Summary
Section
Investment Objectives
The Muhlenkamp Fund (the
“Fund”) seeks to maximize total after-tax return to its shareholders through
capital appreciation, and income from dividends and interest, consistent with
reasonable risk.
Fees and Expenses of the
Fund
The following table describes
the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the
Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to
financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the tables and examples
below.

(1)The
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund do not correlate to the ratio
of operating expenses to average net assets in the "Financial Highlights"
section of the Fund's Statutory Prospectus, which reflects the operating
expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses
(“AFFE”).
(2)Muhlenkamp & Company,
Inc. (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive its management fees, and
pay Fund expenses, in order to ensure that effective May 1, 2023, Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, leverage/borrowing interest, interest
expense, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed
1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Fees waived and expenses paid by
the Adviser may be recouped by the Adviser for a period of 36 months following
the date on 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 place
at the time of recoupment. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is
indefinite, but cannot be terminated through at least April 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 for one year).
Although your actual costs may be higher
or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio
Turnover
The Fund pays transaction
costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over”
its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher
transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a
taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund
Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the
most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 15.40% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Fund principally invests in a diversified list of common stocks of companies of
any capitalization, determined by the investment adviser to be highly
profitable, yet undervalued. The Adviser looks for companies it believes to have
above-average profitability, as measured by corporate return-on-equity, and that
sell at below-average prices, as measured by price-to-earnings-ratios. To
determine average profitability and average price, the Adviser uses data
produced by various independent research organizations. In pursuing its
investment objectives, the Fund may also invest in exchange-traded funds
(“ETF”s) and in securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary
Receipts (“ADR”s). The Fund may purchase investment grade fixed income or debt
securities, of any maturity or duration, from time to time as substitutes for
stocks when the Adviser determines that market conditions warrant their
purchase. The Fund intends to invest for the long-term, but may sell stocks and
other securities regardless of how long they have been held.
At
the Adviser’s discretion, the Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash,
cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market
instruments (i) to retain flexibility in meeting redemptions, paying expenses,
and identifying and assessing investment opportunities, and (ii) for temporary
defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic or political
conditions. Such investments may result in the Fund not achieving its investment
objectives.
Principal Risks
As
with any mutual fund, there are risks to investing. An investment in the Fund is not a
deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") or any other governmental agency.
Remember, in addition to
possibly not achieving your investment goals, you could lose all or a portion
of your investment in the Fund over short or even long periods of
time. The principal risks of
investing in the Fund are:
General
Market Risk. The
Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and investment return will fluctuate based upon
changes in the value of its portfolio securities. Certain
securities selected for the Fund’s portfolio may be worth less than the price
originally paid for them, or less than they were worth at an earlier time.
Management
Risk. The
Fund may not meet its investment objectives or may underperform mutual funds
with similar strategies if the Adviser cannot successfully implement the Fund’s
investment strategies.
Equity
Securities Risk. The
equity securities held in the Fund’s portfolio 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 or companies in which the Fund invests.
Large-Cap,
Mid-Cap and Small-Cap Companies Risk.
The Fund’s investment in larger companies is subject to the risk that larger
companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful,
smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Securities of mid-cap and small-cap companies may be more volatile and less
liquid than the securities of large-cap companies.
Value-Style
Investing Risk.
The Fund’s value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic values
may not be recognized by the broad market or that their prices may
decline.
ETF
Risk.
The market price of an ETF will fluctuate based on changes in the ETF’s net
asset value as well as changes in the supply and demand of its shares in the
secondary market. It is also possible that an active secondary market
of 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. In addition, the Fund will bear its pro rata
portion of an ETF’s expenses and the Fund’s expenses may therefore be higher
than if it invested directly in securities.
Foreign
Securities Risk. Investments
in securities of foreign issuers involve risks not ordinarily associated with
investments in securities and instruments of U.S. issuers, including risks
relating to political, social and economic developments abroad; differences
between U.S. and foreign regulatory and accounting requirements; tax risks and
market practices; as well as fluctuations in foreign currencies. There may be
less information publicly available about foreign companies than about a U.S.
company, and many foreign companies are not subject to accounting, auditing, and
financial reporting standards, regulatory framework and practices comparable to
those in the U.S.
ADR
Risk.
ADRs are generally subject to the same risks as foreign securities because their
values depend on the performance of the underlying foreign securities. ADRs may
be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities. A sponsored
facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a
depositary, whereas a depositary may establish an unsponsored facility without
participation by the issuer of the depositary security. Holders of unsponsored
ADRs generally bear all the costs of such depositary receipts, and the issuers
of unsponsored ADRs frequently are under no obligation to distribute shareholder
communications received from the company that issues the underlying foreign
securities or to pass through voting rights to the holders of the ADRs. As a
result, there may not be a correlation between such information and the market
values of unsponsored ADRs.
