Class A shares pay at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the class, and the Class C shares pay at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the class.  The Plans are compensation plans, which means that payments under a Plan may exceed distribution and shareholder servicing expenses incurred by the applicable class pursuant to the Plan, and the distributor is permitted to retain the excess.  It is also possible that 12b-1 expenses incurred by the Fund for a period with respect to either class will exceed the payments received by the distributor, in which case the distributor or AMH may pay such excess expenses out of its own resources.  Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.


You should be aware that if you hold your shares for a substantial period of time, you may indirectly pay more than the economic equivalent of the maximum front-end sales charge allowed by FINRA due to the recurring nature of distribution (12b-1) fees.


ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES:  The Fund's distributor, its affiliates, and the Fund's adviser and its affiliates may, at their own expense and out of their own assets including their legitimate profits from Fund-related activities, provide additional cash payments to financial intermediaries who sell shares of the Fund.  Financial intermediaries include brokers, financial planners, banks, insurance companies, retirement or 401(k) plan administrators and others.  These payments may be in addition to the Rule 12b-1 fees and any sales charges that are disclosed elsewhere in this Prospectus.  These payments are generally made to financial intermediaries that provide shareholder or administrative services, or marketing support.  Marketing support may include access to sales meetings, sales representatives and financial intermediary management representatives, inclusion of the Fund on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list, or other sales programs.  These payments also may be made as an expense reimbursement in cases where the financial intermediary provides shareholder services to Fund shareholders.  The distributor may, from time to time, provide promotional incentives to certain investment firms.  Such incentives may, at the distributor's discretion, be limited to investment firms who allow their individual selling representatives to participate in such additional compensation.

HOUSEHOLDING:  To reduce expenses, we mail only one copy of the Prospectus and each annual and semi-annual report to those addresses shared by two or more accounts.  If you wish to receive individual copies of these documents, please call the Fund at 1-855-270-2676 on days the Fund is open for business or contact your financial institution.  We will begin sending you individual copies thirty days after receiving your request.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND FUND


The TeaLeaf Long/Short Deep Value Fund (the "Fund") is organized as diversified series of Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust (the "Trust").  The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 17, 2012 (the "Trust Agreement") as filed with the Ohio Secretary of State July 27, 2012.  The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value.  The Fund is the only series currently authorized by the Trustees.  The investment adviser to the Fund is AMH Equity, Ltd. (the "Adviser" or "AMH").

The Fund does not issue share certificates.  All shares are held in non-certificated form registered on the books of the Fund and the transfer agent for the account of the shareholder.  Each share of a series represents an equal proportionate interest in the assets and liabilities belonging to that series, on a class-specific basis, with each other share of that series and is entitled to such dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the series, on a class-specific basis, as are declared by the Trustees.  The shares do not have cumulative voting rights or any preemptive or conversion rights, and the Trustees have the authority from time to time to divide or combine the shares of any series into a greater or lesser number of shares of that series so long as the proportionate beneficial interest in the assets belonging to that series and the rights of shares of any other series are in no way affected.  In case of any liquidation of a series, the holders of shares of the series being liquidated will be entitled to receive a distribution out of the assets, net of the liabilities, belonging to that series.  Expenses attributable to any series are borne by that series.  Any general expenses of the Trust not readily identifiable as belonging to a particular series are allocated by or under the direction of the Trustees in such manner as the Trustees determine to be fair and equitable.  No shareholder is liable to further calls or to assessment by the Trust without his or her express consent.

Any Trustee of the Trust may be removed by vote of the shareholders holding not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust.  The Trust does not hold an annual meeting of shareholders.  When matters are submitted to shareholders for a vote, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each whole share he owns and fractional votes for fractional shares he owns.  All shares of the Fund have equal voting rights and liquidation rights.  The Agreement and Declaration of Trust can be amended by the Trustees, except that any amendment that adversely affects the rights of shareholders must be approved by the shareholders affected.  All shares of the Fund are subject to involuntary redemption if the Trustees determine to liquidate the Fund.  An involuntary redemption will create a capital gain or a capital loss, which may have tax consequences about which you should consult your tax adviser.

For information concerning the purchase and redemption of shares of the Fund, see "How to Purchase Shares" and "How to Redeem Shares" in the Prospectus.  For a description of the methods used to determine the share price and value of the Fund's assets, see "How to Purchase Shares" and "How Shares are Priced" in the Prospectus and "Pricing of Shares" in this Statement of Additional Information.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUND'S INVESTMENTS AND RISKS

Investment Strategies and Risks

All principal investment strategies and risks are discussed in the Prospectus.  This section contains a more detailed discussion of some of the investments the Fund may make and some of the techniques the Fund may use, as described in the risk summary in the Prospectus.  Additional non-principal strategies and risks also are discussed here.

Closed-End Investment Companies

The Fund may invest in closed-end investment companies.  Shares of closed-end funds are typically offered to the public in a one-time initial public offering by a group of underwriters who retain a spread or underwriting commission of between 4% or 6% of the initial public offering price. Such securities are then listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (commonly known as "NASDAQ") and, in some cases, may be traded in other over-the-counter markets. Because the shares of closed-end funds cannot be redeemed upon demand to the issuer like the shares of an open-end investment company (such as the Fund), investors seek to buy and sell shares of closed-end funds in the secondary market.

The Fund generally will purchase shares of closed-end funds only in the secondary market. The Fund will incur normal brokerage costs on such purchases similar to the expenses the Fund would incur for the purchase of securities of any other type of issuer in the secondary market. The Fund may, however, also purchase securities of a closed-end fund in an initial public offering when, in the opinion of the Adviser, based on a consideration of the nature of the closed-end Fund's proposed investments, the prevailing market conditions and the level of demand for such securities, they represent an attractive opportunity for growth of capital. The initial offering price typically will include a dealer spread, which may be higher than the applicable brokerage cost if the Fund purchased such securities in the secondary market.

The shares of many closed-end funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the net asset value per share, the difference representing the "market discount" of such shares. This market discount may be due in part to the investment objective of long-term appreciation, which is sought by many closed-end funds, as well as to the fact that the shares of closed-end funds are not redeemable by the holder upon demand to the issuer at the next determined net asset value, but rather, are subject to supply and demand in the secondary market. A relative lack of secondary market purchasers of closed-end fund shares also may contribute to such shares trading at a discount to their net asset value.

The Fund may invest in shares of closed-end funds that are trading at a discount to net asset value or at a premium to net asset value. There can be no assurance that the market discount on shares of any closed-end fund purchased by the Fund will ever decrease. In fact, it is possible that this market discount may increase and the Fund may suffer realized or unrealized capital losses due to further decline in the market price of the securities of such closed-end funds, thereby adversely affecting the net asset value of the Fund's shares. Similarly, there can be no assurance that any shares of a closed-end fund purchased by the Fund at a premium will continue to trade at a premium or that the premium will not decrease subsequent to a purchase of such shares by the Fund.

Closed-end funds may issue senior securities (including preferred stock and debt obligations) for the purpose of leveraging the closed-end Fund's common shares in an attempt to enhance the current return to such closed-end Fund's common shareholders. The Fund's investment in the common shares of closed-end funds that are financially leveraged may create an opportunity for greater total return on its investment, but at the same time may be expected to exhibit more volatility in market price and net asset value than an investment in shares of investment companies without a leveraged capital structure.

Commercial Paper

The Fund may purchase commercial paper. Commercial paper consists of short-term (usually from 1 to 270 days) unsecured promissory notes issued by corporations in order to finance current operations.

Convertible Securities

Convertible securities include fixed income securities that may be exchanged or converted into a predetermined number of shares of the issuer's underlying common stock at the option of the holder during a specified period. Convertible securities may take the form of convertible preferred stock, convertible bonds or debentures, units consisting of "usable" bonds and warrants or a combination of the features of several of these securities. Convertible securities are senior to common stocks in an issuer's capital structure, but are usually subordinated to similar non-convertible securities. While providing a fixed-income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from common stock but lower than that afforded by a similar nonconvertible security), a convertible security also gives an investor the opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the issuing company depending upon a market price advance in the convertible security's underlying common stock.

Depositary Receipts

Sponsored and unsponsored American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), which are receipts issued by an American bank or trust company evidencing ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign issuer. ADRs, in sponsored form, are designed for use in U.S. securities markets. A sponsoring company provides financial information to the bank and may subsidize administration of the ADR.  Unsponsored ADRs may be created by a broker-dealer or depository bank without the participation of the foreign issuer. Holders of these ADRs generally bear all the costs of the ADR facility, whereas foreign issuers typically bear certain costs in a sponsored ADR. The bank or trust company depositary of an unsponsored ADR may be under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the foreign issuer or to pass through voting rights. Unsponsored ADRs may carry more risk than sponsored ADRs because of the absence of financial information provided by the underlying company.  Many of the risks described below regarding foreign securities apply to investments in ADRs.

Emerging Markets Securities

Investing in emerging market securities imposes risks different from, or greater than, risks of investing in foreign developed countries.  These risks include (i) the smaller market capitalization of securities markets, which may suffer periods of relative illiquidity, (ii) significant price volatility, (iii) restrictions on foreign investment, and (iv) possible repatriation of investment income and capital. In addition, foreign investors may be required to register the proceeds of sales, and future economic or political crises could lead to price controls, forced mergers, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, seizure, nationalization, or the creation of government monopolies. The currencies of emerging market countries may experience significant declines against the U.S. dollar, and devaluation may occur subsequent to investments in these currencies by the Fund.  Inflation and rapid fluctuations in inflation rates have had, and may continue to have, negative effects on the economies and securities markets of certain emerging market countries.

Certain emerging markets limit, or require governmental approval prior to, investments by foreign persons. Repatriation of investment income and capital from certain emerging markets is subject to certain governmental consents. Even where there is no outright restriction on repatriation of capital, the mechanics of repatriation may affect the operation of the Fund.

Additional risks of emerging markets securities may include (i) greater social, economic and political uncertainty and instability, (ii) more substantial governmental involvement in the economy, (iii) less governmental supervision and regulation, (iv) the unavailability of currency hedging technique, (v) companies that are newly organized and small, (vi) differences in auditing and financial reporting standards, which may result in unavailability of material information about issuers, and (vii) less developed legal systems. In addition, emerging securities markets may have different clearance and settlement procedures, which may be unable to keep pace with the volume of securities transactions or otherwise make it difficult to engage in such transactions. Settlement problems may cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities, hold a portion of its assets in cash pending investment, or be delayed in disposing of a portfolio security. Such a delay could result in possible liability to a purchaser of the security.

Equity Securities

Equity securities include common stock, convertible preferred stock, rights and warrants.  Common stocks, the most familiar type, represent an equity (ownership) interest in a corporation.  Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specified price for a specific time period.  Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed by the issuer to its shareholders.  Although equity securities have a history of long term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company's financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.

Investments in equity securities are subject to inherent market risks and fluctuations in value due to earnings, economic conditions and other factors beyond the control of the Adviser.  As a result, the return and net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate.  Securities in the Fund's portfolio may not increase as much as the market as a whole and some undervalued securities may continue to be undervalued for long periods of time.  Although profits in some Fund holdings may be realized quickly, it is not expected that most investments will appreciate rapidly.

