Page 9 – “Performance”

Performance.  The performance information demonstrates the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual total returns for the one year, five year, ten year and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance and the returns of a Russell peer group (a group of mutual funds with characteristics similar to those of the Fund).  Remember, the Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.  Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.snowfunds.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at 877-SNOWFND (877-766-9363).
