(1)The Fund’s distributor may
advance to, or reimburse, the Fund 1.00% of the purchase price in connection
with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class C
shares. However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the respective Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”)
payable to the distributor on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after
their purchase. Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the
shares purchased are subject to this
CDSC.
(2)Acquired Fund Fees and
Expenses (“AFFE”) are indirect costs of investing in other investment companies.
The operating expenses in this fee table do not correlate to the expense ratio
in the Fund’s financial highlights because the financial statements include only
the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and not the indirect costs of
investing in other investment companies.
(3)Kensington Asset
Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management
fee and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(excluding AFFE, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid
on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and
distribution (12b‑1) fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.35% of the average net
assets of the applicable share class. Fees waived and expenses paid by the
Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of 36 months following the
month during which such fee waiver and expense payment was made if such
recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the
time the fee waiver and expense payment occurred and the expense limit in effect
at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is
indefinite in term and cannot be terminated through at least June 30,
2024. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time
upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or
the Adviser.
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 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 expense limitation in the first year only.
Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based upon 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 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 annual fund operating expenses
or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
1,244% of its average portfolio
value.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund is designed to provide the potential to generate stable, above average
returns, with a reduced risk of drawdown (i.e.,
the risk of a decline in investment value during a decline in the U.S. equity
markets). Kensington Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) seeks to achieve the
Fund’s investment objective by investing the Fund’s assets to gain exposure to
(i) higher-yielding, fixed income securities, or to (ii) cash, cash equivalents,
and U.S. Treasury securities, based on a proprietary “Managed Income Model” that
looks at trends and patterns in the high-yield fixed income market. The Managed
Income Model uses daily inputs related to the prices of certain U.S. high-yield
and long-term Treasury bond funds, U.S. equity market indices, and the number of
NYSE-listed companies whose prices have increased and decreased each day to
evaluate whether market conditions favor a “Risk-On” portfolio exposed to
high-yield securities or a “Risk-Off” portfolio exposed to cash, cash
equivalents, or U.S. Treasury securities. Specifically, the model uses the
following inputs:
•The
net asset values of certain U.S. high-yield bond funds
•Prices
of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds
•The
level of the NASDAQ Composite Index, a market capitalization weighted index of
approximately 3,000 common equities listed on the NASDAQ stock
exchange
•The
level of the Value Line Geometric Composite Index, an index of approximately
1,700 companies representing approximately 90% of the market capitalization of
all U.S.-listed stocks with returns weighted to account for compounding of
returns of time; and
•The
daily number of NYSE-listed companies with prices increasing or decreasing (the
Advance/Decline Line).
The
Managed Income Model looks for trends developing over multiple time periods
(e.g.,
weeks, months, years) to signal a change from Risk-On to Risk-Off or vice versa,
and the Adviser will generally turn over approximately 100% of the portfolio’s
exposures when the Managed Income Model signals a change. Depending on market
conditions, such turnover from Risk-On to Risk-Off or vice versa may take up to
several weeks, and the Fund may have significant portfolio turnover from year to
year. The Adviser generally expects such changes to occur infrequently (e.g.,
fewer than five times annually) based on historic trends in the high-yield fixed
income market. Generally, when the Adviser believes high-yield market conditions
are favorable, the Fund seeks exposure to longer maturity and lower quality
high-yield securities. When the Adviser believes high-yield market conditions
are somewhat less favorable (but still “Risk-On”), the Fund seeks exposure to
shorter maturity and better quality high-yield
securities.
In
its Risk-On position, the Fund will gain exposure to fixed-income securities
primarily by investing in one or more of the following investment types (1)
other mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“underlying funds”) that
invest in higher-yielding, income-producing securities, (2) individual bonds,
including high-yield bonds, (3) credit default swaps and credit default index
swaps, and options on such instruments, and/or (4) index futures and bond
futures. The types of investments used to gain the Fund’s exposures to
fixed-income securities (i.e.,
other mutual funds and ETFs, individual bonds, derivatives, etc.),
and the allocation to each, is determined by several factors related to each
investment type when the investment is made, including but not limited to,
capacity constraints, the expected duration of the trade, fees or commissions,
and the quality of beta (i.e.,
sensitivity to the securities markets) offered by the investment type. The use
of derivative instruments is just one option that the Fund may use and such use
is determined in the same manner as the other investments.
The
fixed-income securities to which the Fund may have exposure, either directly or
indirectly, include bills, notes, bonds, debentures, bank loans, loan
participations, syndicated loan assignments and other evidence of indebtedness
and are not restricted as to issuer credit quality, country, capitalization,
security maturity, currency, or leverage. The specific fixed-income securities
in which the Fund invests or has exposure to is determined by the Adviser’s
systematic investment approach, which takes into account several key elements,
including but not limited to, the evaluation of relative value and trends across
the spectrum of fixed-income opportunities, and the risks related to credit and
duration for those opportunities in the current market environment. In its
Risk-On position, a majority of the Fund’s portfolio is typically exposed to
high-yield securities, which are debt instruments rated lower than Baa3 by
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or lower than BBB- by Standard and
Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”), or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser, or
underlying fund’s adviser where applicable, to be of similar credit quality.
High-yield securities are also known as “junk bonds”. The Fund may have exposure
to junk bonds that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or reorganization. The
Fund may also take short positions from time to time to hedge or offset existing
long positions.
In
its Risk-Off position, the Fund will primarily hold cash or cash equivalents or
invest directly or indirectly in underlying funds that invest in U.S. Treasury
securities of various maturities. The Fund may also take short positions in the
Risk-Off position to offset existing long holdings from when the Fund was in the
Risk-On position.
In selecting underlying funds, the Adviser
considers the performance, relative fees, management experience, and underlying
portfolio composition and strategy of such underlying funds. The Fund is
non-diversified, which means it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a
limited number of securities. The Fund will typically limit its investment in a
single underlying fund to one percent of such underlying fund’s net assets,
although the percentage of such underlying fund owned by the Fund may change
over time as the value of such investment changes and the Fund’s overall
portfolio changes.
Principal Investment
Risks
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you
could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund
is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the
Fund’s net asset value and performance. The following risks apply to the Fund
directly and indirectly through the Fund’s investment in underlying
funds.
•Management
Risk: The
Adviser’s reliance on its proprietary trend-following model and the Adviser’s
judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation of
particular assets may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired
results.
•High-Yield
Bond Risk:
Lower-quality fixed income securities, known as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds,
present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk
of default. These securities are considered speculative. Defaulted securities or
those subject to a reorganization proceeding may become worthless and are
illiquid.
•Fixed-Income
Securities Risks: The
Fund may invest in or have exposure to fixed-income securities. Fixed-income
securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment
and extension risks. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the
value of fixed-income securities. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will
not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that
an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity
dates. Fixed-income securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential
for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater
potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading
opportunities for certain fixed-income securities may make it more difficult to
sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time. Changes in market
conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity in the fixed-income securities market, and could result in
an increase in redemptions. Interest rate changes and their impact on a fund and
its share price can be sudden and unpredictable.
◦Interest
Rate Risk.
In times of rising interest rates, bond prices will decline. Generally,
securities with longer maturities and funds with longer weighted average
maturities carry greater interest rate risk. The Fund may be exposed to
heightened interest rate risk as interest rates rise from historically low
levels.
◦Extension
Risk. In
times of rising interest rates, prepayments will slow causing portfolio
securities considered short or intermediate term to be long-term securities,
which fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than
shorter term securities.
◦Liquidity
Risk. There
may be no willing buyer of a fund’s portfolio securities and such fund may have
to sell those securities at a lower price or may not be able to sell the
securities at all, each of which would have a negative effect on
performance.
◦Prepayment
Risk. In
times of declining interest rates, a fund’s higher yielding securities may be
prepaid and such fund may have to replace them with securities having a lower
yield.
◦Duration
Risk.
The Fund can invest in securities of any maturity or duration. Holding long
duration and long maturity investments will magnify certain risks, including
interest rate risk and credit risk.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign
investments may be riskier than U.S. investments for many reasons, such as
changes in currency exchange rates and unstable political, social, and economic
conditions.
•Loans
Risk:
The market for loans, including bank loans, loan participations, and syndicated
loan assignments may not be highly liquid, and the holder may have difficulty
selling them. These investments expose the Fund to the credit risk of both the
financial institution and the underlying borrower. Bank loans settle on a
delayed basis, which can be greater than seven days, potentially leading to the
sale proceeds of such loans not being available for a substantial period of time
after the sale of the bank loans.
•Market
Risk: Overall
investment market risks affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as economic
growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect
U.S. and international investment markets. Additionally, unexpected local,
regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political
or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread
of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global
pandemic coronavirus disease 2020 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions
could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair
market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely
affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that
cannot necessarily be foreseen.
•Underlying
Funds Risk:
Investments in underlying funds involve duplication of investment advisory fees
and certain other expenses. Each underlying fund is subject to specific risks,
depending on the nature of its investment strategy. The manager of an underlying
fund may not be successful in implementing its strategy. ETF shares may trade at
a market price that may be lower (a discount) or higher (a premium) than the
ETF’s net asset value. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and/or other trading
costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. Because the value of
ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to
liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting
performance.
•Derivatives
Risk: In
general, a derivative instrument typically involves leverage, i.e.,
it provides exposure to potential gain or loss from a change in the level of the
market price of the underlying security (or a basket or index) in a notional
amount that exceeds the amount of cash or assets required to establish or
maintain the derivative instrument. Adverse changes in the value or level of the
underlying asset or index, which the Fund may not directly own, can result in a
loss to the Fund substantially greater than the amount invested in the
derivative itself. The use of derivative instruments also exposes the Fund to
additional risks and transaction costs. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives
is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the
overall securities markets.
◦Futures
Contract Risk:
The successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Adviser’s skill and
experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk
considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts,
which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and total return, are (a) the
imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held
by the Fund and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a
futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Adviser’s inability to
predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency
exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the
counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the
Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to
meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
◦Credit
Default Swap Agreements Risk: The
Fund may enter into credit default index swap agreements or credit default swap
agreements as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. Credit default index
swap agreements and credit default swap agreements involve special risks because
they may be difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit
risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in
the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as
opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial
difficulty).
◦Options
Risk: An
option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the option
holder (the purchaser) the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”)
or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount
based on an underlying asset, rate, or index) at a specified price (the
“exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in
options are considered speculative. When the Fund purchases an option, it may
lose the premium paid for it if the price of the underlying security or other
assets decreased or remained the same (in the case of a call option) or
increased or remained the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call
option purchased by the Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or
exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Fund.
•Short
Sale Risk: The
Fund may take a short position in a derivative instrument, such as a futures
contract. A short position on a derivative instrument involves the risk of a
theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument which
could cause the Fund to suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss. Short sales also
involve transaction and financing costs that will reduce potential Fund gains
and increase potential Fund losses.
•Leverage
Risk: As
part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments
in derivative instruments. These derivative instruments provide the economic
effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the
underlying asset, as well as the potential for greater loss. If the Fund uses
leverage through activities such as entering into derivative instruments, the
Fund has the risk that losses may exceed the net assets of the Fund. The net
asset value of the Fund while employing leverage will be more volatile and
sensitive to market movements.
•Non-Diversification
Risk: As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more
issuers. The Fund also invests in underlying funds that are non-diversified. The
Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business,
political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified
investment company.
•Turnover
Risk: A
higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage
costs. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be significantly above 100%
annually.
•U.S.
Government Securities Risk: The
Fund may invest directly or indirectly in obligations issued by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. government. The U.S. government may choose not to
provide financial support to U.S. government sponsored agencies or
instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case, if the
issuer defaulted, the Fund might not be able to recover its investment.
•LIBOR
Risk: Changes
related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or similar
interbank offered rates (“IBORs,” such as the Euro Overnight Index Average
(EONIA)) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference
LIBOR or a similar rate. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where
LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative
rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions and
the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain. The abandonment of LIBOR
and similar rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that
reference such rates, especially those that do not have fallback provisions. The
use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy
performance.
•Models
and Data Risk: The Fund’s investment exposure is
heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and
data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove
to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead
to securities being included in or excluded from the Fund’s portfolio that would
have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and
complete. Some of the models used by the Fund are predictive in nature. The use
of predictive models has inherent risks. For example, such models may
incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to potential losses. In addition,
in unforeseen or certain low-probability scenarios (often involving a market
disruption of some kind), such models may produce unexpected results, which can
result in losses for the Fund.
Performance:
Performance shown below for
periods prior to the close of business on June 24, 2022 is for the Kensington
Managed Income Fund (the “Managed Income Predecessor Fund”), formerly a series
of Advisors Preferred Trust which commenced operations on May 31, 2019. The Fund
has adopted the performance of the Managed Income Predecessor Fund as a result
of a reorganization in which the Fund acquired all the assets and liabilities of
the Managed Income Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”). The Reorganization
occurred as of the close of business on June 24, 2022. Prior to the
Reorganization, the Fund was a “shell” Fund with no assets and had not commenced
operations. The Fund’s portfolio management team served as the portfolio
management team of the Managed Income Predecessor Fund and has been the Fund’s
portfolio management team since inception.
The bar chart
and performance table below show the variability of the Fund’s returns, which is
some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar
chart shows performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares for each full
calendar year since the Fund’s inception. The performance table compares the
performance of each of the Fund’s share classes over time to the performance of
a broad-based market index and a supplemental index. You should be aware that the
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) may not be an indication of how
the Fund will perform in the future. Class A and Class C shares
have similar annual returns to Institutional Class shares because the classes
are invested in the same portfolio of securities. However, the returns for Class
A and Class C shares are lower than Institutional Class shares because Class A
and Class C shares have higher expenses and Class A shares are subject to a load
and Class C shares are subject to a deferred sales charge. Shareholder reports
containing financial and performance information for the Fund will be made
available to shareholders semi-annually. Updated performance information and
daily NAV per share is available at no cost by calling toll-free 866-303-8623.

