Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in Foreign Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in Foreign Value Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that your investment has a 5 percent return each year and that Foreign Value Fund's operating expenses remain the same as set forth in the table above.  The example also assumes that an expense limitation currently in place is not renewed; therefore, the figures have been adjusted to reflect fee waivers or expense reimbursements only in the periods for which the expense limitation arrangement is expected to continue.  Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example - Pear Tree Polaris Foreign Value Fund - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Ordinary Shares	146	474	825	1,815
Institutional Shares	107	381	676	1,515
R6 Shares	106	352	618	1,377

Portfolio Turnover

Foreign Value 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 Foreign Value Fund's performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, Foreign Value Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 15 percent of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, Foreign Value Fund invests at least 80 percent of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities, warrants, and rights derivative of or convertible into common stocks, in each case issued by foreign markets issuers. Foreign Value Fund defines a foreign markets issuer to be an issuer that derives at least 50 percent of its gross revenues or profits from goods or services produced in non-U.S. markets or from sales made in non-U.S. markets. Foreign Value Fund generally will be invested in issuers in fifteen or more foreign countries and fifteen or more industry sectors (as well as a collective investment fund that invests at least 80 percent of its net assets in similar securities issued by other foreign markets issuers). However, Foreign Value Fund may be invested in securities from any country (other than the U.S.), any industry sector, or of any capitalization, provided that the securities meet the sub-adviser's investment criteria.

Using primarily a bottom-up fundamental research investment process, Foreign Value Fund looks worldwide (other than the U.S.) for undervalued securities.  Foreign Value Fund's investment strategy has two premises: country and industry factors are important determinants of security prices, and global market fluctuations produce mispriced stocks.  Foreign Value Fund's sub-adviser believes that although global markets have proven generally efficient over time, investor behavior creates volatility.  The sub-adviser also believes that that volatility should lead to inefficiently priced securities, that is, securities that may not adequately reflect a company's long-term fundamental valuation and/or future cash flows.

Foreign Value Fund's sub-adviser may utilize options. The extent of the sub-adviser's use of options may vary over time based on the sub-adviser's assessment of market conditions and other factors.  Foreign Value Fund may also buy and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with its investments.

Foreign Value Fund may invest in other derivatives (i.e., a security or instrument whose value is determined by reference to the value or the change in value of one or more securities, currencies, indices or other financial instruments) for the purpose of hedging the value of the portfolio or to establish a position in the future.  Foreign Value Fund may lend its securities, and also may hold cash, or manage its cash by investing in cash equivalents and money market funds.

Principal Investment Risks

It is possible to lose money by investing in Foreign Value Fund.  An investment in Foreign Value Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Market, Industry and Specific Holdings.  The share price of Foreign Value Fund may fall because of weakness in the stock markets, generally, weakness with respect to a particular industry in which Foreign Value Fund has significant holdings, or weaknesses associated with one or more specific companies in which Foreign Value Fund may have substantial investments.

Foreign, including Emerging Markets Investing.  Foreign Value Fund's investments in foreign securities (including ADRs) may be adversely affected by political and economic conditions overseas, reduced liquidity, or decreases in foreign currency values relative to the U.S. dollar.    The risks of foreign investing are heightened for securities of issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, political systems that are less stable, are more susceptible to governmental interference, and less liquid and efficient trading markets than those of developed countries.

Value Stock Investing.  A value investment style periodically comes into and falls out of favor with investors.  Value stocks carry the risk that the market may not recognize their intrinsic value or that they are actually appropriately priced at a low level.

Liquidity Risk.  Foreign Value Fund may not be able to sell some or all of its securities at desired prices or may be unable to sell the securities at all.

Active Management Risk.  The sub-adviser's judgments about the attractiveness, value, or potential appreciation of Foreign Value Fund's investments may prove to be incorrect.

Large- and Mid-Capitalization Securities.  Securities issued by large- and mid-cap companies tend to be less volatile than securities issued by smaller companies.  Larger companies, however, may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and may be unable to respond as quickly to competitive challenges.

Small- and Micro-Capitalization Securities.  Investments in small- and micro-capitalization companies typically present greater risks than investments in larger companies and, as a result, the performance of Foreign Value Fund may be more volatile than a fund that invests only in large- and mid-cap stocks.

Investments in Another Collective Investment Fund.  To the extent that Foreign Value Fund invests in another collective investment fund, such as a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF), its investment performance would be directly related to the investment performance of the other fund.  It also would bear its proportionate share of any management and other fees paid by the other fund, subjecting Foreign Value Fund shareholders to some duplication of fees.

Non-Diversification.  Foreign Value Fund is "non-diversified", which means that it may invest a higher percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers.  As a result, a decline in the value of the securities of one issuer could have a significant negative effect on Foreign Value Fund.

Sector. Foreign Value Fund may have significant investments in one or more specific industry sectors, subjecting it to risks greater than general market risk.

Securities Lending.  Securities lending involves two primary risks: investment risk and borrower default risk. Investment risk is the risk that Foreign Value Fund will lose money from the investment of the cash collateral received from the borrower. Borrower default risk is the risk that Foreign Value Fund will lose money due to the failure of a borrower to return a borrowed security in a timely manner.

Derivatives. Foreign Value Fund's investments in currency futures, options and other derivative instruments are subject to a number of risks, such as counterparty risk, the risk of mispricing or improper valuation, and the risk that the value of the instrument may not increase or decrease as expected.