Currency
Risk. When
the Fund buys or sells securities on a foreign stock exchange, the transaction
is undertaken in the local currency rather than in U.S. dollars, which carries
the risk that the value of the foreign currency will increase or decrease, which
may impact the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings and your investment.
Foreign countries may adopt economic policies and/or currency exchange controls
that affect its currency valuations in a disadvantageous manner for U.S.
investors and companies and restrict or prohibit the Fund’s ability to
repatriate both investment capital and income, which could place the Fund’s
assets in such country at risk of total loss.
Debt
Securities Risk. The
Fund’s investments in debt securities will be subject to credit risk, interest
rate risk, prepayment risk, and duration risk. Credit risk is the risk that an
issuer will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Interest rate
risk is the risk that the value of debt securities fluctuates with changes in
interest rates (e.g.,
increases in interest rates result in a decrease in value of debt securities).
The Fund will be exposed to heightened interest rate risk as interest rates rise
from historically low levels. Pre-payment risk is the risk that the principal on
debt securities will be paid off prior to maturity causing the Fund to invest in
debt securities with lower interest rates. Duration risk is the risk that
holding long duration and long maturity investments will magnify certain other
risks, including interest rate risk and credit risk.
Epidemic
Risk.
Widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics have been and can be
highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual
companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation
rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value
of the Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global
economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are
increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign
exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. These disruptions could
prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely
manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the
value and risk profile of the Fund.
Performance

Tax
Information
The
Fund’s distributions are generally taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income
or capital gains, unless you are a tax-exempt organization or are investing
through a tax-advantaged arrangement such as a 401(k) plan or IRA. Distributions
on investments made through tax-advantaged arrangements may be taxed as ordinary
income when withdrawn from those accounts.
Payments
to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
If
you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary
(such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund and/or its Adviser may pay the
intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments
may create conflicts 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.
Investment
Objectives, Strategies, Risks and Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings
The
Fund’s investment objectives are to maximize total after-tax return to its
shareholders through capital appreciation, and income from dividends and
interest, consistent with reasonable risk. The Fund’s investment objectives are
not fundamental, which means that they can be changed without shareholder
approval. However, shareholders will receive a 60 day notice prior to making any
changes to the Fund’s investment objectives.

Principal
Investment Strategies |
To
pursue its goal, the Fund principally invests in a diversified list of common
stocks. The Fund invests primarily in companies determined by the Adviser to be
highly profitable, yet undervalued. The Adviser looks for those companies it
believes to have above-average profitability, as measured by corporate return on
equity (“ROE”), and that sell at below-average prices as measured by price to
earnings ratios (“P/E”). To determine average profitability and average price,
the Adviser uses data produced by various independent research organizations.
Company size, based on market capitalization, is of little importance to the
Adviser. In pursuing its investment objectives, the Fund may also invest in
securities of foreign issuers, including ADRs.
The
Fund does not subscribe to the philosophy that stocks can be acquired and held
forever; however, the Adviser purchases stocks for the Fund that it generally
holds for three or more years. While short-term swings in the marketplace are
not ignored, they are subordinate to the quest for long-term
values.
The
Adviser believes that the success of a stock is dependent upon, and invariably a
reflection of, the quality of a company’s management. Therefore, the Adviser
assesses management’s ability prior to investing the Fund’s assets in a
particular company. The Adviser’s assessment may include an analysis of
historical financial achievements of the company, direct discussions with
management, visits to the company, conversations with security analysts who
actively follow the company, and discussions with competitors, suppliers and
customers of the company.
The
Fund may purchase investment grade fixed-income or debt securities, of any
maturity or duration, from time to time as substitutes for stocks when the
Adviser determines that market conditions warrant their purchase.
The
Fund will sell a stock when the Adviser believes the company’s intrinsic value
has been fully realized by the market, earnings disappoint, growth prospects dim
due to changing market or economic conditions, the company falls short of the
Adviser’s expectations, or the Adviser finds a better investment.
The
Fund intends to invest for the long-term, but may sell stocks and other
securities regardless of how long they have been held. Over the Fund’s lifetime,
the average portfolio turnover rate has been less than 50% per
year.
Cash
or Similar Investments and Temporary Strategies of the Fund.
At the Adviser’s discretion, the Fund may invest in high-quality, short-term
debt securities and money market instruments for (i) temporary defensive
purposes in amounts up to 100% of the Fund’s assets in response to adverse
market, economic or political conditions and (ii) retaining flexibility in
meeting redemptions, paying expenses, and identifying and assessing investment
opportunities. These short-term debt securities and money market instruments
include cash, shares of other mutual funds, commercial paper, certificates of
deposit, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. government securities, and repurchase
agreements. To the extent that the Fund invests in money market mutual funds for
its cash position, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund
will bear its pro rata portion of such money market funds’ management fees and
operational expenses. Taking a temporary defensive position may result in the
Fund not achieving its investment objectives.

