SUMMARY SECTION
1919 Financial Services Fund
Investment Objective
The 1919 Financial Services Fund (the “Financial Services Fund”) seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.
Fees and Expenses of the Financial Services Fund
The accompanying table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Financial Services Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and the Example below.
You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (“1919ic” or the “Adviser”) family of funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary (banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, investment advisers, financial consultants or advisers, mutual fund supermarkets and other financial intermediaries) (each called a “Financial Intermediary”), in this Prospectus on page 43 under the heading “Sales Charges,” in Appendix A to this Prospectus – Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations, and in the Financial Services Fund’s statement of additional information (the “SAI”) on page 87 under the heading “Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions.”

1Although there is no front-end sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more, there is a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% if you redeem within 18 months of such a purchase. This charge is waived for certain investors as defined in the “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges” section on page 47 of this Prospectus.
2Because neither Class FI nor Class R shares had any operating results to report as of the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, “Other expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Financial Services Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Financial Services Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and the Financial Services Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and that you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge.

 Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Number of years you own your shares
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Class A (with or without redemption at end of period) $706 $981 $1,277 $2,116
Class C (with redemption at end of period) $311 $652 $1,119 $2,410
Class C (without redemption at end of period) $211 $652 $1,119 $2,410
Class FI (with or without redemption at end of period) $137 $428 $739 $1,624
Class R (with or without redemption at end of period) $163 $505 $871 $1,900
Class I (with or without redemption at end of period) $112 $350 $606 $1,340
Portfolio turnover
The Financial Services 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 shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Financial Services Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 4% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
Under normal circumstances, the Financial Services Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers in the financial services industry that the Adviser believes are undervalued and thus may offer above-average potential for capital appreciation. Issuers in the financial services industry include companies that derive more than 50% of their revenues from providing products and services to the financial services industry, including software, hardware, publishing, news services, credit research and ratings services, internet services and business services. The Financial Services Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization.
The Adviser analyzes an issuer’s financial statements to determine earnings per share potential and reviews, as appropriate, the economy where the issuer does business, the products offered, the issuer’s potential to benefit from industry changes and the strength and goals of management.
The Financial Services Fund may invest its assets in securities of foreign financial services companies, including companies in emerging market countries. The Financial Services Fund may invest in fixed income securities, including high yield securities or “junk bonds.” The Financial Services Fund may invest in shares of open-end funds or unit investment trusts that are traded on a stock exchange, called exchange traded funds (“ETFs”).
The Financial Services Fund may engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives, such as futures and options on securities, securities indexes or currencies; options on these futures; interest rate or currency swaps; and forward foreign currency transactions for any of the following purposes: to settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies; as a hedging technique in an attempt to manage risk in the Financial Services Fund’s portfolio; as a substitute for buying or selling securities, as a cash flow management technique, and to manage its exposure to foreign securities.
Principal Risks
Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the Financial Services Fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the Financial Services Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Financial Services Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the Financial Services Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a ‘principal risk’ of investing in the Financial Services Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
2


Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the United States and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.
Credit risk. If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Financial Services Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Financial Services Fund could decline. If the Financial Services Fund enters into financial contracts (such as certain derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the Financial Services Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Financial Services Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Financial Services Fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Financial Services Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Derivatives risk. The use of derivative instruments exposes the Financial Services Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. These instruments come in many varieties and have a wide range of potential risks and rewards and may include futures contracts, options (both written and purchased), swaps and forward currency exchange contracts. A risk of the Financial Services Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.
ETF risk. Investing in an ETF will give the Financial Services Fund exposure to the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and will expose the Fund to risks similar to those of investing directly in those securities. Unlike shares of typical mutual funds or unit investment trusts, shares of ETFs are traded on an exchange and may trade throughout a trading day. ETFs are bought and sold based on market values and not at net asset value, and therefore, may trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. The Financial Services Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the management fees and other expenses that are charged by the ETF in addition to the management fees and other expenses directly incurred by the Financial Services Fund. As a result, with respect to the Financial Services Fund’s investment in ETFs, shareholders will be subject to two layers of fees and expenses in connection with their investment in the Financial Services Fund. The Financial Services Fund will also pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs.
Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline. This may cause the Financial Services Fund’s share prices to be more volatile.
Financial services companies risk. The Financial Services Fund is subject to the risk of concentrating investments in financial services companies, which makes it more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers within that industry than would a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio of securities. Economic downturns, credit losses and severe price competition can negatively affect this industry. The profitability of financial services companies is dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Financial services companies are also subject to extensive government regulation. The impact of recent legislation on any individual company or on the industry as a whole cannot be predicted.
Fixed income securities risk. Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Financial Services Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the
3


lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline. These risks are heightened with respect to high yield securities.
Foreign investments and emerging markets risk. The Financial Services Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Financial Services Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Financial Services Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Financial Services Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk. Some assets held by the Financial Services Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. If the Financial Services Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Financial Services Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Prepayment or call risk. Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if the Financial Services Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, the Financial Services Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if the Financial Services Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Financial Services Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Financial Services Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
4


In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Financial Services Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the Financial Services Fund’s investments in equity securities may decline generally. Equity securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Financial Services Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Financial Services Fund will decline. Volatility in the securities market may make it more difficult for the Financial Services Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. Market volatility may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the value of securities owned by the Financial Services Fund and the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares.
Tax risk. If positions held by the Financial Services Fund were treated as “straddles” for federal income tax purposes, or the Financial Services Fund’s risk of loss with respect to a position was otherwise diminished as set forth in Treasury regulations, dividends on stocks that are a part of such positions would not constitute qualified dividend income subject to such favorable income tax treatment in the hands of non-corporate shareholders or eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, generally, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of the Financial Services Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Financial Services Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Financial Services Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem Financial Services Fund shares on days when the Financial Services Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Financial Services Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Value investing risk. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued. Value stocks may underperform the overall equity market while the market concentrates on growth stocks.
Performance
The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Financial Services Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Financial Services Fund’s performance from year to year for Class I shares. The table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Financial Services Fund and also compares the Financial Services Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of a domestic broad-based index and a secondary index reflecting the market sector in which the Fund primarily invests. The S&P Financials Index is a subset of, and one of eleven sectors in, the S&P 500 Index. Performance for classes other than those shown may vary from the performance shown to the extent the expenses for those classes differ. The Financial Services Fund makes updated performance information available at www.1919funds.com or by calling the Financial Services Fund at 1‑844‑828‑1919.
The performance of shares of the Financial Services Fund for the period prior to November 7, 2014, reflects the performance of the Legg Mason Investment Counsel Financial Services Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Financial Services Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund that had used substantially similar investment strategies. At completion of the reorganization on November 7, 2014, Class A, Class C, and Class I of the Financial Services Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of the Predecessor Fund’s corresponding class of shares.

Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Financial Services Fund will perform in the future. Sales charges are not reflected in the accompanying bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

The after-tax returns are shown only for Class I shares, are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). After-tax returns for classes other than Class I will vary from returns shown for Class I. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Tax Information
The Financial Services Fund’s distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gain. Some distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes. If you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or IRA, you will generally not be subject to federal taxation on Fund distributions until you begin receiving distributions from your tax-deferred arrangement.
Payments to Broker/Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries
The Financial Services Fund and its related companies may pay broker/dealers or other Financial Intermediaries (such as a bank or an insurance company) for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments create a conflict of interest by influencing your broker/dealer or other intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or salesperson or visit your Financial Intermediary’s or salesperson’s website for more information.

SUMMARY SECTION
1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
Investment Objective
The 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the “Socially Responsive Fund” or the “Fund”) seeks to provide high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income.
Fees and Expenses of the Socially Responsive Balanced Fund
The accompanying table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Socially Responsive Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and the Example below.
You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (“1919ic” or the “Adviser”) family of funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, investment advisers, financial consultants or advisers, mutual fund supermarkets and other financial intermediaries) (each called a “Financial Intermediary”), in this Prospectus on page 43 under the heading “Sales Charges,” in Appendix A to this Prospectus – Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations, and in the Socially Responsive Fund’s statement of additional information (the “SAI”) on page 87 under the heading “Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions.”

1Although there is no front-end sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more, there is a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% if you redeem within 18 months of such a purchase. This charge is waived for certain investors as defined in the “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges” section on page 47 of this Prospectus.
2Because neither Class FI nor Class R shares had any operating results to report as of the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, “Other expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
3Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the “Gross Expenses” or “Net Expenses” provided in the Financial Highlights because the Financial Highlights reflect the operating expenses of the Fund and do not include 0.01% that is attributed to acquired fund fees and expenses.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Socially Responsive Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Socially Responsive Fund for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and the Socially Responsive Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge.
8


Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Number of years you own your shares
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Class A (with or without redemption at end of period) $669 $869 $1,086 $1,707
Class C (with redemption at end of period) $274 $539 $928 $2,019
Class C (without redemption at end of period) $174 $539 $928 $2,019
Class FI (with or without redemption at end of period) $100 $312 $542 $1,201
Class R (with or without redemption at end of period) $125 $390 $676 $1,489
Class I (with or without redemption at end of period) $75 $233 $406 $906
Portfolio turnover. The Socially Responsive 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 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Socially Responsive Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Socially Responsive Fund invests in a mix of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies of any market capitalization and fixed income securities which are primarily investment grade and may be of any maturity and any duration. Under normal circumstances, the Socially Responsive Fund will maintain at least 65% of the value of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of the value of its assets in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities include asset- and mortgage-backed securities. The Socially Responsive Fund may invest up to 25% (and generally less than 15%) in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging market countries. The Socially Responsive Fund emphasizes companies that offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate an awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.
The portfolio managers consider whether, relative to other companies in an industry, a company that meets these investment criteria is also sensitive to environmental and social issues related to its products, services, or methods of doing business.
Socially responsive factors considered are:
Fair and reasonable employment practices, with due consideration of a diverse workforce
Contributions to the general well-being of the citizens of its host communities and countries and respect for human rights
Efforts and strategies to minimize the negative impact of business activities and to preserve the earth’s ecological heritage with those environmental policies, practices and procedures that are currently acceptable, or are exhibiting improvement
Exposure to fossil fuel real assets including oil, gas and coal
Avoidance of investments in companies that:
Manufacture nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production and sale of non-nuclear weaponry
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production or sales of tobacco
The portfolio managers perform their own independent review of issuers based on the above factors and every investment the Fund makes is reviewed against these factors (excluding securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies). In conducting this review, portfolio managers will seek to understand the business profile of an issuer and to identify any concerns relating to the above factors relative to established industry norms. This review is a fundamental, qualitative analysis based on third-party data, publicly available information and issuer disclosures and is not based on any pre-established quantitative screens with respect to any particular data.
9


With respect to “fair and reasonable employment practices,” the portfolio managers will assess whether a company has public labor relations issues, such as lawsuits, workplace accidents, or union-related disputes. In considering a company’s “contribution to the general well-being of citizens,” the portfolio managers assess whether a company has existing conflicts or controversies with the communities or citizens thereof in which it operates. Similarly, in assessing whether a company’s business activities have a “negative impact,” the portfolio managers review whether a company has had disclosed or public controversies or conflicts with respect to its local environment.
The Fund also assesses control of or exposure to fossil fuel real assets by evaluating a company’s ownership interest in oil, gas, and/or coal assets and to what degree the company’s business is dependent on the extraction, transportation, processing, and/or distribution of oil, gas, and/or coal. In making these assessments, the portfolio managers may review sources of revenue, capital expense, planned and implemented investments, company strategic direction or other relevant factors.
Socially responsive factors are not the exclusive considerations in investment decisions but companies that are not, in the view of the portfolio managers, satisfying the above factors -- or making efforts to satisfy the above factors -- consistent with applicable industry norms will not be purchased. These portfolio restrictions are based on the belief that a company will benefit from being socially responsive by enabling it to better position itself in developing business opportunities while avoiding liabilities that may be incurred when a product or service is determined to have a negative social impact.
The portfolio managers will use their best efforts to assess a company’s environmental and social performance. This means that there is no guarantee that the Adviser’s research process will uncover material factors that a company fails to disclose. This analysis will be based on a company’s present activities, and will not preclude securities solely because of past activities. The portfolio managers will monitor the related progress or deterioration of each company in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. The Adviser will sell a portfolio security that no longer meets the factors described above, but such a decision may also be based on the Adviser’s fundamental equity and fixed income research process.
Principal Risks
Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the Socially Responsive Fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the Socially Responsive Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Socially Responsive Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the Socially Responsive Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a ‘principal risk’ of investing in the Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
Credit risk. If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Socially Responsive Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Fund could decline. If the Socially Responsive Fund enters into financial contracts (such as repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the Socially Responsive Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Socially Responsive Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Socially Responsive Fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of
10


the United States and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.
Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities, particularly asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline more than they would have declined due to the rise in interest rates alone. This may cause the Socially Responsive Fund’s share price to be more volatile.
Fixed income securities risk. Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline.
Foreign investments and emerging market risk. The Socially Responsive Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Socially Responsive Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Socially Responsive Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk. Some assets held by the Socially Responsive Fund may be impossible or difficult to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. These illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. If the Socially Responsive Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Socially Responsive Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
11


In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Socially Responsive Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and other Asset-Backed Securities risk. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or may be issued by private issuers, generally originators in mortgage loans, including savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers, and special purpose entities (collectively, “private lenders”). The purchase of mortgage-backed securities from private lenders may entail greater risk than mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Mortgage-backed securities risks include the failure of a party to meet its commitments under the related operative documents, adverse interest rate changes and the effects of prepayments on mortgage cash flows.
Asset-backed securities are securities backed by credit card receivables, automobile loans or other assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which have given debtors the right to reduce the balance due on the credit cards. Asset-backed securities may be subject to greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other instruments.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) risk. RMBS are subject to delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower’s financial circumstances. Subprime loans are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their loans. RMBS backed by subprime loans may suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults or the increased risk of default.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector or region, or about market movements is incorrect.
Prepayment or call risk. Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if the Socially Responsive Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, the Socially Responsive Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if the Socially Responsive Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Socially Responsive Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Socially responsive criteria risk. The Socially Responsive Fund’s universe of investments may be smaller than that of other funds because of the Socially Responsive Fund’s socially responsive criteria. Socially responsive companies may underperform similar companies without socially responsive policies or the market as a whole. They may also fall out of favor with investors. The Socially Responsive Fund’s socially responsive criteria may also prevent investment in certain attractive opportunities that would be otherwise consistent with the Socially Responsive Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies.
Socially responsive information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s socially responsive characteristics. Additionally, the third-party data providers may differ in the data they provide for a given company or industry, and such data may only take into account one of many socially responsive characteristics of a company.
12


Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investments in equity securities may decline generally. Equity securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Socially Responsive Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Socially Responsive Fund will decline.
Volatility in the securities market may make it more difficult for the Socially Responsive Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. Market volatility may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the value of securities owned by the Socially Responsive Fund and the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Socially Responsive Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Socially Responsive Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the Socially Responsive Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Socially Responsive Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Performance
The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Socially Responsive Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Socially Responsive Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Socially Responsive Fund that has been in operation for at least one full calendar year and also compares the Socially Responsive Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark. The table compares the Socially Responsive Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of the S&P 500 Index, a domestic broad-based equity index, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a fixed income index, and a 70%/30% blend of the two indexes. The blended index provides Socially Responsive Fund shareholders with a more meaningful comparison than does the standalone performance of either the S&P 500 Index or the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Performance for classes other than those shown may vary from the performance shown to the extent the expenses for those classes differ. The Socially Responsive Fund makes updated performance information available at www.1919funds.com or by calling the Socially Responsive Fund at 1‑844‑828‑1919.
The performance of shares of the Socially Responsive Fund for the period prior to November 7, 2014, reflects the performance of the Legg Mason Investment Counsel Social Awareness Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Socially Responsive Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund that had used substantially similar investment strategies and had the same portfolio management team. At completion of the reorganization on November 7, 2014, Class A, Class C, and Class I of the Socially Responsive Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of the Predecessor Fund’s shares.
Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Socially Responsive Fund will perform in the future. Sales charges are not reflected in the accompanying bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

The after-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares, are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and the after-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or IRAs. After-tax returns for classes other than Class A will vary from returns shown for Class A. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Tax Information
The Socially Responsive Fund’s distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income, qualified dividend income or capital gain. Some distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes.

