1Huber
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has voluntarily agreed to reduce the
Fund’s management fee, from 0.99% to 0.75%, through at least February 28, 2025.
The Adviser cannot recoup these amounts.
2Each
class of the Select Large Cap Value Fund may accrue up to 0.25% in “Distribution
and Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees” of the average daily net assets and may accrue up
to 0.15% in “Shareholder Servicing Plan Fee” of the average daily net assets.
However, accrual for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares is currently set at
0.00% through at least February 28, 2025, and any accrual increase must
first be approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses above reflect the maximum Rule 12b-1 fee and/or
Shareholder Servicing Plan fee for the Investor Class shares allowed while the
Expense Ratios in the Financial Highlights reflect actual expenses.
3The
Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management
fees and pay expenses of the Select Large Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total
Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses
(“AFFE”), interest expense, taxes, extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees,
shareholder servicing fees and any other class-specific expenses) do not exceed
0.99% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Cap”). The
Expense Cap will remain in effect through at least February 28,
2025, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board. The
Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses
pursuant to the contract from the Fund for 36 months from the date they were
waived or paid, subject to the Expense Cap at the time such amounts were waived
or at the time of recoupment, whichever is lower.
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Select Large Cap Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual
funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time
periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those
periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year
and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the
Expense Cap only in the first year). Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover. The
Select Large Cap Value 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 30.78% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The Select Large Cap Value Fund invests primarily in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks, normally investing at least 80% of its
net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in large capitalization
U.S. companies (“large cap companies”) whose stocks are considered by the
Adviser to be undervalued. The Adviser currently considers large cap companies
to be those with market capitalizations in the range of those found in the
Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index, although the portfolio will generally consist of
stocks with a market capitalization of $1 billion or above at time of initial
purchase. The market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index
changes constantly, but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization range
was between $362.3 million and $832.6 billion. Market capitalization is measured
at the time of initial purchase. The Fund also normally invests in stocks with
high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. Payout yield refers
to dividend yield (the yield from dividends paid) plus buyback yield (the yield
associated with a company buying back its own shares to reduce the number of
shares on the market, thereby increasing the earnings per share for the
remaining shares). While the Select Large Cap Value Fund is diversified, the
Fund may hold a higher concentration on certain
issuers.
The Select Large Cap Value Fund may make significant investments in
securities of non-U.S. issuers (“foreign securities”), including issuers in
emerging markets. The Fund will invest primarily in domestic U.S. securities but
reserves the right to invest up to 20% of its net assets in American Depositary
Receipts (“ADRs”), dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly in foreign
securities. Should appropriate investment opportunities be available, the Fund
may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) but not in an amount that
exceeds 50% of the Fund’s total assets. Additionally, the Fund may invest in
Rule 144A and other restricted equity securities but not in an amount that
exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total assets. From time to time, the Fund may be
invested in securities of companies in the same economic
sector.
The
Adviser employs a value investing style, investing in stocks which, in the
Adviser’s opinion, trade at a significant discount to the present value of
future cash flows. The Adviser attempts to identify out-of-favor stocks that
represent solid fundamental value. The Adviser identifies these investment
opportunities by employing a disciplined, bottom-up investment process that
emphasizes internally generated fundamental research. The process includes an
initial review, in-depth analysis, and employment of the Adviser’s proprietary
valuation methodology. The Fund strives for tax efficiency which may include tax
loss harvesting (i.e., periodically selling positions that have depreciated in value to
realize capital losses that can be used to offset capital gains realized by the
Fund) and other tools at the Adviser’s disposal.
Principal
Risks
Losing all or a
portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Select Large Cap Value
Fund. The following additional risks could affect the value of
your investment:
•General
Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are
becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events
or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers
in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may
underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a
particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors,
including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global
demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events;
pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S.
and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in
recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro
factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply
chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and
overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and
widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest
rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S.
and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life
and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in
Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects
on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global
economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European
Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including
certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to
and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may
continue to do so.
•Equity
Securities Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic or
political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors
affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Select
Large Cap Value Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as
changes in economic or political conditions.
•Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to
additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility,
civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or
other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction
costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment,
expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection
and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in
certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments
tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively
stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in
countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have
less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater
social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging
markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due
to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in
determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on
issuers.
•ADR
Risk.
Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are
associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADRs may
not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may
change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for
trading.
•Large-Sized
Company Risk.
Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new
competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller
competitors. In
addition, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high
growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended
periods of economic expansion.
•Initial
Public Offering Risk. The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate
considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market,
unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited
information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high
transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk.
When the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s asset base is small, a significant
portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs,
because such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the
Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s
performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s
performance.
•Management
Risk. The Select Large Cap Value Fund is an actively managed investment
portfolio and the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s
goal. The Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in
making investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its
decisions will produce the desired results.
•Value
Style Investing Risk. The Select Large Cap Value Fund emphasizes a “value” style of
investing, which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved
valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations
never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem
with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in
general.
•Sector
Emphasis Risk. Securities
of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a significant
portion of the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s portfolio, could react in some
circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic,
regulatory or financial developments and adversely affect the value of the
portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion
of the Fund’s portfolio.
•Rule
144A Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than the
market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk that
the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more difficult
for the Select Large Cap Value Fund to sell these securities.
•Focus
Risk.
At such times the Select Large Cap Value Fund holds the securities of a small
number of issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and
developments affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than
a fund that invests more widely. This may increase the Select Large Cap Value
Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of
issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s
performance.

Who
May Want to Invest in the Fund? |
The
Select Large Cap Value Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
•Have
a long-term investment horizon;
•Want
to add an investment with potential for capital appreciation to diversify their
investment portfolio; and
•Can
accept the greater risks of investing in a portfolio with common stock
holdings.
Performance
The following
performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Select
Large Cap Value Fund. The bar chart shows the annual returns for
the Fund’s Investor Class shares from year to year. The table shows how the
Fund’s average annual returns for the 1-year, 5-years, 10-years and since
inception periods compare with those of broad measures of market performance.
The Fund’s
past
performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how
it will perform in the future. The Fund’s past performance
benefited from IPOs of certain issuers. To the extent the Fund’s historical
performance resulted from gains derived from participation in IPOs and secondary
offerings, there is no guarantee that these results can be replicated or that
the Fund will be able to participate to the same degree in IPO and secondary
offerings in the future. Updated performance information is available on the
Fund’s website at www.hubercap.com
or by calling the Fund toll-free at 888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726).

1Huber
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has voluntarily agreed to reduce the
Fund’s management fee, from 1.35% to 0.99%, through at least February 28, 2025.
The Adviser cannot recoup these amounts.
2Each
class of the Small Cap Value Fund may accrue up to 0.25% in “Distribution and
Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees” of the average daily net assets and may accrue up to
0.15% in “Shareholder Servicing Plan Fee” of the average daily net assets.
However, accrual for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares is currently set at
0.00% through at least February 28, 2025, and any accrual increase must
first be approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses above reflect the maximum Rule 12b-1 fee and/or
Shareholder Servicing Plan fee for the Investor Class shares allowed while the
Expense Ratios in the Financial Highlights reflect actual expenses.
3The
Adviser has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management
fees and pay expenses of the Small Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total Annual
Fund Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary
expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other
class-specific expenses) do not exceed 1.28% of the average daily net assets of
the Fund (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect through at
least February 28,
2025, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board. The
Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses
pursuant to the contract from the Fund for 36 months from the date they were
waived or paid, subject to the Expense Cap at the time such amounts were waived

Portfolio
Turnover. The
Small Cap Value 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 43.63% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The
Small Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of small capitalization
U.S. companies (“small cap companies”) whose stocks are considered by the
Adviser to be undervalued. The Adviser currently considers small cap companies
to be those with market capitalizations of $3.0 billion or less and/or those
with market capitalizations in the range of those found in the Bloomberg US 2000
Value Index. The market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 2000 Value
Index changes constantly, but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization
range was between $16.8 million and $8.4 billion. Market capitalization is
measured at the time of initial purchase. While the Small Cap Value Fund is
diversified, the Fund may hold a higher concentration in certain
issuers.
The
Small Cap Value Fund may also make significant investments in securities of
non-U.S. issuers (“foreign securities”), including issuers in emerging markets.
The Fund will invest primarily in domestic U.S. securities but reserves the
right to invest up to 20% of its net assets in American Depositary Receipts
(“ADRs”), dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly in foreign
securities. Should appropriate investment opportunities be available, the Fund
may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) but not in an amount that
exceeds 50% of the Fund’s total assets. Additionally, the Fund may invest in
Rule 144A and other restricted equity securities but not in an amount that
exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total assets. From time to time, the Fund may be
invested in securities of companies in the same economic sector.
As
of October 31, 2023, 28.5% of the Fund’s total investments were invested in
the financial sector.
The
Adviser employs a value investing style, investing in stocks which, in the
Adviser’s opinion, trade at a significant discount to the present value of

Principal
Risks
Losing all or a

Fund. The following additional risks could affect the value of
your investment:
•General
Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are
becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events
or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers

underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a

pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S.
and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in
recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro
factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply
chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and
overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and
widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest
rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S.
and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life
and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in
Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects
on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global
economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European
Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including
certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to
and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may
continue to do so.
•Equity
Securities Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic
or political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors
affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Small Cap
Value Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in
economic or political conditions.
•Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to
additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility,
civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or
other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction
costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment,
expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection
and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in
certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments
tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively
stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in
countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have
less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater
social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging
markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due
to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in
determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on
issuers.
•ADR
Risk.
Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are
associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADRs may
not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may
change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for
trading.
•Initial
Public Offering Risk. The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate
considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market,
unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and limited
information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high
transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk.
When the Small Cap Value Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of
the Fund’s performance could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because
such investments would have a magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets
grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance
probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s
performance.
•Management
Risk. The Small Cap Value Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio
and the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s goal. The
Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making
investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its
decisions will produce the desired results.
•Value
Style Investing Risk. The Small Cap Value Fund emphasizes a “value” style of investing,
which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved
valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations
never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem
with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in
general.
•Sector
Emphasis Risk. The
securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a
significant portion of the Small Cap Value Fund’s portfolio, could react in some
circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic,
regulatory or fiscal developments and adversely affect the value of the
portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion
of the Fund’s portfolio.
•Financial
Sector Risk:
Performance of companies in the
financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among
others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit rating downgrades,
changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The impact
of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future regulation of any
individual financial company or of the financials sector as a whole cannot be
predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology malfunctions and
failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and have caused
significant losses to companies in this sector, which may negatively impact the
Fund.
•Small
Companies Risk.
Investing
in securities of small-sized companies may involve greater volatility than
investing in larger and more established companies because companies with small
market capitalizations can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share price
changes than larger, more established companies.
•Rule
144A Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than
the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk
that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more
difficult for the Small Cap Value Fund to sell these
securities.
•Focus
Risk.
At such times the Small Cap Value Fund holds the securities of a small number of
issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments
affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that
invests more widely. This may increase the Small Cap Value Fund’s volatility and
cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a
greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

