[2] Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. (“Frontegra”), the Fund’s investment adviser, has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.80% and 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Institutional Class and Service Class shares, respectively. Frontegra is entitled to recoup the fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within a three-year period from the date of the waiver or expense payment if such reimbursement will not cause the Fund’s expense ratio to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense limitation in place at the time of the waiver and/or expense payment; or (b) the expense limitation in place at the time of the recoupment. The expense cap/reimbursement agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2023, and may be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board of Directors of the Company.
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:
Expense Example - Frontier HyperiUS Global Equity Fund - USD ($)
1 Year
3 Years
Institutional Class Shares 82 330
Service Class Shares 97 377
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. As the Fund had not yet commenced operations as of the date of this Prospectus, there is no portfolio turnover information to provide at this time.

Principal Investment Strategy.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks and American depositary receipts (“ADRs”) of issuers listed on U.S. and international stock exchanges. The Fund is non-diversified. The Fund invests in a portfolio of companies that the Fund’s subadviser, Hyperion Asset Management Limited (doing business as H.A.M.L.) (the “Subadviser”), believes have superior growth prospects and attractive risk-adjusted return profiles. The Fund will normally hold a limited number (generally 15 to 30) of companies in its portfolio. With respect to the Fund’s non-U.S. investments, the Fund invests primarily in companies located in developed countries but may also invest in companies located in emerging markets as part of its principal investment strategy. 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. The Subadviser may reduce this 40% minimum investment amount to 30% if it deems conditions in non-U.S. markets to be unfavorable. The Fund may have significant investments in the information technology, consumer discretionary and communication services sectors.

 

There are no restrictions on the market capitalization of the companies in which the Fund may invest. Under normal market conditions, the minimum market capitalization of companies in which the Fund invests will be over U.S. $1 billion at the time of purchase.

Principal Investment Risks.

Market Risks; Recent Market Events. 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 volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, which resulted in a public health crisis, business interruptions, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, travel restrictions, changed travel and social behaviors, rising inflation and reduced consumer spending. While U.S. and global economies are recovering from the effects of COVID-19, the recovery is proceeding at slower than expected rates and may last for a prolonged period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. During those periods, the Fund may experience high levels of shareholder redemptions and may have to sell securities at times when the Fund would otherwise not do so, potentially at unfavorable prices. Certain securities may be difficult to value during such periods.

 

Common Stocks Risks. Common stocks held by the Fund will fluctuate in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions, leading to fluctuations in the Fund’s share price.

 

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 the imposition of foreign withholding taxes.

 

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

 

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.

 

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 stock may have greater impact on the Fund than for other funds that invest in a greater number of companies.

 

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.

 

Stock Selection Risks. The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.

 

ADR Risks. The risks of ADRs include many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as currency-rate fluctuations and political and economic instability.

 

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

 

Small- and Medium-Capitalization Companies Risk. Small-capitalization and medium-capitalization companies are often more volatile and less liquid than larger companies. Securities of these companies may be subject to greater and more abrupt price fluctuations and may be more susceptible to market pressures and business failures. Stocks of small- and medium-sized companies may underperform the stocks of larger companies as an asset class.

 

Growth Investing Risks. Growth companies are generally more susceptible than established companies to market events and sharp declines in value. Additionally, growth stocks typically lack the dividend yield that can cushion stock prices in market downturns.

 

Sector Emphasis Risks. Sector emphasis risk is the possibility that investments within certain sectors may decline in price due to sector-specific economic developments.

 

Technology Sector Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in companies within the technology sector, there are risks that may affect technology companies. These risks include regulatory risks, the risk of a reduction in competitiveness and loss of market share, uncertainty regarding future revenue, and reputational or operational risks from significant data breaches or cyber-attacks.

 

Consumer Discretionary Sector Risk. Industries in the consumer discretionary sector, such as consumer durables, hotels, restaurants, media, retailing and automobiles, may be significantly impacted by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and spending, and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.

 

Communication Services Sector Risk. The communication services sector is subject to government regulation and can be significantly affected by intense competition and technology changes, which may make the products and services of certain companies obsolete. The wireless telecommunication services industry can be significantly affected by failures to obtain, or delays in obtaining, financing or regulatory approval, intense competition, product incompatibility, changing consumer preferences, rapid obsolescence, significant capital expenditures, and heavy debt burdens. The media and entertainment industry can be significantly affected by technological advances and government regulation.

 

New Fund and Subadviser Risks. As a new fund, there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size. The Subadviser has not previously acted as an investment adviser or subadviser to an investment company registered with the SEC. As the subadviser to a mutual fund, the Subadviser will be subject to additional limitations imposed by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Internal Revenue code of 1986, as amended.

 

Liquidity Risks. Liquidity risk is the risk that certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell the quantity or sell at the time and price that the Subadviser would like to sell. The Subadviser may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity.

 

Shareholder Concentration Risk. A large percentage of the Fund’s shares after commencement of operations are expected to be held by a small number of shareholders, including persons and entities related to Frontegra or the Subadviser as seed investors. A large redemption by one or more of these shareholders could result in the Fund selling securities when it otherwise would not have done so, accelerating the realization of capital gains and increasing transaction costs. A large redemption could also significantly reduce the Fund’s assets and increase the Fund’s ongoing operating expenses, which would negatively impact the remaining shareholders of the Fund.

 

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