1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% through 7/31/2017, and 0.30% from 8/1/2017 through 7/31/2023 for Class A, B, C, R and Advisor Class shares. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 42% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund is a “fund of funds” that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in other funds of the Trust (the “Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s exposures to the two broad asset classes of debt and equity are expected to be within the following ranges:

     

BROAD ASSET CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Debt

Equity

70-85%

15-30%

Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA”), the investment adviser to the Fund, manages and oversees the Fund through a multi-step process that includes:

(1) Asset Allocation/Portfolio Construction—PLFA manages the Fund using an approximate 10-year investment horizon. An asset class model (the “Model”) for the Fund is developed that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment goal. Within each broad asset class, there are narrower asset class categories (the “asset class categories”) which are used to develop the Model. The allocations for the broad asset classes and narrower asset class categories are taken into consideration in developing the Model. The broad equity asset class includes asset class categories such

4


as domestic small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and large-capitalization, growth and value strategies, and international and emerging market equities. The broad debt asset class includes asset class categories such as investment grade bonds, high yield/high risk bonds, bank loans, international debt and emerging market debt.

PLFA then determines the amount of the Fund’s assets to invest in each Underlying Fund in order to obtain the broad asset class exposures and asset class category exposures designated by the Model for the Fund.

PLFA may adjust the broad asset class allocations to any point within the above ranges, and/or adjust the asset class category allocations, and/or the allocations to the Underlying Funds, at any time as they deem necessary, based on PLFA’s views of market conditions, its outlook for various asset class categories or other factors.

In addition, PLFA may engage in dynamic positioning for the Fund by further adjusting the Model to any point within the above ranges, as deemed necessary, to reflect a shorter term view of the markets or a particular asset class category, to seek to capture upside opportunities or mitigate risk from market events, or for cash management purposes. PLFA would then make the appropriate adjustments to its Underlying Fund allocations to reflect the updated broad asset class and asset class category allocations in the Model. This dynamic positioning would be implemented consistent with the Fund’s risk/return profile and investment goal.

(2) Manager Oversight—PLFA monitors and evaluates the Underlying Fund Managers to seek to ensure that each Manager’s investment style and approach continue to be appropriate for the Underlying Fund it manages.

(3) Investment Risk Management—PLFA monitors and analyzes the investment risks of the Fund, evaluates their impact on the Fund’s risk/return objectives and considers adjustments to the Fund’s allocations as a result.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments include: investment grade debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, and other asset-backed securities; non-U.S. debt securities, including emerging market debt; debt instruments of varying duration; high yield/high risk bonds; floating rate loans; and inflation-indexed bonds.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments include: growth and value stocks; large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies; stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends; sector-specific stocks; and domestic and non-U.S. stocks, including emerging market stocks.

The Fund may invest in “alternative strategies” which typically seek one or more of the following: (1) low to moderate correlation to traditional equity and debt investments; (2) to reduce losses during adverse and volatile market conditions; or (3) to outperform the broad equity or debt markets over a complete market cycle. Alternative strategies used by the Underlying Funds may include, for example, currency strategies, long/short equity strategies, and absolute return strategies. PLFA considers an alternative strategy’s return or other characteristics in determining whether it belongs to the broad debt or equity asset class.

Certain Underlying Funds may also use derivatives such as: forwards; futures contracts and options on securities, indices, currencies and other investments; and swaps (including interest rate, cross-currency, total return and credit default swaps). An Underlying Fund may use derivatives generally as a substitute for direct investment in a security, to attempt to hedge or reduce risk or to seek to enhance investment returns.

The Fund is expected to be as fully invested as practical, although it may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in any single Underlying Fund. PLFA has sole discretion in selecting the Underlying Funds for investment and may adjust the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds, including adding or removing Underlying Funds, as it deems appropriate to meet the Fund’s investment goal.

For additional information about the Fund and its Underlying Fund investments, please see the Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks section in the prospectus.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Because this Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments, this Fund has more exposure to Debt Securities Risk than other Portfolio Optimization Funds. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. In addition, the Fund is subject to the following principal risks:

· Asset Allocation Fund of Funds Risk: As a fund of funds, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in which it invests in direct proportion to its allocations to those Underlying Funds. Although the theory behind asset allocation is that diversification among asset classes in general can help reduce volatility over the long term, you may lose money and/or experience price volatility risk. Because an Underlying Fund’s investments can change due to market movements, the Underlying Fund Manager’s investment decisions or other factors, PLFA estimates each Underlying Fund’s investment exposures to determine the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual allocation to an Underlying Fund may deviate from the intended allocation, which could result in the Fund’s risk/return target not being met. Performance of and assumptions about asset classes and Underlying Funds may also diverge from historical performance and assumptions used to develop the allocations in light of actual market conditions. There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single broad asset class or asset class category rather than investing in a fund of funds.

· Conflicts of Interest Risk: PLFA is subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its investment decisions for the Fund. For example, PLFA may be influenced by its view of the best interests of Underlying Funds, such as a view that an Underlying Fund may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. PLFA seeks to

5


identify and address any potential conflicts in a manner that is fair for Underlying Funds, the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund and Underlying Fund. PLFA has adopted a policy under which investment decisions for the Fund must be made in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and PLFA may take into account the interests of an Underlying Fund and its shareholders when making investment decisions for the Fund.

Principal Risks from Holdings in Underlying Funds

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities are generally subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is more valuable) and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is less valuable). Convertible securities are also generally subject to credit risk, as they tend to be of lower credit quality, and interest rate risk, though they generally are not as sensitive to interest rate changes as conventional debt securities. A convertible security’s value also tends to increase and decrease with the underlying stock and typically has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce an Underlying Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of an Underlying Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase an Underlying Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) - consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. An Underlying Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivative contracts that are privately negotiated are also subject to counterparty risk, meaning that if the counterparty’s financial condition declines, the counterparty may be unable to satisfy its obligations under the contract in a timely manner, if at all, resulting in a potential decline in value of the contract and potential losses to the Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and impact an Underlying Fund significantly.

· Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging market countries (such as many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa), including frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in U.S. and other developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, a higher degree of political and economic instability (which can freeze, restrict or suspend transactions in those investments, including cash), the impact of economic sanctions, less governmental regulation and supervision of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to an Underlying Fund. As a result, an Underlying Fund that invests in floating rate loans may be subject to greater liquidity risk than an Underlying Fund that does not invest in floating rate loans. Investments in floating rate loans are typically in the form of a participation or assignment. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a borrower, and generally are offered by financial institutions or lending syndicates. Investors in a loan participation may participate in such syndications, or buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. Investors in a loan participation assume the credit risk associated with the borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with the financial intermediary that syndicated the loan. Accordingly, if a lead lender becomes insolvent or a loan is foreclosed, an Underlying Fund could experience delays in receiving payments or suffer a loss. In an assignment, an Underlying Fund effectively becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning bank or other financial intermediary. Accordingly, if the loan is foreclosed, an Underlying Fund could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated

6


with owning and disposing of the collateral. Declines in interest rates may increase borrowers’ prepayments of debt obligations and require an Underlying Fund to reinvest these assets at lower yields which could reduce returns. In addition, the floating rate feature of loans means that floating rate loans will not generally experience capital appreciation in a declining interest rate environment. Investments in junior loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower because of their lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and possible unsecured status.

Although the overall size and number of participants in the market for floating rate loans (or bank loans) has grown over the past decade, floating rate loans continue to trade in an unregulated inter-dealer or inter-bank secondary market. Purchases and sales of floating rate loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before a floating rate loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may impede an Underlying Fund’s ability to buy or sell floating rate loans, negatively impact the transaction price, and impede an Underlying Fund’s ability to timely vote or otherwise act with respect to floating rate loans. As a result, it may take longer than seven days for transactions in floating rate loans to settle, which may make it more difficult for an Underlying Fund to raise cash to pay investors when they redeem their shares in an Underlying Fund. The Underlying Fund may be adversely affected by having to sell other investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, hold cash, temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders or take other actions to meet short-term liquidity needs in order to satisfy redemption requests from Fund shareholders.

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· Forwards and Futures Contracts Risk: Forwards and futures contracts are derivative contracts that obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset (e.g., a currency or security) at a specified future date and price. Because forward contracts are privately negotiated, unlike exchange-traded futures contracts, they are subject to greater risk of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, which could result in adverse market impact, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the asset underlying the forward contract. An Underlying Fund may also miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund’s ability to close out of a forward or futures contract position is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary forward or futures market. There is also a risk of imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by an Underlying Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract, as well as losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. Because these contracts allow an Underlying Fund to establish a fixed price (for an asset) or a fixed rate of exchange (for a currency) at a future point in time, they do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of the asset or currency and can have the effect of minimizing opportunities for gain or incurring a loss for the Fund.

