Investment Objective
The investment objective of Bridge Builder Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is to provide total return (capital appreciation plus income).

Fees and Expenses of the Fund
The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
 
   
Management Fees(1)
0.32%
Distribution and Service (12b-1) Fees
None
Other Expenses(2)
0.06%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
0.38%
   
(1)
Olive Street Investment Advisers, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fees to the extent management fees to be paid to the Adviser exceed the management fees the Adviser is required to pay the Fund’s Sub-Advisers.  This contractual agreement may only be changed or eliminated by the Board of Trustees.  Such waivers are not subject to reimbursement by the Fund.
(2)
Other expenses are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.

Example
The Example below is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  This 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 Cap for the first year).  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

1 Year
3 Years
$39
$122

Portfolio Turnover
The Fund will pay 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.  As the Fund is new, it does not have any portfolio turnover as of the date of this Prospectus.

Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes) in fixed income securities and other instruments, such as derivatives and certain investment companies (see below), with economic characteristics similar to fixed income securities.  The Fund’s assets are allocated across different fixed-income market sectors and maturities.  Most of the Fund’s investments are fixed-income securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies or municipalities, U.S. corporate issuers, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), privately-issued securities (e.g., Rule 144A securities), floating rate securities, and mortgage-related and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), including pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), adjustable rate mortgage securities (“ARMs”), interest-only securities (“IOs”), principal-only securities (“POs”), inverse floaters, privately-issued MBS, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and mortgage dollar rolls.  A mortgage dollar roll is a transaction in which the Fund sells mortgage-related securities for immediate settlement and simultaneously purchases the same type of securities for forward settlement at a discount. The Fund may purchase or sell securities which it is eligible to purchase or sell on a when-issued and delayed-delivery basis and may make contracts to purchase or sell such securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond normal settlement time (forward commitments), including to be announced MBS (“TBA”).  The purchase or sale of securities on a when-issued basis or on a delayed delivery basis or through a forward commitment involves the purchase or sale of securities by the Fund at an established price with payment and delivery taking place in the future.  The Fund will invest in securities denominated in U.S. dollars only.  The Fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in securities deemed below investment grade, also known as “junk bonds”.  The Fund may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated securities issued by foreign entities, including emerging market securities.  The Fund may also invest in other investment companies, including other open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that have characteristics that are consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.  The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in futures, primarily interest rate and U.S. Treasury futures.  The Fund may buy or sell futures to gain or hedge exposure to risk factors or alter the portfolio’s investment characteristics.

The Fund’s portfolio is constructed by combining the investment styles and strategies of multiple Sub-Advisers that will be retained by the Adviser (each a “Sub-Adviser”).  Each Sub-Adviser may use both its own proprietary and external research and securities selection processes to manage its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets.  The Fund is designed to allow managers to invest in various fixed income market sectors while typically seeking to maintain the Fund’s duration within 25% (plus or minus) of the duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index (the Fund’s benchmark index).  Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of the price of a fixed income security (or a portfolio of fixed income securities) to changes in interest rates.  The prices of fixed income securities with less duration generally will be less affected by changes in interest rates than the prices of fixed income securities with greater duration.  For example, a 5 year duration means the fixed income security is expected to decrease in value by 5% if interest rates rise 1% and increase in value by 5% if interest rates fall 1%, holding other factors constant.  The duration of the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index varies significantly over time, but as of September 30, 2013, it was 5.52 years.

Portfolio securities may be sold at any time.  Sales may occur when a Sub-Adviser determines to take advantage of what a Sub-Adviser considers to be a better investment opportunity, when a Sub-Adviser believes the portfolio securities no longer represent relatively attractive investment opportunities, when a Sub-Adviser perceives deterioration in the credit fundamentals of the issuer, or when a Sub-Adviser believes it would be appropriate to do so in order to readjust the duration or asset allocation of the Fund’s investment portfolio.

The Adviser currently intends to allocate Fund assets to the following Sub-Advisers-:  Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc. (“Baird”), J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. (“JPMIM”) and Prudential Investment Management, Inc. (“Prudential”).  Below is a summary of each Sub-Adviser’s principal investment strategies.  Allocations to the Sub-Advisers may be adjusted at any time.