Who
May Want to Invest in the Fund? |
The
Small Cap Value Fund may be appropriate for investors who:
•Have
a long-term investment horizon;
•Want
to add an investment with potential for capital appreciation to diversify their
investment portfolio; and
•Can
accept the greater risks of investing in a portfolio with common stock
holdings.
Performance
The following
performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Small
Cap Value Fund. The bar chart shows the annual returns for the
Fund’s Investor Class shares from year to year. The table shows how the Fund’s
average annual returns for the 1-year, 5-years, 10-years and since inception
periods compare with those of broad measures of market performance.
The Fund’s past performance,
before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how it will perform in the
future. The Fund’s past performance benefited from IPOs of
certain issuers. To the extent the Fund’s historical performance resulted from
gains derived from participation in IPOs and secondary offerings, there is no
guarantee that these results can be replicated or that the Fund will be able to
participate to the same degree in IPO and secondary offerings in the future.

1 Huber
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has voluntarily agreed to reduce the
Fund’s management fee, from 0.75% to 0.00%, through at least February 28, 2025.
The Adviser cannot recoup these amounts.
2 Each
class of the Large Cap Value Fund may accrue up to 0.25% in “Distribution and
Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees” of the average daily net assets and may accrue up to
0.15% in “Shareholder Servicing Plan Fee” of the average daily net assets.
However, accrual for the Fund’s Institutional Class shares is currently set at
0.00% through at least February 28, 2025, and any accrual increase must
first be approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses above reflect the maximum Rule 12b-1 fee and/or
Shareholder Servicing Plan fee allowed while the Expense Ratios in the Financial
Highlights reflect actual expenses.
3 The Adviser has
contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fees and pay
expenses of the Large Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund Operating
Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary expenses, Rule
12b-1 fees and any other class-specific expenses) do not exceed 0.75% of the
average daily net assets of the Fund (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will
remain in effect through at least February 28,
2025, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board. The
Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived fees and paid expenses
pursuant to the contract from the Fund for 36 months from the date they were
waived or paid, subject to the Expense Cap at the time such amounts were waived
or at the time of recoupment, whichever is lower.
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Large Cap Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Cap
only in the first year). Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would

Portfolio
Turnover. The
Large Cap Value 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 33.77% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The Large Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of
its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of
large capitalization U.S. companies (“large cap companies”). The Fund looks for
companies whose stocks are considered by the Adviser to be
undervalued. The Adviser currently considers large cap companies to
be those with market capitalizations in the range of those found in the
Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index, although the portfolio will generally consist of
stocks with a market capitalization of $5 billion or above at time of initial
purchase. The market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index
changes constantly, but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization range
was between $362.3 million and $832.6 billion. Market capitalization is measured
at the time of initial purchase. The Fund also normally invests in stocks with
high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. Payout yield refers
to dividend yield (the yield from dividends paid) plus buyback yield (the yield
associated with a company buying back its own shares to reduce the number of
shares on the market, thereby increasing the earnings per share for the
remaining shares). While the Large Cap Value Fund is diversified, the Fund may
hold a higher concentration in certain issuers.
The Large Cap Value Fund may also make investments in securities of
non-U.S. issuers (“foreign securities”), including issuers in emerging
markets. The Fund will invest primarily in domestic U.S. securities
but reserves the right to invest up to 20% of its net assets in American
Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”), dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly
in foreign securities. Should appropriate investment opportunities be available,
the Fund may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) but not in an amount
that exceeds 50% of the Fund’s total assets. Additionally, the Fund may invest
in Rule 144A and other restricted equity securities but not in an amount that
exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total assets. From time to time, the Fund may be
invested in securities of companies in the same economic sector. As of
October 31, 2023, 25.2% of the Fund’s total investments were invested in
the technology sector.
The
Adviser employs a value investing style, investing in stocks which, in the
Adviser’s opinion, trade at a significant discount to the present value of
future cash flows. The Adviser attempts to identify out-of-favor
stocks that represent solid fundamental value. The Adviser identifies
these investment opportunities by employing a disciplined, bottom-up investment
process that emphasizes internally generated fundamental
research. The process includes an initial review, in-depth analysis,
and employment of the Adviser’s proprietary valuation methodology. The Fund
strives for tax efficiency which may include tax loss harvesting (i.e., periodically
selling positions that have depreciated in value to realize capital losses that
can be used to offset capital gains realized by the Fund) and other tools at the
Adviser’s disposal.
Principal
Risks
Losing all or a
portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Large Cap Value
Fund. The following additional risks could affect the value of
your investment:
•General
Market Risk.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly
interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one
country or
region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or
regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to
securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other
asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations
for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or
resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory
events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced
significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of
economic, political and global macro factors, which has resulted in disruptions
to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare
system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the
inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty.
Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political
events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to
market volatility. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing
armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the
Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the region, including
significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets
for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on
certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial
institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia.
The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do
so.
•Equity
Securities Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic
or political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors
affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Large Cap
Value Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in
economic or political conditions.
•Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to
additional risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility,
civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United States or
other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher transaction
costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment,
expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection
and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in
certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments
tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively
stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in
countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have
less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater
social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging
markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due
to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in
determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on
issuers.
•ADR
Risk.
Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are
associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADRs may
not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may
change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for
trading.
•Large-Sized
Company Risk. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly
to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative
smaller competitors. In addition, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to
attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during
extended periods of economic expansion.
•Initial
Public Offering Risk.
The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably
due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading,
the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about
the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO
shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. When the Large Cap Value
Fund’s asset base is small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance
could be attributable to investments in IPOs, because such investments would
have a
magnified impact on the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect
of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will
decline, which could reduce the Fund’s performance.
•Management
Risk. The Large Cap Value Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio
and the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s goal. The
Adviser will apply its investment techniques and risk analyses in making
investment decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its
decisions will produce the desired results.
•Value
Style Investing Risk. The Large Cap Value Fund emphasizes a “value” style of investing,
which targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved
valuations. This style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations
never improve or that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem
with the returns on other styles of investing or the stock market in
general.
•Sector
Emphasis Risk. The
securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if comprising a
significant portion of the Large Cap Value Fund’s portfolio, could react in some
circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and economic,
regulatory or fiscal developments and adversely affect the value of the
portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser portion
of the Fund’s portfolio.
•Technology
Sector Risk: Technology, hardware and services
companies can be significantly affected by competitive pressures, aggressive
pricing, technological developments, changing domestic demand, the ability to
attract and retain skilled employees and availability and price of components.
The market for products produced by these companies is characterized by rapidly
changing technology, rapid product obsolescence, cyclical market patterns,
evolving industry standards and frequent new product introductions. The success
of technology hardware companies depends in substantial part on the timely and
successful introduction of new products. An unexpected change in one or more of
the technologies affecting an issuer’s products or in the market for products
based on a particular technology could have a material adverse effect on a
participant’s operating results.
•Rule
144A Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than
the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk
that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more
difficult for the Large Cap Value Fund to sell these
securities.
•Focus
Risk.
At
such times the Large Cap Value Fund holds the securities of a small number of
issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments
affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that
invests more widely. This may increase the Large Cap Value Fund’s volatility and
cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a
greater impact on the Fund’s performance.
Performance
The following
performance information indicates some of the risks of investing in the Large
Cap Value Fund. The bar chart shows the annual returns for the
Fund’s Investor Class shares from year to year. The table shows how the Fund’s
average annual returns for the 1-year, 5-years, 10-years and since inception
periods compare with those of broad measures of market performance.
The Fund’s past performance,
before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will
perform in the future. The Fund’s past performance benefited
from IPOs of certain issuers. To the extent the Fund’s historical performance
resulted from gains derived from participation in IPOs and secondary offerings,
there is no guarantee that these results can be replicated or that the Fund will
be able to participate to the same degree in IPO and secondary offerings in the
future. Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at

1Huber
Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) has voluntarily agreed to reduce the
Fund’s management fee, from 1.00% to 0.00%, through at least February 28, 2025.
The Adviser cannot recoup these amounts.
2Each
class of the Mid Cap Value Fund may accrue up to 0.25% in “Distribution and
Service (Rule 12b-1) Fees” of the average daily net assets; however, accrual for
the Institutional Class shares is currently set at 0.00% through at least
February 28, 2025, and any accrual increase must first be approved by the
Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Investor Class shares may accrue up to
0.15% of the average daily net assets and the Institutional Class shares may
accrue up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of shareholder servicing
fees. Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses above reflect the maximum
Rule 12b-1 fee and/or Shareholder Servicing Plan fee allowed while the
Expense Ratios in the Financial Highlights reflect actual expenses.
3Total
Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the Expense Ratios provided
in the Financial Highlights section of the statutory prospectus, which reflect
the actual operating expenses of the Mid Cap Value Fund and do not include 0.01%
that is attributed to AFFE.
4The
Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management
fees and pay expenses of the Mid Cap Value Fund to ensure that Total Annual Fund
Operating Expenses (excluding AFFE, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary
expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees, and any other
class-specific expenses) do not exceed 1.00% of average daily net assets of the
Fund (the “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap will remain in effect through at least
February 28,
2025, and may be terminated only by the Trust’s Board of
Trustees (the “Board”). The Adviser may request recoupment of previously waived
fees and paid expenses pursuant to the contract from the Fund for 36 months from
the date they were waived and paid, subject to the Expense Cap at the time such
amounts were waived or at the time of recoupment, whichever is
lower.
Example. This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing
in the Mid Cap Value Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The
Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The
Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the
Fund’s operating expenses remain the same (taking into account the Expense Cap
only in the first year). Although your actual
costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would
be:

Portfolio
Turnover. The
Mid Cap Value 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 66.66% of the average value of its
portfolio.
Principal Investment
Strategies
The Mid Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of
its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of
mid-sized capitalization U.S. companies (“mid cap companies”) whose stocks are
considered by the Adviser to be undervalued. The Adviser currently considers mid
cap companies to be those with a market capitalization range that is consistent
with the market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 2500 Value Index. The
market capitalization range of the index changes constantly, but as of January
31, 2024, the market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 2500 Value Index
was between $16.8 million and $18.1 billion. The Fund also normally invests in
stocks with high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. While
the Mid Cap Value Fund is diversified, the Fund may hold a higher concentration
in certain issuers.
The Mid Cap Value Fund may make significant investments in securities
of non-U.S. issuers (“foreign securities”), including issuers in emerging
markets. The Fund invests primarily in domestic U.S. securities but reserves the
right to invest up to 20% of its net assets in American Depositary Receipts
(“ADRs”), dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly in foreign
securities. Should appropriate investment opportunities be available, the Fund
may invest in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) without limitation.
Additionally, the Fund may invest in Rule 144A and other restricted equity
securities but not in an amount that exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total
assets. From time to time, the Fund may be invested in securities of
companies in the same economic sector.
The
Adviser employs a value investing style, investing in stocks which, in the
Adviser’s opinion, trade at a significant discount to the present value of
future cash flows. The Adviser attempts to identify out-of-favor stocks that
represent solid fundamental value. The Adviser identifies these investment
opportunities by employing a disciplined; bottom-up investment process that
emphasizes internally generated fundamental research. The process includes an
initial review, in-depth analysis, and employment of the Adviser’s proprietary
valuation methodology. The Fund strives for tax efficiency which may include tax
loss harvesting (i.e., periodically
selling positions that have depreciated in value to realize capital losses that
can be used to offset capital gains realized by the Fund) and other tools at the
Adviser’s disposal.
Principal
Risks
Losing all or a
portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Mid Cap Value
Fund. The following additional risks could affect the value of
your investment:
•General
Market Risk. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are
becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events
or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers
in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may
underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a
particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors,
including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); interest rates; global
demand for particular products or resources; natural disasters or events;
pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory events; and government controls. U.S.
and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in
recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro
factors, which has resulted in disruptions to business operations and supply
chains, stress on the global healthcare system, growth concerns in the U.S. and
overseas, staffing shortages and the inability to meet consumer demand, and
widespread concern and uncertainty. Continuing uncertainties regarding interest
rates, rising inflation, political events, rising government debt in the U.S.
and trade tensions also contribute to market volatility. Conflict, loss of life
and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in
Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects
on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global
economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European
Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including
certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to
and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may
continue to do so.
•Management
Risk. The Mid Cap Value Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio
and the Fund relies on the Adviser’s ability to pursue the Fund’s goal. The
Adviser applies its investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment
decisions for the Fund, but there can be no guarantee that its decisions will
produce the desired results.
•Equity
Securities Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of economic
or political changes or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes
rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors
affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Mid Cap
Value Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in
economic or political conditions.
•Mid-Sized
Company Risk. A mid-sized company may be more vulnerable to adverse business or
economic events than stocks of larger companies. These stocks present greater
risks than securities of larger, more diversified companies.
•Value
Style Investing Risk. The Mid Cap Value Fund emphasizes a “value” style of investing, which
targets undervalued companies with characteristics for improved valuations. This
style of investing is subject to the risk that the valuations never improve or
that the returns on “value” securities may not move in tandem with the returns
on other styles of investing or the stock market in general.
•Sector
Emphasis Risk. The securities of companies in the same or related businesses, if
comprising a significant portion of the Mid Cap Value Fund’s portfolio, could
react in some circumstances negatively to market conditions, interest rates and
economic, regulatory or fiscal developments and adversely affect the value of
the portfolio to a greater extent than if such business comprised a lesser
portion of the Fund’s portfolio.
•Foreign
and Emerging Market Securities Risk.
Investments in foreign currencies and foreign issuers are subject to additional
risks, including political and economic risks, greater volatility,
civil conflicts and war, sanctions or other measures by the United
States or other governments, liquidity risks, currency fluctuations, higher
transaction costs, delayed settlement, possible foreign controls on investment,
expropriation and nationalization risks, and less stringent investor protection
and disclosure standards of foreign markets. Events and evolving conditions in
certain economies or markets may alter the risks associated with investments
tied to countries or regions that historically were perceived as comparatively
stable becoming riskier and more volatile. These risks are magnified in
countries in “emerging markets.” Emerging market countries typically have
less-established market economies than developed countries and may face greater
social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In addition, emerging
markets typically present greater illiquidity and price volatility concerns due
to smaller or limited local capital markets and greater difficulty in
determining market valuations of securities due to limited public information on
issuers.
•ADR
Risk.
Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are
associated with direct investments in foreign securities. In addition, ADRs may
not track the price of the underlying foreign securities, and their value may
change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for
trading.
•Initial
Public Offering Risk. The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will
fluctuate considerably due to factors such as the absence of a prior public
market, unseasoned trading, the small number of shares available for trading and
limited information about the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may
involve high transaction costs. IPO shares are subject to market risk
and liquidity risk. When the Mid Cap Value Fund’s asset base is
small, a significant portion of the Fund’s performance could be attributable to
investments in IPOs, because such investments would have a magnified impact on
the Fund. As the Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s
investments in IPOs on the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could
reduce the Fund’s performance.
•Rule
144A Securities Risk. The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than
the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk
that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more
difficult for the Mid Cap Value Fund to sell these securities.
•Focus
Risk.
At
such times the Mid Cap Value Fund holds the securities of a small number of
issuers, it may be more exposed to the risks associated with and developments
affecting an individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that
invests more widely. This may increase the Mid Cap Value Fund’s volatility and
cause the performance of a relatively smaller number of issuers to have a
greater impact on the Fund’s performance.