Principal
Risks of Investing in the Fund |
Before
investing in the Fund, you should carefully consider your own investment goals,
the amount of time you are willing to leave your money invested, and the amount
of risk you are willing to take. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a
bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other governmental
agency. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment
objective. Remember, in addition to possibly not achieving your investment
goals, you
could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.
The principal risks of investing in the Fund are:
General
Market Risk.
The NAV and investment return of the Fund will fluctuate based upon changes in
the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. 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 the 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 the 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 affected 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 the Fund may
increase. Continuing market problems may have adverse effects on the
Fund.
Management
Risk. The
ability of the Fund to meet its investment objectives is directly related to the
Adviser’s investment strategies for the Fund. The value of your investment in
the Fund may vary with the effectiveness of the Adviser’s research, analysis and
asset allocation among portfolio securities. If the Adviser’s investment
strategies do not produce the expected results, the value of your investment may
diminish or even be lost entirely and the Fund could underperform other mutual
funds with similar investment objectives.
Equity
Securities Risk.
The Fund’s investments in equity securities are susceptible to general stock
market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market
confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor
perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors including:
expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies;
inflation and interest rates; economic expansion or contraction; global and/or
regional political, economic and banking crises; and factors affecting specific
industries, sectors or companies in which the Fund invests. The Fund’s net asset
value and investment return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of
its portfolio securities.
Large-Cap
Company Risk.
The Fund’s investments in larger, more established companies are subject to the
risk that larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates
of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic
expansion. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond
quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in consumer tastes or
innovative smaller competitors, potentially resulting in lower markets for their
common stock.
Mid-Cap
and Small-Cap Companies Risk. The
mid-cap and small-cap companies in which the Fund invests may not have the
management experience, financial resources, product diversification and
competitive strengths of large-cap companies. Therefore, their securities may be
more volatile and less liquid than the securities of larger, more established
companies. Mid-cap and small-cap company stocks may also be bought and sold less
often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if the
Adviser wants to sell a large quantity of a mid-cap or small-cap company stock,
it may have to sell at a lower price than it would prefer, or it may have to
sell in smaller than desired quantities over a period of time. Analysts and
other investors may follow these companies less actively and therefore
information about these companies may not be as readily available as it is for
large-cap companies. The risks associated with securities of mid-cap and
small-cap companies magnify as a company’s market capitalization becomes
smaller.
Value-Style
Investing Risk.
The Fund’s investments in value stocks may react differently to issuer,
political, market, and economic developments than the general market and
investments in other types of stocks. Value stocks tend to be inexpensive
relative to their earnings or assets compared to other types of stocks. However,
value stocks may continue to be inexpensive for long periods of time and may not
ever realize their full value. Also, if the market does not consider a stock to
be undervalued, then the value of the stock may decline even if stock prices are
generally rising.
ETF
Risk.
Because the Fund invests in ETFs, it is subject to additional risks that do not
apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of
an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its NAV per share, an active
secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, and trading may be
halted by, or the ETF may be delisted from, the exchange in which they trade,
which may impact the Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The lack of
liquidity in a particular ETF could result in it being more volatile than the
ETF’s underlying portfolio of securities. ETFs are also subject to
the risks of the underlying securities or sectors the ETF is designed to track
and there are brokerage commissions paid in connection with buying or selling
ETF shares. In addition, ETFs have management fees and other
expenses.
The Fund will bear its pro rata portion of these expenses and therefore the
Fund’s expenses may be higher than if it invested directly in
securities.
Foreign
Securities Risk. The
risks of investing in securities of foreign companies involves risks not
generally associated with investments in securities of U.S. companies, including
risks relating to political, social and economic developments abroad and
differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory requirements and market
practices. Securities that are denominated in foreign currencies are subject to
the further risk that the value of the foreign currency will fall in relation to
the U.S. dollar and/or will be affected by volatile currency markets or actions
of U.S. and foreign governments or central banks. Foreign securities may be
subject to greater fluctuations in price than securities of U.S. companies
because foreign markets may be smaller and less liquid than U.S. markets. There
may be less information publicly available about foreign companies than about a
U.S. company, and many foreign companies are not subject to accounting,
auditing, and financial reporting standards, regulatory framework and practices
comparable to those in the U.S. Ongoing concerns regarding the economies of
certain European countries and/or their sovereign debt, as well as the
possibility that one or more countries might leave the European Union (the
“EU”), create risks for investing in the EU. In 2020, the United Kingdom (the
“UK”) withdrew from the EU (known as “Brexit”). As a result of Brexit, the
financial markets experienced high levels of volatility and there is still
uncertainty as to the arrangements that will apply to the UK’s relationship with
the EU and other countries going forward. This prolonged uncertainty may affect
other countries in the EU and elsewhere. The exit by the UK or other member
states, will likely result in increased uncertainty, volatility, illiquidity and
potentially lower economic growth in the affected markets.
ADR
Risk.
ADRs are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities because
their values depend on the performance of the underlying foreign securities.
