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 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. The fee waiver/expense reimbursement agreement discussed above is reflected through July 25, 2024.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Retirement Shares$64$251$454$1,040
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 the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Predecessor Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund invests in equity securities that the Adviser believes have strong growth characteristics and are undervalued in the marketplace. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily (at least 65% of its net assets) in equity securities, principally common and preferred stocks, of U.S. companies. The Fund tends to invest more significantly in equity securities of companies with larger market capitalizations, but may also invest in equity securities of mid and small market capitalization companies. The Adviser considers companies with market capitalizations below $2 billion to be small capitalization companies. The Adviser considers companies with market capitalizations between $2 billion and $15 billion to be mid capitalization companies and companies with market capitalizations of $15 billion or greater to be large capitalization companies. The Fund’s primary investable universe includes any company with a market capitalization of $2 billion or greater.
In selecting securities, the Adviser seeks to invest in businesses that it believes can grow excess returns on capital into the future and which the Adviser believes trade at a discount to fair value. The Adviser also utilizes a bottom-up stock selection process to identify growth businesses with a sustainable competitive advantage. The Adviser’s evaluation of a company’s growth potential considers a variety of data including, but not limited to, size of the company’s addressable market, market share trends, pricing power, unit growth, nominal sales growth, competitive advantages that will influence a company’s ability to maintain or gain market share and generate returns on capital that exceed the cost of capital, operating leverage, capital investment required to achieve the estimated growth and the amount of free cash flow remaining for shareholders. The Adviser assesses a stock’s valuation by comparing the Adviser’s estimate of a stock’s intrinsic value to that of the market price.
The Fund maintains a portfolio of approximately 30-50 stocks. However, the actual number of portfolio holdings may vary due to market conditions. Should the Adviser’s analysis of the Fund’s investable universe determine that there are a large number of businesses that have attractive growth opportunities and are materially undervalued by the market, the Fund could own more than 50 stocks. Conversely, if the Adviser’s analysis determines that there are a more limited number of businesses conforming to the Adviser’s investment criteria, the Fund could own fewer than 30 stocks. Holdings are generally spread across a number of industries/sectors but may have a higher percentage in sectors that the Adviser believes have greater investment opportunities.
The Fund may purchase securities of companies engaged in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) and may from time to time invest in foreign securities, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).
The Adviser generally sells a stock when it believes the risk/reward characteristics turn negative, the fundamentals deteriorate, a more attractive investment is identified, or the stock achieves the Adviser’s estimate of intrinsic value. The Adviser believes that the risk/reward characteristics of a stock turn negative when the probability and magnitude of permanent capital loss related to owning a stock are not offset by the probability and magnitude of potential appreciation in stock price. Factors that may result in an increase to the risk of holding a particular stock include an incorrect assessment of the business economics by the Adviser, changes in the macroeconomic environment or secular trends, eroding competitive advantages, the failure of a company’s
management team to allocate capital to maximize per share intrinsic value and a stock price which no longer reflects an adequate discount to intrinsic value.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Before investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider your own investment goals, the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested, and the amount of risk you are willing to take. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of the bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company or any other government agency. Remember, in addition to possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund over long or even short periods of time. The principal risks of investing in the Fund are (in alphabetical order after the first six risks):
General Market Risk; Recent Market Events Risk: 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 significant periods of volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including rising inflation, the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic which resulted in a public health crisis, business interruptions, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas and the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine. While U.S. and global economies are recovering from the effects of COVID-19, the recovery is proceeding at slower than expected rates and may last for a prolonged period of time.
Growth Style Risk: Over time, a growth-oriented investing style may go in and out of favor, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that use different investing styles. Stocks of companies the Adviser believes are fast-growing may trade at a higher multiple of current earnings than other stocks. If the Adviser’s assessment of a company’s prospects for earnings growth, or how other investors will value the company’s earnings growth, is incorrect, the price of the stock may fall or may never reach the value the Adviser has placed on it. Growth stock prices tend to fluctuate more dramatically than the overall stock market and growth stocks may fall out of favor with investors for extended periods of time.
Selection Risk: The Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value and growth potential of a particular security may be incorrect. The Adviser potentially will be prevented from executing investment decisions at an advantageous time or price as a result of domestic or global market disruptions, particularly disruptions causing heightened market volatility and reduced market liquidity, as well as increased or changing regulations. 
Large Capitalization Risk: Large capitalization stocks may fall out of favor relative to small or mid capitalization stocks, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that focus on small or mid capitalization stocks. Large capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Small and Mid Capitalization Risk: The Fund’s performance may be more volatile because it may invest in issuers that are small and mid capitalization companies. Small and mid capitalization stocks may fall out of favor relative to large capitalization stocks, which may cause the Fund to underperform other equity funds that focus on
large capitalization stocks. Small and mid capitalization companies may have limited product lines, markets, and financial resources and may be more dependent upon a relatively small management group.
Equity Securities Risk: The values of equity securities may decline due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally.
Depositary Receipts Risk: Depositary receipts 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. Depositary receipts are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying foreign securities in their national markets and currencies. Depositary receipts are subject to the risks associated with investing directly in foreign securities.
Foreign Securities Risk: Because the Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers, an investment in the Fund is subject to special risks in addition to those of U.S. securities. These risks include heightened political and economic risks, greater volatility, currency fluctuations, higher transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment, possible sanctions by governmental bodies of other countries and less stringent investor protection and disclosure standards of foreign markets.
IPO Risk: An IPO presents the risk that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. Because of the price volatility of IPO shares, the Fund may choose to hold IPO shares for a very short period of time. This may increase the turnover of a portfolio and may lead to increased expenses to the Fund, such as commissions and transaction costs.
Issuer Risk: An adverse event affecting a particular issuer in which the Fund is invested, such as an unfavorable earnings report, may depress the value of that issuer’s stock, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.
Limited Number of Holdings Risk: Although the Fund is a diversified fund, the Fund may invest in a limited number of companies. As a result, an adverse event affecting a particular company may hurt the Fund’s performance more than if it had invested in a larger number of companies.
Preferred Stock Risk: Preferred stocks in which the Fund may invest are sensitive to interest rate changes, generally decreasing in value if interest rates rise and increasing in value if interest rates fall. Preferred stocks are also subject to equity risk, which is the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time and credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of preferred stock will fail to make its dividend payments.
Sector Risk: Because the Fund may, from time to time, be more heavily invested in particular sectors, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect those sectors.
