[1] The expense information in the table has been restated to reflect current fees rather than the fees in effect during the previous fiscal year.
[2] "Acquired Fund" means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the previous fiscal year. The "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" and "Net Annual Fund Operating Expenses" will not match the Fund's gross and net expense ratios reported in the Financial Highlights from the Fund's financial statements, which reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses.
[3] The Advisor has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund under which it has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund, if necessary, in an amount that limits the Fund's annual operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, extraordinary expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and payments under the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan) to not more than 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for the Institutional and Class C shares, and to not more than 1.40% of the average daily net assets for the Class P shares. Net annual operating expenses for the Fund may exceed these limits to the extent that it incurs expenses enumerated above as exclusions. The Expense Limitation Agreement runs through September 30, 2018, and may not be terminated prior to that date except via action of the Trust's board of trustees. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid by the Advisor under the Expense Limitation Agreement.
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 the Fund's operating expenses remain the same.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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.  During the most recent fiscal period, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 327.01 % of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund's investment advisor, Cavalier Investments, LLC (the "Advisor"), and its sub-advisor, Carden Capital, LLC (the "Sub-Advisor) seek to achieve the Fund's investment objective of current income and real return by investing in no-load, institutional, mutual, exchange-traded, and/or closed end funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and not affiliated with the Fund ("Portfolio Funds") or making direct investments in portfolio securities based upon institutional research. The Fund is considered "diversified" under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The investments of the Fund and Portfolio Funds will be comprised primarily of fixed income securities, principally consisting of bonds, corporate debt securities, and government securities. Such investments will frequently include high yield corporate bonds (or "junk bonds"), emerging market debt, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The Fund and Portfolio Funds may invest in fixed income securities of any maturity and any credit rating, including bonds of issuers in default. The Fund and Portfolio Funds may occasionally invest in inverse high yield investments (which attempt to short high yield or "junk" bonds) to provide a hedge to the portfolio during negative credit events. The Fund and Portfolio Funds do not have an established average portfolio duration and the average portfolio durations will vary. The Fund and Portfolio Funds will not be limited in their investments by sector criteria, and may invest in foreign securities, including foreign securities in emerging markets. The Portfolio Funds in which the Fund invests will have an investment objective similar to the Fund's or will otherwise hold permitted investments under the Fund's investment policies. Although the Fund principally invests in Portfolio Funds with no sales related expenses or very low sales related expenses, the Fund is not precluded from investing in Portfolio Funds with sales-related expenses, redemption fees, and/or service fees.
The Advisor or Sub-Advisor will sell a Portfolio Fund when a more attractive investment opportunity is identified or the Fund's portfolio needs to be rebalanced. Decisions by the Advisor or Sub-Advisor to sell other portfolio securities will be based upon institutional research. As a result of this strategy, the Fund may have a relatively high level of portfolio turnover compared to other mutual funds, which may affect the Fund's performance due to higher transaction costs and taxes . Portfolio turnover will not be a limiting factor in making investment decisions.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
The loss of your money is a principal risk of investing in the Fund.  Investments in the Fund are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or the entire principal amount invested.  There can be no assurance that the Fund will be successful in meeting its investment objective.  The Fund will be subject to the following principal risks:
Fund of Funds Risk.  The Fund may operate as a "fund of funds."  The term "fund of funds" is typically used to describe investment companies, such as the Fund, whose principal investment strategy involves investing in other investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds, and exchange-traded funds.  Investments in other investment companies subject the Fund to additional operating and management fees and expenses.  Investors in the Fund will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the funds in which the Fund invests, in addition to the Fund's direct fees and expenses.  The Fund's performance depends in part upon the performance of the investment advisor to each Portfolio Fund, the strategies and instruments used by the Portfolio Funds, and the Advisor's ability to select Portfolio Funds and effectively allocate fund assets among them.
Control of Portfolio Funds Risk.  The Portfolio Funds each have their own unique investment objective, strategies, and risks.  There is no guarantee that the Portfolio Funds will achieve their investment objectives and the Fund has exposure to the investment risks of the Portfolio Funds in direct proportion to the allocation of assets among the funds.  The investment policies of the Portfolio Funds may differ from the Fund's policies.
Although the Fund and the Advisor will evaluate regularly each Portfolio Fund to determine whether its investment program is consistent with the Fund's investment objective, the Advisor will not have any control over the investments made by a Portfolio Fund.  The investment advisor to each Portfolio Fund may change aspects of its investment strategies at any time.  The Advisor will not have the ability to control or otherwise influence the composition of the investment portfolio of a Portfolio Fund.