Exchange Traded Funds

Shares of exchange traded funds ("ETFs") may be purchased by the Fund. These investments may be used for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. Generally, an ETF is an investment company that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") that holds a portfolio of securities designed to track the performance of a particular index or index segment.  ETFs sell and redeem their shares at net asset value in large blocks (typically 50,000 of its shares) called "creation units." Shares representing fractional interests in these creation units are listed for trading on national securities exchanges and can be purchased and sold in the secondary market in lots of any size at any time during the trading day.  

Investments in ETFs involve certain inherent risks generally associated with investments in a broadly-based portfolio of stocks including: (1) risks that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of each unit of  the ETF; (2) an ETF may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or number of stocks held; (3) an ETF may also be adversely affected by the performance of the specific index, market sector or group of industries on which it is based; and (4) an ETF may not track an index as well as a traditional index mutual fund because ETFs are valued by the market and, therefore, there may be a difference between the market value and the ETF's net asset value. The Fund may both purchase and effect short sales of shares of ETFs. If the Fund effects short sales of ETFs it may offset short positions with long positions in individual equity securities to limit the potential loss in the event of an increase in market price of the ETFs sold short.

Because ETFs incur various fees and expenses, the Fund's investment in these instruments will involve certain indirect costs, as well as transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions. Fees and expenses incurred by an ETF may include trading costs, operating expenses, licensing fees, trustee fees and marketing expenses. Although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs can generate brokerage expenses. The Adviser will consider the expenses associated with an investment in determining whether to invest in an ETF or other instrument. In the case of ETFs that are investment companies, substantially all of their assets are invested in securities in various securities indices or a particular segment of a securities index. The market prices of ETFs are expected to fluctuate in accordance with both changes in the asset values of their underlying indices and supply and demand of an ETF's shares. ETFs may trade at relatively modest discounts or premiums to net asset value. Certain ETFs may have a limited operating history and information may be lacking regarding the actual performance and trading liquidity of such shares for extended periods or over complete market cycles. In addition, there is no assurance that the requirements necessary to maintain the listing of ETFs in which the Fund invests will continue to be met or will remain unchanged. There is also a risk that ETFs in which the Fund invests may terminate their operations and liquidate due to extraordinary events. For example, any of the service providers to an ETF, such as the trustee or sponsor, may close or otherwise fail to perform its obligations to the ETF, and the ETF may not be able to find a substitute service provider. ETFs may also be dependent upon licenses to use the various indices as a basis for determining their compositions and/or otherwise to use certain trade names. If these licenses are terminated an ETF may terminate its operations and liquidate. In the event the foregoing substantial market or other disruptions or extraordinary events affecting the shares of ETFs held by the Fund should occur in the future, the liquidity and value of the Fund's shares could also be adversely affected. If such events were to occur, the Fund could be required to reconsider the use of ETFs as part of its investment strategy.

Limitations of the 1940 Act, which generally prohibit the Fund from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding shares of another investment company, may restrict the Fund's ability to purchase shares of certain ETFs. The Fund generally does not purchase shares of "actively managed" ETFs. Since the ETFs in which the Fund invests generally are unmanaged, the Fund is subject to the risk that such ETFs will not attempt to take defensive positions in volatile or declining markets.

Foreign Securities

Purchases of foreign equity securities entail certain risks.  For example, there may be less information publicly-available about a foreign company than about a U.S. company, and foreign companies generally are not subject to accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable to those in the U.S.  Other risks associated with investments in foreign securities include changes in restrictions on foreign currency transactions and rates of exchanges, changes in the administrations or economic and monetary policies of foreign governments, the imposition of exchange control regulations, the possibility of expropriation decrees and other adverse foreign governmental action, the imposition of foreign taxes, less liquid markets, less government supervision of exchanges, brokers and issuers, difficulty  in  enforcing  contractual obligations,  delays  in  settlement  of securities transactions and  greater  price volatility.  In addition, investing in foreign securities will generally result in higher commissions than investing in similar domestic securities.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities

The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities. Illiquid securities include securities subject to contractual or legal restrictions on resale (e.g., because they have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act")) and securities that are otherwise not readily marketable (e.g., because trading in the security is suspended or because market makers do not exist or will not entertain bids or offers).  Securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act are referred to as private placements or restricted securities and are purchased directly from the issuer or in the secondary market.  Foreign securities that are freely-tradable in their principal markets are not considered to be illiquid.

Restricted and other illiquid securities may be subject to the potential for delays on resale and uncertainty in valuation. The Fund might be unable to dispose of illiquid securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty in satisfying redemption requests from shareholders. The Fund might have to register restricted securities in order to dispose of them, resulting in additional expense and delay.  Adverse market conditions could impede such a public offering of securities.

A large institutional market exists for certain securities that are not registered under the Securities Act, including foreign securities. The fact that there are contractual or legal restrictions on resale to the general public or to certain institutions may not be indicative of the liquidity of such investments. Rule 144A under the Securities Act allows such a broader institutional trading market for securities otherwise subject to restrictions on resale to the general public. Rule 144A establishes a "safe harbor" from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for resale of certain securities to qualified institutional buyers. Rule 144A has produced enhanced liquidity for many restricted securities, and market liquidity for such securities may continue to expand as a result of this regulation and the consequent existence of systems, which are automated systems for the trading, clearance and settlement of unregistered securities of domestic and foreign issuers.

Under guidelines adopted by the Trust's Board, the Fund's Adviser may determine that particular Rule 144A securities, and commercial paper issued in reliance on the private placement exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, are liquid even though they are not registered. A determination of whether such a security is liquid or not is a question of fact. In making this determination, the Adviser will consider, as it deems appropriate under the circumstances and among other factors: (i) the frequency of trades and quotes for the security; (ii) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security; (iii) the number of other potential purchasers of the security; (iv) dealer undertakings to make a market in the security; (v) the nature of the security (e.g., debt or equity, date of maturity, terms of dividend or interest payments, and other material terms) and the nature of the marketplace trades (e.g., the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer); and (vi) the rating of the security and the financial condition and prospects of the issuer. In the case of commercial paper, the Adviser will also determine that the paper (a) is not traded flat or in default as to principal and interest, and (b) is rated in one of the two highest rating categories by at least two Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations ("NRSRO") or, if only one NRSRO rates the security, by that NRSRO, or, if the security is unrated, the Adviser determines that it is of equivalent quality.

Rule 144A securities and Section 4(2) commercial paper that have been deemed liquid as described above will continue to be monitored by the Adviser to determine if the security is no longer liquid as the result of changed conditions. Investing in Rule 144A securities or Section 4(2) commercial paper could have the effect of increasing the amount of the Fund's assets invested in illiquid securities if institutional buyers are unwilling to purchase such securities.

Indexed Securities

The Fund may purchase indexed securities consistent with its investment objectives.  Indexed securities are those, the value of which varies positively or negatively in relation to the value of other securities, securities indices or other financial indicators.  Indexed securities may be debt securities or deposits whose value at maturity or coupon rate is determined by reference to a specific instrument or statistic.  Recent issuers of indexed securities have included banks, corporations and certain U.S. Government agencies.

The performance of indexed securities depends to a great extent on the performance of the security or other instrument to which they are indexed and also may be influenced by interest rate changes in the U.S. and abroad.  Indexed securities are subject to the credit risks associated with the issuer of the security, and their values may decline substantially if the issuer's creditworthiness deteriorates.  Indexed securities may be more volatile than the underlying instruments.  Certain indexed securities that are not traded on an established market may be deemed illiquid.

Investment Company Securities

The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies to the extent that such an investment would be consistent with the requirements of the 1940 Act, and the Fund's investment objectives.  Investments in the securities of other investment companies may involve duplication of advisory fees and certain other expenses.  By investing in another investment company, the Fund becomes a shareholder of that investment company.  As a result, the Fund's shareholders indirectly will bear the Fund's proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by shareholders of the other investment company, in addition to the fees and expenses the Fund's shareholders directly bear in connection with the Fund's own operations.

Under Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act, the Fund may invest only up to 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one investment company (ETF or other mutual funds), but may not own more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of any one investment company (the "3% Limitation") or invest more than 10% of its total assets in the securities of other investment companies.  However, Section 12(d)(1)(F) of the 1940  Act, provides that the provisions of paragraph 12(d)(1) shall not apply to securities purchased or otherwise acquired by the Fund if (i) immediately after such purchase or acquisition not more than 3% of the total outstanding stock of such registered investment company is owned by the Fund and all affiliated persons of the Fund; and (ii) the Fund has not offered or sold after January 1, 1971, and is not proposing to offer or sell any security issued by it through a principal underwriter or otherwise at a public or offering price which includes a sales load of more than 1 ½% percent. An investment company that issues shares to the Fund pursuant to paragraph 12(d)(1)(F) shall not be required to redeem its shares in an amount exceeding 1% of such investment company's total outstanding shares in any period of less than thirty days. The Fund (or the Adviser acting on behalf of the Fund) must comply with the following voting restrictions:  when the Fund exercises voting rights, by proxy or otherwise, with respect to investment companies owned by the Fund, the Fund will either seek instruction from the Fund's shareholders with regard to the voting of all proxies and vote in accordance with such instructions, or vote the shares held by the Fund in the same proportion as the vote of all other holders of such security.  Because other investment companies employ an investment adviser, such investments by the Fund may cause shareholders to bear duplicate fees.

In addition, the Fund is subject to the 3% Limitation unless (i) the ETF or the Fund has received an order for exemptive relief from the 3% limitation from the SEC that is applicable to the Fund; and (ii) the ETF and the Fund take appropriate steps to comply with any conditions in such order. In the alternative, the Fund may rely on Rule 12d1-3, which allows unaffiliated mutual funds to exceed the 5% Limitation and the 10% Limitation, provided the aggregate sales loads any investor pays (i.e., the combined distribution expenses of both the acquiring fund and the acquired funds) does not exceed the limits on sales loads established by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. ("FINRA") for funds of funds.

Options

The Fund may utilize call and put options to attempt to protect against possible changes in the market value of securities held in or to be purchased for the Fund's portfolio and to generate income or gain for the Fund.  The ability of the Fund to successfully utilize options will depend on the Adviser's ability to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured.  The Fund will comply with applicable regulatory requirements when implementing these techniques and instruments.

The Fund may write (sell) covered call options and covered put options and purchase call and put options.  The purpose of engaging in options transactions is to reduce the effect of price fluctuations of the securities owned by the Fund (and involved in the options) on the Fund's net asset value per share and to generate additional revenues.

