0.04%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses(2)

Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses

(1)
The Advisor’s management fee is 0.75% on the first $20 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.60% on average daily net assets over $20 million.
(2)
The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund do not correlate to the “Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets:  Before Expense Reimbursement/Recoupment” provided in the “Financial Highlights” section of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.
(3)
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest, taxes and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 1.15% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  The expense limitation will remain in effect indefinitely and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Advisor may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were waived or paid, subject to the expense limitation.
 
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, that dividends and distributions are reinvested, and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the contractual expense limitation for 1 year).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$121
$386
$672
$1,485

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.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 100% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund seeks to invest primarily in the stocks of domestic and foreign companies of any size, from larger, well-established companies to smaller companies.  Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in stocks. The Fund will not borrow for investment purposes.  The Advisor pursues the Fund’s objective by investing primarily in the stocks of companies that exhibit the potential for significant long-term appreciation.  The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in the securities of foreign issuers that are publicly traded in the United States or on foreign exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts.  The Fund may also invest in fixed-income obligations (i.e., U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, corporate debt securities and convertible bonds).  These securities will predominantly be rated at least “investment grade” by one of the nationally recognized statistical ratings organizations or, if unrated, determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality.  The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its net assets in fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (“junk bonds” or “high-yield securities”).  Additionally, the Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”).  The Advisor generally makes use of fundamental analytical techniques to determine which particular stocks to purchase and sell, and will consider the sale of securities from the Fund’s portfolio when the reasons for the original purchase no longer apply.

The Fund may also invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”).  The Fund will typically invest up to 5% of its net assets in REITs, but can invest a higher percentage in REITs if REIT valuations and fundamental prospects are compelling.  The Fund will not invest more than 20% of its net assets in REITs.

In addition, the Fund may use index options and individual stock options for various portfolio strategies.  At any one time, the combined value of options may be up to 5% of the Fund’s net assets.

Principal Investment Risks
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund.  The following additional risks could affect the value of your investment:

Management Risk – If the Advisor’s investment strategies do not produce the expected results, the value of the Fund would decrease.
Market Risk – Either the stock market as a whole, or the value of an individual company, goes down resulting in a decrease in the value of the Fund.
Small and Medium-Sized Companies Risk – Investing in securities of small and medium-sized companies involves greater risk than investing in larger, more established companies because they can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.
Foreign Securities Risk – Foreign securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities.  Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets.  Many foreign securities may also be less liquid than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund’s investments.
Fixed-Income Securities Risk – Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the value of the fixed-income securities held by the Fund.  Fixed-income securities with longer maturities generally entail greater risk than those with shorter maturities.
High-Yield Securities Risk - The fixed-income securities held by the Fund that are rated below investment grade (i.e. “junk bonds”) are subject to additional risk factors such as increased possibility of default liquidation of the security, and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer.
REIT Investment Risk – REITs may be affected by changes in the value of their underlying properties or mortgages or by defaults by their borrowers or tenants.  Furthermore, these entities depend upon specialized management skills, have limited diversification and are, therefore, subject to risks inherent in financing a limited number of projects.  In addition, the performance of a REIT may be affected by changes in the tax laws or by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass-through of income.
Exchange-Traded Funds Risk - Unlike mutual funds, ETFs do not necessarily trade at the net asset values of their underlying securities, which means an ETF could potentially trade above or below the value of the underlying portfolios.  Additionally, because ETFs trade like stocks on exchanges, they are subject to trading and commission costs unlike open-end investment companies.

Options Risk – Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities.

The Fund may be appropriate for investors who:

are pursuing a long-term investment horizon;
want to add an investment with growth potential to diversify their investment portfolio;
can accept the greater risks of investing in a portfolio with significant common stock holdings;
are not seeking regular income; or
are not pursuing short-term goals.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.  In addition, the “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” is higher than other return figures when a capital loss occurs upon the redemption of Fund shares.

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 or financial advisor), the Fund and/or its Advisor 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 financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
