PIA BBB Bond Fund (“BBB Bond Fund” or the “Fund”)
Investment Objective
The BBB Bond Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide a total rate of return that approximates that of bonds rated within the BBB category by credit rating agencies currently registered as nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”).
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.
SHAREHOLDER FEES (fees paid directly from your investment)
None
ANNUAL FUND OPERATING EXPENSES (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)
Management Fees(1)
None
Other Expenses 0.17%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.17%
(1)Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) will not charge a fee for its advisory services to the BBB Bond Fund. However, investors in the Fund are clients of the Adviser and pay the Adviser an advisory fee to manage their assets, which include assets invested in the Fund.

Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the BBB Bond Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$17 $55 $96 $217
Portfolio Turnover
The BBB Bond Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 8% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the BBB Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds rated BBB by S&P Global Ratings, Baa by Moody’s Ratings or BBB by Fitch Ratings. The BBB-rated bonds are defined by the Bloomberg index methodology. The Fund seeks to approximate returns of bonds rated within the BBB category by any credit rating agency currently registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as NRSROs.

The weighted average duration of the BBB Bond Fund will generally range from four to eight years. Duration is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity. Higher duration indicates bonds that are
4


more sensitive to interest rate changes. Bonds with shorter duration reduce the risk associated with interest rates. Duration takes into account a debt security’s cash flows over time, including assumptions about the timing of how a debt security might be prepaid by the issuer or redeemed by the holder prior to its stated maturity date. In contrast, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due.
In selecting investments for the BBB Bond Fund, the Adviser will primarily consider credit quality, duration and yield.
The BBB Bond Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars, including issuers located in emerging markets.
In its effort to provide a total rate of return that approximates that of bonds rated within the BBB category as defined by the Bloomberg index methodology, the BBB Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in futures, options and other derivatives. The Fund may sometimes use derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in bonds rated BBB or Baa and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce or increase exposure to other risks, such as interest rate risk.
Principal Investment Risks
By itself, the Fund is not a complete, balanced investment plan. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objectives. Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks are considered principal and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:
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 BBB Bond Fund is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not work to produce the desired results.
Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities will change based on changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value.
5


Credit Risk. The issuers of the bonds and other debt securities held by the BBB Bond Fund may not be able to make interest or principal payments.
Prepayment Risk. Issuers of securities held by the BBB Bond Fund may be able to prepay principal due on these securities, particularly during periods of declining interest rates. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities.
Liquidity Risk. Reduced liquidity in the bond markets can result from a number of events, such as limited trading activity, reductions in bond inventory, and rapid or unexpected changes in interest rates. Less liquid markets could lead to greater price volatility and limit the Fund’s ability to sell a holding at a suitable price.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve the risk of improper valuation, the risk of ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate closely with the underlying security. Losses from a derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.
Risks Associated with Inflation and Deflation. Inflation risk is the risk that increasing prices throughout the economy may erode the purchasing power of an investment over time. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time — the opposite of inflation.
High Yield Securities Risk. The BBB Bond Fund may hold high yield securities as a result of credit rating downgrades. Securities with ratings lower than BBB or Baa are known as “high yield” securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). High yield securities typically carry higher coupon rates than investment grade securities, but also are considered as speculative and may be subject to greater market price fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk of loss of income or principal including greater possibility of default and bankruptcy of the issuer of such instruments than more highly rated bonds and loans.
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.
Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the BBB Bond Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund.

Therefore, performance prior to this time is not fully reflective of the Fund’s investment strategy.
The after-tax returns were calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold shares of the Fund through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts (“IRAs”). The Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares is higher than other return figures when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.

SUMMARY SECTION
PIA MBS Bond Fund (“MBS Bond Fund” or the “Fund”)
Investment Objective
The MBS Bond Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide a total rate of return that exceeds the Bloomberg U.S. MBS Fixed Rate Index (the “MBS Index”).
Fees and Expenses of the Fund
This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. You may pay other fees, such as brokerage commissions and other fees to financial intermediaries, which are not reflected in the table and example below.