The
Fund or Adviser may waive any investment minimum. You may purchase and redeem
shares of the Fund on any day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open.
Redemption requests may be made in writing, by telephone, or through a financial
intermediary and will be paid by ACH, check or wire transfer. Purchase and
redemption requests must be received by the Fund (or an authorized broker or
agent, or its authorized designee) before the close of regular trading on the
NYSE (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) to assure ample time to transmit to the
Fund prior to NAV pricing.
Tax
Information: Dividends
and capital gain distributions you receive from the Fund, whether you reinvest
your distributions in additional Fund shares or receive them in cash, are
taxable to you at either ordinary income or capital gains tax rates unless you
are investing through a tax-deferred plan such as an IRA or 401(k) Plan.
However, these dividend and capital gain distributions may be taxable upon their
eventual withdrawal from tax-deferred plans.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries: If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary
for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a
conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

(1)The Fund’s distributor may
advance to, or reimburse, the Fund 1.00% of the purchase price in connection
with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class C
shares. However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the respective Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”)
payable to the distributor on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after
their purchase. Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the
shares purchased are subject to this
CDSC.
(2)Acquired Fund Fees
and Expenses (“AFFE”) are indirect costs of investing in other investment
companies. The operating expenses in this fee table do not correlate to the
expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights because the financial
statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund and
not the indirect costs of investing in other investment
companies.
(3)Kensington Asset
Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management
fee and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(excluding AFFE, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid
on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and
distribution (12b‑1) fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.38% of the average net
assets of the applicable share class. Fees waived and expenses paid by the
Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of 36 months following the
month during which such fee waiver and expense payment was made if such
recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the
time the fee waiver and expense payment occurred and the expense limit in effect
at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is
indefinite in term and cannot be terminated through at least June 30,
2024. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time
upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or
the Adviser.
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 remain the same, taking
into account the expense limitation in the first year only.
Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based upon 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 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 annual fund operating expenses
or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
1,127% of its average portfolio
value.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund is designed to provide equity-like returns, but with the potential to
reduce volatility and drawdown (i.e.,
the risk of a decline in investment value during a decline in the U.S. equity
markets) that comes with passive investment in equities. Kensington Asset
Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective
by investing the Fund’s assets to gain exposure to (i) domestic equity
securities or (ii) cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury securities based on
a proprietary “Dynamic Growth Model” that looks at trends in the U.S. equity
market. The Dynamic Growth Model uses daily price information with respect to
multiple broad-based U.S. equity indices (e.g., open, close, high, and low
prices) to identify and evaluate market trends and volatility to determine
whether market conditions favor a “Risk-On” portfolio exposed to U.S. equity
securities or a “Risk-Off” portfolio exposed to cash, cash equivalents, or U.S.
Treasury securities. The Dynamic Growth Model looks for trends developing over
multiple time periods (e.g., weeks, months, or years) to signal a change from
Risk-On to Risk-Off or vice versa, and the Adviser will generally turn over
approximately 100% of the portfolio’s exposures when the Dynamic Growth Model
signals a change. Depending on market conditions, such turnover from Risk-On to
Risk-Off or vice versa may take up to several days to a week, and the Fund may
have significant portfolio turnover from year to year. The Adviser generally
expects such changes to occur approximately eight to twelve times annually based
on historic trends in the U.S. equity market.
In
its Risk-On position, the Fund will gain exposure to equity securities primarily
by investing in one or more of the following investment types (1)
exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (“underlying funds”) that track the returns of a
broad-based U.S. equity market index, (2) individual equity securities, and/or
(3) equity index futures. The types of investments used to gain the Fund’s
exposures to equity securities (i.e.,
other mutual funds and ETFs, individual equity securities, futures, etc.),
and the allocation to each, is determined by several factors related to each
investment type when the investment is made, including but not limited to,
capacity constraints, the expected duration of the trade, fees or commissions,
and the quality of beta (i.e.,
sensitivity to the securities markets) offered by the investment type. The use
of futures contracts is just one option that the Fund may use and such use is
determined in the same manner as the other investments.
The
Fund’s equity exposure may include companies of any market capitalization, and
equity indices to which the Fund gains exposure may be based on certain factors,
such as value- or growth-oriented companies. The specific equity securities in
which the Fund invests or has exposure to is determined by the Adviser’s
systematic investment approach, which takes into account several key elements,
including but not limited to, the evaluation of relative value and prevailing
trends between value and growth equities, along with the current and anticipated
market environment. The Fund may also take short positions from time to time to
hedge or offset existing long positions. In its Risk-Off position, the Fund will
primarily hold cash or cash equivalents or invest directly or indirectly in
underlying funds that invest in U.S. Treasury securities of various maturities.
The Fund may also take short positions in the Risk-Off position to offset
existing long holdings from when the Fund was in the Risk-On
position.
The
Dynamic Growth Model is built upon a core of trend-following logic that
generates signals on a weekly basis. To avoid generating false signals directing
a change to or from a Risk-On or Risk-Off state, the model also employs
noise-filtering enhancements to dampen the distorting impact of short-term price
aberrations that are characteristic of volatile markets. This noise filter
operates by causing the model to disregard relatively large short-term changes
in inputs that are not indicative of a longer-term trend. For example, the model
considers short-term data that is not supported by longer-term trends as
indicative of “noise”. The model also seeks to mitigate such noise by being run
on a weekly, rather than daily basis. Additionally, the model employs certain
counter-trend indicators that seek to identify when the equity market is
overbought or oversold independent of whether the model anticipates a favorable
or unfavorable equity market. For example, if the model determines that market
conditions are favorable for equities, but equities are overbought, the model
would signal a “Risk-Off” position. To the contrary, if the model determines
that market conditions are not favorable for equities, but equities are
oversold, the model would signal a “Risk-On” position.
In
selecting underlying funds, the Adviser considers the performance, relative
fees, management experience, and underlying portfolio composition and strategy
of such underlying funds. The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest
a high percentage of its assets in a limited number of
securities.
Principal Investment
Risks
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you
could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund
is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the
Fund’s Net Asset Value and performance. The following risks apply to the Fund
directly and indirectly through the Fund’s investment in underlying
funds.
•Management
Risk:
The Adviser’s reliance on its proprietary trend-following model and the
Adviser’s judgments about the attractiveness, value, and potential appreciation
of particular assets may prove to be incorrect and may not produce the desired
results.
•Equity
Securities Risk: The
Fund may invest in or have exposure to equity securities. Equity securities may
experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in
value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets
generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors, geographic markets,
or companies in which the Fund invests.
•Market
Risk: Overall
investment market risks affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as economic
growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect
U.S. and international investment markets. Additionally, unexpected local,
regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political
or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread
of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global
pandemic coronavirus disease 2020 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions
could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair
market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely
affect the economies of nations, regions, and the market in general, in ways
that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
•Underlying
Funds Risk:
Investments in underlying funds involve duplication of investment advisory fees
and certain other expenses. Each underlying fund is subject to specific risks,
depending on the nature of its investment strategy. The manager of an underlying
fund may not be successful in implementing its strategy. ETF shares may trade at
a market price that may be lower (a discount) or higher (a premium) than the
ETF’s net asset value. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and/or other trading
costs, which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. Because the value of
ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to
liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting
performance.
•Derivatives
Risk: In
general, a derivative instrument typically involves leverage, i.e.,
it provides exposure to potential gain or loss from a change in the level of the
market price of the underlying security (or a basket or index) in a notional
amount that exceeds the amount of cash or assets required to establish or
maintain the derivative instrument. Adverse changes in the value or level of the
underlying asset or index, which the Fund may not directly own, can result in a
loss to the Fund substantially greater than the amount invested in the
derivative itself. The use of derivative instruments also exposes the Fund to
additional risks and transaction costs. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives
is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the
overall securities markets.
◦Futures
Contract Risk: The
successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Adviser’s skill and
experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk
considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts,
which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and total return, are (a) the
imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held
by the Fund and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a
futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Adviser’s inability to
predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency
exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the
counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the
Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to
meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
•Short
Sale Risk: The
Fund may take a short position in a derivative instrument, such as a futures
contract. A short position on a derivative instrument involves the risk of a
theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument which
could cause the Fund to suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss. Short sales also
involve transaction and financing costs that will reduce potential Fund gains
and increase potential Fund losses.
•Leverage
Risk: As
part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments
in derivative instruments. These derivative instruments provide the economic
effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the
underlying asset, as well as the potential for greater loss. If the Fund uses
leverage through activities such as entering into derivative instruments, the
Fund has the risk that losses may exceed the net assets of the Fund. The net
asset value of the Fund while employing leverage will be more volatile and
sensitive to market movements.
•Non-Diversification
Risk:
As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more
issuers. The Fund also invests in underlying funds that are non-diversified. The
Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business,
political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified
investment company.
•Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Investing
in or having exposure to the securities of small-capitalization and
mid-capitalization companies involves greater risks and the possibility of
greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and
more-established companies. Investments in mid-cap companies involve less risk
than investing in small-cap companies. Smaller companies may have limited
operating history, product lines, and financial resources, and the securities of
these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity. Mid-cap companies often
have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than
larger, more established companies.
•Turnover
Risk: A
higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage
costs. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be significantly above 100%
annually.
•U.S.
Government Securities Risk:
The Fund may invest directly or indirectly in obligations issued by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. government. The U.S. government may choose not to
provide financial support to U.S. government sponsored agencies or
instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case, if the
issuer defaulted, the Fund might not be able to recover its investment. Like
other fixed income instruments, U.S. government securities are subject to
interest rate risk. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the
value of bonds. Recently, interest rates have been historically low. Current
conditions may result in a rise in interest rates, which in turn may result in a
decline in the value of the fixed income investments held by the Fund. As a
result, interest rate risk may be heightened.
•Models
and Data Risk: The Fund’s investment exposure is heavily
dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and data
supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove to be
incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead to
securities being included in or excluded from the Fund’s portfolio that would
have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and
complete. Some of the models used by the Fund are predictive in nature. The use
of predictive models has inherent risks. For example, such models may
incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to potential losses. In addition,
in unforeseen or certain low-probability scenarios (often involving a market
disruption of some kind), such models may produce unexpected results, which can
result in losses for the Fund.
Performance:
Performance shown below for
periods prior to the close of business on June 24, 2022 is for the Kensington
Dynamic Growth Fund (the “Dynamic Growth Predecessor Fund”), formerly a series
of Advisors Preferred Trust which commenced operations on October 23, 2020. The
Fund has adopted the performance of the Dynamic Growth Predecessor Fund as a
result of a reorganization in which the Fund acquired all the assets and
liabilities of the Dynamic Growth Predecessor Fund (the “Reorganization”). The
Reorganization occurred as of the close of business on June 24, 2022. Prior to
the Reorganization, the Fund was a “shell” Fund with no assets and had not
commenced operations. The Fund’s portfolio management team served as the
portfolio management team of the Dynamic Growth Predecessor Fund and has been
the Fund’s portfolio management team since inception.
The bar chart
and performance table below show the variability of the Fund’s returns, which is
some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar
chart shows performance of the Fund’s Institutional Class shares for each full
calendar year since the Fund’s inception. The performance table compares the
performance of each of the Fund’s share classes over time to the performance of
a broad-based market index, and a supplemental index. You should be aware that the
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) may not be an indication of how
the Fund will perform in the future. Class A and Class C shares
have similar annual returns to Institutional Class shares because the classes
are invested in the same portfolio of securities, however, the returns for Class
A and Class C shares are lower than Institutional Class shares because Class A
and Class C shares have higher expenses and Class A shares are subject to a load
. Shareholder reports containing financial and performance information for the
Fund will be made available to shareholders semi-annually. Updated performance