PRINCIPAL
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RELATED RISKS, AND
DISCLOSURE
OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS
Principal
Investment Objectives
Each
Fund’s investment objective described in the respective Summary Sections is
non-fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval upon 60 days’
written notice to shareholders. There is no assurance that each Fund will
achieve its investment objective.
Principal
Investment Strategies
Select
Large Cap Value Fund
The
Select Large Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets
(plus borrowings for investment purposes) in large cap companies. This policy
may only be changed upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
The Adviser currently considers large cap companies to be those with market
capitalizations in the range of those found in the Bloomberg US 1000 Value
Index, although the portfolio will generally consist of stocks with a market
capitalization of $1 billion or above at time of initial purchase. The market
capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index changes constantly,
but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization range was between $362.3
million and $832.6 billion. Market capitalization is measured at the time of
initial purchase. The Adviser expects to invest in predominantly “value”
companies. The Select Large Cap Value Fund also normally invests in stocks with
high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. Payout yield refers
to dividend yield (the yield from dividends paid) plus buyback yield (the yield
associated with a company buying back its own shares to reduce the number of
shares on the market, thereby increasing the earnings per share for the
remaining shares).
In
addition to these principal investments, the Fund may invest in stocks that do
not pay dividends, but the Adviser believes have growth potential unrecognized
by the market or have undergone changes in business or management that indicate
growth potential.
Small
Cap Value Fund
The
Small Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
borrowings for investment purposes) in small cap companies whose stocks are
considered by the Adviser to be undervalued. The Adviser currently considers
small cap companies to be those with market capitalizations of $3.0 billion or
less and/or those with market capitalizations in the range of those found in the
Bloomberg US 2000 Value Index. The market capitalization range of the Bloomberg
US 2000 Value Index changes constantly, but as of January 31, 2024, the market
capitalization range was between $16.8 million and $8.4 billion. Market
capitalization is measured at the time of initial purchase. The Adviser expects
to invest in predominantly “value” companies.
The
Small Cap Value Fund will provide at least 60 days’ prior written notice to
shareholders of a change in the Fund’s non-fundamental policy of investing at
least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in the type
of investments suggested by the Fund’s name.
Large
Cap Value Fund
The
Large Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
borrowings for investment purposes) in common stocks of large cap companies. The
Fund looks for companies whose stocks are considered by the Adviser to be
undervalued. The Adviser currently considers large cap companies to
be
those
with market capitalizations in the range of those found in the Bloomberg US 1000
Value Index, although the portfolio will generally consist of stocks with a
market capitalization of $5 billion or above at time of initial purchase. The
market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 1000 Value Index changes
constantly, but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization range was
between $362.3 million and $832.6 billion. Market capitalization is measured at
the time of initial purchase. The Fund also normally invests in stocks with high
cash dividends or payout yields relative to the market. Payout yield refers to
dividend yield (the yield from dividends paid) plus buyback yield (the yield
associated with a company buying back its own shares to reduce the number of
shares on the market, thereby increasing the earnings per share for the
remaining shares).
The
Large Cap Value Fund will provide at least 60 days’ prior written notice to
shareholders of a change in the Fund’s non-fundamental policy of investing at
least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings for investment purposes in the type
of investments suggested by the Fund’s name.
Mid
Cap Value Fund
The
Mid Cap Value Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus
borrowings for investment purposes) in mid cap companies whose stocks are
considered by the Adviser to be undervalued. The Adviser currently
considers mid cap companies to be those with a market capitalization range that
is consistent with the market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US 2500
Value Index. The market capitalization range of the index changes constantly,
but as of January 31, 2024, the market capitalization range of the Bloomberg US
2500 Value Index was between $16.8 million and $18.1 billion. The Adviser
expects to invest in predominantly “value” companies. The Fund also normally
invests in stocks with high cash dividends or payout yields relative to the
market.
The
Mid Cap Value Fund will provide at least 60 days’ prior written notice to
shareholders of a change in the Fund’s non-fundamental policy of investing at
least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in the
type of investments suggested by the Fund’s name.
Principal
Investment Strategies Common to All Funds
Should
appropriate investment opportunities be available, the Select Large Cap Value
Fund, Small Cap Value Fund, and Large Cap Value Fund may each invest in IPOs but
not in an amount that exceeds 50% of a Fund’s total assets. The Mid Cap Value
Fund may invest in IPOs without limitation. Additionally, each Fund may invest
in Rule 144A and other restricted equity securities but not in an amount that
exceeds 15% of the Fund’s total assets. From time to time, each Fund
may be invested in securities of companies in the same economic sector.
Currently, the Small Cap Value Fund invests a significant portion of its assets
in the financial sector, and the Large Cap Value Fund invests a significant
portion of its assets in the technology sector.
Each
Fund may make significant investments in foreign securities, including in
emerging markets. The Funds will invest primarily in domestic U.S. securities
but reserve the right to invest up to 20% of their net assets in ADRs,
dollar-denominated foreign securities, or directly in foreign securities. The
Adviser includes as a U.S. issuer a company that maintains its principal place
of business in the United States; has at least 50% of their assets, revenues or
earnings in the United States; or is listed on a U.S. exchange. The Funds strive
for tax efficiency which may include tax loss harvesting (i.e., periodically
selling positions that have depreciated in value to realize capital losses that
can be used to offset capital gains realized by the Fund) and other tools at the
Adviser’s disposal.
Temporary
or Cash Investments.
Under normal market conditions, the Funds will stay fully invested according to
their principal investment strategies as noted above. The Funds, however, may
temporarily
depart
from their principal investment strategies by making short-term investments in
cash, cash equivalents, and high-quality, short-term debt securities and money
market instruments for temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse
market, economic, political or other conditions. This may result in the Funds
not achieving their investment objectives during that period.
There
is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. In
addition, for longer periods of time, each Fund may hold a substantial cash
position. If the market advances during periods when a Fund is holding a large
cash position, the Fund may not participate to the extent they would have if the
Funds had been more fully invested. To the extent that a Fund uses a money
market fund for its cash position, there will be some duplication of expenses
because the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of such money market fund’s
advisory fees and operational expenses.
The
Adviser makes sell decisions based on valuation, risk and portfolio guidelines
or restrictions. As individual stocks approach their intrinsic value and decline
in their relative attractiveness, they become candidates for sale. Other sell
decisions may occur because of deterioration in the fundamentals that supported
the initial investment. Sales are initiated as position exposures approach
diversification guidelines when stocks reach their established target price.
Proceeds from sale are reinvested in companies that are more attractively valued
based on the purchase disciplines. Target prices are set for each holding and as
market prices approach the target value, a decision is made on whether to sell
the security.
Principal
Risks
There
is the risk that you could lose money by investing in the Funds. The value of
your investment in the Funds will fluctuate as the stocks in the Funds’
portfolios change in price. The prices of the stocks the Adviser selects may
decrease in value. Also, the stock market may decline suddenly, and for extended
periods, adversely affecting the prices of the stocks held by the
Funds.
By
themselves, the Funds are not complete, balanced investment plans and the
success of the Funds cannot be predicted.
Risks
Common to All Funds
General
Market Risk. Economies
and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly
interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one
country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or
regions. Securities in a Fund’s portfolio may underperform in comparison to
securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other
asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations
for inflation); interest rates; global demand for particular products or
resources; natural disasters or events; pandemic diseases; terrorism; regulatory
events; and government controls. U.S. and international markets have experienced
significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of
economic, political and global macro factors, which has resulted in disruptions
to business operations and supply chains, stress on the global healthcare
system, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, staffing shortages and the
inability to meet consumer demand, and widespread concern and uncertainty.
Continuing uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, political
events, rising government debt in the U.S. and trade tensions also contribute to
market volatility. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing
armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the
Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the region, including
significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets
for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on
certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial
institutions, and have limited
certain
exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market
volatility and may continue to do so.
Equity
Securities Risk.
The equity securities held by the Funds may experience sudden, unpredictable
drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of
factors that affect the securities market generally, such as adverse changes in:
economic conditions, the general outlook for corporate earnings, interest rates,
or investor sentiment. Equity securities may also lose value because of factors
affecting an entire industry or sector, such as increases in production costs,
or factors directly related to a specific company, such as decisions made by its
management.
Foreign
Securities and Emerging Markets Risk.
Investments in foreign securities and emerging markets are subject to special
risks. Each Fund’s returns and net asset value (“NAV”) may be affected by
several factors, including those described below.
Foreign
securities can be more volatile than domestic (U.S.) securities. Securities
markets of other countries are generally smaller than U.S. securities markets.
Many foreign securities may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S.
securities, which could affect the Funds’ investments. The exchange rates
between U.S. dollar and foreign currencies might fluctuate, which could
negatively affect the value of the Funds’ investments.
Foreign
securities are also subject to higher political, social and economic risks.
These risks include, but are not limited to, a downturn in the country’s
economy, excessive taxation, political instability, and expropriation of assets
by foreign governments. Compared to the U.S., foreign governments and markets
often have less stringent accounting, disclosure, and financial reporting
requirements.
In
addition, each Fund may invest in emerging markets. Emerging markets are those
of countries with immature economic and political structures. These markets are
more volatile than the markets of developed countries.
American
Depositary Receipts Risk.
Investments in ADRs are subject to many of the same risks that are associated
with direct investments in the securities of foreign companies. The securities
underlying ADRs are typically denominated (or quoted) in a currency other than
U.S. dollars and trade on foreign exchanges at times when the U.S. markets are
not open for trading. As a result, the value of ADRs may not track the price of
the underlying securities and may change materially at times when the U.S.
markets are not open for trading. A depository may establish an unsponsored
facility without participation by (or even necessarily the permission of) the
issuer of the deposited securities. Holders of unsponsored depository receipts
generally bear all the costs of such facility including fees for the deposit and
withdrawal of the deposited securities, the conversion of dividends into U.S.
dollars, the disposition of non-cash distributions, and the performance of other
services. The depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no
obligation to pass through voting rights to depository receipt holders in
respect of the deposited securities. In addition, an unsponsored facility is
generally not obligated to distribute communications received from the issuer of
the deposited securities or to disclose material information about such issuer
in the U.S. Sponsored depository receipt facilities enter into a deposit
agreement with the applicable issuer that sets out the rights and
responsibilities of the issuer, the depository, and the depository receipt
holders. With sponsored facilities, the issuer of the deposited securities
generally will bear some of the costs relating to the facility (such as dividend
payment fees of the depository), although depositary receipt holders continue to
bear certain other costs (such as deposit and withdrawal fees). Under the terms
of most sponsored arrangements, depositaries agree to distribute notices of
shareholder meetings and voting instructions, and to provide shareholder
communications and other information to the depository receipt holders at the
request of the issuer of the deposited securities.
Initial
Public Offering Risk.
The risk exists that the market value of IPO shares will fluctuate considerably
due to factors such as the absence of a prior public market, unseasoned trading,
the small number of shares available for trading and limited information about
the issuer. The purchase of IPO shares may involve high transaction costs. IPO
shares are subject to market risk and liquidity risk. Although IPO investments
may have had a positive impact on certain Funds’ performance in the past, there
can be no assurance that the Funds will identify favorable IPO positions in the
future. As a Fund’s assets grow, the effect of the Fund’s investments in IPOs on
the Fund’s performance probably will decline, which could reduce the Fund’s
performance.
Management
Risk.
The Funds are actively managed investment portfolios and they rely on the
Adviser’s ability to pursue the Funds’ goals. The Adviser will apply its
investment techniques and risk analyses in making investment decisions for the
Funds, but there can be no guarantee that these will produce the desired
results. The Adviser does not seek to replicate the performance of any index.
Notwithstanding its benchmark, each Fund may invest in securities not included
in its benchmarks or hold securities in very different proportions than its
benchmarks. To the extent a Fund invests in those securities, the Fund’s
performance depends on the ability of the Adviser to choose securities that
perform better than securities that are included in the benchmark. Additionally,
legislative, regulatory or tax developments may affect the investment techniques
available to the portfolio manager in connection with managing the Funds and may
also adversely affect the ability of the Funds to achieve their investment
objectives.
Value
Style Investing
Risk.
Certain
equity securities (generally referred to as value securities) are purchased
primarily because they are selling at prices below what an Adviser believes to
be their fundamental value and not necessarily because the issuing companies are
expected to experience significant earnings growth. The Funds bear the risk that
the companies that issued these securities may not overcome the adverse business
developments or other factors causing their securities to be perceived by the
Adviser to be under-priced or that the market may never come to recognize their
fundamental value. A value stock may not increase in price, as anticipated by
the Adviser investing in such securities, if other investors fail to recognize
the company’s value and bid up the price or invest in markets favoring faster
growing companies. A Fund’s strategy of investing in value stocks also carries
the risk that in certain markets value stocks will under-perform growth
stocks.
Sector
Emphasis Risk.
The Adviser’s value investment strategy of identifying investment opportunities
through a bottom-up process emphasizing internally generated fundamental
research, may from time to time result in the Funds investing significant
amounts of their portfolios in securities of issuers principally engaged in the
same or related businesses. Market conditions, interest rates and economic,
regulatory or financial developments could significantly affect a single
business or a group of related businesses. Sector emphasis risk is the risk that
the securities of companies in such business or businesses, if comprising a
significant portion of the Funds’ portfolios, could react in some circumstances
negatively to these or other developments and adversely affect the value of the
portfolio to a greater extent than if such business or businesses comprised a
lesser portion of a Fund’s portfolio.
Rule
144A Securities Risk.
The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than the market for
public securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk that the
trading market may not continue and the Fund might be unable to dispose of these
securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience
difficulty satisfying redemption requirements. In addition, transaction costs
may be higher for Rule 144A securities than for more liquid
securities.
Focus
Risk.
At
such times a Fund holds the securities of a small number of issuers, it may be
more exposed to the risks associated with and developments affecting an
individual issuer or a smaller number of issuers than a fund that invests more
widely. This may increase a Fund’s volatility and cause the performance of a
relatively smaller number of issuers to have a greater impact on the Fund’s
performance.
Investments in securities of a limited number of issuers exposes a Fund to
greater market risk, price volatility and potential losses than if assets were
invested in the securities of a greater number of issuers.
Risk
Specific to the Select Large Cap Value Fund
Large-Cap
Companies Risk. The
stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and
mid-sized companies. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond
quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and
consumer tastes. Many larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth
rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of
economic expansion.
Risks
Specific to the Small Cap Value Fund
Small-Cap
Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of small-sized companies may involve greater volatility
than investing in larger and more established companies because companies with
small market capitalizations can be subject to more abrupt or erratic share
price changes than larger, more established companies. Small-sized companies may
have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and their management
may be dependent on a limited number of key individuals. Securities of those
companies may have limited market liquidity and their prices may be more
volatile.
Financial
Sector Risk.
Performance
of companies in the financials sector may be adversely impacted by many factors,
including, among others, government regulations, economic conditions, credit
rating downgrades, changes in interest rates, and decreased liquidity in credit
markets. The impact of more stringent capital requirements, recent or future
regulation of any individual financial company or of the financials sector as a
whole cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyber attacks and technology
malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent in this sector and
have caused significant losses to companies in this sector, which may negatively
impact the Funds.
Risks
Specific to the Large Cap Value Fund
Large-Cap
Companies Risk. The
stocks of larger companies may underperform relative to those of small and
mid-sized companies. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond
quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and
consumer tastes. Many larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth
rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of
economic expansion.
Technology
Sector Risk.
Technology, hardware and services companies can be significantly affected by
competitive pressures, aggressive pricing, technological developments, changing
domestic demand, the ability to attract and retain skilled employees and
availability and price of components. The market for products produced by these
companies is characterized by rapidly changing technology, rapid product
obsolescence, cyclical market patterns, evolving industry standards and frequent
new product introductions. The success of technology hardware companies depends
in substantial part on the timely and successful introduction of new products.
An unexpected change in one or more of the technologies affecting an issuer’s
products or in the market for products based on a particular technology could
have a material adverse effect on a participant’s operating results.
Risk
Specific to the Mid Cap Value Fund
Mid-Cap
Companies Risk.
Investing in securities of mid cap companies may involve greater risk than
investing in larger, more established companies because they can be subject to
more abrupt or erratic
share
price changes. Smaller companies may have limited product lines, or limited
market or financial resources and their management may be dependent on a limited
number of key individuals. Securities of these companies may have limited market
liquidity and their prices may be more volatile. These stocks present greater
risks than securities of larger, more diversified companies.
Portfolio
Holdings Information
A
description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the
disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio securities is available in the Funds’
Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”). Currently, disclosure of the Funds’
holdings is required to be made quarterly within 60 days of the end of each
fiscal quarter in the Funds’ annual report and semi-annual report to Fund
shareholders and in the quarterly holdings report Part F of Form N-PORT. In
addition, the Funds disclose complete portfolio holdings on the Funds’ website
on a fiscal quarter-end basis at www.hubercap.com
with at least a 15-calendar day lag. A Fund may experience up to a 45-calendar
day lag in the website disclosure of its complete portfolio holdings if it is
determined that early disclosure could be harmful to the Fund. The portfolio
holdings for a Fund will remain posted on the website until updated with
required regulatory filings with the SEC. From time to time, the Adviser may
select additional portfolio characteristics for distribution to the public with
such frequencies and lag times as the Adviser determines to be in the best
interests of shareholders.
MANAGEMENT
OF THE FUNDS
Investment
Adviser
Huber
Capital Management, LLC is the Funds’ investment adviser and provides
discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust (the “Advisory
Agreement”). The Adviser’s address is 1700 East Walnut Avenue, Suite 460, El
Segundo, California 90245. The Adviser has provided investment advisory services
to individual and institutional accounts since 2007. The Adviser has provided
investment advisory services to the Funds since their inception. Joseph Huber,
the Adviser’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer, holds a
majority ownership share of the Adviser.
The
Adviser provides the Funds with advice on buying and selling securities. The
Adviser also furnishes the Funds with office space and certain administrative
services and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. For its
services in relation to the Funds, the Adviser is entitled to receive an annual,
contractual management fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, as