(1)Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser”) will not charge a fee for its advisory services to the MBS Bond Fund. However, investors in the Fund are clients of the Adviser and pay the Adviser an advisory fee to manage their assets, which include assets invested in the Fund.
(2)The Adviser has agreed to temporarily pay for all operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses (“AFFE”) incurred by the Fund through at least March 29, 2025 to the extent necessary to limit Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the Fund to 0.28% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “temporary expense limitation”). The temporary expense limitation may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Trustees. The Adviser may not recoup amounts subject to the temporary expense limitation in future periods. The table shows the net expenses of the Fund as 0.28% reflecting the fact that the Fund is used to implement certain fixed-income strategies that are offered to Eligible Investors (as such are defined in the statutory prospectus). Investors should carefully consider the separate fees charged in connection with investment in the Fund. AFFE are the indirect costs of investing in other investment companies, such as a money market funds.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the MBS Bond 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 temporary expense limitation only in the first year). Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
$29 $112 $203 $471

Portfolio Turnover
The MBS Bond Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
Under normal market conditions, the MBS Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in mortgage-backed securities, including commercial mortgage-backed securities. In pursuing its objective, the Adviser attempts to provide a return that exceeds the total rate of return of the MBS Index, although there is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to do so. The MBS Index represents the universe of mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). The Adviser will primarily consider credit quality, effective duration and yield in selecting investments for the Fund’s portfolio. The duration of the Fund will generally be in a range of plus or minus 1.5 years of the effective duration of the MBS Index.
The MBS Bond Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in futures, options, other derivatives, and up to 20% in other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The Fund may sometimes use derivatives as a substitute for taking positions in bonds and/or as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks. The Fund may also utilize the “To Be Announced” (“TBA”) market for mortgage-backed securities for up to 100% of its net assets. The TBA market allows investors to gain exposure to mortgage-backed securities with certain broad characteristics (maturity, coupon, etc.) without taking delivery of the actual securities until the settlement day which is once every month. In addition, the Fund may utilize the dollar roll market, in which one sells, in the TBA market, the security for current month settlement, while simultaneously committing to buy a substantially similar TBA security for next month settlement. Rule 18f-4 under the 1940 Act permits the Fund to invest in TBA securities, notwithstanding the limitation on the issuance of senior securities in Section 18 of the 1940 Act, provided that the Fund intends to physically settle the transaction and the transaction will settle within 35 days of its trade date (the “Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision”). A TBA security that does not satisfy the Delayed-Settlement Securities Provision is treated as a derivatives transaction under Rule 18f-4. The Fund may utilize the dollar roll market for extended periods of time without taking delivery of the physical securities. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in asset-backed securities.
The MBS Bond Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%.
Principal Investment Risks
By itself, the Fund is not a complete, balanced investment plan. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objectives. Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund. The following risks are considered principal and could affect the value of your investment in the Fund:
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,
10


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 MBS Bond Fund is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not work to produce the desired results.
Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities will change based on changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value.
Credit Risk. The issuers of the bonds and other debt securities held by the MBS Bond Fund may not be able to make interest or principal payments.
Prepayment Risk. Issuers of securities held by the MBS Bond Fund may be able to prepay principal due on these securities, particularly during periods of declining interest rates. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. Prepayment risk is a major risk of mortgage-backed securities.
Extension Risk. An issuer may pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as an asset-backed or mortgage-backed security) later than expected. This may happen during a period of rising interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease.
Risks Associated with Mortgage-Backed Securities. These risks include General Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Prepayment Risk and Extension Risk (each described above). During periods of difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, such securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid.
Risks Associated with Real Estate and Regulatory Actions. Although some of the securities in the Fund are expected to either have a U.S. government sponsored entity guarantee or be AAA rated by any NRSRO, if real estate experiences a significant price decline, this could adversely affect the prices of the securities the Fund owns. In addition, any adverse regulatory action could impact the prices of the securities the Fund owns.
Liquidity Risk. Reduced liquidity in the bond markets can result from a number of events, such as limited trading activity, reductions in bond inventory, and rapid or unexpected changes in interest rates. Less liquid markets could lead to greater price volatility and limit the Fund’s ability to sell a holding at a suitable price.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve the risk of improper valuation, the risk of ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate closely with the underlying security. Losses from a derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk. When the MBS Bond Fund invests in an ETF or mutual fund, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities that the ETF or mutual fund holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs.
TBA Securities Risk. In a TBA transaction, a seller agrees to deliver a security at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. Instead, the seller agrees to accept any security
11


