with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you
invest $10,000 in Class I Shares of 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. 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 year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14%
of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
As a matter of fundamental policy, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests
at least 80% of its net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes in
debt securities (bonds) issued by the State of Ohio, its political subdivisions
and their agencies and instrumentalities that generate income exempt from
federal income taxes (including the federal alternative minimum tax) and Ohio
personal income taxes. A vote of the Fund's shareholders is necessary to change
the Fund's fundamental policy. The Fund also invests in municipal securities
issued by or on behalf of territories and possessions of the United States, the
District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities
and authorities. Some Fund distributions may be taxable, such as dividends that
are derived from taxable investments and distributions of short and long-term
capital gains realized on the sale of portfolio securities. Also, Fund dividends
will generally be subject to state and local income taxes for any shareholders
who are not Ohio residents.

In selecting securities for the Fund to buy and sell, PNC Capital Advisors, LLC
(the "Adviser") considers each security's yield and total return potential
relative to other available municipal securities. The Fund invests primarily in
investment grade securities, which are those rated in one of the four highest
rating categories by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating
organization ("NRSRO"), or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of
comparable quality. If a security is downgraded, the Adviser will reevaluate the
holding to determine what action, including the sale of such security, is in the
best interests of investors. The Fund normally will maintain a dollar-weighted
average portfolio maturity of between three and ten years, but may vary outside
that range from time to time, including due to market conditions or if deemed
appropriate for temporary defensive purposes.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Credit/Counterparty Risk. The values of debt securities or other instruments may
be affected by the ability of issuers or the respective counterparties to make
principal and interest payments or otherwise meet their obligations to the Fund.
If an issuer cannot or will not meet its payment obligations or if its credit
rating is lowered or its financial strength deteriorates, the values of its debt
securities or other instruments may fall. Obligations issued by U.S. government
agencies, authorities, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises, such as the
Government National Mortgage Association, are backed by the full faith and
credit of the U.S. Treasury, while obligations issued by others, such as the
Federal National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation and Federal Home Loan Banks, are backed solely by the ability of the
entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the entity's own resources.
  
Interest Rate Risk. The value of a debt security typically changes in the
opposite direction from a change in interest rates. When interest rates go up,
the value of a debt security typically goes down. When interest rates go down,
the value of a debt security typically goes up. Generally, the longer the
maturity or duration of a debt security (or a portfolio of such securities), the
more the value of that security (or portfolio of securities) will change as a
result of changes in interest rates.

Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that securities prices will fall over short
or extended periods of time. Historically, the stock markets have moved in
cycles, and the value of the Fund's securities may fluctuate from day to day.
Individual companies may report poor results or be negatively affected by
industry and/or economic trends and developments. The prices of securities
issued by such companies may decline in response.

Municipal Obligations Risk. An investment in municipal obligations is subject
to municipal securities risk. Changes in the local or national economy, and
business or political conditions relating to a particular municipal project,
municipality, or state in which the Fund invests may make it difficult for the
municipality to make interest and principal payments when due and thus could
decrease the value of the Fund's investments in municipal bonds. Municipal
obligations also may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during
recessions or similar periods of economic stress, which could have an adverse
effect on the market prices of bonds and thus the value of the Fund's
investments. The municipal securities held by a Fund may fail to meet certain
legal requirements which allow interest distributed from such securities to be
tax-exempt, or changes in federal or state tax laws may cause the prices of
municipal securities to fall or could affect the tax-exempt status of municipal
securities. Municipal securities are also subject to liquidity risk.

Non-Diversification Risk. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that the Fund
may invest in the securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Fund
may be more susceptible than a diversified fund to a single adverse economic or
political and regulatory occurrence affecting one or more of these issuers, and
may experience increased volatility due to its investments in those securities.

Prepayment/Extension Risk. Certain debt obligations, such as callable bonds,
may be prepaid. Additionally, the loans collateralizing certain mortgage- and
asset-backed securities may be prepaid, affecting the value of the mortgage or
asset-backed securities to which they relate. The level of interest rates and
other factors affect the frequency of such prepayments. In periods of rising
interest rates, prepayment rates tend to decrease, which lengthens the average
life of callable bonds or mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The market
values of securities with longer average lives (longer maturities) tend to be
subject to greater interest rate risk and their values are more volatile as a
result. In periods of falling interest rates, prepayment rates tend to increase,
shortening the average life of a pool of mortgage-backed securities. This leads
to the risk that the Fund may lose any potential price appreciation above the
bond's call price and have to reinvest the proceeds from prepayments at lower
interest rates because prepayments often occur after interest rates have
decreased or when interest rates are falling.

Single State Risk. The Fund's focus on investments in securities of issuers
located in a single state leaves the Fund subject to the particular economic,
political and regulatory events relating to such securities to a greater extent
than if its assets were not so concentrated. Because the Fund invests primarily
in securities issued by Ohio and its municipalities, events in Ohio are likely
to affect the Fund's investments and its performance. As a result, the Fund is
more vulnerable to unfavorable developments in Ohio than are funds that invest
in municipal securities of multiple states.

Tax Risk. Distributions of capital gains and other taxable income will be
subject to applicable federal, state and local income taxes. Interest on certain
municipal securities that are exempt from federal income tax may, nonetheless,
be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Shareholders should consult with
their tax advisors when determining the taxable nature of any fund distributions
for federal, state or local tax purposes. An investment in the Fund may also
result in liability for federal alternative minimum tax, both for individual
and corporate shareholders.

All investments are subject to inherent risks, and an investment in the Fund
is no exception. Your investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not
insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Accordingly, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.