· Geographic Focus Risk: If an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single country, limited number of countries, or particular geographic region, then the risk increases that economic, political, social, or other conditions in those countries or that region will have a significant impact on the Underlying Fund’s performance. As a result, the Underlying Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

· Growth Companies Risk: Growth companies have the potential for above-average or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility risk than investments in “undervalued” companies.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk: The principal values of inflation-indexed debt securities tend to increase when inflation rises and decrease when inflation falls.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a

risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have stabler prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, their prices may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.

· Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed an Underlying Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify an Underlying Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in an Underlying Fund having to liquidate holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which an Underlying Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. An Underlying Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be subject to greater price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the market for the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, these securities may decline in value, become difficult to value, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to extension risk, where borrowers or issuers may pay principal later than expected, causing these securities to lengthen in duration and be more volatile in rising interest rate conditions. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk, where borrowers or issuers, respectively, may pay principal sooner than expected, causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

· Options Risk: An option is a derivative contract where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the “exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in options are considered speculative. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund is subject to the risk of losing the premium it paid to purchase the option if the price of the underlying security or other asset decreases or remains the same (for a call option) or increases or remains the same (for a put option). If a call or put option that an Underlying Fund purchases were allowed to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would be a loss to an Underlying Fund. An Underlying Fund’s ability to exercise or sell the options is dependent on the liquidity of the option market.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Underlying Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Short Exposure Risk: Taking a short position using derivative instruments in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying reference asset, such as entering into a derivative contract to sell a currency at a predetermined price in the future (forward foreign currency contract) in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying currency, is subject to the risk that the reference asset will increase in value, resulting in a loss. Such loss is theoretically unlimited. Using derivatives to take short positions is also subject to leverage risk.

· Swap Agreements Risk: Swap agreements are derivative contracts where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, an amount invested in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a certain index, or at a specific interest rate. As a derivative, it is subject to derivatives risk, including counterparty risk. Although certain standard swap agreements are required to be cleared through an exchange, which is expected to decrease counterparty risk and increase liquidity compared to swaps that are privately negotiated, central clearing does not eliminate these risks. Credit default swaps have heightened liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other sign of financial difficulty).

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

8


· Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and perceived as trading for less than their intrinsic values. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to two broad-based market indices that correspond to the Fund’s two broad asset classes. To further assist in performance comparison, the returns of a composite benchmark, the Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Conservative Composite Benchmark, are presented. The composite benchmark is comprised of 71% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond, 17% S&P 500, 7% BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill, and 5% MSCI EAFE (Net) Indices. It reflects broad debt and equity asset class allocations for the Fund in the current Model (the broad equity asset class being represented generally by benchmarks for domestic and international equity) and thus has replaced the former composite, which returns are also shown in the table. The Fund’s current Model was implemented on July 29, 2016, and changed the Fund’s broad asset class allocations. Accordingly, performance figures shown for periods before that date represent performance of the Fund’s previous asset class allocations. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares.

Sales charges applicable to Class A shares are reflected in the Average Annual Total Returns table but not in the bar chart. If these charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information may be obtained at our website: www.mutualfunds.pacificlife.com/mfc/home/performance.html, or by calling customer service at (800) 722-2333 (select Option 2).

1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% through 7/31/2017, and 0.30% from 8/1/2017 through 7/31/2023 for Class A, B, C, R and Advisor Class shares. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund is a “fund of funds” that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in other funds of the Trust (the “Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s exposures to the two broad asset classes of debt and equity are expected to be within the following ranges:

     

BROAD ASSET CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Debt

Equity

50-70%

30-50%

Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA”), the investment adviser to the Fund, manages and oversees the Fund through a multi-step process that includes:

(1) Asset Allocation/Portfolio Construction—PLFA manages the Fund using an approximate 10-year investment horizon. An asset class model (the “Model”) for the Fund is developed that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment goal. Within each broad asset class, there are narrower asset class categories (the “asset class categories”) which are used to develop the Model. The allocations for the broad asset classes and narrower asset class categories are taken into consideration in developing the Model.

11


The broad equity asset class includes asset class categories such as domestic small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and large-capitalization, growth and value strategies, and international and emerging market equities. The broad debt asset class includes asset class categories such as investment grade bonds, high yield/high risk bonds, bank loans, international debt and emerging market debt.

PLFA then determines the amount of the Fund’s assets to invest in each Underlying Fund in order to obtain the broad asset class exposures and asset class category exposures designated by the Model for the Fund.

PLFA may adjust the broad asset class allocations to any point within the above ranges, and/or adjust the asset class category allocations, and/or the allocations to the Underlying Funds, at any time as they deem necessary, based on PLFA’s views of market conditions, its outlook for various asset class categories or other factors.

In addition, PLFA may engage in dynamic positioning for the Fund by further adjusting the Model to any point within the above ranges, as deemed necessary, to reflect a shorter term view of the markets or a particular asset class category, to seek to capture upside opportunities or mitigate risk from market events, or for cash management purposes. PLFA would then make the appropriate adjustments to its Underlying Fund allocations to reflect the updated broad asset class and asset class category allocations in the Model. This dynamic positioning would be implemented consistent with the Fund’s risk/return profile and investment goal.

(2) Manager Oversight—PLFA monitors and evaluates the Underlying Fund Managers to seek to ensure that each Manager’s investment style and approach continue to be appropriate for the Underlying Fund it manages.

(3) Investment Risk Management—PLFA monitors and analyzes the investment risks of the Fund, evaluates their impact on the Fund’s risk/return objectives and considers adjustments to the Fund’s allocations as a result.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments include: investment grade debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, and other asset-backed securities; non-U.S. debt securities, including emerging market debt; debt instruments of varying duration; high yield/high risk bonds; floating rate loans; and inflation-indexed bonds.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments include: growth and value stocks; large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies; stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends; sector-specific stocks; and domestic and non-U.S. stocks, including emerging market stocks.

The Fund may invest in “alternative strategies” which typically seek one or more of the following: (1) low to moderate correlation to traditional equity and debt investments; (2) to reduce losses during adverse and volatile market conditions; or (3) to outperform the broad equity or debt markets over a complete market cycle. Alternative strategies used by the Underlying Funds may include, for example, currency strategies, long/short equity strategies, and absolute return strategies. PLFA considers an alternative strategy’s return or other characteristics in determining whether it belongs to the broad debt or equity asset class.

Certain Underlying Funds may also use derivatives such as: forwards; futures contracts and options on securities, indices, currencies and other investments; and swaps (including interest rate, cross-currency, total return and credit default swaps). An Underlying Fund may use derivatives generally as a substitute for direct investment in a security, to attempt to hedge or reduce risk or to seek to enhance investment returns.

The Fund is expected to be as fully invested as practical, although it may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in any single Underlying Fund. PLFA has sole discretion in selecting the Underlying Funds for investment and may adjust the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds, including adding or removing Underlying Funds, as it deems appropriate to meet the Fund’s investment goal.

For additional information about the Fund and its Underlying Fund investments, please see the Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks section in the prospectus.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Because this Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments, this Fund has more exposure to Debt Securities Risk than other Portfolio Optimization Funds. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. In addition, the Fund is subject to the following principal risks:

· Asset Allocation Fund of Funds Risk: As a fund of funds, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in which it invests in direct proportion to its allocations to those Underlying Funds. Although the theory behind asset allocation is that diversification among asset classes in general can help reduce volatility over the long term, you may lose money and/or experience price volatility risk. Because an Underlying Fund’s investments can change due to market movements, the Underlying Fund Manager’s investment decisions or other factors, PLFA estimates each Underlying Fund’s investment exposures to determine the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual allocation to an Underlying Fund may deviate from the intended allocation, which could result in the Fund’s risk/return target not being met. Performance of and assumptions about asset classes and Underlying Funds may also diverge from historical performance and assumptions used to develop the allocations in light of actual market conditions. There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single broad asset class or asset class category rather than investing in a fund of funds.

· Conflicts of Interest Risk: PLFA is subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its investment decisions for the Fund. For example, PLFA may be influenced by its view of the best interests of Underlying Funds, such as a view that an Underlying Fund may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. PLFA seeks to

12


identify and address any potential conflicts in a manner that is fair for Underlying Funds, the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund and Underlying Fund. PLFA has adopted a policy under which investment decisions for the Fund must be made in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and PLFA may take into account the interests of an Underlying Fund and its shareholders when making investment decisions for the Fund.

Principal Risks from Holdings in Underlying Funds

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities are generally subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is more valuable) and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is less valuable). Convertible securities are also generally subject to credit risk, as they tend to be of lower credit quality, and interest rate risk, though they generally are not as sensitive to interest rate changes as conventional debt securities. A convertible security’s value also tends to increase and decrease with the underlying stock and typically has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce an Underlying Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of an Underlying Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase an Underlying Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) - consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. An Underlying Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivative contracts that are privately negotiated are also subject to counterparty risk, meaning that if the counterparty’s financial condition declines, the counterparty may be unable to satisfy its obligations under the contract in a timely manner, if at all, resulting in a potential decline in value of the contract and potential losses to the Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and impact an Underlying Fund significantly.

· Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging market countries (such as many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa), including frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in U.S. and other developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, a higher degree of political and economic instability (which can freeze, restrict or suspend transactions in those investments, including cash), the impact of economic sanctions, less governmental regulation and supervision of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· Forwards and Futures Contracts Risk: Forwards and futures contracts are derivative contracts that obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset (e.g., a currency or security) at a specified future date and price. Because forward contracts are privately negotiated, unlike exchange-traded futures contracts, they are subject to greater risk of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, which could result in adverse market impact, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the asset underlying the forward contract. An Underlying Fund may also miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund’s ability to close out of a forward or futures contract position is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary forward or futures market. There is also a risk of imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by

13


an Underlying Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract, as well as losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. Because these contracts allow an Underlying Fund to establish a fixed price (for an asset) or a fixed rate of exchange (for a currency) at a future point in time, they do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of the asset or currency and can have the effect of minimizing opportunities for gain or incurring a loss for the Fund.

· Geographic Focus Risk: If an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single country, limited number of countries, or particular geographic region, then the risk increases that economic, political, social, or other conditions in those countries or that region will have a significant impact on the Underlying Fund’s performance. As a result, the Underlying Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

· Growth Companies Risk: Growth companies have the potential for above-average or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility risk than investments in “undervalued” companies.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk: The principal values of inflation-indexed debt securities tend to increase when inflation rises and decrease when inflation falls.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have stabler prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, their prices may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.

· Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed an Underlying Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify an Underlying Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in an Underlying Fund having to liquidate holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which an Underlying Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. An Underlying Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be subject to greater price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the market for the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, these securities may decline in value, become difficult to value, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to extension risk, where issuers may pay principal later than expected, causing these securities to lengthen in duration and be more volatile in rising interest rate conditions, and prepayment and call risk, where borrowers or issuers, respectively, may pay principal sooner than expected,

14


causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

· Options Risk: An option is a derivative contract where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the “exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in options are considered speculative. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund is subject to the risk of losing the premium it paid to purchase the option if the price of the underlying security or other asset decreases or remains the same (for a call option) or increases or remains the same (for a put option). If a call or put option that an Underlying Fund purchases were allowed to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would be a loss to an Underlying Fund. An Underlying Fund’s ability to exercise or sell the options is dependent on the liquidity of the option market.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Underlying Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Short Exposure Risk: Taking a short position using derivative instruments in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying reference asset, such as entering into a derivative contract to sell a currency at a predetermined price in the future (forward foreign currency contract) in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying currency, is subject to the risk that the reference asset will increase in value, resulting in a loss. Such loss is theoretically unlimited. Using derivatives to take short positions is also subject to leverage risk.

·  Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization companies may be more susceptible to liquidity risk and price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Swap Agreements Risk: Swap agreements are derivative contracts where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, an amount invested in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a certain index, or at a specific interest rate. As a derivative, it is subject to derivatives risk, including counterparty risk. Although certain standard swap agreements are required to be cleared through an exchange, which is expected to decrease counterparty risk and increase liquidity compared to swaps that are privately negotiated, central clearing does not eliminate these risks. Credit default swaps have heightened liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other sign of financial difficulty).

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

· Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and perceived as trading for less than their intrinsic values. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to two broad-based market indices that correspond to the Fund’s two broad asset classes. To further assist in performance comparison, the returns of a composite benchmark, the Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate-Conservative Composite Benchmark, are presented. The composite benchmark is comprised of 55% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond, 30% S&P 500, 10% MSCI EAFE (Net), and 5% BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Indices. It reflects broad debt and equity asset class allocations for the Fund in the current Model (the broad equity asset class being represented generally by benchmarks for domestic and international equity). The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares.

Sales charges applicable to Class A shares are reflected in the Average Annual Total Returns table but not in the bar chart. If these charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% through 7/31/2017, and 0.30% from 8/1/2017 through 7/31/2023 for Class A, B, C, R and Advisor Class shares. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund is a “fund of funds” that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in other funds of the Trust (the “Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s exposures to the two broad asset classes of debt and equity are expected to be within the following ranges:

     

BROAD ASSET CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Debt

Equity

30-50%

50-70%

Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA”), the investment adviser to the Fund, manages and oversees the Fund through a multi-step process that includes:

(1) Asset Allocation/Portfolio Construction—PLFA manages the Fund using an approximate 10-year investment horizon. An asset class model (the “Model”) for the Fund is developed that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment goal. Within each broad asset class, there are narrower asset class categories (the “asset class categories”) which are used to develop the Model. The allocations for the broad asset classes and narrower asset class

17


categories are taken into consideration in developing the Model. The broad equity asset class includes asset class categories such as domestic small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and large-capitalization, growth and value strategies, and international and emerging market equities. The broad debt asset class includes asset class categories such as investment grade bonds, high yield/high risk bonds, bank loans, international debt and emerging market debt.

PLFA then determines the amount of the Fund’s assets to invest in each Underlying Fund in order to obtain the broad asset class exposures and asset class category exposures designated by the Model for the Fund.

PLFA may adjust the broad asset class allocations to any point within the above ranges, and/or adjust the asset class category allocations, and/or the allocations to the Underlying Funds, at any time as they deem necessary, based on PLFA’s views of market conditions, its outlook for various asset class categories or other factors.

In addition, PLFA may engage in dynamic positioning for the Fund by further adjusting the Model to any point within the above ranges, as deemed necessary, to reflect a shorter term view of the markets or a particular asset class category, to seek to capture upside opportunities or mitigate risk from market events, or for cash management purposes. PLFA would then make the appropriate adjustments to its Underlying Fund allocations to reflect the updated broad asset class and asset class category allocations in the Model. This dynamic positioning would be implemented consistent with the Fund’s risk/return profile and investment goal.

(2) Manager Oversight—PLFA monitors and evaluates the Underlying Fund Managers to seek to ensure that each Manager’s investment style and approach continue to be appropriate for the Underlying Fund it manages.

(3) Investment Risk Management—PLFA monitors and analyzes the investment risks of the Fund, evaluates their impact on the Fund’s risk/return objectives and considers adjustments to the Fund’s allocations as a result.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments include: investment grade debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, and other asset-backed securities; non-U.S. debt securities, including emerging market debt; debt instruments of varying duration; high yield/high risk bonds; floating rate loans; and inflation-indexed bonds.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments include: growth and value stocks; large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies; stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends; sector-specific stocks; and domestic and non-U.S. stocks, including emerging market stocks.

The Fund may invest in “alternative strategies” which typically seek one or more of the following: (1) low to moderate correlation to traditional equity and debt investments; (2) to reduce losses during adverse and volatile market conditions; or (3) to outperform the broad equity or debt markets over a complete market cycle. Alternative strategies used by the Underlying Funds may include, for example, currency strategies, long/short equity strategies, and absolute return strategies. PLFA considers an alternative strategy’s return or other characteristics in determining whether it belongs to the broad debt or equity asset class.

Certain Underlying Funds may also use derivatives such as: forwards; futures contracts and options on securities, indices, currencies and other investments; and swaps (including interest rate, cross-currency, total return and credit default swaps). An Underlying Fund may use derivatives generally as a substitute for direct investment in a security, to attempt to hedge or reduce risk or to seek to enhance investment returns.

The Fund is expected to be as fully invested as practical, although it may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in any single Underlying Fund. PLFA has sole discretion in selecting the Underlying Funds for investment and may adjust the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds, including adding or removing Underlying Funds, as it deems appropriate to meet the Fund’s investment goal.

For additional information about the Fund and its Underlying Fund investments, please see the Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks section in the prospectus.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Because this Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments, this Fund has more exposure to Equity Securities Risk than other Portfolio Optimization Funds. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. In addition, the Fund is subject to the following principal risks:

· Asset Allocation Fund of Funds Risk: As a fund of funds, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in which it invests in direct proportion to its allocations to those Underlying Funds. Although the theory behind asset allocation is that diversification among asset classes in general can help reduce volatility over the long term, you may lose money and/or experience price volatility risk. Because an Underlying Fund’s investments can change due to market movements, the Underlying Fund Manager’s investment decisions or other factors, PLFA estimates each Underlying Fund’s investment exposures to determine the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual allocation to an Underlying Fund may deviate from the intended allocation, which could result in the Fund’s risk/return target not being met. Performance of and assumptions about asset classes and Underlying Funds may also diverge from historical performance and assumptions used to develop the allocations in light of actual market conditions. There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single broad asset class or asset class category rather than investing in a fund of funds.

· Conflicts of Interest Risk: PLFA is subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its investment decisions for the Fund. For example, PLFA may be influenced

18


by its view of the best interests of Underlying Funds, such as a view that an Underlying Fund may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. PLFA seeks to identify and address any potential conflicts in a manner that is fair for Underlying Funds, the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund and Underlying Fund. PLFA has adopted a policy under which investment decisions for the Fund must be made in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and PLFA may take into account the interests of an Underlying Fund and its shareholders when making investment decisions for the Fund.

