Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Young Investor Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Young Investor 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 Young Investor Fund’s operating expenses remain the same.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
The Young Investor 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 Young Investor 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 Young Investor Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Young Investor Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 41.9% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Young Investor Fund, which is open to all investors, employs a “core-plus” investment approach: the Fund invests approximately 50% of its assets in exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) and other funds that seek to track the S&P 500® Index (the “Index”) or other broad-based market indices that primarily include stocks of large capitalization U.S. companies. The balance of the Fund is directly invested in common stocks of companies of all market capitalization ranges and is diversified among industries and market sectors. However, the Adviser will primarily seek to invest in common stocks of large-cap companies (those with market capitalizations of at least $10 billion) that the Adviser considers to be high quality, well-known companies that produce products or provide services that are recognized by many investors.

In selecting individual stock investments, emphasis is placed on those companies that the Adviser believes to have above average long-term growth potential, a history of growth, a solid balance sheet, and an established and experienced management team. The Adviser also considers price direction, volume, and relative strength of the issuers of such investments, which the Adviser believes to be harbingers of pending fundamental changes that could lead to more/less institutional ownership. Depending on market conditions and such considerations, the Adviser may at times be very active in turning over the non-ETF portion of the Young Investor Fund’s portfolio. While the Adviser expects that the Fund’s assets will usually be invested approximately 50% in funds and 50% in direct investments, these percentages may vary significantly from time to time due to market conditions. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in foreign stocks primarily through American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”).

A bottom-up approach is used in selecting these investments by evaluating each company on the basis of its financial statements and operations. Factors such as a company’s industry leadership, competitive advantages, earnings growth, profit margins, sales trends, and dividends, as well as technical factors, are scrutinized as part of the Adviser’s analysis.

The combination of investing in a core index component and individual growth companies seeks to diversify the portfolio through the use of ETF investments while providing the Adviser with the opportunity to seek excess returns relative to the index in specific company investments.
Principal Risks
Although every effort is made to achieve the Young Investor Fund’s objective of long-term capital growth, the Adviser cannot guarantee that the objective will be attained. You could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund as a result of a steep, sudden and/or prolonged market decline. The principal risks include:

·
The Adviser’s investment strategy does not achieve the Young Investor Fund’s objective;
·
The stock market or stocks in the Fund’s portfolio may decline or not increase at the rate anticipated;
·
Growth-oriented funds may under-perform when growth stocks are out of favor;
·
The Fund may make short-term investments, without limitation, for defensive purposes, which investments may provide lower returns than other types of investments;
·
ETFs are subject to substantially the same risks as those of their underlying securities or other investments held by the ETF, and investments in ETFs will result in the Fund’s shareholders indirectly bearing a proportionate share of the ETFs’ operating expenses, in addition to the direct expenses of the Fund.
