Example.

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the shares of 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 on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.  For the fiscal period from the Fund’s inception on March 23, 2015 until June 30, 2015, the Fund had a portfolio turnover rate of 7% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a non-diversified portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies.  For purposes of the 80% policy, net assets include any borrowings for investment purposes.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate its assets among issuers located in at least three different countries and will invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies.  Magellan Asset Management Limited doing business as MFG Asset Management (“MFG Asset Management”), the Fund’s subadviser, may reduce this 40% minimum investment amount to 30% if it deems market conditions to be unfavorable.  MFG Asset Management seeks to identify high-quality companies at attractive prices while integrating an in depth macroeconomic understanding in order to manage risk.  The Fund will normally hold a concentrated number (generally 20 to 40) of companies, typically with a market capitalization in excess of U.S. $25 billion at the time of purchase.

Principal Investment Risks.

Market Risks.  The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.  If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of the Fund will go down, and you may lose money.  U.S. and international markets have experienced extreme volatility, reduced liquidity, credit downgrades, increased likelihood of default and valuation difficulties in recent years.


Equity Securities Risks.  Common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund will fluctuate in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions.  A fund that invests a significant amount of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities is likely to have greater fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities.


Non-Diversification Risks.  The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies than funds that are diversified.  Gains or losses on a single company may have greater impact on the Fund than for other funds that invest in a greater number of companies.


Stock Selection Risks.  Stock prices vary and may fall, thus reducing the value of the Fund’s investments.  The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.


Large Capitalization Risks.  Large-cap companies perform differently from, and at times and for extended periods of time worse than, stocks of mid- and small-cap companies.  Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges.


Foreign Securities Risks.  Investments in securities of foreign companies involve additional risks, including less liquidity, currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards and securities market regulation, and imposition of foreign withholding taxes.


Currency Risks.  The value of the Fund’s foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Fund may also incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.


Management Risks.  The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio and depends on the decisions of the portfolio manager to produce the desired results.


Cybersecurity Risks.  Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices utilized by the Fund potentially can be breached.  The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.