Principal Risks from Holdings in Underlying Funds

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities are generally subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is more valuable) and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is less valuable). Convertible securities are also generally subject to credit risk, as they tend to be of lower credit quality, and interest rate risk, though they generally are not as sensitive to interest rate changes as conventional debt securities. A convertible security’s value also tends to increase and decrease with the underlying stock and typically has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce an Underlying Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of an Underlying Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase an Underlying Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) - consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. An Underlying Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivative contracts that are privately negotiated are also subject to counterparty risk, meaning that if the counterparty’s financial condition declines, the counterparty may be unable to satisfy its obligations under the contract in a timely manner, if at all, resulting in a potential decline in value of the contract and potential losses to the Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and impact an Underlying Fund significantly.

· Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging market countries (such as many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa), including frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in U.S. and other developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, a higher degree of political and economic instability (which can freeze, restrict or suspend transactions in those investments, including cash), the impact of economic sanctions, less governmental regulation and supervision of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· Forwards and Futures Contracts Risk: Forwards and futures contracts are derivative contracts that obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset (e.g., a currency or security) at a specified future date and price. Because forward contracts are privately negotiated, unlike exchange-traded futures contracts, they are subject to greater risk of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, which could result in adverse market impact, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the asset underlying the forward contract. An Underlying Fund may also miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund’s ability to close out of a forward or futures contract

19


position is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary forward or futures market. There is also a risk of imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by an Underlying Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract, as well as losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. Because these contracts allow an Underlying Fund to establish a fixed price (for an asset) or a fixed rate of exchange (for a currency) at a future point in time, they do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of the asset or currency and can have the effect of minimizing opportunities for gain or incurring a loss for the Fund.

· Geographic Focus Risk: If an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single country, limited number of countries, or particular geographic region, then the risk increases that economic, political, social, or other conditions in those countries or that region will have a significant impact on the Underlying Fund’s performance. As a result, the Underlying Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

· Growth Companies Risk: Growth companies have the potential for above-average or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility risk than investments in “undervalued” companies.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk: The principal values of inflation-indexed debt securities tend to increase when inflation rises and decrease when inflation falls.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have stabler prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, their prices may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.

· Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed an Underlying Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify an Underlying Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in an Underlying Fund having to liquidate holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which an Underlying Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. An Underlying Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be subject to greater price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the market for the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, these securities may decline in value, become difficult to value, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to extension risk, where borrowers or issuers may pay principal later than expected, causing these securities to lengthen in duration and be more volatile in rising interest

20


rate conditions. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk, where borrowers or issuers, respectively, may pay principal sooner than expected, causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

· Options Risk: An option is a derivative contract where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the “exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in options are considered speculative. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund is subject to the risk of losing the premium it paid to purchase the option if the price of the underlying security or other asset decreases or remains the same (for a call option) or increases or remains the same (for a put option). If a call or put option that an Underlying Fund purchases were allowed to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would be a loss to an Underlying Fund. An Underlying Fund’s ability to exercise or sell the options is dependent on the liquidity of the option market.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Underlying Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Short Exposure Risk: Taking a short position using derivative instruments in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying reference asset, such as entering into a derivative contract to sell a currency at a predetermined price in the future (forward foreign currency contract) in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying currency, is subject to the risk that the reference asset will increase in value, resulting in a loss. Such loss is theoretically unlimited. Using derivatives to take short positions is also subject to leverage risk.

· Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization companies may be more susceptible to liquidity risk and price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Swap Agreements Risk: Swap agreements are derivative contracts where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, an amount invested in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a certain index, or at a specific interest rate. As a derivative, it is subject to derivatives risk, including counterparty risk. Although certain standard swap agreements are required to be cleared through an exchange, which is expected to decrease counterparty risk and increase liquidity compared to swaps that are privately negotiated, central clearing does not eliminate these risks. Credit default swaps have heightened liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other sign of financial difficulty).

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

· Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and perceived as trading for less than their intrinsic values. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to two broad-based market indices that correspond to the Fund’s two broad asset classes. To further assist in performance comparison, the returns of a composite benchmark, the Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Moderate Composite Benchmark, are presented. The composite benchmark is comprised of 45% S&P 500, 38% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond, 15% MSCI EAFE (Net), and 2% BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Indices. It reflects broad debt and equity asset class allocations for the Fund in the current Model (the broad equity asset class being represented generally by benchmarks for domestic and international equity). The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares.

Sales charges applicable to Class A shares are reflected in the Average Annual Total Returns table but not in the bar chart. If these charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% through 7/31/2017, and 0.30% from 8/1/2017 through 7/31/2023 for Class A, B, C, R and Advisor Class shares. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund is a “fund of funds” that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in other funds of the Trust (the “Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s exposures to the two broad asset classes of debt and equity are expected to be within the following ranges:

     

BROAD ASSET CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Debt

Equity

15-30%

70-85%

Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA”), the investment adviser to the Fund, manages and oversees the Fund through a multi-step process that includes:

(1) Asset Allocation/Portfolio Construction—PLFA manages the Fund using an approximate 10-year investment horizon. An asset class model (the “Model”) for the Fund is developed that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment goal. Within each broad asset class, there are narrower asset class categories (the “asset class categories”) which are used to develop the Model. The allocations for the broad asset classes and narrower asset class

23


categories are taken into consideration in developing the Model. The broad equity asset class includes asset class categories such as domestic small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and large-capitalization, growth and value strategies, and international and emerging market equities. The broad debt asset class includes asset class categories such as investment grade bonds, high yield/high risk bonds, bank loans, international debt and emerging market debt.

PLFA then determines the amount of the Fund’s assets to invest in each Underlying Fund in order to obtain the broad asset class exposures and asset class category exposures designated by the Model for the Fund.

PLFA may adjust the broad asset class allocations to any point within the above ranges, and/or adjust the asset class category allocations, and/or the allocations to the Underlying Funds, at any time as they deem necessary, based on PLFA’s views of market conditions, its outlook for various asset class categories or other factors.

In addition, PLFA may engage in dynamic positioning for the Fund by further adjusting the Model to any point within the above ranges, as deemed necessary, to reflect a shorter term view of the markets or a particular asset class category, to seek to capture upside opportunities or mitigate risk from market events, or for cash management purposes. PLFA would then make the appropriate adjustments to its Underlying Fund allocations to reflect the updated broad asset class and asset class category allocations in the Model. This dynamic positioning would be implemented consistent with the Fund’s risk/return profile and investment goal.

(2) Manager Oversight—PLFA monitors and evaluates the Underlying Fund Managers to seek to ensure that each Manager’s investment style and approach continue to be appropriate for the Underlying Fund it manages.

(3) Investment Risk Management—PLFA monitors and analyzes the investment risks of the Fund, evaluates their impact on the Fund’s risk/return objectives and considers adjustments to the Fund’s allocations as a result.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments include: investment grade debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, and other asset-backed securities; non-U.S. debt securities, including emerging market debt; debt instruments of varying duration; high yield/high risk bonds; floating rate loans; and inflation-indexed bonds.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments include: growth and value stocks; large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies; stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends; sector-specific stocks; and domestic and non-U.S. stocks, including emerging market stocks.

The Fund may invest in “alternative strategies” which typically seek one or more of the following: (1) low to moderate correlation to traditional equity and debt investments; (2) to reduce losses during adverse and volatile market conditions; or (3) to outperform the broad equity or debt markets over a complete market cycle. Alternative strategies used by the Underlying Funds may include, for example, currency strategies, long/short equity strategies, and absolute return strategies. PLFA considers an alternative strategy’s return or other characteristics in determining whether it belongs to the broad debt or equity asset class.

Certain Underlying Funds may also use derivatives such as: forwards; futures contracts and options on securities, indices, currencies and other investments; and swaps (including interest rate, cross-currency, total return and credit default swaps). An Underlying Fund may use derivatives generally as a substitute for direct investment in a security, to attempt to hedge or reduce risk or to seek to enhance investment returns.

The Fund is expected to be as fully invested as practical, although it may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in any single Underlying Fund. PLFA has sole discretion in selecting the Underlying Funds for investment and may adjust the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds, including adding or removing Underlying Funds, as it deems appropriate to meet the Fund’s investment goal.

For additional information about the Fund and its Underlying Fund investments, please see the Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks section in the prospectus.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Because this Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments, this Fund has more exposure to Equity Securities Risk than other Portfolio Optimization Funds. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. In addition, the Fund is subject to the following principal risks:

· Asset Allocation Fund of Funds Risk: As a fund of funds, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in which it invests in direct proportion to its allocations to those Underlying Funds. Although the theory behind asset allocation is that diversification among asset classes in general can help reduce volatility over the long term, you may lose money and/or experience price volatility risk. Because an Underlying Fund’s investments can change due to market movements, the Underlying Fund Manager’s investment decisions or other factors, PLFA estimates each Underlying Fund’s investment exposures to determine the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual allocation to an Underlying Fund may deviate from the intended allocation, which could result in the Fund’s risk/return target not being met. Performance of and assumptions about asset classes and Underlying Funds may also diverge from historical performance and assumptions used to develop the allocations in light of actual market conditions. There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single broad asset class or asset class category rather than investing in a fund of funds.

