Example.

The Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Growth 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 Chase Growth Fund (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class N	135	421	729	1,601
Institutional Class	110	343	595	1,317

Portfolio Turnover.

  The Growth 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 47.09% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of domestic companies with large market capitalizations (a “large-cap company”).  Chase Investment Counsel Corporation (the “Adviser”) generally considers a large-cap company to be one that has a market capitalization of $5 billion and above.  Large-cap company stocks the Adviser purchases for the Fund typically have earnings growth in excess of 10% per year on a historical basis, and have demonstrated consistency of earnings growth over time.  In addition, the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in non-U.S. issuers through the use of depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).

In buying and selling portfolio securities, the Adviser first screens companies for 10% or greater earnings growth over the last 5 years, consistency of earnings, and liquidity. The Adviser then applies a proprietary filter to find stocks with certain fundamental and technical characteristics such as earnings/revenue momentum, return on equity, reinvestment rate, debt level, preliminary valuation analysis, relative strength, relative price performance, price volatility, unusual volume patterns, and insider transactions.  The Adviser then conducts traditional fundamental security analysis to identify the key drivers of growth for each candidate and the most attractive buys for the Fund.  The Adviser continuously reviews prices and adjusts its targets in response to changes in stock characteristics, setting buy/sell target prices for each stock. The existence of alternative securities that the Adviser considers to be more attractive is an added consideration in deciding whether to sell portfolio securities.

The Adviser expects that the Fund’s investment strategy may often result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.

Principal Investment Risks

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

·   Management Risk – The Growth Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends on the Adviser’s ability to correctly identify economic trends and select stocks, particularly in volatile stock markets.

·   Market Risk – The value of stocks and other securities the Growth Fund holds or the overall stock market may decline over short or extended periods.

·   Non-U.S. Security Risk– The Growth Fund may invest in non-U.S. issuers through depositary receipts such as ADRs. Non-U.S. investments may involve financial, economic or political risks not ordinarily associated with the securities of U.S. issuers.

·   Portfolio Turnover Risk – A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject you to a higher tax liability.

·   Defensive Position Risk– If the Growth Fund takes a temporary defensive position in response to adverse conditions, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.  For example, should the market advance during this period, the Fund may not participate as much as it would have if it had been more fully invested.

The Growth Fund is intended for investors who:

·   Have a long-term investment horizon;

·   Want to diversify their investment portfolio by investing in a mutual fund that invests in large-cap companies; and/or

·   Are willing to accept higher short-term risk in exchange for a higher potential for long-term total return.
