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 that you 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 18% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks of domestic (U.S.) companies. The Fund may also invest in securities of foreign companies that are publicly traded in the U.S., including in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). Under normal conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in common stocks of companies that the Advisor believes have the potential for long-term growth of capital. The Advisor uses the growth style of investing. Growth stocks are equity securities of companies that have or are expected to have above-average earnings growth.

The Fund buys and sells stocks based on the Advisor’s research, and focuses on characteristics that the Advisor believes allow a company to grow at an above-average rate for an extended period of time, including: dominant position within its industry; sustainable competitive advantage; shareholder oriented management philosophy; strong brand or franchise value; operating within a definable growing market; and strong research and development.

The Fund will consider selling stocks in its portfolio when the stock reaches its target, fundamentals supporting the stock’s value deteriorate, and/or better investment alternatives exist.
The Fund may also invest in cash, cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments for temporary defensive purposes.
Principal Risks
The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objective. There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. The following risks are considered principal and could adversely affect the value of your investment in the Fund.
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. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, which has resulted in a public health crisis, disruptions to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains and may last for an extended period of time. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.
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.
Growth-Style Investing 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 – The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends on the ability of the Advisor to correctly identify economic trends and select stocks.
Depositary Receipt Risk The risks of depository receipts include many risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities, such as individual country risk and liquidity risk. Unsponsored ADRs, which are issued by a depositary bank without the participation or consent of the issuer, involve additional risks because U.S. reporting requirements do not apply, and the issuing bank will recover shareholder distribution costs from movement of share prices and payment of dividends.
Non-U.S. Investment Risk – 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.
Who May Want to Invest in the Fund?

The Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
Are pursuing a long-term goal such as retirement;
Want to add an investment with growth potential to diversify their investment portfolio; or
•Are willing to accept higher short-term risk along with a higher potential for long-term growth.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to those who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). The Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares is higher than other return figures when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.