Baird’s Principal Investment Strategies
Baird utilizes a structured, risk-controlled philosophy with a disciplined duration approach to invest its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets. Baird will normally invest in the following types of U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities:
U.S. government and other public-sector entities
Asset-backed and mortgage-backed obligations of U.S. and foreign issuers
Corporate debt of U.S. and foreign issuers

JPMIM’s Principal Investment Strategies
JPMIM incorporates a bottom-up, value-oriented approach in managing its allocated portion of the Fund’s assets.  Taking a long-term approach, JPMIM looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles.  JPMIM is value-oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity and the complex legal and technical structure of the transaction.

Prudential’s Principal Investment Strategies
Prudential’s strategy is based on the philosophy that research-driven security selection is the most consistent strategy for adding value to client portfolios.  Prudential complements that base strategy with modest sector rotation, duration management, and disciplined trade execution.  Prudential uses a team approach to attempt to add value by tilting toward fixed income sectors that it believes are attractive and by utilizing its extensive research capabilities to choose attractive fixed-income securities within sectors.

Principal Risks
Since the Fund will hold securities with fluctuating market prices, the value of the Fund’s shares will vary as its portfolio securities increase or decrease in value.  Therefore, the value of your investment in the Fund could go down as well as up.  You may lose money by investing in the Fund.  The principal risks affecting the Fund that can cause a decline in value are:

Active Management Risk.  The Fund is actively managed with discretion and may underperform market indices or other mutual funds with similar investment objectives.

Asset-Backed, Mortgage-Related and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk.  Borrowers may default on the obligations that underlie ABS, mortgage-related securities and MBS and, during periods of falling interest rates, such securities may be called or prepaid, which may result in the Fund having to reinvest proceeds in other investments at a lower interest rate.  The resulting risk is that the impairment of the value of the collateral underlying a security in which the Fund invests (due, for example, to non-payment of loans) may result in a reduction in the value of the security.  CMOs, MBS, ARMs, IOs, POs, and inverse floaters may be more volatile and may be more sensitive to interest rate changes and prepayments than other mortgage-related securities. The risk of default, as described under "Credit Risk," for privately-issued and sub-prime mortgages is generally higher than other types of MBS. The structure of some of these securities may be complex and there may be less available information than other types of debt securities.

Credit Risk.  An issuer of a fixed income security may fail to pay all or a portion of the payment of principal and/or interest on a security.  A security may decline in price if market participants become concerned regarding the credit-worthiness or credit-rating of the issuer, regardless of whether a bond has defaulted.

Counterparty Risk.  The Fund may be involved in financial transactions or contracts with other parties.  There is risk these parties may be unable or unwilling to fulfill their obligations, which could adversely impact the value of the Fund.

Derivatives Risk.  An investment in derivatives (such as futures, including interest rate and U.S. Treasury futures) may not perform as anticipated by the Sub-Advisers, may not be able to be closed out at a favorable time or price, or may increase the Fund’s volatility.  Futures may create investment leverage so that when a futures contract is used as a substitute for or alternative to a direct cash investment, the transaction may not provide a return that corresponds precisely with that of the cash investment or when used for hedging purposes, the futures contract may not provide the anticipated protection, causing the Fund to lose money on both the futures contract and the exposure the Fund sought to hedge.  Increases and decreases in the value of the Fund’s portfolio may be magnified when the Fund uses leverage.  Futures are also subject to correlation risk, which is the risk that changes in the value of the futures contract may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index.  The Fund’s use of futures is also subject to market risk and liquidity risk, each of which is described below.

Floating Rate Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in obligations with interest rates which are reset periodically.  Although floating rate securities are generally less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate instruments, the value of floating rate securities may decline if their interest rates do not rise as quickly, or as much, as general interest rates.

Foreign Securities Risk (including Emerging Markets Risk).  The risks of investing in foreign securities, including those in emerging markets, can increase the potential for losses in the Fund and may include currency risk, political and economic instability, additional or fewer government regulations, less publicly available information, limited trading markets, differences in financial reporting standards, fewer protections for passive investors and less stringent regulation of securities markets.

Interest Rate Risk.  The value of fixed income securities may decline because of increases in interest rates.  The value of a fixed income security with greater duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a similar security with less duration.