Market Risk.  Market risk refers to the possibility that the value of securities held by the Fund may decline due to daily fluctuations in the market.  Market prices for securities change daily as a result of many factors, including developments affecting the condition of both individual companies and the market in general.  The price of a security mayeven be affected by factors unrelated to the value or condition of its issuer, including changes in interest rates, economic and political conditions, and general market conditions.  The Fund's performance per share will change daily in response to such factors.
Management Style Risk.  Different types of securities tend to shift into and out of favor with investors depending on market and economic conditions.  The returns from the types of Portfolio Funds and other securities purchased by the Fund (growth, value, etc.) may at times be better or worse than the returns from other types of funds.  Thus, the performance of the Fund may be better or worse than the performance of funds that focus on other types of investments, or that have a broader investment style.
Fixed Income Risk.  Investments by the Fund and Portfolio Funds in fixed income securities will subject the Fund to the risks associated with such investments.  The prices of these securities respond to economic developments, particularly interest rate changes, as well as to perceptions about the creditworthiness of individual issuers.  Fixed income securities tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise and vice versa, and the volatility of lower-rated securities is even greater than that of higher-rated securities.  Also, longer-term securities are more volatile, so the average maturity or duration of these securities affects risk.  Credit risk is the possibility that an issuer will fail to make timely payments of interest or principal or go bankrupt.  The lower the rating of a debt security, the greater its risks.
Interest Rate Risk.  Interest rates may rise resulting in a decrease in the value of the fixed income securities held by the Fund and Portfolio Funds or may fall resulting in an increase in the value of such securities.  Fixed income securities with longer maturities involve greater risk than those with shorter maturities.
Inflation Risk.  Fixed income securities held by the Fund and Portfolio Funds are subject to inflation risk.  Because inflation reduces the purchasing power of income produced by existing fixed income securities, the prices at which fixed income securities trade will be reduced to compensate for the fact that the income they produce is worth less.  This potential decrease in market value of fixed income securities would result in a loss in the value of the Fund's portfolio.
High-Yield Risk.  The Fund and Portfolio Funds may invest in junk bonds, including bonds of issuers in default, and other fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade.  Securities in this rating category are speculative and are usually issued by companies without long track records of sales and earnings, or by those companies with questionable credit strength.  Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances may have a greater effect on the ability of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments than they do on issuers of higher grade securities.  The retail secondary market for junk bonds may be less liquid than that of higher-rated securities and adverse conditions could make it difficult at times to sell certain securities or could result in lower prices.  Additionally, these instruments are unsecured and may be subordinated to other creditor's claims.
Corporate Debt Securities Risk.  The Fund and Portfolio Funds may invest in corporate debt securities.  Corporate debt securities are fixed income securities issued by businesses.  Notes, bonds, debentures, and commercial paper are the most prevalent types of corporate debt securities.  The credit risks of corporate debt securities vary widely among issuers.  In addition, the credit risk of an issuer's debt security may vary based on its priority for repayment, meaning that issuers might not make payments on subordinated securities while continuing to make payments on senior securities or, in the event of bankruptcy, holders of senior securities may receive amounts otherwise payable to the holders of subordinated securities.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk.  The Fund and Portfolio Funds may invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities.  As with other interest-bearing securities, the prices of such securities are affected by changes in interest rates.  Prices are also affected by changes in the rate of prepayment of principal, which affects the average maturity of the securities and makes it difficult to accurately predict returns.  The trading market for mortgage- and asset-backed securities, while ordinarily liquid, may become restricted in times of financial stress.
Sector Risk.  If the Fund and Portfolio Funds invest more heavily in a particular sector, the value of its shares may be especially sensitive to factors and economic risks that specifically affect that sector.  As a result, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more widely than the value of shares of a mutual fund that invests in a broader range of industries.
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk.  The Fund and Portfolio Funds may have significant investments in foreign securities, which have investment risks different from those associated with domestic securities.  The value of foreign investments may be affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar, changes in exchange control regulations, application of foreign tax laws, changes in governmental economic or monetary policy, or changed circumstances in dealings between nations.  There may be less government supervision of foreign markets, resulting in non-uniform accounting practices and less publicly available information about issuers of foreign securities.  In addition, foreign brokerage commissions, custody fees, and other costs of investing in foreign securities are often higher than in the United States.  Investments in foreign issues could be affected by other factors not present in the United States, including expropriation, armed conflict, confiscatory taxation, and potential difficulties in enforcing contractual obligations.  In addition to the risks of foreign securities in general, countries in emerging markets are more volatile and can have relatively unstable governments, social and legal systems that do not protect shareholders, economies based on only a few industries, and securities markets that trade a small number of issues which could reduce liquidity.