ADRs may be purchased through “sponsored” or “unsponsored” facilities. A
sponsored facility is established jointly by the issuer of the underlying
security and a depositary, whereas a depositary may establish an unsponsored
facility without participation by the issuer of the depositary security. Holders
of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of such depositary receipts,
and the issuers of unsponsored ADRs frequently are under no obligation to
distribute shareholder communications received from the company that issues the
underlying foreign securities or to pass through voting rights to the holders of
the ADRs. As a result, there may not be a correlation between such information
and the market values of unsponsored ADRs.
Currency
Risk. When
the Fund buys or sells securities on a foreign stock exchange, the transaction
is undertaken in the local currency rather than in U.S. dollars. In purchasing
or selling local currency to execute transactions on foreign exchanges, the Fund
will be exposed to the risk that the value of the foreign currency will increase
or decrease, which may impact the value of the Fund’s portfolio holdings. Some
countries have and may continue to adopt internal economic policies that affect
its currency valuations in a manner that may be disadvantageous for U.S.
investors or U.S. companies seeking to do business in those countries. In
addition, a country may impose formal or informal currency exchange controls.
These controls may restrict or prohibit the Fund’s ability to repatriate both
investment capital and income, which could undermine the value of the Fund’s
portfolio holdings and potentially place the Fund’s assets at risk of total
loss.
Debt
Securities Risks. Debt
securities are subject to the following risks:
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 the Fund would
then be forced to invest the unanticipated proceeds at lower interest rates,
resulting in a decline in its income.
Credit
Risk.
Issuers of debt securities may be unable 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 issuer to pay back debt.
The degree of credit risk for a particular security may be reflected in its
credit rating. Lower rated debt securities involve greater credit risk,
including the possibility of default or bankruptcy.
Interest
Rate Risk. Debt
securities could lose value because of interest rate changes. For example, bonds
tend to decrease in value if interest rates rise. Debt securities with longer
maturities sometimes offer higher yields, but are subject to greater price
shifts as a result of interest rate changes than debt securities with shorter
maturities. The Fund will be exposed to heightened interest rate risk as
interest rates rise from historically low levels. Substantial redemptions from
bond and other income funds may worsen that impact. Other types of securities
also may be adversely affected from an increase in interest rates.
Reinvestment
Risk.
If the Fund reinvests the proceeds of matured or sold securities at market
interest rates that are below its portfolio earnings rate, its income will
decline.
Prepayment
Risk and Extension Risk.
Prepayment occurs when the issuer of a debt security repays principal prior to
the security’s maturity. During periods of declining interest rates, issuers may
increase pre-payments of principal, which may in turn cause the Fund to invest
in debt securities with lower yields, thus reducing income generation.
Similarly, during periods of increasing interest rates, issuers may decrease
pre-payments of principal, thereby extending the duration of debt securities
potentially to maturity. This is known as extension risk and may increase the
Fund’s sensitivity to rising rates and the potential for price declines. Debt
securities with longer maturities are subject to greater price shifts as a
result of interest rate changes. Also, if the Fund is unable to liquidate lower
yielding securities to take advantage of a higher interest rate environment, its
ability to generate income may be adversely affected. The potential impact of
prepayment features on the price of a debt security can be difficult to predict
and result in greater volatility.
Duration
Risk.
The Fund has no set policy regarding the maturity or duration of any or all of
its securities. Holding long duration and long maturity investments will magnify
certain risks, including interest rate risk and credit risk.
Epidemic
Risk.
Widespread disease, including pandemics and epidemics have been and can be
highly disruptive to economies and markets, adversely impacting individual
companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation
rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value
of the Fund’s investments. Given the increasing interdependence among global
economies and markets, conditions in one country, market, or region are
increasingly likely to adversely affect markets, issuers, and/or foreign
exchange rates in other countries, including the U.S. These disruptions could
prevent the Fund from executing advantageous investment decisions in a timely
manner and negatively impact the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment
objectives. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the
value and risk profile of the Fund.
A
description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure
of the Fund’s portfolio holdings is available in the Fund’s Statement of
Additional Information (“SAI”).
Management
of the Fund
The
Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Advisory Agreement”),
on behalf of the Fund, with Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc.
located
at 5000 Stonewood Drive, Suite 300, Wexford, Pennsylvania, 15090-8395.
Established in 1977, the Adviser is an SEC-registered investment adviser that
provides investment advisory services to corporations, individuals, pension and
profit-sharing plans, and endowment funds. As of March 31, 2023, the Adviser’s
assets under management were approximately $395 million. Under the Advisory
Agreement, the Adviser manages the Fund’s investments subject to the supervision
of the Board.
The
Adviser has overall supervisory responsibility for the general management and
investment of the Fund’s securities portfolio. The Adviser also furnishes the
Fund with office space and certain administrative services and provides most of
the personnel needed to fulfill its obligations under its Advisory Agreement.
For its services, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee that is
calculated at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up
to $300 million, 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on the next $200
million, and 0.90% of the Fund’s average daily net assets on the balance.