Payments to Broker/Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries
The Socially Responsive Fund and its related companies may pay broker/dealers or other Financial Intermediaries (such as a bank or an insurance company) for the sale of fund shares, shareholder services and other purposes. These payments create a conflict of interest by influencing your broker/dealer or other intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or salesperson or visit your Financial Intermediary’s or salesperson’s website for more information.

SUMMARY SECTION
1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund
Investment Objective
The 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund (the “Maryland Fund”) seeks a high level of current income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes, consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital.
Fees and Expenses of the Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund
The accompanying table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Maryland Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and the Example below.
You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $25,000 in the 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (“1919ic” or the “Adviser”) family of funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial intermediary banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, investment advisers, financial consultants or advisers, mutual fund supermarkets and other financial intermediaries) (each called a “Financial Intermediary”), in this Prospectus on page 43 under the heading “Sales Charges,” in Appendix A to this Prospectus – Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations, and in the Maryland Fund’s statement of additional information (the “SAI”) on page 87 under the heading “Sales Charge Waivers and Reductions.”

Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after waiving fees/reimbursing expenses 0.75% 1.30% 0.85% 0.60%
1Although there is no front-end sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more, there is a maximum deferred sales charge of 1.00% if you redeem within 18 months of such a purchase. This charge is waived for certain investors as defined in the “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges” section on page 47 of this Prospectus.
2Because Class FI shares did not have any operating results to report as of the Fund’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, “Other expenses” are based on estimated amounts for the current fiscal year.
31919ic has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (other than interest, brokerage commissions, front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, portfolio transaction expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses) so that total annual operating expenses are not expected to exceed 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.30% for Class C shares, 0.85% for Class FI shares, and 0.60% for Class I shares (the “expense caps”), subject to recapture as described below. This arrangement will remain in effect through at least April 30, 2024. After that date, the arrangement may be terminated or amended at any time by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Trust for Advised Portfolios upon 60 days’ notice to 1919ic or by 1919ic with consent of the Board. 1919ic may be permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within three years after 1919ic waived the fee or
17


incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will 1919ic recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding (after the recoupment amount has been taken into account) the lower of: (1) the applicable expense cap at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement; or (2) the applicable expense cap at the time of the recapture.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Maryland Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Maryland Fund for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and the Maryland Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the expense caps that are in place through April 30, 2024) and that you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
Number of years you own your shares
1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
Class A (with or without redemption at end of period) $498 $727 $973 $1,678
Class C (with redemption at end of period) $232 $484 $860 $1,915
Class C (without redemption at end of period) $132 $484 $860 $1,915
Class FI (with or without redemption at end of period) $87 $351 $635 $1,445
Class I (with or without redemption at end of period) $61 $272 $500 $1,156

Portfolio turnover The Maryland Fund pays transaction costs when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate indicates higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Maryland Fund’s performance. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 33% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Maryland Fund invests primarily in debt instruments issued by or on behalf of the State of Maryland, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities or public authorities, the interest on which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuers of those instruments, is exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes. Securities considered for investment must be investment grade (that is securities rated in the Baa/BBB categories or above, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the Adviser). The Maryland Fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular segment of the municipal securities market, such as hospital revenue bonds, housing agency bonds, private activity bonds or airport bonds, or in securities the interest on which is paid from revenues of a similar type of project. Under normal circumstances, the Maryland Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from Maryland state and local taxes and is not considered an item of tax preference for the purpose of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”).
The Maryland Fund may invest in securities of any maturity. The portfolio managers anticipate that the dollar‑weighted average maturity for the Maryland Fund will be in the long-intermediate-term to long-term range (generally from 7 to 20 years) although, at times, depending on the portfolio managers’ market outlook, the average maturity may be somewhat longer or shorter than this. The tax consequences of trading activity are always considered.
The portfolio managers analyze each sector and issuer under consideration for the portfolio to determine its credit fundamentals and outlook. Issuers are scrutinized not only for their ability to make timely interest and principal payments, but for the stability of their financial position and ratings.
Securities may be sold because their credit fundamentals have changed or in order to buy a security that the portfolio managers believe will produce greater risk-adjusted returns.
18


The Maryland Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. However, the Maryland Fund intends to satisfy the asset diversification requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Maryland Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Maryland Fund might not make use of all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Principal Risks
Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the Maryland Fund will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the Maryland Fund, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Maryland Fund or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the Maryland Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a ‘principal risk’ of investing in the Maryland Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears.
Credit risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Maryland Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Maryland Fund defaults or is downgraded, or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. The Maryland Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities that are not general obligations of a state. These may be issued by local governments or public authorities and may vary significantly from the state’s general obligations. They may also not be backed by the taxing power of the government unit that issued them.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Maryland Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security.
Illiquid investment risk. Some securities held by the Maryland Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Maryland Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Maryland Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Maryland Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to
19


countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Market and interest rate risk. The market prices of the Maryland Fund’s securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment may also go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. The U.S. credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than five years. Instability in the credit markets has made it more difficult for a number of issuers of debt securities to obtain financing or refinancing for their investment or lending activities or operations. In particular, because of volatile conditions in the credit markets, issuers of debt securities may be subject to increased cost for debt, tightening underwriting standards and reduced liquidity for loans they make, securities they purchase and securities they issue. These developments may increase the volatility of the value of securities owned by the Fund. These developments may also make it more difficult for the Maryland Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. These developments may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of issuers of securities owned by the Maryland Fund to make payments of principal and interest when due, lead to lower credit ratings of issuers and increased defaults by issuers. Such developments could, in turn, reduce the value of securities owned by the Maryland Fund and adversely affect the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares.
Maryland municipal securities risk. The Maryland Fund focuses its investments on Maryland municipal securities and may be affected significantly by adverse economic or political developments or other events affecting Maryland obligors. Also, the Maryland Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diverse fund.
Municipal securities risk. Municipal issuers may be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Unfavorable conditions and developments relating to projects financed with municipal securities can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities. Issuers often depend on revenues from these projects to make principal and interest payments. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory and political developments, tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. In addition, some local jurisdictions have invested heavily in derivative instruments and may hold portfolios of uncertain valuation. These developments could reduce the value of all municipal securities or the securities of particular issuers or reduce the attractiveness of investing in municipal instruments as compared to taxable instruments. In recent periods an increasing number of municipal issuers in the United States have defaulted on obligations and commenced insolvency proceedings. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse.
Non-diversification risk. To the extent the Maryland Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Maryland Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the quality, relative yield, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, or about interest rates is incorrect.
Sector focus risk. The Maryland Fund may focus a significant portion of its investments in a single sector of the municipal securities market. In doing so, the Maryland Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting that sector than would be a fund not following this practice. In addition, the Maryland Fund may invest in securities issued by hospitals and other healthcare providers. Pressure to reduce expenses and to limit lengths of stay and significant changes in federal healthcare policies may adversely affect the financial health of some hospitals.
20


Tax risk. The income on the Maryland Fund’s municipal securities could become subject to regular federal income or Maryland state personal income taxes due to noncompliant conduct by issuers, unfavorable legislation or litigation or adverse interpretations by regulatory authorities. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Maryland Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Maryland Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the Maryland Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Maryland Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Performance
The accompanying bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Maryland Fund. The bar chart shows changes in the Maryland Fund’s performance from year to year for Class A shares. The table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Maryland Fund that has been in operation for at least one full calendar year and also compares the Maryland Fund’s performance with the average annual total returns of an index or other benchmark. Performance for classes other than those shown may vary from the performance shown to the extent the expenses for those classes differ. The Maryland Fund makes updated performance information available at www.1919funds.com or by calling the Maryland Fund at 1-844-828-1919.
The performance of shares of the Maryland Fund for the period prior to November 7, 2014, reflects the performance of the Legg Mason Investment Counsel Maryland Tax-Free Income Trust (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Maryland Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund, which had used substantially similar investment strategies and had the same portfolio management team. At completion of the reorganization on November 7, 2014, Class A, Class C, and Class I of the Maryland Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of the Predecessor Fund’s corresponding class of shares.
Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Maryland Fund will perform in the future. Sales charges are not reflected in the accompanying bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.

The after-tax returns are shown only for Class A shares, are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns for classes other than Class A will vary from returns shown for Class A. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares are higher than returns before taxes for certain periods shown because they reflect the tax benefit of capital losses realized on the redemption of fund shares. In certain cases, the figure representing “Return after Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares” may be higher than other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

Tax Information
The Maryland Fund intends to distribute income that is dividend income exempt from regular federal income tax and Maryland state personal income tax. A portion of the Maryland Fund’s distributions may be subject to such taxes and/or to the federal AMT. Some distributions may be treated as a return of capital for tax purposes. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments. If you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or IRA you will generally not be subject to federal taxation on Maryland Fund distributions until you begin receiving distributions from your tax-deferred arrangement.
Payments to Broker/Dealers and other Financial Intermediaries
The Maryland Fund and its related companies may pay broker/dealers or other Financial Intermediaries (such as a bank) for the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments create a conflict of interest by influencing your broker/dealer or other intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your financial adviser or salesperson or visit your Financial Intermediary’s or salesperson’s website for more information.

Investment Objectives, Investment Strategies and Principal Risks
Financial Services Fund’s Objectives and Strategies
The Financial Services Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.
Under normal circumstances, the Financial Services Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers in the financial services industry. These companies may include, but are not limited to:
Regional and money center banks
Securities brokerage firms
Asset management companies
Savings banks and thrift institutions
Specialty finance companies (e.g., credit card and mortgage providers)
Insurance and insurance brokerage firms
Government sponsored agencies, such as the Government National Mortgage Association
Financial conglomerates
For purposes of the Financial Services Fund’s 80% policy, issuers in the financial services industry include companies that derive more than 50% of their revenues from providing products and services to the financial services industry, including software, hardware, publishing, news services, credit research and ratings services, Internet services and business services. For purposes of this 80% policy, net assets include borrowings for investment purposes, if any.
The Financial Services Fund’s 80% investment policy may be changed by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Trust for Advised Portfolios (the “Trust”) upon 60 days’ prior notice to shareholders.
The Financial Services Fund is classified as a limited derivatives user under Rule 18f-4 of the 1940 Act. As a limited derivatives user the Financial Services Fund’s derivatives exposure, excluding certain currency and interest rate hedging transactions, may not exceed 10% of its net assets. This restriction is not fundamental and may be changed by the Financial Services Fund without a shareholder vote.
The Financial Services Fund’s investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval. The Financial Services Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval and on notice to shareholders.
The Financial Services Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Financial Services Fund might not use all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Cash management. The Financial Services Fund may hold cash pending investment, and may invest in money market instruments for cash management purposes. The amount of assets the Financial Services Fund may hold for cash management purposes will depend on market conditions and the need to meet expected redemption requests.
Defensive investing. The Financial Services Fund may depart from its principal investment strategies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by taking temporary defensive positions, including by investing without limit in any type of money market instruments, short-term fixed income securities or cash without regard to any percentage limitations. While the Financial Services Fund is in a defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective. Although the Adviser has the ability to take defensive positions, it may choose not to do so for a variety of reasons, even during volatile market conditions.
Derivatives and hedging techniques. Derivatives are financial instruments whose value depends upon, or is derived from, the value of an asset, such as one or more underlying investments, indexes or currencies. The Financial Services Fund may engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives, such as futures and options on securities, securities indexes or currencies; options on these futures; interest rate or currency swaps; and
24


forward foreign currency transactions. Derivatives may be used by the Financial Services Fund for any of the following purposes:
To settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies
As a hedging technique in an attempt to manage risk in the Financial Services Fund’s portfolio
As a substitute for buying or selling securities
As a cash flow management technique
To manage its exposure to foreign securities
A derivative contract will obligate or entitle the Financial Services Fund to deliver or receive an asset or cash payment based on the change in value of one or more underlying investments, indexes or currencies. When the Financial Services Fund enters into derivatives transactions, it may be required to segregate assets or enter into offsetting positions, in accordance with applicable regulations. Such segregation is not a hedging technique and will not limit the Financial Services Fund’s exposure to loss. The Financial Services Fund will, therefore, have investment risk with respect to both the derivative itself and the assets that have been segregated to offset the Financial Services Fund’s derivative exposure. If such segregated assets represent a large portion of the Financial Services Fund’s portfolio, portfolio management may be affected as covered positions may have to be reduced if it becomes necessary for the Financial Services Fund to reduce the amount of segregated assets in order to meet redemptions or other obligations.
The Adviser, on behalf of the Financial Services Fund, has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. As a result, the Financial Services Fund is not subject to registration or regulation as a commodity pool operator under such Act even though it may engage to a limited extent in certain derivatives transactions that might otherwise subject it to such registration and regulation.
Should the Financial Services Fund invest in derivatives, the Financial Services Fund will, in determining compliance with any percentage limitation or requirement regarding the use or investment of Financial Services Fund assets, take into account the market value of the Financial Services Fund’s derivative positions that are intended to reduce or create exposure to the applicable category of investments.
Equity investments. Equity securities include exchange-traded and over-the-counter (OTC) common and preferred stocks, warrants and rights, securities convertible into common stocks, and securities of other investment companies and of real estate investment trusts.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Financial Services Fund may invest in shares of open-end mutual funds or unit investment trusts that are traded on a stock exchange, called exchange traded funds. Typically, an ETF seeks to track (positively or negatively) the performance of an index by holding in its portfolio either the same securities that comprise the index or a representative sample of the index. Investing in an ETF gives the Financial Services Fund exposure to the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and the Financial Services Fund will gain or lose value depending on the performance of the index. Certain ETFs in which the Financial Services Fund may invest seek to track (positively or negatively) a multiple of index performance on any given day.
Fixed income securities. Fixed income securities represent obligations of corporations, governments and other entities to repay money borrowed. Fixed income securities are commonly referred to as “debt,” “debt obligations,” “bonds” or “notes.” The issuer of the fixed income security usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and repays the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some fixed income securities, however, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Other fixed income securities may make periodic payments of interest and/or principal. Some fixed income securities are partially or fully secured by collateral supporting the payment of interest and principal.
Foreign investments. The Financial Services Fund may invest its assets in securities of foreign financial services companies, including companies in emerging market countries.
High yield securities. The Financial Services Fund may invest a portion of its assets in high yield securities (“junk bonds”).
25


