(1)      DSM Capital Partners LLC (the “Advisor”) has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense in connection with investment activities, taxes, dividends on short positions and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement to 0.95% of the average daily net assets of the Institutional Class shares (the “Expense Cap”) through at least October 31, 2016. To the extent that the Advisor waives its fees and/or absorbs expenses to satisfy this Expense Cap, it may seek repayment of a portion or all of such amounts at any time within three fiscal years after the fiscal year in which such amounts were waived or absorbed, subject to the Expense Cap.
 

 

 

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 the Fund for the time periods indicated. 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 only in the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, under these assumptions, your costs would be:

 
1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
Institutional Class
$97
$313
$548
$1,220

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 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 above Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 80% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies
Permissible Securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large capitalization issuers. Equity securities include, but are not limited to, common stocks, preferred stocks, securities convertible into common stocks, rights and warrants. The Fund’s portfolio generally will contain 25-35 equity securities. The Advisor currently defines a “large capitalization issuer” as one that has a market capitalization of $10 billion or more at the time of purchase. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers that have market capitalizations below $10 billion at the time of purchase. In addition, the Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in equity securities of foreign issuers through, but not limited to, American Depositary Receipts or similar securities. In determining whether an issuer is foreign, the Advisor will consider various factors including where the issuer is headquartered, where the issuer’s principal operations are located, where the issuer’s revenues are derived, where the principal trading market is located and the country in which the issuer is legally organized. The weight given to each of these factors will vary depending upon the circumstances and as determined by the Advisor. 

The Fund is a non-diversified fund and may, from time to time, have significant exposure to one or more issuers, industries, geographic regions or sectors of the global economy. The Fund may invest greater than 25% of its assets in one or more of the following sectors: consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy, financials, health care, industrials, materials, technology and telecommunications services. As of June 30, 2015, over 25% of the Fund’s assets were invested in securities within the healthcare and information technology sectors.

Management Process. The Advisor manages the Fund using a bottom-up, “idea-driven,” growth-style with a long-term (i.e., three-year) investment horizon. This means in general terms that the Advisor identifies issuers which it believes exhibit certain quality characteristics. For instance, the Advisor selects issuers that it believes have growing businesses with solid fundamentals, attractive profitability, and successful managements. The Advisor generally sells an equity security when its projected future return becomes unattractive relative to the rest of the portfolio or the investable universe.

Principal Risks
There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of your money on your investment in the Fund. The Fund is subject to many of the risks common to mutual funds that invest in equity securities of domestic and foreign companies. You may lose money by investing in this Fund. In particular, the following risks could affect the value of your investment:

·  
China Risk. Investing in securities of Chinese companies involves special risks, including greater government control over the economy, political and legal uncertainty, currency fluctuations or exchange limitations, the risk that China’s government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs and the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets. Information about issuers in emerging markets, including China, may not be as complete, accurate or timely as information about listed companies in other more developed economies or markets.

 

 
 
·  
Equity Market Risk. Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.
·  
Foreign Securities Risk. The performance of foreign securities depends on the political and economic environments and other overall economic conditions in the countries where the Fund invests. Foreign securities markets may involve greater risk, less transparency, less information, exposure to foreign taxes and volatility than more developed markets. Some foreign countries may have fixed or managed currencies that are not free-floating against the U.S. dollar. Certain of these currencies have experienced, and may experience in the future, substantial fluctuations or a steady devaluation relative to the U.S. dollar.
·  
General Market Risk. The stock market declines or stocks in the Fund’s portfolio may not increase their earnings at the rate anticipated.
·  
Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth-oriented funds may underperform when value investing is in favor. In addition, growth securities typically trade at higher multiples of current earnings than other securities and, therefore, may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than other equity securities and may be more volatile.
·  
Health Care Sector Risk. The profitability of companies in the healthcare sector may be affected by extensive government regulation, restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure, an increased emphasis on outpatient services, limited number of products, industry innovation, changes in technologies and other market developments.
·  
Large Cap Company Risk. Large cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes, may be more prone to global economic risks, and also may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
·  
Management Risk. The Advisor’s investment strategy does not achieve the Fund’s objective or the Advisor does not implement the strategy properly.
·  
Non-Diversification Risk. A non-diversified fund may hold a significant percentage of its assets in the securities of fewer companies or even one company, and therefore events affecting those companies have a greater impact on the Fund than on a diversified fund.
·  
Portfolio Turnover Risk. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions and dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs. This may also result in adverse tax consequences for Fund shareholders.
·  
Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security.
·  
Sector-Focus Risk. Investing a significant portion of the Fund’s assets in one sector of the market exposes the Fund to greater market risk and potential monetary losses than if those assets were spread among various sectors.
·  
Technology Sector Risk. Information technology companies face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, which may have an adverse effect on profit margins. Like other technology companies, information technology companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. The products of information technology companies may face product obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for the services of qualified personnel. Technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology, especially those of smaller, less-seasoned companies, tend to be more volatile than the overall market.

Tax Information
The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
You may buy and sell shares of the Fund through certain financial intermediaries and their agents that have made arrangements with the Fund and are authorized to buy and sell shares of the Fund (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”). If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