For
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser received management fees of
0.88% of the Fund’s average daily net assets after application of the Operating
Expenses Limitation Agreement.
Fund
Expenses.
The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. Pursuant to an Operating
Expenses Limitation Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of
the Fund, the Adviser has agreed to waive its management fees, and pay Fund
expenses, in order to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses
(excluding AFFE, leverage/borrowing interest, interest expense, taxes, brokerage
commissions, and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 1.20% of the Fund’s
average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”). Management 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 the recoupment. The
Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is indefinite, but cannot be terminated
through at least April 30, 2024. Thereafter,
the agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days’ written notice by the
Board or the Adviser.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Fund’s Board of Trustees’ (“Board”)
approval of the Fund’s investment advisory agreement with the Adviser is
available in the Fund’s Semi-Annual Report to shareholders for the period ended
June 30, 2022.
The
Fund, as a series of the Trust, does not hold itself out as related to any other
series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor does
it share the same investment adviser with any other series.
Jeffrey
P. Muhlenkamp
Mr.
Jeffrey P. Muhlenkamp served as the lead portfolio manager of the Fund as of
February 2019, and has served as co-manager of the Fund since November 2013, and
has served as an analyst of the Adviser since 2008.
Mr.
Muhlenkamp holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from the
United States Military Academy and an MA in Organizational Leadership from
Chapman University, and he has earned the CFA Institute’s designation as a
Chartered Financial Analyst®.
His long-term investment assets are also invested in the Fund.
In
addition to the above duties, Mr. Muhlenkamp serves as the principal in charge
of all of the Adviser’s investment management and research
activities.
The
SAI provides additional information about the portfolio manager’s compensation,
other accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the portfolio manager’s
ownership of shares of the Fund.
Mr.
Ronald H. Muhlenkamp had served as portfolio manager of the Fund since its
inception in 1988. He retired as Portfolio Manager on February 15, 2019; but
retains majority ownership of Muhlenkamp & Company, Inc. and serves as its
Chairman of the Board.
Shareholder
Information
The
price of the Fund’s shares is the Fund’s NAV per share, which is calculated by
dividing its total assets, less its liabilities, by the number of shares
outstanding. The NAV is calculated at the close of regular trading of the NYSE,
which is generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. The NAV will not be calculated nor
may investors purchase or redeem Fund shares on days that the NYSE is closed for
trading, even though certain securities (i.e.,
foreign or debt securities) may trade on days the NYSE is closed, and such
trading may materially affect the Fund’s NAV.
The
Fund’s assets are generally valued at their market price using valuations
provided by independent pricing services. When market quotations are not readily
available, a security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined
under fair value pricing procedures adopted by the Adviser and approved by the
Board of Trustees. 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 the security, and ultimately the Fund, is
accurately priced. The Board will regularly evaluate whether the Adviser’s fair
value pricing procedures continue to be appropriate in light of the specific
circumstances of the Fund and the quality of prices obtained through the
application of such procedures by the Adviser's valuation designee.
When
fair value pricing is employed, security prices that the Fund uses to calculate
its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities. Due
to the subjective and variable nature of fair
value
pricing, it is possible that the fair value price determined for a particular
security may be materially different (higher or lower) from the price of the
security quoted or published by others and/or from the value when trading
resumes or realized upon its sale. Therefore, if a shareholder purchases or
redeems Fund shares when the Fund holds securities priced at fair value, the
number of shares purchased or redeemed may be higher or lower than it would be
if the Fund were using market value pricing.
In
the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of certain events after the close
of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Fund’s NAV is calculated (such as
a significant surge or decline in the U.S. or other markets) often will result
in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign
markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, the Fund will
value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events, in
calculating the NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an
investor’s ability to profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV in advance of the time
the NAV is calculated. The Adviser anticipates that the Fund’s portfolio
holdings will be priced at fair value only if market quotations for those
holdings are unavailable or considered unreliable.

How
to Purchase Fund Shares |
Shares
of the Fund are purchased at the next NAV per share calculated after your
purchase order is received in good order by the Fund (as defined below). Shares
may be purchased directly from the Fund or through a financial intermediary,
including but not limited to, certain brokers, financial planners, financial
advisors, banks, insurance companies, retirement, benefit and pension plans or
certain packaged investment products.
Shares
of the Fund have not been registered and are not offered for sale outside of the
United States. The Fund generally does 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 both 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
Fund and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global
Fund Services, the Fund’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), will not be
responsible for any losses, liability, cost or expense resulting from rejecting
any purchase order.
Investment
Minimums.
The minimum initial investment amount is $1,500, or $200 for those accounts
participating in the Automatic Investment Plan. The minimum investment amount
for subsequent investments is $50. The Adviser reserves the right to waive the
minimum initial investment or minimum subsequent investment amounts at its
discretion. Shareholders will be given at least 30 days’ written notice of any
increase in the minimum dollar amount of initial or subsequent
investments.