that meets specified terms. TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities received may have less favorable characteristics than what was anticipated when the Adviser entered into the transaction. Adviser accounts with TBA securities are also subject to counterparty risk and will be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement.
Dollar Roll Risk. Dollar rolls involve the risk that the MBS Bond Fund’s counterparty will be unable to deliver the mortgage-backed securities underlying the dollar roll at the fixed time. If the buyer files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, the buyer or its representative may ask for and receive an extension of time to decide whether to enforce the Fund’s repurchase obligation. In addition, the Fund earns interest by investing the transaction proceeds during the roll period. Dollar roll transactions may have the effect of creating leverage in the Fund’s portfolio.
Portfolio Turnover Risk. A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains, which may subject you to a higher tax liability. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transactions costs.
Risks Associated with Inflation and Deflation. Inflation risk is the risk that increasing prices throughout the economy may erode the purchasing power of an investment over time. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time — the opposite of inflation.
Government-Sponsored Entities Risk. Securities issued or guaranteed by government-sponsored entities, including GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC, may not be guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government and may only be supported by the credit of the issuing agency.
Asset-Backed Securities Risks. These risks include General Market Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Prepayment Risk and Extension Risk (each described above). Asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates.
Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the MBS Bond Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund.

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% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Fund
The High Yield (MACS) Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign high yield instruments (“junk bonds”), defined as bonds, convertible securities, forward commitments, loan participations and assignments, preferred stocks and Rule 144A securities. High yield instruments are securities rated below investment grade as defined by the Bloomberg index methodology, or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.
15


The remainder of the High Yield (MACS) Fund’s assets may be invested in investment grade instruments including bonds, debt securities, convertible securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities, and loan participations and assignments.
The average portfolio duration of the High Yield (MACS) Fund normally varies within two years (plus or minus) of the duration of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate High-Yield Index (the “Bloomberg Index”) at any point in time. The Bloomberg Index had a duration of 3.19 years as of January 31, 2024. Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries.
The High Yield (MACS) Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in derivative instruments, such as options, futures contracts or swap agreements for both bona fide hedging purposes and for speculative purposes.
From time to time, the Fund may experience significant inflows; if this occurs, the Fund may, on a temporary or interim basis, invest these new assets (potentially in an amount which may approach up to 100% of the Fund’s total net assets if new flows were extremely large relative to the Fund’s current assets) in a combination of derivative instruments and other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), until such time as the Adviser can identify and invest in appropriate high yield instruments in accordance with the Fund’s principal strategy. The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued, delayed delivery or forward commitment basis. The Fund may, without limitation, seek to obtain market exposure to the securities in which it primarily invests by entering into a series of purchase and sale contracts or by using other investment techniques (such as buy backs or dollar rolls).
In selecting investments for the High Yield (MACS) Fund, the Adviser will consider the risks and opportunities presented by the industries within the high yield universe. The Adviser evaluates the bond issuers within the selected industries and identifies those investments which the Adviser believes have favorable risk reward characteristics and match the Adviser’s investing philosophy. The Adviser evaluates various criteria such as historical and future expected financial performance, management tenure and experience, capital structure, free cash flow generation, barriers to entry, security protections, yield and relative value, and ownership structure. Investments are targeted that have individual yield premiums which appear to be favorable and are viewed by the Adviser as having a comparable or lower probability of default and/or loss risk.
Principal Investment Risks
By itself, the Fund is not a complete, balanced investment plan. The Fund cannot guarantee that it will achieve its investment objectives. Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Fund.
High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities (or “junk bonds”) entail greater risk of loss of principal because of their greater exposure to credit risk. High yield securities typically carry higher coupon rates than investment grade securities, but also are considered as speculative and may be subject to greater market price fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk of loss of income or principal including greater possibility of default and bankruptcy of the issuer of such instruments than more highly rated bonds and loans.
Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to the High Yield (MACS) Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether
16


foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to the Fund.
Credit Risk. The issuers of the bonds and other instruments held by the High Yield (MACS) Fund may not be able to make interest or principal payments.
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 High Yield (MACS) Fund is an actively managed portfolio. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not work to produce the desired results.
Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities will change based on changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value.
Liquidity Risk. Reduced liquidity in the bond markets can result from a number of events, such as limited trading activity, reductions in bond inventory, and rapid or unexpected changes in interest rates. Less liquid markets could lead to greater price volatility and limit the Fund’s ability to sell a holding at a suitable price.
Derivatives Risk. Derivatives involve the risk of improper valuation, the risk of ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate closely with the underlying security. Losses from a derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk. When the High Yield (MACS) Fund invests in an ETF or mutual fund, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s or mutual fund’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF or mutual fund generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities that the ETF or mutual fund holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs.
Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stocks may be more volatile than fixed income securities and are more correlated with the issuer’s underlying common stock than fixed income securities. Additionally, the dividend on a preferred stock may be changed or omitted by the issuer.
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
17


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.
Loan Participation and Assignment Risk. Loan participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Bank loans (i.e., loan participations and assignments), like other high yield corporate debt obligations, have a higher risk of default and may be less liquid and/or become illiquid.
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 Fund to sell these securities.
Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities are subject to the risks of both debt securities and equity securities. The values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates rise and, due to the conversion feature, tend to vary with fluctuations in the market value of the underlying common or preferred stock.
Risks Associated with Inflation and Deflation. Rising cost of living may erode the purchasing power of an investment over time. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time — the opposite of inflation.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES, RELATED RISKS AND PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
PIA BBB Bond Fund
The BBB Bond Fund has a non-fundamental policy to normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in BBB-rated bonds. The BBB-rated bonds are defined by the Bloomberg index methodology. If the Fund decides to change this policy, it will provide 60 days’ prior written notice of its decision to shareholders. The Fund considers a BBB-rated bond to be any debt instrument, other than a money market debt instrument, that has a rating of BBB as defined by the Bloomberg index methodology at the time of purchase. The Fund seeks to approximate returns of bonds rated within the BBB category by any credit rating agency currently registered with the SEC as NRSROs.
How We Invest Our Assets – First We Allocate Among Types of BBB-Rated Bonds
Bonds are represented by the industrial, utility, finance and non-corporate sectors. Non-corporate sectors include sovereign, supranational, foreign agency and foreign local government issuers. The BBB Bond Fund may invest up to 50% of its total assets in securities of foreign issuers denominated in U.S. dollars, including issuers located in emerging markets. In determining the relative investment attractiveness of the various BBB-rated bonds, the Adviser considers risk as well as yield. Usually investing in securities with a high yield involves more risk of loss than investing in securities with a low yield. The Adviser attempts to keep the Fund’s portfolio risk (or volatility) and allocations to the types of BBB-rated bonds approximately equal to that of the Bloomberg U.S. Credit Baa Bond Index over a full market cycle. A full market cycle is the time period from economic expansion to economic recession. The two principal components of risk of a BBB-rated bond are duration (a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity) and credit quality.
How We Invest Our Assets – Next We Target Portfolio Duration
In assembling the BBB Bond Fund portfolio, the Adviser first determines a target duration for the Fund. The weighted average duration of the BBB Bond Fund will generally range from four to eight years. Duration is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity. Duration takes into account a debt security’s cash flows over time, including the assumptions about the timing of how a debt security might be prepaid by the issuer or redeemed by the holder prior to its stated maturity date. In contrast, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. The following are examples of the relationship between a bond’s maturity and its duration. A 5% coupon bond having a ten-year maturity will have a duration of approximately 7.7 years. Similarly, a 5% coupon bond having a three-year maturity will have a duration of approximately 2.7 years.

