Logan Capital Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay Large Cap Growth Fund expenses in order to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense Reimbursement (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”), taxes, interest expense, dividends on securities sold short and extraordinary expenses) to 1.24% and 1.49% 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, 2018, 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.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Large Cap 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 (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

Portfolio Turnover
The Large Cap 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 9% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Logan Capital’s Large Cap Growth investment philosophy is based on the belief that earnings growth ultimately drives stock prices.  Our investment process seeks to identify companies that have the ability to generate sustainable and durable long-term earnings growth.  Our goal is to invest in U.S. companies that have outstanding earnings growth due to factors such as superior pricing power, distribution channels, management, etc.  The companies in the portfolio are selected for their innovative thinking which often results in a captive market for their service or product.  We are patient, long-term growth investors, which means we will often hold through earnings setbacks that we believe are short-term in nature as long as the fundamentals indicate that a resumption in earnings growth is probable.

Under normal market conditions, the Large Cap Growth Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in large capitalization equity securities.  The Fund expects to invest principally in equity securities that are traded on U.S. securities exchanges.  For purposes of the Fund’s investments, large capitalization securities are those whose market capitalization at the time of purchase falls within the range of the Russell 1000® Index.  As of the most recent reconstitution as of June 30, 2017, companies in the Russell 1000® Index had market capitalizations ranging from $0.94 billion to $515.6 billion.  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”).  From time to time, the Fund may be invested significantly in securities of companies in the same economic sector.

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 15% 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 10% of its total assets.  The Fund may also sell securities short with respect to 10% of its total assets.  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.

The Large Cap Growth 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.

1)
Macroeconomic analysisTo aid in security selection, the Advisor begins by analyzing macroeconomic factors including, but not limited to, trends in real gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth, short and long-term interest rates, yield curve, inflation, U.S. Federal Reserve Board actions, productivity gains and corporate cash flow.
 
2)
Fundamental analysisInvestment ideas are generated utilizing the Advisor’s proprietary ranking and screening tool which assigns a score, based on a number of factors, to a broad universe of stocks, giving the Advisor an advantage when evaluating new opportunities.  Factors considered include, but are not limited to, market expansion opportunities, market dominance and/or pricing power, significant barriers to entry and a strong balance sheet.
 
3)
Technical Analysis – An evaluation that examines a stock’s pricing behavior and chart patterns to determine an uptrend or downtrend.  Factors considered include, but are not limited to, relative performance as compared to the peer group and the overall market, historically significant price patterns, support and resistance levels and overbought and oversold levels.

The Advisor may sell a position when it no longer qualifies for purchase under at least two of the three independent components.

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

·
Management Risk.  The Large Cap Growth Fund is an actively managed portfolio.  The Advisor’s management practices and investment strategies might not produce the desired results.  The Advisor may be incorrect in its assessment of a stock’s appreciation potential.
 
·
General Market Risk.  Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions.
 
·
Equity Risk.  The equity securities held by the Large Cap Growth Fund may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value that could affect the value of the Fund’s shares and the total return on your investment.
 
·
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.

·
Investment Company Risk.  When the Large Cap Growth 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.
 
·
Depositary Receipt Risk. The Large Cap Growth Fund’s equity investments may take the form of sponsored or unsponsored depositary receipts.  Holders of unsponsored depositary receipts generally bear all the costs of such facilities and the depositary of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts of the deposited securities.
 
·
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk.  Foreign investments are subject to special risks.  Foreign securities may be more volatile and less liquid than domestic (U.S.) securities, which could affect the Fund’s investments.  Securities markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets.   Emerging markets 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 market value of IPO shares may 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.
 
·
Short Sales Risk.  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.
 
·
Sector Emphasis Risk.  The securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant portion of the Large Cap Growth 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 securities of companies in such a sector comprised a lesser portion of the Fund’s portfolio.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If you purchase the Large Cap Growth Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary, the Fund and/or the 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 intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
