Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Bond Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Bond 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 Bond 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 Bond 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 Bond 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 Bond Fund’s performance.  During the most recent fiscal year, the Bond Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 70% of the average value of its portfolio.


Principal Investment Strategies

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests  (at the time of investment) at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds which include corporate bonds and notes, government securities, taxable municipal obligations, securities backed by mortgages or other assets and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”).  The Fund expects that the dollar-weighted average maturity of its portfolio will be between 3 and 10 years.  At least 70% of total assets (at time of investment) must be invested in U.S. government securities or securities rated in the three highest investment grade categories by Moody’s (e.g., bonds rated “Aaa”, “Aa” or “A” by Moody’s) or S&P (e.g., bonds rated “AAA”, “AA” or “A” by S&P), or their equivalent.


The Fund may invest up to 25% of its assets (at time of investment) in straight-debt securities of foreign issuers payable in U.S. dollars.  It may also invest up to 5% in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF’s”) that track or replicate a desired index.


Principal Risks

Although every effort is made to achieve the Bond Fund’s objective of high current income with preservation of capital, the Adviser/Sub-Adviser cannot guarantee that the objective will be attained.  You could lose all or a portion of your investment in the fund if the securities purchased by the Fund default.  The principal risks include:

·

The Adviser’s investment strategy does not achieve the Bond Fund’s objective;

·

The declining value of the securities if interest rates rise;

·

There is credit risk associated with the securities that the fund invests in if an issuer is unable to make principal and interest payments when due;

·

The prepayment of the security by the issuer as a result of falling interest rates;

·

The Fund may make short-term investments, without limitation, for defensive purposes, which investments may provide lower returns than other types of investments.
