Investment Advisor

Lowe, Brockenbrough & Company, Inc.

Portfolio Managers

The following persons are primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund:

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares

Minimum Initial Investment — $5,000, except the minimum is $1,000 for tax-deferred retirement accounts. Financial intermediaries may impose their own minimum investment requirements. 

Minimum Subsequent Investment — None, except the minimum for participants in the Automatic Investment Plan is $100

The Fund’s shares are redeemable. You may purchase or redeem (sell) shares of the Fund on each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. Transactions may be initiated by written request, by wire transfer or through your financial institution.

Tax Information

Distributions by the Fund are generally taxed as ordinary income or capital gains unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account, or you are a tax-exempt investor.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Additional Investment Information 

Investment Objective and Policies (Principal)

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. Current income is incidental to this objective and may not be significant. The investment objective of the Fund may not be changed without the prior approval of a majority (as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Fund’s shares.

Under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets (including the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in equity securities (“80% Policy”). The Fund’s compliance with the 80% Policy is generally determined at the time of investment. Although the Fund will comply with its 80% Policy under normal circumstances, the Fund may temporarily depart from its 80% Policy under unusual circumstances, as determined by the Adviser. For example, the Fund may depart from its 80% Policy when market conditions warrant the Fund taking a temporary defensive position (as discussed in more detail below in “Temporary Defensive Strategies”) or in other limited circumstances, such as in the event of unusually large cash inflows or redemptions. The Fund’s shareholders will be provided with at least 60 days’ prior notice of any change in its 80% Policy.

Equity Selection. Equity securities are selected based on several criteria, including, among other things:

Non-Principal Investment Policies

Foreign Investments. The Fund may invest in foreign issuers in the form of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) or through investments in ETFs that invest primarily in common stocks of foreign companies. ADRs are securities that are generally issued by a U.S. bank to U.S. buyers as a substitute for direct ownership of a foreign security and are traded on U.S. exchanges. ETFs that invest primarily in foreign companies may include regional and/or country specific ETFs. The Fund will invest in foreign issuers when, in the Advisor’s opinion, such investments would be advantageous to the Fund and would help it to achieve its investment objective.

Money Market Instruments. Money market instruments, short-term liquid investments or cash will typically represent a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, as funds awaiting investment, to accumulate cash for anticipated purchases of portfolio securities and to provide for shareholder redemptions and operational expenses of the Fund. Money market instruments mature in 13 months or less and include U.S. Government obligations, repurchase agreements, bank debt instruments, shares of money market funds and other short-term obligations. When the Fund invests in shares of money market funds, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund will indirectly pay a proportionate share of the money market fund’s advisory fees and operating expenses.

Temporary Defensive Strategies. For temporary defensive purposes, when the Advisor determines that market conditions warrant, the Fund may depart from its normal investment strategies and money market instruments may be emphasized, even to the point that 100% of the Fund’s assets may be so invested. Market conditions that may warrant a temporary defensive measure include weak market fundamentals, excessive volatility or a prolonged general decline in the securities markets or in the securities in which the Fund normally invests.

Illiquid Investments. The Fund may invest up to 15% of the value of its net assets in securities or other investments that are illiquid. Illiquid securities are investments that cannot reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions, within seven calendar days, without significantly impacting the market value of the investment.

Non-Principal Risks

Foreign Investment Risk. Investment in foreign securities involves risks that may be different from those of U.S. securities, including the risk that foreign economies may be less stable than the U.S. economy. Foreign securities may not be subject to uniform audit, financial reporting or disclosure standards, practices, or requirements comparable to those found in the United States. Foreign security issuers may also be subject to political, economic or market instability, unfavorable government action in their local jurisdictions, or economic sanctions, tariffs, trade agreements or other restrictions imposed by U.S. or foreign regulators. The risks associated with tensions or open conflict between nations, such as the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union (“Brexit”), and ongoing trade negotiations with China, or political dysfunction within some nations that are global economic powers, could affect the economies of many nations, including the U.S., in ways that cannot be foreseen. In addition, the dividends payable on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes. Foreign securities may also be subject to foreign currency risk, which is the risk that the value of the foreign security will decrease due to changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and the security’s underlying foreign currency.