Other investments. The Financial Services Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Financial Services Fund might not use all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Selection process. The Financial Services Fund invests primarily in equity securities of financial services issuers that the Adviser believes are undervalued and thus may offer above-average potential for capital appreciation. In deciding what securities to buy, the Adviser analyzes an issuer’s financial statements to determine earnings per share potential. It also reviews, as appropriate, the economy where the issuer does business, the products offered, the issuer’s potential to benefit from industry changes and the strength and goals of management. The Adviser typically will sell a security in the Financial Services Fund’s portfolio if that security experiences earnings problems.
Socially Responsive Fund’s Objectives and Strategies
The Socially Responsive Fund seeks to provide high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income. The Socially Responsive Fund emphasizes companies that offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate an awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate. The Socially Responsive Fund will consider debt instruments such as green, social or sustainable bonds, whose purpose is to promote resource efficiency or climate-related mitigation, remediation or adaptation. Bonds are determined to be green, social or sustainable bonds through the Adviser’s proprietary research process.
Under normal circumstances, the Socially Responsive Fund will maintain at least 65% of the value of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of the value of its assets in fixed income securities. The Socially Responsive Fund invests in a mix of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies in a broad range of industries and sectors, without regard to market capitalization. The Fund invests in fixed income securities which are primarily investment grade and may be of any maturity and any duration. The Fund may invest up to 25% (and generally invests less than 15%) in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging market countries. The Socially Responsive Fund emphasizes companies that offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate an awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.
The Socially Responsive Fund’s investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval. The Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval and on notice to shareholders.
The portfolio managers consider whether, relative to other companies in an industry, a company that meets these investment criteria is also sensitive to environmental and social issues related to its products, services, or methods of doing business.
Socially responsive factors considered are:
 Fair and reasonable employment practices, with due consideration of a diverse workforce
Contributions to the general well-being of the citizens of its host communities and countries and respect for human rights
Efforts and strategies to minimize the negative impact of business activities and to preserve the earth’s ecological heritage with those environmental policies, practices and procedures that are currently acceptable, or are exhibiting improvement
Exposure to fossil fuel real assets including oil, gas and coal
Avoidance of investments in companies that:
Manufacture nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production and sale of non-nuclear weaponry
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production or sales of tobacco
26


The portfolio managers perform their own independent review of issuers based on the above factors and every investment the Fund makes is reviewed against these factors (excluding securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies). In conducting this review, portfolio managers will seek to understand the business profile of an issuer and to identify any concerns relating to the above factors relative to established industry norms. This review is a fundamental, qualitative analysis based on third-party data, publicly available information and issuer disclosures and is not based on any pre-established quantitative screens with respect to any particular data.
With respect to “fair and reasonable employment practices,” the portfolio managers will assess whether a company has public labor relations issues, such as lawsuits, workplace accidents, or union-related disputes. In considering a company’s “contribution to the general well-being of citizens,” the portfolio managers assess whether a company has existing conflicts or controversies with the communities or citizens thereof in which it operates. Similarly, in assessing whether a company’s business activities have a “negative impact,” the portfolio managers review whether a company has had disclosed or public controversies or conflicts with respect to its local environment.
The Fund also assesses control of or exposure to fossil fuel real assets by evaluating a company’s ownership interest in oil, gas, and/or coal assets and to what degree the company’s business is dependent on the extraction, transportation, processing, and/or distribution of oil, gas, and/or coal. In making these assessments, the portfolio managers may review sources of revenue, capital expense, planned and implemented investments, company strategic direction or other relevant factors.
Socially responsive factors are not the exclusive considerations in investment decisions but companies that are not, in the view of the portfolio managers, satisfying the above factors -- or making efforts to satisfy the above factors -- consistent with applicable industry norms will not be purchased. These portfolio restrictions are based on the belief that a company will benefit from being socially responsive by enabling it to better position itself in developing business opportunities while avoiding liabilities that may be incurred when a product or service is determined to have a negative social impact.
The portfolio managers will use their best efforts to assess a company’s environmental and social performance. This means that there is no guarantee that the Adviser’s research process will uncover material factors that a company fails to disclose. This analysis will be based on present activities, and will not preclude securities solely because of past activities. The portfolio managers will monitor the related progress or deterioration of each company in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. The Adviser will sell a portfolio security that no longer meets the factors described above, but such a decision may also be based on the Adviser’s fundamental equity and fixed income research process.
The Socially Responsive Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Socially Responsive Fund might not use all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Defensive investing. The Socially Responsive Fund may depart from its principal investment strategies in response to adverse market, economic or political conditions by taking temporary defensive positions, including by investing in any type of money market instruments, short-term debt securities or cash without regard to any percentage limitations. While the Socially Responsive Fund is in a defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective. Although the Adviser has the ability to take defensive positions, it may choose not to do so for a variety of reasons, even during volatile market conditions.
Equity investments. Equity securities include exchange-traded and over-the-counter (“OTC”) common and preferred stocks, warrants and rights, securities convertible into common stocks, and securities of other investment companies and of real estate investment trusts.
The Socially Responsive Fund invests in a broad range of companies, industries and sectors, without regard to market capitalization. The portfolio managers use a fundamental approach to selecting equity securities. In selecting individual equity securities, the portfolio managers look for companies they believe are undervalued. Specifically, the portfolio managers look for:
Attractive risk-adjusted price/earnings ratio, relative to growth
Positive earnings trends
27


Favorable financial condition
Fixed income securities. Fixed income securities represent obligations of corporations, governments and other entities to repay money borrowed. Fixed income securities are commonly referred to as “debt,” “debt obligations,” “bonds” or “notes.” The issuer of the fixed income security usually pays a fixed, variable or floating rate of interest, and repays the amount borrowed, usually at the maturity of the security. Some fixed income securities, however, do not pay current interest but are sold at a discount from their face values. Other fixed income securities may make periodic payments of interest and/or principal. Some fixed income securities are partially or fully secured by collateral supporting the payment of interest and principal.
In selecting fixed income investments, the portfolio managers:
Determine sector and maturity weightings based on intermediate- and long-term assessments of the economic environment and interest rate outlook
Use fundamental analysis to determine the relative value of bond issues. When selecting fixed income investments, the Adviser aims to capitalize on its bond sector research to identify undervalued and overvalued sectors early and utilize proprietary credit research to anticipate positive and negative credit ratings changes; and make duration and term structure decisions that are top-down while its sector weighting decisions are bottom up.
Identify undervalued bonds and attempt to avoid bonds that may be subject to credit downgrades
Foreign securities. The Socially Responsive Fund may invest a portion of its assets, generally less than 15% (but not more than 25%), in securities of foreign issuers, including issuers in emerging market countries. Foreign securities generally include American Depository Receipts (ADRs), Yankee Bonds and other securities quoted in U.S. dollars.
Other investments. The Socially Responsive Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Socially Responsive Fund might not use all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Maryland Fund’s Investment Objective and Strategies
The Maryland Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes, consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital.
The Maryland Fund’s investment strategies may be changed without shareholder approval. The Maryland Fund’s investment objective may be changed by the Board without shareholder approval and on notice to shareholders. The Maryland Fund may not change its policy to, under normal circumstances, invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from Maryland state and local taxes and is not considered an item of tax preference for the purpose of the federal AMT without shareholder approval. For purposes of this 80% policy, net assets include borrowings for investment purposes, if any.
Maryland municipal securities include debt obligations issued by the State of Maryland and its political subdivisions, agencies and public authorities, certain other governmental issuers (such as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam) and other qualifying issuers, and investments with similar economic characteristics, the income from which is exempt from regular federal income and Maryland State personal income taxes. Although municipal securities are issued by qualifying issuers, payments of principal and interest on municipal securities may be derived solely from revenues from certain facilities, mortgages or private industries, and may not be backed by the issuers themselves. These securities include municipal security participations and other municipal security interests issued or backed by banks, insurance companies, and other financial institutions.
Maryland municipal securities include general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, housing authority bonds, private activity bonds, industrial development bonds, residual interest bonds, tender option bonds, tax and revenue anticipation notes, bond anticipation notes, tax-exempt commercial paper, municipal leases, participation certificates and custodial receipts. General obligation bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing entity. Revenue bonds are typically used to fund public works projects, such as education, health care, utilities, toll roads, airports and transportation facilities that are expected to produce income sufficient to
28


make the payments on the bonds, since they are not backed by the full taxing power of the municipality. Housing authority bonds are used primarily to fund low to middle income residential projects and may be backed by the payments made on the underlying mortgages. Tax and revenue anticipation notes are generally issued in order to finance short-term cash needs or, occasionally, to finance construction. Tax and revenue anticipation notes are expected to be repaid from taxes or designated revenues in the related period, and they may or may not be general obligations of the issuing entity. Bond anticipation notes are issued with the expectation that their principal and interest will be paid out of proceeds from renewal notes or bonds and may be issued to finance such items as land acquisition, facility acquisition and/or construction and capital improvement projects.
Municipal securities include municipal lease obligations, which are undivided interests issued by a state or municipality in a lease or installment purchase contract which generally relates to equipment or facilities. In some cases payments under municipal leases do not have to be made unless money is specifically approved for that purpose by an appropriate legislative body for the fiscal year in question.
Cash management and defensive investing. For temporary defensive purposes, when, in the portfolio managers’ opinion, no suitable municipal securities are available, for liquidity purposes or pending the investment of the proceeds of the sale of shares, the Maryland Fund may invest in taxable short-term investments. The Maryland Fund may also temporarily invest more than 20% of its net assets in municipal obligations the interest on which is exempt from federal income tax but is an item of tax preference and/or is subject to Maryland state and local income taxes. If the Maryland Fund holds cash uninvested it will be subject to the credit risk of the depository institution holding the cash. In addition, it will not earn income on the cash and the Maryland Fund’s yield will go down. While the Maryland Fund is in a defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective. Although the portfolio managers have the ability to take defensive positions, they may choose not to do so for a variety of reasons, even during volatile market conditions.
Duration. The portfolio managers establish a weighted average effective duration target for the Maryland Fund based on the portfolio managers’ investment outlook. This outlook is determined by the portfolio managers’ analysis of the economy, fiscal and monetary policy and international events. Factors directly impacting the municipal market, such as supply, demand and legislative developments, are also incorporated into the portfolio manager’s outlook.
Effective duration seeks to measure the expected sensitivity of market price to changes in interest rates, taking into account the anticipated effects of structural complexities (for example, some bonds can be prepaid by the issuer). The assumptions that are made about a security’s features and options when calculating effective duration may prove to be incorrect. As a result, investors should be aware that effective duration is not an exact measurement and may not reliably predict a security’s price sensitivity to changes in yield or interest rates.
Investment grade securities. Investment grade securities are those rated within the four highest grades by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”), or Fitch Ratings, Inc. (“Fitch”) or, if unrated, deemed by the portfolio managers to be of comparable quality.
Other investments. The Maryland Fund may also use other strategies and invest in other securities that are described, along with their risks, in the SAI. However, the Maryland Fund might not make use of all of the strategies and techniques or invest in all of the types of securities described in this Prospectus or in the SAI.
Selection process. The portfolio managers analyze each sector and issuer under consideration for the portfolio to determine its credit fundamentals and outlook. Issuers are scrutinized not only for their ability to make timely interest and principal payments, but for the stability of their financial position and ratings.
Selling discipline. Securities may be sold because their credit fundamentals have changed or in order to buy a security that the portfolio managers believe will produce greater risk-adjusted returns.
Principal Risks
Risk is inherent in all investing. There is no assurance that the Funds will meet its investment objective. The value of your investment in the Funds, as well as the amount of return you receive on your investment, may fluctuate significantly. You may lose part or all of your investment in the Funds or your investment may not perform as well as other similar investments. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not
29


insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The principal risks are presented in alphabetical order to facilitate finding particular risks and comparing them with other funds. Each risk summarized below is considered a ‘principal risk’ of investing in a Fund, regardless of the order in which it appears. The following is a summary description of principal risks of investing in the Funds.
Credit risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by a Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in a Fund could decline. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which a Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. A Fund is subject to greater levels of credit risk to the extent it holds below investment grade debt securities (that is, securities rated below the Baa/BBB categories or unrated securities of comparable quality), or “junk bonds.” These securities have a higher risk of issuer default, because, among other reasons, issuers of junk bonds often have more debt in relation to total capitalization than issuers of investment grade securities. These securities are considered speculative, tend to be less liquid and are more difficult to value than higher rated securities and may involve major risk of exposure to adverse conditions and negative sentiments. These securities may be in default or in danger of default as to principal and interest. Unrated securities of comparable quality share these risks.
If, in the case of the Financial Services Fund, it enters into financial contracts (such as certain derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), it will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Financial Services Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect its interests or to enforce its rights.
Credit risk (Maryland Fund). If an obligor (such as the municipal issuer, a municipal insurer or other party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Maryland Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Maryland Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, or is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, or, if a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Maryland Fund could decline. In particular, the number of municipal insurers is relatively small, and, as a result, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer may affect the overall municipal market. If the Maryland Fund enters into financial contracts, the Maryland Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Maryland Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Maryland Fund’s interest in securities experiencing these events. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Maryland Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
The Maryland Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities that are not general obligations of a state. These may be issued by local governments or public authorities and are rated according to their particular creditworthiness, which may vary significantly from the state’s general obligations.
The Maryland Fund may invest in bonds that are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to finance privately operated facilities. Payment of principal and interest on these bonds depends on the stream of revenue from the facility or the credit standing of the private operator; they are not supported by the taxing power of the public authority that issued them. The credit quality of private activity bonds is usually directly related to the credit standing of the corporate user of the facilities. Because these securities are not backed by the taxing power of the government unit that issued them, they carry a greater risk of default than other municipal securities.
Currency risk (Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund). The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the U.S. and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.
30


