[2] “Other Expenses” have been restated to reflect expenses estimated to be incurred for the Fund for the current fiscal year. Accordingly, the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown in the above table will differ from the Ratio of Net Expenses to Average Net Assets included in the “Financial Highlights” section of the Prospectus, which reflects the operating expenses of the Predecessor Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
[3] “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are indirect fees and expenses that the Fund incurs from investing in the shares of other mutual funds, including money market funds and exchange traded funds, and are estimated for the current fiscal year.
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, reinvest dividends and distributions, and then hold or 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 (taking into account the contractual expense limitation until is expiration). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example, with Redemption, 10 Years
Institutional Class 91 284 493 1,096
Investor Class 116 362 628 1,386
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 Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. Portfolio turnover may vary from year to year, as well as within a year. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund and Predecessor Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 113% of the average value of its portfolio.

Summary of Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund’s principal investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing equity securities that the Adviser believes are likely to appreciate. F/m Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”) will focus on companies that exhibit accelerating growth in earnings and revenue. The Adviser generally seeks to purchase equity securities of large capitalization U.S. companies, and may purchase American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”) of international companies trading on U.S. exchanges. The Fund may invest across different industries and sectors. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in securities of large capitalization companies. The Fund considers large capitalization companies to include those that have a market capitalization, at the time of investment, comparable to the securities held in the S&P 500® Index. As of August 31, 2023, the S&P 500® Index included U.S. companies with a median market capitalization of $30.97 billion. The market capitalization of the companies in the S&P 500 Index ranged from $424 million to $2.95 trillion as of August 31, 2023. At times, the Fund may emphasize investment in a particular industry or sector. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund had approximately 50.5% of its net assets invested in stocks within the technology sector.

 

The Adviser uses quantitative screens to evaluate liquidity, capitalization, domicile, and desired risk attributes to determine an initial universe of large capitalization companies from which the Fund may invest. The Adviser then uses a quantitative process to evaluate company fundamentals and stock price trends of the investment candidates. Macroeconomic influences on portfolio candidates are considered before selecting the final securities for purchase in the portfolio. The Adviser considers whether to sell a particular security when the security receives declining scores from the Adviser’s proprietary model or the security causes the Fund’s portfolio to be exposed to unintended risks.

 

The periodic reconstitution and rebalancing of the portfolio according to the Fund’s quantitative investment strategy may result in significant portfolio turnover. A higher rate of portfolio turnover increases transaction expenses, which may negatively affect the Fund’s performance. High portfolio turnover also may result in the realization of substantial net short-term capital gains, which, when distributed, are taxable to shareholders. With respect to any percentage restriction on investment or use of assets in the Fund’s investment strategies, if such a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time a transaction is affected, a later increase or decrease in such percentage resulting from changes in values of securities or loans or amounts of net assets or security characteristics will not be considered a violation of the restriction. Any such changes in percentages do not require the sale of a security, but rather the Adviser will consider which action is in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders, including the sale of the security.

 

The Fund is a “non-diversified” fund, which means it can invest in fewer securities at any one time than a diversified fund.

Summary of Principal Risks

Risk is inherent in all investing. The value of your investment in the Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly from day to day and over time. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. The Fund’s principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a “principal risk” of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. Different risks may be more significant at different times depending on market conditions or other factors.

 

Cyber Security Risk. Cyber security risk is the risk of an unauthorized breach and access to Fund assets, Fund or customer data (including private shareholder information), or proprietary information, or the risk of an incident occurring that causes the Fund, Adviser, custodian, transfer agent, distributor and other service providers and financial intermediaries to suffer data breaches, data corruption or lose operational functionality or prevent Fund investors from purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares or receiving distributions. The Fund and Adviser have limited ability to prevent or mitigate cyber security incidents affecting third-party service providers, and such third-party service providers may have limited indemnification obligations to the Fund or Adviser. Successful cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures or events affecting the Fund or its service providers may adversely impact and cause financial losses to the Fund or its shareholders. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests are also subject to cyber security risks, and the value of these securities could decline if the issuers experience cyber-attacks or other cyber-failures.

 

Depositary Receipts Risk - Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities they evidence or into which they may be converted. In addition to investment risks associated with the underlying issuer, depositary receipts expose the Fund to additional risks associated with the non-uniform terms that apply to depositary receipt programs, credit exposure to the depository bank and to the sponsors and other parties with whom the depository bank establishes the programs, currency risk and liquidity risk. The issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose information that is, in the United States, considered material. Therefore, there may be less information available regarding these issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the depositary receipts.

