Annual Fund Operating Expenses
Port Street Quality Growth Fund
Institutional Class Shares
Management Fees 0.85%
Shareholder Servicing Plan Fees 0.10%
Other Expenses 0.62%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses 0.05%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 1.62% [1]
Less: Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement (0.42%) [2]
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and Expense Reimbursement 1.20% [2]
[1] The Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Expense (Reimbursement)/Recoupment does not correlate to the ratio of expenses to average net assets included in the Financial Highlights section of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses ("AFFE").
[2] Port Street Investments, LLC (the "Adviser" or "Port Street") has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees and reimburse the Fund for its operating expenses, in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding any AFFE, leverage, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.15% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Expenses reimbursed and/or fees reduced by the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of three fiscal years following the fiscal year during which such reimbursement or reduction was made, if such recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the time the waiver and/or reimbursement occurred and at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement will be in effect and cannot be terminated through July 28, 2017.
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 expense limitation for one year).
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 the annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. For the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund’s approach to investing focuses on those companies that can be purchased at market prices below their fair value with a record of consistent, above average profit growth; strong balance sheets; sustainable competitive advantages; and capable management.  The source of such growth is persistently above average profitability, which, when combined with a sensible policy relating to the payout of such profits and intelligent re-investment, results in the compounding of retained earnings and long-term growth.  The Fund’s investment strategy is designed to grow purchasing power in excess of inflation and outperform the general market over time while mitigating losses during periods of economic adversity.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, including common stocks.  Although the Fund invests in equity securities issued by companies of any capitalization, it focuses a greater portion of its investments in larger-capitalization (“larger cap”) companies, many of which generate income through dividend distributions as well as providing capital appreciation opportunities.  The Fund generally considers a company to be a larger cap company if it has a market capitalization, at the time of purchase, over $3 billion.

The Fund divides responsibility for investment management between the Adviser and Saratoga Research & Investment Management, an unaffiliated sub-adviser (the “Sub-Adviser” or “Saratoga”).  As part of its services to the Fund, the Adviser evaluates and recommends professional investment managers to serve as sub-advisers, formulates and implements the Fund’s investment program, and oversees the management of the Fund’s investments by the Sub-Adviser.  The Adviser may make specific portfolio investments for the Fund’s portfolio if the Adviser allocates all or a portion of the Fund’s assets for its direct management. Subject to the Adviser’s oversight, the Sub-Adviser is primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.  The Fund, the Trust and the Adviser have applied to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for an exemptive order that will permit the Adviser, subject to Board approval, to enter into new or modified sub-advisory agreements with existing or new sub-advisers for the Fund without obtaining the approval of Fund shareholders. There is no guarantee that such an order will be issued.

In selecting securities for the Fund’s portfolio, the Sub-Adviser begins by performing a quantitative screen on a database of approximately 10,000 companies to identify those companies with a healthy balance sheet, not more than a moderate amount of leverage, a non-capital intensive business model, profitability, a propensity for above average profit margins, and management that has proven adept at allocating capital over time.  This screen typically reduces the Fund’s investment universe to 150 to 200 companies.

Subject to the Adviser’s investment oversight responsibilities, the Sub-Adviser studies the business models of the companies identified during the initial screen to better understand the drivers of each company’s performance.  The Sub-Adviser then uses valuation analysis to establish target purchase prices for each company.  The result of this process is a portfolio of 25 to 45 companies the Sub-Adviser believes are quality issuers that have the ability to grow future profits in excess of market averages and are priced at a discount to their intrinsic values.

In addition to investing in equity securities issued by larger cap companies, the Fund may invest in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The Fund may also invest up to 25% of its total assets in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), which are negotiable certificates issued by U.S. banks that represent a specified number of shares of a foreign stock that is traded on a U.S. exchange.
Principal Risks
As with any mutual fund, there are risks to investing.  An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental 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 short or even long periods of time.  The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:

General Market Risk. The Fund’s net asset value and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities.  Certain securities 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.

Management Risk.  The Fund may not meet its investment objective or may underperform the market or other mutual funds with similar strategies if the Adviser and Sub-Adviser cannot successfully implement the Fund’s investment strategies.

Asset Allocation Risk.  The Fund’s allocation among various asset classes and investments may not produce the desired results.

Multiple Manager Risk.  The Fund could experience overlapping or offsetting securities transactions, which may lead to higher transaction expenses.

Equity Securities Risk.  The equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value.  This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors, geographic markets, or companies in which the Fund invests.

Growth-Style Investing Risk.  Investors expect growth companies to increase their earnings at a certain rate that is generally higher than the rate expected for non-growth companies.  If a growth company does not meet these expectations, the price of its stock may decline significantly, even if it has increased earnings.  Growth companies also typically do not pay dividends.  Companies that pay dividends may experience less significant stock price declines during market downturns.

Limited Holdings Risk.  The Fund may have a relatively high concentration of assets in a single or small number of issuers, which may reduce its diversification and result in increased volatility.

Large Cap, Mid Cap and Small Cap Companies Risk.  The Fund’s investment in larger companies is subject to the risk that larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion. Securities of mid cap and small cap companies may be more volatile and less liquid than the securities of large cap companies.

Foreign Securities Risk.  Investments in securities issued by foreign companies involve risks not generally associated with investments in securities of U.S. companies, including risks relating to political, social, and economic developments abroad, differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory and tax requirements, and market practices, as well as fluctuations in foreign currencies.

ADR Risk.  ADRs are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities because their values depend on the performance of the underlying foreign securities.  ADRs may be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities.  A sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depositary, whereas a depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without participation by the issuer of the depositary security. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of such depositary receipts, and the issuers of unsponsored ADRs frequently are under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the company that issues the underlying foreign securities or to pass through voting rights to the holders of the ADRs.  As a result, there may not be a correlation between such information and the market values of unsponsored ADRs.

Investment Company Risk. The Fund bears all risks associated with the investment companies (including ETFs) in which it invests, including the risk that an investment company will not successfully implement its investment strategy or meet its investment objective. The Fund also bears its pro rata portion of an investment company’s total expenses, in addition to the Fund’s own expenses, and therefore the Fund’s total expenses may be higher than if it invested directly in the securities held by the investment company.

ETF Risk.  The market price of an ETF fluctuates based on changes in the ETF’s net asset value as well as changes in the supply and demand of its shares in the secondary market.  It is also possible that an active secondary market of an ETF’s shares may not develop and market trading in the shares of the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances.  The lack of liquidity in a particular ETF could result in it being more volatile than the ETF’s underlying portfolio of securities.

Newer Fund Risk.  The Fund has limited operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size, in which case the Board may determine to liquidate the Fund.

Adviser Risk.  The Adviser and Sub-Adviser have limited experience managing a mutual fund.

After tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.  Actual after-tax returns depend on your situation and may differ from those shown.  Furthermore, the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to those who hold their shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”).  After-tax returns are shown only for the Institutional Class; after-tax returns for the Investor Class will vary to the extent it has different expenses. The Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares is higher than other return figures when a capital loss occurs upon the redemption of Fund shares.