Investment Company and Exchange-Traded Fund Risk.  An investment company, including an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”), in which the Fund invests may not achieve its investment objective or execute its investment strategies effectively or a large purchase or redemption activity by shareholders of such an investment company might negatively affect the value of the investment company’s shares.  The Fund must also pay its pro rata portion of an investment company’s fees and expenses.

Investment Strategy Risk.  There is no assurance the Fund’s investment objective will be achieved.  Investment decisions may not produce the expected results.  The value of the Fund may decline, and the Fund may underperform other funds with similar objectives and strategies.

Liquidity Risk.  Low trading volume, a lack of a market maker, or contractual or legal restrictions may limit or prevent the Fund from selling securities or closing derivative positions at desirable times or prices.

Market Risk.  The overall market may perform poorly or the returns from the securities in which the Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets or other types of investments.

Mortgage Roll Risk.  The use of mortgage dollar rolls is a speculative technique involving leverage, and can have an economic effect similar to borrowing money for investment purposes. Mortgage roll risk transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities the Fund is required to purchase may decline below the agreed upon repurchase price of those securities. If the broker/dealer to whom the Fund sells securities becomes insolvent, the Fund’s right to purchase or repurchase securities may be restricted.  Successful use of mortgage dollar rolls may depend upon a Sub-Adviser’s ability to correctly predict interest rates and prepayments.

Multi-Manager and Multi-Style Management Risk.  To a significant extent, the Fund’s performance will depend on the success of the Adviser’s methodology in allocating the Fund’s assets to Sub-Advisers and its selection and oversight of the Sub-Advisers and on a Sub-Adviser’s skill in executing the relevant strategy and selecting investments for the Fund.  Because portions of the Fund's assets are managed by different Sub-Advisers using different styles, the Fund could experience overlapping securities transactions.  Certain Sub-Advisers may be purchasing securities at the same time other Sub-Advisers may be selling those same securities, which may lead to higher transaction expenses compared to the Fund using a single investment management style.

Municipal Securities Risk.  Municipal securities may have greater risks relating to political, regulatory and tax conditions or conditions in discrete geographic areas.

New Fund Risk.  The Fund is new and has no operating history, and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may buy and sell investments frequently. Such a strategy often involves higher transaction costs, including brokerage commissions, and may increase the amount of capital gains (in particular, short term gains) realized by the Fund.  Shareholders may pay tax on such capital gains.

Privately Issued Securities Risk.  Investment in privately placed securities may be less liquid than in publicly traded securities.  Although these securities may be resold in privately negotiated transactions, the prices realized from these sales could be less than those originally paid by the Fund or less than what may be considered the fair value of such securities.  Further, companies whose securities are not publicly traded may not be subject to the disclosure and other investor protection requirements that might be applicable if their securities were publicly traded.

Redemption Risk.  The Fund may experience losses when selling securities to meet redemption requests.  This risk is greater for larger redemption requests or redemption requests during adverse market conditions.

Reinvestment Risk.  Cash flows from fixed income securities are generally reinvested at prevailing market rates.  A decline in market rates could adversely affect the Fund’s ability to meet its investment objective.

U.S. Government Securities Risk.  U.S. government obligations are affected by changes or expected changes in interest rates, among other things.  While U.S. Treasury obligations are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, they are still subject to credit risk.  Securities issued or guaranteed by federal agencies or authorities or U.S. government sponsored instrumentalities or enterprises may or may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.  Moreover, some securities are neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. government.  The U.S. Department of the Treasury has the authority to provide financial support to these debt obligations, but no assurance can be given that the U.S. government will do so.

When-Issued, Delayed Delivery and Forward Commitment Transactions Risk.  When-issued transactions, delayed delivery purchases and forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the securities declines prior to the settlement date.  Therefore, these transactions may result in a form of leverage and increase the Fund’s overall investment exposure.  When the Fund has sold a security on a when-issued, delayed delivery, or forward commitment basis, the Fund does not participate in future gains or losses with respect to the security.  These transactions are also subject to counterparty risk, which is described above.

Performance
Because the Fund commenced operations on the date of this Prospectus, it does not have a full calendar year of performance to compare against a broad measure of market performance.  Accordingly, performance information is not provided at this time.  Performance information will be available after the Fund has been in operation for one calendar year.  At that time, the performance information will provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by comparing it against a broad measure of market performance.