 

Equity Securities Risk - The price of equity securities fluctuates based on changes in a company’s activities and financial condition and in overall market conditions. Economic, political, and financial conditions, or industry or economic trends or developments, may for varying periods of time cause volatility, illiquidity, or other potentially adverse effects in the markets. The Fund’s investments in equity securities expose it to sudden and unpredictable drops in value and the potential for extended periods of lackluster performance.

 

Foreign Securities Risk - Foreign investments may be affected by changes in a foreign country’s exchange rates, political and social instability, changes in economic or taxation policies, difficulties enforcing obligations, decreased liquidity, and increased volatility. Foreign companies may be subject to less regulation resulting in less publicly available information about the companies.

 

Large Cap Security Risk - Larger capitalization companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technological developments and consumer tastes, have fewer opportunities to expand the market for their products or services, and may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.

 

Market Risk - Market risk refers to the risk that the value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio may decline due to daily fluctuations in the securities markets, including fluctuation in interest rates, national and international economic conditions, and general equity market conditions.

 

Economies and financial markets throughout the world have become interconnected which increases the possibility that economic, financial or political events in one sector or region could have potentially adverse effects on global economies or markets. For example, Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine, the responses and sanctions by other countries, and the potential for wider military conflicts or war, could continue to have adverse effects on regional and global economies, and may further strain global supply chains, and negatively affect global growth and inflation. Natural or environmental disasters or climate related events, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes and tsunamis, and widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and the markets. For example, the outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19, and efforts to contain its spread, have resulted, and may continue to result in labor shortages, supply chain disruptions, lower consumer demand for certain products and services, and significant disruptions to economies and markets, adversely affecting individual companies, sectors, industries, interest rates and investor sentiment. 

 

Management Style Risk - The Fund intends to invest in growth-oriented stocks and the Fund’s performance may at times be better or worse than that of similar funds with other focuses or that have a broader investment style. There is no guarantee that the Adviser’s investment techniques and risk analyses, including its reliance on quantitative models, will produce the intended results.

 

Sector Risk - Sector risk is the possibility that a certain sector may perform differently than other sectors or as the market as a whole. Although the Fund does not intend to concentrate its investments in any particular sector or sectors, the Fund may emphasize investments in one or more sectors, which may cause the Fund to have increased relative exposure to the price movements of those sectors. At times when the Fund emphasizes a particular sector, the value of its net assets will be more susceptible to the financial, market or economic events affecting that sector than would be the case for mutual funds that do not emphasize investment in a particular sector. This may increase the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price. As of June 30, 2023, the Fund had approximately 50.5% of its net assets invested in stocks within the technology sector. The values of securities of companies in the technology sector may be significantly affected adversely by competitive pressures, short product cycles, aggressive pricing and rapid obsolescence of existing technologies and products.

 

Portfolio Turnover Risk - The periodic reconstitution and rebalancing of the portfolio according to the Fund’s quantitative investment strategy may result in significant portfolio turnover. High portfolio turnover (e.g., an annual rate greater than 100% of the average value of the Fund’s portfolio) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund and may adversely affect the Fund’s performance. 

 

Risk of Non-Diversification - The Fund is a non-diversified portfolio, which means that it has the ability to take larger positions in a smaller number of securities than a portfolio that is “diversified.” Non-diversification increases the risk that the Fund’s share price could decrease to a larger extent than a Fund that is diversified because of the poor performance of a single investment. 

Fund Performance

The Fund was reorganized following the close of business on October 27, 2023, to acquire the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, in exchange for shares of the Fund. Accordingly, the Fund is the successor to the Predecessor Fund, and the following performance information shown prior to October 30, 2023, is that of the Predecessor Fund. The Fund has an investment objective, strategies and policies substantially similar to the Predecessor Fund, which was also advised by the Adviser.

 

The Predecessor Fund adopted the past performance of the F/m Investments Large Cap Focused Fund, a series of IDX Funds, (the “Original Fund”) as its own and the bar chart and performance tables include the performance of the Original Fund prior to January 18, 2022.

 

The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Predecessor Fund from year to year. The chart assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions. The bar chart shows the performance of the Institutional Class shares for each full calendar year over the lifetime of the Predecessor Fund. The performance table shows how the Predecessor Fund’s average annual total returns for one year, five years, and since inception periods compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.

 

The table below compares the average annual returns of the Predecessor Fund for the one year, five year, and since inception periods to a broad-based market index for the same periods. The performance of the Original Fund through April 2020 reflects its performance under the previous adviser. Performance of the Original Fund from April 2020 through January 18, 2022 reflects the performance of the Adviser. Performance information represents only past performance, before and after taxes, and does not necessarily indicate future results.

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. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than the other return figures for the same period, since a higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor. 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. After-tax returns are shown for Institutional Class Shares only, and the after-tax returns for Investor Shares will vary to the extent it has different expenses.