How We Invest Our Assets – Finally We Select Individual Securities
After having determined the types of BBB-rated bonds in which to invest and the target duration, the Adviser looks for the most attractive yields in the various asset classes. For a number of reasons, bonds in one industry may have higher or lower yields, on a risk-adjusted basis, than bonds in another industry. The Adviser will attempt to take advantage of the yield differentials among industries.
The Adviser will sell a security as part of its overall investment decision to:
Remove an overvalued security; or
Reposition the BBB Bond Fund’s assets into a more attractive security.
21


PIA MBS Bond Fund
The MBS Bond Fund has a non-fundamental policy to normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in mortgage-backed securities, including commercial mortgaged-backed securities. If the Fund decides to change this policy, it will provide 60 days’ prior written notice of its decision to shareholders. In pursuing its objective, the Adviser attempts to provide a return that exceeds the total rate of return of the MBS Index, although there is no guarantee that the Adviser will be able to do so. The Fund considers an MBS to be any debt instrument that is collateralized by residential mortgages and has the general characteristics in terms of maturity, coupon, etc. that would make it eligible for inclusion in the MBS Index. The Fund may also enter into TBA transactions for up to 100% of its net assets. A TBA transaction is a contract for the purchase or sale of an MBS for future settlement at an agreed upon date but does not include a specified pool number and number of pools or precise amount to be delivered. The parties to a TBA contract will agree on the issuer, type of mortgage, coupon, price, paramount and settlement date, but not the specific securities included for final delivery. Most Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae pools in the MBS Index can be traded either through a TBA contract or a specified trade. The Fund may also use the dollar roll market to postpone delivery when TBA investments are made.
22


How We Invest Our Assets – First We Allocate Among Types of MBS Rated Bonds
The MBS Bond Fund invests primarily in mortgage-backed securities, including residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and those eligible to be included in the MBS Index. The first step in the investment process is to identify how to allocate the MBS Bond Fund’s assets amongst the types of mortgage-backed securities to achieve the MBS Bond Fund’s objective.
The MBS Index represents the universe of mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. The MBS Index uses non-traded “generics” to track returns. Generics reflect the characteristics and/or experience of the total universe of a coupon of MBS sector type in contrast to a specific pool or collateral group, as in a specific CMO issue. Each of the hundreds of thousands of actual mortgage pools is mapped to a generic according to its program, origination year and coupon. The Fund decides to invest in a combination of actual pools and TBA contracts to structure a portfolio with overall characteristics that approximate those of the MBS Index. In determining the relative investment attractiveness of the various MBS, the Adviser considers risk as well as yield. Generally, investing in securities with a higher yield involves more risk of loss than investing in securities with a lower yield. The Adviser attempts to keep the Fund’s portfolio risk (or volatility) and allocations to the types of MBS similar to that of the MBS Index over a full market cycle. A full market cycle is the time period from economic expansion to economic recession. The two principal components of risk of an MBS are duration (a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity) and negative convexity (a measure of the deviation of the security’s price sensitivity from that implied by its duration).
How We Invest Our Assets – Next We Target Portfolio Effective Duration
In assembling the MBS Bond Fund’s portfolio, the Adviser first determines a target effective duration for the Fund. Duration is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity. Higher duration indicates bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes. Bonds with shorter duration reduce risk associated with interest rates. Effective duration takes into account a debt security’s cash flows over time, including the possibility that a debt security might be prepaid prior to its stated maturity date resulting in cash flows to the Fund sooner than scheduled. In contrast, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. Following are examples of the relationship between a bond’s maturity and its duration. A new origination 5.5% coupon bond having a thirty-year maturity will have an effective duration of approximately 3.0 years (as of January 31, 2024). Similarly, a new origination 5.0% coupon bond having a fifteen-year maturity will have an effective duration of approximately 2.6 years (as of January 31, 2024). The effective duration of the Fund will normally be in a range of plus or minus 1.5 years of the effective duration of the MBS Index.