ADRs and ETFs investing in foreign securities are subject to risks similar to those associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In a sponsored depositary arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes the obligation to pay some or all of the depositary’s transaction fees. Under an unsponsored depositary arrangement, the foreign issuer assumes no obligation and the depositary’s transaction fees are paid directly by the depositary holders. Because unsponsored depositary arrangements are organized independently and without the cooperation of the issuer of the underlying securities, available information concerning the foreign issuer may not be as current as for sponsored depositaries and voting rights with respect to the deposited securities are not passed through to the holders.

Money Market Instruments/Temporary Defensive Strategies. Holding cash, even strategically, may lead to missed investment opportunities particularly when the stock market is rising. A low interest rate environment may prevent U.S. Government obligations or money market instruments from keeping pace with inflation. U.S. Government obligations may or may not be backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government. There is a risk that the U.S. will not provide financial support to U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities that are not backed by the “full faith and credit” of the U.S. Government if it is not obligated to do so by law. When the Fund invests for temporary defensive purposes, it may not achieve its investment objective.

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk associated with any event, circumstances, or characteristic of an investment or market that negatively impacts the Fund’s ability to sell, or realize the proceeds from the sale of an investment at a desirable time or price. Certain investments that were liquid at the time of purchase may later become illiquid, particularly in times of overall economic stress or during changing regulatory, market, or other conditions.

Inflation Risk. The Fund is subject to inflation risk, which is the risk that the present value of assets or income from investments will be less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money. Unanticipated or persistent inflation may also have a material adverse impact on the financial conditions or results of a company’s operations which may cause the value of the Fund’s holdings in such companies to decline. In addition, higher interest rates that often accompany or follow periods of higher inflation may cause investors to favor asset classes other than stocks, which may lead to broader market declines not necessarily related to the performance of specific companies.

Cybersecurity Risk. Cybersecurity breaches may allow an unauthorized party to gain access to the Fund’s assets, customer data, or proprietary information or cause the Fund and/or its service providers to suffer data corruption or to lose operational functionality. These breaches may be intentional (such as “hacking” or infections from computer viruses or other malicious software codes) or unintentional (such as an inadvertent release of confidential information). Cybersecurity breaches may affect the Fund, the issuers owned by the Fund, or the Fund’s third-party service providers.

How to Purchase Shares 

There are no sales charges (loads) on purchases of shares of the Fund. You may obtain assistance in opening an account by calling Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (the “Administrator”) toll-free 1-866-738-1126, or by writing to the Administrator at the address shown below for regular mail orders. You may also obtain assistance through any broker-dealer or financial institution authorized to sell shares of the Fund. Contact your brokerage firm or financial institution to determine whether it is authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund. An investor transacting in shares of the Fund 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.

You may open an account by mail or bank wire or through your broker or financial institution by following the procedures described below:

Minimum Initial Investment. The minimum initial investment in the Fund is $5,000, or $1,000 for tax-deferred retirement accounts. The Fund may, in the Advisor’s sole discretion, accept certain accounts with less than the stated minimum initial investment. The Fund reserves the right to waive the minimum initial investment requirements for certain financial intermediaries that use the Fund as part of an asset allocation program, certain retirement plans, and accounts that hold the Fund in omnibus name. Financial intermediaries may impose their own minimum investment requirements.

Mail Orders. An Account Application is available by calling 1-866-738-1126 or on the Fund’s website at https://funddocs.filepoint.com/jamestown. Please complete and sign the Account Application, enclose your check made payable to the Fund, and mail it to:

All purchase checks must be written in U.S. dollars and drawn on a U.S. bank. The Fund does not accept cash, drafts, “starter” checks, travelers’ checks, credit card checks, post-dated checks, cashier’s checks under $10,000, or money orders. In addition, to protect the Fund from check fraud, the Fund does not accept checks made payable to third parties. You may not use ACH to make an initial purchase.