· Conflicts of Interest Risk: PLFA is subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its investment decisions for the Fund. For example, PLFA may be influenced

24


by its view of the best interests of Underlying Funds, such as a view that an Underlying Fund may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. PLFA seeks to identify and address any potential conflicts in a manner that is fair for Underlying Funds, the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund and Underlying Fund. PLFA has adopted a policy under which investment decisions for the Fund must be made in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and PLFA may take into account the interests of an Underlying Fund and its shareholders when making investment decisions for the Fund.

Principal Risks from Holdings in Underlying Funds

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce an Underlying Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of an Underlying Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase an Underlying Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) - consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. An Underlying Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivative contracts that are privately negotiated are also subject to counterparty risk, meaning that if the counterparty’s financial condition declines, the counterparty may be unable to satisfy its obligations under the contract in a timely manner, if at all, resulting in a potential decline in value of the contract and potential losses to the Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and impact an Underlying Fund significantly.

· Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging market countries (such as many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa), including frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in U.S. and other developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, a higher degree of political and economic instability (which can freeze, restrict or suspend transactions in those investments, including cash), the impact of economic sanctions, less governmental regulation and supervision of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· Forwards and Futures Contracts Risk: Forwards and futures contracts are derivative contracts that obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset (e.g., a currency or security) at a specified future date and price. Because forward contracts are privately negotiated, unlike exchange-traded futures contracts, they are subject to greater risk of default or bankruptcy by a counterparty, which could result in adverse market impact, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the asset underlying the forward contract. An Underlying Fund may also miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund’s ability to close out of a forward or futures contract position is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary forward or futures market. There is also a risk of imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held by an Underlying Fund and the price of the forward or futures contract, as well as losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. Because these contracts allow an Underlying Fund to establish a fixed price (for an asset) or a fixed rate of exchange (for a currency) at a future point in time, they do not eliminate fluctuations in the value of the asset or currency and can have the effect of minimizing opportunities for gain or incurring a loss for the Fund.

· Geographic Focus Risk: If an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single country, limited

25


number of countries, or particular geographic region, then the risk increases that economic, political, social, or other conditions in those countries or that region will have a significant impact on the Underlying Fund’s performance. As a result, the Underlying Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

· Growth Companies Risk: Growth companies have the potential for above-average or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility risk than investments in “undervalued” companies.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

·  Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk: The principal values of inflation-indexed debt securities tend to increase when inflation rises and decrease when inflation falls.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have stabler prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, their prices may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.

· Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed an Underlying Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify an Underlying Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in an Underlying Fund having to liquidate holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which an Underlying Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. An Underlying Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be subject to greater price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Options Risk: An option is a derivative contract where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”) or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specified price (the “exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in options are considered speculative. In addition to derivatives risk, an Underlying Fund is subject to the risk of losing the premium it paid to purchase the option if the price of the underlying security or other asset decreases or remains the same (for a call option) or increases or remains the same (for a put option). If a call or put option that an Underlying Fund purchases were allowed to expire without being sold or exercised, its premium would be a loss to an Underlying Fund. An Underlying Fund’s ability to exercise or sell the options is dependent on the liquidity of the option market.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Underlying Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Short Exposure Risk: Taking a short position using derivative instruments in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying reference asset, such as entering into a derivative

26


contract to sell a currency at a predetermined price in the future (forward foreign currency contract) in anticipation of a decline in the market price of the underlying currency, is subject to the risk that the reference asset will increase in value, resulting in a loss. Such loss is theoretically unlimited. Using derivatives to take short positions is also subject to leverage risk.

· Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization companies may be more susceptible to liquidity risk and price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Swap Agreements Risk: Swap agreements are derivative contracts where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, such as the return on, or increase in value of, an amount invested in a particular foreign currency, or in a “basket” of securities representing a certain index, or at a specific interest rate. As a derivative, it is subject to derivatives risk, including counterparty risk. Although certain standard swap agreements are required to be cleared through an exchange, which is expected to decrease counterparty risk and increase liquidity compared to swaps that are privately negotiated, central clearing does not eliminate these risks. Credit default swaps have heightened liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other sign of financial difficulty).

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

· Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and perceived as trading for less than their intrinsic values. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to two broad-based market indices that correspond to the Fund’s two broad asset classes. To further assist in performance comparison, the returns of a composite benchmark, the Pacific Funds Portfolio Optimization Growth Composite Benchmark, are presented. The composite benchmark is comprised of 58% S&P 500, 23% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond, and 19% MSCI EAFE (Net) Indices. It reflects broad debt and equity asset class allocations for the Fund in the current Model (the broad equity asset class being represented generally by benchmarks for domestic and international equity) and thus has replaced the former composite benchmark, which returns are also shown in the table. The Fund's current Model was implemented on July 29, 2016, and changed the Fund's broad asset class allocations. Accordingly, performance figures shown for periods before that date represent performance of the Fund's previous asset class allocations. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class A shares.

Sales charges applicable to Class A shares are reflected in the Average Annual Total Returns table but not in the bar chart. If these charges were reflected in the bar chart, returns would be lower than those shown. Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In some instances, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be greater than the return before taxes because the investor is assumed to be able to use the capital loss of the sale of Fund shares to offset other taxable capital gains.

1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% through 7/31/2017, and 0.30% from 8/1/2017 through 7/31/2023 for Class A, B, C, R and Advisor Class shares. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 35% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund is a “fund of funds” that seeks to achieve its investment goal by investing in other funds of the Trust (the “Underlying Funds”). Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s exposures to the two broad asset classes of debt and equity are expected to be within the following ranges:

     

BROAD ASSET CLASS ALLOCATIONS

Debt

Equity

0-15%

85-100%

Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (“PLFA”), the investment adviser to the Fund, manages and oversees the Fund through a multi-step process that includes:

(1) Asset Allocation/Portfolio Construction—PLFA manages the Fund using an approximate 10-year investment horizon. An asset class model (the “Model”) for the Fund is developed that seeks to meet the Fund’s investment goal. Within each broad asset class, there are narrower asset class categories (the “asset class categories”) which are used to develop the Model. The allocations for the broad asset classes and narrower asset class categories are taken into consideration in developing the Model.

29


The broad equity asset class includes asset class categories such as domestic small-capitalization, mid-capitalization and large-capitalization, growth and value strategies, and international and emerging market equities. The broad debt asset class includes asset class categories such as investment grade bonds, high yield/high risk bonds, bank loans, international debt and emerging market debt.

PLFA then determines the amount of the Fund’s assets to invest in each Underlying Fund in order to obtain the broad asset class exposures and asset class category exposures designated by the Model for the Fund.

PLFA may adjust the broad asset class allocations to any point within the above ranges, and/or adjust the asset class category allocations, and/or the allocations to the Underlying Funds, at any time as they deem necessary, based on PLFA’s views of market conditions, its outlook for various asset class categories or other factors.

In addition, PLFA may engage in dynamic positioning for the Fund by further adjusting the Model to any point within the above ranges, as deemed necessary, to reflect a shorter term view of the markets or a particular asset class category, to seek to capture upside opportunities or mitigate risk from market events, or for cash management purposes. PLFA would then make the appropriate adjustments to its Underlying Fund allocations to reflect the updated broad asset class and asset class category allocations in the Model. This dynamic positioning would be implemented consistent with the Fund’s risk/return profile and investment goal.

(2) Manager Oversight—PLFA monitors and evaluates the Underlying Fund Managers to seek to ensure that each Manager’s investment style and approach continue to be appropriate for the Underlying Fund it manages.

(3) Investment Risk Management—PLFA monitors and analyzes the investment risks of the Fund, evaluates their impact on the Fund’s risk/return objectives and considers adjustments to the Fund’s allocations as a result.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in debt instruments include: investment grade debt securities, including U.S. Government securities, corporate bonds, mortgage-related securities, and other asset-backed securities; non-U.S. debt securities, including emerging market debt; debt instruments of varying duration; high yield/high risk bonds; floating rate loans; and inflation-indexed bonds.

Investments of the Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments include: growth and value stocks; large-, mid- and small-capitalization companies; stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends; sector-specific stocks; and domestic and non-U.S. stocks, including emerging market stocks.

The Fund may invest in “alternative strategies” which typically seek one or more of the following: (1) low to moderate correlation to traditional equity and debt investments; (2) to reduce losses during adverse and volatile market conditions; or (3) to outperform the broad equity or debt markets over a complete market cycle. Alternative strategies used by the Underlying Funds may include, for example, currency strategies, long/short equity strategies, and absolute return strategies. PLFA considers an alternative strategy’s return or other characteristics in determining whether it belongs to the broad debt or equity asset class.

Certain Underlying Funds may also use derivatives such as: forwards; futures contracts and options on securities, indices, currencies and other investments; and swaps (including interest rate, cross-currency, total return and credit default swaps). An Underlying Fund may use derivatives generally as a substitute for direct investment in a security, to attempt to hedge or reduce risk or to seek to enhance investment returns.