How We Invest Our Assets – Finally We Select Individual Securities
After having determined the types of MBS bonds in which to invest and the target duration, the Adviser looks for the most attractive yields in the various asset classes, while attempting to approximate the MBS Index coupon distribution, as well as the distribution of other characteristics. For a number of reasons, bonds in one sector of the MBS Bond Fund may have higher or lower yields, on a risk-adjusted basis, and higher or lower allocations than bonds in the equivalent sector of the MBS Index. The Adviser will attempt to take advantage of additional strategies, such as dollar rolls, the use of cash enhancing investing, and the investment of up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets in asset-backed securities.
The Adviser may sell a security as part of its overall investment decision to:
Remove an overvalued security; or
Reposition the MBS Bond Fund’s assets into a more attractive security.
23


PIA High Yield (MACS) Fund
The High Yield (MACS) Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of domestic and foreign high yield instruments (“junk bonds”), defined as bonds, convertible securities, forward commitments, loan participations and assignments, preferred stocks and Rule 144A securities. High yield instruments are securities rated below investment grade as defined by the Bloomberg index methodology, or, if unrated, determined by the Adviser to be of comparable quality. This non-fundamental policy may only be changed upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.
The remainder of the High Yield (MACS) Fund’s assets may be invested in investment grade instruments including bonds, debt securities, convertible securities and other similar instruments issued by various U.S. and non-U.S. public- or private-sector entities, and loan participations and assignments.
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in securities and instruments that are economically tied to emerging market countries. The Adviser considers a security or instrument to be economically tied to an emerging market country if the issuer of such security or instrument is domiciled in an emerging market country or has its primary operations or principal trading markets in an emerging market country.
How We Invest Our Assets
In building a high yield portfolio, the Adviser considers the risk and opportunities presented by the industries within the high yield universe. Since default rates are frequently clustered by industry, the Adviser believes this top down approach is an important component in the creation of a high yield portfolio. The Adviser evaluates the bond issuers within the selected industries and identifies those securities which the Adviser believes have favorable risk reward characteristics and match the Adviser’s investing philosophy. The Adviser evaluates various criteria such as historical and future expected financial performance, management tenure and experience, capital structure, free cash flow generation, barriers to entry, security protections, yield and relative value, and ownership structure.
The Adviser favors investments where it perceives risk and reward characteristics to be attractive versus the high yield market. Investments are targeted that have individual yield premiums which appear to be favorable and are viewed by the Adviser as having a comparable or lower probability of default and/or loss risk. The Adviser believes these investments have the most opportunity for capital appreciation as the market over time begins to recognize this pricing inefficiency.
Duration is a measure of a debt security’s price sensitivity. Duration takes into account the timing of a debt security’s cash flows over time including the possibility that a debt security might be prepaid by the issuer or redeemed by the holder prior to its stated maturity date. The longer a security’s duration, the more sensitive it will be to changes in interest rates. Similarly, a fund with a longer average portfolio duration will be more sensitive to changes in interest rates than a fund with a shorter average portfolio duration. By way of example, the price of a bond fund with an average duration of five years would be expected to fall approximately 5% if interest rates rose by one percentage point. In contrast, maturity measures only the time until final payment is due. The following are examples of the relationship between a bond’s maturity and its duration. A new origination 5.5% coupon bond having a thirty-year maturity will have an effective duration of approximately 3.0 years (as of January 31, 2024). Similarly, a new origination 5.0% coupon bond having a fifteen-year maturity will have an effective duration of approximately 2.6 years (as of January 31, 2024). The effective duration of the Fund will normally be in a range of plus or minus 1.5 years of the effective duration of the Bloomberg Index. The actual duration for the Fund is a function of the maturity and coupon of the bonds issued by the underlying companies that the Adviser wants to buy and hold.

