Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost 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. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 2/29/12, and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.

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 Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the period 5/28/2010, through 10/31/2010, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate (including short sales) was 313% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

The Fund takes long and short positions in equity securities, selecting from a universe of mid- to large capitalization stocks. The equity securities the Fund invests in will have market characteristics and capitalizations similar to those included in the Russell 1000 and/or S&P 500 Index at the time of purchase. As of January 31, 2011, the market capitalizations of the companies in the Russell 1000 Index included companies with up to $411 billion and S&P 500 Index included companies with range of $1.5 billion to $406 billion. In implementing its strategy, the Fund invests primarily in common stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and depositary receipts.

The Fund purchases securities that it believes are undervalued and sells short securities that it believes are overvalued. The Fund’s net equity market exposure will typically range from 20 to 30%; however, in response to market conditions the Fund may adjust its equity market exposure. Under normal market conditions, its net long equity market exposure will not exceed 50% and its net short equity market exposure will not exceed 20%. Further, the Fund’s gross equity market exposure is limited to 200%. The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its total assets in cash when it holds significant short positions. By taking both long and short positions, the Fund seeks to provide some protection in down markets when compared to a fund that takes only long positions.

Selling stock short allows the Fund to more fully exploit insights into stocks that the Fund’s adviser expects to underperform. Short sales involve the sale of a security which the Fund does not own in hopes of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Fund must borrow the security, and the Fund is obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the Fund.

Investment Process

In managing the Fund, the adviser employs a three-step process that combines research, valuation and stock selection. The adviser takes an in-depth look at company prospects over a period as long as five years, which is designed to provide insight into a company’s real growth potential. The research findings allow the adviser to rank the companies in each sector group according to their relative value.

On behalf of the Fund, the adviser buys and sells, as well as shorts and covers shorts in, equity securities and derivatives on those securities according to its own policies, using the research and valuation rankings as a basis for its decisions. In general, the adviser buys and covers shorts in equity securities that are identified as undervalued and considers selling or shorting them when they appear overvalued. Along with attractive valuation, the adviser often considers a number of other criteria such as:

 

Ÿ  

catalysts that could trigger a rise in a stock’s price

Ÿ  

impact on the overall risk of the portfolio relative to the benchmark

Ÿ  

high potential reward compared to potential risk

Ÿ  

temporary mispricings caused by apparent market overreactions

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

 

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

Short Selling Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security sold short increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed

security. In addition, a lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and the Fund may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs, any anticipated gain to the Fund may be reduced or eliminated or the short sale may result in a loss. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. Furthermore, taking short positions in securities results in a form of leverage which may cause the Fund to be more volatile.

Foreign Securities Risk. To the extent the Fund invests in depositary receipts, such investments are subject to additional risks including political and economic risks, civil conflicts and war, greater volatility, expropriation and nationalization risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.

Real Estate Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in real estate securities, including REITs, are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate and mortgages, and their value will depend on the value of the underlying real estate interests. These risks include default, prepayments, changes in value resulting from changes in interest rates and demand for real and rental property, and the management skill and credit-worthiness of REIT issuers. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses, including management fees, paid by each REIT in which it invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk. Since the Fund is non-diversified, it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer or group of issuers than a diversified fund would. This increased investment in fewer issuers may result in the Fund’s shares being more sensitive to economic results among those issuing the securities.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities the Fund wishes to or is required to sell are illiquid.

 

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The Fund commenced operations on May 28, 2010, and therefore does not have a full calendar year of performance. Once the Fund has operated for at least one calendar year, a bar chart and performance table will be included in the prospectus to show the performance of the Fund. Although past performance of a Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
