Accordingly, the fee tables found in the Fund’s prospectus dated July 11, 2012 are hereby replaced with the fee tables below.

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses are estimated. These fees are expected to increase as compared to the Fund’s prior fiscal year, due to the Fund’s change in investment strategy.

4 

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets provided in the Financial Highlights. The information in the Financial Highlights reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.

5 

Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement have been restated to reflect that, effective September 1, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund until August 31, 2013, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 0.99%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, 12b-1 fees; extraordinary expenses and indirect expenses (such as “acquired funds fees and expenses”). Prior to September 1, 2012, the expense cap was 1.50%. The Adviser may be entitled to the reimbursement of any fees waived or expenses reimbursed pursuant to the agreement provided overall expenses fall below the limitations set forth above. The Adviser may recoup the sum of all fees previously waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous three (3) years, less any reimbursement previously paid, provided total expenses do not exceed the limitation set forth above. This contractual arrangement may only be terminated by mutual consent of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund, and it will automatically terminate upon the termination of the investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Adviser.

ELIMINATION OF DEALER COMMISSION AND CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE – CLASS A SHARES

The Fund is eliminating the dealer commission paid on certain Class A sales. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of $1 million or more, or purchases by qualified retirement plans with at least 200 employees. Effective with such purchases made on or after September 10, 2012, the dealer of record will no longer receive a commission on those sales. Also effective with such purchases made on or after September 10, 2012, the Fund is eliminating the 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge imposed if those Class A shares are redeemed within eighteen months of their purchase. In the case of such Class A purchases made at net asset value prior to September 10, 2012, for which a dealer commission was paid, the contingent deferred sales charge will still apply.
