[1] Logan Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE"), interest, taxes, interest and dividend expense on securities sold short and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses to 2.25% and 2.50% of average daily net assets of the Fund's Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares, respectively (the "Expense Caps"). The Expense Caps will remain in effect through at least August 27, 2014, 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 Caps.
[2] Investor Class Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the Ratio of Operating Expenses to Average Net Assets After Reimbursements in the Financial Highlights section of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include expenses attributed to AFFE.
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 and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Caps only in the first year)
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.  During the most recent fiscal period (from September 28, 2012 through April 30, 2013), the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 108% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The Fund employs a “long/short” investment strategy to attempt to achieve capital appreciation and manage risk by purchasing stocks believed by the Advisor to be undervalued and selling short stocks believed by the Advisor to be overvalued.  The Fund generally maintains a net long bias; however, the Fund will have at least some short exposure at all times.  The net long exposure of the Fund (gross long exposures minus gross short exposures) is usually expected to be between 50% and 100%.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), rights and warrants, and may include securities of companies that are offered pursuant to an initial public offering (“IPO”).  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers in emerging markets.  Additionally, the Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), and may purchase and sell options on equities and stock indices with respect to 25% of its total assets.

The Fund’s long strategy divides investments between two disciplined equity styles – Growth (with a target of approximately 50% to 60% of the Fund’s total assets allocated to growth long positions) and Value (with a target of approximately 50% to 40% of the Fund’s total assets allocated to value long positions).  With respect to the Growth style, the Fund’s investment process is “bottom up” and focused on superior security selection.  The investment team utilizes a three-component process that includes top-down macroeconomic analysis, fundamental research and technical analysis.  For a stock to be eligible for portfolio inclusion, it must pass all three independent components of this process.

With respect to the Value style, the Advisor seeks to identify financially stable, high dividend yielding companies.  The buy discipline seeks to screen from a universe of all stocks traded on U.S. exchanges. Factors used to screen these companies include, but are not limited to, market capitalization, cash flow, financial leverage, modest valuations and price volatility.  The remaining companies are then further refined to include those companies with the highest dividend yield.  The Advisor may sell a position when it no longer qualifies for purchase under its respective buy discipline.

The Advisor has hired Waterloo International Advisors, LLC (“Waterloo” or “Sub-Advisor”) as a sub-advisor to manage the short portion of the Fund.  The Fund’s short positions will generally range between 1% and 50% of the value of the net assets of the Fund.  The Fund’s short investment approach will involve a disciplined, methodical search for overvalued companies.  Such companies may be evidenced by high inventories or accounts receivable, decelerating sales growth, heavy insider selling or deteriorating technical factors.  To identify such companies, Waterloo carefully scrutinizes the quality of earnings, the proxy statement (background of directors and management, director or accountant resignations, litigation and related transactions), the balance sheet and footnotes (accounts receivable, inventories, other current assets, reserve levels, changes in amortization or depreciation schedules, off-balance sheet liabilities), and the income and cash-flow statements (margin trends, one-time gains or losses, tax rates).

Additionally, Waterloo will consider the time horizon likely to be required for positions to become profitable.  Accordingly, Waterloo will seek to identify so-called “catalysts”, i.e., particular anticipated events or circumstances that are likely to accelerate the time frame in which the key flaw in the issuer will be reflected in its stock price.  By emphasizing catalysts, Waterloo will seek to avoid potential short situations that would require extensive holding periods and their attendant increased costs and risks.

Waterloo will seek to reduce, cover or close positions if the analytical basis for the original investment decision has become questionable or if there are other developments that create a lack of continuing analytic confidence in the position.  The Advisor expects that the Fund’s active or frequent trading of portfolio securities will result in a portfolio turnover rate in excess of 100% on an annual basis.
Principal Investment Risks
Losing all or a portion of your money on your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund.  The following additional risks could affect the value of your investment:

·
Management Risk.  The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed portfolio.  The Advisor’s or Sub-Advisor’s management practices and investment strategies might not produce the desired results.  The Advisor or Sub-Advisor may be incorrect in their assessment of a stock’s appreciation or depreciation potential.
 

·
Leverage Risk.  Leverage is investment exposure which exceeds the initial amount invested.  Leverage can cause the portfolio to lose more than the principal amount invested.  Leverage can magnify the portfolio’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility.
 

·
Market Risk. The prices of the securities in which the Fund invests may decline for a number of reasons.  These reasons may include changing economic circumstances and/or perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers.
 

·
Equity Risk.  The risks that could affect the value of the Fund’s shares and the total return on your investment include the possibility that the equity securities held by the Fund will experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value.
 

·
Short Sales Risk.  A short sale is the sale by the Fund of a security which it does not own in anticipation of purchasing the same security in the future at a lower price to close the short position.  A short sale will be successful if the price of the shorted security decreases. However, if the underlying security goes up in price during the period in which the short position is outstanding, the Fund will realize a loss. The risk on a short sale is unlimited because the Fund must buy the shorted security at the higher price to complete the transaction. Therefore, short sales may be subject to greater risks than investments in long positions.
 

·
Growth Style Investment Risk.  Growth stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks.  While growth stocks may react differently to issuer, political, market and economic developments than the market as a whole and other types of stocks by rising or falling in price in certain environments, growth stocks also tend to be sensitive to changes in the earnings of their underlying companies and more volatile than other types of stocks, particularly over the short term.
 

·
Value Style Investment Risk.  Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and from other types of stocks.  Value stocks may be purchased based upon the belief that a given security may be out of favor; that belief may be misplaced or the security may stay out of favor for an extended period of time.
 

·
Investment Company Risk.  When the Fund invests in an ETF or mutual fund, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees.  The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities the ETF or mutual fund holds.  The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs.
 

·
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk.  The Fund may invest in foreign securities, including in emerging markets.  These foreign investments are subject to special risks.  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 be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities, which could affect the Fund’s investments.  In addition, the Fund may invest in emerging markets which are more volatile than the markets of developed countries.

·
Options Risk.  Options on securities may be subject to greater fluctuations in value than an investment in the underlying securities.  Purchasing and writing put and call options are highly specialized activities and entail greater than ordinary investment risks.
 

·
Initial Public Offering Risk.  The Fund may purchase securities of companies that are offered pursuant to an IPO.  The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer.  The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs.  IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk.  When the Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund.
 

·
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.
 

·
Newer Fund Risk. The Fund is newer with limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund.