(1)The Fund’s distributor may
advance to, or reimburse, the Fund 1.00% of the purchase price in connection
with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of Class C
shares. However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the respective Class
C shares are subject to a 1.00% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”)
payable to the distributor on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after
their purchase. Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the
shares purchased are subject to this
CDSC.
(2)Acquired Fund Fees
and Expenses (“AFFE”) are indirect costs of investing in other investment
companies. The operating expenses in this fee table will not correlate to the
expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights, when issued, because the
financial statements include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the
Fund and does not include the indirect costs of investing in other investment
companies.
(3)Kensington Asset
Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management
fee and pay Fund expenses to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(excluding AFFE, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, dividends paid
on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and
distribution (12b‑1) fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.35% of the average net
assets of the applicable share class. Fees waived and expenses paid by the
Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of 36 months following the
month during which such fee waiver and expense payment was made if such
recoupment can be achieved without exceeding the expense limit in effect at the
time the fee waiver and expense payment occurred and the expense limit in effect
at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expense Limitation Agreement is
indefinite in term and cannot be terminated through at least June 30,
2024. Thereafter, the agreement may be terminated at any time
upon 60 days’ written notice by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) or
the Adviser.
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 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 expense limitation in the first year only.
Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based upon 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 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 annual fund operating expenses
or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal
period ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was
1,515% of its average portfolio
value.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund is designed to provide the potential to participate in rising markets, but
with a reduced risk of drawdown in declining markets (i.e.,
the risk of a decline in investment value during a decline in the U.S. equity
markets). The Adviser seeks to achieve the Fund’s investment objective by
utilizing a proprietary trend-following process which seeks to benefit from
longer-term trends in equity and fixed income markets. As part of this process,
the Fund will gain exposure to these markets when the opportunity is deemed
beneficial or invest in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury securities
when opportunities are deemed unfavorable. The size of the positions taken will
relate to various factors, including the Adviser’s systematic assessment of a
trend and its likelihood of continuing, as well as the Adviser’s estimate of the
market’s risk. The Adviser generally expects that the Fund will have exposure in
both equities and fixed income securities, but at any one time the Fund may
emphasize one asset class or invest solely in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S.
Treasuries when both equity and fixed income markets are deemed to be
unfavorable.
The
Adviser’s process is primarily centered around trend-following analysis, which
evaluates multiple inputs to recognize and measure consistent and repeating
behavioral patterns in the financial markets. The Adviser will evaluate daily
inputs related to the prices of certain U.S. high-yield and long-term Treasury
bond funds, U.S. equity market indices, and the number of NYSE-listed companies
whose prices have increased and decreased each day to recommend allocations
across asset classes. This process is intended to identify strength or weakness
in particular asset classes based upon a convergence of factors which will help
inform the Fund’s overall asset allocation. The Fund may have significant
portfolio turnover from year to year.
The
Adviser generally expects that the Fund’s portfolio will allocate roughly 50–70%
of its exposure to equity securities and 30–50% of its exposure to fixed income
instruments. Generally, when the Adviser determines that market conditions are
favorable, the Adviser will increase exposure in equities and lower quality,
higher-yielding fixed income securities. When the Adviser determines that market
conditions are less favorable, the Adviser will increase exposure to
better-quality fixed income securities and cash equivalents (e.g., money market
instruments). As a result, at times the Fund may invest substantially all of its
assets in cash, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasury securities, and at times the
Fund may predominantly be exposed to equity securities.
The
Fund primarily seeks to achieve its equity exposure by investing in one or more
of the following investment types (1) other mutual funds and exchange-traded
funds (“ETFs”) (“underlying funds”) that track the returns of a broad-based U.S.
equity market index, (2) individual equity securities, and/or (3) equity index
futures. The types of investments used to gain the Fund’s exposures to equity
securities (i.e.,
other mutual funds and ETFs, individual equity securities, futures, etc.),
and the allocation to each, is determined by several factors related to each
investment type when the investment is made, including but not limited to,
capacity constraints, the expected duration of the trade, fees or commissions,
and the quality of beta (i.e.,
sensitivity to the securities markets) offered by the investment type. The use
of futures contracts is just one option that the Fund may use and such use is
determined in the same manner as the other investments. The Fund’s equity
exposure may include companies of any market capitalization, and equity indices
to which the Fund gains exposure may be based on certain factors, such as value-
or growth-oriented companies. The specific equity securities in which the Fund
invests or has exposure to is determined by the Adviser’s systematic investment
approach, which takes into account several key elements, including but not
limited to, the evaluation of relative value and prevailing trends between value
and growth equities, along with the current and anticipated market environment.
The Fund may also take short positions from time to time to hedge or offset
existing long positions.
The
Fund primarily seeks to achieve its fixed-income exposure by investing in one or
more of the following investment types (1) underlying funds that invest in
higher-yielding, income-producing securities, (2) individual bonds, including
high-yield bonds, (3) credit default swaps and credit default index swaps, and
options on such instruments, and/or (4) index futures and bond futures. The
types of investments used to gain the Fund’s exposures to fixed-income
securities (i.e.,
other mutual funds and ETFs, individual bonds, derivatives, etc.),
and the allocation to each, is determined by several factors related to each
investment type when the investment is made, including but not limited to,
capacity constraints, the expected duration of the trade, fees or commissions,
and the quality of beta (i.e.,
sensitivity to the securities markets) offered by the investment type. The use
of derivative instruments is just one option that the Fund may use and such use
is determined in the same manner as the other investments.
The fixed-income securities to
which the Fund may have exposure, either directly or indirectly, include bills,
notes, bonds, debentures, bank loans, loan participations, syndicated loan
assignments and other evidence of indebtedness and are not restricted as to
issuer credit quality, country, capitalization, security maturity, currency, or
leverage. The specific fixed-income securities in which the Fund invests or has
exposure to is determined by the Adviser’s systematic investment approach, which
takes into account several key elements, including but not limited to, the
evaluation of relative value and trends across the spectrum of fixed-income
opportunities, and the risks related to credit and duration for those
opportunities in the current market environment. The Fund’s portfolio will be
exposed to high-yield securities, which are debt instruments rated lower than
Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or lower than BBB- by
Standard and Poor’s Rating Group (“S&P”), or, if unrated, determined by the
Adviser, or underlying fund’s adviser where applicable, to be of similar credit
quality. High-yield securities are also known as “junk bonds”. The Fund may have
exposure to junk bonds that are in default, subject to bankruptcy or
reorganization. The Fund may also take short positions from time to time to
hedge or offset existing long positions.
In selecting underlying funds, the Adviser
considers the performance, relative fees, management experience, and underlying
portfolio composition and strategy of such underlying funds. The Fund is
non-diversified, which means it may invest a high percentage of its assets in a
limited number of securities. The Fund will typically limit its investment in a
single underlying fund to one percent of such underlying fund’s net assets,
although the percentage of such underlying fund owned by the Fund may change
over time as the value of such investment changes and the Fund’s overall
portfolio changes.
Principal Investment
Risks
As with all mutual funds, there is the risk that you
could lose money through your investment in the Fund. The Fund
is not intended to be a complete investment program. Many factors affect the
Fund’s Net Asset Value and performance. The following risks apply to the Fund
directly and indirectly through the Fund’s investment in underlying
funds.
•Management
Risk: The
Adviser’s strategies and judgments about the attractiveness, value, and
potential appreciation of particular assets may prove to be incorrect and may
not produce the desired results.
•Equity
Securities Risk:
The Fund may invest in or have exposure to equity securities. Equity securities
may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline
in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets
generally or factors affecting specific industries, sectors, geographic markets,
or companies in which the Fund invests.
•Fixed-Income
Securities Risks: The
Fund may invest in or have exposure to fixed-income securities. Fixed-income
securities are or may be subject to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment
and extension risks. Interest rates may go up resulting in a decrease in the
value of fixed-income securities. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer will
not make timely payments of principal and interest. There is also the risk that
an issuer may “call,” or repay, its high yielding bonds before their maturity
dates. Fixed-income securities subject to prepayment can offer less potential
for gains during a declining interest rate environment and similar or greater
potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Limited trading
opportunities for certain fixed-income securities may make it more difficult to
sell or buy a security at a favorable price or time. Changes in market
conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility
and reduced liquidity in the fixed-income securities market, and could result in
an increase in redemptions. Interest rate changes and their impact on a fund and
its share price can be sudden and unpredictable.
◦Interest
Rate Risk.
In times of rising interest rates, bond prices will decline. Generally,
securities with longer maturities and funds with longer weighted average
maturities carry greater interest rate risk. The Fund may be exposed to
heightened interest rate risk as interest rates rise from historically low
levels.
◦Extension
Risk. In
times of rising interest rates, prepayments will slow causing portfolio
securities considered short or intermediate term to be long-term securities,
which fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than
shorter term securities.
◦Liquidity
Risk. There
may be no willing buyer of a fund’s portfolio securities and such fund may have
to sell those securities at a lower price or may not be able to sell the
securities at all, each of which would have a negative effect on
performance.
◦Prepayment
Risk. In
times of declining interest rates, a fund’s higher yielding securities may be
prepaid and such fund may have to replace them with securities having a lower
yield.
◦Duration
Risk.
The Fund can invest in securities of any maturity or duration. Holding long
duration and long maturity investments will magnify certain risks, including
interest rate risk and credit risk.
•High-Yield
Bond Risk:
Lower-quality fixed income securities, known as “high-yield” or “junk” bonds,
present greater risk than bonds of higher quality, including an increased risk
of default. These securities are considered speculative. Defaulted securities or
those subject to a reorganization proceeding may become worthless and are
illiquid.
•Foreign
Investment Risk:
Foreign investments may be riskier than U.S. investments for many reasons, such
as changes in currency exchange rates and unstable political, social, and
economic conditions.
•Loans
Risk: The
market for loans, including bank loans, loan participations, and syndicated loan
assignments may not be highly liquid, and the holder may have difficulty selling
them. These investments expose the Fund to the credit risk of both the financial
institution and the underlying borrower. Bank loans settle on a delayed basis,
which can be greater than seven days, potentially leading to the sale proceeds
of such loans not being available for a substantial period of time after the
sale of the bank loans.
•Market
Risk: Overall
investment market risks affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as economic
growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect
U.S. and international investment markets. Additionally, unexpected local,
regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial, political
or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters; the spread
of infectious illnesses or other public health issues (such as the global
pandemic coronavirus disease 2020 (COVID-19)); and recessions and depressions
could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair
market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can adversely
affect the economies of nations, regions and the market in general, in ways that
cannot necessarily be foreseen.
•Underlying
Funds Risk: Investments
in underlying funds involve duplication of investment advisory fees and certain
other expenses. Each underlying fund is subject to specific risks, depending on
the nature of its investment strategy. The manager of an underlying fund may not
be successful in implementing its strategy. ETF shares may trade at a market
price that may be lower (a discount) or higher (a premium) than the ETF’s net
asset value. ETFs are also subject to brokerage and/or other trading costs,
which could result in greater expenses to the Fund. Because the value of ETF
shares depends on the demand in the market, the Adviser may not be able to
liquidate the Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time, adversely affecting
performance.
•Derivatives
Risk: In
general, a derivative instrument typically involves leverage, i.e.,
it provides exposure to potential gain or loss from a change in the level of the
market price of the underlying security (or a basket or index) in a notional
amount that exceeds the amount of cash or assets required to establish or
maintain the derivative instrument. Adverse changes in the value or level of the
underlying asset or index, which the Fund may not directly own, can result in a
loss to the Fund substantially greater than the amount invested in the
derivative itself. The use of derivative instruments also exposes the Fund to
additional risks and transaction costs. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives
is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the
overall securities markets.
◦Futures
Contract Risk:
The successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Adviser’s skill and
experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk
considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts,
which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and total return, are (a) the
imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held
by the Fund and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a
futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Adviser’s inability to
predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency
exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the
counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the
Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to
meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
◦Credit
Default Swap Agreements Risk:
The Fund may enter into credit default index swap agreements or credit default
swap agreements as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. Credit default
index swap agreements and credit default swap agreements involve special risks
because they may be difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and
credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium
only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying
obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial
difficulty).
◦Options
Risk: An
option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the option
holder (the purchaser) the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”)
or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount
based on an underlying asset, rate, or index) at a specified price (the
“exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in
options are considered speculative. When the Fund purchases an option, it may
lose the premium paid for it if the price of the underlying security or other
assets decreased or remained the same (in the case of a call option) or
increased or remained the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call
option purchased by the Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or
exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Fund.
•Short
Sale Risk: The
Fund may take a short position in a derivative instrument, such as a futures
contract. A short position on a derivative instrument involves the risk of a
theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument which
could cause the Fund to suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss. Short sales also
involve transaction and financing costs that will reduce potential Fund gains
and increase potential Fund losses.
•Leverage
Risk:
As part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make
investments in derivative instruments. These derivative instruments provide the
economic effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure
to the underlying asset, as well as the potential for greater loss. If the Fund
uses leverage through activities such as entering into derivative instruments,
the Fund has the risk that losses may exceed the net assets of the Fund. The net
asset value of the Fund while employing leverage will be more volatile and
sensitive to market movements.
•Limited
History of Operations Risk: The
Fund has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. The Fund may
fail to attract sufficient assets to operate efficiently.
•Non-Diversification
Risk:
As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may
invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of one or more
issuers. The Fund also invests in underlying funds that are non-diversified. The
Fund’s performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business,
political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified
investment company.
•Small-
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Investing
in or having exposure to the securities of small-capitalization and
mid-capitalization companies involves greater risks and the possibility of
greater price volatility than investing in larger capitalization and
more-established companies. Investments in mid-cap companies involve less risk
than investing in small-cap companies. Smaller companies may have limited
operating history, product lines, and financial resources, and the securities of
these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity. Mid-cap companies often
have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial resources than
larger, more established companies.
•Turnover
Risk: A
higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage
costs. The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may be significantly above 100%
annually.
•U.S.
Government Securities Risk: The
Fund may invest directly or indirectly in obligations issued by agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. government. The U.S. government may choose not to
provide financial support to U.S. government sponsored agencies or
instrumentalities if it is not legally obligated to do so, in which case, if the
issuer defaulted, the Fund might not be able to recover its
investment.
•LIBOR
Risk: Changes
related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or similar
interbank offered rates (“IBORs,” such as the Euro Overnight Index Average
(EONIA)) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference
LIBOR or a similar rate. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where
LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative
rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions and
the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain. The abandonment of LIBOR
and similar rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that
reference such rates, especially those that do not have fallback provisions. The
use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy
performance.
•Models
and Data Risk: The Fund’s investment exposure is
heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative models as well as information and
data supplied by third parties (“Models and Data”). When Models and Data prove
to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions made in reliance thereon may lead
to securities being included in or excluded from the Fund’s portfolio that would
have been excluded or included had the Models and Data been correct and
complete. Some of the models used by the Fund are predictive in nature. The use
of predictive models has inherent risks. For example, such models may
incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to potential losses. In addition,
in unforeseen or certain low-probability scenarios (often involving a market
disruption of some kind), such models may produce unexpected results, which can
result in losses for the Fund.
Performance:
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Fund
does not have a full calendar year of performance as a mutual
fund. When the Fund has been in operation for a full calendar
year, performance information will be shown here. You should be aware that the
Fund’s past performance (before and after taxes) may not be an indication of how
the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance

However, these dividend and capital gain distributions may be taxable upon their
eventual withdrawal from tax-deferred plans.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries: If
you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary
for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a
conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and
your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your
salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

The
core of the Adviser’s investment philosophy is centered around downside
protection by tactically shifting market exposures based on proprietary models
that employ trend following principles in order to identify and act upon
prevailing market trends. The Managed Income Fund is designed to provide the
potential to generate stable, above average returns, with a reduced risk of
drawdown. The Dynamic Growth Fund is designed to provide the potential to
participate in rising markets, but with a reduced risk of drawdown in declining
markets. The Active Advantage Fund is designed to provide the potential to
participate in risking markets, but with a reduced risk of drawdown in declining
markets.
Investments
in Other Investment Companies
Section
12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)
restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other
investment companies, including Underlying ETFs. In October 2020, the SEC
adopted regulatory changes related to the ability of an investment company to
invest in other investment companies in excess of specified statutory limits.
These changes include, among other things, amendments to Rule 12d1-1, the
rescission of Rule 12d1-2, the adoption of new Rule 12d1-4, and the rescission
of certain exemptive relief issued by the SEC permitting certain fund of funds
arrangements. Rule 12d1-4, which became effective on January 19, 2021, permits
each Fund to invest in other investment companies, including money market funds,
beyond the statutory limits, subject to certain conditions. The rescission of
the applicable exemptive orders and the withdrawal of the applicable no-action
letters was effective on January 19, 2022. Following this effectiveness, an
investment company is no longer able to rely on these exemptive orders and
no-action letters, and is subject instead to Rule 12d1-4 and other applicable
rules under Section 12(d)(1).
Derivatives
The
Funds may invest in certain derivative instruments, such as futures, options and
swaps, as set forth in each Fund’s Principal Investment Strategies. In October
2020, the SEC adopted Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act, with a compliance date of
August 19, 2022. Funds that are subject to the rule are required to adopt and
implement a written derivatives risk management program and quantitatively limit
their use of derivatives based on the estimated potential risk of loss that the
funds incur from their derivatives transactions. Funds that limit derivatives
exposure to 10% of net assets are exempt from many of the requirements of Rule
18f-4, but must still adopt and implement policies and procedures reasonably
designed to manage the fund’s derivatives risks. Rule 18f-4 governs the way
funds must comply with the asset segregation and coverage requirements of
Section 18 of the 1940 Act with respect to derivatives and certain other
financing transactions. Each Fund will comply with Rule 18f-4 as
applicable.
Principal
Investment Risks
There
is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. Each Fund’s
share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of its portfolio
investments. When you sell your Fund shares, they may be worth less than what
you paid for them and, accordingly, you can lose money investing in a Fund.
Risks could adversely affect the NAV, total return, and the value of a Fund and
your investment. The risk descriptions below provide a more detailed explanation
of the principal investment risks that correspond to the risks described in the
“Fund Summary” section of this Prospectus. The table below provides additional
information regarding the risks of investing in the Funds. The following risks
apply to the Funds’ investments in securities directly or through underlying
funds, as described above. Following the table, each risk is explained.

