U.S. TREASURY FUND

SUMMARY

Investment Objective

To seek current income with liquidity and stability of principal.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the U.S. Treasury Fund. An investor transacting in Institutional Shares, which do not have any front-end sales charge, contingent deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution, may be required to pay a commission to a broker or other financial intermediary for effecting such transactions on an agency basis. Such commissions are not reflected in the tables or the example below. Shares of the Fund are available in other share classes that have different fees and expenses.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment): None.

†  Affiliates of the Adviser have contractually agreed to waive all Shareholder Servicing Fees to which they are entitled paid by Select Shares and 0.17% paid by Institutional Shares. The affiliate waivers result in a reduction of the Shareholder Servicing Fee paid by all purchasers of a Class to the extent shown in the table. Contractual waivers are in place for the period through December 31, 2024 and may only be terminated or modified with the approval of the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its objective, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 99.5% of its total assets in cash, U.S. Government Securities, or repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Government Securities and other U.S. Treasury investment companies. The Fund also invests at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. Treasury Obligations or repurchase agreements collateralized by U.S. Treasury Obligations. These policies will not be changed without at least 60 days prior notice to shareholders. As a money market fund, the dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of the Fund will not exceed 60 days and the dollar-weighted average portfolio life cannot exceed 120 days.

Principal Investment Risks

You could lose money by investing in the Fund. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it cannot guarantee it will do so. An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Fund’s sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the Funds, beyond what is disclosed in the footnote under the “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide additional financial support to the Fund at any time. In addition, the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, yield or total return are:

 Interest Rate Risk — The value of the Fund’s interest-bearing investments may decline due to an increase in interest rates. In general, the longer a security’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. For a portfolio with a duration of 3 years, each 1% rise in interest rates would reduce the value of the portfolio by an estimated 3%. The Fund’s yield may decrease due to a decline in interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Recent and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause the Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a negative yield and a decline in the Fund’s share price. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates.

1-800-762-7085

 

 Market Risk — The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the markets in which the Fund invests fluctuate. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events, such as inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, recessions, supply chain disruptions, political instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

 Liquidity Risk — Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that would normally prevail in the market. The portfolio manager may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. This includes the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous investments. If a Fund is required to sell securities quickly or at a particular time (including sales to meet redemption requests) the Fund could realize a loss.

 Investment in Other Investment Companies Risk — Investments in other investment companies are subject to market and selection risk. In addition, if the Fund acquires shares of investments companies, shareholders bear both their proportionate share of expenses in the Fund (including management fees and other expenses) and, indirectly, the expenses of the investment companies.

 Redemption Risk — The risk that heavy redemptions could cause the Fund to liquidate its assets at inopportune times or at a loss or depressed value, particularly during periods of declining or illiquid markets, and that could affect the fund’s ability to maintain a $1.00 share price. Redemption risk is greater to the extent that the fund has investors with large shareholdings, short investment horizons or unpredictable cash flow needs. The redemption by one or more large shareholders of their holdings in the fund could cause the remaining shareholders in the fund to lose money.

 Floating Rate Notes Risk — Securities with floating or variable interest rates can be less sensitive to interest rate changes than securities with fixed interest rates, but may decline in value if their coupon rates do not reset as high, or as quickly, as comparable market interest rates, and generally carry lower yields than fixed notes of the same maturity.

 Management Risk — There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired results.

 Regulatory Risk — The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially affect a security, business, sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body can increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of investment and/or change the competitive landscape. Regulatory risk also includes the risk associated with federal and state laws which may restrict the remedies that a lender has when a borrower defaults on loans. These laws include restrictions on foreclosures, redemption rights after foreclosure, federal and state bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, restrictions on “due on sale” clauses, and state usury laws.

To the extent that the Fund makes investments with additional risks, those risks could increase volatility or reduce performance. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and may increase the amount of taxes that you pay.

For more information about these risks, please refer to the section titled “Investment Practices and Risks” in the Fund’s prospectus.

Performance Information

The bar chart and the performance table below illustrate some of the risks and return volatility of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years. The Fund’s past performance does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information may be obtained on the Fund’s website www.cavanalhillfunds.com or by calling 1-800-762-7085.

This bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year1. The returns for Institutional and Select Shares will differ from the returns for Administrative Shares (which are shown in the bar chart) because of differences in the expenses of each Class.

