Aasgard Small & Mid-Cap Fund

The Fund seeks a combination of dividend income and capital appreciation,
with a secondary focus on lower than market volatility.

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 Cap 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 year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 70.47% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in dividend-paying common stocks of small- and medium-sized companies. The Fund invests primarily in the common stocks of domestic small- and medium-sized companies with market capitalizations under $15 billion that the Advisor believes have strong growth potential and attractive dividend and yield opportunities. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).

The Advisor employs a proprietary ranking system to evaluate the universe of U.S. small- and medium-sized capitalization companies that are traded on U.S. exchanges. Companies are ranked within their sectors according to their relative dividend yield, dividend growth, dividend consistency, valuation, free-cash flow, and payout ratio. Each stock considered for purchase must have (i) a current yield of at least 1.00% and (ii) issuer’s five year projected dividend growth rate of at least 5%. Holdings are reviewed for sale if they have fallen more than 10% since their purchase and may be replaced with stocks the Advisor believes have a higher potential for gain. This often has the additional benefit of realizing taxable losses that can be used to offset future realized gains. The Fund’s strategy strives to reduce volatility by limiting individual positions sizes to 5% of the Fund’s total assets and by limiting single industry exposure to less than 20% of the Fund’s total assets.
Target prices are developed for each security, but the Advisor does not have a strict sell discipline. The Advisor believes that in times of extreme market volatility, a strict sell discipline would require wholesale liquidations resulting in extremely large cash positions. Under most circumstances, the Advisor will not hold cash positions in excess of 15% of the Fund’s net assets in order to maintain participation in growth opportunities in the overall market but will consider cash positions in excess of this threshold under certain market or economic conditions.
Principal Investment Risks
By itself, the Fund is not a complete, balanced investment plan. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objectives. Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks are considered principal and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:
Small- and Medium-Sized Companies Risk – Small- and medium-sized companies often have less predictable earnings, more limited product lines, markets, distribution channels or financial resources and the management of such companies may be dependent upon one or few key people. The market movements of equity securities of small- and medium-sized companies may be more abrupt and volatile than the market movements of equity securities of larger, more established companies or the stock market in general and small-sized companies in particular, are generally less liquid than the equity securities of larger companies.
Market and Regulatory Risk – Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely affect performance. Such adverse effect on performance could include a decline in the value and liquidity of securities held by the Fund, unusually high and unanticipated levels of redemptions, an increase in portfolio turnover, a decrease in NAV, and an increase in Fund expenses. In addition, because of interdependencies between markets, events in one market may adversely impact markets or issuers in which the Fund invests in unforeseen ways. Traditionally, liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. During a general downturn in the financial markets, multiple asset classes may decline in value and the Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests. It is impossible to predict whether or for how long such market events will continue, particularly if they are unprecedented, unforeseen or widespread events or conditions. Therefore, it is important to understand that the value of your investment may fall, sometimes sharply and for extended periods, and you could lose money.
Equity Securities Risk The value of the Fund’s shares will go up or down based on the movement of the overall stock market and the value of the individual securities held by the Fund, both of which can sometimes be volatile.
Investment Style Risk – The 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.
Growth Stock Risk – Over time, a growth oriented investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles.
Management Risk – If the Advisor’s investment strategies do not produce the expected results, the value of the Fund may decrease.
Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) Risk – Investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Risks commonly associated with the direct ownership of real estate include fluctuations in the value of underlying properties, defaults by borrowers or tenants, changes in interest rates and risks related to general or local economic conditions. REITs have their own expenses, and the Fund will bear a proportionate share of those expenses. In addition, the value of an individual REIT’s securities can decline if the REIT fails to continue qualifying for special tax treatment.