•Management
Risk: The
Adviser’s reliance on proprietary models or judgments about the attractiveness,
value, and potential appreciation or depreciation of a particular security or
instrument in which a Fund invests may prove to be inaccurate and may not
produce the desired results.
•High-Yield
Bond Risk: High-yield
fixed-income securities or “junk bonds” are fixed-income securities rated below
investment grade. Although junk bonds generally pay higher rates of interest
than higher-rated securities, they are subject to a greater risk of loss of
income and principal. Junk bonds are subject to greater credit risk than
higher-grade securities and have a higher risk of default. Companies issuing
high-yield junk bonds are more likely to experience financial difficulties that
may lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than
issuers of higher grade securities. Issuers of junk bonds are often highly
leveraged or undergoing restructuring and are more vulnerable to changes in the
economy, such as a recession or rising interest rates, which may affect their
ability to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. As a result,
junk bonds generally are more sensitive to credit risk and are considered more
speculative than securities in the higher-rated categories. The risk of loss due
to default by an issuer of these securities is significantly greater than
issuers of higher-rated securities because such securities are generally
unsecured and are often subordinated to other creditors. The secondary market
for securities that are junk bonds may be less liquid than the markets for
higher quality securities, and, as such, may have an adverse effect on the
market prices of certain securities.
•Fixed-Income
Securities Risks.
The Fund may invest in or have exposure to fixed-income securities. Fixed-income
securities held by a Fund are or may be subject to interest rate risk, call
risk, prepayment and extension risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk, which are
more fully described below. Changes in market conditions and government policies
may lead to periods of heightened volatility and reduced liquidity in the
fixed-income securities market, and could result in an increase in Fund
redemptions. Interest rate changes and their impact on a Fund and its share
price can be sudden and unpredictable.
◦Call
Risk.
During periods of declining interest rates, a bond issuer may “call,” or repay,
its high yielding bonds before their maturity dates. In this event a fund would
then be forced to invest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates,
resulting in a decline in its income.
◦Credit
Risk.
Fixed-income securities are generally subject to the risk that the issuer may be
unable or unwilling to make principal and interest payments when they are due.
There is also the risk that the securities could lose value because of a loss of
confidence in the ability of the borrower to pay back debt. Lower rated
fixed-income securities involve greater credit risk, including the possibility
of default or bankruptcy.
◦Interest
Rate Risk.
Fixed-income securities are subject to the risk that the securities could lose
value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds tend to decrease in
value if interest rates rise. Fixed-income securities with longer maturities
sometimes offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price shifts as a
result of interest rate changes than fixed-income securities with shorter
maturities. The historically low interest rate environment increases the risk
associated with rising interest rates. A Fund may be exposed to heightened
interest rate risk as interest rates rise from historically low
levels.
◦Prepayment
and Extension Risk.
Many types of fixed-income securities are subject to prepayment risk. Prepayment
occurs when the issuer of a fixed-income security can repay principal faster
than expected prior to the security’s maturity. Fixed-income securities subject
to prepayment risk can offer less potential for gains during a declining
interest rate environment and similar or greater potential for loss in a rising
interest rate environment. In addition, the potential impact of prepayment
features on the price of a fixed-income security can be difficult to predict and
result in greater volatility. On the other hand, rising interest rates could
cause prepayments of the obligations to decrease. This is known as extension
risk and may increase a fund’s sensitivity to rising rates and its potential for
price declines.
◦Liquidity
Risk. Trading
opportunities are more limited for fixed-income securities that have not
received any credit ratings, have received ratings below investment grade or are
not widely held. These features may make it more difficult to sell or buy a
security at a favorable price or time. Consequently, a fund may have to accept a
lower price to sell a security, sell other securities to raise cash or give up
an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on its
performance. Infrequent trading of securities may also lead to an increase in
their price volatility. Liquidity risk also refers to the possibility that a
fund may not be able to sell a security or close out a position in a timely
manner. If this happens, a fund may be required to hold the security or keep the
position open, and it could incur losses.
•Equity
Securities Risk: The
Fund may invest in or have exposure to equity securities. Equity securities can
be affected by macroeconomic and other factors affecting the stock market in
general, expectations about changes in interest rates, investor sentiment
towards equities, changes in a particular issuer’s or industry’s financial
condition, or unfavorable or unanticipated poor performance of a particular
issuer or industry. Prices of equity securities of individual entities also can
be affected by fundamentals unique to the company or partnership, including
earnings power and coverage ratios. An adverse event, such as an unfavorable
earnings report, may depress the value of a particular common stock held by a
fund. In addition, prices of common stocks are sensitive to general movements in
the stock market and a drop in the stock market may depress the price of common
stocks. Common stock prices may fluctuate for several reasons including changes
in investors’ perceptions of the financial condition of an issuer or the general
condition of the relevant stock market, or the occurrence of political or
economic events that affect the issuers. In addition, common stock prices may be
particularly sensitive to rising interest rates, which increases borrowing costs
and the costs of capital. Any of the foregoing risks could substantially impact
the ability of such an entity to grow its dividends or
distributions.
•Foreign
Investment Risk: Foreign
investments may be riskier than U.S. investments for many reasons, including
changes in currency exchange rates; unstable political, social and economic
conditions; possible security illiquidity; a lack of adequate or accurate
company information; differences in the way securities markets operate; less
secure foreign banks or securities depositories than those in the United States;
less standardization of accounting standards and market regulations in certain
foreign countries; and varying foreign controls on investments. These risks are
more pronounced in emerging market countries.
•Limited
History of Operations Risk: The
Fund has a limited history of operations for investors to evaluate. Investors in
the Fund bear the risk that the Fund may not be successful in implementing its
investment strategies, may be unable to implement certain of its investment
strategies or may fail to attract sufficient assets, any of which could result
in the Fund being liquidated and terminated at any time without shareholder
approval and at a time that may not be favorable for all shareholders. Such a
liquidation could have negative tax consequences for shareholders and will cause
shareholders to incur expenses of liquidation.
•Loans
Risk:
Investments in bank loans, loan participations, syndicated loan assignments also
known as loans or corporate loans, of which senior loans are a type, may subject
a fund to heightened credit risks because such loans tend to be highly leveraged
and potentially more susceptible to the risks of interest deferral, default
and/or bankruptcy. These investments expose a fund to the credit risk of both
the financial institution and the underlying borrower. The risks associated with
these loans can be similar to the risks of other below investment grade fixed
income instruments. An economic downturn would generally lead to a higher
non-payment rate, and a loan may lose significant market value before a default
occurs. Moreover, any specific collateral, if any, used to secure a loan may
decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s
value. Unlike the securities markets, there is no central clearinghouse for loan
trades, and the loan market has not established enforceable settlement standards
or remedies for failure to settle. Therefore, transactions in loans may have
uncertain settlement time periods. Investments in bank loans may not be
securities and therefore may not have the protections afforded by the federal
securities laws.
•Market
Risk:
The net asset value (“NAV”) and investment return of a Fund will fluctuate based
on factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels,
and political events that effect the United States and international investment
markets. The market value of a security may move up or down, sometimes rapidly
and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less than
the price originally paid for it, or less than it was worth at an earlier time.
Market risk may affect a single issuer, industry, sector of the economy or the
market as a whole. U.S. and international markets have experienced, and may
continue to experience, volatility, which may increase risks associated with an
investment in a Fund. Certain social, political, economic, environmental, and
other conditions and events (such as natural disasters and weather-related
phenomena generally, epidemics and pandemics, terrorism, conflicts, and social
unrest) may adversely interrupt the global economy and result in prolonged
periods of significant market volatility. The market value of securities in
which a Fund invests is based upon the market’s perception of value and is not
necessarily an objective measure of the securities’ value. In some cases, for
example, the stock prices of individual companies have been negatively impacted
even though there may be little or no apparent degradation in the financial
condition or prospects of the issuers. Similarly, the debt markets have
experienced substantially lower valuations, reduced liquidity, price volatility,
credit downgrades, increased likelihood of default, and valuation difficulties.
As a result of this significant volatility, many of the following risks
associated with an investment in a Fund may be increased. Continuing market
volatility may have adverse effects on a Fund.
Unexpected
local, regional or global events, such as war; acts of terrorism; financial,
political or social disruptions; natural, environmental or man-made disasters;
the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues; and recessions
and depressions could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments
and may impair market liquidity. Such events can cause investor fear, which can
adversely affect the economies of nations, regions, and the market in general,
in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. An outbreak of infectious
respiratory illness known as COVID-19, which is caused by a novel coronavirus
(SARS-CoV-2), was first detected in China in December 2019 and subsequently
spread globally. This coronavirus has resulted in, among other things, travel
restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports
of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service
preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, significant disruptions to
business operations, market closures, cancellations and restrictions, supply
chain disruptions, lower consumer demand, and significant volatility and
declines in global financial markets, as well as general concern and
uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19 has adversely affected, and other infectious
illness outbreaks that may arise in the future could adversely affect, the
economies of many nations and the entire global economy, individual issuers and
capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. Public health
crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing
political, social, and economic risks in certain countries or globally.
•Underlying
Funds Risk: Underlying
funds are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which
will be indirectly paid by a Fund. As a result, your cost of investing in a Fund
will be higher than the cost of investing directly in underlying funds and may
be higher than other mutual funds that invest directly in stocks and bonds. Each
underlying fund is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of its
investment strategy. These risks could include liquidity risk and sector risk.
ETFs are listed on national stock exchanges and are traded like stocks listed on
an exchange. ETF shares may trade at a discount or a premium in market price if
there is a limited market in such shares. ETFs are also subject to brokerage
and/or other trading costs, which could result in greater expenses to a Fund.
Because the value of ETF shares depends on the demand in the market, the adviser
may not be able to liquidate a Fund’s holdings at the most optimal time,
adversely affecting performance. It is also possible that an active secondary
market for an ETF’s shares may not develop and market trading in the shares of
the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances. The lack of liquidity in a
particular ETF could result in it being more volatile than the ETF’s underlying
portfolio of securities. Additional risks of investing in ETFs are described
below:
◦Net
Asset Value and Market Price Risk:
The market value of ETF shares may differ from their NAV. This difference in
price may be due to the fact that the supply and demand in the market for ETF
shares at any point in time is not always identical to the supply and demand in
the market for the underlying holdings. Accordingly, there may be times when an
ETF share trades at a premium or discount to its NAV.
◦Tracking
Risk:
ETFs in which the Fund invests will not be able to replicate exactly the
performance of any indices or prices they track because the total return
generated by the securities will be reduced by transaction costs incurred in
adjusting the actual balance of the securities or derivatives. Certain
securities comprising an index may, from time to time, temporarily be
unavailable, which may further impede the security’s ability to track an
index.
•Derivatives
Risk: In
general, a derivative instrument typically involves leverage, i.e.,
it provides exposure to potential gain or loss from a change in the level of the
market price of the underlying security (or a basket or index) in a notional
amount that exceeds the amount of cash or assets required to establish or
maintain the derivative instrument. Adverse changes in the value or level of the
underlying asset or index, which the Fund may not directly own, can result in a
loss to the Fund substantially greater than the amount invested in the
derivative itself. The use of derivative instruments also exposes the Fund to
additional risks and transaction costs. A risk of the Fund’s use of derivatives
is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the
overall securities markets.
▪Futures
Contract Risk:
The successful use of futures contracts draws upon the Adviser’s skill and
experience with respect to such instruments and is subject to special risk
considerations. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts,
which may adversely affect the Fund’s NAV and total return, are (a) the
imperfect correlation between the change in market value of the instruments held
by the Fund and the price of the futures contract; (b) possible lack of a liquid
secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a
futures contract when desired; (c) losses caused by unanticipated market
movements, which are potentially unlimited; (d) the Adviser’s inability to
predict correctly the direction of securities prices, interest rates, currency
exchange rates and other economic factors; (e) the possibility that the
counterparty will default in the performance of its obligations; and (f) if the
Fund has insufficient cash, it may have to sell securities from its portfolio to
meet daily variation margin requirements, and the Fund may have to sell
securities at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so.
▪Credit
Default Swap Agreements Risk:
The Fund may enter into credit default index swap agreements or credit default
swap agreements as a “buyer” or “seller” of credit protection. Credit default
index swap agreements and credit default swap agreements involve special risks
because they may be difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and
credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium
only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying
obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial
difficulty).
▪Options
Risk:
An option is an agreement that, for a premium payment or fee, gives the option
holder (the purchaser) the right but not the obligation to buy (a “call option”)
or sell (a “put option”) the underlying asset (or settle for cash an amount
based on an underlying asset, rate, or index) at a specified price (the
“exercise price”) during a period of time or on a specified date. Investments in
options are considered speculative. When the Fund purchases an option, it may
lose the premium paid for it if the price of the underlying security or other
assets decreased or remained the same (in the case of a call option) or
increased or remained the same (in the case of a put option). If a put or call
option purchased by the Fund were permitted to expire without being sold or
exercised, its premium would represent a loss to the Fund.
•Short
Sale Risk: The
Fund may take a short position in a derivative instrument, such as a futures
contract. A short position on a derivative instrument involves the risk of a
theoretically unlimited increase in the value of the underlying instrument which
could cause the Fund to suffer a (potentially unlimited) loss. Short sales also
involve transaction and financing costs that will reduce potential Fund gains
and increase potential Fund losses.
•Leverage
Risk: As
part of the Fund’s principal investment strategy, the Fund will make investments
in derivative instruments. These derivative instruments provide the economic
effect of financial leverage by creating additional investment exposure to the
underlying asset, as well as the potential for greater loss. If the Fund uses
leverage through activities such as entering into derivative instruments, the
Fund has the risk that losses may exceed the net assets of the Fund. The net
asset value of the Fund while employing leverage will be more volatile and
sensitive to market movements.
•Non-Diversification
Risk:
As non-diversified funds, each Fund may invest more than 5% of its total assets
in the securities of one or more issuers, including in underlying funds that are
non-diversified. Because a relatively high percentage of the assets of a Fund
may be invested in the securities of a limited number of issuers, the value of
shares of a Fund may be more sensitive to any single economic, business,
political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified
investment company. This fluctuation, if significant, may affect the performance
of a Fund.
•Small
and Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Investing
in or having exposure to the securities of small-capitalization (less than $2
billion) and mid-capitalization ($2 to $7 billion) companies involves greater
risks and the possibility of greater price volatility than investing in larger
capitalization and more-established companies. Investments in mid-cap companies
involve less risk than investing in small-cap companies. Smaller companies may
have limited operating history, product lines, and financial resources, and the
securities of these companies may lack sufficient market liquidity. Mid-cap
companies often have narrower markets and more limited managerial and financial
resources than larger, more established companies.
•Turnover
Risk:
A higher portfolio turnover may result in higher transactional and brokerage
costs associated with the turnover which may reduce a Fund’s return unless the
securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs.
Each Fund’s turnover rate may be significantly above 100% annually.
•U.S.
Government Securities Risk:
Each Fund may invest in U.S. government securities. Securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities include
U.S. Treasury securities, which are backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. Treasury and which differ only in their interest rates, maturities, and
times of issuance. U.S. Treasury bills have initial maturities of one-year or
less; U.S. Treasury notes have initial maturities of one to ten years; and U.S.
Treasury bonds generally have initial maturities of greater than ten years.
Certain U.S. government securities are issued or guaranteed by agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. government including, but not limited to,
obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities such as the Federal
National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), the Government National Mortgage
Association (“Ginnie Mae”), the Small Business Administration, the Federal Farm
Credit Administration, the Federal Home Loan Banks, Banks for Cooperatives
(including the Central Bank for Cooperatives), the Federal Land Banks, the
Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the
Export-Import Bank of the United States, the Commodity Credit Corporation, the
Federal Financing Bank, the Student Loan Marketing Association, the National
Credit Union Administration and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation
(“Farmer Mac”).
Some
obligations issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies and
instrumentalities, including, for example, Ginnie Mae pass-through certificates,
are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury. Other
obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those
securities issued by Fannie Mae, are supported by the discretionary authority of
the U.S. government to purchase certain obligations of the federal agency, while
other obligations issued by or guaranteed by federal agencies, such as those of
the Federal Home Loan Banks, are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow
from the U.S. Treasury, while the U.S. government provides financial support to
such U.S. government-sponsored federal agencies, no assurance can be given that
the U.S. government will always do so, since the U.S. government is not so
obligated by law. U.S. Treasury notes and bonds typically pay coupon interest
semi-annually and repay the principal at maturity.
On
September 7, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced a federal takeover of Fannie Mae
and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), placing the two
federal instrumentalities in conservatorship. Under the takeover, the U.S.
Treasury agreed to acquire $1 billion of senior preferred stock of each
instrumentality and obtained warrants for the purchase of common stock of each
instrumentality (the “Senior Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement” or
“Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the U.S. Treasury pledged to provide up to
$200 billion per instrumentality as needed, including the contribution of cash
capital to the instrumentalities in the event their liabilities exceed their
assets. This was intended to ensure that the instrumentalities maintain a
positive net worth and meet their financial obligations, preventing mandatory
triggering of receivership. On December 24, 2009, the U.S. Treasury
announced that it was amending the Agreement to allow the $200 billion cap on
the U.S. Treasury’s funding commitment to increase as necessary to accommodate
any cumulative reduction in net worth over the next three years. As a result of
this Agreement, the investments of holders, including the Funds, of
mortgage-backed securities and other obligations issued by Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac are protected.
The
total public debt of the United States as a percentage of gross domestic product
has grown rapidly since the beginning of the 2008–2009 financial downturn.
Although high debt levels do not necessarily indicate or cause economic
problems, they may create certain systemic risks if sound debt management
practices are not implemented. A high national debt can raise concerns that the
U.S. government will not be able to make principal or interest payments when
they are due. This increase has also necessitated the need for the U.S. Congress
to negotiate adjustments to the statutory debt limit to increase the cap on the
amount the U.S. government is permitted to borrow to meet its existing
obligations and finance current budget deficits. In August 2011, S&P lowered
its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. In explaining the downgrade at
that time, S&P cited, among other reasons, controversy over raising the
statutory debt limit and growth in public spending. An increase in national debt
levels may also necessitate the need for the U.S. Congress to negotiate
adjustments to the statutory debt ceiling to increase the cap on the amount the
U.S. Government is permitted to borrow to meet its existing obligations and
finance current budget deficits. Future downgrades could increase volatility in
domestic and foreign financial markets, result in higher interest rates, lower
prices of U.S. Treasury securities and increase the costs of different kinds of
debt. Any controversy or ongoing uncertainty regarding the statutory debt
ceiling negotiations may impact the U.S. long-term sovereign credit rating and
may cause market uncertainty. As a result, market prices and yields of
securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government may be
adversely affected.
•LIBOR
Risk: Changes
related to the use of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or similar
interbank offered rates (“IBORs,” such as the Euro Overnight Index Average
(EONIA)) could have adverse impacts on financial instruments that reference
LIBOR or a similar rate. While some instruments may contemplate a scenario where
LIBOR or a similar rate is no longer available by providing for an alternative
rate setting methodology, not all instruments have such fallback provisions and
the effectiveness of replacement rates is uncertain. The abandonment of LIBOR
and similar rates could affect the value and liquidity of instruments that
reference such rates, especially those that do not have fallback provisions. The
use of alternative reference rate products may impact investment strategy
performance.
•Models
and Data Risk: The
Fund’s investment exposure is heavily dependent on proprietary quantitative
models as well as information and data supplied by third parties (“Models and
Data”). When Models and Data prove to be incorrect or incomplete, any decisions
made in reliance thereon may lead to securities being included in or excluded
from the Fund’s portfolio that would have been excluded or included had the
Models and Data been correct and complete. Some of the models used by the Fund
are predictive in nature. The use of predictive models has inherent risks. For
example, such models may incorrectly forecast future behavior, leading to
potential losses. In addition, in unforeseen or certain low-probability
scenarios (often involving a market disruption of some kind), such models may
produce unexpected results, which can result in losses for the Fund.
Furthermore, because predictive models are usually constructed based on
historical data supplied by third parties, the success of relying on such models
may depend heavily on the accuracy and reliability of the supplied historical
data.
Non-Principal
Investment Strategies
Temporary
Investments:
To respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions, a Fund
may invest 100% of its total assets, without limitation, in high-quality
short-term debt securities and money market instruments. A Fund may be invested
in these instruments for extended periods, depending on the Adviser’s assessment
of market conditions. These short-term debt securities and money market
instruments may include shares of other mutual funds, commercial paper,
certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. Government securities and
repurchase agreements. While a Fund is in a defensive position, the opportunity
to achieve its investment objective will be limited. Furthermore, to the extent
that a Fund invests in money market mutual funds for its cash position, there
will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund would bear its pro rata
portion of such money market funds’ advisory and operational fees.
A
Fund may also invest a substantial portion of its assets in such instruments at
any time to maintain liquidity or pending selection of investments in accordance
with its policies.
Fund
Holdings Disclosure: A
description of the Fund’s policies regarding the release of Fund holdings
information is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information
(“SAI”).
Cybersecurity:
The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Funds and their service
providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of
protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses,
network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by
unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections
utilized by the Funds and their service providers, systems, networks, or devices
potentially can be breached. The Funds and shareholders could be negatively
impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach. Cybersecurity breaches can
include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from
computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shutdown,
disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website
access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact
a Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses;
interference with a Fund’s ability to calculate NAV; impediments to trading; the
inability of a Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser and other service providers to
transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory
fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation
costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of
confidential information.
Similar
adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers
of securities in which the Fund invests; counterparties with which a Fund
engages in transactions; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange
and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance
companies, and other financial institutions (including financial intermediaries
and service providers for a Fund’s shareholders); and other parties. In
addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these entities in order to
prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future.
Investment
Adviser:
Kensington Asset Management, LLC, Barton Oaks Plaza, Bldg II, 901 S Mopac
Expressway, Suite 225, Austin, Texas 78746, serves as investment adviser to the
Funds. Subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees, the Adviser is
responsible for management of each Fund’s investment portfolio. The Adviser is
responsible for assuring each Fund’s investments are selected according to the
respective Fund’s investment objective, policies, and restrictions. The Adviser
was formed in 2020 and one of its owners has over twenty years of experience
providing investment advisory services to individuals, corporations, charities,
and pensions. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between each Fund and
the Adviser, the Adviser is entitled to receive, on a monthly basis, an annual
advisory fee equal to 1.25% of the average daily net assets with respect to each
Fund.
In
addition, the Managed Income Fund and Dynamic Growth Fund have each instituted
breakpoints for each Fund as follows: the Managed Income Fund will pay a monthly
management fee that is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund's
average daily net assets for the first $1 billion, 1.225% on the next $1
billion, and 1.20% on assets greater than $2 billion; the Dynamic Growth Fund
will pay a monthly management fee that is calculated at the annual rate of 1.25%
of the Fund's average daily net assets for the first $2.5 billion, 1.225% on the
next $2.5 billion, and 1.20% on assets greater than $5 billion.
With
respect to the Managed Income Fund, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022
(inclusive of the period prior to the reorganization), as a result of the
operating expense limitation agreement, the Fund effectively paid a management
fee equal to 1.23%. With respect to the Dynamic Growth Fund, for the fiscal
period ended December 31, 2022 (inclusive of the period prior to the
reorganization), as a result of the operating expense limitation agreement, the
Fund effectively paid a management fee equal to 1.23% With respect to the Active
Advantage Fund, from the period its inception on March 23, 2022 through the
fiscal period ended December 31, 2022, as a result of the operating expense
limitation agreement, the Fund effectively paid a management fee equal to 0.00%.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the
advisory agreement with respect to the Funds is available in the Funds’
semi-annual shareholder report for the fiscal period ending June 30, 2022.
Pursuant
to an operating expenses limitation agreement, the Adviser has agreed to limit
“Operating Expenses” with respect to each Fund, which is defined to include all
expenses necessary or appropriate for the operation of the Fund and including
the Adviser’s investment advisory or management fee detailed in the investment
advisory agreement, and other expenses described in the investment advisory
agreement, but does not include any front-end or contingent deferred loads,
taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses of underlying funds in
which this Fund invests, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or
reorganization, dividend expense on securities sold short, extraordinary
expenses such as litigation, or distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses. The
limit for Operating Expenses for each Fund is as follows:

The
Funds’ SAI provides additional information about each portfolio manager’s
compensation structure, other accounts managed and ownership of shares of the
Funds.
Shares
of the Funds are sold at NAV plus any applicable sales load. The NAV of each
Fund is determined at close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time)
on each day the NYSE is open for business. NAV is computed by determining, on a
per class basis, the aggregate market value of all assets of the Fund, less its
liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding
((assets-liabilities)/number of shares = NAV). The NYSE is closed on weekends
and New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday,
Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. The NAV considers, on a per class basis,
the expenses and fees of the Fund, including management, administration, and
distribution fees, which are accrued daily. The determination of NAV for a share
class for a particular day is applicable to all applications for the purchase of
shares, as well as all requests for the redemption of shares, received by the
Fund (or an authorized broker or agent, or its authorized designee) before the
close of trading on the NYSE on that day.
Generally,
the Funds’ securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each
security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more
securities exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations
are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be
valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence
of a sale on the primary exchange, at the mean between the current bid ask
prices on such exchanges. Securities primarily traded in the National
Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”)
National Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall
be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities that are not
traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for
which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall
be valued at the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean
between the current bid and ask price on such over-the- counter market.
Fixed
income securities are valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices as
determined by an independent pricing service. Investments in other investment
companies, including money market funds, are valued at their NAV per share. ETFs
are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security
is principally traded.
Futures
contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are
principally traded. For swaps, contract terms are agreed among the counterparty
and the Adviser on behalf of a Fund. Pricing services value total return swap
contracts using the closing price of the underlying benchmark that the contract
is tracking. Credit default swap contracts and interest rate swap contracts are
marked to market daily based on quotations as provided by an independent pricing
service.
If
market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their
fair market value as determined using the “fair value” procedures approved by
the Board. The Board reviews, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy of
the policies and procedures of the Fund and the effectiveness of their
implementation. These fair value pricing procedures will also be used to price a
security when corporate events, events in the securities market and/or world
events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale price may not
reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair value pricing
procedures is to ensure that each Fund is accurately priced. The Board will
regularly evaluate whether the Trust’s fair value pricing procedures continue to
be appropriate in light of the specific circumstances of the Funds and the
quality of prices obtained through the application of such
procedures.
Foreign
securities are generally valued in the same manner as the securities described
above. Foreign securities are priced in the local currencies as of the close of
their primary exchange or market or as of the close of trading on the NYSE,
whichever is earlier. Foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the
exchange rate as provided by a pricing service as of the close of trading on the
NYSE. If events materially affecting the value of a security in the Funds’
portfolio, particularly foreign securities, occur after the close of trading on
a foreign market but before the Fund prices its shares, the security will be
valued at fair value. For example, if trading in a portfolio security is halted
and does not resume before the Fund calculates its NAV, the Adviser may need to
price the security using the Fund’s fair value pricing guidelines. Without a
fair value price, short-term traders could take advantage of the arbitrage
opportunity and dilute the NAV of long-term investors. Fair valuation of the
Fund’s portfolio securities can serve to reduce arbitrage opportunities
available to short-term traders, but there is no assurance that fair value
pricing policies will prevent dilution of the Fund’s NAV by short term traders.
The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result,
using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different
from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine NAV, or from the price
that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security.
This
Prospectus describes Class A shares, Institutional Class shares, and Class C
shares offered by the Funds.
Each
class of shares in the Funds represents interest in the same portfolio of
investments within the respective Fund. There is no investment minimum on
reinvested distributions and the Funds may change investment minimums at any
time. The Funds reserve the right to waive sales charges, as described below.
The Funds and the Adviser may each waive investment minimums at their individual
discretion. Not all share classes of a respective Fund may be available for
purchase in all states. For information on ongoing distribution fees, see the
section entitled Distribution Fees.
The
Funds offer these classes of shares so that you can choose the class that best
suits your investment needs and to provide access to the respective Fund through
various intermediaries. Refer to the information below so that you can choose
the class that best suits your investment needs. The main differences between
each class are loads and ongoing fees. For more information on specific
financial intermediary sales loads and waivers, see Appendix A to this statutory
prospectus.
Factors
to Consider When Choosing a Share Class: When
deciding which class of shares of the Funds to purchase, you should consider
your investment goals and your access to the Funds through various
intermediaries. To help you decide as to which class of shares to buy, please
refer to the examples of each Fund’s expenses over time in the Fees and Expenses
of the Fund section in this Prospectus. You also may wish to consult with your
financial adviser for advice with regard to which share class would be most
appropriate for you.
Class
A Shares: Class
A shares of each Fund are offered at the public offering price, which is NAV per
share plus the applicable sales charge. The sales charge varies, depending on
how much you invest. There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions. You
can also qualify for a sales charge reduction or waiver through a right of
accumulation or a letter of intent if you are a U.S. resident. See the
discussions of “Right of Accumulation” and “Letter of Intent” below. The Funds
reserves the right to waive any load as described below. The following sales
charges apply to your purchases of Class A shares of each Fund.