For
the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023, the Adviser received management fees of
0.61% of the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s average daily net assets, net of
waivers, management fees of 0.86% of the Small Cap Value Fund’s average daily
net assets, net of waivers, and waived its entire management fee for the Large
Cap Value Fund and the Mid Cap Value Fund.
Please
note, the Adviser is voluntarily reducing the Select Large Cap Value Fund’s
management fee from 0.99% to 0.75%, the Small Cap Value Fund’s management fee
from 1.35% to 0.99%, the Large Cap Value Fund’s management fee from 0.75% to
0.00% and the Mid Cap Value Fund’s management fee from 1.00% to 0.00%, through
at least February 28, 2025. The Adviser cannot recoup these
amounts.
A
discussion regarding the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory
Agreement for the Funds is available in the Funds’ semi-annual report to
shareholders for the period ended April 30, 2023.
The
Funds, as series of the Trust, do not hold themselves out as related to any
other series of the Trust for purposes of investment and investor services, nor
do they share the same investment adviser with any other series.
Portfolio
Manager
Joseph
Huber
is the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of the Adviser and
is principally responsible for the management of the Funds’
portfolios.
Prior
to founding Huber Capital Management, LLC, Mr. Huber was a Principal and
Director of Research for Hotchkis and Wiley Capital Management from October 2001
through March 2007, where he helped oversee over $40 billion in U.S. value asset
portfolios. He built a research platform which utilized best practices of both
fundamental research and behavioral psychology to create a unique and
value-added investment approach.
Mr.
Huber received his B.A. in statistics and econometrics from Northwestern
University where Mr. Huber was departmental valedictorian and received the
Directors Award for top graduating G.P.A. amongst student athletes. Mr. Huber
received his M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, with concentrations in
accounting and finance where he was elected to the Beta Gamma Sigma honor
society. He is also an Associate in the Society of Actuaries
(A.S.A.).
The
SAI provides additional information about the portfolio manager for the Funds,
including information about his compensation, other accounts managed by him, and
his ownership of securities in the Funds and any conflicts of
interest.
Fund
Expenses
Each
Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Adviser has
contractually agreed, however, to waive all or a portion of its management fees
and/or pay expenses of the Funds to ensure that the annual fund operating
expenses for the Fund (excluding AFFE, interest expense, taxes, extraordinary
expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other
class-specific expenses) do not exceed the following amounts as a percentage of
each Fund’s average daily net assets, through at least
February 28, 2025:
|
|
|
|
| |
Fund |
Expense
Cap |
Select
Large Cap Value Fund |
0.99% |
Small
Cap Value Fund |
1.28% |
Large
Cap Value Fund |
0.75% |
Mid
Cap Value Fund |
1.00% |
The
term of the operating expenses limitation agreement for the Select Large Cap
Value Fund, Large Cap Value Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund is indefinite, and it
can only be terminated by the Board. The term of the Small Cap Value Fund’s
operating expenses limitation agreement is through February 28, 2025, and it can
only be terminated by the Board. The Adviser may request recoupment of
previously waived fees and paid expenses in any subsequent month in the 36-month
period from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the
aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for
such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund
to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the
management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in
place at the time of the reimbursement. Any such recoupment is contingent upon
the subsequent review and ratification of the recouped amounts by the Board.
Each Fund must pay current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is
entitled to any recoupment of fees and expenses.
SHAREHOLDER
INFORMATION
Share
Price
Shares
of the Funds are sold at NAV per share, which is calculated for each Fund as of
the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each
day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for unrestricted business.
However, the Funds’ 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. The NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is
closed for trading.
Purchase
and redemption requests are priced at the next NAV per share calculated after
receipt of such requests. The NAV is the value of the Funds’ securities, cash
and other assets, minus all 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
the Funds, including management, shareholder servicing 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 the Funds 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. Where the security is listed
on more than one exchange, the Fund will use the price of the exchange that the
Funds generally consider to be the principal exchange on which the security is
traded. When market quotations are not readily available, a security or other
asset is valued at its fair value as determined under procedures approved by the
Adviser and approved by the Board. These fair value procedures will also be used
to price a security when corporate events, events in the securities market
and/or world events cause the Adviser to believe that a security’s last sale
price may not reflect its actual market value. The intended effect of using fair
value pricing procedures is to ensure that the Funds are accurately priced.
When
fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used to calculate the
Funds’ NAVs may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
Due to the subjective and variable nature of fair value pricing, it is possible
that the fair value determined for a particular security may be materially
different from the price of the security quoted or published by others or the
value when trading resumes or
realized
upon its sale. Therefore, if a shareholder purchases or redeems shares in the
Funds when they hold securities priced at a fair value, this may have the
unintended effect of increasing or decreasing the number of shares received in a
purchase or the value of the proceeds received upon a redemption.
In
the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of certain events after the close
of foreign markets, but prior to the time the Funds’ NAVs are calculated (such
as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. or other markets) often will
result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign
markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, the Funds will
value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events, in
calculating the NAVs. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an
investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating the Funds’ NAVs in advance of
the time the NAVs are calculated. The Adviser anticipates that the Funds’
portfolio holdings will be fair valued only if market quotations for those
holdings are considered unreliable.
Description
of Classes
The
Trust has adopted a multiple class plan that allows the Funds to offer one or
more classes of shares of the Funds. The Funds and this Prospectus offer two
classes of shares – Investor Class and Institutional Class. The different
classes of shares represent investments in the same portfolio of securities, but
the classes are subject to different expenses. Both classes charge a fee of
1.00% applied to redemptions on shares held for 60 days or less. You may be
required to pay commissions and/or other forms of compensation to a broker for
transactions in Investor Class shares or Institutional Class shares, which are
not reflected in the tables or the examples in the Summary Section of this
Prospectus.
Investor
Class
shares are charged a 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee and a 0.15%
shareholder servicing plan fee. Investor Class shares do not have a front-end
sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”), except that a charge
of 1.00% applies to redemptions on shares held for 60 days or less.
Institutional
Class
shares may be charged a 0.25% Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee and a
0.15% shareholder servicing plan fee; however, the accrual for each fee is
currently set at 0.00% through at least February 28, 2025, and any accrual
increase must first be approved by the Board except for the Mid Cap Value Fund’s
Institutional Class which has a 0.10% shareholder servicing plan fee for which
the accrual has been set to 0.00%. Institutional Class shares do not have a
front-end sales charge or CDSC, except that a charge of 1.00% applies to
redemptions on shares held for 60 days or less. An investor transacting in
Institutional 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.
Buying
Fund Shares

