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

Portfolio Turnover
The Portfolio 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 Portfolio shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Portfolio’s performance. During the period December 6, 2010 (commencement of operations) through June 30, 2011, the Portfolio’s turnover was 128% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily (i.e. at least 80% of net assets) in a portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities issued by U.S. corporations. In the unlikely event that a change in this investment policy is adopted by the Board of Trustees, shareholders will receive at least 60 days prior written notice before such change is implemented. In general the portfolio will maintain aggregate characteristics similar to the Barclay’s Capital U.S. Corporate Index. Securities held by the Portfolio will be rated investment-grade or better by one of the established rating agencies or, if not rated by an agency, of comparable credit quality as determined by the Specialist Manager at the time of purchase. Securities held by the Portfolio which are downgraded below investment-grade by all ratings agencies may be retained up to a maximum market value of 5% of the Portfolio. Securities purchased for the Portfolio will have varying maturities, but under normal circumstances the Portfolio will have an effective dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of between nine and twelve years. The Portfolio may also invest up to 20% of its assets in municipal bonds (i.e., debt securities issued by municipalities and related entities).

The Portfolio is authorized to operate on a multi-manager basis. This means that a single Portfolio may be managed by more than one Specialist Manager. The multi-manager structure is generally designed to provide investors access to broadly diversified investment styles. The Trust seeks to engage skilled Specialist Managers to provide a broad exposure to the relevant asset class and returns in excess of the Portfolio’s benchmark over time.

Principal Investment Risks

Investing in the Portfolio involves risks common to any investment in securities. As is the case with any investment, your investment in the Portfolio involves the risk that you may lose money on your investment.

• Call/Prepayment Risk – When interest rates are declining, issuers of securities held by the Portfolio may prepay principal earlier than scheduled. As a result of this risk, the Portfolio may have to reinvest these prepayments at those lower rates, thus reducing its income. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are especially sensitive to prepayment.

• Credit Risk – An investment in the Portfolio also involves the risk that the issuer of a fixed income security that the Portfolio holds will fail to make timely payments of interest or principal, or go bankrupt, or that the value of the securities will decline because of a market perception that the issuer may not make payments on time, thus potentially reducing the Portfolio’s return. Changes in economic conditions are likely to cause issuers of these securities to be unable to meet their obligations. The lower the rating of a debt security, the higher its credit risk. In addition, the securities of many U.S. Government agencies, authorities or instrumentalities in which the Portfolio may invest are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and may be supported only by the ability of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the credit of the issuer.

• Interest Rate Risk – One of the primary risks associated with an investment in the Portfolio is the risk that the value of securities held in the Portfolio, including U.S. Government securities, will decline with changes in interest rates. Treasury inflation protected securities (“TIPS”) can also exhibit price movements as a result of changing inflation expectations and seasonal inflation patterns. Prices of fixed income securities with longer effective maturities are more sensitive to interest rate changes than those with shorter effective maturities. Accordingly, the yield of the Portfolio can be expected to be somewhat more volatile in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term investment vehicles. U.S. Government securities can exhibit price movements resulting from changes in interest rates.

• Liquidity Risk – At times, certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the price that would normally prevail in the market. The seller may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Portfolio management or performance. This includes the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous investments.

• Management Risk – The risk that investment strategies employed in the investment selection process may not result in an increase in the value of your investment or in overall performance equal to other investments.

• Market Risk – The value of the securities held by a Portfolio may decline in response to general market and economic conditions or conditions that affect specific market sectors or individual companies.

There is no guarantee that the Portfolio will meet its goals. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by investing primarily (i.e. at least primarily 80% of net assets) in a portfolio of publicly issued, investment grade mortgage and asset backed securities. In the unlikely event that a change in this investment policy is adopted by the Board of Trustees, shareholders will receive at least 60 days prior written notice before such change is implemented. In general the portfolio will maintain aggregate characteristics similar to the Barclays Capital U.S. Securitized Index. The Portfolio will seek to invest in U.S. dollar denominated agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities backed by loans secured by residential, multifamily and commercial properties including, but not limited to: pass throughs, collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”), stripped mortgage-backed securities (“SMBS”), project loans, construction loans, and adjustable rate mortgages. The Portfolio may also invest in U.S. Treasury and agency securities. Securities must be rated investment-grade or better by a nationally recognized credit rating agency at the time of purchase or, if not rated by an agency, of comparable credit quality as determined by the Specialist Manager at the time of purchase. The Portfolio may engage in transactions involving “derivative instruments” both in order to hedge against fluctuations in the market value of the securities in which the Portfolio invests and to achieve market exposure pending investment and, in the case of asset-backed and similar securities, for investment purposes. Securities purchased for the Portfolio will have varying maturities, but under normal circumstances the Portfolio will have an effective dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of between three and five years.

The Portfolio is authorized to operate on a multi-manager basis. This means that a single Portfolio may be managed by more than one Specialist Manager. The multi-manager structure is generally designed to provide investors access to broadly diversified investment styles. The Trust seeks to engage skilled Specialist Managers to provide a broad exposure to the relevant asset class and returns in excess of the Portfolio’s benchmark over time.

Changes in economic conditions are likely to cause issuers of these securities to be unable to meet their obligations. Credit risk is greater for lower quality or “junk bonds.” In addition, the securities of many U.S. Government agencies, authorities or instrumentalities in which the Portfolio may invest are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government, and may be supported only by the ability of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the credit of the issuer.