A covered call option is an option sold on a security owned (or a portfolio of securities with substantially similar expected returns) by the seller of the option in exchange for a premium.  A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy the underlying securities at the exercise price during the option period.  If the option is exercised by the purchaser during the option period, the seller is required to deliver the underlying security against payment of the exercise price. The seller's obligation terminates upon expiration of the option period or when the seller executes a closing purchase transaction with respect to such option.  Call options on securities which the Fund sells (writes) will be covered or secured, which means that the Fund will own the underlying security or, to the extent it does not hold such a security, will maintain a segregated account with the Fund's custodian consisting of liquid debt obligations equal to the market value of the option, marked to market daily.  When the Fund writes a covered call option, it profits from the premium paid by the buyer but gives up the opportunity to profit from an increase in the value of the underlying security above the exercise price.  At the same time, the seller retains the risk of loss from a decline in the value of the underlying security during the option period.  Although the seller may terminate its obligation by executing a closing purchase transaction, the cost of effecting such a transaction may be greater than the premium received upon its sale, resulting in a loss to the seller.  If such an option expires unexercised, the seller realizes a gain equal to the premium received.  Such a gain may be offset or exceeded by a decline in the market value of the underlying security during the option period.  If an option is exercised, the exercise price, the premium received and the market value of the underlying security determine the gain or loss realized by the seller.

When the Fund sells a covered put option, it has the obligation to buy, and the purchaser of the put the right to sell, the underlying security at the exercise price during the option period.  To cover a put option, the Fund deposits liquid securities such as U.S. government securities, high-grade debt obligations or equity securities in a segregated account at its custodian.  The value of the deposited securities is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying security. The value of the deposited securities is marked to market daily and, if necessary, additional assets are placed in the segregated account to maintain a value equal to or greater than the exercise price. The Fund maintains the segregated account so long as it is obligated as the seller.  The Fund may also cover a written put option by maintaining a short position in the security subject to the put.  The obligation of the Fund is terminated when the purchaser exercises the put option, when the option expires or when a closing purchase transaction is effected by the Fund.  The Fund's gain on the sale of a put option is limited to the premium received plus interest earned on its segregated account. The Fund's potential loss on a put option is determined by taking into consideration the exercise price of the option, the market price of the underlying security when the put is exercised, the premium received and the interest earned on its segregated account. Although the Fund risks a substantial loss if it is not short the security and the price of the security on which it has sold a put option drops suddenly, it can protect itself against serious loss by entering into a closing purchase transaction. The degree of loss will depend upon the Fund's ability to detect the movement in the security's price and to execute a closing transaction at the appropriate time.

The Fund will write options on such portion of its portfolio as management determines is appropriate in seeking to attain the Fund's objective.  The Fund will write options when management believes that a liquid secondary market will exist on a national securities exchange for options of the same series so that the Fund can effect a closing purchase transaction if it desires to close out its position.  Consistent with the investment policies of the Fund, a closing purchase transaction will ordinarily be effected to realize a profit on an outstanding option, to prevent an underlying security from being called or to permit the sale of the underlying security.  Effecting a closing purchase transaction will permit the Fund to write another option on the underlying security with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both.

The Fund may purchase put options to protect against declines in the market value of portfolio securities or to attempt to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities. Put options might also be purchased to facilitate the sale of portfolio securities.  The Fund may purchase call options as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities, which then could be purchased in orderly fashion. Upon the purchase of the securities, the Fund would normally terminate the call position.  The purchase of both put and call options involves the risk of loss of all or part of the premium paid.  If the price of the underlying security does not rise (in the case of a call) or drop (in the case of a put) by an amount at least equal to the premium paid for the option contract, the Fund will experience a loss on the option contract equal to the deficiency.

Preferred Stock

Preferred stocks are securities that have characteristics of both common stocks and corporate bonds. Preferred stocks may receive dividends but payment is not guaranteed as with a bond. These securities may be undervalued because of a lack of analyst coverage resulting in a high dividend yield or yield to maturity.  The risks of preferred stocks are a lack of voting rights and the Adviser may incorrectly analyze the security, resulting in a loss to the Fund.  Furthermore, preferred stock dividends are not guaranteed and management can elect to forego the preferred dividend, resulting in a loss to the Fund.

Publicly Traded Partnerships

The Fund may invest in publicly traded partnerships ("PTPs").  PTPs are limited partnerships the interests in which (known as "units") are traded on public exchanges, just like corporate stock.  PTPs are limited partnerships that provide an investor with a direct interest in a group of assets (generally, oil and gas properties).  Publicly traded partnership units typically trade publicly, like stock, and thus may provide the investor more liquidity than ordinary limited partnerships.  Publicly traded partnerships are also called master limited partnerships and public limited partnerships.  A limited partnership has one or more general partners (they may be individuals, corporations, partnerships or another entity) which manage the partnership, and limited partners, which provide capital to the partnership but have no role in its management.  When an investor buys units in a PTP, he or she becomes a limited partner.  PTPs are formed in several ways. A non-traded partnership may decide to go public.  Several non-traded partnerships may "roll up" into a single PTP.  A corporation may spin off a group of assets or part of its business into a PTP of which it is the general partner, either to realize what it believes to be the assets' full value or as an alternative to issuing debt.  A corporation may fully convert to a PTP, although since 1986 the tax consequences have made this an unappealing; or, a newly formed company may operate as a PTP from its inception.

There are different types of risks to investing in PTPs including regulatory risks and interest rate risks.  Currently most partnerships enjoy pass through taxation of their income to partners, which avoids double taxation of earnings. If the government were to change PTP business tax structure, unitholders would not be able to enjoy the relatively high yields in the sector for long.  In addition, PTP's which charge government-regulated fees for transportation of oil and gas products through their pipelines are subject to unfavorable changes in government-approved rates and fees, which would affect a PTPs revenue stream negatively.  PTPs also carry some interest rate risks.  During increases in interest rates, PTPs may not produce decent returns to shareholders.

Real Estate Investment Trusts ("REITs")

The Fund may invest in equity interests or debt obligations issued by REITs.  REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interest.  REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs.  Equity REITs invest the majority of their assets directly in real property and derive income primarily from the collection of rents.  Equity REITs can also realize capital gains by selling property that has appreciated in value. Mortgage REITs invest the majority of their assets in real estate mortgages and derive income from the collection of interest payments.  Similar to investment companies, REITs are not taxed on income distributed to shareholders provided they comply with several requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses incurred by REITs in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses incurred directly by the Fund.

Investing in REITs involves certain unique risks in addition to those risks associated with investing in the real estate industry in general.  Equity REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying property owned by the REITs, while mortgage REITs may be affected by the quality of any credit extended. REITs are dependent upon management skills, are not diversified, are subject to heavy cash flow dependency, default by borrowers and self-liquidation.  REITs are also subject to the possibilities of failing to qualify for tax free pass-through of income under the Internal Revenue Code and failing to maintain their exemption from registration under the 1940 Act.

REITs (especially mortgage REITs) are also subject to interest rate risks. When interest rates decline, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to rise. Conversely, when interest rates rise, the value of a REIT's investment in fixed-rate obligations can be expected to decline. In contrast, as interest rates on adjustable rate mortgage loans are reset periodically, yields on a REIT's investment in such loans will gradually align themselves to fluctuate less dramatically in response to interest rate fluctuations than would investments in fixed-rate obligations.

Investment in REITs involves risks similar to those associated with investing in small capitalization companies. These risks include:

·

limited financial resources;

·

infrequent or limited trading;

·

more abrupt or erratic price movements than larger company securities; and

Repurchase Agreements

The Fund may invest in fully collateralized repurchase agreements.  A repurchase agreement is a short-term investment in which the purchaser (i.e., the Fund) acquires ownership of a security and the seller agrees to repurchase the obligation at a future time at a set price, thereby determining the yield during the purchaser's holding period (usually not more than 7 days from the date of purchase).  Any repurchase transaction in which the Fund engages will require full collateralization of the seller's obligation during the entire term of the repurchase agreement.  In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of the seller, the Fund could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying security and losses in value.  However, the Fund intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with its custodian, other banks with assets of $1 billion or more and registered securities dealers determined by the Adviser to be creditworthy.  The Adviser monitors the creditworthiness of the banks and securities dealers with which the Fund engages in repurchase transactions.  The Fund may not enter into a repurchase agreement with a term of more than seven days if, as a result, more than 15% of the value of its net assets would then be invested in such repurchase agreements and other illiquid investments.

Reverse Repurchase Transactions

The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase transactions.  In a reverse repurchase transaction, the Fund concurrently agrees to sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and broker-dealers, and to repurchase the same securities at a later date at a mutually agreed upon price.  The repurchase price generally is equal to the original sales price plus interest.  The Fund retains record ownership of the securities and the right to receive interest and principal payments.  The Fund will enter into a reverse repurchase transaction in order to obtain funds to pursue additional investment opportunities with a return in excess of the cost of the reverse repurchase transaction.  Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of Fund assets and may be viewed as a form of leverage.  Reverse purchase transactions also involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase the securities.  In the event of bankruptcy or other default by the purchaser, the Fund could experience both delays in repurchasing the portfolio securities and losses.  The Fund will enter into reverse purchase transactions only with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by the Adviser.

Reverse purchase transactions are considered by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to be borrowings by the Fund under the 1940 Act.  At the time the Fund enters into a reverse purchase transaction, it will direct its custodian to place in a segregated account assets (such as cash or liquid securities consistent with the Fund's investment restrictions) having a value equal to the repurchase price (including accrued interest).  The Fund will monitor the account to ensure that the market value of the account equals the amount of the Fund's commitments to repurchase securities.

Rights

Rights are usually granted to existing shareholders of a corporation to subscribe to shares of a new issue of common stock before it is issued to the public. The right entitles its holder to buy common stock at a specified price.  Rights have similar features to warrants, except that the life of a right is typically much shorter, usually a few weeks. The Adviser believes rights may become underpriced if they are sold without regard to value and if analysts do not include them in their research. The risk in investing in rights is that the Adviser might miscalculate their value resulting in a loss to the Fund. Another risk is the underlying common stock may not reach the Adviser's anticipated price within the life of the right.

Short Sales

The Fund may seek to realize additional gains or hedge investments by selling a security short.  A short sale is a transaction in which the Fund sells a security that it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the security.  To complete the short sale, the Fund must arrange through a broker to borrow the security in order to deliver it to the buyer.  The Fund is obligated to replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at a market price at or prior to the time it must be returned to the lender.  The price at which the Fund is required to replace the borrowed security may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the Fund.  Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to repay the lender any dividends or interest attributable to the borrowed security that may accrue during the period of the loan.  To borrow the security, the Fund may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold.  Until the short position is closed out, the Fund also will incur transaction costs.

The net proceeds of the short sale plus any additional cash collateral will be retained by the broker to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements and provide a collateral cushion in the event that the value of the security sold short increases.  The Fund will receive the net proceeds after it closes out the short position by replacing the borrowed security.  Until the Fund closes the short position, the Fund also must maintain a segregated account with its custodian consisting of cash or other liquid securities in an amount at least equal to (i) the current market value of the security sold short, (ii) less any collateral deposited with the broker (not including the proceeds of the short sale).  The assets in the segregated account are marked to market daily.  The collateral held by the broker and the segregated account with the custodian will not necessarily limit the Fund's potential loss on a short sale, which is unlimited.

The Fund will incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security.  The Fund will realize a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates.  The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividend, interest or expenses the Fund may be required to pay in connection with the short sale.  There can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to close out a short position at any particular time or at an acceptable price.

Time Deposits and Variable Rate Notes

The Fund may invest in fixed time deposits, whether or not subject to withdrawal penalties.