Derivatives risk (Financial Services Fund). Using derivatives, especially for non-hedging purposes, may involve greater risks to the Financial Services Fund than investing directly in securities, particularly as these instruments may be very complex and may not behave in the manner anticipated. Certain derivatives transactions may have a leveraging effect on the Financial Services Fund. Even a small investment in derivative contracts can have a significant impact on the Financial Services Fund’s stock market, interest rate or currency exposure. Therefore, using derivatives can disproportionately increase losses and reduce opportunities for gains when stock prices, currency rates or interest rates are changing. The Financial Services Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on derivatives if changes in their value do not correspond as anticipated to changes in the value of the Financial Services Fund’s holdings. Using derivatives may increase the Financial Services Fund’s volatility, which is the degree to which the Financial Services Fund’s share price may fluctuate within a short time period. Holdings of derivatives also can make the Financial Services Fund less liquid and harder to value, especially in declining markets. The Financial Services Fund may incur additional costs related to derivatives, such as transaction costs and custody expenses, which can adversely affect the Financial Services Fund’s performance.
Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation.
Risks associated with the use of derivatives are magnified to the extent that a large portion of the Financial Services Funds assets are committed to derivatives in general or are invested in just one or a few types of derivatives.
ETFs risk (Financial Services Fund). Investing in an ETF will give the Financial Services Fund exposure to the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and will expose the Fund to risks similar to those of investing directly in those securities. Unlike shares of typical mutual funds or unit investment trusts, shares of ETFs are traded on an exchange and may trade throughout a trading day. ETFs are bought and sold based on market values and not at net asset value, and therefore, may trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. However, the trading prices of index-based ETFs tend to closely track the actual net asset value of the underlying portfolios. The Financial Services Fund will generally gain or lose value on holdings of an ETF consistent with the performance of the index on which the ETF is based. The Financial Services Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the management fees and other expenses that are charged by the ETF in addition to the management fees and other expenses incurred directly by the Financial Services Fund. As a result, with respect to the Financial Services Fund’s investment in ETFs, shareholders will be subject to two layers of fees and expenses in connection with their investment in the Financial Services Fund. The Financial Services Fund will also pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs.
Extension risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline. In the case of the Socially Responsive Fund, this is particularly true for asset- and mortgage-backed securities in which it invests. This may cause a Fund’s share prices to be more volatile.
Financial services companies risk (Financial Services Fund). The Financial Services Fund is subject to the risk of concentrating investments in financial services companies. A fund concentrating most of its investments in a single industry will be more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers within that industry than would a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio of securities. Economic downturns, credit losses and severe price competition can negatively affect this industry. The financial services sector is highly correlated with and particularly vulnerable to certain factors, such as the availability and cost of borrowing and raising additional capital, the rate of corporate and consumer debt defaults and price competition. The profitability of financial services companies is dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change.
Financial services companies are also subject to extensive government regulation and their prospects may be affected by new regulations or regulatory interpretations that impede particular lines of business. Direct governmental intervention in the operations of financial services companies and financial markets may materially and adversely affect the companies in which the Financial Services Fund invests. The impact of recent legislation on any individual company or on the industry as a whole cannot be predicted.
31


Fixed income securities risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of a Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline. These risks are heightened with respect to high yield securities.
Foreign investments and emerging market risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). A Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which a Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of a Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The value of a Fund’s foreign investments may also be affected by foreign tax laws, special U.S. tax considerations and restrictions on receiving the investment proceeds from a foreign country. Dividends or interest on, or proceeds from the sale of, foreign securities may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes.
In some foreign countries, less information is available about issuers and markets because of less rigorous accounting and regulatory standards than in the United States. It may be difficult for a Fund to pursue claims against a foreign issuer in the courts of a foreign country. Some securities issued by non-U.S. governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of such governments. Even where a security is backed by the full faith and credit of a government, it may be difficult for a Fund to pursue its rights against the government. Some non-U.S. governments have defaulted on principal and interest payments, and more may do so.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Forward foreign currency transactions risk (Financial Services Fund). The Financial Services Fund may not fully benefit from or may lose money on forward currency transactions if changes in currency exchange rates do not occur as anticipated or do not correspond accurately to changes in the value of the Financial Services Fund’s holdings.
The Financial Services Fund’s ability to use forward foreign currency transactions successfully depends on a number of factors, including the forward foreign currency transactions being available at prices that are not too costly, the availability of liquid markets and the ability of the portfolio managers to accurately predict the direction of changes in currency exchange rates. A security may be denominated in a currency that is different from the currency where the issuer is domiciled.
Currency transactions are subject to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the other party in the transaction will not fulfill its contractual obligation.
Issuer risk (All 1919 Funds). The value of a security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The value of a company’s securities may deteriorate because of a variety of factors, including disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of their investments in the securities of small and medium capitalization companies. Investments in small and medium capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors; may have limited product lines, operating histories, markets or financial resources; or may be dependent upon a limited management group. The prices of securities of small and medium
32


capitalization companies generally are more volatile than those of large capitalization companies and are more likely to be adversely affected than large capitalization companies by changes in earnings results and investor expectations or poor economic or market conditions, including those experienced during a recession. Securities of small and medium capitalization companies may underperform large capitalization companies, may be harder to sell at times and at prices the portfolio managers believe appropriate and may offer greater potential for losses. In addition, for the Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund, large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk (All 1919 Funds). Illiquid investment risk exists when particular investments are difficult to sell. Although most of a Fund’s investments must be liquid at the time of investment, investments may become illiquid after purchase by a Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. When a Fund holds illiquid investments, the portfolio may be harder to value, especially in changing markets, and if a Fund is forced to sell these investments to meet redemption requests or for other cash needs, the Fund may suffer a loss. In addition, when there is illiquidity in the market for certain investments, a Fund, due to limitations on illiquid investments, may be unable to achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector.
Market risk (All 1919 Funds). Market risks, including political, regulatory, market, and economic or other developments, and developments that impact specific economic sectors, industries or segments of the market, can affect the value of the Funds’ shares. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities. The Funds are subject to the risk that the prices of, and the income generated by, securities held by the Funds may decline significantly and/or rapidly in response to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, general economic and market conditions, or other developments, such as regional or global economic instability (including terrorism and related geopolitical risks), interest rate fluctuations, and those events directly involving the issuers that may cause broad changes in market value, public perceptions concerning these developments, and adverse investor sentiment. Such events may cause the value of securities owned by the Funds to go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Changes in the economic climate, investor perceptions and stock market volatility also can cause the prices of the Funds’ investments to decline regardless of the conditions of the issuers held by the Funds. There is also a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government and/or Federal Reserve, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and higher levels of redemptions from a Fund, which could have a negative impact on the Fund. These events may lead to periods of volatility and increased redemptions, which could cause a Fund to experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent.
Prices may fluctuate widely over short or extended periods in response to company, market or economic news. Markets also tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising and falling prices. If there is a general decline in the securities and other markets, your investment in a Fund may lose value, regardless of the individual results of the securities and other instruments in which the Fund invests.
In the past several years, financial markets in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread. The U.S. Government and the Federal Reserve, as well as certain foreign governments and central banks, took steps to support financial markets, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels for an extended period. Starting in 2022 the Federal Reserve concluded its market support activities and began to raise interest rates. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address the pandemic, inflation, or other significant events in the future, may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.
Policy and legislative changes in the United States and in other countries are affecting many aspects of financial regulation and may, in some instances, contribute to decreased liquidity and increased volatility in the financial markets. The impact of these changes on the markets, and the practical implications for market participants, may not be fully known for some time.
33


Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Funds invest in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments may be negatively affected.
Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. The COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and higher inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the financial markets, economic downturns around the world, and severe losses, particularly to some sectors of the economy and individual issuers, and reduced liquidity of certain instruments. These events have caused significant disruptions to business operations, including business closures; strained healthcare systems; disruptions to supply chains and employee availability; large fluctuations in consumer demand; large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of such events; and widespread uncertainty regarding the long-term effects of such events. Such events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Funds’ investments, impair the Funds’ ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Funds’ performance. Other market events may cause similar disruptions and effects.
Market and interest rate risk (Maryland Fund). The market prices of fixed income and other securities owned by the Maryland Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Maryland Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Maryland Fund will decline. The value of a security may fall due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest or currency rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities.
Changes in market conditions will not have the same impact on all types of securities. The value of a security may also fall due to specific conditions that affect a particular sector of the securities market or a particular issuer.
Interest rates in the United States have been historically low and may be expected to go back up. When interest rates rise, the value of fixed income securities generally falls. A change in interest rates will not have the same impact on all fixed income securities. Generally, the longer the maturity or duration of a fixed income security, the greater the impact of a rise in interest rates on the security’s value. However, calculations of duration and maturity may be based on estimates and may not reliably predict a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Moreover, securities can change in value in response to other factors, such as credit risk. In addition, different interest rate measures (such as short- and long-term interest rates and U.S. and foreign interest rates), or interest rates on different types of securities or securities of different issuers, may not necessarily change in the same amount or in the same direction. When interest rates go down, the income received by the Maryland Fund, and the Fund’s yield, may decline.
Certain fixed income securities pay interest at variable or floating rates. Variable rate securities tend to reset at specified intervals, while floating rate securities may reset whenever there is a change in a specified index rate. In most cases, these reset provisions reduce the impact of changes in market interest rates on the value of the security. However, some securities do not track the underlying index directly, but reset based on formulas that may produce a leveraging effect; others may also provide for interest payments that vary inversely with market rates. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Yield generated by the Maryland Fund may decline due to a decrease in market interest rates.
Maryland municipal securities risk (Maryland Fund). The Maryland Fund focuses its investments on Maryland municipal securities and may be affected significantly by adverse economic, political developments or other events affecting Maryland obligors. Maryland’s economy is largely dependent on the government sector, manufacturing, the service trade, and financial, real estate and insurance entities. To the extent there are changes to any of these sectors, the Maryland Fund may be adversely impacted. Also, the Maryland Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diverse fund. More detailed information about the economy of Maryland may be found in the SAI.

Mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities risk (Socially Responsive Fund). Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or may be issued by private issuers, generally originators in mortgage loans, including savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers, and special purpose entities (collectively, “private lenders”). The purchase of mortgage-backed securities from private lenders may entail greater risk than mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Mortgage-backed securities risks include the failure of a party to meet its commitments under the related operative documents, adverse interest rate changes and the effects of prepayments on mortgage cash flows.
Asset-backed securities are securities backed by credit card receivables, automobile loans or other assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which have given debtors the right to reduce the balance due on the credit cards. Asset-backed securities may be subject to greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other instruments.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) risk (Socially Responsive Fund). RMBS are subject to delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower’s financial circumstances. Subprime loans are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their loans. RMBS backed by subprime loans may suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults or the increased risk of default.
The rate of defaults and losses on residential mortgage loans will be affected by a number of factors, including general economic conditions and those in the geographic area where the mortgaged property is located, the terms of the mortgage loan, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property, and the financial circumstances of the borrower. Delinquencies and liquidation proceedings are more likely with sub-prime mortgage loans than with mortgage loans that satisfy customary credit standards. If a portfolio of RMBS is backed by loans with disproportionately large aggregate principal amounts secured by properties in only a few states or regions in the United States, residential mortgage loans may be more susceptible to geographic risks relating to such areas. It is not expected that RMBS will be guaranteed or insured by any U.S. governmental agency or instrumentality or by any other person.
Municipal securities risk (Maryland Fund). Issuers of municipal securities tend to derive a significant portion of their revenue from taxes, particularly property and income taxes, and decreases in personal income levels and property values and other unfavorable economic factors, such as a general economic recession, adversely affect municipal securities. Municipal issuers may also be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Where municipal securities are issued to finance particular projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, issuers often depend on revenues from those projects to make principal and interest payments. Adverse conditions and developments in those sectors can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities and can also have an adverse effect on the broader municipal securities market.
There may be less public information available on municipal issuers or projects than other issuers, and valuing municipal securities may be more difficult. In addition, the secondary market for municipal securities is less well developed and liquid than other markets, and dealers may be less willing to offer and sell municipal securities in times of market turbulence. Changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers (or one or more insurers of municipal issuers), or one or more defaults by municipal issuers or insurers, can adversely affect liquidity and valuations in the overall market for municipal securities. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by regulatory and political developments affecting the ability of municipal issuers to pay interest or repay principal, actual or anticipated tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. In addition, some local jurisdictions have invested heavily in derivative instruments and may hold portfolios of uncertain valuation.
These developments could reduce the value of all municipal securities or the securities of particular issuers or reduce the attractiveness of investing in municipal instruments as compared to taxable instruments. Moreover,
35


each of these factors may affect the ability of an issuer of municipal securities to meet its obligations. In recent periods an increasing number of municipal issuers in the United States have defaulted on obligations and commenced insolvency proceedings. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse.
Non-diversification risk (Maryland Fund). The Maryland Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, which means the Maryland Fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. To the extent the Maryland Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Maryland Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund. However, the Maryland Fund intends to comply with the asset diversification requirements for qualification as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code.
Portfolio selection risk (All 1919 Funds). The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect.
Prepayment or call risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if a Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it may not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, a Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if a Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) risk (Socially Responsive Fund). RMBS are subject to delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower’s financial circumstances. The risks associated with RMBS are greater for those in the Alt-A and subprime first lien mortgage sectors than those in the prime first lien mortgage sectors, but the risks exist for all RMBS. Subprime loans are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their loans. RMBS backed by subprime loans may suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults or the increased risk of default. There can be no assurance that the U.S. Government would provide financial support to its agencies or instrumentalities (including government-sponsored enterprises) where it is not obligated to do so. As a result, there is a risk that these entities will default on a financial obligation.
Sector focus risk (Maryland Fund). The Maryland Fund may focus a significant portion of its investments in a single sector of the municipal securities market. In doing so, the Maryland Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting that sector than would be a fund not following this practice. In addition, the Maryland Fund may invest in securities issued by hospitals and other healthcare providers. Pressure to reduce expenses and to limit lengths of stay and significant changes in federal healthcare policies may adversely affect the financial health of some hospitals.
Socially responsive criteria risk (Socially Responsive Fund). Because the portfolio managers use socially responsive criteria as a component of their selection process, the Socially Responsive Fund’s universe of investments may be smaller than that of other funds. Socially responsive companies may underperform similar companies without socially responsive policies or the market as a whole. Socially responsive companies may also fall out of favor with investors. The Socially Responsive Fund’s socially responsive criteria may also prevent investment in certain attractive opportunities that would be otherwise consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies.
Socially responsive information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s socially responsive characteristics. Additionally, the third-party data providers may differ in the data they provide for a given company or industry, and such data may only take into account one of many socially responsive characteristics of a company.
Stock market and equity securities risk (Financial Services and Socially Responsive Funds). Securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. The value of a particular security may decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or
36