The Fund is expected to be as fully invested as practical, although it may maintain liquidity reserves to meet redemption requests.

The Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in any single Underlying Fund. PLFA has sole discretion in selecting the Underlying Funds for investment and may adjust the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds, including adding or removing Underlying Funds, as it deems appropriate to meet the Fund’s investment goal.

For additional information about the Fund and its Underlying Fund investments, please see the Additional Information About Principal Investment Strategies and Principal Risks section in the prospectus.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. Because this Fund has a significant portion of its assets invested in Underlying Funds that invest primarily in equity instruments, this Fund has more exposure to Equity Securities Risk than other Portfolio Optimization Funds. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. In addition, the Fund is subject to the following principal risks:

· Asset Allocation Fund of Funds Risk: As a fund of funds, the Fund is exposed to the same risks as the Underlying Funds in which it invests in direct proportion to its allocations to those Underlying Funds. Although the theory behind asset allocation is that diversification among asset classes in general can help reduce volatility over the long term, you may lose money and/or experience price volatility risk. Because an Underlying Fund’s investments can change due to market movements, the Underlying Fund Manager’s investment decisions or other factors, PLFA estimates each Underlying Fund’s investment exposures to determine the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Fund. As a result, the Fund’s actual allocation to an Underlying Fund may deviate from the intended allocation, which could result in the Fund’s risk/return target not being met. Performance of and assumptions about asset classes and Underlying Funds may also diverge from historical performance and assumptions used to develop the allocations in light of actual market conditions. There is a risk that you could achieve better returns by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single broad asset class or asset class category rather than investing in a fund of funds.

· Conflicts of Interest Risk: PLFA is subject to competing interests that have the potential to influence its investment decisions for the Fund. For example, PLFA may be influenced by its view of the best interests of Underlying Funds, such as a view that an Underlying Fund may benefit from additional assets or could be harmed by redemptions. PLFA seeks to

30


identify and address any potential conflicts in a manner that is fair for Underlying Funds, the Fund and the shareholders of the Fund and Underlying Fund. PLFA has adopted a policy under which investment decisions for the Fund must be made in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, and PLFA may take into account the interests of an Underlying Fund and its shareholders when making investment decisions for the Fund.

Principal Risks from Holdings in Underlying Funds

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of an Underlying Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Derivatives Risk: Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase an Underlying Fund’s volatility. Derivatives may experience large, sudden or unpredictable changes in liquidity and may be difficult to sell or unwind. Derivatives can also create investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested (leverage risk) - consequently, derivatives may experience very large swings in value. An Underlying Fund may lose more money using derivatives than it would have lost if it had invested directly in the underlying security or asset on which the value of a derivative is based. Derivative contracts that are privately negotiated are also subject to counterparty risk, meaning that if the counterparty’s financial condition declines, the counterparty may be unable to satisfy its obligations under the contract in a timely manner, if at all, resulting in a potential decline in value of the contract and potential losses to the Underlying Fund. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so an Underlying Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the currency, security or other risk being hedged. Derivatives may be difficult to value and may expose the Fund to risks of mispricing. In addition, derivatives are subject to extensive government regulation, which may change frequently and impact an Underlying Fund significantly.

· Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in or exposure to investments in emerging market countries (such as many countries in Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa), including frontier markets (emerging market countries in an earlier stage of development), may be riskier than investments in or exposure to investments in U.S. and other developed markets for many reasons, including smaller market capitalizations, greater price volatility, less liquidity, a higher degree of political and economic instability (which can freeze, restrict or suspend transactions in those investments, including cash), the impact of economic sanctions, less governmental regulation and supervision of the financial industry and markets, and less stringent financial reporting and accounting standards and controls.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· Forward Commitments Risk: Forward commitments are derivative contracts that obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset (e.g., a currency or security) at a specified future date and price. Because these instruments are privately negotiated, they are subject to the risk of default by, or bankruptcy of, a counterparty, which could result in adverse market impact, expenses or delays in connection with the purchase or sale of the asset underlying the forward contract. The Underlying Fund may also miss the opportunity of obtaining a price or yield considered to be advantageous. In addition to derivatives risk, the Underlying Fund’s ability to close out of a forward position is dependent on the liquidity of the secondary forward market. There is also a risk of imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the underlying asset and the price of the forward contract, as well as losses caused by unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited.

· Geographic Focus Risk: If an Underlying Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a single country, limited number of countries, or particular geographic region, then the risk increases that economic, political, social, or other conditions in those countries or that region will have a significant impact on the Underlying Fund’s performance. As a result, the Underlying Fund’s performance may be more volatile than the performance of more geographically diversified funds.

· Growth Companies Risk: Growth companies have the potential for above-average or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility risk than investments in “undervalued” companies.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Large-Capitalization Companies Risk: Although large-capitalization companies tend to have stabler prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, their prices may not rise as much as the prices of companies with smaller market capitalizations.

31


· Leverage Risk: Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. The loss on a leveraged investment may far exceed an Underlying Fund’s principal amount invested. Leverage can magnify an Underlying Fund’s gains and losses and therefore increase its volatility. The use of leverage may result in an Underlying Fund having to liquidate holdings when it may not be advantageous to do so.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which an Underlying Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. An Underlying Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact an Underlying Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Mid-capitalization companies may be subject to greater price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent an Underlying Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Underlying Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Small-Capitalization Companies Risk: Small-capitalization companies may be more susceptible to liquidity risk and price volatility risk and be more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes than larger, more established companies.

· Value Companies Risk: Value companies are those that are thought to be undervalued and perceived as trading for less than their intrinsic values. There is a risk that the determination that a stock is undervalued is not correct or is not recognized in the market.

Performance

The after-tax returns (a) are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; (b) are shown for Class A shares only and will vary for other classes; and (c) are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In some instances, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be greater than the return before taxes because the investor is assumed to be able to use the capital loss of the sale of Fund shares to offset other taxable capital gains.

1  The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% for Class I shares through 7/31/2017, and 0.20% for Class A, C, and Advisor Class shares through 7/31/2017. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 41% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund invests principally in income producing debt instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 70% of its assets in investment grade debt instruments, including corporate debt, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, U.S. government securities and agency securities. The Fund may invest up to 30% of its assets in non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments and floating rate senior loans. Debt securities in which the Fund invests may include those issued by non-U.S. entities denominated in U.S. dollars and are generally in developed markets.

The Fund expects to maintain a weighted average duration within one year (plus or minus) of the Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, although the investments held by the Fund may have short, intermediate and long terms to maturity. Duration is often used to measure a bond’s or fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund’s duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate risk. The shorter a fund’s duration, the less sensitive it is to interest rate risk. Maturity of a debt instrument, however, refers to the specific period of time until final payment (principal and any applicable interest) is due.

Individual investments may be purchased or sold in the event the Manager decides to adjust debt asset class weightings within the portfolio. Individual investment selection is generally based on the Manager’s fundamental research process. Sector allocations are

34


determined based on the Manager’s assessment of risk/return opportunities relative to the Fund’s investment goal and benchmark weightings (Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index). The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential issuer and a relative value analysis on each potential investment. When selecting investments (including non-income producing investments), the Manager may invest in instruments that it believes have the potential for capital appreciation.

Decisions to sell are generally based upon the Manager’s belief that the particular investment has achieved its valuation target, there have been changes in the fundamentals of the issuer, or another opportunity of greater relative value exists.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. The Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater liquidity risk than a Fund that does not invest in floating rate loans. Investments in floating rate loans are typically in the form of a participation or assignment. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a borrower, and generally are offered by financial institutions or lending syndicates. Investors in a loan participation may participate in such syndications, or buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. Investors in a loan participation assume the credit risk associated with the borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with the financial intermediary that syndicated the loan. Accordingly, if a lead lender becomes insolvent or a loan is foreclosed, the Fund could experience delays in receiving payments or suffer a loss. In an assignment, the Fund effectively becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning bank or other financial intermediary. Accordingly, if the loan is foreclosed, the Fund could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. Declines in interest rates may increase borrowers’ prepayments of debt obligations and require the Fund to reinvest these assets at lower yields which could reduce returns. In addition, the floating rate feature of loans means that floating rate loans will not generally experience capital appreciation in a declining interest rate environment. Investments in junior loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower because of their lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and possible unsecured status.

Although the overall size and number of participants in the market for floating rate loans (or bank loans) has grown over the past decade, floating rate loans continue to trade in an unregulated inter-dealer or inter-bank secondary market. Purchases and sales of floating rate loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before a floating rate loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may impede the Fund’s ability to buy or sell floating rate loans, negatively impact the transaction price, and impede the Fund’s ability to timely vote or otherwise act with respect to floating rate loans. As a result, it may take longer than seven days for transactions in floating rate loans to settle, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to raise cash to pay investors when they redeem their shares in the Fund. The Fund may be adversely affected by having to sell other investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, hold cash, temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders or take other actions to meet short-term liquidity needs in order to satisfy redemption requests from Fund shareholders.

