In addition, if at any point it becomes unnecessary for the Adviser to reduce fees or make expense reimbursements, the Adviser may retain the difference between the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (not including excluded expenses) and 1.30% to recover all or a portion of its prior fee reductions or expense reimbursements made during the preceding three-year period during which this agreement (or any prior agreement) was in place.

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 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 (including one year of capped expenses in each

period) remain the same.
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

total annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's

performance. During its most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover

rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.
PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in

securities of medium-sized companies. For purposes of this policy, a

medium-sized company is defined as having a market capitalization of less than

$15 billion at the time of purchase. The Fund seeks capital appreciation by

investing mainly in common stocks of medium-sized companies that the Adviser

believes have strong long-term fundamentals, superior capital appreciation

potential and attractive valuations. Through the consistent execution of a

fundamental bottom-up investment process, which includes an effort to

understand a company's intrinsic or fair value, the Adviser expects to identify

a diversified universe of medium-sized companies that trade at a discount to

their estimated or intrinsic fair values. As such, the Adviser seeks to

mitigate company-specific risk by limiting position sizes to 5% of the Fund's

total assets at market value, at the time of purchase. The Adviser will sell a

security when it reaches the Adviser's estimate of its fair value or when

information about a security invalidates the Adviser's basis for making the

investment. The Adviser may also sell securities in order to maintain the 5%

limit on position sizes or when exposure to a sector exceeds the Adviser's

sector weight rules. The Fund is broadly diversified and the Adviser seeks to

create value primarily through favorable stock selection.
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUND
As with all mutual funds, a shareholder is subject to the risk that his or her

investment could lose money. A FUND SHARE IS NOT A BANK DEPOSIT AND IS NOT

INSURED OR GUARANTEED BY THE FDIC, OR ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY. The principal risk

factors affecting shareholders' investments in the Fund are set forth below.



Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that

stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. Historically,

the equity markets have moved in cycles, and the value of the Fund's equity

securities may fluctuate drastically 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

suffer a decline in response. These factors contribute to price volatility,

which is the principal risk of investing in the Fund.



The Fund is also subject to the risk that medium-capitalization stocks may

underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity market as a

whole. The medium- and small-sized companies the Fund invests in may be more

vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established

companies. In particular, these medium- and small-sized companies may pose

additional risks, including liquidity risk, because these companies tend to

have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend

upon a relatively small management group.  Therefore, mid- and

small-capitalization stocks may be more volatile than those of larger

companies. These securities may be traded over-the-counter or listed on an

exchange.