By sending your check to the Administrator, please be aware that you are authorizing the Administrator to make a one-time electronic debit from your account at the financial institution indicated on your check. Your bank account will be debited as early as the same day the Administrator receives your payment in the amount of your check; no additional amount will be added to the total. The transaction will appear on your bank statement. Your original check will be destroyed once processed, and you will not receive your cancelled check. If the Administrator cannot post the transaction electronically, you authorize the Administrator to present an image copy of your check for payment. If an order to purchase shares is cancelled because your check or ACH payment does not clear, you will be charged a fee of $25 and you will be responsible for any other resulting losses or fees incurred by the Fund or the Administrator in the transaction.

Bank Wire Orders. You may invest in the Fund by bank wire. To establish a new account or add to an existing account by wire, please call the Administrator at 1-866-738-1126 before wiring funds for instructions. You should be prepared to give the Administrator the name in which the account is to be established, the address, telephone number and taxpayer identification number for the account, and the name of the bank that will wire the money. For initial purchases, please provide the Administrator, by mail or facsimile, with a completed, signed Account Application, to help ensure prompt handling of your investment.

It is important that the wire contains all information and that the Administrator receives prior telephone notification to ensure proper credit. Once your wire is sent you should, as soon as possible thereafter, complete and mail your Account Application to the Administrator as described under “Regular Mail Orders” above.

Through Your Broker or Financial Institution. Shares of the Fund may be purchased through certain brokerage firms and financial institutions that are authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund. These organizations may be authorized to designate intermediaries to accept orders on behalf of the Fund. Purchase orders will be considered to have been received by the Fund when an authorized brokerage firm, financial institution, or its authorized designee, accepts the order. Orders will be priced at the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) next determined after your order is received by such organization, or its authorized designee, in proper form. These organizations may charge you transaction fees on purchases of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who purchase shares directly through the Fund. These organizations may be the shareholders of record of your shares. The Fund is not responsible for ensuring that these organizations or their authorized designees carry out their obligations to their customers. Shareholders investing in this manner should look to the organization through which they invest for specific instructions on how to purchase and redeem shares.

Additional Investments. You may add to your account by mail or wire at any time by purchasing shares at the then current NAV. Before making additional investments by bank wire, please call the Administrator at 1-866-738-1126 to alert the Administrator that your wire is to be sent. Follow the wire instructions above to send your wire. When calling for any reason, please have your account number ready, if known. Mail orders should include, when possible, the “Invest by Mail” stub that is attached to your Fund confirmation statement. Otherwise, be sure to identify your account in your letter.

Important Information About Purchasing Shares. Shares will be purchased at the Fund’s NAV next determined after your order is received by the Administrator in proper form. An order is considered to be in proper form if it is complete and contains all necessary information to process the order, is accompanied by payment in full of the purchase amount, and is delivered in an approved manner as set forth in this Prospectus. Direct orders received in proper form by the Administrator, whether by mail or bank wire, prior to the close of the regular session of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) on any business day, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, will purchase shares at the NAV next determined on that business day. If your order is not received by the close of the regular session of trading on the Exchange, your order will purchase shares at the NAV determined on the next business day. Purchase orders received in proper form by authorized broker-dealers and other financial institutions, or their authorized designees, prior to the close of the regular session of trading on the Exchange on any business day will purchase shares at the NAV determined on that day.

Important Information About Liability. You should be aware that the Fund’s Account Application contains provisions in favor of the Fund, the Advisor, the Administrator and certain of their affiliates, excluding such entities from certain liability in connection with the performance of any acts instructed by the shareholder or genuinely believed to be instructed by the shareholder; provided, however, that such entities will be excluded from liability only if such entities have exercised due care to determine that the instructions are genuine. If reasonable procedures are not followed by such entities, they will not be excluded from liability.