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

35


· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which the Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the market for the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, these securities may decline in value, become difficult to value, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to extension risk, where borrowers or issuers may pay principal later than expected, causing these securities to lengthen in duration and be more volatile in rising interest rate conditions. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk, where borrowers or issuers, respectively, may pay principal sooner than expected, causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent the Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 74% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund invests principally in income producing debt instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 60% of its assets in investment grade debt instruments, including corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, U.S. government securities and agency securities. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its assets in non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments and floating rate senior loans. Debt instruments in which the Fund invests may include those issued by non-U.S. entities in developed markets denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Fund expects to maintain a weighted average duration within two years (plus or minus) of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Duration is often used to measure a bond’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund’s duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate risk. The shorter a fund’s duration, the less sensitive it is to interest rate risk. The duration of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index was 5.50 years as of March 31, 2016.

Individual investment selection is based on the Manager’s fundamental research process. Sector allocations are determined based on the Manager’s assessment of risk/return opportunities. The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential issuer and a relative value analysis on each potential investment. When selecting investments (including non-income producing

38


investments), the Manager may invest in instruments that it believes have the potential for capital appreciation.

Decisions to sell are generally based upon the Manager’s belief that the particular investment has achieved its appreciation targets, reached its relative value opportunities, and/or that there have been changes in the fundamentals of the issuer.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. The Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to the Fund.

Purchases and sales of floating rate loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before a floating rate loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may impede the Fund’s ability to buy or sell floating rate loans, negatively impact the transaction price, and impede the Fund’s ability to timely vote or otherwise act with respect to floating rate loans.

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates,

general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which the Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk: Mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are subject to certain risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the market for the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset value, difficult or frozen credit markets, swings in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, these securities may decline in value, become difficult to value, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to extension risk, where borrowers or issuers may pay principal later than expected, causing these securities to lengthen in duration and be more volatile in rising interest rate conditions. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk, where borrowers or issuers, respectively, may pay principal sooner than expected, causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent the Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Underlying Fund Risk: Because the Fund may serve as an underlying fund of one or more “fund of funds” of the Trust and thus have a significant percentage of its outstanding shares held by such fund of funds, a change in asset allocation by the fund of funds could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing potential increases in expenses to the Fund and sale of securities in a short timeframe, both of which could negatively impact performance.

· U.S. Government Securities Risk: Not all U.S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U.S. government and different U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk. There is risk that the U.S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U.S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if those entities are not able to meet their financial obligations.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to a broad-based market index. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares.

Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

1  Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund through its ownership of shares in other investment companies. As such, they are not reflected in the total annual operating expenses in the Fund’s financial statements.

2 The investment adviser has agreed to limit certain “Other Expenses” incurred by the Fund that exceed an annual rate of 0.15% for Class I shares through 7/31/2017, and 0.20% for Class A, C, and Advisor Class shares through 7/31/2017. The agreement will terminate: (i) if the investment advisory agreement is terminated, or (ii) upon approval of the Board of Trustees and prior written notice to the investment adviser. The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 94% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund invests principally in income producing debt instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest up to 70% of its assets in non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments and floating rate loans. The Fund may invest up to 65% of its assets in investment grade debt instruments, including corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, U.S. government securities and agency securities. Debt instruments in which the Fund invests may include those issued by non-U.S. entities in developed markets denominated in U.S. dollars.

The Fund’s weighted average duration is expected to be within a range of one to seven years. Duration is often used to measure a bond’s or fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund’s duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate risk. The shorter a fund’s duration, the less sensitive it is to interest rate risk.

The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets, but not to exceed 20% in the aggregate, in each of the following investments: non-U.S. dollar denominated debt instruments, convertible securities or equity securities.

42


Individual investments may be purchased or sold in the event the Manager decides to adjust debt asset class weightings within the portfolio.

Individual investment selection is generally based on the Manager’s fundamental research process. Sector allocations are determined based on the Manager’s assessment of risk/return opportunities relative to the Fund’s investment goal and benchmark weightings (Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index). The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential issuer and a relative value analysis on each potential investment. When selecting investments (including non-income producing investments), the Manager may invest in instruments that it believes have the potential for capital appreciation.

Decisions to sell are generally based upon the Manager’s belief that the particular investment has achieved its valuation target, there have been changes in the fundamentals of the issuer, or another opportunity of greater relative value exists.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. The Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Convertible Securities Risk: Convertible securities are generally subject to the risks of stocks when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is more valuable) and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price (because the conversion feature is less valuable). Convertible securities are also generally subject to credit risk, as they tend to be of lower credit quality, and interest rate risk, though they generally are not as sensitive to interest rate changes as conventional debt securities. A convertible security’s value also tends to increase and decrease with the underlying stock and typically has less potential for gain or loss than the underlying stock.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Currency Risk: Currencies and securities denominated in foreign currencies may be affected by changes in exchange rates between those currencies and the U.S. dollar. Currency exchange rates may be volatile and may fluctuate in response to interest rate changes, the general economic conditions of a country, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments, central banks, or supranational entities such as the International Monetary Fund, the imposition or removal of currency controls, other political or regulatory conditions in the U.S. or abroad, speculation, or other factors. A decline in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar reduces the value in U.S. dollars of the Fund’s investments in that foreign currency and investments denominated in that foreign currency.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.

· Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater liquidity risk than a Fund that does not invest in floating rate loans. Investments in floating rate loans are typically in the form of a participation or assignment. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a borrower, and generally are offered by financial institutions or lending syndicates. Investors in a loan participation may participate in such syndications, or buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. Investors in a loan participation assume the credit risk associated with the borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with the financial intermediary that syndicated the loan. Accordingly, if a lead lender becomes insolvent or a loan is foreclosed, the Fund could experience delays in receiving payments or suffer a loss. In an assignment, the Fund effectively becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning bank or other financial intermediary. Accordingly, if the loan is foreclosed, the Fund could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. Declines in interest rates may increase borrowers’ prepayments of debt obligations and require the Fund to reinvest these assets at lower yields which could reduce returns. In addition, the floating rate feature of loans means that floating rate loans will not generally experience capital appreciation in a declining interest rate environment. Investments in junior loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower because of their lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and possible unsecured status.

Although the overall size and number of participants in the market for floating rate loans (or bank loans) has grown over the past decade, floating rate loans continue to trade in an unregulated inter-dealer or inter-bank secondary market. Purchases and sales of floating rate loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before a floating rate loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may impede the Fund’s ability to buy or sell floating rate loans, negatively impact the transaction price, and impede the Fund’s ability to timely vote or otherwise act with respect to floating rate loans. As a result, it may take longer than seven days for transactions

43


in floating rate loans to settle, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to raise cash to pay investors when they redeem their shares in the Fund. The Fund may be adversely affected by having to sell other investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, hold cash, temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders or take other actions to meet short-term liquidity needs in order to satisfy redemption requests from Fund shareholders.

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates.

The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

The investment adviser may recoup from the Fund amounts reimbursed in future periods, not to exceed three years from the end of the fiscal year in which the reimbursement took place, provided that the recoupment would not cause the Fund to exceed the expense cap that was in effect at the time of the reimbursement.

Examples

The Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other Funds of the Trust or other mutual funds. Each Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the noted share class of the Fund for the time periods indicated, that your investment has a 5% return each year, and that the Fund’s annual operating expenses remain as stated in the previous table for the time periods shown, except for the expense reimbursement (expense limitation), which is only reflected for the contractual periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, the Examples show what your costs would be based on these assumptions.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 99% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund invests principally in income producing floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities. Under normal circumstances, this Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities. Floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities are those with interest rates which float, adjust or vary periodically based upon a benchmark indicator, a specified adjustment schedule or prevailing interest rates. Floating rate loans and floating rate debt securities in which the Fund invests consist of senior secured and unsecured floating rate loans, secured and unsecured second lien floating rate loans, and floating rate debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers. Senior floating rate loans and some floating rate debt securities are debt instruments that may have a right to payment that is senior to most other debts of the borrowers. Second lien loans are generally second in line in terms of repayment priority with respect to the pledged collateral. Borrowers may include corporations, partnerships and other entities that operate in a variety of industries and geographic regions. Generally, secured floating rate loans are secured by specific assets of the borrower.

Floating rate loans will generally be purchased from banks or other financial institutions through assignments or participations. A direct interest in a floating rate loan may be acquired directly from the agent of the lender or another lender by assignment or an indirect interest may be acquired as a participation in another lender’s portion of a floating rate loan.

46


The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in certain other types of debt instruments or securities including non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments.

The Fund is expected to invest substantially all of its assets in floating rate loans and other debt instruments that are rated non-investment grade or, if unrated, are of comparable quality as determined by the Manager. Such non-investment grade debt instruments include those that may be stressed, distressed or in default.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in U.S. dollar denominated foreign investments, principally in developed markets.

