[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] Interest on Securities Sold Short reflects interest expense on borrowed securities. Interest expense results from the Fund's use of prime brokerage arrangements to execute short sales. Such expenses are required to be treated as a Fund expense for accounting purposes and are not payable to the Fund or the Advisor. Any interest expense amount on securities sold short will vary based on the Fund's use of those investments.
[3] "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.
[4] Cavalier Investments, LLC, the investment advisor to the Fund (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 each class of 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, 2019 , and may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board" or the "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. The Example includes the Fund's contractual expense limitation through September 30, 2019.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund's portfolio managers seek to achieve the Fund's investment objective of capital appreciation by investing in mutual, exchange-traded, and/or closed end funds that are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and not affiliated with the Fund (together, the "Portfolio Funds"). In order to hedge these investments, the portfolio managers will also buy and sell options. The Fund is considered "diversified" under the 1940 Act.
The investments of the Portfolio Funds will be comprised primarily of U.S. equities, international equities, and emerging market equities that the portfolio managers believe represent the performance of the overall market.
The Fund may also take long and short positions in options on the Fund's portfolio securities to hedge the Fund's portfolio and in options on the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index ("VIX") to hedge volatility. The Fund hedges its portfolio by purchasing put options, which seek to hedge against a decline in the value of the Fund's portfolio securities. By buying a put option, the Fund acquires a right to sell such underlying securities or instruments at the exercise price, thus limiting the Fund's risk of loss through a decline in the market value of the securities or instruments until the put option expires.
The Fund purchases call options on the VIX at a specific strike price while also selling the same number of calls of the same asset and expiration date but at a higher strike. This strategy is used when a moderate rise in the price of the underlying asset is expected.
The Fund's investments will not be limited by market capitalization or sector criteria, and the Portfolio Funds may invest in foreign securities, including foreign securities in emerging markets.