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
Fund’s Transfer Agent. Your financial intermediary holds the shares in your name
and receives all confirmations of purchases and sales from the Fund. Your
financial intermediary may charge for the services that it provides to you in
connection with processing your transaction order or maintaining your account
with them.
If
you place an order for the 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 NAV
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 NAV next calculated after the Transfer Agent receives your
order from your financial intermediary. Your financial intermediary must agree
to send to the Transfer Agent immediately available funds in the amount of the
purchase price in accordance with the Transfer Agent’s procedures. If payment is
not received within the time specified, 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.
Purchase
Requests Must be Received in Good Order
Your
share price will be based on the next NAV per share calculated after the
Transfer Agent or your Authorized Intermediary receives your purchase request in
good order. “Good order” means that your purchase request includes:
•The
name of the Fund;
•The
dollar amount of shares to be purchased;
•Your
account application or Invest By Mail form that is attached to your confirmation
statement; and
•A
check payable to the Muhlenkamp Fund.
An
Account Application to purchase Fund shares is subject to acceptance by the Fund
and is not binding until so accepted. The 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 the Fund.
Purchases may also be rejected from persons believed to be “market-timers,” as
described under “Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions,” below. Accounts opened
by entities, such as credit unions, 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 the 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 NAV next calculated after receipt. Purchase requests received after the
close of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) will be priced on the
next business day.
Purchase
by Mail. To
purchase Fund shares by mail, simply complete and sign the Account Application
and mail it, along with a check made payable to the Fund:

The
Fund does not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery
services to be its agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services,
or receipt at U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC post office box, of purchase
orders or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent.
Receipt of purchase orders 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 Fund will not
accept payment in cash or money orders. To prevent check fraud, the Fund will
not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s
checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. The Fund is unable to
accept post-dated checks, or any conditional order or payment.
Purchase
by Wire.
If you are making your first investment in the 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 applicable address above. 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 800-860-3863 to advise
them of the wire and to ensure proper credit upon receipt. Your bank must
include the name of the Fund, your name and your account number so that your
wire can be correctly applied. Your bank should transmit immediately available

Wired
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 Fund and U.S. Bank N.A.,
the Fund’s 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 or Internet.
You
may not make initial purchases of Fund shares by telephone or
Internet.
If
you have accepted telephone or online account access on your Account Application
or have been authorized to perform telephone or Internet transactions by
subsequent arrangement in writing with the Fund and your account has been open
for at least seven business days, you may purchase additional
shares
by telephoning the Fund toll free at 800-860-3863 or logging onto the Fund’s
website (http://muhlenkamp.com/muhlx/). 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 or Internet transactions. The
minimum telephone or Internet purchase amount is $50. 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 NAV determined on the day your order is
placed. During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter
higher than usual call waiting or Internet processing times. Please allow
sufficient time to place your telephone or Internet transaction. The Fund is 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).
For
transactions conducted over the Internet, we recommend the use of a secure
Internet browser. In addition, you should verify the accuracy of your
confirmation statements immediately after you receive them. If an account has
more than one owner or authorized person, the Fund will accept telephone or
Internet instructions from any one owner or authorized person.
Subsequent
Investments. The
minimum subsequent investment amount is $50. Shareholders will be given at least
30 days’ written notice of any increase in the minimum dollar amount of
subsequent investments. You may add to your account at any time by purchasing
shares by mail, by telephone, Internet, or wire. You must call to notify the
Fund at 800-860-3863 before wiring. An Invest by Mail form, which is attached to
each confirmation statement received from the Transfer Agent, 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.
Automatic
Investment Plan.
For your convenience, the Fund offers an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”).
Under the AIP, after your initial investment, you may authorize the Fund to
automatically withdraw any amount of at least $50 per month from your personal
checking or savings account that you wish to invest in the Fund. 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, complete the appropriate section in the Account
Application or the Account Options Form. The 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.
Individual
Retirement Accounts (IRAs). The
Fund offers IRAs, including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE-IRAs,
and Spousal IRAs. If you wish to open an IRA, visit
https://muhlenkamp.com/muhlx/ for additional information and the necessary forms
or call the Fund at 800-860-3863. IRAs established directly with the Transfer
Agent are subject to an annual IRA maintenance fee, as discussed in the Fund’s
IRA Disclosure Statement and Custodial Account Agreement. The Transfer Agent
does not charge annual IRA maintenance fees for IRAs established directly with
the Transfer Agent with an account balance of at least $50,000.
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, 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 of 2001 and other applicable anti-money
laundering laws and regulations, please note that 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 Fund reserves the right to
request additional clarifying information and may close your account if such
clarifying information is not received by the Fund within a reasonable time of
the request or if the Fund 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
800-860-3863.
Cancellations
or Modifications.
The Fund will not accept a request to cancel or modify a written transaction
once processing has begun. Please exercise care when placing a transaction
request.

How
to Redeem Fund Shares |
In
general, orders to sell or “redeem” shares may be placed directly with the Fund
or through a financial intermediary. You may redeem all or part of your
investment in the Fund’s shares on any business day that the Fund calculates its
NAV.