The commercial paper obligations which the Fund may buy are unsecured and may include variable rate notes. The nature and terms of a variable rate note (i.e., a "Master Note") permit the Fund to invest fluctuating amounts at varying rates of interest pursuant to a direct arrangement between the Fund as lender, and the issuer, as borrower. It permits daily changes in the amounts borrowed. The Fund has the right at any time to increase, up to the full amount stated in the note agreement, or to decrease the amount outstanding under the note. The issuer may prepay at any time and without penalty any part of or the full amount of the note. The note may or may not be backed by one or more bank letters of credit. Because these notes are direct lending arrangements between the Fund and the issuer, it is not generally contemplated that they will be traded; moreover, there is currently no secondary market for them. Except as specifically provided in the Prospectus, there is no limitation on the type of issuer from whom these notes may be purchased; however, in connection with such purchase and on an ongoing basis, the Fund's Adviser will consider the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and interest on demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes made demand simultaneously. Variable rate notes are subject to the Fund's investment restriction on illiquid securities unless such notes can be put back to the issuer on demand within seven days.

U.S. Government Securities

The Fund may invest in U.S. government securities.  These securities may be backed by the credit of the government as a whole or only by the issuing agency.  U.S. Treasury bonds, notes, and bills and some agency securities, such as those issued by the Federal Housing Administration and the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as to payment of principal and interest and are the highest quality government securities.  Other securities issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, such as securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), are generally supported only by the credit of the agency that issued them, and not by the U.S. government.  Securities issued by the Federal Farm Credit System, the Federal Land Banks, and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) are supported by the agency's right to borrow money from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, but are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

The Fund's investments in U.S. Government securities may include agency step-up obligations.  These obligations are structured with a coupon rate that "steps-up" periodically over the life of the obligation.  Step-up obligations typically contain a call option, permitting the issuer to buy back the obligation upon exercise of the option.  Step-up obligations are designed for investors who are unwilling to invest in a long-term security in a low interest rate environment.  Step-up obligations are used in an attempt to reduce the risk of a price decline should interest rates rise significantly at any time during the life of the obligation.  However, step-up obligations also carry the risk that market interest rates may be significantly below the new, stepped-up coupon rate.  If this occurs, the issuer of the obligation likely will exercise the call option, leaving investors with cash to reinvest.  As a result, these obligations may expose the Fund to the risk that proceeds from a called security may be reinvested in another security paying a lower rate of interest.

Warrants

Warrants are securities that are usually issued with a bond or preferred stock but may trade separately in the market. A warrant allows its holder to purchase a specified amount of common stock at a specified price for a specified time.  The risk in investing in warrants is the Adviser might miscalculate their value, resulting in a loss to the Fund.  Another risk is the warrants will not realize their value because the underlying common stock does reach the Adviser's anticipated price within the life of the warrant.

When-Issued, Forward Commitments and Delayed Settlements

The Fund may purchase and sell securities on a when-issued, forward commitment or delayed settlement basis. In this event, the Fund's custodian will segregate liquid assets equal to the amount of the commitment in a separate account. Normally, the custodian will set aside portfolio securities to satisfy a purchase commitment. In such a case, the Fund subsequently may be required to segregate additional assets in order to assure that the value of the account remains equal to the amount of the Fund's commitment. It may be expected that the Fund's net assets will fluctuate to a greater degree when it sets aside portfolio securities to cover such purchase commitments than when it sets aside cash.

The Fund does not intend to engage in these transactions for speculative purposes but only in furtherance of its investment objectives. Because the Fund will segregate liquid assets to satisfy its purchase commitments in the manner described, the Fund's liquidity and the ability of the Adviser to manage them may be affected in the event the Fund's forward commitments, commitments to purchase when-issued securities and delayed settlements ever exceeded 15% of the value of its net assets.

The Fund will purchase securities on a when-issued, forward commitment or delayed settlement basis only with the intention of completing the transaction. If deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy, however, the Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a commitment after it is entered into, and may sell securities it has committed to purchase before those securities are delivered to the Fund on the settlement date. In these cases the Fund may realize a taxable capital gain or loss. When the Fund engages in when-issued, forward commitment and delayed settlement transactions, it relies on the other party to consummate the trade. Failure of such party to do so may result in the Fund incurring a loss or missing an opportunity to obtain a price credited to be advantageous.

The market value of the securities underlying a when-issued purchase, forward commitment to purchase securities, or a delayed settlement and any subsequent fluctuations in their market value is taken into account when determining the market value of the Fund starting on the day the Fund agrees to purchase the securities. The Fund does not earn interest on the securities it has committed to purchase until it has paid for and delivered on the settlement date.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund may sell a portfolio investment soon after its acquisition if the Adviser believes that such a disposition is consistent with attaining the investment objective of the Fund.  Portfolio investments may be sold for a variety of reasons, such as a more favorable investment opportunity or other circumstances bearing on the desirability of continuing to hold such investments.  A high rate of portfolio turnover (over 100%) may involve correspondingly greater transaction costs, which must be borne directly by the Fund and ultimately by its shareholders.  High portfolio turnover may result in the realization of substantial net capital gains.  To the extent short-term capital gains are realized, distributions attributable to such gains will be ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Investment Restrictions

Fundamental Investment Limitations.  The investment limitations described below have been adopted by the Trust with respect to the Fund and are fundamental ("Fundamental") (i.e., they may not be changed without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund).  As used in the Prospectus and the Statement of Additional Information, the term "majority" of the outstanding shares of the Fund means the lesser of:  (1) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund is present or represented at such meeting; or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. Other investment practices, which may be changed by the Board of Trustees without the approval of shareholders to the extent permitted by applicable law, regulation or regulatory policy, are considered non-fundamental ("Non-Fundamental").

1.  Borrowing Money.  The Fund will not borrow money, except:  (a) from a bank, provided that immediately after such borrowing there is an asset coverage of 300% for all borrowings of the Fund; or (b) from a bank or other persons for temporary purposes only, provided that such temporary borrowings are in an amount not exceeding 5% of the Fund's total assets at the time when the borrowing is made.  This limitation does not preclude the Fund from entering into reverse repurchase transactions.

2.  Senior Securities.  The Fund will not issue senior securities.  This limitation is not applicable to activities that may be deemed to involve the issuance or sale of a senior security by the Fund, provided that the Fund's engagement in such activities is consistent with or permitted by the 1940 Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or interpretations of the SEC or its staff.

3.  Underwriting.  The Fund will not underwrite securities of other issuers, except  to the extent the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of disposing of portfolio securities or when selling its own shares.

4.  Real Estate.  The Fund will not purchase or sell real estate, unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments.  This limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable securities that are secured by or represent interests in real estate.  This limitation does not preclude the Fund from investing in mortgage-related securities or investing in companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

5.  Commodities.  The Fund will not purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts except as may be permitted by the 1940 Act, or unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other investments.  This limitation does not preclude the Fund from purchasing, selling  and entering into financial futures contracts (including futures contracts on indices of securities, interest rates, and currencies), warrants, swaps, forward contracts, foreign currency spot and forward contracts or other derivative instruments, including derivatives related to physical commodities; or purchasing or selling securities or other instruments backed by commodities; or purchasing or selling securities of companies that are engaged in a commodities business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

6.  Loans.  The Fund will not make loans to other persons, except:  (a) by loaning portfolio securities; (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements; or (c) by purchasing debt securities.  For purposes of this limitation, the term "loans" shall not include the purchase of a portion of an issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other securities.

7.  Concentration.  The Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular industry or group of industries, except as permitted by the SEC.  This limitation does not apply to investments in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or repurchase agreements with respect thereto.

With respect to the percentages adopted by the Trust as maximum limitations on its investment policies and limitations, an excess above the fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation unless the excess results immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or the action taken.  This paragraph does not apply to the borrowing policy set forth in paragraph 1 above.

Notwithstanding any of the foregoing limitations, any investment company, whether organized as a trust, association or corporation, or a personal holding company, may be merged or consolidated with or acquired by the Trust, provided that if such merger, consolidation or acquisition results in an investment in the securities of any issuer prohibited by said paragraphs, the Trust shall, within ninety days after the consummation of such merger, consolidation or acquisition, dispose of all of the securities of such issuer so acquired or such portion thereof as shall bring the total investment therein within the limitations imposed by said paragraphs above as of the date of consummation.

Non-Fundamental.  The following limitations have been adopted by the Trust with respect to the Fund and are Non-Fundamental (see "Investment Limitations - Fundamental" above).

1.  Pledging.  The Fund will not mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or in any manner transfer, as security for indebtedness, any assets of the Fund except as may be necessary in connection with borrowings described in limitation (1) above.  Margin deposits, security interests, liens and collateral arrangements with respect to transactions involving options, futures contracts, short sales and other permitted investments and techniques are not deemed to be a mortgage, pledge or hypothecation of assets for purposes of this limitation.

2.  Borrowing.  The Fund will not purchase any security while borrowings (including reverse repurchase agreements) representing more than one-third of its total assets are outstanding.

3.  Margin Purchases.  The Fund will not purchase securities or evidences of interest thereon on "margin."  This limitation is not applicable to short-term credit obtained by the Fund for the clearance of purchases and sales or redemption of securities, or to arrangements with respect to transactions involving options.

4.  Illiquid Investments.  The Fund will not invest 15% or more of its net assets in securities for which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale and other illiquid securities.

MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND

The Board of Trustees supervises the business activities of the Trust and appoints the officers.  Each Trustee serves as a trustee until the termination of the Trust unless the Trustee dies, resigns, retires or is removed.  As of the date of this SAI, the Fund is the only series in the "Fund Complex."  The Board will generally meet four times a year to review the progress and status of the Fund.  

Board Leadership Structure

The Trust is led by Mr. Adam M. Hutt, who has served as the Chairman of the Board since the Trust was organized in 2012.  Mr. Hutt is an interested person by virtue of his controlling interest in AMH Equity, Ltd. (the Trust's investment adviser).  The Board of Trustees is comprised of Mr. Hutt and three "Independent Trustees" (those persons who are not interested persons of the Trust as defined in the 1940 Act).   The Independent Trustees have not selected a Lead Independent Trustee.  Additionally, because certain 1940 Act governance guidelines may apply to the Trust from time to time, the Independent Trustees will meet in executive session, at least quarterly.  Under the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, the Chairman of the Board, in his capacity as a Trustee and officer is generally responsible for (a) presiding at board meetings, (b) calling special meetings on an as-needed basis, (c) execution and administration of Trust policies including (i) setting the agendas for board meetings and (ii) providing information to board members in advance of each board meeting and between board meetings.  Generally, the Trust believes it best to have an executive Chairman of the Board, who also serves as President (principal executive officer) and who is seen by our shareholders, business partners and other stakeholders as providing strong leadership.  The Trust believes that its Chairman, the independent chair of the Audit Committee, and, as an entity, the full Board of Trustees, provide effective leadership that is in the best interests of the Trust, its Fund and each shareholder because of the Board's collective business acumen and strong understanding of the regulatory framework under which investment companies must operate.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board of Trustees is comprised of Mr. Hutt and three Independent Trustees with a standing independent Audit Committee with a separate chair. The Board is responsible for overseeing risk management, and the full Board regularly engages in discussions of risk management and receives compliance reports that inform its oversight of risk management from its Chief Compliance Officer at quarterly meetings and on an ad hoc basis, when and if necessary.  The Audit Committee considers financial and reporting risk within its area of responsibilities.  Generally, the Board believes that its oversight of material risks is adequately maintained through the compliance-reporting chain where the Chief Compliance Officer is the primary recipient and communicator of such risk-related information.