Automatic Investment Plan. The Automatic Investment Plan enables you to make automatic investments in shares of the Fund from your bank, savings and loan or other depository institution account. With your authorization and bank approval, the Administrator will automatically charge your account the amount specified ($100 minimum) which will be automatically invested in Fund shares at the then current NAV on or about the date(s) specified on your Account Application. Your depository institution may impose its own charge for making transfers from your account. You may change the amount of the investment or discontinue the plan at any time by writing to the Administrator.

Customer Identification and Verification. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person that opens a new account, and to determine whether such person’s name appears on government lists of known or suspected terrorists and terrorist organizations. As a result, the Fund must obtain the following information for each person that opens a new account:

You may also be asked for a copy of your driver’s license, passport, or other identifying document in order to verify your identity. In addition, it may be necessary to verify your identity by cross-referencing your identification information with a consumer report or other electronic database. Additional information may be required to open accounts for corporations and other entities. Federal law prohibits the Fund and other financial institutions from opening a new account unless they receive the minimum identifying information listed above.

After an account is opened, the Fund may restrict your ability to purchase additional shares until your identity is verified. The Fund also may close your account or take other appropriate action if it is unable to verify your identity within a reasonable time. If your account is closed for this reason, your shares will be redeemed at the NAV next calculated after the account is closed.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Fund Shares. The Fund has been designed as a long-term investment and not as a frequent or short-term trading (“market timing”) option. The Fund discourages and does not accommodate frequent purchases and redemptions. Accordingly, the Board of Trustees has adopted policies and procedures in an effort to detect and prevent market timing in the Fund. The Fund, through its service providers, monitors shareholder trading activity to ensure compliance with the Fund’s policies. The Fund prepares reports illustrating purchase and redemption activity to detect market timing activity. In addition, the Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase request that is believed to be market timing or otherwise potentially disruptive in nature. These actions, in the Board’s opinion, should help reduce the risk of abusive trading in the Fund. The Fund may also modify any terms or conditions of purchase of shares or withdraw all or any part of the offering made by this Prospectus. Each of the restrictions on frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares described above applies uniformly in all cases.

The Fund believes that market timing activity is not in the best interest of shareholders. Market timing can be disruptive to the portfolio management process and may adversely impact the ability of the Advisor to implement the Fund’s investment strategies. In addition to being disruptive, the risks to the Fund presented by market timing are higher expenses through increased trading and transaction costs; forced and unplanned portfolio turnover; large asset swings that decrease the Fund’s ability to maximize investment returns; and potentially diluting the value of the Fund’s shares. These risks can have an adverse effect on the Fund’s performance.

The Fund has entered into agreements with intermediaries obligating them to provide, upon request, information regarding their customers and their customers’ transaction in shares of the Fund when shares are held in omnibus accounts. The Fund relies on intermediaries to help enforce its market timing policies. For example, intermediaries assist the Fund in determining whether an investor is trading in violation of the Fund’s policies. The Fund reserves the right to reject an order placed from an omnibus account. Although the Fund has taken these steps to discourage frequent purchases and redemptions of shares, the Fund cannot guarantee that such trading will not occur.

How to Redeem Shares

You may redeem shares of the Fund on each day that the Exchange is open for business. You may redeem shares by mail or through your broker or financial institution by following the procedures described below:

By Mail. Your request should be mailed to The Jamestown Equity Fund, c/o Shareholder Services, P.O. Box 46707, Cincinnati, Ohio 45246-0707 and include the following information:

All redemption orders received in proper form, as indicated herein, by the Administrator prior to the close of the regular session of trading on the Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, will redeem shares at the NAV determined as of that business day’s close of trading. Otherwise, your order will redeem shares at the NAV determined on the next business day. An order is considered to be in proper form if it is complete and contains all necessary information to process the order (including the proper account information, the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed and the appropriate signatures), and is delivered in an approved manner as set forth in this Prospectus.

If you are uncertain of the requirements for redemption, please contact the Administrator at 1-866-738-1126, or write to the address shown above.