All Funds
Temporary Defensive Investment Strategies
For temporary defensive purposes in response to adverse market, economic, political or other conditions, the Adviser may invest up to 100% of a Fund’s total assets in high-quality, short-term debt securities and money market instruments. These short-term debt securities and money market instruments include shares of other mutual funds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, bankers’ acceptances, U.S. government securities and repurchase agreements. Taking a temporary defensive position may result in the Fund not achieving its investment objectives. Furthermore, to the extent that a Fund invests in money market mutual funds for its cash position, there will be some duplication of expenses because the Fund would bear its pro rata portion of such money market funds’ management fees and operational expenses.
Portfolio Turnover
The Adviser actively trades each Fund’s portfolio. It does so to take advantage of the inefficiencies of the markets for debt securities. The MBS Bond Fund’s portfolio turnover rate may exceed 100%. (Generally speaking, a turnover rate of 100% occurs when a Fund replaces securities valued at 100% of its average portfolio value within a one-year period.) Higher portfolio turnover (100% or more) will result in a Fund incurring more transaction costs such as mark-ups or mark-downs. Payment of these transaction costs reduces total return. Higher portfolio turnover could result in the payment by a Fund’s shareholders of increased taxes on realized gains. Distributions to a Fund’s shareholders, to the extent they are short-term capital gains, will be taxed at ordinary income tax rates for Federal income tax purposes, rather than at lower capital gains tax rates.
Risks
There are a number of risks associated with the various securities in which the Funds will at times invest. These include:
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.
Management Risk. The Funds are actively managed portfolios. The Adviser’s management practices and investment strategies might not work to produce the desired results.
25


Interest Rate Risk. The value of a Fund’s investments in fixed-income securities will change based on changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these investments generally declines. Securities with greater interest rate sensitivity and longer maturities generally are subject to greater fluctuations in value. Fixed-income instruments with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them more volatile than fixed-income instruments with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Many factors can cause interest rates to rise, such as central bank monetary policies, inflation rates, general economic conditions and expectations about the foregoing. Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and a Fund’s investments. A general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of fixed income securities and instruments held by a Fund.
Credit Risk. The issuers of the bonds and other debt securities held by the Funds may not be able to make interest or principal payments. Even if these issuers are able to make interest or principal payments, they may suffer adverse changes in financial condition that would lower the credit quality of the security, leading to greater volatility in the price of the security.
Liquidity Risk. Certain fixed income securities or derivative instruments held by the Funds may be difficult (or impossible) to sell at the time and at the price the Adviser would like. As a result, a Fund may have to hold these securities or instruments longer than it would like and may forego other investment opportunities. There is the possibility that a Fund may lose money or be prevented from realizing capital gains if it cannot sell a security or instrument at a particular time and price.
Derivatives Risk. The Funds’ use of derivative instruments involves risks greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the securities in which they primarily invest. Derivatives involve the risk of improper valuation, the risk of ambiguous documentation and the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate closely with the underlying security. Derivatives are also subject to Market and Regulatory Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Counterparty Risk and Liquidity Risk. Losses from a derivative instrument may be greater than the amount invested in the derivative instrument. Certain derivatives have the potential for unlimited losses, regardless of the size of the initial investment. Also, suitable derivative transactions may not be available in all circumstances and there can be no assurance that the Funds will engage in these transactions to reduce exposure to other risks when that would be beneficial. In addition, the Funds’ use of derivatives may increase the taxes payable by shareholders.
Risks Associated with Inflation and Deflation. The rising cost of living may erode the purchasing power of an investment over time. As inflation increases, the value of the Funds’ portfolio could decline. Deflation risk is the risk that prices throughout the economy decline over time — the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer defaults more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Funds’ portfolios.
Counterparty Risk. Fund transactions involving a counterparty are subject to the risk that the counterparty or a third party will not fulfill its obligation to a Fund. Counterparty risk may arise because of the counterparty’s financial condition (i.e., financial difficulties, bankruptcy, or insolvency), market activities and developments, or other reasons, whether foreseen or not. A counterparty’s inability to fulfill its obligation may result in significant financial loss to a Fund. A Fund may be unable to recover its investment from the counterparty or may obtain a limited recovery, and/or recovery may be delayed. A Fund may be exposed to counterparty risk through its investments in debt securities and derivatives, including various types of swaps, futures, and options. The Funds intend to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Adviser believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. There is always the risk that the Adviser’s analysis of a counterparty’s creditworthiness is incorrect or may change due to market conditions. To the extent
26


