The Fund invests primarily in companies determined by the Adviser to be highly profitable, yet undervalued. The Adviser looks for those companies it believes to have above average profitabilit y, as measured by corporate return on equity ("ROE"), that sell at below average prices as measured by price to earnings ratios ("P/E"). Company size, based on market capitalization, is of little importance to the Adviser.The Fund does not subscribe to the philosophy that stocks can be acquired and held forever; however, the Adviser purchases stocks for the Fund that it generally holds for three or more years. While short-term swings in the marketplace are not ignored, they are subordinate to the quest for long-term values.The Fund will sell a stock when the Adviser believes the company's intrinsic value has been fully realized by the market, earnings disappoint, growth prospects dim due to changing market or economic conditions, the company falls short of the Adviser's expectations, or the Adviser finds a better investment.The Fund may purchase fixed-income or debt securities from time to time as substitutes for stocks when the Adviser determines that market conditions warrant their purchase.Under adverse market conditions the Fund may take temporary defensive measures such as holding cash reserves without limit. In taking such measures, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.The Fund intends to invest for the long-term, but may sell stocks and other securities regardless of how long they have been held. Over the Fund's lifetime, the average portfolio tu rnover has been less than 30% per year.PRINCIPAL RISKSHistorically common stocks have outperformed other types of investments; however, stock prices will fluctuate in the short-term. Like any investment, an investment in the Fund is subject to risk. The value of your investment can go up or down. This means that you could lose money.Management RiskThe Fund's success depends largely on the Adviser's ability to select favorable investments. Different types of investments shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions. Because of this, the Fund will perform better or worse than other types of funds depending on what is in "favor." In addition, there is the risk that the strategies, research or analysis techniques used by the Adviser and/or the Adviser's security selection may fail to produce the intended result.Small and Medium Companies RisksInvesting in securities of small and medium-sized companies may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies because they can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more establ ished companies. Small companies may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and their management may be dependent on a limited number of key individuals. Securities of those companies may have limited market liquidity and their prices may be more volatile.Credit RisksThere is a possibility that companies or other issuers whose bonds are owned by the Fund may fail to pay their debts (including the debt owed to holders of their bonds). Bonds of companies with poor credit ratings generally will be subject to higher risk.Stock Market RisksStocks are selected by the Adviser based upon what the Adviser believes to be their potential for long-term growth; however, there can be no assurance that the objective will be met. The Fund is subject to risks that affect common stocks in general, such as economic conditions and adverse changes (generally increases) in interest rates. Investments in value stocks are subject to the risk that the market may never realize their value, or their prices may go down. Short-term volatility often accompanies a long-term approach to investing. These and other factors could adversely affect your investment.Bond Market RisksThe Fund's investment in bonds may be subject to risks that affect the bond ma rkets in general, such as general economic conditions and adverse changes (generally increases) in interest rates.Foreign Investment RisksThe Fund may invest in foreign securities. These investments involve certain risks not generally associated with investments in the securities of United States issuers. There may be more limited information publicly available concerning foreign issuers than would be with respect to domestic issuers. Different accounting standards may be used by foreign issuers, and foreign trading markets may not be as liquid as U.S. markets. Foreign securities also involve such risks as currency fluctuation risk, possible imposition of withholding or confiscatory taxes, possible currency transfer restrictions, expropriation or ot her adverse political or economic developments and the difficulty of enforcing obligations in other countries. These risks may be greater in emerging markets and in less developed countries.For your informationAn investment in this Fund is not a bank deposit. It is not FDIC insured or government endorsed. It should be considered a "long-term" investment, an investment for a period of three or more years.PAST PERFORMANCEThe bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risk of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows the Fund's performance in each calendar year over a ten-year period.The table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns for one, five, ten and fifteen calendar years, and since the Fund's inception compared with those of a broad-based securities market index.All presentations below assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions. Keep in mind that the Fund's past performance, before and after taxes, does not indicate how it will perform in the future.Year-to-Year Total Return(as of 12/31 each year)19970.332819980.032219990.11420000.25320010.09332002-0.199220030.480720040.245120050.078820060.0408highest return for a quarter0.27512003-06-30lowest return for a quarter-0.21532002-09-30AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNSAs of 12/31/2006One YearPast 5 YearsPast 10 YearsSince Inception1988-11-01Muhlenkamp FundReturn Before Taxes0.04080.10640.13290.1401Return After Taxes on Distributions*0.03950.10580.13070.1366Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares*0.02830.09290.11890.1281S&P 500 Index**0.1580.06190.0842 0.1182*After tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.

The figures above reflect all dividends reinvested but do not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.FUN D EXPENSESAs an investor, you pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Fund, which are described in the table below and example that follows. In the table you will see the fees and expenses you would incur if you bought and held shares of the Fund. Shareholder transaction fees are paid from your account. Annual Fund operating expenses are paid out of the Fund assets, so their effect is included in the Fund's share price.SHAREHOLDER FEES12(expenses that are deducted from your account)Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Purchases0.0000Sales Charge (Load) Imposed on Reinvested Dividends0.0000Deferred Sales Charge (Load)0.0000Redemption Fees (shares hold longer than 30 days from purchase date)0Redemption Fees (shares redeemed within 30 days of purchase date)-2.00ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES(expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)Management Fees0.00933Distribution (12b-1) Fees0.0000Other Expenses0.0013Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses0.01061Investors may be charged an annual account maintenance fee if their account falls below the established minimums. Invest ors may be charged a fee by their broker if they effect transactions through a broker or agent. There are certain annual charges and other fees associated with retirement accounts offered by the Fund.2The transfer agent charges a fee of $15.00 for outgoing wire transfers.3The Adviser charges a management fee equal to 1% per annum of the average daily market value of the Fund's net assets up to $1?billion and 0.9% per annum on Fund assets in excess of $1?billion. The management fee reflected above is for the Fund's prior fiscal year.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.This 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, that you reinvest all dividends and distributions, and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.
