(a) Non-Income Producing.
 
       
(b) Illiquid security, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Directors.  The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market.  Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven calendar days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund.  Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Board as reflecting fair value.  As of March 31, 2017, illiquid securities held in the Fund represented 11.2% of total net assets.
       
(c) Participation (Equity Linked) Notes ("P-Notes") allow an indirect investment in foreign securities without registration in those markets.  In addition to normal risks associated with direct investments, P-Notes are also subject to counterparty risk.  The performance results of P-Notes will not exactly replicate the performance of the underlying securities due to transaction costs and other expenses.  P-Notes are restricted securities that have been purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), pursuant to the resale limitations provided by Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.  Whether a restricted security is illiquid is determined pursuant to guidelines established by the Fund's Board of Directors.  None of the Fund's restricted securities are considered to be illiquid.  As of March 31, 2017, Rule 144A and Regulation S securities held in the Fund represented 16.2% of total net assets.

Investment Valuation - Equity securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last reported sale price on the national securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded. Equity securities for which there were no transactions on a given day or securities not listed on a national securities exchange are valued at the most recent bid price. Equity securities that are traded on NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Participation (Equity Linked) Notes (“P-Notes”) are valued based on an evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service, using a methodology for P-Notes provided by a third-party analytics firm. Debt securities are valued at the bid price provided by an independent pricing service, which uses valuation methods such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer bid quotations. Shares of underlying mutual funds are valued at their respective Net Asset Value (“NAV”). Exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities that are primarily traded on foreign exchanges generally are valued at the last sale price of such securities on their respective exchange. In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of events after the close of the foreign markets, but prior to the time the Fund’s NAV is calculated, will result in a systematic fair value adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities. The Fund will value foreign securities at fair value using fair valuation procedures approved by the Board of Directors (the "Board"), taking into account such events in calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time the NAV is calculated. The Board has retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities held by the Frontier MFG Global Equity, Frontier MFG Global Plus, Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure and Frontier Silk Invest New Horizons Funds. In valuing assets, prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the advisers or subadvisers pursuant to guidelines established by the Board.
 
The Funds follow a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Funds' own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). These inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund's investments and are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:
 
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 — Evaluated prices based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, foreign security indices, foreign exchange rates, fair value estimates for foreign securities and changes in benchmark securities indices)
Level 3 — Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)
 
The following is a summary of inputs used to value the Funds' securities as of March 31, 2017:

Tax Disclosure – Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

The Funds have adopted financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations.  During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.  The Funds have reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there is no effect to any of the Funds’ financial positions or results of operations and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  The Funds have no examinations in progress.  The Company is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the remainder of the fiscal year.
 
As of June 30, 2016, the Frontier Timpani Small Cap Growth Fund had a short-term capital loss carryforward that will not expire of $3,970,619.

For additional information regarding the accounting policies of the Funds, refer to the most recent financial statements in the N-CSR filing at www.sec.gov.