Shares
of the Funds may be purchased by check, wire, electronic funds transfer via the
Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) network or through approved financial
supermarkets, investment advisers and consultants, financial planners, brokers,
dealers and other investment professionals and their agents (“Brokers”)
authorized by the Funds to receive purchase orders. Each Fund’s minimum initial
investment
(as
well as subsequent additional investments) depends on the nature of the account
as shown in the table above.
Please
note the following:
•Institutional
Class shares are offered primarily to qualified registered investment advisors,
financial advisors and investors such as pension and profit sharing plans,
employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Institutional
Class shares may be purchased through certain financial intermediaries and
mutual fund supermarkets that charge their customers transaction or other fees
with respect to their customers’ investments in the Funds and may also be
purchased directly through the Funds’ transfer agent, U.S. Bank Global Fund
Services (the “Transfer Agent”).
•Wrap
account programs established with broker-dealers or financial intermediaries may
purchase Institutional Class shares only if the program for which the shares are
being acquired will not require the Funds to pay any type of distribution or
administrative payment to any third-party.
•A
registered investment adviser may aggregate all client accounts investing in the
Funds to meet the Institutional Class shares investment minimum.
The
Funds’ minimum investment requirements may be waived from time to time by the
Adviser, and for the following types of shareholders:
•Current
and retired employees, directors/trustees and officers of the Trust, the Adviser
and its affiliates and certain family members of each of them (i.e.,
spouse, domestic partner, child, parent, sibling, grandchild and grandparent, in
each case including in-law, step and adoptive relationships);
•Any
trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan for current and retired
employees, directors/trustees and officers of the Adviser and its affiliates;
•Current
employees of the Transfer Agent, broker-dealers who act as selling agents for
the Funds, intermediaries that have marketing agreements in place with the
Adviser and the immediate family members of any of them;
•Registered
investment advisers who buy through a broker-dealer or service agent who has
entered into an agreement with the Funds’ distributor;
•Qualified
broker-dealers who have entered into an agreement with the Funds’ distributor;
and
•Existing
clients of the Adviser, their employees and immediate family members of such
employees.
In-Kind
Purchases
The
Funds reserve the right to accept payment for shares in the form of securities
that are permissible investments for the Funds. See the SAI for further
information about the terms of these purchases.
Additional
Investments
Additional
purchases of Investor Class shares in the Funds may be made for $100 or more for
regular accounts and retirement accounts and additional purchases of
Institutional Class shares may be made for $5,000 or more. Exceptions and
waivers of the additional purchase minimum may be made at the Adviser’s
discretion. You may purchase additional shares of the Funds by sending a check,
with the Invest by Mail form from your most recent confirmation statement
received from the Transfer Agent,
to
the
Funds at the addresses listed under “Methods of Buying.” Please ensure that you
include your account number on the check. If you do not have the stub from your
Fund account statement, include your name, address and account number on a
separate statement. You may also make additional purchases by wire, by
electronic funds transfer through the ACH network or through a Broker. Please
follow the procedures described in this Prospectus.
Short-term
or excessive trading into and out of the Funds may harm performance by
disrupting management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, the
Funds may reject your purchase order if, in the Adviser’s opinion, you have a
pattern of short-term or excessive trading, your trading has been or may be
disruptive to a Fund, or rejection otherwise would be in a Fund’s best
interest.
In
compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer
Agent, will verify certain information on your new account application as part
of the Funds’ Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the new account
application, you must provide 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 provide the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses containing
only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. Please contact the Transfer Agent at
888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726) if you need additional assistance when completing
your new account application.
If
the Transfer Agent does not have a reasonable belief of the identity of an
investor, the new account application will be rejected or the investor will not
be allowed to perform a transaction on the account until such information is
received. In the rare event that the Transfer Agent is unable to verify your
identity, the Funds reserve the right to redeem your account at the current
day’s net asset value.
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 of 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.
Automatic
Investment Plan
Once
your account has been opened with the initial minimum investment, you may make
additional purchases at regular intervals through the Automatic Investment Plan
(“AIP”). If elected on your new account application, money can be automatically
transferred from your checking or savings account on a bi-weekly, monthly,
bi-monthly or quarterly basis. In order to participate in the AIP, each purchase
must be in the amount of $100 or more for Investor Class ($5,000 or more for
Institutional Class), and your financial institution must be a member of the ACH
network. The first AIP purchase will take place no earlier than seven business
days after the Transfer Agent has received your request. The Transfer Agent will
charge a $25 fee for any ACH payment that is rejected by your bank. You may
terminate your participation in the AIP by notifying the Transfer Agent at
888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726), at least five calendar days prior to the date of the
next AIP transfer. The Funds may modify or terminate the AIP at any time without
notice.
Requests
Must Be Received in Good Order
Your
share price will be the next NAV per share calculated after the Transfer Agent
or your Broker receives your request in good order. “Good order” means that your
purchase request includes: (1) the name of the Fund and share class,
(2) the dollar amount of shares to be purchased, (3) your new account
application or investment stub, and (4) a check payable to either the
“Huber Select Large Cap Value Fund,” “Huber Small Cap Value Fund,” “Huber Large
Cap Value Fund” or the “Huber Mid Cap Value Fund.” All requests received in good
order before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) will be processed on that
same
day. Requests received after 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) will receive the next
business day’s NAV per share.
Methods
of Buying
|
|
|
|
| |
Through
a Broker |
The
Funds may be offered through Brokers (e.g.,
broker-dealer or other financial intermediary). The Funds may also be
offered directly through the distributor. An order placed with a Broker is
treated as if it was placed directly with the Funds, and will be executed
at the next share price calculated by the Funds after receipt by a Broker.
Your Broker will hold your shares in a pooled account in the Broker’s
name. The Funds may pay the Broker to maintain your individual ownership
information, for maintaining other required records, and for providing
other shareholder services. The Broker who offers shares may require
payment of fees from their individual clients. If you invest through a
Broker, the policies and fees may be different than those described in
this Prospectus. For example, the Broker may charge transaction fees or
set different minimum investments. The Broker is responsible for
processing your order correctly and promptly, keeping you advised of the
status of your account, confirming your transactions and ensuring that you
receive copies of the Prospectus.
Please
contact your Broker to see if they are an approved Broker of the Funds and
for additional information. |

All
purchases by check must be in U.S. dollars drawn on a domestic financial
institution. The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. To
prevent check fraud, the Funds will not accept third party checks,
Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks
for the purchase of shares. The Funds are unable to accept post-dated
checks or any conditional order or payment.
To
buy shares of a Fund, complete a new account application and send it
together with your check for the amount you wish to invest in a Fund to
the address below. Checks should be made payable to the specific Huber
Fund in which you are investing. To make additional investments once you
have opened your account, write your account number on the check and send
it together with the remittance form from your most recent confirmation
statement received from the Transfer Agent. If your check is returned for
any reason, your purchase will be canceled and a $25 fee will be assessed
against your account by the Transfer Agent. You may also be responsible
for any loss sustained by the Funds for any payment that is
returned.

The
Funds and/or the Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee or other
acceptable signature authentication in other instances based on the
circumstances relative to the particular situation.
If
applicable, shareholders redeeming their shares by mail should submit
written instructions with a guarantee of their signature(s) by an eligible
institution acceptable to the Transfer Agent, such as a domestic bank or
trust company, broker, dealer, clearing agency or savings association, as
well as from participants in a medallion program recognized by the
Securities Transfer Association. The three recognized medallion programs
are Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program, Stock Exchanges