Through Your Broker or Financial Institution. You may also redeem your shares through a brokerage firm or financial institution that has been authorized to accept orders on behalf of the Fund. Redemption orders will be considered to have been received by the Fund when an authorized brokerage firm, financial institution, or its authorized designee, accepts the order. Your redemption will be processed at the NAV next determined after your order is received by such organization in proper form. NAV is normally determined at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. Your brokerage firm or financial institution may require a redemption request to be received at an earlier time during the day in order for your redemption to be effective as of the day the order is received. These organizations may be authorized to designate other intermediaries to act in this capacity. Such an organization may charge you transaction fees on redemptions of Fund shares and may impose other charges or restrictions or account options that differ from those applicable to shareholders who redeem shares directly through the Administrator.

Receiving Payment. Whether you request payment by check, wire, or through an Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transaction, your redemption proceeds will be sent to you within 3 business days after receipt of your redemption request in proper form. However, the Fund may delay forwarding a redemption payment for recently purchased shares while it determines whether the purchase payment will be honored. In such cases, the NAV next determined after receipt of your request for redemption will be used in processing your redemption and your redemption proceeds will be sent to you upon clearance of your payment to purchase shares. You may reduce or avoid such delay (which may take up to 15 days from the purchase date) if you purchase shares by certified check or wire transfer. The Fund typically expects to meet redemption requests from the sale of its money market instrument (cash) holdings or from the sale of other portfolio assets. These methods will typically be used during both regular and stressed market conditions.

You may choose to have redemption proceeds mailed to your address of record, your bank, or to any other authorized person. You may have the proceeds sent to your domestic bank by bank wire ($5,000 minimum) or ACH ($100 minimum) on days that your bank is open for business. Redemption proceeds will only be sent to the bank account or person named in your Account Application currently on file with the Fund. You may change your redemption instructions any time you wish by sending a letter to the Administrator with your new redemption instructions.

IRA Redemptions. If you do not want federal income taxes withheld from your IRA redemption, you must specify this in your redemption request. Otherwise, your redemption will be subject to federal withholding taxes.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Board of Trustees reserves the right to involuntarily redeem any account having an account value of less than $5,000, or less than $1,000 for tax-deferred retirement accounts (due to redemptions or transfers, but not due to market action) upon 60 days’ written notice. If you bring your account value up to the minimum requirements during the notice period, your account will not be redeemed.

Redemptions in Kind. The Fund reserves the right to make payment for a redemption in securities rather than cash, which is known as a “redemption in kind.” This would be done only when circumstances exist that would, in the opinion of the Advisor, make it in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to do so. In such case, the Advisor, under the supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the Trust’s procedures, may authorize payment to be made in portfolio securities or other property of the Fund. An irrevocable election has been filed under Rule 18f-1 of the 1940 Act, wherein the Fund commits to pay redemptions in cash, rather than in kind, to any shareholder of record who redeems during any ninety day period, the lesser of (a) $250,000 or (b) one percent (1%) of the Fund’s net assets at the beginning of such period unless the shareholder consents to receiving the entire distribution in kind. A redemption in kind will typically be made by delivering readily marketable securities to the redeeming shareholder within 3 business days after receipt of an in-kind redemption request in proper form. The securities that are redeemed in-kind will be equal to the market value of your shares being redeemed and will be priced using the same procedures that are used to compute the Fund’s NAV. It is the Advisor’s intention, at the present time, to reimburse shareholders for their brokerage costs and any other fees or losses incurred by them in selling such securities immediately upon receipt thereof. The Advisor may determine to discontinue this practice at any time without notice to shareholders.