price includes the front-end sales load. The sales charge you pay may differ
slightly from the amount set forth above because of rounding that occurs in the
calculations used to determine your sales charge.
Rights
of Accumulation:
To qualify for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases of
Class A shares, you may combine your new purchases of Class A shares with Class
A shares of the same Fund that you already own. The applicable initial sales
charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and
the current value of all other Class A shares that you own. The reduced sales
charge will apply only to current purchases and must be requested in writing
when you buy your shares.
Shares
of the Funds held as follows cannot be combined with your current purchase for
purposes of reduced sales charges:
•Shares
held indirectly through financial intermediaries other than your current
purchase broker-dealer (for example, a different broker-dealer, a bank, a
separate insurance company account or an investment adviser);
•Shares
held through an administrator or trustee/custodian of an Employer Sponsored
Retirement Plan (for example, a 401(k) plan) other than employer-sponsored IRAs;
and
•Shares
held directly in the Funds’ account on which the broker-dealer (financial
adviser) of record is different than your current purchase
broker-dealer.
Letters
of Intent:
Under a Letter of Intent (“LOI”), you commit to purchase a specified dollar
amount of Class A shares of a Fund, with a minimum of $50,000, during a 13-month
period. You may combine purchases of Class A shares of other funds in Managed
Portfolio Series that are advised by the Adviser for purposes of meeting
specified dollar amounts. At your written request, Class A shares purchases made
during the previous 90 days may be included. The amount you agree to purchase
determines the initial sales charge you pay. If the full-face amount of the LOI
is not invested by the end of the 13-month period, your account will be adjusted
to the higher initial sales charge level for the amount invested. You are not
legally bound by the terms of your LOI to purchase the amount of your shares
stated in the LOI. The LOI does, however, authorize the Funds to hold in escrow
5% of the total amount you intend to purchase. If you do not complete the total
intended purchase at the end of the 13-month period, the Funds’ transfer agent
will redeem the necessary portion of the escrowed shares to make up the
difference between the reduced rate sales charge (based on the amount you
intended to purchase) and the sales charge that would normally apply (based on
the actual amount you purchased).
Repurchase
of Class A Shares:
If you have redeemed Class A shares of a Fund within the past 120 days, you may
repurchase an equivalent amount of Class A shares of the same Fund at NAV,
without the normal front-end sales charge. In effect, this allows you to
reacquire shares that you may have had to redeem, without repaying the front-end
sales charge. You may exercise this privilege only once and must notify the
respective Fund that you intend to do so in writing. The Fund must receive your
purchase order within 120 days of your redemption. Note that if you reacquire
shares through separate installments (e.g., through monthly or quarterly
repurchases), the sales charge waiver will only apply to those portions of your
repurchase order received within 120 days of your redemption.
The
redemption and repurchase of a Funds’ shares may still result in a tax liability
for federal income tax purposes.
Sales
Charge Waivers
The
sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the Funds is waived for certain
types of investors, including:
•Current
and retired directors and officers of the Fund or any of its subsidiaries, their
families (e.g., spouse, children, mother or father) and purchases referred
through the adviser.
•Employees
of the adviser and their families, or any full-time employee or registered
representative of the distributor or of broker-dealers having dealer agreements
with the distributor (a “Selling Broker”) and their immediate families (or any
trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan for the benefit of such
persons).
•Any
full-time employee of a bank, savings and loan, credit union or other financial
institution that utilizes a Selling Broker to clear purchases of the Fund’s
shares and their immediate families.
•Participants
in certain “wrap-fee” or asset allocation programs or other fee-based
arrangements sponsored by broker-dealers and other financial institutions that
have entered into agreements with the distributor.
•Clients
of financial intermediaries that have entered into arrangements with the
distributor providing for the shares to be used in particular investment
products made available to such clients and for which such registered investment
advisers may charge a separate fee.
•Institutional
investors (which may include bank trust departments and registered investment
advisers).
•Any
accounts established on behalf of registered investment advisers or their
clients by broker-dealers that charge a transaction fee and that have entered
into agreements with the distributor.
•Separate
accounts used to fund certain unregistered variable annuity contracts or Section
403(b) or 401(a) or (k) accounts.
•Employer-sponsored
retirement or benefit plans with total plan assets in excess of $5 million where
the plan’s investments in the Fund are part of an omnibus account. A minimum
initial investment of $1 million in the Fund is required. The distributor in its
sole discretion may waive these minimum dollar requirements.
The
Funds do not waive sales charges for the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale
of shares of a different fund where those shares were subject to a front-end
sales charge (sometimes called a “NAV transfer”). Whether a sales charge waiver
is available for your retirement plan or charitable account depends upon the
policies and procedures of your intermediary. Please consult your financial
adviser for further information.
Class
C Shares
– Class C Shares of the Funds are offered at NAV and have a contingent deferred
sales charge (“CDSC”).
Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge: The
distributor may advance to, or reimburse, a Fund 1.00% of the purchase price in
connection with 12b-1 fees advanced to authorized broker-dealers on purchases of
Class C shares. However, when the distributor makes such a payment, the
respective Class C shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC payable to the distributor
on shares redeemed prior to the first 12 months after their purchase.
Shareholders will be notified at the time of purchase if the shares purchased
are subject to this CDSC. The holding period for the CDSC begins on the day you
buy your shares. Your shares will age one month on that same date the next month
and each following month. For example, if you buy shares on the 15th of the
month, they will age one month on the 15th day of the next month and each
following month. The Funds uses a “first in, first out” method for calculating
the CDSC. This means that shares held the longest will be redeemed first, and
shares held the shortest time will be redeemed last. To keep your CDSC as low as
possible, each time you place a request to sell shares of a Fund, the Fund will
first sell any shares in your account that are not subject to a CDSC. If there
are not enough of these to meet your request, we will sell the shares in the
order they were purchased. The distributor may waive imposition of the CDSC at
its discretion.
Class
C Shares of the Funds purchased through the Funds’ transfer agent are eligible
to convert automatically to Class A Shares after eight years, based on the
original purchase date. Conversions are scheduled to occur on the third business
day of the month following the eighth anniversary of the month on which the
purchase was made, without the imposition of any sales load (including a CDSC),
fee, or other charge. Class C Shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends
or capital gain distributions will convert at the time the associated shares
convert. If you purchased your shares through a financial intermediary please
contact your financial intermediary for information regarding their procedures
for share class conversions.
Minimum

minimum initial and subsequent investment by class of shares for each Fund
is:

The
Funds and the Adviser may each waive investment minimums at their individual
discretion. There is no minimum investment requirement when you are buying
shares by reinvesting dividends and distributions from a Fund.
Purchasing
Shares: Shares
of each Fund are purchased at the NAV per share next calculated after your
purchase order is received in good order by the Fund (as defined below), plus
any applicable sales charge. Shares may be purchased directly from the Funds or
through a financial intermediary, including but not limited to, certain brokers,
financial planners, financial advisers, banks, insurance companies, retirement,
benefit and pension plans or certain packaged investment products.
Shares
of the Funds have not been registered and are not offered for sale outside of
the United States. The Funds generally do not sell shares to investors residing
outside the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful
permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO
addresses or in certain other circumstances where the Chief Compliance Officer
and Anti-Money Laundering Officer for the Trust conclude that such sale is
appropriate and is not in contravention of U.S. law.
A
service fee, currently $25, as well as any loss sustained by the Fund, will be
deducted from a shareholder’s account for any purchases that do not clear. The
Funds and U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent (the
“Transfer Agent”), will not be responsible for any losses, liability, cost or
expense resulting from rejecting any purchase order. Your initial order will not
be accepted until a completed account application (an “Account Application”) is
received by the Fund or the Transfer Agent.
Shares
of each Fund are purchased at the NAV per share next calculated after your
purchase order is received in good order by the Fund (as defined below), plus
any applicable sales charge. Shares may be purchased directly from the Funds or
through a financial intermediary, including but not limited to, certain brokers,
financial planners, financial advisers, banks, insurance companies, retirement,
benefit and pension plans or certain packaged investment products.
Purchases
through Financial Intermediaries:
For share purchases through a financial intermediary, you must follow the
procedures established by your financial intermediary. Your financial
intermediary is responsible for sending your purchase order and payment to the
Transfer Agent. Your financial intermediary holds the shares in your name and
receives all confirmations of purchases and sales from the Funds. Your financial
intermediary may charge for the services that it provides to you in connection
with processing your transaction order or maintaining an account with them.
If
you place an order for a Fund’s shares through a financial intermediary that is
authorized by the Fund to receive purchase and redemption orders on its behalf
(an “Authorized Intermediary”), your order will be processed at the applicable
price next calculated after receipt by the Authorized Intermediary, consistent
with applicable laws and regulations. Authorized Intermediaries are authorized
to designate other Authorized Intermediaries to receive purchase and redemption
orders on the Fund’s behalf.
If
your financial intermediary is not an Authorized Intermediary, your order will
be processed at the applicable price next calculated after the Transfer Agent
receives your order from your financial intermediary. Your financial
intermediary must agree to send immediately available funds to the Transfer
Agent in the amount of the purchase price in accordance with the Transfer
Agent’s procedures. If payment is not received in a timely manner, the Transfer
Agent may rescind the transaction and your financial intermediary will be held
liable for any resulting fees or losses. Financial intermediaries that are not
Authorized Intermediaries may set cut-off times for the receipt of orders that
are earlier than the cut-off times established by the Fund.
For
more information about your financial intermediary’s rules and procedures, and
whether your financial intermediary is an Authorized Intermediary, you should
contact your financial intermediary directly.
Purchase
Requests Must be Received in Good Order:
Your share price will be based on the next NAV per share, plus any applicable
sales charge, calculated after the Transfer Agent or an Authorized Intermediary
receives your purchase request in good order. “Good order” means that your
purchase request includes:
•The
name of the Fund(s);
•The
class of shares to be purchased;
•The
dollar amount of shares to be purchased;
•Your
account application or investment stub; and
•A
check payable to the name of each Fund or a wire transfer received by each
Fund.
An
Account Application to purchase Fund shares is subject to acceptance by the Fund
and is not binding until so accepted. Each Fund reserves the right to reject any
Account Application or to reject any purchase order if, in its discretion, it is
in the Fund’s best interest to do so. For example, a purchase order may be
refused if it appears so large that it would disrupt the management of a Fund.
Purchases may also be rejected from persons believed to be “market-timers,” as
described under “Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares,” below.
Accounts opened by entities, such as corporations, limited liability companies,
partnerships or trusts, will require additional documentation. Please note that
if any information listed above is missing, your Account Application will be
returned and your account will not be opened.
Upon
acceptance by a Fund, all purchase requests received in good order before the
close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) will be processed at the
applicable price next calculated after receipt. Purchase requests received after
the close of the NYSE will be processed on the following business day and
receive the next business day’s applicable price per share.
Purchase
by Mail.
To purchase Fund shares by mail, simply complete and sign the Account
Application or investment stub and mail it, along with a check made payable to
the Fund:

The
Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery
services to be their agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such
services, or receipt at the U.S. Bank Global Fund Services’ post office box, of
purchase or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the Transfer
Agent. Receipt of purchase or redemption requests is determined at the time the
order is received at the Transfer Agent’s offices. All purchase checks must be
in U.S. dollars drawn on a domestic financial institution. The Funds will not
accept payment in cash or money orders. To prevent check fraud, the Funds will
not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s
checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. The Funds are unable to
accept post-dated checks or any conditional order or payment.
Purchase
by Wire.
If you are making your first investment in a Fund, the Transfer Agent must have
a completed Account Application before you wire the funds. You can mail or use
an overnight service to deliver your Account Application to the Transfer Agent
at the above address. Upon receipt of your completed Account Application, the
Transfer Agent will establish an account for you. Once your account has been
established, you may instruct your bank to send the wire. Prior to sending the
wire, please call the Transfer Agent at 866-303-8623 to advise them of the wire
and to ensure proper credit upon receipt. Your bank must include the name of the
Fund(s), the class of shares, your name and your account number so that your
wire can be correctly applied. Your bank should transmit immediately available
funds by wire to:

funds must be received prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time) to be eligible for same day pricing. The Funds and U.S. Bank,
N.A., the Funds’ custodian, are not responsible for the consequences of delays
resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system, or from incomplete
wiring instructions.
Investing
by Telephone. You
may not make initial purchases of Fund shares by telephone. If you accepted
telephone transactions on your Account Application or have been authorized to
perform telephone transactions by subsequent arrangement in writing with the
Fund and your account has been open for at least 7 business days, you may
purchase additional shares by telephoning the Fund toll free at 866-303-8623.
This option allows investors to move money from their bank account to their Fund
account upon request. Only bank accounts held at domestic financial institutions
that are Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) members may be used for telephone
transactions. The minimum telephone purchase amount is $100. If your order is
received prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time),
shares will be purchased in your account at the applicable price determined on
the day your order is placed. Shareholders may encounter higher than usual call
waiting times during periods of high market activity. Please allow sufficient
time to place your telephone transaction. The Funds are not responsible for
delays due to communications or transmission outages or failure. Once a
telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified after
the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern
Time).
Automatic
Investment Plan.
For your convenience, each Fund offers an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”).
Under the AIP, after your initial investment, you may authorize the Fund to
withdraw any amount of at least $1,000 that you wish to invest in the Fund, on a
monthly or quarterly basis, from your personal checking or savings account. In
order to participate in the AIP, your bank must be a member of the ACH network.
If you wish to enroll in the AIP, the appropriate section in the Account
Application must be completed. A Fund may terminate or modify this privilege at
any time. You may terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by
notifying the Transfer Agent five days prior to the next scheduled investment. A
fee will be charged if your bank does not honor the AIP draft for any
reason.
Subsequent
Investments. Subject
to the minimum investment amounts described above, you may add to your account
at any time by purchasing shares by mail, telephone or wire. You must call to
notify the Funds at 866-303-8623 before wiring. An Invest by Mail form, which is
attached to your confirmation statement, should accompany any investments made
through the mail. All subsequent purchase requests must include the Fund name
and your shareholder account number. If you do not have the Invest by Mail form
from your confirmation statement, include your name, address, Fund name and
account number on a separate piece of paper.
Anti-Money
Laundering Program.
The Trust has established an Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Program (the
“Program”) as required by the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the
“USA PATRIOT Act”) and related anti-money laundering laws and regulations. To
ensure compliance with these laws and regulations, the Account Application asks
for, among other things, the following information for all “customers” seeking
to open an “account” (as those terms are defined in rules adopted pursuant to
the USA PATRIOT Act):
•Full
name;
•Date
of birth (individuals only);
•Social
Security or taxpayer identification number; and
•Permanent
street address (a P.O. Box number alone is not acceptable).
In
compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and other applicable anti-money laundering
laws and regulations, the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your
account application as part of the Program. As requested on the account
application, you must supply your full name, date of birth, social security
number and permanent street address. If you are opening the account in the name
of a legal entity (e.g., partnership, limited liability company, business trust,
corporation, etc.),
you must also supply the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses
containing only a P. O. Box will not be accepted. The Funds reserve the right to
request additional clarifying information and may close your account if such
clarifying information is not received by the Funds within a reasonable time of
the request or if the Funds cannot form a reasonable belief as to the true
identity of a customer. If you require additional assistance when completing
your application, please contact the Transfer Agent at
866-303-8623.
Cancellations
and Modifications.
The Funds will not accept a request to cancel or modify a written transaction
once processing has begun. Please exercise care when placing a transaction
request.
Redeeming
Shares:
In general, orders to sell or “redeem” shares may be placed directly with the
Funds or through a financial intermediary. You may redeem all or part of your
investment in a Fund’s shares on any business day that the Fund calculates its
NAV.
However,
if you originally purchased your shares through a broker-dealer or financial
intermediary, your redemption order must be placed with the same financial
intermediary in accordance with its established procedures. Your financial
intermediary is responsible for sending your order to the Transfer Agent and for
crediting your account with the proceeds. Your financial intermediary may charge
for the services that it provides to you in connection with processing your
transaction order or maintaining an account with it.
Shareholders
who have an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their written
redemption request whether to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests
failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be
subject to 10% withholding. Shares held in IRA or other retirement plan accounts
may be redeemed by telephone at 866-303-8623. Investors redeeming by telephone
will be asked whether to withhold taxes from any distribution.
Payment
of Redemption Proceeds.
You may redeem your Fund shares at a price equal to the NAV per share next
determined after the Transfer Agent or an Authorized Intermediary receives your
redemption request in good order. Your redemption request cannot be processed on
days the NYSE is closed. All requests received by a Fund in good order after the
close of the regular trading session of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern
Time) will usually be processed on the next business day. Under normal
circumstances, the Funds expect to meet redemption requests through the sale of
investments held in cash or cash equivalents. In situations in which investment
holdings in cash or cash equivalents are not sufficient to meet redemption
requests, the Funds will typically borrow money through the Funds’ bank
line-of-credit. The Funds may also choose to sell portfolio assets for the
purpose of meeting such requests. Each Fund further reserves the right to
distribute “in-kind” securities from the Fund’s portfolio in lieu (in whole or
in part) of cash under certain circumstances, including under stressed market
conditions. Redemptions-in-kind are discussed in greater detail
below.
A
redemption request will be deemed in “good order” if it includes:
•The
shareholder’s name;
•The
name of the Fund to be redeemed;
•The
class of shares to be redeemed;
•The
account number;
•The
share or dollar amount to be redeemed; and
•Signatures
by all shareholders on the account and signature guarantee(s), if
applicable.
Additional
documents are required for certain types of redemptions, such as redemptions
from accounts held by credit unions, corporations, limited liability companies,
or partnerships, or from accounts with executors, trustees, administrators or
guardians. Please contact the Transfer Agent to confirm the requirements
applicable to your specific redemption request. Redemption requests that do not
have the required documentation will be rejected.
While
redemption proceeds may be paid by check sent to the address of record, the
Funds are not responsible for interest lost on such amounts due to lost or
misdirected mail. Redemption proceeds may be wired to your pre-established bank
account or proceeds may be sent via electronic funds transfer through the ACH
network using the bank instructions previously established for your account. The
Funds typically send the redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day
when the NYSE is open for normal business) after the redemption request is
received in good order and prior to market close, regardless of whether the
redemption proceeds are sent via check, wire, or ACH transfer. Wires are subject
to a $15 fee. There is no charge to have proceeds sent via ACH; however, funds
are typically credited to your bank within two to three days after redemption.
Except as set forth below, proceeds will be paid within seven calendar days
after a Fund receives your redemption request. Under unusual circumstances, the
Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for up to seven days, as
permitted by federal securities law.
Please
note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you
are redeeming, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected,
which may take up to 12 calendar days from the purchase date. This delay will
not apply if you purchased your shares via wire payment. Furthermore, there are
certain times when you may be unable to sell Fund shares or receive proceeds.
Specifically, a Fund may suspend the right to redeem shares or postpone the date
of payment upon redemption for more than seven calendar days: (1) for any
period during which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday
closings) or trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) for any period during
which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the Fund of its
securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for
the Fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets; or (3) for such
other periods as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may by
order permit for the protection of shareholders. Your ability to redeem shares
by telephone will be restricted for 15 calendar days after you change your
address. You may change your address at any time by telephone or written
request, addressed to the Transfer Agent. Confirmations of an address change
will be sent to both your old and new address.
Signature
Guarantee.
Redemption proceeds will be sent to the address of record. The Transfer Agent
may require a signature guarantee for certain requests. A signature guarantee
assures that your signature is genuine and protects you from unauthorized
account redemptions. Signature guarantees can be obtained from domestic banks,
brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered
securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as
from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and
the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”), but not from a
notary public. A signature guarantee, from either a Medallion program member or
a non-Medallion program member, is required of each owner in the following
situations:
•If
ownership is being changed on your account;
•When
redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account
not on record;
•When
a redemption is received by the Transfer Agent and the account address has
changed within the last 15 calendar days; and
•For
all redemptions in excess of $100,000 from any shareholder account where the
proceeds are requested to be sent by check.
Non-financial
transactions, including establishing or modifying the ability to purchase and
redeem Fund shares by telephone and certain other services on an account, may
require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature
Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a
financial institution source.
In
addition to the situations described above, each Fund and/or the Transfer Agent
reserve(s) the right to require a signature guarantee or other acceptable
signature verification in other instances based on the circumstances relative to
the particular situation.
Redemption
by Mail. You
can execute most redemptions by furnishing an unconditional written request to
the Funds to redeem your shares at the current NAV per share. Written redemption
requests should be sent to the Transfer Agent at:

OF REGISTRATION |
REQUIREMENTS |
Individual,
Joint Tenants, Sole Proprietorship, Custodial (Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act) and General Partners |
Redemption
requests must be signed by all person(s) required to sign for the account,
exactly as it is registered. |
Corporations
and Associations |
Redemption
request and a corporate resolution, signed by person(s) required to sign
for the account, accompanied by signature guarantee(s). |
Trusts |
Redemption
request signed by the trustee(s). A signature guarantee may be required.
See “Signature Guarantee” above for those situations where a signature
guarantee is needed. (If the Trustee’s name is not registered on the
account, a copy of the trust document certified within the past 60 days is
also required.) |
The
Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery
services to be their agents. Therefore, a deposit in the mail or with such
services, or receipt at the U.S. Bank Global Fund Services’ post office box, of
purchase orders or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the Funds’
Transfer Agent. Receipt of purchase orders or redemption requests is based on
when the order is received at the Transfer Agent’s offices.
Wire
Redemption.
Wire transfers may be arranged to redeem shares. However, the Transfer Agent
charges a fee, currently $15, per wire redemption against your account on dollar
specific trades, and from proceeds on complete redemptions and share-specific
trades.
Telephone
Redemption. If
you are set up to perform telephone transactions (either through your Account
Application or by subsequent arrangements in writing), you may redeem shares in
any amount up to $50,000 by instructing the Transfer Agent by telephone at
866-303-8623. You must redeem at least $100 for each telephone redemption.
During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than
usual call waiting times. Please allow sufficient time to place your telephone
transaction. The Funds are not responsible for delays due to communications or
transmission outages or failure.
In
order to qualify for, or to change, telephone redemption privileges on an
existing account, a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature
Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a
financial institution source may be required of all shareholders in order to
qualify for, or to change, telephone redemption privileges on an existing
account. Telephone redemptions will not be made if you have notified the
Transfer Agent of a change of address within 15 days before the redemption
request. Shareholders may encounter higher than usual call waiting times during
periods of high market activity. Please allow sufficient time to place your
telephone transaction. The Funds are not responsible for delays due to
communication or transmission outages or failures.
Neither
the Funds nor any of their service providers will be liable for any loss or
expense in acting upon any telephone instructions that are reasonably believed
to be genuine.
The Funds will use reasonable procedures to attempt to confirm that all
telephone instructions are genuine, such as requesting a shareholder to
correctly state:
•His
or her Fund account number;
•The
name in which his or her account is registered; and/or
•The
Social Security or taxpayer identification number under which the account is
registered.
If
an account has more than one owner or person authorized to perform transactions,
the Funds will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized
person.
Systematic
Withdrawal Program.
If you own shares with a value of $10,000 or more, you may participate in the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan. The Funds’ systematic withdrawal option allows you
to move money automatically from your Fund account via check to your address of
record or to your bank account according to the schedule you select. The minimum
systematic withdrawal amount is $100.
To
select the systematic withdrawal option, you must check the appropriate box on
your New Account Application or submit a written request that should include the
frequency, amount of the withdrawal, payment method, the account number and the
signature(s) of all owners. You may elect to change or terminate your
participation in this Plan at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent at least
five days prior to the next scheduled withdrawal. If you expect to purchase
additional Fund shares, it may not be to your advantage to participate in the
Systematic Withdrawal Plan because contemporaneous purchases and redemptions may
result in adverse tax consequences. For more information about this service,
please see call the Transfer Agent at 866-303-8623.
The
Funds’ Right to Redeem an Account.
Each Fund reserves the right to redeem the shares of any shareholder whose
account balance is less than $1,000, other than as a result of a decline in the
NAV of a Fund. The Fund will provide a shareholder with written notice 30 days
prior to redeeming the shareholder’s account.
Redemption-in-Kind.
Each Fund generally pays redemption proceeds in cash. However, under unusual
conditions that make the payment of cash unwise (and for the protection of the
Fund’s remaining shareholders), a Fund may pay all or part of a shareholder’s
redemption proceeds in portfolio securities with a market value equal to the
redemption price (redemption-in-kind).
Specifically,
if the amount you are redeeming from a Fund during any 90-day period is in
excess of the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the Fund’s net assets, valued at the
beginning of such period, the Fund has the right to redeem your shares by giving
you the amount that exceeds this threshold in securities instead of cash. If the
Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a distribution of securities, you could
incur brokerage or other charges in converting the securities to cash, and you
may incur a taxable capital gain or loss as a result of the distribution. In
addition, you will bear any market risks associated with such securities until
they are converted into cash.
Cancellations
and Modifications. The
Funds will not accept a request to cancel or modify a written transaction once
processing has begun. Please exercise care when placing a transaction
request.
You
may exchange shares of one Fund for shares in an identically registered account
of another Fund of the same Class at their respective NAV per share without
payment of a fee.
Exercising
the exchange privilege consists of two transactions: a sale of shares in one
Fund and the purchase of shares in another. As a result, the exchange may have
tax consequences. A shareholder could realize short- or long-term capital gains
or losses. An exchange request received prior to the close of the NYSE will be
made at that day’s closing NAV per share. The Funds reserve the right to refuse
the purchase side of any exchange that would not be in the best interests of a
Fund or its shareholders and could adversely affect the Fund or its operations.
The Funds may modify or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time.
Financial
advisers (or their agents) maintaining shareholder accounts may charge their
customers a processing or service fee in connection with an exchange of Fund
shares. The amount and applicability of any such fee is determined and should be
disclosed to its customers by each financial adviser. Processing or service fees
typically are fixed, nominal dollar amounts and are in addition to the sales and
other charges described in this Prospectus and the SAI. Your financial adviser
should provide you with specific information about any processing or service
fees you will be charged.
Certain
financial advisers (or their agents) are authorized to accept exchange orders on
behalf of the Funds. A Fund will be deemed to have received an exchange order
when an authorized financial adviser (or its agent) accepts the exchange order
and such order will be priced at the NAV per share next calculated, plus any
applicable sales charge, after such order is accepted by the financial adviser
(or its agent).
If
you hold shares through a financial adviser (or their agent), you may be able to
exchange your shares for a different share class that has a lower expense ratio
provided that certain conditions established by your financial adviser are met.
This exchange feature is intended for shares held through a financial adviser
offering an investment program with an all-inclusive fee, such as a wrap fee or
other fee-based program specific for this purpose. In such instance, your shares
automatically may be exchanged under certain circumstances. Class A and C shares
are not eligible for conversion until the applicable CDSC period has expired. A
Fund will use the date of your original share purchase to determine whether you
must pay a CDSC when you sell the shares of the Fund acquired in the
exchange.
Exchanges

