The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay, directly or indirectly, to invest in the Fund. The annual fund operating expenses for the Fund are based on expenses incurred during the Fund's most recently completed fiscal year.

The following example is designed 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 the Fund for the time periods shown and then sell or continue to hold 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. The amounts shown reflect any fee waiver/expense reimbursement in place through its expiration date. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:8.20pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;">Portfolio Turnover:</span>
The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover will generally 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 period, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 34% of the average value of its portfolio.
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:13.12pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;">Principal Investment Strategy</span>
The Adviser pursues the Fund’s investment objectives by investing primarily in securities convertible into common stocks, such as convertible bonds, convertible notes, and convertible preferred stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities of foreign companies traded on U.S. exchanges, including American Depositary Receipts and Global Depositary Receipts (ADRs and GDRs).Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in investment grade securities convertible into common stock and synthetic convertible securities, which are derivative positions composed of two or more securities with investment characteristics that, when taken together, resemble those of traditional convertible securities.The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in below-investment-grade securities (sometimes referred to as “junk bonds”) if the Adviser believes that the positive qualities of the security justify the potential risk. These securities are rated Ba, B, Caa, or lower by Moody's and BB, B, CCC or lower by S&P. The Fund also may purchase unrated securities with similar characteristics.The Adviser employs a bottom-up research process by identifying convertible securities that possess strong underlying equity potential, high quality financial characteristics and the opportunity for solid total return over a 12-18 month time horizon. The Adviser may sell a security when the underlying equity valuation changes due to a price change or change in fundamentals of the company, the underlying fixed income component has deteriorated or the convertible characteristics have changed.As a result of the Adviser’s investment process, the Fund’s investments may be focused in one or more economic sectors from time to time, including the information technology sector.
<span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:13.12pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0%;">Principal Risks</span>
The Fund’s investments are subject to the following principal risks:Convertible Securities Risk — Convertible securities rank senior to the issuer's common stock, but may be subordinate to senior debt obligations. In part, the total return for a convertible security may depend upon the performance of the underlying stock into which it can be converted. Synthetic convertibles may respond differently to market fluctuations than traditional convertible securities. They are also subject to counterparty risk.Debt Securities Risk — The value of a debt security or other income-producing security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors (such as changes in interest rates or changes in the risk appetite of investors generally) and changes in the actual or perceived ability of the issuer (or of issuers generally) to meet its (or their) obligations. Other factors that may affect the value of debt securities, include, among others, public health crises and responses by governments and companies to such crises. These and other events may affect the creditworthiness of the issuer of a debt security and may impair an issuer's ability to timely meet its debt obligations as they come due.Interest Rate Risk —Interest rates may rise or the rate of inflation may increase, impacting the value of investments in fixed income securities. A debt issuer’s credit quality may be downgraded or an issuer may default. Interest rates may fluctuate due to changes in governmental fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives.Equity Risk — The value of the equity securities in which the Fund invests may decline in response to developments affecting individual companies and/or general economic conditions in the United States or abroad. A company’s earnings or dividends may not increase as expected (or may decline) because of poor management, competitive pressures, reliance on particular suppliers or geographical regions, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent disclosures, man-made or natural disasters, military confrontations or wars, terrorism, public health crises, or other events, conditions and factors. Price changes may be temporary or last for extended periods.High-Yield/Junk Bond Risk — Lower-quality debt securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher quality debt securities, and their values can decline significantly over short and longer periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about the issuer, or the market or economy in general.Liquidity Risk — Lack of a ready market or restrictions on resale may limit the ability of the Fund to dispose of certain holdings quickly or at prices that represent true market value in the judgement of the Adviser. In addition, the Fund, by itself or together with other accounts managed by the Adviser, may hold a position in a security that is large relative to the typical trading volume for that security, which can make it difficult for the Fund to dispose of the position at an advantageous time or price. Illiquid investments and relatively less liquid investments may also be difficult to value. Over recent years, the capacity of dealers to make markets in fixed income securities has been outpaced by the growth in the size of the fixed income markets. Liquidity risk may be magnified in a rising interest rate environment or when investor redemptions from fixed income funds may be higher than normal due to the increased supply in the market that would result from selling activity.Foreign Securities Risk — Foreign securities (including depositary receipts) are subject to political, regulatory, and economic risks not present in domestic investments. Foreign securities could be affected by factors not present in the U.S., including expropriation, confiscation of property, and difficulties in enforcing contracts. Compared to U.S. companies, there generally is less publicly available information about foreign companies and there may be less governmental regulation and supervision of foreign companies. Foreign securities generally experience more volatility than their domestic counterparts. In addition, to the extent investments are made in a limited number of countries, events in those countries will have a more significant impact on the Fund. Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies, currency exchange control regulations, and restrictions or prohibitions on the repatriation of foreign currencies may negatively affect an investment.Sector Risk — To the extent the Fund focuses in one or more sectors, such as the information technology sector, market or economic factors impacting those sectors could have a significant effect on the value of the Fund’s investments and could make the Fund’s performance more volatile.Information Technology Sector  Risk — The values of companies in the information technology sector are particularly vulnerable to economic downturns, short product cycles and aggressive pricing, market competition and changes in government regulation.Management Risk — The portfolio managers may not execute the Fund's principal investment strategy effectively.You may lose money by investing in the Fund. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.By itself, the Fund does not constitute a complete investment plan and should be considered a long-term investment for investors who can afford to weather changes in the value of their investment.

The bar chart and table that follow are intended to help you understand some of the risks of investing in the Fund.The information presented is for that of the Fund’s Class I shares (which are not offered by this prospectus). The bar chart shows you how the Fund’s calendar year performance has varied over the past 10 years (or the life of the Fund if shorter). The table compares the average annual total returns of the Fund’s Class I shares over the same period to a broad measure of market performance. We assume reinvestment of dividends and distributions.While no information is shown for the Member Class shares (because they do not yet have a full calendar year of performance), annual returns for Member Class shares would have been substantially similar to those shown here. Member Class shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities and the annual returns would differ only to the extent that the classes do not have the same expenses.

After-tax returns use the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the effect of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on your tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant if you own your Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. After-tax returns are shown for only one share class. The after-tax returns for other classes will vary.
