In addition, Clearwater Management Company, the Trust's investment adviser, has approved changes to the voluntary management fee waivers for Clearwater International Fund and Clearwater Small Cap Fund.

The election of members of the Board of Trustees is effective May 14, 2011. The new subadvisory agreement with Fiduciary Counselling, Inc., the amendment to the advisory agreement for the Clearwater Growth Fund to increase the management fee, and the changes to voluntary fee waivers are effective June 1, 2011.

Accordingly, the Prospectus is amended as follows.
