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 Class A or Class C 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, except that the contractual
limitation on Distribution (12b-1) Fees for Class A Shares is reflected only in
the one year period below. 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 23%
of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
The Fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of value-oriented domestic
equity securities of mid cap companies. The Fund defines a mid cap company as
one whose market capitalization at the time of purchase falls approximately
between $750 million and $20 billion. PNC Capital Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser")
generally seeks to invest in companies trading at a discount to intrinsic value
with a margin of safety, utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. Key
drivers include revenue growth, profit margin and asset turnover trends. The
Adviser generally seeks to sell a security when its market value equals or
exceeds what the Adviser believes is its intrinsic value. The Fund may also
invest in foreign stocks in keeping with the Fund's objective.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets plus
any borrowings for investment purposes in mid cap companies. The Fund will
provide shareholders with at least 60 days' written notice before changing this
80% policy.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk. Investments in securities of foreign
companies or governments can be more volatile than investments in U.S. companies
or governments. Diplomatic, political, or economic developments, including
nationalization or expropriation, could affect investments in foreign countries.
Foreign securities markets generally have less trading volume and less liquidity
than U.S. markets. In addition, the values of securities denominated in foreign
currencies, and of dividends from such securities, can change significantly when
foreign currencies strengthen or weaken relative to the U.S. dollar. Foreign
companies or governments generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing,
and financial reporting standards comparable to those applicable to domestic U.S.
companies or governments. Transaction costs are generally higher than those in the
U.S. and expenses for custodial arrangements of foreign securities may be somewhat
greater than typical expenses for custodial arrangements of similar U.S. securities.

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.

Mid Cap Company Risk. Mid capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to
adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies.
As a result, mid cap company stocks may be more volatile than those of larger
companies.

Value Investing Risk. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as
a whole and from other types of stocks. Value stocks also present the risk
that their lower valuations fairly reflect their business prospects and that
investors will not agree that the stocks represent favorable investment
opportunities, and they may fall out of favor with investors and underperform
growth stocks during any given period. In the event an issuer is liquidated or
declares bankruptcy, the claims of owners of the issuer's bonds and preferred
stock generally take precedence over the claims of those who own common stock.

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.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
The bar chart and the performance table below provide some indication of the
risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the
Fund's Class A Shares from year to year and by showing how the average annual
returns of the Fund's Class A and Class C Shares compare with those of a broad
measure of market performance. The bar chart shows changes in the performance of
the Fund's Class A Shares and does not reflect the deduction of any applicable
sales charges. If sales charges had been reflected, the returns for Class A
Shares would be less than those shown below. The returns in the table reflect
the deduction of applicable sales charges. The performance of Class C Shares
will differ due to differences in expenses. Prior to March 1, 2004, the Fund
invested in value-oriented common stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies.
Accordingly, performance information prior to March 1, 2004 reflects the results
of the previous investment strategy. As with all mutual funds, the Fund's past
performance (before and after taxes) does not predict the Fund's future
performance. Updated information on the Fund's performance can be obtained by

[1] After-tax returns are shown for Class A Shares only. After-tax returns for Class C Shares will differ. 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 an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In some cases, returns after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may be higher than returns before taxes because the calculations assume the investor received a tax deduction for any loss incurred on the sale of shares.
