Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the Ratio of Expenses to Average Net Assets Before Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursement in the Financial Highlights section of the statutory prospectus, which reflects the actual operating expenses of the Tactical DG Fund and does not include expenses attributed to acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) and other restated fees and expenses.
(3)
WBI Investments, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Tactical DG Fund expenses to ensure that Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, taxes, interest expense, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.75% of average daily net assets for No Load Class shares and 1.50% of average daily net assets for Institutional Class shares (the “Expense Caps”).  The Expense Caps will remain in effect through at least March 28, 2017, 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 paid, subject to the Expense Caps.

Example.  This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Tactical DG 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 Tactical DG 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 384.28% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
The Tactical DG Fund will seek to invest in dividend-paying equity securities of foreign and domestic companies.  The Fund may invest in non-dividend paying equities, domestic and foreign fixed income securities, exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”), and/or in option strategies to enhance the Fund’s returns or to mitigate risk and volatility.  Option strategies used by the Fund for individual securities include writing (selling) covered calls, buying puts, using combinations of calls and puts, and using combinations of calls and combinations of puts.  The Fund may also use options on indices.  The Fund may also invest in cash or cash equivalents as part of the normal operation of its investment process, including for extended periods.

The types of equity securities in which the Tactical DG Fund will generally invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights, warrants, convertibles and master limited partnerships (businesses organized as partnerships which trade on public exchanges).  The types of fixed income securities in which the Fund will generally invest directly or indirectly (through registered investment companies) include corporate debt securities, U.S. Government securities, debt securities of foreign issuers, sovereign fixed income securities, U.S. government agency securities, high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), ETNs, mortgage-backed securities and variable and floating rate securities.  The Fund expects to invest in fixed income securities of all maturities, from less than one year up to thirty years, depending on the portfolio manager’s assessment of the risks and opportunities along the yield curve.  (The yield curve refers to differences in yield among fixed income assets of varying maturities.)

The Tactical DG Fund may invest without limitation in securities of foreign issuers, and up to 50% of its net assets in the securities of issuers located in emerging markets.  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in high-yield bonds (also known as “junk bonds”).  The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and money market funds.  The Fund may invest in companies of any size market capitalization.

The Tactical DG Fund may also invest in cash, cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments for temporary defensive purposes.

The risk-managed investment approach used for the Tactical DG Fund by the Advisor attempts to provide consistent, attractive returns net of expenses with potentially less volatility and risk to capital than traditional approaches, whatever market conditions may be.  The Fund uses quantitative computer screening of fundamental stock information to evaluate domestic and foreign equity securities in an attempt to find the best value and dividend opportunities worldwide.  Once securities are identified, an overlay of technical analysis confirms timeliness of security purchases.  The Fund then adds qualifying securities using available cash.  This systematic process of identifying, evaluating, and purchasing securities constitutes the Advisor’s buy discipline for the Fund.

Once securities are purchased, the Advisor maintains a strict sell discipline that attempts to control the effects of the volatility of each invested position on the Tactical DG Fund’s value.  If a security’s price stays within a range of acceptable prices, the security will remain in the Fund.  If a security’s price falls below the bottom of an acceptable price range, the security will be sold. This results in a responsive process that actively adjusts the Fund’s allocation by causing it to become more fully invested or by raising cash to protect capital.  During periods of high market volatility a significant amount of Fund holdings may be sold, resulting in a large allocation to cash in the Fund.

The Advisor expects that the Tactical DG Fund’s investment strategy 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 investment is a risk of investing in the Tactical DG Fund.  The following additional risks could affect the value of your investment:

·
Market Risk – The prices of the securities in which the Tactical DG Fund invests may decline for a number of reasons. The stock market as a whole, or the value of an individual company, may go down resulting in a decrease in the value of the Fund.
·
Management Risk – Your investment in the Tactical DG Fund varies with the success and failure of the Advisor’s investment strategies and the Advisor’s research, analysis, and determination of portfolio securities.  If the Advisor’s investment strategies, including its stop loss and goal setting process, do not produce the expected results, the value of the Fund would decrease.
·
Equity Market Risk – Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change.  If you held common stock, or common stock equivalents, of any given issuer, you would generally be exposed to greater risk than if you held preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer.
·
Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk – Foreign investments may carry risks associated with investing outside the United States, such as currency fluctuation, economic or financial instability, lack of timely or reliable financial information or unfavorable political or legal developments. 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 Tactical DG Fund’s investments.  Investments in emerging markets may have more risk because the markets are less developed and less liquid as well as being subject to increased economic, political, regulatory or other uncertainties.
·
Investment Style Risk – The prices of stocks and bonds in the Fund’s portfolio may fall or rise over extended periods of time for a variety of reasons, including both general financial market conditions and factors related to a specific issuer or industry.  The Tactical DG Fund’s investments in dividend-paying common stocks may cause the Fund to underperform funds that do not limit their investments to dividend-paying common stocks during periods when dividend-paying stocks underperform other types of stocks.  In addition, if stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be affected.  To the extent that the Fund invests in dividend-paying stocks that experience negative developments in their financial condition, the Fund may underperform funds that invest in other types of securities.  For longer periods of time, the Fund may hold a substantial cash position.  If the equity market advances during periods when the Fund is holding a large cash position, the Fund may not participate to the extent it would have if the Fund had been more fully invested in equities.
·
Model Risk  The Tactical DG Fund’s investment process includes the use of proprietary models and analysis methods developed by the Advisor, and data provided by third parties.  Third party data and information used in models and analysis is obtained from sources believed to be reliable, however inaccurate data could adversely affect the effectiveness of the resulting investment implementation on the Fund’s performance.  There can be no assurance that any particular model or investment strategy, including those devised by the Advisor, will be profitable for the Fund, and may result in a loss of principal.
·
Small and Medium Companies Risk – Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies because small and medium capitalization companies can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price changes than larger, more established companies.
·
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk – When the Tactical DG Fund invests in an ETF or mutual fund, including money market funds for its cash position, 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.
·
Master Limited Partnership Risk – Investing in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) entails risk including fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in supply of or demand for energy commodities and various other risks.
 
3

 
·
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.
·
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.
·
Debt Securities Risk – The market value of debt securities held by the Fund typically changes as interest rates change, as demand for the instrument changes, and as actual or perceived creditworthiness of an issuer changes.  During periods of rising interest rates, the market value of debt securities held by the Fund will generally decline.  Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high-yielding bonds before their maturity rates.  Debt securities subject to prepayment risk can offer less potential for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment.  Limited trading opportunities for certain debt securities may make it more difficult to sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time.  Because interest rates in the United States are at historical lows, the Funds may have an increased risk associated with debt securities and rising interest rates.  Also, the risk of rising interest rates may result in less liquidity in debt markets overall, making it more difficult for the Fund to sell the instruments at or near the market value used to compute the Fund’s NAV.
·
High-Yield Securities Risk – The debt income securities 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.
·
Exchange-Traded Note Risk – The value of an ETN may be influenced by time to maturity, level of supply and demand for the ETN, volatility and lack of liquidity in underlying securities’ markets, changes in the applicable interest rates, changes in the issuer’s credit rating, and economic, legal, political, or geographic events that affect the referenced index.  In addition, the notes issued by ETNs and held by a fund are unsecured debt of the issuer.
·
Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk – In addition to the general risks associated with fixed income securities as described, the structure of certain mortgage-backed securities may make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, which may cause their prices to be very volatile.  In particular, the recent events related to the U.S. housing market has had a severe negative impact on the value of some mortgage-backed securities and resulted in an increased risk associated with investments in these securities.