By
telephone |
To
redeem shares by telephone, call the Funds at 888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726)
and specify the amount of money you wish to redeem up to $100,000. You may
have a check sent to the address of record, or, if previously established
on your account, you may have proceeds sent by wire or electronic funds
transfer through the ACH network directly to your bank account. Wires are
subject to a $15 fee paid by the investor and your bank may charge a fee
to receive wired funds. You do not incur any charge when proceeds are sent
via the ACH network; however, credit may not be available in your bank
account for two to three days. If you have a retirement account, you may
not redeem your shares by telephone.
If
you are authorized to perform telephone transactions (either through your
new account application or by subsequent arrangement in writing with the
Funds) you may redeem shares in the amount of $100,000 or less, by
instructing the Funds by phone at 888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726). A signature
guarantee or acceptable signature verification may be required of all
shareholders in order to qualify for or to change telephone redemption
privileges.
You
may encounter higher than usual call wait times during periods of high
market activity. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be
able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close. If you
are unable to contact the Funds by telephone, you may mail your redemption
request in writing to the address noted
above. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
Note:
Neither the Funds nor their service providers will be liable for any loss
or expense in acting upon instructions that are reasonably believed to be
genuine. To confirm that all telephone instructions are genuine, the Funds
will use reasonable procedures, such as requesting:
•That
you correctly state the Fund account number;
•The
name in which your account is registered;
•The
social security or tax identification number under which the account is
registered; and
•The
address of the account holder, as stated in the account
application. |
Exchange
Privilege
As
a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of one Huber Fund for
shares of another Huber Fund in the Trust. However, you should note the
following:
•You
may only exchange between accounts that are registered with the same name,
address, and taxpayer identification number;
•You
may generally only exchange shares of the same class;
•You
may exchange between different classes if investment minimums are
met;
•Before
exchanging into a Fund, read about the Fund in this Prospectus;
•Exchanges
between Funds are considered a sale and purchase of Fund shares for tax purposes
and may be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss depending on
the period shares are held;
•Each
Fund reserves the right to refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if,
in the Adviser’s judgment, the Fund would be unable to invest the money
effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would
otherwise potentially be adversely affected;
•The
minimum exchange amount between the Funds is $100 for Investor Class and $5,000
for Institutional Class; and
•Redemption
fees will not be assessed when an exchange occurs between the
Funds.
You
may make exchanges of your shares between the Funds by telephone, in writing or
through your Broker. Telephone requests to exchange shares can be made for a
$5.00 exchange fee. Note that only four exchanges are permitted per calendar
year.
Systematic
Withdrawal Plan
You
may request that a predetermined dollar amount be sent to you each month or
quarter. Your account must have a value of at least $2,500 for Investor Class
and $500,000 for Institutional Class for you to be eligible to participate in
the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (the “SWP”). The minimum withdrawal amount for
the Investor Class is $250 and the minimum withdrawal amount for the
Institutional Class is $1,000. If you elect this method of redemption, the Funds
will send a check to your address of record, or will send the payment via
electronic funds transfer through the ACH network, directly to your bank
account. You may request an application for the SWP by calling the Transfer
Agent toll-free at 888-HUBERCM (888-482-3726). The Funds may modify or terminate
the SWP at any time. You may terminate your
participation
in the SWP by writing or calling the Transfer Agent five days prior to the
effective date of the next withdrawal. Redemption fees do not apply to
transactions through the SWP.
Payment
of Redemption Proceeds
As
discussed above, you may receive proceeds of your sale in a check, ACH, or
federal wire transfer. You may redeem the Funds’ shares at a price equal to the
NAV per share next determined after the Transfer Agent receives your redemption
request in good order. Your redemption request cannot be processed on days the
NYSE is closed. The Funds typically expect that they will take one to three days
following the receipt of your redemption request to pay out redemption proceeds.
However, while not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven
days if sending proceeds earlier could adversely affect the Funds.
All
requests received in good order by the Fund before the close of the regular
trading session of the NYSE (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) will
usually be sent to the bank you indicate or mailed on the following day to the
address of record.
The
Funds typically expect that a Fund will utilize cash or cash equivalents to meet
redemption requests. The Funds may also use the proceeds from the sale of
portfolio securities to meet redemption requests if consistent with the
management of the Fund. These redemption methods will be used regularly and may
also be used in unusual market conditions.
The
Funds reserve the right to redeem in-kind as described under “Redemptions
In-Kind” below. Redemptions in-kind are typically used to meet redemption
requests that represent a large percentage of a Fund’s net assets in order to
minimize the effect of large redemptions on the Fund and its remaining
shareholders. Redemptions in-kind are typically only used when it would be in
the best interest of shareholders to do so, or when a redemption represents a
large proportion of total Fund assets.
If
you purchase shares using a check or electronic funds transfer through the ACH
network and soon after request a redemption, the Funds will honor the redemption
request, but will not mail the proceeds until your payment has cleared (usually
within 12 calendar days). Furthermore, there are certain times when you may
be unable to sell the Fund shares or receive proceeds. Shareholders can avoid
this delay by utilizing the wire purchase option.
Specifically,
the Funds may suspend the right to redeem shares or postpone the date of payment
upon redemption for more than three business days (1) for any period during
which the NYSE is closed (other than customary weekend or holiday closings) or
trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) for any period during which an
emergency exists as a result of which disposal by a Fund of securities owned by
it is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the
Fund fairly to determine the value of its net assets; or (3) for such other
periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) may permit for the
protection of a Fund’s shareholders.
Other
Redemption Information
Shareholders
who have 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 a 10% withholding tax.
Redemptions
In-Kind
The
Funds generally pay redemption proceeds in cash. However, under unusual
conditions that make the payment of cash unwise (and for the protection of the
Funds’ remaining shareholders) the Funds might pay all or part of a
shareholder’s redemption proceeds in liquid securities with a market value equal
to the redemption price (redemption-in-kind). A redemption, whether in cash or
in-kind, is a taxable event to you.
Specifically,
if the amount you are redeeming is in excess of the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of
a Fund’s net assets, the Fund has the right to redeem your shares by giving you
the amount that exceeds $250,000 or 1% of the Fund’s net assets in securities
instead of cash. If a Fund pays your redemption proceeds by a distribution of
securities, you could incur brokerage or other charges in converting the
securities to cash, and will bear any market risks associated with such
securities until they are converted into cash. See the SAI for further
information about the terms of these redemptions.
TOOLS
TO COMBAT FREQUENT TRANSACTIONS
The
Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and
redemptions of Fund shares by Fund shareholders. The Funds discourage excessive,
short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt
portfolio management strategies and harm the Funds’ performances. The Funds may
decide to restrict purchase and sale activity in their shares based on various
factors, including whether frequent purchase and sale activity will disrupt
portfolio management strategies and adversely affect a Fund’s performance or
whether the shareholder has conducted four round trip transactions within a
12-month period. The Funds take steps to reduce the frequency and effect of
these activities in the Funds. These steps include imposing a redemption fee,
monitoring trading practices, rejecting exchanges between the Funds that seem to
be excessive and using fair value pricing. Although these efforts (which are
described in more detail below) 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 seek to exercise their judgment in
implementing these tools to the best of their abilities in a manner that the
Funds believe is consistent with shareholder interests.
Redemption
Fees
The
Funds charge a 1.00% redemption fee on the redemption of Fund shares held for 60
days or less. This fee (which is paid into the applicable Fund) is imposed in
order to help offset the transaction costs and administrative expenses
associated with the activities of short-term “market timers” that engage in the
frequent purchase and sale of Fund shares. The “first in, first out” (FIFO)
method is used to determine the holding period; this means that if you bought
shares on different days, the shares purchased first will be redeemed first for
the purpose of determining whether the redemption fee applies. The redemption
fee is deducted from your proceeds and is retained by each Fund for the benefit
of its long-term shareholders. Redemption fees will not apply to shares acquired
through the reinvestment of dividends or through shares associated with any of
the Funds’ systematic programs. Exchange transactions between the Funds are
exempt from redemption fees. Although the Funds have the goal of applying this
redemption fee to most such redemptions, the redemption fee may not apply in
certain circumstances where it is not currently practicable for the Funds to
impose the fee, such as redemptions of shares held in certain omnibus accounts
or retirement plans.
The
Funds’ redemption fee will not apply to broker wrap-fee program accounts.
Additionally, the Funds’ redemption fee will not apply to the following types of
transactions:
•premature
distributions from retirement accounts due to the disability or health of the
shareholder;
•minimum
required distributions from retirement accounts;
•redemptions
resulting in the settlement of an estate due to the death of the shareholder;
•shares
acquired through reinvestment of distributions (dividends and capital gains);
and
•redemptions
initiated through the systematic withdrawal plan.
Monitoring
Trading Practices
The
Funds monitor selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term
trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, a Fund believes that a
shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, it may, in its
discretion, ask the shareholder to stop such activities or refuse to process
purchases in the shareholder’s accounts. In making such judgments, the Funds
seek to act in a manner that they believe 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
severely limited because the Funds do not have simultaneous access to the
underlying shareholder account information.
In
compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
Quasar Distributors, LLC, the Funds’ distributor, on behalf of the Funds, has
entered into written agreements with each of the Funds’ financial
intermediaries, under which the intermediary must, upon request, provide the
Funds with certain shareholder and identity trading information so that the
Funds can enforce their short-term trading policies. Information received from
financial intermediaries on omnibus accounts will not be used for any other
purpose except for compliance with SEC rules.
Fair
Value Pricing
Each
Fund employs fair value pricing selectively to ensure greater accuracy in its
daily NAV and to prevent dilution by frequent traders or market timers who seek
to take advantage of temporary market anomalies. The Adviser has developed
procedures which utilize fair value pricing when reliable market quotations are
not readily available or the Funds’ pricing service does not provide a valuation
(or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser does not represent
the security’s fair value), or when, in the judgment of the Adviser, events have
rendered the market value unreliable. Valuing securities at fair value involves
reliance on judgment. Fair value determinations are made in good faith in
accordance with procedures adopted by the Adviser. There can be no assurance
that a Fund will obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell
the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its NAV per
share.
More
detailed information regarding fair value pricing can be found under the heading
titled, “Shareholder Information – Share Price.”
General
Policies
Some
of the following policies are mentioned above. In general, the Funds reserve the
right to:
•Refuse,
change, discontinue, or temporarily suspend account services, including
purchase, or telephone redemption privileges, for any reason;
•Reject
any purchase request for any reason. Generally, the Funds do this if the
purchase is disruptive to the efficient management of the Funds (due to the
timing of the investment or an investor’s history of excessive
trading);
•Redeem
all shares in your account if your balance falls below a Fund’s minimum initial
investment requirement due to redemption activity. If, within 30 days of
the Fund’s written request, you have not increased your account balance, you may
be required to redeem your shares. The Funds will not require you to redeem
shares if the value of your account drops below the investment minimum due to
fluctuations of NAV;
•Delay
paying redemption proceeds for up to seven calendar days after receiving a
request, if an earlier payment could adversely affect the Funds;
and
•Reject
any purchase or redemption request that does not contain all required
documentation.
If
you accept telephone options on the new account application or in a letter to
the Funds, you may be responsible for any fraudulent telephone orders as long as
the Funds have taken reasonable precautions to verify your identity. If an
account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Funds will accept
telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. In addition,