Signature Guarantees. To protect your account and the Fund from fraud, a signature guarantee may be required to be sure that you are the person who has authorized a redemption. The Administrator will accept signatures guaranteed by a domestic bank or trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency, savings association or other financial institution that participates in the STAMP Medallion Program sponsored by the Securities Transfer Association. Signature guarantees from financial institutions that do not participate in the STAMP Medallion Program will not be accepted. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee. You will need your signature guaranteed (1) if you request that your redemption be made payable to a person not on record with the Fund; (2) if you request that your redemption be mailed to an address other than the address on record with the Fund; (3) if the proceeds of your redemption request exceed $50,000; (4) if you request that your redemption be wired to a bank other than the bank on record with the Fund; or (5) if the address on your account has changed within 15 days of your redemption request. The Fund and the Administrator reserve the right to amend these standards at any time without notice.

Systematic Withdrawal Plan. If your shares of the Fund are valued at $10,000 or more at the current NAV, you may establish a Systematic Withdrawal Plan to receive a check, on a stated specified date, in a stated amount of not less than $100. The Fund will automatically redeem sufficient shares from your account to meet the specified withdrawal amount. You may establish this service whether dividends and distributions are reinvested or paid in cash. Systematic withdrawals may be deposited directly to your bank account by completing the applicable section on the Account Application or by writing to the Administrator. 

How Net Asset Value is Determined 

The NAV of the Fund is determined on each business day that the Exchange is open for trading, as of the close of business of the regular session of the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). The Fund’s NAV is determined by dividing the total value of all Fund securities (valued at market value) and other assets, less liabilities, by the total number of shares then outstanding. NAV includes interest on fixed income securities, which is accrued daily. See the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) for further details.

Common stocks will ordinarily be traded on a national securities exchange, but may also be traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities traded on a national stock exchange, including common stocks and ETFs, are generally valued based upon the closing price on the principal exchange where the security is traded, if available, otherwise, at the last quoted bid price. Securities that are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities that are traded over-the-counter are valued at the last sale price, if available; otherwise, at the last quoted bid price.

When market quotations are not readily available, if a pricing service cannot provide a price, or if the Advisor believes the price received from the pricing service is not indicative of market value, securities will be valued in good faith at fair value using methods consistent with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Valuing portfolio securities at fair value involves reliance on judgment and a security’s fair value may differ depending on the method used for determining value. As a result, the values of some securities used to calculate the Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

To the extent any assets of the Fund are invested in other investment companies that are registered under the 1940 Act (other than ETFs, but including money market funds), the Fund’s NAV with respect to those assets is calculated based upon the NAVs, as reported by those companies. The prospectuses for these companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing.

Management of the Fund 

The Fund is a series of Williamsburg Investment Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Board of Trustees supervises the business activities of the Fund. Like other mutual funds, the Trust retains various organizations to perform specialized services for the Fund.

In addition to acting as investment advisor to the Fund, the Advisor also provides investment advice to corporations, trusts, pension and profit sharing plans, endowments, foundations, other business and institutional accounts and individuals. The address of the Advisor is 1802 Bayberry Court, Suite 400, Richmond, Virginia 23226.

Subject to the authority of the Board of Trustees, Lowe, Brockenbrough & Company provides a continuous program of supervision of the Fund’s assets, including the composition of its portfolio, and furnishes advice and recommendations with respect to investments, investment policies and the purchase and sale of securities, pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust. The Advisor is also responsible for the selection of broker-dealers through which the Fund executes portfolio transactions, subject to brokerage policies approved by the Trustees, and provides certain executive personnel to the Fund.

Compensation of the Advisor is at the annual rate of 0.65% on the first $500 million of the Fund’s average daily net assets; and 0.55% on average daily assets over $500 million. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Fund paid investment advisory fees equal to 0.65% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

The Advisor currently intends to voluntarily waive its investment advisory fees to the extent necessary to limit the total operating expenses of the Fund (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, shareholder servicing fees, taxes, interest and extraordinary expenses) to 0.95% per annum of its average daily net assets. However, there is no assurance that any voluntary fee waivers will continue in the current or future fiscal years, and the annual operating expenses of the Fund may therefore exceed 0.95% of its average daily net assets.

For a discussion of the factors considered by the Board of Trustees in its most recent approval of the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement, including the Board’s conclusions with respect thereto, see the Fund’s annual report for the year ended March 31, 2022.