Trustee Qualifications

Generally, the Trust believes that each Trustee is competent to serve because of their individual overall merits including: (i) experience, (ii) qualifications, (iii) attributes and (iv) skills.  Mr. Hutt has over 20 years of business experience in the investment management and brokerage business and possesses a strong understanding of the regulatory framework under which investment companies must operate.  Mr. Peter Y. Mills has over a decade of experience in the financial markets as a private investor and possesses a strong understanding of financial accounting through his service as Vice President of Finance for Kadmon Corporation, LLC, a privately held bio-pharmacuetical company.  Mr. Alan S. Pernick has over two decades of business experience as an executive in the pharmacuetical industry.  Ms. Jamia C. Jasper has over a decade of experience in the investment management business.  Ms. Jasper served as a Relationship Manager and Credit Analyst with Bank of New York prior to serving as the President of AmerIsrael Capital Management, LLC.  Additionally, Ms. Jasper possesses a strong understanding of the regulatory framework under which investment companies must operate based on her service as a board member of American Israeli Shared Values Trust.  The Trust does not believe any one factor is determinative in assessing a Trustee's qualifications, but that the collective experience of each Trustee makes them each highly qualified.

*The term "Fund Complex" refers to Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust.  

Trustee and Management Ownership

As of February 1, 2013, the Trustees and officers, as a group, owned 100% of the shares of the Fund.

CODE OF ETHICS

Pursuant to the requirements of rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act and in order to protect against certain unlawful acts, practices and courses of business by certain individuals or entities related to the Fund, the Trust, Distributor and the Adviser have each adopted a Code of Ethics and procedures for implementing the provisions of their respective Code.  The personnel of the Trust and the Adviser are subject to the Code of Ethics, including when investing in securities that may be purchased, sold or held by the Fund.

CONTROL PERSONS AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

Control Persons

A control person is one who owns beneficially or through controlled companies more than 25% of the voting securities of a company or acknowledged the existence of control.  As of February 1, 2013, the Fund is controlled by Mr. Hutt because he owns 100% of the Fund's shares.  It is expected that once the Fund commences investment operations and its shares are sold to the public that the initial shareholder's control will be diluted until such time as the Fund is controlled by its unaffiliated shareholders.

As of February 1, 2013, other than Mr. Hutt, no shareholders of record owned 5% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.  

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER SERVICES

Investment Adviser

The Trustees selected AMH Equity, Ltd. as the investment adviser to the Fund.  Adam M. Hutt owns a majority of the Adviser and is deemed to control the Adviser.

Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trustees, the Adviser manages the Fund's securities and investments in accordance with the Fund's stated investment objectives and policies, makes investment decisions and places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Fund.  The fee paid to the Adviser is governed by an investment management agreement ("Management Agreement") between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equivalent to 2.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  

Under the Management Agreement, the Adviser, under the supervision of the Board, agrees to invest the assets of the Fund in accordance with applicable law and the investment objective, policies and restrictions set forth in the Fund's current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and subject to such further limitations as the Trust may from time to time impose by written notice to the Adviser.  The Adviser shall act as the investment adviser to the Fund and, as such shall (i) obtain and evaluate such information relating to the economy, industries, business, securities markets and securities as it may deem necessary or useful in discharging its responsibilities here under, (ii) formulate a continuing program for the investment of the assets of the Fund in a manner consistent with its investment objective, policies and restrictions, and (iii) determine from time to time securities to be purchased, sold, retained or lent by the Fund, and implement those decisions, including the selection of entities with or through which such purchases, sales or loans are to be effected; provided, that the Adviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations either directly with the issuer or with a broker or dealer, and if with a broker or dealer, (a) will attempt to obtain the best price and execution of its orders, and (b) may nevertheless in its discretion purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers who provide the Adviser with research, analysis, advice and similar services and pay such brokers in return a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers. The Adviser also provides the Fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the Fund's investments, compensates all officers, Trustees and employees of the Trust who are officers, directors or employees of the Adviser, and all personnel of the Fund or the Adviser performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities. The Management Agreement was approved by the Board of the Trust, including by a majority of the Independent Trustees, at a meeting held on December 6, 2012; and approved by the Fund’s sole shareholder on January 8, 2013.

Expenses not expressly assumed by the Adviser under the Management Agreement or an expense limitation agreement described below are paid by the Fund. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Fund is responsible for the payment of the following expenses among others: (a) the fees payable to the Adviser, (b) the fees and expenses of Trustees who are not affiliated persons of the Adviser (c) the fees and certain expenses of the Custodian and Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent (as defined under the section entitled "Transfer Agent"), including the cost of maintaining certain required records of the Fund and of pricing the Fund's shares, (d) fees and expenses of the shareholder service agent, plan agent, administrator, accounting and pricing services agent and underwriter of the Fund, (e) the charges and expenses of legal counsel and independent accountants for the Fund, (f) brokerage commissions and any issue or transfer taxes chargeable to the Fund in connection with its securities transactions, (g) all taxes and corporate fees payable by the Fund to governmental agencies, (h) expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the sale or distribution of the Fund's shares that the Fund is authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1, (i) the cost of share certificates representing shares of the Fund, (j) the cost of fidelity and liability insurance, (k) the fees and expenses involved in registering and maintaining registration of the Fund and of its shares with the SEC, qualifying its shares under state securities laws, including the preparation and printing of the Fund's registration statements and prospectuses for such purposes, (l) all expenses of shareholders and Trustees' meetings (including travel expenses of Trustees and officers of the Fund who are directors, officers or employees of the Adviser) and of preparing, printing and mailing reports, proxy statements and prospectuses to shareholders in the amount necessary for distribution to the shareholders, (m) the Fund's share of the Trust's organizational expenses and (n) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund's business.

The Adviser has agreed to advance organizational expenses and offering expenses incurred before the commencement of Fund operations.  The Adviser also has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 31, 2014 to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any 12b-1 fees, interest expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 2.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively.  This agreement may be terminated only by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the Adviser.  Fee waiver and reimbursement arrangements can decrease the Fund's expenses and boost its performance.

The Management Agreement will continue in effect for two years initially and thereafter shall continue from year to year provided such continuance is approved at least annually by (a) a vote of the majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting specifically called for the purpose of voting on such approval and by (b) the majority vote of all of the Trustees, or the vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund. The Management Agreement may be terminated without penalty on 60 days written notice by a vote of a majority of the Trustees or by the Adviser, or by holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares. The Management Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

Adam M. Hutt and David A. Hanover are the portfolio managers responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.  As of December 31, 2012, Mr. Hutt was responsible for the management of the following other types of accounts (other than the Fund):

Conflicts of Interest

As indicated in the table above, a portfolio manager may manage numerous accounts for multiple clients.  These accounts may include registered investment companies, other types of pooled accounts (e.g., collective investment funds), and separate accounts (i.e., accounts managed on behalf of individuals or public or private institutions).  The portfolio managers make investment decisions for each account based on the investment objectives and policies and other relevant investment considerations applicable to that portfolio.

When a portfolio manager has responsibility for managing more than one account, potential conflicts of interest may arise.  Those conflicts could include preferential treatment of one account over others in terms of allocation of resources or of investment opportunities. For instance, the AMH may receive fees from certain accounts that are higher than the fee it receives from the Fund, or it may receive a performance-based fee on certain accounts. In those instances, the portfolio managers may have an incentive to favor the higher and/or performance-based fee accounts over the Fund.  The Adviser has adopted policies and procedures designed to address these potential material conflicts.  For instance, the Adviser utilizes a system for allocating investment opportunities among portfolios that is designed to provide a fair and equitable allocation.

Each portfolio manager's compensation is based on salary and a discretionary bonus that is not tied to the performance of the Fund.  Mr. Hutt also receives the profits of the Adviser, if any.  

Distributor

Arbor Court Capital, LLC, located at 2000 Auburn Dr., Suite 120, Cleveland, OH 44122 (the "Distributor") serves as the principal underwriter and national distributor for the shares of the Trust pursuant to an underwriting agreement with the Trust (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Distributor is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, certain state's securities laws and is a member of FINRA. The offering of the Fund's shares are continuous. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the Distributor, as agent in connection with the distribution of Fund shares, will use its best efforts to distribute the Fund's shares.

The Underwriting Agreement provides that, unless sooner terminated, it will continue in effect for two years initially and thereafter shall continue from year to year, subject to annual approval by (a) the Board or a vote of a majority of the outstanding shares, and (b) by a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or of the Distributor by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.

The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the entire Board of the Trust or by vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Fund on 60 days written notice to the Distributor, or by the Distributor at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on 60 days written notice to the Fund. The Underwriting Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment.

Rule 12b-1 Plans

With respect to the Fund, the Trust has adopted Distribution Plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plans").  Under the Plans, the Trust may engage in activities related to the distribution of the Fund's shares, including without limitation the following:  (a) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers and others that are engaged in the sale of shares, or that may be advising shareholders regarding the purchase, sale or retention of shares; (b) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries, financial institutions, investment advisers and others that hold shares of the Fund for shareholders in omnibus accounts or as shareholders of record or provide shareholder support or administrative services to the Fund and its shareholders; (c) expenses of maintaining personnel (including personnel of organizations with which the Trust has entered into agreements related to the Plan) who engage in or support distribution of shares or who render shareholder support services not otherwise provided by the Trust's transfer agent, including, but not limited to, allocated overhead, office space and equipment, telephone facilities and expenses, answering routine inquiries regarding the Trust, processing shareholder transactions, and providing such other shareholder services as the Trust may reasonably request; (d) costs of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses and statements of additional information and reports of the Fund for recipients other than existing shareholders of the Fund; (e) costs of formulating and implementing marketing and promotional activities, including, but not limited to, sales seminars, direct mail promotions and television, radio, newspaper, magazine and other mass media advertising; (f) costs of preparing, printing and distributing sales literature; (g) costs of obtaining such information, analyses and reports with respect to marketing and promotional activities as the Trust may, from time to time, deem advisable; and (h) costs of implementing and operating the Plans.

The Trustees expect that the Plans will result in the sale or retention of a sufficient number of shares so as to allow the Fund to maintain economic viability.  It is also anticipated that an increase in the size of the Fund will facilitate more efficient portfolio management and assist the Fund in seeking to achieve its investment objective.

Payments under the Plans are made to the Distributor (or its designee), which uses them to pay distribution and shareholder service expenses on behalf of and as agent of the Fund.  The Class A shares pay at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the class, and the Class C shares pay at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the class.  The Plans are compensation plans, which means that payments are made to the Distributor regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred.  Therefore, payments under the Plans may exceed distribution and shareholder service expenses incurred pursuant to the Plans, and the Distributor is permitted to retain the excess.  It is also possible that 12b-1 expenses incurred by the Fund for a period will exceed the payments received by the Distributor, in which case the Distributor or Adviser may pay such excess expenses out of its own resources.  Payments received by the Adviser under the Plans are in addition to the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Management Agreement.  Because these 12b-1 expenses are paid out of Fund assets on an ongoing basis, over time these 12b-1 expenses will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales loads.

