Supplement dated May 3, 2017
to the
PMC Diversified Equity Fund (the “Fund”)
Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”)
dated December 29, 2016



This supplement makes the following amendments to disclosures in the SAI for the Fund dated December 29, 2016.

Effective May 1, 2017, the sub-advisory agreement between Thomas White International, Ltd. (“Thomas White”) and the Fund’s investment adviser, Envestnet Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), has been terminated. Accordingly, all references to Thomas White in the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus are hereby removed.  In addition, all references to Thomas S. White, Jr., Wei Li, Ph.D., Jinwen Zhang, Ph.D., Douglas M. Jackman, and John Wu, Ph.D. as portfolio managers of the Fund in the Prospectus and Summary Prospectus are hereby removed.

Also effective May 1, 2017, Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (“Epoch”) has been added as a sub-adviser to the Fund.  At an in-person meeting of the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) on April 20, 2017, the Board approved a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and Epoch in accordance with an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission effective as of September 26, 2007.

The following disclosures in the SAI are hereby revised to read as follows:

Page 33 – “Management of the Funds – Sub-Advisers”

Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. (“Boston Partners”), Delaware Investments Fund Advisers (“DIFA”), Mellon Capital Management Corporation (“Mellon”), Neuberger Berman Investment Advisers LLC (“NBIA”), Schroder Investment Management North America Inc. (“Schroder”) and Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (“Epoch”) are the sub-advisers to the Funds (each, a “Sub-Adviser,” and collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”).  It is the Adviser’s responsibility to select sub-advisers for the Funds that have distinguished themselves in their areas of expertise in asset management and to review each Sub-Adviser’s performance.

The Adviser provides investment management evaluation services by performing initial due diligence on each Sub-Adviser and thereafter monitoring the Sub-Advisers’ performance for compliance with each Fund’s investment objective and strategies, as well as adherence to its investment style.  The Adviser also conducts performance evaluations through in-person, telephonic and written consultations.  In evaluating the Sub-Advisers, the Adviser considers, among other factors: their level of expertise; relative performance and consistency of performance over a minimum period of time; level of adherence to investment discipline or philosophy; personnel, facilities and financial strength; and quality of service and client communications.

The Adviser has the responsibility for communicating performance expectations and evaluations to the Sub-Advisers and ultimately recommending to the Board of Trustees whether their sub-advisory agreements should be renewed, modified or terminated.  The Adviser provides written reports to the Board of Trustees regarding the results of its evaluation and monitoring functions.  The Trust applied for, and the SEC has granted, an exemptive order with respect to the Funds that permits the Adviser, subject to certain conditions, to hire new sub-advisers or to continue the employment of existing Sub-Advisers after events that would otherwise cause an automatic termination of a sub-advisory agreement.  This arrangement has been approved by the Board of Trustees and each Fund’s initial shareholder.  Within 90 days of retaining a new sub-adviser, shareholders of any affected Fund will receive notification of the change.
 

The Adviser pays the Sub-Advisers on a monthly basis, an annual fee of the net assets of each Fund allocated to that Sub-Adviser by the Adviser which the Adviser will pay out of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.  In determining the compensation structure for sub-advisers, the Adviser employs the following general criteria: (i) the type of asset class managed by the sub-adviser; (ii) the current market rate; (iii) the sub-adviser’s standard compensation rate for similar programs; and (iv) the anticipated asset flow for each of the Funds.  The Funds are not responsible for the payment of the sub-advisory fees.  The Adviser is also responsible for conducting all operations of the Funds, except those operations contracted to the Sub-Advisers, the Custodian, the Administrator or the Funds’ transfer agent.  Although the Sub-Advisers’ activities are subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees and the officers of the Trust, the Board of Trustees, the officers and the Adviser do not evaluate the investment merits of the Sub-Advisers’ individual security selections.  The Sub-Advisers have complete discretion to purchase, manage and sell portfolio securities for the portions of each of the Funds’ portfolios that they manage, subject to the Funds’ investment objectives, policies and limitations.  Each Fund’s portfolio is managed by several portfolio managers (each, a “Portfolio Manager”) as discussed in the Funds’ prospectus.

The table below lists the Sub-Advisers and the particular Fund(s) they manage.  Information regarding each Sub-Adviser and the biographies of their Portfolio Manager(s) are set forth in the prospectus.

Page 37 – “Management of the Funds – Portfolio Managers – Material Conflicts of Interest”

Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
Epoch’s sole line of business is investment management.  Epoch does not believe it has any significant conflicts of interest in the management of client’s portfolios other than those conflicts of interest that are customary in asset management.  For example, as an asset manager to multiple accounts, Epoch faces potential conflicts of interest related to the allocation of securities, the sequencing of transactions, fee arrangements, the use of brokerage activity to acquire research or brokerage services, and proxy voting.  Epoch faces potential conflicts of interest related to the personal trading activities of its employees as well as the corporate investment activities of Epoch itself.

Epoch has developed specific policies and procedures to disclose and mitigate these potential conflicts of interest.  For example, Epoch’s Code of Ethics contains, among other things, policies and procedures that address the potential conflicts of interest that exist when Epoch employees purchase or sell for their personal accounts.  Epoch recognizes that performance-based fee arrangements may create potential conflicts of interest.  Additionally, Epoch has created the Conflicts Resolution Group which meets on an ad hoc basis to discuss potential conflicts of interest and determine the appropriate course of action.

A performance-based fee structure may create an inherent pressure to allocate investments having a greater potential for higher returns to accounts of those clients paying the higher performance fee.  To prevent conflicts of interest associated with managing accounts with different compensation structures, Epoch requires portfolio decisions to be made on a strategy specific basis and without consideration of the Firm’s pecuniary or business interests.  Epoch also requires pre-allocation of client orders based on specific fee-neutral criteria.  Additionally, Epoch requires average pricing of all aggregated orders.  Finally, Epoch has adopted a policy prohibiting all employees, including portfolio managers, from placing the investment interests of any client above the investment interests of any other client with the same or similar investment objectives.

Page 40 – “Management of the Funds – Portfolio Managers – Portfolio Managers’ Compensation”

Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
Epoch seeks to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract, retain and motivate all employees.  Epoch employees receive a base salary and an annual performance bonus, which is reviewed and determined annually by Epoch’s Operating Committee with input from the employee’s supervisor and Epoch’s Human Resources Department.  The level of compensation for each employee is based on a number of factors including individual performance, firm performance and marketplace compensation analysis and information.

5

For senior employees, a portion of their annual performance bonus is deferred, typically with a three-year vesting schedule, and invested in Epoch-managed investment vehicles, Epoch Performance Units and TD Restricted Stock Units.  In addition, Managing Directors are eligible to participate in Epoch’s Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is designed to reward superior long-term business performance over a multi-year period.

Investment team members are compensated based on the performance of their strategy, their contribution to that performance, the overall performance of the firm, and corporate citizenship.  The Operating Committee reviews product performance, including risk-adjusted returns over one- and three-year periods in assessing an investment professional’s performance and compensation.  Each portfolio manager and analyst’s security selection and weighting recommendations are also reviewed on an annual basis.
