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 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 (taking into account the contractual fee waiver/expense reimbursement through October 31, 2022).
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Institutional Shares$110$346$602$1,337
Investor Shares$128$402$698$1,542
Retirement Shares$101$317$554$1,233
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 generate 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2020, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 157% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in common stocks of U.S. corporations that are judged by Hood River to have strong growth characteristics or to be undervalued in the marketplace relative to underlying profitability and have a market capitalization which, at the time of purchase, is consistent with the capitalization ranges of the S&P SmallCap 600® Index and the Russell 2000® Growth Index (“small-cap companies”). Although the Fund does not invest in derivatives as part of its principal investment strategy, the Fund may include in its 80% calculation derivative investments that are tied economically to small-cap companies.
The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings (“IPOs”).
The Fund may from time to time invest in foreign securities including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), and in convertible securities, including preferred stock, warrants and debentures.
The Fund may invest in the securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and the rules thereunder.
In selecting securities, the research process utilized by Hood River begins by screening a universe of stocks with market capitalizations of generally less than $5 billion which exhibit strong growth characteristics and attractive valuation relative to underlying profitability. Hood River then performs fundamental and valuation analysis and additional research to select stocks for the Fund.
The Fund maintains a portfolio of approximately 60-120 stocks, which is constructed with the overall goal of mitigating risk. However, the actual amount of the portfolio holdings may vary due to market conditions.
Hood River periodically engages in active trading of Fund securities.
Hood River generally sells stocks when it believes they have become overvalued, when the fundamentals weaken or if poor relative price performance persists.
As of September 30, 2020, the average weighted market capitalization represented by companies in the Russell 2000® Growth Index was approximately $3 billion, and the average weighted market capitalization represented by companies in the S&P SmallCap 600® Index was $975 million. Due to market price adjustments or other events after the time of purchase, it is possible that a company’s market capitalization may drift above or below this range. Nevertheless, a company whose capitalization no longer meets this definition after purchase continues to be considered to have a small market capitalization for purposes of the 80% policy. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in stocks of companies in other capitalization ranges.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
An investment in the Fund is subject to the principal risks summarized below, which are further described under “Additional Principal Risk Information.”
General Market Risk; Recent Market Events. The value of the Fund’s shares will fluctuate based on the performance of the Fund’s investments and other factors affecting the securities markets generally. Certain investments selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time. The value of the Fund’s investments may go up or down, sometimes dramatically and unpredictably, based on current market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse political or economic conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the fixed income markets or adverse investor sentiment.
U.S. and international markets have experienced a significant period of volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) as a global pandemic, which has resulted in public health issues, business interruptions, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, layoffs, rising unemployment claims, changed travel and social behaviors, and reduced consumer spending. The effects of COVID-19 may lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies, the recovery from which is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time.
Equity Risk: Common stocks and other equity securities generally increase or decrease in value based on the earnings of a company and on general industry and market conditions. A fund that invests a significant amount of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities is likely to have greater fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities.
Small Company Risk: The Fund is subject to greater volatility than funds that invest in large-cap companies. Small-cap companies may be more vulnerable than large-cap companies to adverse business or economic developments, their securities may be less liquid and more volatile than securities of larger companies, and they may suffer significant losses. Small-cap companies may also be more difficult to value than large-cap companies.
Growth Investing Risk: Growth stocks are typically priced higher than other stocks, in relation to earnings and other measures, because investors believe they have more growth potential. Growth prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market.
Management Risk: The performance of the Fund will depend on whether or not Hood River is successful in pursuing the Fund’s investment strategies.
Sector Emphasis Risk: Although Hood River selects stocks based on their individual merits, some economic sectors will represent a larger portion of the Fund’s overall investment portfolio than other sectors.  Potential negative market or economic developments affecting one of the larger sectors could have a greater impact on the Fund than on a fund with fewer holdings in that sector.
Health Care Sector Risk: To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the health care sector, the Fund will be sensitive to risks affecting health care companies. Companies in the health care sector are subject to government regulation and may be affected by reimbursement rates, government approval of products and services, patent protection and research and development costs.
Valuation Risk: It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that stocks in general or the specific securities that the Fund buys will increase in value.
Foreign Security Risk: Investments in a foreign market are subject to foreign security risk. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors. Income and dividends earned on foreign investments may be subject to foreign withholding taxes.
ADR Risk: ADRs are certificates evidencing ownership of shares of a foreign issuer. These certificates are issued by depository banks and generally trade on an established market in the U.S. or elsewhere. The underlying shares are held in trust by a custodian bank or similar financial institution. The depository bank may not have physical custody of the underlying securities at all times and may charge fees for various services, including forwarding dividends and interest and corporate actions. ADRs are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. However, ADRs continue to be subject to many of the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities. These risks include foreign exchange risk as well as the political and economic risks of the underlying issuer’s country.
IPO Risk: The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in IPOs. The price of securities purchased in IPOs can be very volatile. The Fund’s investments in IPO shares may include the securities of “unseasoned” companies (companies with less than three years of continuous operations), which present risks considerably greater than common stocks of more established companies. These companies may be involved in new and evolving businesses and may be vulnerable to competition and changes in technology, markets and economic conditions. They may be more dependent on key managers and third parties and may have limited product lines. The effect of IPO investments on the Fund’s performance depends on a variety of factors, including the number of IPOs the Fund invests in relative to the size of the Fund, and whether and to what extent a security purchased in an IPO appreciates or depreciates in value. When the Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
Cybersecurity Risk: With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Fund is susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. Cyber incidents affecting the Fund or its service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”), impediments to trading, the inability of
shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs.
Portfolio Turnover Risk: The Fund engages in active and frequent trading, resulting in high portfolio turnover. The higher the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs and the greater the chance of a shareholder receiving distributions of taxable gains in the year.
Liquidity Risk: Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that the Fund would like. Securities of small-cap companies may trade less frequently and in smaller volumes than more widely held securities. The values of these securities may fluctuate more sharply than those of other securities, and the Fund may experience some difficulty in establishing or closing out positions in these securities at prevailing market prices.
Other Investment Companies Risk:  You will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by underlying investment companies in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses.  As a result, your cost of investing in the Fund will be higher than the cost of investing directly in the underlying investment company shares.