Annual Total Returns for Administrative Shares and predecessor (Periods Ended 12/31)

This table shows the Fund’s average annual total returns for periods ended December 31, 2022. The Select Shares commenced operations on December 26, 2017. The performance shown for periods prior to commencement of operations of the Select Shares is that of the Institutional Shares. The shares would have substantially similar performance because shares are invested in the same portfolio of securities. The performance shown is lower than actual returns would have been because the predecessor class had a higher expense ratio.

Tax Information

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund or its service providers 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. In addition, if you purchase shares that do not have any front-end sales charge, contingent deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution from a broker or other financial intermediary on an acting agency basis, you may be required to pay a commission in an amount charged and separately disclosed to you by such party.

Portfolio Turnover

The Limited Duration Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its objective, under normal circumstances, the Fund invests primarily in debt obligations such as bonds, notes and debentures, and bills issued by U.S. corporations or by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage obligations and fixed income ETFs. Such debt obligations are “investment grade,” rated within the four highest ratings categories assigned by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or, if not rated, found by the Adviser under guidelines approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees to be of comparable quality. The Fund also invests in money market instruments.

If the rating of a security is downgraded after purchase, the portfolio management team will determine whether it is in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders to continue to hold the security. In making that determination, the factors considered at the time of purchase are reviewed. The Fund does not apply an automatic sale trigger.

In managing the portfolio, the portfolio management team searches for inefficiencies not only at the macro, or top down level, but also at the individual security level. Purchase and sale decisions are based on the Adviser’s judgment about issuers, risk, prices of securities, market conditions, potential returns, and other economic factors.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds and maintains an average portfolio duration of less than three and one-half years. These policies will not be changed without at least 60 days prior notice to shareholders. In addition, the Fund normally invests at least 65% of its net assets in interest-bearing bonds.

Duration provides a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest-rates. In general, the longer a fund’s duration, the more its price will fluctuate when interest rates change. A fund with a duration of 10 years is twice as sensitive to interest rate changes as a fund with a five-year duration. A fund with a five-year duration would generally be expected to lose 5% from its net asset value if interest rates rose by one percentage point or gain 5% if interest rates fell by one percentage point.

Principal Investment Risks

Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, yield or total return are:

 Interest Rate Risk — The value of the Fund’s interest-bearing investments may decline due to an increase in interest rates. In general, the longer a security’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. For a portfolio with a duration of 3 years, each 1% rise in interest rates would reduce the value of the portfolio by an estimated 3%. The Fund’s yield may decrease due to a decline in interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Recent and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause the Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a negative yield and a decline in the Fund’s share price. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates.

 Credit Risk — Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer of a debt instrument or a counterparty to an agreement fails to fulfill its obligations, reducing the Fund’s return. This includes failure by a bond issuer to repay interest and principal.

 Liquidity Risk — Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that would normally prevail in the market. The portfolio manager may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. This includes the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous investments. If a Fund is required to sell securities quickly or at a particular time (including sales to meet redemption requests) the Fund could realize a loss.

 Prepayment/Call Risk — There is a chance that the repayment of an asset-backed or mortgage-backed obligation will occur sooner than expected. Call risk is the possibility that, during periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer will “call” — or repay — its bond before the bond’s maturity date.

 Market Risk — The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the markets in which the Fund invests fluctuate. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events, such as inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, recessions, supply chain disruptions, political instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

 Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — The value of the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise. If the underlying mortgages are paid off sooner than expected, the Fund may have to reinvest this money in mortgage-backed or other securities that have lower yields.

 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations Risk — There are risks associated with collateralized mortgage obligations that relate to the risks of the underlying mortgage pass-through securities (i.e., an increase or decrease in prepayment rates, resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates, will affect the yield, average life, and price of collateralized mortgage obligations).

1-800-762-7085

 

 Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing asset-backed securities. The value of the Fund’s asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.

 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Risk — The ETFs in which the Fund invests are subject to the risks applicable to the types of securities and investments used by the ETFs. Because an ETF charges its own fees and expenses, fund shareholders will indirectly bear these costs. The use of leverage in an ETF can magnify any price movements, resulting in high volatility. Due to daily rebalancing, leverage, and liquidity, inverse ETFs may perform worse than the inverse movement of the underlying referenced financial asset, index or commodity’s return.

 Valuation Risk — The risk associated with the assessment of appropriate pricing in a changing market where trading information may not be readily available.