industries, such as an increase in production costs, competitive conditions or labor shortages; or due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or generally adverse investor sentiment. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. These developments may increase the volatility of the value of securities owned by a Fund. These developments may also make it more difficult for a Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. These developments may also adversely affect the broader economy, which could, in turn, reduce the value of securities owned by a Fund and adversely affect the NAV of its shares.
Tax risk (Financial Services Fund). If positions held by the Financial Services Fund were treated as “straddles” for federal income tax purposes, or the Financial Services Fund’s risk of loss with respect to a position was otherwise diminished as set forth in Treasury regulations, dividends on stocks that are a part of such positions would not constitute qualified dividend income subject to favorable income tax treatment in the hands of non-corporate shareholders or eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, generally, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of the Financial Services Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions by requiring, among other things, that: (1) any loss realized on disposition of one position of a straddle may not be recognized to the extent that the Financial Services Fund has unrealized gains with respect to the other position in such straddle; (2) the Financial Services Fund’s holding period in straddle positions be suspended while the straddle exists (possibly resulting in a gain being treated as short-term capital gain rather than long-term capital gain); (3) the losses recognized with respect to certain straddle positions that are part of a mixed straddle and that are not subject to Section 1256 of the Code be treated as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital loss; (4) losses recognized with respect to certain straddle positions that would otherwise constitute short-term capital losses be treated as long-term capital losses; and (5) the deduction of interest and carrying charges attributable to certain straddle positions may be deferred.
Tax risk (Maryland Fund). The Maryland Fund will rely on the opinion of issuers’ bond counsel on the tax-exempt status of interest on municipal bond obligations. Neither the Maryland Fund nor the Adviser will independently review the bases for those tax opinions, which may ultimately be determined to be incorrect and subject the Maryland Fund and its shareholders to substantial tax liabilities. The Maryland Fund may invest a portion of its assets in securities that generate income that is subject to federal, state and local income tax, including the federal AMT. The income on the Maryland Fund’s municipal securities could become subject to regular federal income or Maryland state personal income taxes due to noncompliant conduct by issuers, unfavorable legislation or litigation or adverse interpretations by regulatory authorities. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments.
Valuation risk (All 1919 Funds). Many factors may influence the price at which a Fund could sell any particular portfolio investment. The sales price may well differ—higher or lower—from a Fund’s last valuation, and such differences could be significant, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, a Fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value methodologies. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when a Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares, or lower or higher redemption proceeds, than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology. The value of foreign securities, certain fixed income securities and currencies, as applicable, may be materially affected by events after the close of the market on which they are valued, but before a Fund determine its net asset value.
Value investing risk (Financial Services Fund). The value approach to investing involves the risk that value stocks may remain undervalued. Value stocks as a group may be out of favor and underperform the overall equity market for a long period of time, while the market concentrates on growth stocks.
Please note that there are other factors that could adversely affect your investment and that could prevent each Fund from achieving its investment objective. More information about risks appears in the SAI. Before investing, you should carefully consider the risks that you will assume.

A description of each Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the Funds’ SAI.
Management of the Funds
Investment Adviser
1919 Investment Counsel, LLC, located at One South Street, Suite 2500, Baltimore, Maryland, 21202, serves as investment adviser to the Funds. 1919ic provides the day-to-day portfolio management of the Funds. The Adviser provides customized investment counsel to individuals, family groups and institutions and seeks to maximize performance while managing risk through an investment discipline that is supported by fundamental research and dedicated resources. As of January 31, 2023, the Adviser had assets under management of approximately $17 billion.
Under the investment advisory agreement with the Trust, 1919ic supervises the management of each Fund’s investments (including cash and short-term instruments) and business affairs. At its expense, 1919ic will provide office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and personnel for servicing the investments of the Funds. As compensation for its services, each Fund will pay 1919ic a monthly advisory fee at the annual rate shown in the table below, based on the corresponding Fund’s average daily net assets.
Fund Management/Advisory Fee Rate
Financial Services Fund 0.80%
Socially Responsive Fund 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to and including $100 million;
0.61% of assets in excess of $100 million and up to and including $200 million;
0.51% of assets in excess of $200 million and up to and including $300 million;
and 0.46% of assets in excess of $300 million
Maryland Fund 0.55%
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser received an aggregate fee as a percentage of average net assets, after fee waivers, if any, as shown in the table below.
Fund Management/Advisory Fee Rate
Financial Services Fund 0.80%
Socially Responsive Fund 0.58%
Maryland Fund 0.22%
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the investment advisory agreement is available in the Funds’ report to shareholders for the period ending December 31, 2022.
The Funds are responsible for their own operating expenses. However, for each Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and pay expenses of each Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver/Expense Reimbursement (excluding interest, brokerage commissions, front-end or contingent deferred loads, portfolio transaction expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses, and acquired fund fees and expenses) will not exceed the amounts shown below as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”).
Fund Class A
Expense Cap
Class C
Expense Cap
Class FI Expense Cap Class R Expense Cap Class I Expense Cap
Financial Services Fund 1.50% 2.25% 1.50% 1.75% 1.25%
Socially Responsive Fund 1.25% 2.00% 1.25% 1.50% 1.00%
Maryland Fund 0.75% 1.30% 0.85% N/A 0.60%
These arrangements are in effect through April 30, 2024. After that date, the arrangements may be terminated or amended at any time by the Board upon 60 days’ notice to 1919ic or by 1919ic with consent of the Board. These arrangements, however, may be modified by the Adviser to decrease total annual operating expenses at
38


any time. 1919ic may be permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed to a class within three years after 1919ic waived the fee or incurred the expense if the class’ total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limits described above. In no case will the Adviser recapture any amount that would result, on any particular business day of the Fund, in the class’ total annual operating expenses exceeding (after the recoupment amount has been taken into account) the lower of: (1) the applicable expense cap at the time of the waiver and/or reimbursement; or (2) the applicable expense cap at the time of the recapture. Any such recoupment is contingent upon the subsequent review and approval of the recouped amounts by the Board.

Distribution
Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar” or the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside Financial Group, LLC, is located at 111 E. Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 2200, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202 and is the distributor for the shares of the Funds. Quasar is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Shares of the Funds are offered on a continuous basis.
The Financial Services Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 shareholder services and distribution plan. Under the plan, the Financial Services Fund pays distribution and service fees based on annualized percentages of average daily net assets, of up to 0.25% for Class A shares; up to 1.00% for Class C shares; up to 0.25% for Class FI shares; and up to 0.50% for Class R shares. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges. Class I shares are not subject to distribution and service fees under the plan.
The Socially Responsive Fund has adopted a Rule 12b-1 shareholder services and distribution plan. Under the plan, the Fund pays distribution and service fees based on annualized percentages of average daily net assets, of up to 0.25% for Class A shares; up to 1.00% for Class C shares; up to 0.25% for Class FI shares; and up to 0.50% for Class R shares.

These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges. Class I shares are not subject to distribution and service fees under the plan.
In addition, the Adviser and/or its affiliates make payments for distribution, shareholder servicing, marketing and promotional activities and related expenses out of their profits and other available sources, including profits from their relationships with the Funds. These payments are not reflected as additional expenses in the fee table contained in this Prospectus. The recipients of these payments may include affiliates of the Adviser, as well as non-affiliated broker/dealers, insurance companies, financial institutions and other Financial Intermediaries through which investors may purchase shares of the Funds, including your Financial Intermediary. The total amount of these payments is substantial, may be substantial to any given recipient and may exceed the costs and expenses incurred by the recipient for any fund-related marketing or shareholder servicing activities. The payments described in this paragraph are often referred to as “revenue sharing payments.” Revenue sharing arrangements are separately negotiated between the Adviser and/or its affiliates, and the recipients of these payments.
Revenue sharing payments create an incentive for an intermediary or its employees or associated persons to recommend or sell shares of the Funds to you. Contact your Financial Intermediary for details about revenue sharing payments it receives or may receive. Revenue sharing payments, as well as payments under the shareholder services and distribution plan (where applicable), also benefit the Adviser, and its affiliates to the extent the payments result in more assets being invested in a Fund on which fees are being charged.
The Funds have policies and procedures in place for the monitoring of payments to broker-dealers and other Financial Intermediaries for distribution-related activities and the following non-distribution activities: sub‑transfer agent, administrative, and other shareholder servicing services.
Shareholder information
Share Price
Shares of the Funds are sold at NAV per share, plus any applicable sales charge, which is calculated as of the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) is open for unrestricted business. However, the Fund’s NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. The NYSE is closed on weekends and most national holidays, including New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday/Presidents’ Day, Good
40


Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is closed for trading.
Purchase and redemption requests are priced based on the next NAV per share calculated after receipt of such requests and any applicable sales charge. The NAV is the value of a Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, minus all expenses and liabilities (assets – liabilities = NAV). NAV per share is determined by dividing NAV by the number of shares outstanding (NAV/ # of shares = NAV per share). The NAV takes into account the expenses and fees of a Fund, including management and administration fees, which are accrued daily.
In calculating the NAV, portfolio securities are valued using current market values or official closing prices, if available. Each security owned by a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. When the security is listed on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that a Fund generally considers to be the principal exchange on which the security is traded.
When determining NAV, the value of the Fund’s portfolio investments is based on readily available market quotations, which generally means a reliable valuation obtained from an exchange or other market, or fair value as determined by an independent pricing service and evaluated by the Adviser. If a market quotation is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately reflect the value of an investment, an investment will be valued by another method that the Adviser believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and the Adviser’s related procedures. Fair value pricing represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accordingly, the Fund’s NAV may reflect certain portfolio investments’ fair values rather than their market prices.
Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair value determination for an investment will materially differ from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value pricing may be applied to non-U.S. securities. The trading hours for most non-U.S. securities end prior to the close of the NYSE, the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. The occurrence of certain events after the close of non-U.S. markets, but prior to the close of the NYSE (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. market) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of non-U.S. securities when non-U.S. markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, a Fund may value non-U.S. securities at fair value, taking into account such events, when it calculates its NAV. Other types of securities that a Fund may hold for which fair value pricing might be required include, but are not limited to: (a) investments which are not frequently traded and/or the market price of which the Adviser believes may be stale; (b) illiquid securities, including “restricted” securities and private placements for which there is no public market; (c) securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; (d) securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; and (e) fixed income securities that have gone into default and for which there is not a current market value quotation.
Choosing a Class of Shares to Buy
For the variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix A to this Prospectus – Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations (“Appendix A”). All variations described in Appendix A are applied by the identified Financial Intermediary. Sales charge variations may apply to purchases, sales, exchanges and reinvestments of Fund shares and a shareholder transacting in Fund shares through an intermediary identified on Appendix A should read the terms and conditions of Appendix A carefully. A variation that is specific to a particular Financial Intermediary is not applicable to shares held directly with the Fund or through another intermediary. Please consult your Financial Intermediary with respect to any variations listed in Appendix A.
Investors not purchasing directly from the Funds may purchase shares through a Financial Intermediary. Please note that if you are purchasing shares through a Financial Intermediary, your Financial Intermediary may not offer all classes of shares. Financial Intermediaries making Fund shares available to their clients determine which share class(es) to make available. Your Financial Intermediary may receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for selling another class, which may depend on, among other things, the type of investor account and the practices adopted by your Financial Intermediary. Certain Financial
41


Intermediaries may impose their own investment fees and practices for purchasing and selling Fund shares, which are not described in this Prospectus or the SAI, and which will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the Financial Intermediary. Consult a representative of your Financial Intermediary about the availability of Fund shares and the Financial Intermediary’s practices and other information.
Individual investors investing through a Financial Intermediary may be eligible to invest in Class I or Class R shares, if such Financial Intermediary is acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Funds’ distributor and such investor’s shares are held in an omnibus account on the books of the Funds. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Please note that the Funds do not charge any front-end load, deferred sales charge or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution of Class I shares and Class R shares. However, if you purchase Class I or Class R shares through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Funds’ distributor, that Financial Intermediary may charge you a commission in an amount determined and separately disclosed to you by the Financial Intermediary. Because the Funds are not a party to any commission arrangement between you and your Financial Intermediary, any purchases and redemptions of Class I or Class R shares will be made by the Funds at the applicable net asset value (before imposition of the sales commission). Any commissions charged by a Financial Intermediary are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table or expense example in this Prospectus nor are they reflected in the performance in the bar chart and table in this Prospectus because these commissions are not charged by the Funds. Class I or Class R shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I or Class R shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.
Individual investors can generally invest in Class A and Class C shares. Individual investors who invest directly with a Fund and who meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement may purchase Class I shares. (Individual investors who held Class I shares of the Financial Services Fund prior to November 20, 2006 are permitted to make additional investments in Class I shares.)
Retirement Plan and Institutional Investors and Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries should refer to “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors” below for a description of the classes available to them. Each class has different sales charges and expenses, allowing you to choose a class that may be appropriate for you.
When choosing which class of shares to buy, you should consider:
How much you plan to invest
How long you expect to own the shares
The expenses paid by each class detailed in the fee table and example at the front of this Prospectus
Whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of sales charges
Availability of share classes
When choosing between Class A and Class C shares, you should be aware that, generally speaking, the larger the size of your investment and the longer your investment horizon, the more likely it will be that Class C shares will not be as advantageous as Class A shares. The annual distribution and service fees on Class C shares may cost you more over the longer term than the front-end sales charge and service fees you would have paid for larger purchases of Class A shares. If you are eligible to purchase Class I shares, you should be aware that Class I shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge and generally have lower annual expenses than Class A or Class C shares.
Each class of shares is authorized to pay fees for recordkeeping services to Financial Intermediaries . As a result, operating expenses of classes that incur new or additional recordkeeping fees may increase over time.
You may buy shares:
Through a Financial Intermediary. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
42


