Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Institutional Advisors LargeCap 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 (the Example for one year reflects the contractual expense limitation described above; the amounts for the other years reflect the Fund’s gross expenses).  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s

operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$123 $401 $700 $1,549

 

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 may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 25.27% of the average portfolio value.

 

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of large-capitalization companies (generally, companies in the $5 billion and more capitalization range of the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (“S&P 500 Index”)). The Fund will not change this policy unless it notifies shareholders at least 60 days in advance. Equity securities include convertible securities and domestic common stocks, among other things.

 

The Adviser’s style can best be described as a long-term, disciplined investment approach aimed at providing clients with strong returns, but which is absent of leverage, aggressive or untested techniques, and market timing. The Adviser focuses on providing superior investment performance along with reduced volatility, offering disciplined proprietary investment strategies, while maintaining broad sector and portfolio diversification.

 

Principal Risks

You may lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund is subject to the following principal risks, more fully described in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”. The Fund’s net asset value and total returns may be adversely affected if any of the following occurs:

oThe market values of securities acquired by the Fund decline.
oLarge capitalization securities underperform other segments of the equity market or equity markets as a whole.
oThe Adviser does not execute the Fund’s principal investment strategies effectively.
oSecurity prices fluctuate in response to events affecting an issuer’s profitability or viability.
oThere is no assurance that large companies can withstand serious deterioration during periods of severe economic distress.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of National Penn Bank or any of its affiliates and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency.

 

By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan and should be considered a long-term investment for investors who can afford to weather changes in the value of their investment.

 

Performance

The following information provides some indication of 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 returns for one year, five year, ten year, and since the Fund’s inception compare with those of broad measures of market performance.   Past performance of the Fund (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: www.ialfx.com.

 

On March 31, 2009 the National Penn ITC (“NPITC”) Equity Fund, a collective investment fund, was converted to the Fund. The information below, for periods prior to March 31, 2009, includes the past performance of the NPITC Equity Fund, a separate account managed by Institutional Advisors, a business unit of National Penn Investors Trust Company, the predecessor investment entity to the Adviser in a fashion that is in all material respects equivalent to the management of the Fund. The data below reflects NPITC Equity Fund’s performance information over a period before the Fund’s registration statement became effective. The relevant account was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) and therefore was not subject to certain investment restrictions that are imposed by the 1940 Act; and if the relevant account was registered under the 1940 Act, its performance may have been adversely affected. The prior

performance has been restated to reflect the imposition of the total expenses of the Fund for its initial fiscal year rather than the actual expenses of the NPITC Equity Fund.

 

During the period shown in the chart, the Fund’s best performing quarter was for the three months ended December 31, 2013: 28.29%. During the same period, the Fund’s worst performing quarter was for the three months ended December 31, 2008: (29.89)%.

 

In the following table, after-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates. These after-tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state or local taxes. Your after-tax returns may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to shareholders investing through tax-deferred programs such as an IRA plan. Future results may be different from those shown.

In calculating the federal income taxes due on redemptions, capital gains taxes resulting from redemptions are subtracted from the redemption proceeds and the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from the redemptions are added to the redemption proceeds. Under certain circumstances, the addition of the tax benefits from capital losses resulting from redemptions may cause the Returns After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares to be greater than the Returns After Taxes on Distributions or even the Returns Before Taxes.

 

Investment Adviser

Institutional Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”).

 

Portfolio Manager

Terry L. Morris, Senior Vice President, has been primarily responsible for day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio since inception on March 31, 2009, and of the NPITC Equity Fund, the collective investment fund from which the Fund was converted, since January 1, 1997.

The minimum initial investment under an automatic investment plan is $500, with no minimum for subsequent investments. The minimum initial investment amounts may be reduced or waived in some cases.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will generally be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account.  Such tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from those arrangements. 

 

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s Web site for more information.