 Portfolio Turnover Risk — A Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to achieve its principal investment objectives. This may result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains as compared to a fund with less active trading policies, which would increase an investor’s tax liability unless shares are held through a tax deferred or exempt vehicle. Frequent trading also increases transaction costs, which could detract from a Fund’s performance.

 Management Risk — There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired results.

 Regulatory Risk — The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially affect a security, business, sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body can increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of investment and/or change the competitive landscape. Regulatory risk also includes the risk associated with federal and state laws which may restrict the remedies that a lender has when a borrower defaults on loans. These laws include restrictions on foreclosures, redemption rights after foreclosure, federal and state bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, restrictions on “due on sale” clauses, and state usury laws.

To the extent that the Fund makes investments with additional risks, those risks could increase volatility or reduce performance. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and may increase the amount of taxes that you pay.

For more information about these risks, please refer to the section titled “Investment Practices and Risks” in the Fund’s prospectus. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The bar chart and the performance table below illustrate some of the risks and return volatility of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past performance (before or after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Prior to December 30, 2016, the Fund was named the Short-Term Income Fund. Updated performance information may be obtained on the Fund’s website www.cavanalhillfunds.com or by calling 1-800-762-7085.

This bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year1. The returns for A Shares and Institutional Shares will differ from the returns for Investor Shares (which are shown in the bar chart) because of differences in the expenses of each class.

Portfolio Turnover

The Moderate Duration Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 61% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its objective, the Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in debt obligations such as bonds, notes and debentures, and bills issued by U.S. corporations or the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and fixed income ETFs. Such debt obligations are “investment grade,” rated within the four highest ratings categories assigned by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization or, if not rated, found by the Adviser under guidelines approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees to be of comparable quality. The Fund also invests in money market instruments.

Total return is defined as a percentage change, over a specified time period, in a mutual fund’s net asset value, with the ending net asset value adjusted to account for the reinvestment of all distributions of dividends and capital gains.

If the rating of a security is downgraded after purchase, the portfolio management team will determine whether it is in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders to continue to hold the security. In making that determination, the factors considered at the time of purchase are reviewed. The Fund does not apply an automatic sale trigger.

In managing the portfolio, the portfolio management team searches for inefficiencies not only at the macro, or top down level, but also at the individual security level. Purchase and sale decisions are based on the Adviser’s judgment about issuers, risk, prices of securities, market conditions, potential returns, and other economic factors.

Under normal circumstances the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds and maintains an average portfolio duration between three and five years. This policy will not be changed without at least 60 days prior notice to shareholders.

Duration provides a measure of a fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest-rates. In general, the longer a fund’s duration, the more its price will fluctuate when interest rates change. A fund with a duration of 10 years is twice as sensitive to interest rate changes as a fund with a five-year duration. A fund with a five-year duration would generally be expected to lose 5% from its net asset value if interest rates rose by one percentage point or gain 5% if interest rates fell by one percentage point.

Principal Investment Risks

Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, yield or total return are:

 Interest Rate Risk — The value of the Fund’s interest-bearing investments may decline due to an increase in interest rates. In general, the longer a security’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. For a portfolio with a duration of 3 years, each 1% rise in interest rates would reduce the value of the portfolio by an estimated 3%. The Fund’s yield may decrease due to a decline in interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Recent and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause the Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a negative yield and a decline in the Fund’s share price. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates.

 Credit Risk — Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer of a debt instrument or a counterparty to an agreement fails to fulfill its obligations, reducing the Fund’s return. This includes failure by a bond issuer to repay interest and principal.

 Liquidity Risk — Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that would normally prevail in the market. The portfolio manager may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. This includes the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous investments. If a Fund is required to sell securities quickly or at a particular time (including sales to meet redemption requests) the Fund could realize a loss.

 Prepayment/Call Risk — There is a chance that the repayment of an asset-backed or mortgage-backed obligation will occur sooner than expected. Call risk is the possibility that, during periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer will “call”— or repay — its bond before the bond’s maturity date.

 Market Risk — The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the markets in which the Fund invests fluctuate. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events, such as inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, recessions, supply chain disruptions, political instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

 Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — The value of the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise. If the underlying mortgages are paid off sooner than expected, the Fund may have to reinvest this money in mortgage-backed or other securities that have lower yields.

www.cavanalhillfunds.com

1-800-762-7085

 

 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations Risk — There are risks associated with collateralized mortgage obligations that relate to the risks of the underlying mortgage pass-through securities (i.e., an increase or decrease in prepayment rates, resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates, will affect the yield, average life, and price of collateralized mortgage obligations).

 Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing asset-backed securities. The value of the Fund’s asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.

 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Risk — The ETFs in which the Fund invests are subject to the risks applicable to the types of securities and investments used by the ETFs. Because an ETF charges its own fees and expenses, fund shareholders will indirectly bear these costs. The use of leverage in an ETF can magnify any price movements, resulting in high volatility. Due to daily rebalancing, leverage, and liquidity, inverse ETFs may perform worse than the inverse movement of the underlying referenced financial asset, index or commodity’s return.

 Valuation Risk — The risk associated with the assessment of appropriate pricing in a changing market where trading information may not be readily available.

 Management Risk — There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired results.

 Regulatory Risk — The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially affect a security, business, sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body can increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of investment and/or change the competitive landscape. Regulatory risk also includes the risk associated with federal and state laws which may restrict the remedies that a lender has when a borrower defaults on loans. These laws include restrictions on foreclosures, redemption rights after foreclosure, federal and state bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, restrictions on “due on sale” clauses, and state usury laws.

To the extent that the Fund makes investments with additional risks, those risks could increase volatility or reduce performance. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and may increase the amount of taxes that you pay.

For more information about these risks, please refer to the section titled “Investment Practices and Risks” in the Fund’s prospectus. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or a combination of the two, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an individual retirement account. Retirement accounts may be taxed at a later date.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund or its service providers 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. In addition, if you purchase shares that do not have any front-end sales charge, contingent deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution from a broker or other financial intermediary on an acting agency basis, you may be required to pay a commission in an amount charged and separately disclosed to you by such party.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Bond Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest or agree to invest in the future, at least $200,000 in Cavanal Hill Funds. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in the section “Initial Sales Charge (Bond and Equity Funds, A Shares Only)” on page 46 of the prospectus and “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges (CDSC-Class A and C Only)” on page 47 in the prospectus and in the section “Additional Purchase and Redemption Information” on page 35 of the Statement of Additional Information. An investor transacting in Institutional Shares, which do not have any front-end sales charge, contingent deferred sales charge, or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution, may be required to pay a commission to a broker or other financial intermediary for effecting such transactions on an agency basis. Such commissions are not reflected in the tables or the example below. Shares of the Fund are available in other share classes that have different fees and expenses.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return and each year that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Bond Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 59% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

To pursue its objective, the Fund invests, under normal market conditions, primarily in debt obligations such as bonds, notes and debentures, and bills issued by U.S. corporations or by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities, municipal securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and fixed income ETFs. Such debt obligations are “investment grade,” rated within the four highest ratings categories assigned by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization, or, if not rated, found by the Adviser under guidelines approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees to be of comparable quality. The Fund also invests in money market instruments.

Total return is defined as a percentage change, over a specified time period, in a mutual fund’s net asset value, with the ending net asset value adjusted to account for the reinvestment of all distributions of dividends and capital gains.

If the rating of a security is downgraded after purchase, the portfolio management team will determine whether it is in the best interest of the Fund’s shareholders to continue to hold the security. In making that determination, the factors considered at the time of purchase are reviewed. The Fund does not apply an automatic sale trigger.

The Fund will generally maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of three to ten years.

In managing the portfolio, the portfolio management team searches for inefficiencies not only at the macro, or top down level, but also at the individual security level. Purchase and sale decisions are based on the Adviser’s judgment about issuers, risk, prices of securities, market conditions, potential returns, and other economic factors.

Under normal circumstances the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in bonds. This policy will not be changed without at least 60 days prior notice to shareholders.

Principal Investment Risks

Loss of money is a risk of investing in the Fund. In addition, the principal risks of investing in the Fund, which could adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value, yield or total return are:

 Interest Rate Risk — The value of the Fund’s interest-bearing investments may decline due to an increase in interest rates. In general, the longer a security’s maturity, the greater the interest rate risk. For a portfolio with a duration of 3 years, each 1% rise in interest rates would reduce the value of the portfolio by an estimated 3%. The Fund’s yield may decrease due to a decline in interest rates. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk. Recent and any future declines in interest rate levels could cause the Fund’s earnings to fall below the Fund’s expense ratio, resulting in a negative yield and a decline in the Fund’s share price. Changing interest rates, including rates that fall below zero, may have unpredictable effects on markets, may result in heightened market volatility and may detract from Fund performance to the extent the Fund is exposed to such interest rates.