Directly from the Funds
Your Financial Intermediary may provide shareholder services that differ from the services provided by other Financial Intermediaries. Services provided by your Financial Intermediary may vary by class. You should ask your Financial Intermediary to explain the shareholder services it provides for each class and the compensation it receives in connection with each class. Remember that your Financial Intermediary may receive different compensation depending on the share class in which you invest.
Your Financial Intermediary may not offer all classes of shares. You should contact your Financial Intermediary for further information.
Fund imposed sales charges and waivers include the following:
Front-end sales charges that apply to the purchase of Class A shares
Contingent deferred sales charges that apply to the redemption of Class C shares and certain Class A shares

Sales Charges
You can find information about sales charges and breakpoints on the Funds’ website at www.1919funds.com and in the SAI, which is also available on the website free of charge. For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix A.
Class A shares
You buy Class A shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus a sales charge. You pay a lower rate as the size of your investment increases to certain levels called breakpoints. You do not pay a sales charge on the Funds’ distributions or dividends that you reinvest in additional Class A shares.
The tables below show the rate of sales charge you pay, depending on the amount you purchase. Because of rounding in the calculation of the “offering price”, the actual sales charge you pay may be more or less than that calculated using the percentages shown below. It also shows the amount of broker/dealer compensation that will be paid out of the sales charge if you buy Class A shares from a Financial Intermediary. Such Financial Intermediaries will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares and will retain the full amount of such sales charge. Financial Intermediaries will receive a Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee payable on Class A shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% (0.15% for the Maryland Fund) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A shares serviced by them. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

Starting in the thirteenth month after purchase, the annual 12b-1 distribution and service fee of up to 0.15% will be paid to the Financial Intermediary. Prior to the thirteenth month, this fee will be retained by the Fund. The Financial Intermediary will start receiving the annual 12b-1 distribution and service fee immediately if no commission is paid at purchase. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Investments of $1,000,000 or more
You do not pay a front-end charge when you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if you redeem these Class A shares within 18 months of purchase, you will pay a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%. Any CDSC is based on the original cost of the shares or the current market value, whichever is less.
Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge
There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of the Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule. In order to take advantage of reductions in sales charges that may be available to you when you purchase Fund shares, you must inform your Financial Intermediary if you are eligible for a letter of intent or a right of accumulation and if you own shares of other Funds that are eligible to be aggregated with your purchases. Certain records, such as account statements, may be necessary in order to verify your eligibility for a reduced sales charge.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”) You may combine your new purchase of Class A shares with Class A shares you currently own for the purpose of qualifying for the lower front-end charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable sales charge for the new purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current value, calculated using the current day public offering price of all other shares you own. You may also combine the account value of your spouse and children under the age of 21. Only the shares held at the intermediary or the transfer agent at which you are making the current purchase can be used for the purposes of a lower sales charge based on Rights of Accumulation.
If you hold Fund shares in accounts at two or more Financial Intermediaries, please contact your Financial Intermediaries to determine which shares may be combined.
Certain trustees and other fiduciaries may be entitled to combine accounts in determining their sales charge.
Letter of Intent (“LOI”) – By signing an LOI you can reduce your Class A sales charge. Your individual purchases will be made at the applicable sales charge based on the amount you intend to invest over a 13-month period. The LOI will apply to all purchases of 1919 Funds Class A shares. Any shares purchased within 90 days of the date you sign the letter of intent may be used as credit toward completion, but the reduced sales charge will only apply to new purchases made on or after that date. Purchases resulting from the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains do not apply toward fulfillment of the LOI. Shares equal to 5.75% of the amount of the LOI will be held in escrow during the 13-month period. If, at the end of that time the total amount of purchases made is less than the amount intended, you will be required to pay the
45


difference between the reduced sales charge and the sales charge applicable to the individual purchases had the LOI not been in effect. This amount will be obtained from redemption of the escrow shares. Any remaining escrow shares will be released to you.
If you establish an LOI with 1919 Funds you can aggregate your accounts as well as the accounts of your spouse and children under age 21. You will need to provide written instruction with respect to the other accounts whose purchases should be considered in fulfillment of the LOI. Only the accounts held at the Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent at which you are making the purchase can be used toward fulfillment of the LOI.
Reinstatement Privileges – If you sell Class A shares of a Fund and withdraw your money from that Fund, you may reinstate into the same account, within 365 days of the date of your redemption, without paying a front-end sales charge if you paid a front-end sales charge when you originally purchased your shares. For purposes of a CDSC, if you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares, you would be credited with the amount of the CDSC proportional to the amount reinvested. Reinstated shares will continue to age, as applicable, from the date that you bought your original shares. This privilege can be used only once per calendar year per account. Contact your Financial Intermediary, or for direct shareholders, call the Transfer Agent at 1‑844‑828-1919, for additional information.
You must identify and provide information to the Fund or your Financial Intermediary, as applicable, regarding your historical purchases and holdings, and you should also retain any records necessary to substantiate historical transactions and costs because the Funds, their transfer agent, and Financial Intermediaries will not be responsible for providing this information.
For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix A.
Waivers of front-end charges for certain Class A investors
Class A front-end charges are waived for the following types of investors, including:
Investors purchasing shares directly though the Fund
Employees of Financial Intermediaries
Those who qualify for the Reinstatement Privilege as discussed above
Trustees and officers of any 1919 Investment Counsel -sponsored fund
Employees of 1919 Investment Counsel and its subsidiaries
Investors who rollover fund shares from a qualified retirement plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform
Purchases by separate accounts used to fund unregistered variable annuity contracts
Purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in the Fund (or Class A shares of another Fund sold by the Adviser that is offered with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the Fund as described in “Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge,” “Reinstatement Privileges” section of the Prospectus, provided the reinvestment is made within 365 calendar days of the redemption
Purchases by investors participating in “wrap fee” or asset allocation programs or other fee-based arrangements sponsored by broker/dealers and other financial institutions
Purchases by direct retail investment platforms through mutual fund “supermarkets,” where the sponsor links its client’s account (including IRA accounts on such platforms) to a master account in the sponsor’s name.
Whether a sales charge waiver is available for your retirement plan or charitable account depends upon the policies and procedures of your Financial Intermediary. Investors should consult their financial advisor for further information.
46


If you qualify for a waiver of the Class A front-end sales charge, you must notify your Financial Intermediary or the Funds at the time of purchase and provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the front-end charge waiver. For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix A.
Class C shares
Class C shares may be purchased only through Financial Intermediaries. Class C shares of the Funds are offered without a front-end charge. This means that 100% of your initial investment is placed into shares of the applicable Fund. Class C shares pay up to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets as reimbursement or compensation for shareholder servicing and distribution-related activities with respect to the applicable Fund. Over time, fees paid under the distribution and service plans will increase the cost of a Class C shareholder’s investment and may cost more than other types of sales charges. Additionally, investors are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for Class C shares if shares are redeemed within 12 months after purchase. Any applicable CDSC is based on the lesser of the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being redeemed. The minimum initial investment for Class C Shares is $1,000 and the subsequent investment minimum is $50. No order for Class C Shares of any Fund may exceed $1,000,000.
Financial Intermediaries selling Class C shares generally are paid a commission of up to 1.00% (0.75% for the Maryland Fund) of the purchase price of the Class C shares they sell. Financial Intermediaries will receive Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee payments of up to 1.00% (0.70% for the Maryland Fund) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them following the first year of purchase.
If you sell (redeem) Class C shares of a Fund and withdraw your money from a Fund, you may reinstate into the same account, within 365 days of the date of your redemption, without paying either a front-end sales charge if you paid a front-end sales charge when you originally purchased your share or a CDSC if you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares. For purposes of the CDSC, you would be credited with the amount of the CDSC proportional to the amount reinvested. Reinstated shares will continue to age, as applicable, from the date that you bought your original shares. This privilege can be used only once per calendar year per account. Contact your Financial Intermediary for additional information. You must identify and provide information to the Fund or your Financial Intermediary, as applicable, regarding your historical purchases and holdings, and you should also retain any records necessary to substantiate historical transactions and costs because the Funds, their transfer agent, and Financial Intermediaries will not be responsible for providing this information.
Class C shares will be converted to Class A shares after the shares have been held for 8 years from the purchase date. It is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary and not the Funds, the Transfer Agent, Distributor or the Adviser to ensure that you are credited with the proper holding period. If your Financial Intermediary does not have records verifying that your shares have been held for at least 8 years, your Financial Intermediary may not convert your Class C shares to Class A shares. Group retirement plans held in an omnibus record keeping platform through a Financial Intermediary that does not track participant-level share lot aging may not convert Class C shares to Class A shares. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Class FI and Class R shares (not currently available for purchase)
You buy Class FI and Class R shares at net asset value with no front-end charge and no contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed. However, if you purchase Class I shares through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s distributor, the Financial Intermediary may charge you a commission in an amount determined and separately disclosed to you by the Financial Intermediary.
Financial Intermediaries receive an annual distribution and service fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets represented by Class FI shares serviced by them, up to 0.50% of the average daily net assets represented by Class R shares serviced by them.
Class I shares
You buy Class I shares at net asset value with no front-end charge and no contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed. Class I shares are not subject to any distribution and service fees. However, if you purchase Class I shares through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant
47


to an agreement with the Fund’s distributor, the Financial Intermediary may charge you a commission in an amount determined and separately disclosed to you by the Financial Intermediary.
Class I shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges  
The contingent deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of purchase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.
In addition, you do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge:
When you exchange shares for shares of another 1919 Fund
On shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends
On shares no longer subject to the contingent deferred sales charge
Each time you place a request to redeem shares, the Funds will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and then redeem the shares in your account that have been held the longest.
If you redeem shares of a Fund and pay a contingent deferred sales charge, you may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds within 365 days and receive pro rata credit for any contingent deferred sales charge imposed on the prior redemption. Please see “Reinstatement Privileges” section above.
Contingent deferred sales charge waivers
The contingent deferred sales charge for each share class will be waived:
On payments made through certain systematic withdrawal plans
On distributions from eligible Retirement Plans as defined under “Retirement and Institutional Investors – Eligible Investors”, “Retirement Plans” section below.
On redemptions in connection with lump-sum or other distributions made by eligible retirement plans or redemption of shares by participants in certain “wrap fee” or asset allocation programs sponsored by broker/dealers and other financial institutions that have entered into agreements with the Distributor or the Adviser
For Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds
For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder (as defined in the Code)
For mandatory post-retirement distributions from retirement plans or IRAs
For tax-free returns of an excess contribution to any retirement plan
To have your contingent deferred sales charge waived, you or your Financial Intermediary must let the Funds know at the time you redeem shares that you qualify for such a waiver.
Retirement and Institutional Investors — Eligible Investors
Retirement Plans
“Retirement Plans” include 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit-sharing plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other similar employer-sponsored retirement plans. Retirement Plans do not include individual retirement vehicles, such as traditional and Roth IRAs, Coverdell education savings accounts, individual 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, Keogh plans, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs or similar accounts.
48


Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund can generally invest in Class A, Class C, Class FI, Class R and Class I shares.
Investors who rollover Fund shares from a Retirement Plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform may hold, purchase and exchange shares of the Funds to the same extent as the applicable Retirement Plan.
Although Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds are not subject to minimum initial investment requirements for any of these share classes, certain investment minimums may be imposed by a Financial Intermediary. The Financial Intermediary may impose certain additional requirements. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Other Retirement Plans
“Other Retirement Plans” include Retirement Plans investing through brokerage accounts and also include certain Retirement Plans with direct relationships to the Funds that are neither Institutional Investors nor investing through omnibus accounts. Other Retirement Plans and individual retirement vehicles, such as IRAs, are treated like individual investors for purposes of determining sales charges and any applicable sales charge reductions or waivers.
“Other Retirement Plans” do not include arrangements whereby an investor would rollover Fund shares from a Retirement Plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform. Such arrangements are deemed to be “Retirement Plans” and are subject to the rights and privileges described under “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors — Retirement Plans.”
Other Retirement Plan investors can generally invest in Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Individual retirement vehicles may also choose between these share classes.
Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries
“Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries” are investors who invest in the Funds through Financial Intermediaries that (i) charge such investors an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services, or (ii)  offer Class A, Class FI, Class R or Class I shares through a no-load network or platform (“Eligible Investment Programs”). Such investors may include pension and profit sharing plans, other employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Eligible Investment Programs may also include college savings vehicles such as Section 529 plans and direct retail investment platforms through mutual fund “supermarkets,” where the sponsor links its client’s account (including IRA accounts on such platforms) to a master account in the sponsor’s name. The Financial Intermediary may impose separate investment minimums.
Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries may generally invest in Class A, Class FI, Class R or Class I shares. Class A and Class C shares of the Funds may convert to Class I shares by participants in the Eligible Investment Programs.
Institutional Investors
“Institutional Investors” may include corporations, banks, trust companies, insurance companies, investment companies, foundations, endowments, defined benefit plans and other similar entities. The Financial Intermediary may impose additional eligibility requirements or criteria to determine if an investor, including the types of investors listed above, qualifies as an Institutional Investor.
Institutional Investors may invest in Class I shares if they meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement. Institutional Investors may also invest in Class A and Class C shares, which have different investment minimums, fees and expenses.
Class A shares — Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans may buy Class A shares. Under programs for current and prospective Retirement Plan investors sponsored by Financial Intermediaries, the front-end charge and contingent deferred sales charge for Class A shares are waived where:
49


Such Retirement Plan’s record-keeper offers only load-waived shares,
Fund shares are held on the books of a Fund through an omnibus account
Financial Intermediaries selling Class A shares to Retirement Plans with a direct omnibus relationship with the Funds will not be paid a commission on the purchase price of Class A shares sold by them. However, for certain Retirement Plans that are permitted to purchase shares at net asset value, the Financial Intermediary may be paid a commission of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class A shares that are purchased with regular ongoing plan contributions. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Class C shares — Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds may buy Class C shares at net asset value without paying a contingent deferred sales charge. 1919ic does not pay Financial Intermediaries selling Class C shares to Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of a Fund a commission on the purchase price of Class C shares sold by them. Instead, immediately after purchase, these Financial Intermediaries may be paid an annual distribution and service fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them. Please see the SAI for more details.
Class FI shares
Class FI shares are offered only to Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries and Retirement Plan programs. Class FI shares are not currently offered.
Class R shares
Class R shares are offered only to Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds (either at the plan level or at the level of the Financial Intermediary), to Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries and through Eligible Investment Programs. Class R shares are not currently offered.
Class I shares
Class I shares are offered only to Institutional Investors and individual investors (investing directly with the Funds) who meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement, Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds and certain rollover IRAs, Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries, investors investing through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s distributor, and other investors authorized by 1919ic. (Individual investors who held Class I shares of the Financial Services Fund prior to November 20, 2006 are permitted to make additional investments in Class I shares.) Certain waivers of these requirements for individuals associated with the Fund are discussed in the SAI.
Investors who qualify as Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries or who participate in Eligible Investment Programs made available through their Financial Intermediaries (such as investors in fee-based advisory or mutual fund “wrap” programs) are eligible to purchase, directly or via exchange, Class I shares, among other share classes. In such cases your ability to hold Class I shares may be premised on your continuing participation in a fee-based advisory or mutual fund wrap program.
Your Financial Intermediary may reserve the right to redeem your Class I shares or exchange them for Class A shares of the Fund, as applicable, if you terminate your fee-based advisory or mutual fund wrap program and are no longer eligible for Class I shares. You may be subject to an initial sales charge in connection with such exchange, and you will be subject to the annual distribution and/or service fee applicable to Class A shares. Any redemption may generate a taxable gain or loss and significantly change the asset allocation of your account. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Certain waivers of these requirements for individuals associated with the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates are discussed in the SAI.
Other considerations
Plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and other Financial Intermediaries may choose to impose qualification requirements that differ from the Funds’ share class eligibility standards. In certain cases, this could result in the selection of a share class with higher distribution and service fees than otherwise would have been
50


charged. The Funds are not responsible for, and have no control over, the decision of any plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or Financial Intermediary to impose such differing requirements. Please consult with your plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or Financial Intermediary for more information about available share classes.
Your Financial Intermediary may not offer all share classes. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for additional details.
Buying Shares
Generally
You may buy shares at their net asset value next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent of your purchase request in good order, plus any applicable sales charge.