Continuation of the Plans and the related agreements must be approved annually by the Trustees, including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the Plans or any related agreement, and the Plans or any related agreement may be terminated at any time without penalty by a majority of such independent Trustees or by a majority of the Fund's outstanding shares.  Any amendment increasing the maximum percentage payable under the Plans must be approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable Class, and all other material amendments to the Plans or any related agreement must be approved by a majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees.

The Distributor or other entities also receive the contingent deferred sales charges imposed on certain redemptions of shares, which are separate and apart from payments made pursuant to the Plans.

Custodian

U.S. Bank N.A., located at 1555 N. Rivercenter Drive, Milwaukee, WI  53212, serves as the Fund's custodian ("Custodian").  The Custodian acts as the Fund's depository, provides safekeeping of its portfolio securities, collects all income and other payments with respect thereto, disburses funds at the Fund's request and maintains records in connection with its duties.

Fund Services

Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC ("MSS"), 8000 Town Centre Drive, Suite 400, Broadview Heights, Ohio 44147-4003, acts as the transfer agent ("Transfer Agent") for the Fund.  MSS maintains the records of the shareholder's account, answers shareholders' inquiries concerning their accounts, processes purchases and redemptions of the Fund's shares, acts as dividend and distribution disbursing agent and performs other transfer agent and shareholder service functions.  MSS receives an annual fee from the Trust of $11.50 per shareholder (subject to a minimum monthly fee of $775.00 per Fund) for these transfer agency services.

In addition, MSS provides the Fund with fund accounting services, which includes certain monthly reports, record-keeping and other management-related services. For its services as fund accountant ("Fund Accounting Agent"), MSS receives an annual fee from the Trust based on the average value of the Fund.  These fees are: from $0 up to less than $25 million in assets the annual fee is $22,500, from $25 million up to less than $50 million in assets the annual fee is $31,700, from $50 million up to less than $75 million in assets the annual fee is $37,450, from $75 million up to less than $100 million in assets the annual fee is $43,200, from $100 million up to less than $125 million in assets the annual fee is $48,950, from $125 million up to less than $150 million in assets the annual fee is $54,700, from $150 million up to less than $200 million in assets the annual fee is $60,450, from $200 million up to less than $300 million in assets the annual fee is $60,450 plus 0.01% on assets greater than $200 million and for assets above $300 million the annual fee is $70,450 plus 0.005% on assets greater than $300 million.  

The Trust will receive a discount from MSS ranging from approximately 10-50% depending on the assets of the Fund until the Fund exceeds $10 million in assets.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The firm of Skoda Minotti & Co., 6685 Beta Drive, Mayfield Village, OH  44143, has been selected as independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2014.  Skoda Minotti & Co. will perform an annual audit of the Fund's financial statements and provides financial, tax and accounting services as requested.

Legal Counsel

Thompson Hine LLP, 312 Walnut Street, 14th Floor, Cincinnati, OH  45202, serves as the Trust's legal counsel.

BROKERAGE ALLOCATION AND OTHER PRACTICES

Subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees, the Adviser is responsible for the Fund's portfolio decisions and the placing of the Fund's portfolio transactions.  In placing portfolio transactions, the Adviser seeks the best qualitative execution for the Fund, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), the execution capability, financial responsibility and responsiveness of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research services provided by the broker or dealer.  The Adviser generally seeks favorable prices and commission rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.

The Adviser is specifically authorized to select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Adviser exercises investment discretion, and to pay such brokers or dealers a commission in excess of the commission another broker or dealer would charge if the Adviser determines in good faith that the commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided.  The determination may be viewed in terms of a particular transaction or the Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Trust and to other accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.  The Adviser may not give consideration to sales of shares of the Trust as a factor in the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions.  However, the Adviser may place portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that promote or sell the Fund's shares so long as such placements are made pursuant to policies approved by the Board of Trustees that are designed to ensure that the selection is based on the quality of the broker's execution and not on its sales efforts.

Research services include supplemental research, securities and economic analyses, statistical services and information with respect to the availability of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities, and analyses of reports concerning performance of accounts. The research services and other information furnished by brokers through whom the Fund effects securities transactions may also be used by the Adviser in servicing all of its accounts.  Similarly, research and information provided by brokers or dealers serving other clients may be useful to the Adviser in connection with its services to the Fund.  Although research services and other information are useful to the Fund and the Adviser, it is not possible to place a dollar value on the research and other information received.  It is the opinion of the Board of Trustees and the Adviser that the review and study of the research and other information will not reduce the overall cost to the Adviser of performing its duties to the Fund.

Over-the-counter transactions will be placed either directly with principal market makers or with broker-dealers, if the same or a better price, including commissions and executions, is available.  Fixed income securities are normally purchased directly from the issuer, an underwriter or a market maker.  Purchases include a concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter and the purchase price paid to a market maker may include the spread between the bid and asked prices.

When the Fund and another of the Adviser's clients seek to purchase or sell the same security at or about the same time, the Adviser may execute the transaction on a combined ("blocked") basis.  Blocked transactions can produce better execution for the Fund because of the increased volume of the transaction. If the entire blocked order is not filled, the Fund may not be able to acquire as large a position in such security as it desires or it may have to pay a higher price for the security.  Similarly, the Fund may not be able to obtain as large an execution of an order to sell or as high a price for any particular portfolio security if the other client desires to sell the same portfolio security at the same time. In the event that the entire blocked order is not filled, the purchase or sale will normally be allocated on a pro rata basis.  The Adviser may adjust the allocation when, taking into account such factors as the size of the individual orders and transaction costs, the Adviser believes an adjustment is reasonable

DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund is required to include a schedule of portfolio holdings in the annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders, which is sent to shareholders within 60 days of the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters and which is filed with the SEC on Form N-CSR within 70 days of the end of the second and fourth fiscal quarters.  The Fund also is required to file a schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC on Form N-Q within 60 days of the end of the first and third fiscal quarters.  The Fund must provide a copy of the complete schedule of portfolio holdings as filed with the SEC to any shareholder of the Fund, upon request, free of charge.  This policy is applied uniformly to all shareholders of the Fund without regard to the type of requesting shareholder (i.e., regardless of whether the shareholder is an individual or institutional investor).  The Fund may also, from time to time, list the Fund's top ten holdings on its website.  The Fund may enter into ongoing arrangements to release portfolio holdings to rating agencies, such as Morningstar or Lipper, in order for the agencies to assign a rating or ranking to the Fund.  Portfolio holdings will be supplied to rating agencies no more frequently than quarterly and only after the Fund has filed a Form N-CSR or Form N-Q with the SEC.  The Fund currently does not have any ongoing arrangements to release portfolio holdings information to rating agencies.

Pursuant to policies and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, the Fund has ongoing arrangements to release portfolio holdings information on a daily basis to the Adviser, Distributor, Transfer Agent, Fund Accounting Agent and Custodian and on an as needed basis to other third parties providing services to the Fund.  The Adviser, Transfer Agent, Fund Accounting Agent and Custodian receive portfolio holdings information daily in order to carry out the essential operations of the Fund.  The Fund discloses portfolio holdings to their auditors, legal counsel, proxy voting services (if applicable), pricing services, printers parties to merger and reorganization agreements and their agents, and prospective or newly hired investment advisers or sub-advisers.  The lag between the date of the information and the date on which the information is disclosed will vary based on the identity of the party to whom the information is disclosed.  For instance, the information may be provided to auditors within days of the end of an annual period, while the information may be given to legal counsel at any time.

The Fund, the Adviser, the Distributor, the Transfer Agent, the Fund Accounting Agent and the Custodian are prohibited from entering into any special or ad hoc arrangements with any person to make available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings without the specific approval of the Board.  Any party wishing to release portfolio holdings information on an ad hoc or special basis must  submit any proposed arrangement to the Board, which will review the arrangement to determine (i) whether the arrangement is in the best interests of the Fund's shareholders, (ii) the information will be kept confidential (based on the factors discussed below),  (iii) whether sufficient protections are in place to guard against personal trading based on the information, and (iv) whether the disclosure presents a conflict of interest between the interests of Fund shareholders and those of the Adviser, or any affiliated person of the Fund or the Adviser. Additionally, the Adviser, and any affiliated persons of the Adviser, are prohibited from receiving compensation or other consideration, for themselves or on behalf of the Fund, as a result of disclosing the Fund's portfolio holdings.  The Fund's Chief Compliance Officer monitors compliance with these procedures, and reviews their effectiveness on an annual basis.

Information disclosed to third parties, whether on an ongoing or ad hoc basis, is disclosed under conditions of confidentiality.  "Conditions of Confidentiality" include (i) confidentiality clauses in written agreements, (ii) confidentiality implied by the nature of the relationship (e.g., attorney-client relationship), (iii) confidentiality required by fiduciary or regulatory principles (e.g., custody relationships) or (iv) understandings or expectations between the parties that the information will be kept confidential.  The agreements with the Fund's Adviser, Distributor, Transfer Agent, Fund Accounting Agent and Custodian contain confidentiality clauses, which the Board and these parties have determined extend to the disclosure of nonpublic information about the Fund's portfolio holding and the duty not to trade on the non-public information.  The Fund believes, based upon its size and history, that these are reasonable procedures to protect the confidentiality of the Fund's portfolio holdings and will provide sufficient protection against personal trading based on the information.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROGRAM

The Trust has established an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Program (the "Program") as required by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 ("USA PATRIOT Act"). To ensure compliance with this law, the Trust's Program provides for the development of internal practices, procedures and controls, designation of anti-money laundering compliance officers, an ongoing training program and an independent audit function to determine the effectiveness of the Program.  The Program’s compliance officer is the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer.

Procedures to implement the Program include, but are not limited to, determining that the Fund's Transfer Agent have established proper anti-money laundering procedures, reported suspicious and/or fraudulent activity and a complete and thorough review of all new opening account applications. The Trust will not transact business with any person or entity whose identity cannot be adequately verified under the provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act.

As a result of the Program, the Trust may be required to "freeze" the account of a shareholder if the shareholder appears to be involved in suspicious activity or if certain account information matches information on government lists of known terrorists or other suspicious persons, or the Trust may be required to transfer the account or proceeds of the account to a governmental agency.

PURCHASE, REDEMPTION AND PRICING OF SHARES

Purchase of Shares

Investors may purchase Fund shares after receipt of a current prospectus and by filling out and submitting an application supplied by the Fund.  You also may purchase shares through a brokerage firm or other intermediary that has contracted with the Trust to sell shares of the Fund.  Orders for shares received by the Fund in good order prior to the close of business on the NYSE on each day during such periods that the NYSE is open for trading are priced at net asset value (NAV) per share or offering price (NAV plus a sales charge, if applicable) computed as of the close of the regular session of trading on the NYSE. Orders received in good order after the close of the NYSE, or on a day it is not open for trading, are priced at the close of such NYSE on the next day on which it is open for trading at the next determined NAV or offering price per share.

