Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the “Adviser” has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”), interest expense, taxes, dividends on securities sold short and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.75% of average daily net assets of the Investor Class shares and 1.40% of average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares (the “Expense Caps”). The Expense Caps will remain in effect through at least June 27, 2015, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses from the Fund for three years from the date they were paid, subject to the Expense Caps.

Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Emerging Markets Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Emerging Markets 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 Emerging Markets 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:

	1 Year	3 Years
Investor Class	$178	$1,302
Institutional Class	$143	$1,202

Portfolio Turnover. The Emerging Markets 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 Emerging Markets Fund is new, it does not have any portfolio turnover as of the date of this Prospectus.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Emerging Markets Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in stocks of companies located in emerging market countries. Emerging market companies are generally located in, or operating within, newly industrialized countries or countries in the beginning stages of development, such as most countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This includes companies located in, or primarily operating from, countries in the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) Emerging Markets Index and MSCI Frontier Emerging Markets Index. In managing the Fund’s assets, the Adviser will follow a classic value strategy and will look to invest in companies whose market capitalization is primarily among the 1,500 largest emerging markets companies as determined by the Adviser from publicly available data sources at the time of purchase. The Fund’s portfolio will generally consist of 40 to 80 stocks identified through a research-driven, bottom-up security selection process based on thorough fundamental research. The Emerging Markets Fund seeks to invest in stocks that, in the opinion of the Adviser, sell at a substantial discount to their intrinsic value but have solid long-term prospects. The Emerging Markets Fund may also invest in participation notes (“P-Notes”) as a primary investment strategy.

In evaluating an investment for purchase by the Emerging Markets Fund, the Adviser focuses on the company’s underlying financial condition and business prospects considering estimated earnings, economic conditions, degree of competitive or pricing pressures, and the experience and competence of management, among other factors. The Adviser’s sell discipline is guided by the same process with which the Adviser originally screens the investment universe. The Adviser sells a security when it reaches fair value, there are more attractive opportunities or there is a change in company fundamentals.

Principal Risks

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

·	Market Risk. The value of the Emerging Market Fund’s shares will fluctuate as a result of the movement of the overall stock market or of the value of the individual securities held by the Fund, and you could lose money.

Management Risk. The Emerging Markets Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio and because the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s goal. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its decisions will produce the desired results.

Equity Risk. The risks that could affect the value of the Emerging Markets 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. Equity securities generally have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.

Foreign Securities Risk. Foreign securities 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.

Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging markets are markets of countries in the initial stages of industrialization and that generally have low per capita income. In addition to the risks of foreign securities in general, emerging markets are generally more volatile, have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries and securities markets that are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile with less government oversight than more developed countries.

Currency Risk. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates will affect the value of what the Emerging Markets Fund owns and the Fund’s share price. Generally, when the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, an investment in that country loses value because that currency is worth fewer U.S. dollars. Devaluation of a currency by a country’s government or banking authority also will have a significant impact on the value of any investments denominated in that currency. Currency markets generally are not as regulated as securities markets and the risk is especially high in emerging markets.

Sector Emphasis Risk. Sector emphasis risk is the risk that the securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of the Emerging Market Fund’s portfolio, could react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic, regulatory or financial developments and adversely affect the value of the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion of the Fund’s portfolio.

·	Liquidity Risk. Low or lack of trading volume may make it difficult to sell securities held by the Emerging Markets Fund at quoted market prices.

Value Style Investing Risk. The Adviser follows an investing style that favors value investments. The value investing style may over time go in and out of favor. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Emerging Markets Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles.

P-Note Risk. P-Notes are a type of equity-linked derivative which generally are traded over-the-counter. Even though a P-Note is intended to reflect the performance of the underlying equity security, the performance of a P-Note will not replicate exactly the performance of the issuers or markets that the P-Note seeks to replicate due to transaction costs and other expenses. In addition, P-Notes are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues the P-Notes will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with the Fund.

·	New Fund Risk. The Emerging Markets Fund is new with no 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.