The Maryland Fund may not be available for sale in certain states. Prospective investors should inquire as to whether the fund is available for sale in their state of residence.
 
You must provide the following information for your order to be processed:
 
Name of fund being bought
 
Class of shares being bought
 
Dollar amount or number of shares being bought

Account number (if existing account)
Through a Financial Intermediary
You should contact your Financial Intermediary to open a brokerage account and make arrangements to buy shares.
 
Your Financial Intermediary may charge an annual account maintenance fee.

You may buy and sell shares of the Funds through certain brokers and financial intermediaries (and their agents) (collectively, “Brokers”) that have made arrangements with the Funds to sell their shares. When you place your order with such a Broker, your order is treated as if you had placed it directly with the Transfer Agent, and you will pay or receive the next applicable price calculated by the Fund. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker, or, if applicable, a broker’s designee receives the order.

Class I or Class R shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I or Class R shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.

Receipt of purchase orders or redemption requests is based on when the order is received on the Transfer Agent’s premises.

Subsequent purchases should be sent to the same address. Enclose a check made payable to the applicable Fund to pay for the shares and include the class of shares being bought, your account number and the name in which your account is registered.

You may authorize your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent to transfer funds automatically from (i) a regular bank account, (ii) cash held in a brokerage account with a Financial Intermediary or (iii) certain money market funds, in order to buy shares on a regular basis. If you wish to enroll in the AIP, complete the appropriate section on the Account application. Your signed Account application must be received at least 7 business days prior to the initial transaction.

Amounts transferred must meet the applicable minimums (see “Purchase and Sale of Fund shares”)

Amounts may be transferred monthly, every alternate month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually

A $25 fee will be imposed if your AIP transaction is returned for any reason.

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 sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal. Please contact your financial institution to determine if it is ACH network member. Your financial institution must be an ACH member in order for you to participate in the AIP.

The AIP is a method of using dollar cost averaging as an investment strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular time intervals. However, a program of regular investment cannot ensure a profit or protect against a loss as a result of declining markets. By continually investing the same amount, you will be purchasing more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. Please call 1-844-828-1919 for additional information regarding the Funds’ AIP.

For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.
Exchanging Shares
Generally You may exchange shares of one Fund for the same class of shares of other Funds on any day that both the Fund and the Fund into which you are exchanging are open for business.

An exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of another Fund is considered a taxable event and generally results in a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, unless you are investing through an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged account. An exchange of shares of one class directly for shares of another class of the same Fund normally should not be taxable for federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making an exchange.

The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term trading. A Fund may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege if you engage in a pattern of excessive exchanges.
1919 Investment Counsel offers a distinctive family of funds tailored to help meet the varying needs of large and small investors
You may exchange shares at their NAV next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent of your exchange request in good order.

If you bought shares through a Financial Intermediary, contact your Financial Intermediary to learn which funds your Financial Intermediary makes available to you for exchanges

If you bought shares directly, contact the Funds at 1‑844‑828‑1919 to learn which funds are available to you for exchanges

Exchanges may be made only between accounts that have identical registrations

Not all Funds offer all classes
 
Some Funds are offered only in a limited number of states. Your Financial Intermediary or the Fund will provide information about the Funds offered in your state
 
Always be sure to read the Prospectus of the Fund into which you are exchanging shares.
53


Investment minimums, sales charges and other requirements
In most instances, your shares will not be subject to a front-end charge or a contingent deferred sales charge at the time of the exchange. You may be charged an initial or contingent deferred sales charge if the shares being exchanged were not subject to a sales charge
 
Except as noted above, your contingent deferred sales charge (if any) will continue to be measured from the date of your original purchase of shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and you will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge of the Fund that you originally purchased
 
You will generally be required to meet the minimum investment requirement for the class of shares of the fund or share class into which your exchange is made (except in the case of systematic exchange plans)
 
Your exchange will also be subject to any other requirements of the fund or share class into which you are exchanging shares
 
The Funds may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege if you engage in a pattern of excessive exchanges

Through a systematic exchange plan
You may be permitted to schedule automatic exchanges of shares of a Fund for shares of other Funds offered in this Prospectus. All requirements for exchanging shares described above apply to these exchanges. In addition:
 
Exchanges may be made monthly, every alternate month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
 
Each exchange must meet the applicable investment minimums for systematic investment plans (see “Purchase and Sale of Fund shares”)
 
For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.
Converting Shares
Generally Investors currently owning Class A, Class C or Class FI shares who qualify as Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries and participate in Eligible Investment Programs made available through their financial intermediaries (such as investors in fee-based advisory or mutual fund “wrap” programs), may convert to Class I shares of the same Fund under certain limited circumstances. Investors currently owning Class C shares who qualify as above, may convert to Class A shares under certain limited circumstances. Please refer to the section of this Prospectus titled “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors” or contact your financial intermediary for more information.
54


Class C Class C shares will be converted to Class A shares after the shares have been held for 8 years from the purchase date. It is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary and not the Funds, the Transfer Agent, Distributor or the Adviser to ensure that you are credited with the proper holding period. If your Financial Intermediary does not have records verifying that your shares have been held for at least 8 years, your Financial Intermediary may not convert your Class C shares to Class A shares. Group retirement plans held in an omnibus record keeping platform through a Financial Intermediary that does not track participant-level share lot aging may not convert Class C shares to Class A shares. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Redeeming Shares
Generally You may redeem shares at their NAV next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent of your redemption request in good order, less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.
 
If the shares are held by a fiduciary or corporation, partnership or similar entity, other documents may be required.
Redemption proceeds
The Funds typically send the redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day when the New York Stock Exchange (“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. While not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven days.If you did not purchase your shares with a wire payment, before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you are selling, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected, which may take up to 15 calendar days from the purchase date. 

Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than seven days if the NYSE is closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, if an emergency exists, or otherwise as permitted by order of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or by the federal securities law.
Redemption proceeds continued
If you have a brokerage account with a Financial Intermediary, your redemption proceeds will be sent to your Financial Intermediary. Your redemption proceeds can be sent by check to your address of record or by wire or electronic transfer (ACH) to your pre-designated bank account. There is a $15 wire charge per wire which will be deducted from your account balance on dollar specific trades or from the proceeds on complete redemptions and share specific trades. There is no charge for proceeds sent via the ACH network; however, most ACH transfers require two to three days for the bank account to receive credit. Telephone redemptions cannot be made if you notify the Transfer Agent of a change of address within 30 days before the redemption request. To change the bank account designated to receive wire or electronic transfers, you will be required to deliver a new written authorization and may be asked to provide other documents.
 
In other cases, unless you direct otherwise, your proceeds will be paid by check mailed to your address of record.
 
The Funds typically expect to meet redemption requests by paying out proceeds from cash or cash equivalent portfolio holdings, or by selling portfolio holdings. In stressed market conditions, redemption methods may include paying redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from a Fund’s portfolio (a “redemption in-kind”). You may pay transaction costs to dispose of the securities, and you may receive less for them than the price at which they were valued for purposes of the redemption.

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 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.

Your written request must provide the following:
 
The Fund name, the class of shares being redeemed and your account number
 
The dollar amount or number of shares being redeemed
 
Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered, with a signature guarantee, if applicable
 
Signature guarantees, as applicable (see “Additional Information about Transactions”)


If you have an IRA or other retirement plan, you must indicate on your written redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests failing to indicate an election to have tax withheld will be subject to 10% withholding.
By telephone
If your account application permits, you may be eligible to redeem shares by telephone up to $50,000. Contact your Financial Intermediary or, if you hold shares directly with the Funds, call the Funds at 1‑844‑828‑1919 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central time (9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern time) for more information. Please have the following information ready when you call:

Name of Fund being redeemed
 
Class of shares being redeemed
 
Account number
56


By telephone continued
Before executing an instruction received by telephone, the Transfer Agent will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine. The telephone call may be recorded and the caller may be asked to verify certain personal identification information. If the Funds or its agents follow these procedures, they cannot be held liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone redemption request that is reasonably believed to be genuine. This includes fraudulent or unauthorized requests. The Funds may change, modify or terminate these telephone redemption privileges at any time upon at least 60 days’ written notice to shareholders. If an account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Funds will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. 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). Shares held in IRA or other retirement accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1-844-828-1919. Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any distribution. Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call wait times. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close.
Systemic
Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”)
You may be permitted to schedule automatic redemptions of a portion of your shares. To qualify, you must own shares of a Fund with a value of at least $10,000 for Class A and C shares ($5,000 for Retirement Plan accounts) and each automatic redemption must be at least $50.
 
The following conditions apply:
 
Redemptions may be made monthly, every alternate month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
 
If your shares are subject to a CDSC, the charge will be required to be paid upon redemption. However, the charge will be waived if your automatic redemptions are equal to or less than 2% per month of your account balance on the date the redemptions commence, up to a maximum of 12% in one year

You must inform your Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent at the time you establish your Systematic Withdrawal that you are eligible for any CDSC waiver.
 
You should elect to have all dividends and distributions reinvested

If you elect this method of redemption, the Fund will send a check directly to your address of record, or will send the payments directly to a pre-authorized bank account by electronic funds transfer via the ACH network. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account. This SWP may be terminated or modified by a shareholder or the Fund at any time without charge or penalty. You may also elect to terminate your participation in this SWP at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal.

A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of the Fund’s shares, and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted. To establish the SWP, complete the “Systematic Withdrawal Plan” section of the Fund’s account application. Please call 1‑844‑828‑1919 for additional information regarding the Funds’ SWP.
IRA Redemptions

Shareholders who hold their shares through an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their written redemption request whether or not 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 accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1‑844‑828‑1919. Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any distribution.
For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.

Additional Information about Transactions
When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order. This means you have provided the following information, without which your request may not be processed:
Name of the Fund
Your account number
In the case of a purchase (including a purchase as part of an exchange transaction), the class of shares being bought
In the case of an exchange or redemption, the class of shares being exchanged or redeemed (if you own more than one class)
Dollar amount or number of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed
In certain circumstances, the signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered with a signature guarantee, if applicable (see “Redeeming Shares”)
All checks must be in U.S. Dollars drawn on a domestic bank. The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. The Funds do not accept postdated checks or any conditional order or payment. 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. . If your check is returned for any reason, a $25 fee will be assessed against your account. You will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Fund as a result.
Shares of the Funds have not been registered 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.
In certain circumstances, such as during periods of market volatility, severe weather and emergencies, shareholders may experience difficulties placing exchange or redemption orders by telephone. In that case, shareholders should consider using the Funds’ other exchange and redemption procedures described under “Exchanging Shares” and “Redeeming Shares.”
The Transfer Agent or the Funds will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemption request is genuine, which may include recording calls, asking the caller to provide certain personal identification information, sending you a written confirmation or requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time. If these procedures are followed, neither the Funds nor their agents will bear any liability for these transactions.
The Trust reserves the right in its sole discretion to:
Suspend the continued offering of shares
Reject any purchase or exchange order in whole or in part when in the judgment of the Adviser or the Distributor such rejection is in the best interest of a Fund
Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
Suspend telephone transactions
Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the NYSE is restricted or as otherwise permitted by the SEC
Transfer your mutual fund account to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws.
The Adviser reserves the right to:
reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments for certain fiduciary accounts or under circumstances where certain economies can be achieved in sales of a Fund’s shares
It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory
58


requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be considered abandoned. The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. Your mutual fund account may be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the "inactivity period" specified in your State's abandoned property laws.The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction. Investors with a state of residence in Texas have the ability to designate a representative to receive legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications. Please contact the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for further information.
For your protection, the Funds or your Financial Intermediary may request additional information in connection with large redemptions, unusual activity in your account, or otherwise to ensure your redemption request is in good order. Please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds for more information.
Householding
In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, supplements, and certain other shareholder documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders we reasonably believe are from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-844-828-1919 to request individual copies of documents. Once the Funds receive notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.
Signature guarantees
A signature guarantee, from either a Medallion program member or a non-Medallion program member is required if you:
Are changing ownership on your account
Are redeeming shares and sending the proceeds to an address or bank not currently on file
Are redeeming shares and your account address has changed within 30 calendar days
Are redeeming shares and want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)
Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different registration
For redemption requests in excess of $50,000
The Funds or the Adviser may waive any of the above requirements in certain instances. In addition to the situations described above, the Funds, the Adviser, and/or the Transfer Agent reserve the right to require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation.
Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain 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.
Signature guarantees will generally be accepted 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”). A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.
Anti-money laundering
In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Trust’s Anti-Money Laundering 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. Accounts may be restricted and/or
59


closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.
Mandatory redemptions direct accounts
Direct accounts generally include accounts held in the name of the individual investor on a Fund’s books and records. The Funds reserve the right to ask you to bring your direct account up to a minimum investment amount determined by the Adviser if the aggregate value of the fund shares in your account falls below $500 for any reason (including solely due to declines in net asset value and/or failure to invest at least $500 within a reasonable period). You will be notified in writing and will have 60 days to make an additional investment to bring your account value up to the required level. If you choose not to do so within this 60-day period, the Fund may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds. The small account fee will not be charged on, if applicable: (i) Retirement Plans (but will be charged on other plans that are not employer-sponsored such as traditional and Roth IRAs, Coverdell education savings accounts, individual 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, Keogh plans, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs or similar accounts); (ii) 1919 Funds that are closed to subsequent purchases for all classes; (iii) accounts that do not have a valid address as evidenced by mail being returned to the Fund or its agents; and (iv) Class FI, Class R, and Class I shares. If your share class is no longer offered, you may not be able to bring your account up to the minimum investment amount. Some shareholders who hold accounts in multiple classes of the same fund may have those accounts aggregated for the purposes of these calculations. If your account is closed, you will not be eligible to have your account reinstated without imposition of any sales charges that may apply to your new purchase. Please contact the Funds for more information. Any redemption of Fund shares may result in tax consequences to you (see “Taxes” for more information).
Mandatory redemptions non-direct accounts
“Non-direct accounts” include omnibus accounts and accounts jointly maintained by the Financial Intermediary and the Funds.
The Funds reserve the right to ask you to bring your non-direct account up to a minimum investment amount determined by your Financial Intermediary if the aggregate value of the fund shares in your account is less than $500 for any reason (including solely due to declines in net asset value and/or failure to invest at least $500 within a reasonable period). You will be notified in writing and will have 60 days to make an additional investment to bring your account value up to the required level. If you choose not to do so within this 60-day period, the Fund may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds. If your share class is no longer offered, you may not be able to bring your account up to the minimum investment amount. Some shareholders who hold accounts in multiple classes of the same fund may have those accounts aggregated for the purposes of these calculations. If your account is closed, you will not be eligible to have your account reinstated without imposition of any sales charges that may apply to your new purchase. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information. Any redemption of Fund shares may result in tax consequences to you (see “Taxes” for more information).
All accounts
The Funds may, with prior notice, change the minimum size of accounts subject to mandatory redemption, which may vary by class, implement fees for small non-direct accounts or change the amount of the fee for small direct accounts.
Subject to applicable law, the Funds may, with prior notice, adopt other policies from time to time requiring mandatory redemption of shares in certain circumstances.
For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.
Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions
The Board has adopted policies and procedures to prevent frequent transactions in the Funds. The Funds discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm the Funds’ performance. Shareholders having accounts directly with a Fund will be restricted to no more than four “round trips” during any 12 month period. A round trip is an exchange or redemption out of a Fund followed by an exchange or purchase back into the same Fund. The Funds may take
60


other steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in the Funds. These steps may include imposing a redemption fee, monitoring trading practices and using fair value pricing. Although these efforts are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that such activity may occur. Further, while the Funds make efforts to identify and restrict frequent trading, the Funds receive purchase and sale orders through financial intermediaries and cannot always know or detect frequent trading that may be facilitated by the use of intermediaries or the use of group or omnibus accounts by those intermediaries.
The Funds monitor selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, the Funds believe 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 Funds seek to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests of shareholders. Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Funds handle, there can be no assurance that the Funds efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In addition, the Funds ability to monitor trades that are placed by individual shareholders within group or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries is limited because the Fund does not have simultaneous access to the underlying shareholder account information.
In compliance with Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor, on behalf of each of the Funds, has entered into written agreements with each of the Fund’s financial intermediaries, under which the intermediary must, upon request, provide the Funds with certain shareholder identity and trading information so that each Fund can enforce its market timing policies.
The Funds employ fair value pricing selectively, as discussed above, 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.
Record ownership
If you hold shares through a Financial Intermediary, your Financial Intermediary may establish and maintain your account and be the shareholder of record. In the event that the Funds hold a shareholder meeting, your Financial Intermediary, as record holder, will be entitled to vote your shares and may seek voting instructions from you. If you do not give your Financial Intermediary voting instructions, your Financial Intermediary, under certain circumstances, may nonetheless be entitled to vote your shares.
Dividends, Other Distributions and Taxes
Dividends and other distributions
The Financial Services Fund generally declares and pays dividends once annually, in December. The Socially Responsive Fund generally pays dividends from any net investment income and net short-term capital gains quarterly. The Maryland Fund generally declares dividends from any net investment income daily and pays them monthly. The Funds generally pay any distributions from net long-term capital gain once annually. The Funds may pay additional distributions and dividends in order to avoid a federal tax.
Unless you elect to receive dividends and/or other distributions in cash, your dividends and capital gain distributions will be automatically reinvested in shares of the same class you hold, at the net asset value determined on the reinvestment date. You do not pay a sales charge on reinvested distributions or dividends.
If you hold Class A or Class C shares directly with a Fund, you may instruct the Fund to have your dividends and/or distributions invested in the corresponding class of shares of another 1919 Fund, subject to the following conditions:
You have a minimum account balance of $10,000 in a Fund, and
The other Fund is available for sale in your state.
To change those instructions, you must notify your Financial Intermediary or the Fund at least five days before the next distribution is to be paid.
61


If you elect to receive distributions and/or capital gains paid in cash, and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account, at the Fund’s current net asset value, and to reinvest all subsequent distributions. You may change the distribution option on your account by telephone or in writing. Any change should be submitted five days prior to the next distribution.
Please contact your Financial Intermediary or the applicable Fund to discuss what options are available to you for receiving your dividends and other distributions.
The Board reserves the right to revise the dividend policy or postpone the payment of dividends if warranted in the Board’s judgment due to unusual circumstances.
Taxes
The following discussion is very general, applies only to shareholders who are U.S. persons, and does not address shareholders subject to special rules, such as those who hold Fund shares through an IRA, 401(k) plan or other tax-advantaged account. Except as specifically noted, the discussion is limited to federal income tax matters and does not address state, local, foreign or non-income taxes. Further information regarding taxes, including certain federal income tax considerations relevant to non-U.S. persons, is included in the SAI. Because each shareholder’s circumstances are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about federal, state, local and/or foreign tax considerations that may be relevant to your particular situation.
Each Fund has elected and intends to qualify each year for treatment as a RIC. If it meets certain minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, a Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in fund-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
At least annually, each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and its net realized capital gains, if any. The dividends and distributions you receive from the Funds may be subject to federal, state and local taxation, depending upon your tax situation. If so, they are taxable whether or not you reinvest them. Income distributions, including net short-term capital gains, are generally taxable at ordinary income tax rates except to the extent they are designated as qualified dividend income.
Distributions that a Fund reports as “qualified dividend income” may be eligible to be taxed to non-corporate shareholders at the reduced rates applicable to long-term capital gain if certain requirements are satisfied. The Maryland Fund does not expect any distributions to be treated as qualified dividend income. Distributions attributable to short-term capital gains are taxable to you as ordinary income. Distributions of net capital gain reported by a Fund as capital gain dividends are taxable to you as long-term capital gain regardless of how long you have owned your shares. Non-corporate shareholders ordinarily pay tax at reduced rates on long-term capital gain.
Corporate shareholders may be entitled to a dividends received deduction for the portion of dividends they receive from a Fund that are attributable to dividends received by the Fund from U.S. corporations, subject to certain limitations. The Maryland Fund does not expect any distributions to be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
A RIC that receives business interest income may pass through its net business interest income for purposes of the tax rules applicable to the interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Code. A RIC’s total “Section 163(j) Interest Dividend” for a tax year is limited to the excess of the RIC’s business interest income over the sum of its business interest expense and its other deductions properly allocable to its business interest income. A RIC may, in its discretion, designate all or a portion of ordinary dividends as Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, which would allow the recipient shareholder to treat the designated portion of such dividends as interest income for purposes of determining such shareholder’s interest expense deduction limitation under Section 163(j). This can potentially increase the amount of a shareholder’s interest expense deductible under Section 163(j). In general, to be eligible to treat a Section 163(j) Interest Dividend as interest income, you must have held your shares in a Fund for more than 180 days during the 361-day period beginning on the date that is 180 days before the date on which the share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, if so designated by a Fund, will be reported to your financial
62


intermediary or otherwise in accordance with the requirements specified by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”).
The Maryland Fund intends to qualify to pay “exempt-interest dividends” to its shareholders by satisfying the requirement that at the close of each quarter of its taxable year at least 50% of the value of its total assets consist of obligations, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax. As long as this and certain other requirements are met, dividends derived from the Maryland Fund’s net tax-exempt interest income will be “exempt-interest dividends” that may be excluded from shareholders’ gross income for federal income tax purposes. Most distributions from the Maryland Fund are expected to be exempt-interest dividends, which are exempt from federal income tax but may be subject to state or local income taxes. Exempt-interest dividends from Maryland municipal securities will also be exempt from Maryland personal income tax. Some exempt-interest dividends may be subject to the federal AMT applicable. In addition, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, exempt-interest dividends may affect the federal corporate AMT for certain corporations. Income from municipal bonds held by the Maryland Fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the IRS or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. Interest paid on a municipal bond issued after December 31, 2017 to advance refund another municipal bond is subject to federal income tax. Distributions of capital gains and any investment income that is not exempt from federal income tax are generally taxable to you regardless of whether you reinvest them in additional shares of a Fund or receive them in cash. The Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund will not pay exempt-interest dividends. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments.
While the Maryland Fund intends, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 50% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax in order to meet the requirements necessary for a Fund to pay out exempt-interest dividends to its shareholders, if the Maryland Fund fails to meet this requirement, the income from all of its investments, including its municipal securities, may be subject to federal income tax.
The following table summarizes the tax status of certain transactions related to the Funds.
Transaction Maryland tax status Federal income tax status
Applicable to each of the Funds
Redemption or exchange of shares Usually capital gain or loss; long-term only if shares are owned more than one year Usually capital gain or loss; long-term only if shares are owned more than one year
Distributions of net
short-term capital gain
Generally taxable as ordinary income; exempt from Maryland personal income tax if attributable to gain on sale of certain Maryland municipal securities Generally taxable as ordinary income
Distributions of net capital gain (excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss) Long-term capital gain; exempt from Maryland personal income tax if attributable to gain on sale of certain Maryland municipal securities Long-term capital gain
Dividends of investment income Generally taxable as ordinary income Taxable as ordinary income unless they qualify for treatment as qualified dividend income
Applicable only to the Maryland Tax-Free Income Fund
Exempt-interest dividends Exempt from personal income tax if from interest on Maryland municipal securities Excludable from gross income, may be subject to the federal AMT

You may want to avoid buying shares when a Fund is about to declare a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution because it will be taxable to you even though it may economically represent a return of a portion of your investment.
A tax is imposed at the rate of 3.8% on net investment income of U.S. individuals with income exceeding specified thresholds, and on undistributed net investment income of certain estates and trusts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends (other than exempt-interest dividends) and capital gain distributions paid by a Fund and gain on the redemption or exchange of Fund shares.
A dividend declared by a Fund in October, November or December and paid during January of the following year will, in certain circumstances, be treated as paid in December for tax purposes.
After the end of each year your Financial Intermediary or the applicable Fund will provide you with information about the distributions and dividends you received, including exempt-interest dividends, and any redemptions of shares during the previous year. Because each shareholder’s circumstances are different and special tax rules may apply, you should consult your tax adviser about your investment in a Fund.
By law, the Funds must withhold as backup withholding a percentage of your distributions (including exempt-interest dividends) and redemption proceeds if you do not provide your correct social security or taxpayer identification number and certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or if the IRS instructs the Funds to do so. The current rate of backup withholding is 24%.
The Funds will be required to report to the IRS all distributions of taxable income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares, except in the case of exempt shareholders, which includes most corporations. The Funds will also be required to report tax basis information for such shares and indicate whether these shares had a short-term or long-term holding period. If a shareholder has a different basis for different shares of a Fund in the same account (e.g., if a shareholder purchased shares in the same account at different times for different prices), the Fund calculates the basis of the shares sold using its default method unless the shareholder has properly elected to use a different method. Each Fund’s default method for calculating basis is the average cost basis method, under which the basis per share is reported as the average of the bases of all of the shareholder’s Fund shares in the account. A shareholder may elect, on an account-by-account basis, to use a method other than average cost basis method by following procedures established by the Funds or their administrative agent. If such an election is made on or prior to the date of the first exchange or redemption of shares in the account and on or prior to the date that is one year after the shareholder receives notice of the applicable Fund’s default method, the new election will generally apply as if the average cost method had never been in effect for such account. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of applying the average cost method or electing another method of basis calculation. Shareholders also should carefully review any cost basis information provided to them by the Funds and make any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns.
In general, redeeming shares, selling or exchanging shares and receiving distributions other than exempt-interest dividends (whether in cash, additional shares or shares of another Fund) are all taxable events. An exchange between classes of shares of the same Fund normally is not taxable for federal income tax purposes, whether or not the shares are held in a taxable account. Depending on the purchase price and the sale price of the shares you sell, you may have a gain or a loss on the transaction, which should generally be treated as a capital gain or loss. Capital gain or loss realized upon a sale or exchange of Fund shares held for twelve months or less is generally treated as short-term capital gain or loss, except that any capital loss on the sale of Fund shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that capital gain dividends were paid with respect to such Fund shares and disallowed to the extent that exempt-interest dividends were paid with respect to such Fund shares. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transaction. The Code limits the deductibility of capital losses in certain circumstances.
Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income. Although in some countries a portion of these taxes is recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the income received from the securities comprising the portfolio of a Fund. If a Fund meets certain requirements with respect to its holdings, it may elect to “pass through” to shareholders foreign taxes that it pays, in which case each shareholder will include the amount of such taxes in computing gross income, but will be eligible to claim a
64


credit or deduction for such taxes, subject to generally applicable limitations on such deductions and credits. A Fund’s investment in certain foreign securities, foreign currencies or foreign currency derivatives may accelerate Fund distributions to shareholders and increase the distributions taxed to shareholders as ordinary income.
Additional information concerning taxation of the Funds and their shareholders is contained in the SAI. Tax consequences are not the primary consideration of the Funds in making their investment decisions. If you have a tax-advantaged retirement account, you will generally not be subject to federal taxation on any dividends and capital gain distributions until you begin receiving your distributions from your retirement account. You should consult your own tax adviser concerning federal, state and local taxation of distributions from the Funds.

A-3



Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)

Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective on or after March 3, 2021, the following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in the mutual fund prospectus or statement of additional information ("SAI") or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of 1919 Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in the prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation ("ROA")
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of 1919 Funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent ("LOI")
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Sales Charge Waivers
Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones' policies and procedures.
Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
A-4



Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.
Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) Waivers
If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
The death or disability of the shareholder.
Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.
Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations.