Individual investment selection is based on the Manager’s fundamental research process and an assessment of the investment’s relative value. The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential investment. An investment is generally sold when the issue has realized its price appreciation target, the issue no longer offers relative value, or an adverse change in corporate or sector fundamentals has occurred.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Italicized terms refer to other Principal Risks described below. The Fund may be affected by the following principal risks:

· Active Management Risk: The Manager’s judgments about the value or potential appreciation of an investment may prove to be incorrect or fail to have the intended results, which could adversely impact the Fund’s performance and cause it to underperform relative to other funds with similar investment goals or relative to its benchmark, or not to achieve its investment goal.

· Credit Risk: An issuer or guarantor of a debt instrument might be unable or unwilling to meet its financial obligations and might not make interest or principal payments on an instrument when those payments are due (“default”). Defaults may potentially reduce the Fund’s income or ability to recover amounts due and may reduce the value of the debt instrument, sometimes dramatically.

· Debt Securities Risk: Debt securities are subject to many risks, including interest rate risk, market and regulatory risk, credit risk, price volatility risk, and liquidity risk, which may affect their value.

· Floating Rate Loan Risk: Floating rate loans (or bank loans) are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to high yield/high risk or “junk” securities risk. The market for floating rate loans is a private interbank resale market and thus may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and delayed settlement periods, which may result in cash proceeds not being immediately available to the Fund. As a result, the Fund may be subject to greater liquidity risk than a Fund that does not invest in floating rate loans. Investments in floating rate loans are typically in the form of a participation or assignment. Loan participations typically represent direct participation in a loan to a borrower, and generally are offered by financial institutions or lending syndicates. Investors in a loan participation may participate in such syndications, or buy part of a loan, becoming a part lender. Investors in a loan participation assume the credit risk associated with the borrower and may assume the credit risk associated with the financial intermediary that syndicated the loan. Accordingly, if a lead lender becomes insolvent or a loan is foreclosed, the Fund could experience delays in receiving payments or suffer a loss. In an assignment, the Fund effectively becomes a lender under the loan agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning bank or other financial intermediary. Accordingly, if the loan is foreclosed, the Fund could become part owner of any collateral, and would bear the costs and liabilities associated with owning and disposing of the collateral. Declines in interest rates may increase borrowers’ prepayments of debt obligations and require the Fund to reinvest these assets at lower yields which could reduce returns. In addition, the floating rate feature of loans means that floating rate loans will not generally experience capital appreciation in a declining interest rate environment. Investments in junior loans involve a higher degree of overall risk than senior loans of the same borrower because of their lower place in the borrower’s capital structure and possible unsecured status.

Although the overall size and number of participants in the market for floating rate loans (or bank loans) has grown over the past decade, floating rate loans continue to trade in an unregulated inter-dealer or inter-bank secondary market. Purchases and sales of floating rate loans are generally subject to contractual restrictions that must be satisfied before a floating rate loan can be bought or sold. These restrictions may impede the Fund’s ability to buy or sell floating rate loans, negatively impact the transaction price, and impede the Fund’s ability to timely vote or otherwise act with respect to floating rate loans. As a result, it may take longer than seven days for transactions in floating rate loans to settle, which may make it more difficult for the Fund to raise cash to pay investors when they redeem their shares in the Fund. The Fund may be adversely affected by having to sell other investments at an unfavorable time and/or under unfavorable conditions, hold cash, temporarily borrow from banks or other lenders or take other actions to meet short-term liquidity needs in order to satisfy redemption requests from Fund shareholders.

U.S. federal securities laws afford certain protections against fraud and misrepresentation in connection with the offering or sale of a security, as well as against manipulation of trading markets for securities. However, it is unclear whether these protections are available to an investment in a loan, which may not be deemed to be a security in certain circumstances and, as a result, could increase the risk of investing in loans.

· Foreign Markets Risk: Exposure to foreign markets can involve additional risks relating to market, economic, political, regulatory, geopolitical, or other conditions. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and less liquid than U.S. investments. In addition, foreign markets can react differently to these conditions than the U.S. market. Markets and economies throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and conditions or events in one market, country or region may adversely impact investments or issuers in another market, country or region.

47


· High Yield/High Risk or “Junk” Securities Risk: High yield/high risk securities are typically issued by companies that are highly leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed and are considered to be mostly speculative in nature (high risk), subject to greater liquidity risk, and subject to a greater risk of default than higher rated securities. High yield/high risk securities (including loans) may be more volatile than investment grade securities.

· Interest Rate Risk: The value of bonds, fixed rate loans and short-term money market instruments may fall when interest rates rise. Debt instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than debt instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Given the historically low interest rate environment in the U.S., risks associated with rising interest rates are heightened. The negative impact on debt instruments from potential interest rate increases could be swift and significant, including falling market values, increased redemptions and reduced liquidity. Substantial redemptions from bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Additionally, regulations applicable to and changing business practices of broker-dealers that make markets in debt instruments may result in those broker-dealers restricting their market making activities for certain debt instruments, which may reduce the liquidity and increase the volatility of such debt instruments. Floating or adjustable rate instruments (such as most loans) typically have less exposure to interest rate fluctuations and their exposure to interest rate fluctuations will generally be limited to the period of time until the interest rate on the security is reset. There is a risk of lag in the adjustment of interest rates between the periods when these interest rates are reset.

· Issuer Risk: The value of a security or instrument may decline for reasons directly related to the issuer of the security or instrument, such as reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.

· Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to sell securities or other investments within a reasonable amount of time at approximately the price at which the Fund has valued the securities or other investments, which relies on the willingness of market participants to buy and sell securities. Certain holdings may be difficult to value, purchase and sell, particularly during adverse market conditions, because there is a limited market for the investment or there are restrictions on resale. The Fund may not be able to sell a holding quickly at the price it has valued the holding, may be unable to take advantage of market opportunities or may be forced to sell other more desirable, more liquid securities or sell less liquid or illiquid securities at a loss if needed to raise cash to conduct operations.

· Market and Regulatory Risk: Events in the financial markets and economy may cause volatility and uncertainty and adversely impact the Fund’s performance. Market events may affect a single issuer, industry, sector, or the market as a whole. Traditionally liquid investments may experience periods of diminished liquidity. Governmental and regulatory actions, including tax law changes, may also impair portfolio management and have unexpected or adverse consequences on particular markets, strategies, or investments.

· Price Volatility Risk: To the extent the Fund invests in investments whose value may go up or down rapidly or unpredictably, the Fund’s value may also go up or down rapidly or unpredictably. Price volatility can be caused by many factors, including changes in the economy or financial markets or for reasons specific to a particular issuer.

· Underlying Fund Risk: Because the Fund may serve as an underlying fund of one or more “fund of funds” of the Trust and thus have a significant percentage of its outstanding shares held by such fund of funds, a change in asset allocation by the fund of funds could result in large redemptions out of the Fund, causing potential increases in expenses to the Fund and sale of securities in a short timeframe, both of which could negatively impact performance.

Performance

The bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below provide some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and showing how the Fund’s returns compare to a broad-based market index. The bar chart shows the performance of the Fund’s Class I shares.

Performance reflects expense limitations that were in effect during the periods presented.

The after-tax returns (a) are calculated using the highest historical individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes; (b) are shown for Class I shares only and will vary for other classes; and (c) are not relevant to investors who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. In some instances, the return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be greater than the return before taxes because the investor is assumed to be able to use the capital loss of the sale of Fund shares to offset other taxable capital gains.

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 Examples, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the portfolio turnover rate was 48% of the average value of the Fund.

Principal Investment Strategies

This Fund invests principally in income producing debt instruments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests principally in non-investment grade (high yield/high risk, sometimes called “junk bonds”) debt instruments of any credit quality and floating rate loans. The Fund’s non-investment grade debt instruments may include those that are stressed, distressed or in default. The Fund may also invest up to 40% of its assets in investment grade debt instruments, including corporate debt securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-related securities, U.S. government securities and agency securities. The Fund expects to maintain a weighted average duration between zero and three years, although the investments held by the Fund may have short, intermediate and long terms to maturity. Duration is often used to measure a bond’s or fund’s sensitivity to interest rates. The longer a fund’s duration, the more sensitive it is to interest rate risk. The shorter a fund’s duration, the less sensitive it is to interest rate risk. Maturity of a debt instrument, however, refers to the specific period of time until final payment (principal and any applicable interest) is due. Debt instruments in which the Fund invests may include those issued by non-U.S. entities in developed markets denominated in U.S. dollars. The Fund may invest in secured and unsecured debt instruments.

50


Individual investment selection is generally based on the Manager’s fundamental research process. Sector allocations are determined based on the Manager’s assessment of risk/return opportunities relative to the Fund’s investment goal. The Manager performs a credit analysis on each potential issuer and a relative value analysis on each potential investment. When selecting investments (including non-income producing investments), the Manager may consider the investment’s potential for capital appreciation.

Decisions to sell are generally based upon the Manager’s belief that the particular investment has achieved its valuation target, there have been changes in the fundamentals of the issuer, or another opportunity of greater relative value exists.

Principal Risks

As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of your shares, may go up or down and you could lose money. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment goal. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation o