However,
if you originally purchased your shares through a financial intermediary, your
redemption order must be placed with the same financial intermediary in
accordance with their 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.
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 the 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 Fund expects 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 Fund will typically borrow money through the Fund’s bank
line-of-credit. The Fund may also choose to sell portfolio assets for the
purpose of meeting such requests.
The
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;
•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.
Redemption
requests will not become effective until all documents have been received in
good form by the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may require additional
documents for the sales of shares by a corporation, partnership, agent,
fiduciary, surviving joint owner or from accounts with executors, trustees,
administrations or guardians. Shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent for
further information concerning documentation required for redemptions of Fund
shares. 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 Fund
is 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 Fund
typically sends 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 the Fund receives your redemption request. Under unusual circumstances,
the Fund 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, the 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 SEC may, by order, permit for the protection of
shareholders. Your ability to redeem shares by telephone or by Internet will be
restricted for 15 calendar days after you change your address. You may change
your address at any time by telephone, Internet 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 redemption 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;
•For
all redemptions in excess of $100,000 from any shareholder account.
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, the Fund and/or the Transfer Agent
reserve 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 may execute most redemptions by furnishing an unconditional written request
to the Fund to redeem your shares at the next calculated NAV per share upon
receipt of such request. Written redemption requests should be sent to the
Transfer Agent at:

or receipt at U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC post office box, of purchase
orders or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent
of the Fund. 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
or Internet Redemption. If
you have accepted telephone transactions on your Account Application or have
been authorized to perform telephone transactions by subsequent arrangement in
writing with the Fund, you may redeem shares, including shares held in IRAs and
other retirement plans, in amounts of $100,000 or less, by instructing the Fund
by telephone at 800-860-3863. Investors in an IRA or other retirement plan will
be asked whether or not to withhold federal income tax. If you have set up
Internet options on your account, you may also redeem up to $50,000 per day of
Fund shares through the Internet at https://muhlenkamp.com/muhlx/. IRA
redemptions cannot be accomplished via the internet.
In
order to qualify for, or to change, telephone or Internet 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.
Telephone redemptions will not be made if you have notified the Transfer Agent
of a change of address within 15 calendar days before the redemption request.
Shareholders may encounter higher than usual call waiting times or slow Internet
connectivity during periods of high market activity. Please allow sufficient
time to place your telephone or Internet transaction. The Fund is not
responsible for delays due to communication or transmission outages or
failures.
Note:
Neither the Fund nor any of its service providers will be liable for any loss or
expense in acting upon instructions that are reasonably believed to be genuine.
To confirm that all telephone instructions are genuine, the Fund will use
reasonable procedures, such as requesting that you correctly state:
•Your
Fund account number;
•The
name in which your 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 Fund will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized
person.
Systematic
Withdrawal Program.
The Fund offers a systematic withdrawal plan (the “SWP”) whereby shareholders or
their representatives may request that a redemption in any specific dollar
amount of at least $100 be sent to them each month, calendar quarter, or
annually. Investors may choose to have a check sent to the address of record, or
proceeds may be sent to a pre-designated bank account via the ACH network. Any
withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of Fund shares and will be
subject to IRS regulations. To start this program, your account must have Fund
shares with a value of at least $5,000 or be an IRA of any value. This program
may be terminated or modified by the Fund at any time. Any request to change or
terminate your SWP should be communicated in writing or by telephone to the
Transfer Agent no later than five days before the next scheduled withdrawal. In
addition, if the amount requested to be withdrawn exceeds the rate of growth of
assets in your account, including any dividends credited to your account, the
account will ultimately be depleted. To establish the SWP, complete the SWP

The
Fund’s Right to Redeem an Account and Charge Below Minimum Account
Fee.
The 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 the Fund. The Fund will provide the shareholder with written notice 30
days prior to redeeming the shareholder’s account. In addition, on or about
November 30th of each year, all accounts not enrolled in the AIP with balances
less than $1,500, other than as a result of a decline
in
the NAV of the Fund, will be charged a $15 fee. Such fees will be used to lower
Fund expenses. The Fund reviews accounts and charges this fee
annually.
Redemption-in-Kind.
The 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), the 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 the 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 $250,000 or 1% of the Fund’s net assets in
securities instead of cash. If the Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a
distribution of securities, you could incur taxes, brokerage commissions or
other charges in converting the securities to cash, and you will bear any market
risks associated with such securities until they are converted into
cash.
Cancellations
or Modifications.
The Fund will not accept a request to cancel or modify a written transaction
once processing has begun. Please exercise care when placing a transaction
request.

Dividends
and Distributions |
The
Fund will make distributions of net investment income and net capital gains, if
any, at least annually, typically during the month of December. The Fund may
make additional distributions if deemed to be desirable at other times during
the year.
