Example.
This Example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then hold or redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The operating expense limitation agreement discussed in the table above is reflected only through December 29, 2024.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
One YearThree YearsFive YearsTen Years
Advisor Class$87$338$608$1,381
Institutional Class$61$259$474$1,091
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 transaction costs and potentially higher taxes, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 195.1% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities that are rated investment grade or better (i.e., securities rated in the top four ratings categories by independent rating organizations such as Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”), or determined to be of comparable quality by the Adviser or sub-adviser if the security is unrated). In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets, measured at the time of purchase, in high-yield debt securities that are rated BB+ or lower by a NRSRO, or, if unrated, securities deemed by the Adviser or a sub-adviser to be of comparable quality). Such securities are considered to be below “investment grade” and are also known as “junk bonds.” The lowest rating for any high-yield debt security in which the Fund may invest is CCC+ by a NRSRO. In the event a security is split rated by two or more NRSROs, the higher rating will be used to determine credit quality. The Fund may invest in fixed income securities with a range of maturities, from short-term obligations carrying maturities of less than one year to long-term obligations carrying maturities of more than 20 years. It is expected that the weighted average maturity of the securities in the Fund will closely approximate the weighted average maturity of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund intends to invest in the following types of fixed income securities:
•    U.S. Government and U.S. Agency Obligations
•    U.S. Treasury obligations and other “stripped securities”
•    mortgage-backed securities
•    asset-backed securities
•    U.S. and foreign corporate debt
•    municipal securities
•    obligations of international agencies or supranational entities
•    zero-coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred-payment securities
•    when-issued securities
•    delayed-delivery securities
•    custodial receipts
•    high-yield debt securities
•    emerging markets debt
•    convertible securities
The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in fixed income securities issued by foreign corporations and foreign governments, including corporations and governments in emerging markets that are denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar. The foreign fixed income securities in which the Fund invests may have maturities of any length, and may be investment grade, non-investment grade or unrated. In addition to direct investments in fixed income securities, at any time the Fund may seek to achieve its investment objective by allocating up to 100% of its assets among shares of different exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest in fixed income securities that are rated investment grade or better by Moody’s, S&P or another NRSRO.
The Manager of Managers Approach. The Adviser is responsible for developing, constructing and monitoring the asset allocation and portfolio strategy for the Fund and may actively manage a portion of the Fund’s portfolio. The Adviser believes that an investment’s reward and risk characteristics can be enhanced by employing multiple sub-advisory firms, with complementary styles and approaches, who manage distinct segments of a market, asset class or investment style for the Fund. In managing the Fund, the Fund’s sub-advisers generally rely on detailed proprietary research. The sub-advisers focus on the sectors and securities they believe are undervalued relative to the market. The Fund’s sub-advisers will trade the Fund’s portfolio
securities actively, and may experience a high portfolio turnover rate. In selecting individual securities for investment, the Fund’s sub-advisers typically:
use in-depth fundamental research to identify sectors and securities for investment by the Fund and to analyze risk;
exploit inefficiencies in the valuation of risk and reward;
look to capitalize on rapidly shifting market risks and dynamics caused by economic and technical factors; and
consider the liquidity of securities and the portfolio overall as an important factor in portfolio construction.

The Fund’s sub-advisers generally sell securities in order to take advantage of investments in other securities offering what the sub-adviser believes is the potential for more attractive current income or capital gain or both.
Principal Risks.
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. Remember, the Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Advisor Class Shares(1) Calendar Year Returns as of December 31
15962
The returns shown in the bar chart are for Advisor Class shares of the Fund. Institutional Class shares would have substantially similar annual returns because the shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would differ only to the extent that Institutional Class shares have lower expenses and, as a result, annual returns would be higher.
The Fund’s calendar year-to-date return as of September 30, 2023 was -0.76%. During the period shown in the bar chart, the best performance for a quarter was 6.18% (for the quarter ended June 30, 2020) and the worst performance was -6.02% (for the quarter ended March 31, 2022).

Institutional Class shares of the Fund commenced operations on July 1, 2019. Advisor Class shares of the Fund commenced operations on September 28, 2007.
Performance shown for Institutional Class shares prior to July 1, 2019 reflects the performance of the Advisor Class shares, adjusted to reflect the lower fees and expenses applicable to Institutional Class shares.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred or other tax-advantaged arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRA”). After tax returns are shown only for Advisor Class shares and after tax returns for Institutional Class shares will vary.
In certain cases, the figure representing “Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax benefit to the investor.

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 transaction costs and potentially higher taxes, which are not reflected in the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2023, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 100.6% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies.
Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of U.S. companies and non-U.S. companies with varying market capitalizations.
To achieve its investment objective, the Fund will generally invest in common stocks and preferred stocks, convertible securities (specifically, convertible preferred stocks) and other equity securities of U.S. and non-U.S. companies, including when-issued securities. The Fund may invest up to 50% of its net assets in foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in the equity securities of companies located in countries considered to have emerging market economies. In addition to
direct investments in equity securities, at any time the Fund may seek to achieve its investment objective by investing in shares of different exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that primarily invest in equity securities.
The Adviser uses a proprietary quantitative risk factor model for developing, constructing and monitoring the asset allocation and portfolio strategy for the Fund according to parameters and constraints set by the Fund’s portfolio managers. The Fund invests in issuers that the Adviser believes offer potential for capital growth. In identifying candidates for investment, the Adviser may consider the issuer’s likelihood of above average earnings growth, the securities’ attractive relative valuation, the quality of the securities and whether the issuer has any proprietary advantages. The Fund generally sells securities when the Adviser believes they are fully priced or when significantly more attractive investment candidates become available. The Fund may invest in companies of any market capitalization and may invest in securities of domestic or foreign issuers. The Fund is designed to maintain a “core” or “blend” approach, and the Adviser manages the Fund’s portfolio of securities in such a way as to mitigate significant growth or value style biases.
Principal Risks.

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.

On May 25, 2018, the Adviser assumed all responsibilities for selecting investments in the Fund’s portfolio in connection with a change to the Fund’s investment strategies. The Fund’s performance prior to this date reflects the Fund’s returns achieved when the Adviser actively managed a portion of the Fund’s portfolio and used a “manager of managers” investment strategy by engaging sub-advisers to manage other portions of the Fund’s portfolio.