You may buy shares on any "business day."  Business days are Monday through Friday, other than days the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is closed, including the following holidays:  New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas Day.

Redemption of Shares

The Fund will redeem all or any portion of a shareholder's shares in the Fund when requested in accordance with the procedures set forth in the "How to Redeem Shares" section of the Prospectus. Under the 1940 Act, a shareholder's right to redeem shares and to receive payment therefore may be suspended at times:

(a) 

when the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings;

(b) 

when trading on that exchange is restricted for any reason;

(c) 

when an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets, provided that applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any succeeding governmental authority) will govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in (b) or (c) exist; or

(d) 

when the Securities and Exchange Commission by order permits a suspension of the right to redemption or a postponement of the date of payment on redemption.

In case of suspension of the right of redemption, payment of a redemption request will be made based on the NAV next determined after the termination of the suspension.

The redemption price is the NAV next determined after notice is received by the Fund for redemption of shares, minus the amount of any applicable redemption fee. The proceeds received by the shareholder may be more or less than his/her cost of such shares, depending upon the NAV at the time of redemption and the difference should be treated by the shareholder as a capital gain or loss for federal and state income tax purposes.

The Fund may purchase shares of "Underlying Funds" (other investment companies) which charge a redemption fee to shareholders (such as the Fund) that redeem shares of the Underlying Fund within a certain period of time (such as one year). The fee is payable to the Underlying Fund. Accordingly, if the Fund were to invest in an Underlying Fund and incur a redemption fee as a result of redeeming shares in such Underlying Fund, the Fund would bear such redemption fee. The Fund will not, however, invest in shares of an Underlying Fund that is sold with a contingent deferred sales load.

Supporting documents in addition to those listed under "How to Redeem Shares" in the Prospectus will be required from executors, administrators, Trustees, or if redemption is requested by someone other than the shareholder of record. Such documents include, but are not restricted to, stock powers, Trust instruments, certificates of death, appointments as executor, certificates of corporate authority and waiver of tax required in some states when settling estates.

Redemption Fee/Market Timing

The Fund discourages and does not accommodate market timing.  Market timing is an investment strategy using frequent purchases and redemptions and/or exchanges in an attempt to profit from short term market movements.  Market timing may result in dilution of the value of Fund shares held by long term shareholders, disrupt portfolio management, and increase Fund expenses for all shareholders.  The Board of Trustees has adopted a policy requiring the Fund's transfer agent to monitor shareholder activity for purchases and redemptions and/or exchanges that reasonably indicate market timing activity.  The transfer agent does not employ an objective standard and may not be able to identify all market timing activity or may misidentify certain trading activity as market timing activity.  The Board of Trustees also has adopted a redemption policy to discourage short term traders and/ or market timers from investing in the Fund.  A 2.00% fee will be assessed against investment proceeds withdrawn within 90 days of investment. Shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last.  The redemption fee is intended to offset the costs associated with short-term shareholder trading and is retained by the Fund.

While the Fund attempts to deter market timing, there is no assurance that it will be able to identify and eliminate all market timers.  For example, certain accounts called "omnibus accounts" include multiple shareholders.  Omnibus accounts typically provide the Fund with a net purchase or redemption request on any given day where purchasers of Fund shares and redeemers of Fund shares are netted against one another and the identity of individual purchasers and redeemers whose orders are aggregated is not known by the Fund.  The netting effect often makes it more difficult to apply redemption fees, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will be able to apply the fee to such accounts in an effective manner.  Brokers maintaining omnibus accounts with the Fund have agreed to provide shareholder transaction information, to the extent known to the broker, to the Fund upon request.  If the Fund becomes aware of market timing in an omnibus account, it will work with the broker maintaining the omnibus account to identify the shareholder engaging in the market timing activity.  In addition to the redemption fee, the Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase order for any reason, including purchase orders that it does not think are in the best interest of the Fund or its shareholders or if the Fund thinks that trading is abusive.

Waivers of Redemption Fees: The Fund has elected not to impose the redemption fee for:

o

redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares acquired through the reinvestment of dividends and distributions;

o

certain types of redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares owned through participant-directed retirement plans;

o

redemptions or exchanges in discretionary asset allocation, fee based or wrap programs ("wrap programs") that are initiated by the sponsor/financial adviser as part of a periodic rebalancing;

o

redemptions or exchanges in a fee based or wrap program that are made as a result of a full withdrawal from the wrap program or as part of a systematic withdrawal plan including the Fund's systematic withdrawal plan;

o

involuntary redemptions, such as those resulting from a shareholder's failure to maintain a minimum investment in the Fund, or to pay shareholder fees; or

o

other types of redemptions as the Adviser or the Trust may determine in special situations and approved by the Fund's or the Adviser's Chief Compliance Officer.

Pricing of Shares

The net asset value (NAV) of the shares of the Fund is determined at the close of trading (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time) on each day the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business.  For a description of the methods used to determine the net asset value, see "How Shares Are Priced" in the prospectus.

Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price.  Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price.  When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices.  If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.  Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.

REDEMPTION IN KIND

The Fund does not intend to redeem shares in any form except cash.  The Fund reserves the right to honor requests for redemption or repurchase orders made by a shareholders during any 90-day period by making payment in whole or in part in portfolio securities ("redemption in kind") if the amount of such a request is large enough to affect operations (if the request is greater than the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund's net assets at the beginning if the 90-day period).  The securities will be chosen by the Fund and valued using the same procedures as used in calculating the Fund's NAV.  A shareholder will be exposed to market risk until these securities are converted to cash and may incur transaction expenses in converting these securities to cash. In the event that an in kind distribution is made, a shareholder may incur additional expenses, such as the payment of brokerage commissions, on the sale or other disposition of the securities received from the Fund.

TAX STATUS

The following discussion is general in nature and should not be regarded as an exhaustive presentation of all possible tax ramifications. All shareholders should consult a qualified tax adviser regarding their investment in the Fund.

The Fund intends to qualify as regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), which requires compliance with certain requirements concerning the sources of its income, diversification of its assets, and the amount and timing of its distributions to shareholders. Such qualification does not involve supervision of management or investment practices or policies by any government agency or bureau. By so qualifying, the Fund should not be subject to federal income or excise tax on its net investment income or net capital gain, which are distributed to shareholders in accordance with the applicable timing requirements. Net investment income and net capital gain of the Fund will be computed in accordance with Section 852 of the Code.  

Net investment income is made up of dividends and interest less expenses. Net capital gain for a fiscal year is computed by taking into account any capital loss carryforward of the Fund.  Capital losses incurred in tax years beginning after December 22, 2010 may now be carried forward indefinitely and retain the character of the original loss.  Under previously enacted laws, capital losses could be carried forward to offset any capital gains only for eight years, and carried forward as short-term capital losses, irrespective of the character of the original loss.  Capital loss carry forwards are available to offset future realized capital gains. To the extent that these carry forwards are used to offset future capital gains it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

The Fund intends to distribute all of its net investment income, any excess of net short-term capital gains over net long-term capital losses, and any excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses in accordance with the timing requirements imposed by the Code and therefore should not be required to pay any federal income or excise taxes. Distributions of net investment income and net capital gain will be made in shares of the Fund unless a shareholder elects to receive cash.

To be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code, the Fund must also (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to securities loans, net income from certain publicly traded partnerships and gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to the business of investing in such securities or currencies, and (b) diversify its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's assets is represented by cash, U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities (for purposes of this calculation, generally limited in respect of any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the market value of the Fund's assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer) and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets is invested in the securities of (other than U.S. government securities or the securities of other regulated investment companies) any one issuer, two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or the securities of certain publicly traded partnerships.

If the Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M in any fiscal year, it will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. As such, the Fund would be required to pay income taxes on its net investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, at the rates generally applicable to corporations. Shareholders of the Fund generally would not be liable for income tax on the Fund's net investment income or net realized capital gains in their individual capacities. Distributions to shareholders, whether from the Fund's net investment income or net realized capital gains, would be treated as taxable dividends to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits of the Fund.

The Fund is subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on certain undistributed amounts of ordinary income and capital gain under a prescribed formula contained in Section 4982 of the Code. The formula requires payment to shareholders during a calendar year of distributions representing at least 98% of the Fund's ordinary income for the calendar year and at least 98.2% of its capital gain net income (i.e., the excess of its capital gains over capital losses) realized during the one-year period ending October 31 during such year plus 100% of any income that was neither distributed nor taxed to the Fund during the preceding calendar year. Under ordinary circumstances, the Fund expects to time its distributions so as to avoid liability for this tax.

The following discussion of tax consequences is for the general information of shareholders that are subject to tax. Shareholders that are IRAs or other qualified retirement plans are exempt from income taxation under the Code.

Distributions of taxable net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

Distributions of net capital gain ("capital gain dividends") generally are taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain, regardless of the length of time the shares of the Fund have been held by such shareholders.

A redemption of Fund shares by a shareholder will result in the recognition of taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the shareholder's tax basis in his or her Fund shares. Such gain or loss is treated as a capital gain or loss if the shares are held as capital assets. However, any loss realized upon the redemption of shares within six months from the date of their purchase will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as capital gain dividends during such six-month period. All or a portion of any loss realized upon the redemption of shares may be disallowed to the extent shares are purchased (including shares acquired by means of reinvested dividends) within 30 days before or after such redemption.  

Distributions of taxable net investment income and net capital gain will be taxable as described above, whether received in additional cash or shares. Shareholders electing to receive distributions in the form of additional shares will have a cost basis for federal income tax purposes in each share so received equal to the net asset value of a share on the reinvestment date.

All distributions of taxable net investment income and net capital gain, whether received in shares or in cash, must be reported by each taxable shareholder on his or her federal income tax return. Dividends or distributions declared in October, November or December as of a record date in such a month, if any, will be deemed to have been received by shareholders on December 31, if paid during January of the following year. Redemptions of shares may result in tax consequences (gain or loss) to the shareholder and are also subject to these reporting requirements.

Under the Code, the Fund will be required to report to the Internal Revenue Service all distributions of taxable income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption or exchange of Fund shares, except in the case of certain exempt shareholders. Under the backup withholding provisions of Section 3406 of the Code, distributions of taxable net investment income and net capital gain and proceeds from the redemption or exchange of the shares of a regulated investment company may be subject to withholding of federal income tax in the case of non-exempt shareholders who fail to furnish the investment company with their taxpayer identification numbers and with required certifications regarding their status under the federal income tax law, or if the Fund is notified by the IRS or a broker that withholding is required due to an incorrect TIN or a previous failure to report taxable interest or dividends. If the withholding provisions are applicable, any such distributions and proceeds, whether taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be reduced by the amounts required to be withheld.

Options, Futures, Forward Contracts and Swap Agreements

To the extent such investments are permissible for the Fund, the Fund's transactions in options, futures contracts, hedging transactions, forward contracts, straddles and foreign currencies will be subject to special tax rules (including mark-to-market, constructive sale, straddle, wash sale and short sale rules), the effect of which may be to accelerate income to the Fund, defer losses to the Fund, cause adjustments in the holding periods of the Fund's securities, convert long-term capital gains into short-term capital gains and convert short-term capital losses into long-term capital losses. These rules could therefore affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders.