once you place a telephone transaction request, it cannot be canceled or
modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time).
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. If you are unable to contact the
Funds by telephone, you may also mail your request to the Funds at the address
listed under “Methods of Buying.”
Your
Broker or other financial intermediary may establish policies that differ from
those of the Funds. For example, the organization may charge transaction fees,
set higher minimum investments, or impose certain limitations on buying or
selling shares in addition to those identified in this Prospectus. Contact your
Broker or other financial intermediary for details.
Lost
Shareholders, Inactive Accounts and Unclaimed Property.
It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each
shareholder. An incorrect address may cause a shareholder’s account
statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon
statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the
shareholder or rightful owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to
locate the shareholder, then it will determine whether the shareholder’s account
can legally be considered abandoned. Your mutual fund account may be
transferred to the state government of your state of residence if no activity
occurs within your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your
state’s abandoned property laws. The Funds are legally obligated to
escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed
property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. The
shareholder’s last known address of record determines which state has
jurisdiction. Please proactively contact the Transfer Agent toll-free at
1-888-482-3726 at least annually to ensure your account remains in active
status.
If
you are a resident of the state of Texas, you may designate a representative to
receive notifications that, due to inactivity, your mutual fund account assets
may be delivered to the Texas Comptroller. Please contact the Transfer
Agent if you wish to complete a Texas Designation of Representative
form.
Householding
In
an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate
prospectuses, proxy statements and other similar documents you receive by
sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts
and to shareholders the Transfer Agent reasonably believes are from the same
family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue
householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 888-HUBERCM
(888-482-3726) to request individual copies of these documents. Once the
Transfer Agent receives notice to stop householding, the Transfer Agent will
begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This
policy does not apply to account statements.
DISTRIBUTION
OF FUND SHARES
Distribution
and Service (Rule 12b-1) Plan
The
Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 that allows the Funds to
reimburse distribution and service fees attributable to the sale, distribution
and servicing of their shares. The “reimbursement plan” provides for the payment
of a distribution and service fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of average
daily net assets of each share class of each Fund for actual expenses incurred.
Because these fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets, over time these fees will
increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other
types of sales charges. With respect to each Fund’s Institutional Class shares,
the Board has approved a 0.00% Rule 12b-1 fee accrual payable by the Funds
through at least February 28, 2025. Any increase to the accrual rate
must first be approved by the Board.
Shareholder
Servicing Plan
The
Funds have a shareholder servicing plan. The Funds pay the Adviser, who in turn
may pay authorized agents, up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets of each
share class of each Fund attributable to their shareholders except with regard
to the Mid Cap Value Fund’s Institutional Class for which the shareholder
servicing plan fee is up to 0.10%. The authorized agents may provide a variety
of services, such as: (1) aggregating and processing purchase and
redemption requests and transmitting such orders to the Transfer Agent;
(2) providing shareholders with a service that invests the assets of their
accounts in shares pursuant to specific or pre-authorized instructions;
(3) processing dividend and distribution payments from the Funds on behalf
of shareholders; (4) providing information periodically to shareholders
showing their positions; (5) arranging for bank wires; (6) responding
to shareholder inquiries concerning their investment; (7) providing
sub-accounting with respect to shares beneficially owned by shareholders or the
information necessary for sub-accounting; (8) if required by law,
forwarding shareholder communications (such as proxies, shareholder reports,
annual and semi-annual financial statements and dividend, distribution and tax
notices); and (9) providing similar services as may reasonably be
requested.
With
respect to the Select Large Cap Value Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Large Cap
Value Fund’s Institutional Class shares, the Board has approved a 0.00%
shareholder servicing plan fee accrual payable by the Funds through at least
February 28, 2025. Any increase to the accrual rate must first be
approved by the Board.
While
this plan is in effect, the Adviser reports in writing at least quarterly to the
Funds’ Board, and the Board reviews the amounts expended under the plan and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made. For purposes of this plan, the
Adviser may itself be an authorized agent and thus may be able to be reimbursed
and compensated for eligible services performed pursuant to the
plan.
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.
Service
Fees – Other Payments to Third Parties
The
Funds may pay service fees to intermediaries such as banks, broker-dealers,
financial Advisers or other financial institutions, including affiliates of the
Adviser, for sub-administration, sub-transfer agency and other shareholder
services associated with shareholders whose shares are held of record in
omnibus, other group accounts or accounts traded through registered securities
clearing agents.
The
Adviser, out of its own resources, and without additional cost to the Funds or
their shareholders, may provide additional cash payments or non-cash
compensation to intermediaries who sell shares of the Funds. Such payments and
compensation are in addition to Rule 12b-1 and shareholder servicing plan fees
paid by each Fund. These additional cash payments are generally made to
intermediaries that provide shareholder servicing, marketing support and/or
access to sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives
of the intermediary. Cash compensation may also be paid to intermediaries for
inclusion of the Funds on a sales list, including a preferred or select sales
list, in other sales programs or as an expense reimbursement in cases where the
intermediary provides shareholder services to the Funds’ shareholders. The
Adviser may also pay cash compensation in the form of finder’s fees that vary
depending on the Funds and the dollar amount of the shares sold.
DISTRIBUTIONS
AND TAXES
Dividends
and Distributions
The
Funds will make distributions of dividends and capital gains, if any, at least
annually, typically in December. A Fund may make an additional payment of
dividends or distributions if it deems it desirable at any other time during the
year.
All
distributions will be reinvested in Fund shares unless you choose one of the
following options: (1) receive dividends in cash, while reinvesting capital
gain distributions in additional Fund shares; (2) receive capital gain
distributions in cash while reinvesting dividends in additional Fund shares; or
(3) receive all distributions in cash. If you wish to change your
distribution option, write or call the Transfer Agent at 888-HUBERCM
(888-482-3726) in advance of the payment date of the distribution. Dividends and
distributions will be taxable whether paid in cash or reinvested in additional
shares.
If
an investor elects to receive distributions in cash and the U.S. Postal Service
cannot deliver your check, or if a check remains uncashed for six months, the
Funds reserve the right to reinvest the distribution check in the shareholder’s
account at the Fund’s then current NAV per share and to reinvest all subsequent
distributions.
Tax
Matters
Each
Fund has elected and intends to continue to qualify to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”). As a regulated investment company, each Fund will not be
subject to federal income tax if it distributes its taxable income as required
by tax law and satisfies certain other requirements that are described in the
SAI.
The
Funds intend to make distributions of dividends and capital gains. Dividends are
taxable to shareholders as ordinary income (or in some cases as qualified
dividend income) or capital gain. Distributions of short-term capital gains are
taxable as ordinary income. Distributions of long-term
capital
gains are taxable as long-term capital gains. The rate an individual shareholder
pays on capital gain distributions will depend on how long the Fund held the
securities that generated the gains, not on how long the individual has owned
the Fund shares. A portion of the ordinary income dividends paid by the Funds
may be qualified dividend income eligible for taxation at long-term capital gain
rates for individual investors, provided that certain holding period and other
requirements are met. Qualified dividend income, the amount of which will be
reported to you by the Funds, is currently taxed at a maximum federal rate of
20%. Eligibility for the qualified dividend tax rate also depends on the
underlying sources of a Fund’s income and therefore cannot be predicted with
certainty and may fluctuate from year to year. Although distributions are
generally taxable when received, certain distributions declared in October,
November, or December to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a
month but paid in January are taxable as if received the prior December.
Dividends and net capital gains are subject to a 3.8% surtax for shareholders in
the higher tax brackets.
For
taxable years beginning after 2017 and before 2025, non-corporate taxpayers
generally may deduct 20% of “qualified business income” derived either directly
or through partnerships or S corporations. For this purpose, “qualified business
income” generally includes ordinary real estate investment trust (“REIT”)
dividends and income derived from master limited partnership (“MLP”)
investments. Non-corporate shareholders can claim the qualified business income
deduction with respect to REIT dividends received by the Fund if the Fund meets
certain holding period and reporting requirements. There is currently no
mechanism for the Funds, to the extent that the Funds invest in MLPs, to pass
through to non-corporate shareholders the character of ordinary income derived
from MLP investments so as to allow such shareholders to claim this deduction.
It is uncertain whether future legislation or other guidance will enable the
Funds to pass through to non-corporate shareholders the ability to claim this
deduction.
You
will be taxed on distributions of the Funds whether you receive your dividends
and capital gain distributions in cash or if they are reinvested in additional
Fund shares. Both cash and reinvested distributions will be taxed in the same
manner.
If
you redeem your Fund shares, part of your redemption proceeds may represent your
allocable share of the distributions made by the Fund relating to the tax year
of the redemption. You will be informed annually of the amount and nature of the
Fund’s distributions. Sale or exchange of your Fund shares is generally a
taxable event for you. An exchange of shares between the Funds by you is treated
as a taxable sale. Depending on the purchase and the sale price of the shares
you sell or exchange, you may have a gain or a loss on the transaction. You are
responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transaction. The Code
limits the deductibility of capital losses in certain
circumstances.
By
law, the Funds must withhold from your taxable distributions and redemption
proceeds an amount as backup withholding determined at a rate as set forth under
section 3406 of the Code, 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 Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) instructs the Funds to
do so. Backup withholding is not an additional tax and amounts withheld may be
credited if proper documentation is provided to the IRS.
In
managing the Funds, the Adviser considers the tax effects of its investment
decisions to be of secondary importance. Shareholders should be aware that the
Funds may make taxable distributions of income and capital gains even when share
values have declined.
Additional
information concerning the taxation of the Funds and their shareholders is
contained in the SAI. You should consult your own tax adviser concerning
federal, state and local taxation of distributions from a Fund.
INDEX
DESCRIPTIONS
Investors
cannot invest directly in an index, although they may invest in the underlying
securities.
The
S&P
500®
Index
is an unmanaged, capitalization weighted index that measures the performance of
500 large-capitalization stocks representing all major industries.
The
Bloomberg
US 1000 Value Index
is screened from the Bloomberg US 1000 Index and is constructed based on a
linear combination of risk factors. The four factors are: 1) Earnings Yield, 2)
Valuation, 3) Dividend Yield and 4) Growth. The factors are equally weighted
when forming a composite signal where Growth is considered to be a negative
indicator and thus flipped to be a negative. The Indices are
market-capitalization-weighted.
The
Bloomberg
US 2000 Value Index
is screened from the Bloomberg US 2000 Index and is constructed based on a
linear combination of risk factors. The four factors are: 1) Earnings Yield, 2)
Valuation, 3) Dividend Yield and 4) Growth. The factors are equally weighted
when forming a composite signal where Growth is considered to be a negative
indicator and thus flipped to be a negative. The Indices are
market-capitalization-weighted.
The
Bloomberg
US 2500 Value Index
is screened from the Bloomberg US 2500 Index and is constructed based on a
linear combination of risk factors. The four factors are: 1) Earnings Yield, 2)
Valuation, 3) Dividend Yield and 4) Growth. The factors are equally weighted
when forming a composite signal where Growth is considered to be a negative
indicator and thus flipped to be a negative. The Indices are
market-capitalization-weighted.
FINANCIAL
HIGHLIGHTS
The
financial highlights tables below are intended to help you understand the
financial performance of the Funds for the fiscal periods shown. Certain
information reflects financial results for a single share of each Fund. The
total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned
or lost on an investment in each Fund assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions. This information has been audited by Tait, Weller & Baker
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with
the Funds’ financial statements, are included in the Funds’ annual
report
dated October 31, 2023, which is available free of charge upon request.