All
distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the
following options: (1) receive distributions of net capital gains in cash,
while reinvesting net investment income distributions in additional Fund shares;
(2) receive all distributions in cash; (3) reinvest net capital gain
distributions in additional Fund shares, while receiving distributions of net
investment income in cash; or (4) receive a percentage of net capital gains
and/or net investment income distribution in cash, while reinvesting the balance
in additional Fund shares.
If
you wish to change your distribution option, write or call the Transfer Agent in
advance of the payment date of the distribution. However, any such change will
be effective only as to distributions for which the record date is five or more
calendar days after the Transfer Agent has received your request.
If
you elect to receive distributions in cash and the U.S. Postal Service is unable
to deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the Fund
reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account at the
Fund’s then current NAV per share and to reinvest all subsequent
distributions.

Tools
to Combat Frequent Transactions |
The
Fund is intended for long-term investors. Short-term “market-timers” who engage
in frequent purchases and redemptions may disrupt the Fund’s investment program
and create additional transaction costs that are borne by all of the Fund’s
shareholders. The Board of Trustees 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 Fund takes additional steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these
activities in the Fund. 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 Fund seeks
to exercise judgment in implementing these tools to the best of its ability and
in a manner that it believes is consistent with shareholder interests. Except as
noted herein, the Fund applies all restrictions uniformly in all applicable
cases.
Monitoring
Trading Practices.
The Fund monitors selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term
trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, the 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, the Fund
seeks to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests
of its shareholders. The Fund uses a variety of techniques to monitor for and
detect abusive trading practices. These techniques may change from time to time
as determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. To minimize harm to the Fund
and its shareholders, the 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. The 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.
The Fund employs fair value pricing selectively to ensure greater accuracy in
its daily NAV and to prevent dilution by frequent traders or market timers who
seek to take advantage of temporary market anomalies. The Board of Trustees 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 the Adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. There can be no assurance
that the 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 titled, “Pricing of Fund
Shares.”
Due
to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading
activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Fund handles, there can
be no assurance that the Fund’s efforts will identify all trades or trading
practices that may be considered abusive. In particular, since the Fund receives
purchase and sale orders through Authorized Intermediaries that use group or
omnibus accounts, the Fund cannot always detect frequent trading. However, the
Fund 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, the 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 Fund will use this information to attempt
to identify abusive trading practices. Authorized Intermediaries are
contractually required to follow any instructions from the Fund to restrict or
prohibit future purchases from shareholders that are found to have engaged in
abusive trading in violation of the Fund’s policies. However, the 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 Fund’s ability to monitor and discourage abusive trading practices
in non-disclosed and omnibus accounts may be limited.
Distributions
of the 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 the 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 that the 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
federal 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.
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 the Fund for the preceding year. Distributions by the Fund and gains from the
sale of Fund shares 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 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 advisor.
Telephone
and Internet Fraud. If
you accepted telephone or online account access transactions on your Account
Application or have been authorized to perform telephone or Internet
transactions by subsequent arrangement in writing with the Fund, you may be
responsible for any fraudulent telephone or Internet orders as long as the Fund
has taken reasonable precautions to verify your identity. In addition, once you
place a telephone transaction request, it cannot be canceled or modified after
the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Time).
During
periods of significant economic or market change, telephone transactions may be
difficult to complete. If you are unable to contact the Fund by telephone, you
may also mail the requests to the Fund at the address listed previously in the
“How to Purchase Shares” section.
Telephone
trades must be received by or prior to the close of the NYSE (generally 4:00
p.m., Eastern Time). Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be
able to complete your telephone transaction prior to the close of the
NYSE.
Policies
of Other Financial Intermediaries. Financial
intermediaries may establish policies that differ from those of the Fund. For
example, the institution may charge transaction fees, set higher minimum
investments or impose certain limitations on buying or selling shares in
addition to those identified in this Prospectus. Please contact your financial
intermediary for details.
Closing
the Fund. The
Adviser retains the right to close (or partially close) the Fund to new
purchases if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Fund’s
shareholders. Based on market and Fund conditions, the Adviser may decide to
close the Fund to new investors, all investors or certain classes of investors
(such as fund supermarkets) at any time. If the Fund is closed to new purchases,
it will continue to honor redemption requests, unless the right to redeem shares
has been temporarily suspended as permitted by federal law.
Householding.
In an effort to decrease costs, the Fund intends to reduce the number of
duplicate prospectuses and other similar documents you receive by sending only
one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to
shareholders the Fund reasonably believes are from the same family or household.
If you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call
toll-free at 800-860-3863 to request individual copies of these documents. Once
the Fund receives notice to stop householding, the Fund 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 maintains 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 it 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 800-860-3863 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.

Payments
to Financial Intermediaries |
The
Fund may pay service fees to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers,
financial advisors 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 Fund or its
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 the 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
Fund 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 Fund. 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.
Financial
Highlights

carry out their assigned responsibilities to the Fund. All shareholder records
will be disposed of in accordance with applicable law. The Fund maintains
physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your Personal