To the extent such investments are permissible, certain of the Fund's hedging activities (including its transactions, if any, in foreign currencies or foreign currency-denominated instruments) are likely to produce a difference between its book income and its taxable income. If the Fund's book income exceeds its taxable income, the distribution (if any) of such excess book income will be treated as (i) a dividend to the extent of the Fund's remaining earnings and profits (including earnings and profits arising from tax-exempt income), (ii) thereafter, as a return of capital to the extent of the recipient's basis in the shares, and (iii) thereafter, as gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset. If the Fund's book income is less than taxable income, the Fund could be required to make distributions exceeding book income to qualify as a regular investment company that is accorded special tax treatment.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

Investment by the Fund in certain "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs") could subject the Fund to a U.S. federal income tax (including interest charges) on distributions received from the company or on proceeds received from the disposition of shares in the company, which tax cannot be eliminated by making distributions to Fund shareholders. However, the Fund may elect to treat a PFIC as a  "qualified electing fund" ("QEF election"), in which case the Fund will be required to include its share of the company's income and net capital gains annually, regardless of whether they receives any distribution from the company.

The Fund also may make an election to mark the gains (and to a limited extent losses) in such holdings "to the market" as though it had sold and repurchased its holdings in those PFICs on the last day of the Fund's taxable year. Such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income and loss. The QEF and mark-to-market elections may accelerate the recognition of income (without the receipt of cash) and increase the amount required to be distributed for the Fund to avoid taxation. Making either of these elections therefore may require the Fund to liquidate other investments (including when it is not advantageous to do so) to meet its distribution requirement, which also may accelerate the recognition of gain and affect the Fund's total return.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The Fund's transactions in foreign currencies, foreign currency-denominated debt securities and certain foreign currency options, futures contracts and forward contracts (and similar instruments) may give rise to ordinary income or loss to the extent such income or loss results from fluctuations in the value of the foreign currency concerned.

Foreign Taxation

Income received by the Fund from sources within foreign countries may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such countries. Tax treaties and conventions between certain countries and the U.S. may reduce or eliminate such taxes. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations, the Fund may be able to elect to "pass through" to the Fund's shareholders the amount of eligible foreign income and similar taxes paid by the Fund. If this election is made, a shareholder generally subject to tax will be required to include in gross income (in addition to taxable dividends actually received) his or her pro rata share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund, and may be entitled either to deduct (as an itemized deduction) his or her pro rata share of foreign taxes in computing his or her taxable income or to use it as a foreign tax credit against his or her U.S. federal income tax liability, subject to certain limitations. In particular, a shareholder must hold his or her shares (without protection from risk of loss) on the ex-dividend date and for at least 15 more days during the 30-day period surrounding the ex-dividend date to be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit with respect to a gain dividend. No deduction for foreign taxes may be claimed by a shareholder who does not itemize deductions. Each shareholder will be notified within 60 days after the close of the Fund's taxable year whether the foreign taxes paid by the Fund will "pass through" for that year.

Generally, a credit for foreign taxes is subject to the limitation that it may not exceed the shareholder's U.S. tax attributable to his or her total foreign source taxable income. For this purpose, if the pass-through election is made, the source of the Fund's income will flow through to shareholders of the Fund. With respect to the Fund, gains from the sale of securities will be treated as derived from U.S. sources and certain currency fluctuation gains, including fluctuation gains from foreign currency-denominated debt securities, receivables and payables will be treated as ordinary income derived from U.S. sources. The limitation on the foreign tax credit is applied separately to foreign source passive income, and to certain other types of income. A shareholder may be unable to claim a credit for the full amount of his or her proportionate share of the foreign taxes paid by the Fund. The foreign tax credit can be used to offset only 90% of the revised alternative minimum tax imposed on corporations and individuals and foreign taxes generally are not deductible in computing alternative minimum taxable income.

Shareholders of the Fund may be subject to state and local taxes on distributions received from the Fund and on redemptions of the Fund's shares.

A brief explanation of the form and character of the distribution accompany each distribution. In January of each year the Fund issues to each shareholder a statement of the federal income tax status of all distributions.

Shareholders should consult their tax advisers about the application of federal, state and local and foreign tax law in light of their particular situation.

PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has delegated responsibilities for decisions regarding proxy voting for securities held by the Fund to the Adviser.  The Adviser will vote such proxies in accordance with its proxy policies and procedures. In some instances, the Adviser may be asked to cast a proxy vote that presents a conflict between the interests of the Fund's shareholders, and those of the Adviser or an affiliated person of the Adviser.  In such a case, the Trust's policy requires that the Adviser abstain from making a voting decision and to forward all necessary proxy voting materials to the Trust to enable the Board of Trustees to make a voting decision.  The Adviser shall make a written recommendation of the voting decision to the Board of Trustees, which shall include: (i) an explanation of why it has a conflict of interest; (ii) the reasons for its recommendation; and (iii) an explanation of why the recommendation is consistent with the Adviser's proxy voting policies.  The Board of Trustees shall make the proxy voting decision that, in its judgment, after reviewing the recommendation of the Adviser, is most consistent with the Adviser's proxy voting policies and in the best interests of Fund shareholders.  When the Board of Trustees of the Trust is required to make a proxy voting decision, only the Trustees without a conflict of interest with regard to the security in question or the matter to be voted upon shall be permitted to participate in the decision of how the Fund's vote will be cast.

The Adviser's policies and procedures are attached as Appendix A.

MORE INFORMATION.  The actual voting records relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 will be available without charge, upon request, by calling toll free, 1-855-270-2676.  The information also will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.  In addition, a copy of the Trust's proxy voting policies and procedures are also available by calling 1-855-270-2676 and will be sent within three business days of receipt of a request.

TeaLeaf Long/Short Deep Value Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

January 8, 2013



1.  ORGANIZATION


The TeaLeaf Long/Short Deep Value Fund (the "Fund") was organized as diversified series of Tea Leaf Management Investment Trust (the "Trust") on July 31, 2012 and ratified as such by the Board of Trustees on December 6, 2012.  The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated July 17, 2012 (the "Trust Agreement") as filed with the Ohio Secretary of State July 27, 2012.  The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value.  The Fund is the only series currently authorized by the Trustees.  The investment adviser to the Fund is AMH Equity, Ltd. (the "Adviser").

The Fund's investment objective is long-term capital appreciation.


On January 8, 2013, 10,000 shares of Class A were issued for cash, at $10.00 per share (load waived), to Adam M. Hutt.


2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the financial statements.


ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS: All costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the organization, offering and initial registration of the Fund, principally professional fees, were paid on behalf of the Fund by the Adviser and will not be borne by the Fund.  


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.


It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This Internal Revenue Code requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.

EXPENSES:  Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust will be allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund's relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Trustees).


USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


SUBSEQUENT EVENTS: The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events.


OTHER:  The Fund records security transactions on the trade date.  Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.


3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


INVESTMENT ADVISER: The Trustees selected AMH Equity, Ltd. as the investment adviser to the Fund. Subject to the supervision and direction of the Trustees, the Adviser manages the Fund's securities and investments in accordance with the Fund's stated investment objectives and policies, makes investment decisions and places orders to purchase and sell securities on behalf of the Fund.  The fee paid to the Adviser is governed by an investment management agreement ("Management Agreement") between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Adviser.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee equivalent to 2.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  


TeaLeaf Long/Short Deep Value Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT

January 8, 2013

The Adviser also has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least until May 31, 2014 to ensure that total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any 12b-1 fees, interest expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, indirect expenses, expenses of other investment companies in which the Fund may invest (acquired fund fees and expenses), or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 2.25% of average daily net assets attributable to Class A, Class C and Class I shares, respectively.  This agreement may be terminated by the Fund's Board of Trustees, on 60 days written notice to the Adviser.  Fee waiver and reimbursement arrangements can decrease the Fund's expenses and boost its performance.


4.  CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS


At January 8, 2013, paid in capital amounted to $100,000. Transactions in capital stock were as follows:


Class A

 

Shares Sold

10,000

Shares Redeemed

___ _-

Net Increase and Shares Outstanding

    10,000


Sales Charge - Class A shares are offered at the public offering price, which is net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge.  The sales charge varies, depending on how much you invest.  There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions. The Fund reserves the right to waive any load under certain conditions.  The Fund waived the sales charge on the initial $100,000 investment.


Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") - Class A shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") on shares redeemed prior to the first 24 months after their purchase in the amount of the commissions paid on the shares redeemed, unless waived.  Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the Class A shares purchased are subject to this CDSC.  The Adviser may advance to, or reimburse, the Fund 1.00% in connection with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class C shares.  When the Adviser makes such a payment, the respective Class C shares are subject to a CDSC payable to the Adviser on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after their purchase in the amount advanced, less any amounts recouped by the Adviser from 12b-1 payments received by the Adviser.  The Adviser may waive imposition of the CDSC at its discretion.  Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the Class C shares purchased are subject to this CDSC.


Redemption Fees - The Fund will impose a 2.00% redemption fee on shares redeemed within 90 days of purchase, unless waived.

5.  DISTRIBUTION (12b-1) PLAN


The Trust has adopted Distribution Plans and Agreements pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the "Plans") pursuant to which the Fund is authorized to pay the Adviser (or its designee), a distribution and shareholder servicing fee.  The Class A shares pay at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the class, and the Class C shares pay at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the class.  Such fees are to be paid by the Fund monthly. Such fees shall be based upon the Fund's average daily net assets during the preceding month, and shall be calculated and accrued daily. The Rule 12b-1 Plans authorize payments to the Adviser (or its designee) as compensation for providing distribution and shareholder servicing expenses, including arranging for certain securities dealers or brokers, administrators and others ("Recipients") to provide these services and paying compensation for these services. The Adviser (or its designee) also receive the proceeds and contingent deferred sales charges imposed on certain redemptions of shares, which are separate and apart from payments made pursuant to the Plans.

6.  BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP


The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates a presumption of control of the Fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act.  A shareholder who controls the Fund can determine the outcome of any proposal submitted to the shareholders for approval, including changes to the Fund's fundamental policies or the terms of the Management Agreement with the Adviser.  As of January 8, 2013, all outstanding shares of the Fund are owned by Adam M. Hutt who is deemed to control the Fund and the Adviser.  








APPENDIX A


SUMMARY OF PROXY VOTING POLICY OF THE ADVISER


General Policy


AMH Equity, Ltd. may be requested to vote the proxies of traditional operating companies on behalf of its Funds or Client Accounts as investors in such companies. In voting such proxies, AMH Equity is guided by general fiduciary principles. AMH Equity's goal is to act prudently, solely in the best interest of the Client Accounts, Funds and investors in the Funds. AMH Equity votes proxies in the manner that it believes is consistent with efforts to achieve a Fund's or Client Account's stated objectives, including maximizing the value of the Fund's or Client Account's portfolio.


AMH Equity handles the administrative functions associated with the voting or proxies. AMH Equity will generally vote in accordance with the recommendations of management, unless AMH Equity has a reason to disagree with such recommendations.


Conflicts of Interest


AMH Equity follows procedures that are designed to identify conflicts or potential conflicts that could arise between its own interests and those of the Client Accounts or Funds.