exchange Fund shares by mail, simply complete a written request and mail it to

FREQUENT
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES |
The
Funds are intended for long-term investors. Short-term “market-timers” who
engage in frequent purchases and redemptions may disrupt a Fund’s investment
program and create additional transaction costs that are borne by all of the
Funds’ shareholders. The Board has adopted policies and procedures that are
designed to discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading
practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm performance.
The Funds take steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in
the Funds. These steps include, among other things, monitoring trading activity
and using fair value pricing. Although these efforts are designed to discourage
abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that
such activity will occur. The Funds seek to exercise judgment in implementing
these tools to the best of their abilities in a manner that they believe is
consistent with shareholder interests. Except as noted herein, the Funds intend
to apply all restrictions uniformly in all applicable cases.
Monitoring
Trading Practices. The
Funds monitor selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term
trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, a Fund believes that a
shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, it may, in its
discretion, ask the shareholder to stop such activities or refuse to process
purchases in the shareholder’s accounts. In making such judgments, each Fund
seeks to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests
of its shareholders. The Funds use a variety of techniques to monitor for and
detect abusive trading practices. These techniques may change from time to time
as determined by the Funds in their sole discretion. To minimize harm to the
Funds and their shareholders, each Fund reserves the right to reject any
purchase order (but not a redemption request), in whole or in part, for any
reason and without prior notice. A Fund may decide to restrict purchase and sale
activity in its shares based on various factors, including whether frequent
purchase and sale activity will disrupt portfolio management strategies and
adversely affect Fund performance.
Fair
Value Pricing.
Each Fund employs fair value pricing selectively to ensure greater accuracy in
its daily NAVs and to prevent dilution by frequent traders or market timers who
seek to take advantage of temporary market anomalies. The Board has developed
procedures that utilize fair value pricing when reliable market quotations are
not readily available or when corporate events, events in the securities market
and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale
price may not reflect its actual market value. Valuing securities at fair value
involves reliance on judgment. Fair value determinations are made in good faith
in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. There can be no assurance
that a Fund will obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell
the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per
share. More detailed information regarding fair value pricing can be found in
this Prospectus under the heading entitled “How Shares are Priced.”
Due
to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading
activity and the volume of shareholder transactions each Fund handles, there can
be no assurance that a Fund’s efforts will identify all trades or trading
practices that may be considered abusive. In particular, since each Fund
receives purchase and sale orders through Authorized Intermediaries that use
group or omnibus accounts, a Fund cannot always detect frequent trading.
However, the Funds will work with Authorized Intermediaries as necessary to
discourage shareholders from engaging in abusive trading practices and to impose
restrictions on excessive trades. In this regard, each Fund has entered into
information sharing agreements with Authorized Intermediaries pursuant to which
these intermediaries are required to provide to the Fund, at the Fund’s request,
certain information relating to their customers investing in the Fund through
non-disclosed or omnibus accounts. The Funds will use this information to
attempt to identify abusive trading practices. Authorized Intermediaries are
contractually required to follow any instructions from a Fund to restrict or
prohibit future purchases from shareholders that are found to have engaged in
abusive trading in violation of the Funds’ policies. However, a Fund cannot
guarantee the accuracy of the information provided to it from Authorized
Intermediaries and cannot ensure that it will always be able to detect abusive
trading practices that occur through non-disclosed and omnibus accounts. As a
result, the Funds’ ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices
in non-disclosed and omnibus accounts may be limited.
|
| |
TAX
STATUS, DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS |
The
Funds intend to distribute substantially all their net investment income
quarterly and net capital gains annually. Distributions of each Fund’s net
investment company taxable income (which includes, but is not limited to,
interest, dividends, net short-term capital gains, and net gains from foreign
currency transactions), if any, are generally taxable to the Fund’s shareholders
as ordinary income. To the extent that a Fund’s distributions of net investment
company taxable income are designated as attributable to “qualified dividend”
income, such income may be subject to tax at the reduced rate of federal income
tax applicable to non-corporate shareholders for net long-term capital gains, if
certain holding period requirements have been satisfied by the shareholder. To
the extent a Fund’s distributions of net investment company taxable income are
attributable to net short-term capital gains, such distributions will be treated
as ordinary dividend income for the purposes of income tax reporting and will
not be available to offset a shareholder’s capital losses from other
investments.
Distributions
of net capital gains (net long-term capital gains less net short-term capital
losses) are generally taxable as long-term capital gains (currently at a maximum
rate of 20% for individual shareholders in the highest income tax bracket)
regardless of the length of time that a shareholder has owned Fund shares,
unless you are a tax-exempt organization or are investing through a
tax-advantaged arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or IRA.
Pursuant
to provisions of the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, a 3.8%
Medicare tax on net investment income (including capital gains and dividends)
will also be imposed on individuals, estates and trusts, subject to certain
income thresholds.
You
will be taxed in the same manner whether you receive your distributions (whether
of net investment company taxable income or net capital gains) in cash or
reinvest them in additional Fund shares. Distributions are generally taxable
when received. However, distributions declared in October, November or December
to shareholders of record on a date in such a month and paid the following
January are taxable as if received on December 31.
Shareholders
who sell, or redeem, shares generally will have a capital gain or loss from the
sale or redemption. The amount of the gain or loss and the applicable rate of
federal income tax will depend generally upon the amount paid for the shares,
the amount of reinvested taxable distributions, if any, the amount received from
the sale or redemption and how long the shares were held by a shareholder. Any
loss arising from the sale or redemption of shares held for six months or less,
however, is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts
treated as distributions of net capital gain received on such shares. In
determining the holding period of such shares for this purpose, any period
during which your risk of loss is offset by means of options, short sales or
similar transactions is not counted. If you purchase Fund shares within 30 days
before or after redeeming other Fund shares at a loss, all or part of that loss
will not be deductible and will instead increase the basis of the newly
purchased shares.
Shareholders
will be advised annually as to the federal tax status of all distributions made
by each Fund for the preceding year. Distributions by the Funds may also be
subject to state and local taxes. Additional tax information may be found in the
SAI.
This
section assumes you are a U.S. shareholder and is also not intended to be a full
discussion of federal tax laws and the effect of such laws on you. There may be
other federal, state, foreign or local tax considerations applicable to a
particular investor. You are urged to consult your own tax adviser.
Distributor:
Quasar
Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is located at 111 East Kilbourn Avenue,
Suite 2200, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202, and serves as distributor and principal
underwriter to the Fund. The Distributor is a registered broker-dealer and
member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Shares of the Fund
are offered on a continuous basis.
Distribution
Fees: The
Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (a “Plan”) under
the 1940 Act with respect to the sale and distribution of Class A shares and
Class C shares of the Funds. Pursuant to the Plan, the Funds pays the
distributor an annual fee for distribution and shareholder servicing expenses of
0.25% of the relevant Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to the Class
A shares; and 1.00% of relevant Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to
Class C shares. A portion of the fee payable pursuant to the Plan, equal to up
to 0.25% of the average daily net assets, may be characterized as a service fee
as such term is defined under Rule 2341 of the FINRA Conduct Rules. A service
fee includes payment made for personal service and/or the maintenance of
shareholder accounts. Because 12b-1 fees are paid out of the relevant Fund’s
assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.
Additional
Compensation to Financial Intermediaries: The
Funds may pay service fees to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers,
financial advisers or other financial institutions, including affiliates of the
Adviser, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and other shareholder
services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in omnibus
accounts, other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities
clearing agents.
The
Adviser, out of its own resources and without additional cost to the Funds or
their shareholders, may provide additional cash payments to intermediaries who
sell shares of the Fund. These payments and compensation are in addition to
service fees paid by a Fund, if any. Payments are generally made to
intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing support or access
to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives of the
intermediary. Payments may also be paid to intermediaries for inclusion of the
Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales list or in other
sales programs. Compensation may be paid as an expense reimbursement in cases in
which the intermediary provides shareholder services to the Funds. The Adviser
may also pay cash compensation in the form of finder’s fees that vary depending
on the dollar amount of the shares sold.
Householding:
In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of
duplicate prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports you receive by sending
only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to
shareholders the Funds reasonably believe are from the same family or household.
If you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call
toll-free at 866-303-8623 to request individual copies of these documents. Once
the Funds receive notice to stop householding, the Funds will begin sending
individual copies 30 days after receiving your request. This householding policy
does not apply to account statements.
Lost
Shareholders, Inactive Accounts and Unclaimed Property.
It is important that the Fund maintain a correct address for each shareholder.
An incorrect address may cause a shareholder’s account statements and other
mailings to be returned to the Fund. Based upon statutory requirements for
returned mail, the Fund will attempt to locate the shareholder or rightful owner
of the account. If the Fund is unable to locate the shareholder, then they will
determine whether the shareholder’s account can legally be considered abandoned.
Your mutual fund account may be transferred to the state government of your
state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the
“inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws. The Fund
is legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the
appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with
statutory requirements. The shareholder’s last known address of record
determines which state has jurisdiction. Please proactively contact the Transfer
Agent toll-free at 866-303-8623 at least annually to ensure your account remains
in active status.
If
you are a resident of the state of Texas, you may designate a representative to
receive notifications that, due to inactivity, your mutual fund account assets
may be delivered to the Texas Comptroller. Please contact the Transfer Agent if
you wish to complete a Texas Designation of Representative form.
The
Financial Highlights information is presented for the Funds during the periods
indicated. With respect to the Managed Income Fund and Dynamic Growth Fund, the
financial data for periods prior to the Reorganization, which occurred as of the
close of business on June 24, 2022, is the financial history of the Managed
Income Predecessor Fund and Dynamic Growth Predecessor Fund, respectively. Prior
to the Reorganization, each of the Managed Income Fund and Dynamic Growth Fund
was a “shell” fund with no assets and had not commenced operations.
The
financial highlights table is intended to help you understand each Fund’s
financial performance for the past five fiscal years or shorter period as
applicable. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund
share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would
have earned (or lost) on an investment in a Fund (assuming reinvestment of all
dividends and distributions). The December 31, 2022 audited financial statements
of the Funds have been audited by Cohen & Company, Ltd., whose report, along
with the Funds’ financial statements, are included in the Funds’ December 31,
2022 annual report, which is available upon request. The information in the
tables below for the fiscal periods prior to December 31, 2022 has been derived
from the financial statements audited by the independent registered public
accounting firm for the Managed Income Predecessor Fund and Dynamic Growth
Predecessor Fund. These financial statements from prior fiscal years are
available upon request.

APPENDIX
A
Financial
Intermediary-Specific Sales Charge Waivers and Discounts
Intermediary-Defined
Sales Charge Waiver Policies
The
availability of certain initial or deferred sales charge waivers and discounts
depends on the particular financial intermediary or type of account through
which you purchase or hold Fund shares.
Intermediaries
have different policies and procedures regarding the availability of front-end
sales load waivers or contingent deferred (back-end) sales load (“CDSC”)
waivers, which are discussed below. In all instances, it is the purchaser’s
responsibility to notify the fund or the purchaser’s financial intermediary at
the time of purchase of any relationship or other facts qualifying the purchaser
for sales charge waivers or discounts. For waivers and discounts not available
through a particular intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase fund
shares directly from the fund or through another intermediary to receive these
waivers or discounts.
Raymond
James & Associates, Inc., Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. and each
entity’s affiliates (“Raymond James”)
Effective
March 1, 2019, shareholders purchasing fund shares through a Raymond James
platform or account, or through an introducing broker-dealer or independent
registered investment adviser for which Raymond James provides trade execution,
clearance, and/or custody services, will be eligible only for the following load
waivers (front-end sales charge waivers and contingent deferred, or back-end,
sales charge waivers) and discounts, which may differ from those disclosed
elsewhere in this fund’s prospectus or SAI.
Front-end
sales load waivers on Class A shares available at Raymond James
•Shares
purchased in an investment advisory program.
•Shares
purchased within the same fund family through a systematic reinvestment of
capital gains and dividend distributions.
•Employees
and registered representatives of Raymond James or its affiliates and their
family members as designated by Raymond James.
•Shares
purchased from the proceeds of redemptions within the same fund family, provided
(1) the repurchase occurs within 90 days following the redemption, (2) the
redemption and purchase occur in the same account, and (3) redeemed shares were
subject to a front-end or deferred sales load (known as Rights of
Reinstatement).
•A
shareholder in the Fund’s Class C shares will have their shares converted at net
asset value to Class A shares (or the appropriate share class) of the Fund if
the shares are no longer subject to a CDSC and the conversion is in line with
the policies and procedures of Raymond James.
CDSC
Waivers on Class A and Class C shares available at Raymond James
•Death
or disability of the shareholder.
•Shares
sold as part of a systematic withdrawal plan as described in the fund’s
prospectus.
•Return
of excess contributions from an IRA Account.
•Shares
sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts
due to the shareholder reaching the qualified age based on applicable IRS
regulations as described in the fund’s prospectus.
•Shares
sold to pay Raymond James fees but only if the transaction is initiated by
Raymond James.
•Shares
acquired through a right of reinstatement.
Front-end
load discounts available at Raymond James: breakpoints, rights of accumulation,
and/or letters of intent
•Breakpoints
as described in this prospectus.
•Rights
of accumulation which entitle shareholders to breakpoint discounts will be
automatically calculated based on the aggregated holding of fund family assets
held by accounts within the purchaser’s household at Raymond James. Eligible
fund family assets not held at Raymond James may be included in the calculation
of rights of accumulation only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial
advisor about such assets.
•Letters
of intent which allow for breakpoint discounts based on anticipated purchases
within a fund family, over a 13-month time period. Eligible fund family assets
not held at Raymond James may be included in the calculation of letters of
intent only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial advisor about such
assets.