Derivatives Risk.  The Fund and the Portfolio Funds held by the Fund may use derivative instruments (specifically options for the purpose of hedging), which derive their value from the value of an underlying security, currency, or index.  Derivative instruments involve risks different from direct investments in the underlying assets, including: imperfect correlation between the value of the derivative instrument and the underlying assets; risks of default by the other party to the derivative instrument; risks that the transactions may result in losses of all or in excess of any gain in the portfolio positions; and risks that the transactions may not be liquid.
Short Sales Risk.  While the Fund will not short individual securities, the Portfolio Funds held by the Fund may sell securities short.  A short sale is a transaction in which the Portfolio Fund sells a security it does not own but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of the security will decline.  The Portfolio Fund must replace the borrowed security by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement, which may be more or less than the price at which the Portfolio Fund sold the security.
Leverage Risk.  While the Fund will not utilize leverage (i.e., borrowing) when making investments, the Portfolio Funds held by the Fund may utilize leverage to acquire their underlying portfolio investments.  The use of leverage may exaggerate changes in a Portfolio Fund's share price and the return on its investments.  Accordingly, the value of the Fund's investments in Portfolio Funds may be more volatile and all other risks, including the risk of loss of an investment, tend to be compounded or magnified.  Borrowing also leads to additional interest expense and other fees that increase the Portfolio Fund's expenses.
Portfolio Turnover Risk.  The Advisor will sell Portfolio Funds and other securities when it is in the interests of the Fund and its shareholders to do so without regard to the length of time they have been held.  As portfolio turnover may involve paying brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, there could be additional expenses for the Fund.  High rates of portfolio turnover may also result in the realization of short-term capital gains and losses.  Any distributions resulting from such gains will be considered ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.
Risks from Purchasing Options.  If a call or put option purchased by the Fund or a Portfolio Fund is not sold when it has remaining value and if the market price of the underlying security, in the case of a call, remains less than or equal to the exercise price, or, in the case of a put, remains equal to or greater than the exercise price, the entire investment in the option will be lost.  There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund or a Portfolio Fund seeks to close out an option position.  Where a position in a purchased option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position.
Risks from Writing Options.  The Fund, as well as the Portfolio Funds in which it invests, may sell, or "write," option contracts.  Writing option contracts can result in losses that exceed the initial investment and may lead to additional turnover and higher tax liability.  The risk involved in writing a call option is that there could be an increase in the market value of the security.  If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold by the Fund or Portfolio Funds at a lower price than its current market value.  Similarly, while writing call options can reduce the risk of owning stocks, such a strategy limits the opportunity of the Fund or Portfolio Funds to profit from an increase in the market value of stocks in exchange for up-front cash at the time of selling the call option.  The risk involved in writing a put option is that there could be a decrease in the market value of the underlying security.  If this occurred, the option could be exercised and the underlying security would then be sold to the Fund or Portfolio Funds at a higher price than its current market value.  There is no assurance that a liquid market will exist when the Fund or Portfolio Funds seeks to close out an option position.  Where a position in a written option is used as a hedge against price movements in a related position, the price of the option may move more or less than the price of the related position.
Investment Advisor Risk.  The Advisor's ability to choose suitable investments has a significant impact on the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objectives. The Advisor became a registered investment advisor with the SEC in 2015. The Advisor does not have previous experience managing an investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The portfolio managers' experience is discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled "Management of the Funds – Investment Advisor."
Fixed-Income Market Risk. The market value of a fixed-income security 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 outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment generally. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. Liquidity can decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. Increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity may be caused by a rise in interest rates (or the expectation of a rise in interest rates), which are at or near historic lows in the United States and in other countries. An unexpected increase in fund redemption requests, including requests from shareholders who may own a significant percentage of the Fund's shares, which may be triggered by market turmoil or an increase in interest rates, could cause the Fund to sell its holdings at a loss or at undesirable prices and adversely affect the Fund's share price and increase the Fund's liquidity risk, fund expenses and/or taxable distributions.