Portfolio Managers. Charles M. Caravati, III, CFA and Richard H. Skeppstrom, II are primarily responsible for managing the portfolio of the Fund and have acted in this capacity since August 2000 and January 2017, respectively. Mr. Caravati is Chief Investment Officer and a Managing Director of the Advisor and has been with the firm since 1992. Mr. Skeppstrom is a Managing Director and Portfolio Manager of the Advisor and has been with the firm since December 2015.

The SAI provides additional information about the portfolio managers’ compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers’ ownership of shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Servicing Plan. Effective August 1, 2022, the Fund has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (the “Plan”), which allows the Fund to make payments to financial organizations (including payments directly to the Advisor and the distributor (Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC) for providing account administration and account maintenance services to Fund shareholders. The annual service fee may not exceed an amount equal to 0.25% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying sales charges. The Advisor, at its own expense and out of its legitimate profits, may make additional payments to financial organizations from its own revenues based on the amount of customer assets maintained in the Fund by such organizations. The payment by the Advisor of any such additional compensation will not affect the expense ratio of the Fund.

Dividends, Distributions and Taxes 

The Fund has qualified and intends to remain qualified as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income tax on that part of its net investment income and net realized capital gains that it distributes to its shareholders. Shareholders are liable for taxes on distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains of the Fund but, of course, shareholders who are not subject to tax on their income will not be required to pay taxes on amounts distributed to them. The Fund intends to withhold federal income taxes on taxable distributions made to shareholders who are subject to such withholding.

There is no fixed dividend rate, and there can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any gains for the Fund. The Fund intends to declare dividends from net investment income quarterly, payable during the last week of each calendar quarter on a date selected by management. In addition, distributions out of any net short-term capital gains may be made throughout the year and distributions of any long-term capital gains derived from the sale of securities may be made at least once each year. The nature and amount of all dividends and distributions will be identified separately when tax information is distributed by the Fund at the end of each year.

Distributions attributable to ordinary income and short-term capital gains are generally taxed as ordinary income, although certain income dividends may be taxed to non-corporate shareholders at long-term capital gains rates. In the case of corporations that hold shares of the Fund, certain income may qualify for a 70% dividends-received deduction. Distributions of long-term capital gains are generally taxed as long-term capital gains, regardless of how long you have held your Fund shares.

Dividends and capital gains distributions may be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund or paid in cash, as indicated on your Account Application. If no option is selected on your Application, distributions will automatically be reinvested in additional shares. Tax consequences to shareholders of dividends and distributions are the same if received in cash or if received in additional shares of the Fund. In addition to federal taxes, you may be subject to state and local taxes on distributions. Redemptions of shares of the Fund is a taxable event on which you may realize a gain or loss.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 requires that mutual fund companies report cost basis information to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on Form 1099-B for any sale of mutual fund shares acquired after January 1, 2012 (“Covered Shares”). Under these regulations, mutual funds must select a default cost basis calculation method and apply that method to the sale of Covered Shares unless an alternate IRS approved method is specifically elected in writing by the shareholder. Average Cost, which is the mutual fund industry standard, has been selected as the Fund’s default cost basis calculation method. If a shareholder determines that an IRS approved cost basis calculation method other than the Fund’s default method of Average Cost is more appropriate, the shareholder must contact the Fund at the time of or in advance of the sale of Covered Shares that are to be subject to that alternate election. IRS regulations do not permit the change of a cost basis election on previously executed trades.

All Covered Shares purchased in non-retirement accounts are subject to the cost basis reporting regulations. Non-covered shares are mutual fund shares that were acquired prior to the effective date of January 1, 2012. Cost basis information will not be reported to the IRS or shareholder upon the sale of any non-covered mutual fund shares. Non-covered shares will be redeemed first unless otherwise specified.

This discussion of the federal and state income tax consequences of an investment in the Fund is not exhaustive on the subject. Consequently, investors should seek qualified tax advice.