 Credit Risk — Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer of a debt instrument or a counterparty to an agreement fails to fulfill its obligations, reducing the Fund’s return. This includes failure by a bond issuer to repay interest and principal.

 Liquidity Risk — Certain securities may be difficult or impossible to sell at the time and the price that would normally prevail in the market. The portfolio manager may have to lower the price, sell other securities instead or forego an investment opportunity, any of which could have a negative effect on Fund management or performance. This includes the risk of missing out on an investment opportunity because the assets necessary to take advantage of it are tied up in less advantageous investments. If a Fund is required to sell securities quickly or at a particular time (including sales to meet redemption requests) the Fund could realize a loss.

 Prepayment/Call Risk — There is a chance that the repayment of an asset-backed or mortgage-backed obligation will occur sooner than expected. Call risk is the possibility that, during periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer will “call”— or repay — its bond before the bond’s maturity date.

 Market Risk — The value of the Fund’s assets will fluctuate as the markets in which the Fund invests fluctuate. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, simply because of economic changes or other events, such as inflation (or expectations for inflation), deflation (or expectations for deflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, market instability, debt crises and downgrades, embargoes, tariffs, sanctions and other trade barriers, regulatory events, other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, recessions, supply chain disruptions, political instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics.

 Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk — The value of the Fund’s mortgage-backed securities can fall if the owners of the underlying mortgages pay off their mortgages sooner than expected, which could happen when interest rates fall, or later than expected, which could happen when interest rates rise. If the underlying mortgages are paid off sooner than expected, the Fund may have to reinvest this money in mortgage-backed or other securities that have lower yields.

 Collateralized Mortgage Obligations Risk — There are risks associated with collateralized mortgage obligations that relate to the risks of the underlying mortgage pass-through securities (i.e., an increase or decrease in prepayment rates, resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates, will affect the yield, average life, and price of collateralized mortgage obligations).

 Asset-Backed Securities Risk — Payment of interest and repayment of principal may be impacted by the cash flows generated by the assets backing asset-backed securities. The value of the Fund’s asset-backed securities may also be affected by changes in interest rates, the availability of information concerning the interests in and structure of the pools of purchase contracts, financing leases or sales agreements that are represented by these securities, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements.

 Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) Risk — The ETFs in which the Fund invests are subject to the risks applicable to the types of securities and investments used by the ETFs. Because an ETF charges its own fees and expenses, fund shareholders will indirectly bear these costs. The use of leverage in an ETF can magnify any price movements, resulting in high volatility. Due to daily rebalancing, leverage, and liquidity, inverse ETFs may perform worse than the inverse movement of the underlying referenced financial asset, index or commodity’s return.

 Valuation Risk — The risk associated with the assessment of appropriate pricing in a changing market where trading information may not be readily available.

 Management Risk — There is no guarantee that the investment techniques and risk analyses used by the Fund’s portfolio managers will produce the desired results.

 Regulatory Risk — The risk that a change in laws or regulations will materially affect a security, business, sector or market. A change in laws or regulations made by the government or a regulatory body can increase the costs of operating a business, reduce the attractiveness of investment and/or change the competitive landscape. Regulatory risk also includes the risk associated with federal and state laws which may restrict the remedies that a lender has when a borrower defaults on loans. These laws include restrictions on foreclosures, redemption rights after foreclosure, federal and state bankruptcy and debtor relief laws, restrictions on “due on sale” clauses, and state usury laws.

To the extent that the Fund makes investments with additional risks, those risks could increase volatility or reduce performance. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and may increase the amount of taxes that you pay.

For more information about these risks, please refer to the section titled “Investment Practices and Risks” in the Fund’s prospectus. An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Performance Information

The bar chart and the performance table below illustrate some of the risks and return volatility of an investment in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fund’s past performance (before or after taxes) does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information may be obtained on the Fund’s website www.cavanalhillfunds.com or by calling 1-800-762-7085.

This bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year1. The returns for A Shares and Institutional Shares will differ from the returns for Investor Shares (which are shown in the bar chart) because of differences in the expenses of each Class.
