[1] Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., through a separately identifiable department ("Investment Adviser"), has contractually agreed to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses Class I and Retail Class Shares the Fund to 0.80% through March 1, 2023 (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures that are capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and amounts payable pursuant to any plan adopted in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“the 1940 Act”)) (the “Expense Limitation Agreement”). Because Rule 12b-1 fees are excluded from the expense limit, total net operating expenses after waiver/reimbursement for Retail Class shares of the Fund will be 1.05% of the average daily net assets, as shown above. The Expense Limitation Agreement may only be terminated during its term with approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
EXAMPLE

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund's Class I Shares and Retail Class Shares to the cost of investing in other mutual funds. This example gives effect to the Expense Limitation Agreement for 1 year and the first year of the 3-, 5- and 10-year calculations. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund's Class I Shares and Retail Class Shares for the time periods indicated and then 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 operating expenses of the Fund's Class I Shares and Retail Class Shares remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Class I Shares 72 225 391 871
Retail Class Shares 107 677 1,274 2,892
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 above, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 18% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in large capitalization publicly traded equity securities. Commonly referred to as large cap stocks, such securities will be issued by domestic and foreign issuers both directly and in the form of depository receipts, including American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”), representing an interest in these securities. The Fund primarily seeks to buy common stock and may also invest in preferred stock. The Investment Adviser considers large cap securities to be securities that at the time of purchase have a market capitalization within the range of companies included in the S&P 500 Index. As of January 31, 2022, the market capitalization range of companies included in the S&P 500 Index was $6.6 billion to $2.9 trillion. The Fund’s strategy is based on fundamental business analysis and a long-term orientation that blends aspects of growth and value investing. The Investment Adviser selects companies based on their qualitative merits, competitive profile and prospective value creation potential. As part of the Fund’s investment process, the Investment Adviser considers environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors for each investment in the portfolio. ESG factors include, but are not limited to the environmental and social impact of the issuer, as well as the issuers instituted governance programs. The Fund follows a “buy and own” approach that does not make use of short-term trades in pursuit of small gains. The Investment Adviser believes that its long-term orientation can benefit the Fund’s net performance results. Investments may be sold if they appreciate to levels at or near the higher end of the Investment Adviser’s estimated ranges of intrinsic value. The Fund is non-diversified and may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than would a diversified fund.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF THE FUND The principal risks of investing in the Fund and the circumstances reasonably likely to adversely affect an investment are listed and described below. The share price of the Fund changes daily, based on market conditions and other factors. A shareholder may lose money by investing in the Fund. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Investment Risk: Investors in the Fund could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. Market Risk: The price of a security may fall due to changing economic, political, regulatory or market conditions, or due to a company’s or issuer’s individual situation. Natural disasters, the spread of infectious illness and other public health emergencies, recession, terrorism and other unforeseeable events may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse effects on world economies and markets generally. Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities risk is the risk that prices of equity securities rise and fall daily due to factors affecting individual companies, particular industries or the equity market as a whole. 6 Large Cap Company Risk: Because the Fund invests in large cap company securities, it may underperform other funds during periods when the Fund’s large cap securities are out of favor. Non-Diversification Risk: Because a non-diversified fund under the federal securities laws may invest in a relatively small number of issuers compared to a diversified fund, changes in the financial condition of individual issuers, as well as political, regulatory or economic occurrences affecting such issuers may cause greater fluctuation in the value of a non-diversified fund’s shares. However, the Fund intends to satisfy the asset diversification requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Foreign Investment Risk: Investing in securities of foreign-based companies, including ADRs, involves risks not typically associated with investing in securities of companies organized and operated in the United States. These risks include adverse political, social and economic developments abroad, different kinds and levels of market and issuer regulations, and the different characteristics of overseas economies and markets. These factors can make foreign investments more volatile and potentially less liquid than U.S. investments. Management Risk: The Fund is actively managed, and its success depends upon the investment skills and analytical abilities of the Investment Adviser to develop and effectively implement strategies that achieve the Fund’s investment objective. Subjective decisions made by the Investment Adviser may cause the Fund to incur losses or to miss profit opportunities on which it may otherwise have capitalized. 7 Large Shareholder Risk: Asset allocation decisions, particularly large redemptions, made by an investment adviser whose discretionary clients make up a large percentage of the Fund’s shareholders may adversely impact remaining Fund shareholders.