that a Fund focuses its transactions with a limited number of counterparties, it will have greater exposure to the risks associated with one or more counterparties.
PIA BBB Bond Fund and PIA MBS Bond Fund
Prepayment Risk. Issuers of securities held by a Fund may be able to prepay principal due on these securities, particularly during periods of declining interest rates. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when interest rates decline, and may offer a greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. Rising interest rates may cause prepayments to occur at a slower than expected rate thereby increasing the duration of the security and making the security more sensitive to interest rate changes. When debt obligations are prepaid or when securities are called, a Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield.
PIA BBB Bond Fund and PIA High Yield (MACS) Fund
Foreign and Emerging Market Securities Risk. Foreign economies may differ from domestic companies in the same industry. Foreign companies or entities are frequently not subject to accounting and financial reporting standards applicable to U.S. companies, and there may be less information available about foreign issuers. Securities of foreign issuers are generally less liquid and more volatile than those of comparable domestic issuers. Investment in emerging markets involves risks in addition to those generally associated with investments in securities of foreign issuers, including less social, political and economic stability; smaller securities markets and lower trading volume, which may result in less liquidity and greater price volatility; national policies that may restrict an underlying fund’s investment opportunities, including restrictions on investments in issuers or industries, or expropriation or confiscation of assets or property; and less developed legal structures governing private or foreign investment.
PIA BBB Bond Fund
High Yield Securities Risk (Non-Principal Risk). The BBB Bond Fund may purchase up to 5% in non-investment grade corporate securities. Securities with ratings lower than BBB- or Baa3 are known as “high yield” securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). High yield securities provide greater income and a greater opportunity for gains than higher-rated securities, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. High yield securities typically carry higher coupon rates than investment grade bonds, but also are described as speculative and may be subject to greater market price fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk of income or principal including greater possibility of default and bankruptcy of the issuer of such instruments than more highly rated bonds.  Lower-rated bonds also are more likely to be sensitive to adverse economic or company developments and more subject to price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. The market for high yield securities is generally thinner and less active than the market for higher quality securities. This may limit the ability of the Fund to sell high yield securities at the prices at which they are being valued for purposes of calculating net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
PIA MBS Bond Fund
Risks Associated with Mortgage-Backed Securities. These risks include Market and Regulatory Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk Prepayment Risk and Extension Risk, as well as the risk that the structure of certain mortgage-backed securities may make their reaction to interest rates and other factors difficult to predict, which may cause their prices to be very volatile.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk. ETFs are typically open-end investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. When the MBS Bond Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s operating expenses, including the
27


potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it holds. Many ETFs seek to replicate a specific benchmark index. However, such ETF may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index for many reasons, including because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or the number of stocks held. Lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in an ETF being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities it holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. In addition, because of ETF expenses, compared to owning the underlying securities directly, it may be more costly to own an ETF.

If the Fund invests in shares of another mutual fund, shareholders will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses. Furthermore, investments in other mutual funds could affect the timing, amount and character of distributions to shareholders and therefore may increase the amount of taxes payable by investors in the Fund.

Risks Associated with Real Estate and Regulatory Actions. Although some of the securities in the Fund are expected to either have a U.S. government sponsored entity guarantee or be AAA rated by any NRSRO, if real estate experiences a significant price decline, this could adversely affect the prices of the securities the Fund owns. In particular, events related to the U.S. housing market in recent years had a severe negative impact on the value of some MBS and resulted in an increased risk associated with investments in these securities. Default rates on mortgages underlying many MBS increased, which resulted in depressed valuations for the investments. Liquidity has also sometimes been impaired. Also, FNMA and FHLMC, the issuers for the majority of the securities the Fund is expected to own, are subject to government supervision and regulation but these securities are not insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government. Any adverse regulatory action could impact the prices of the securities the Fund owns.
Extension Risk. An issuer may pay principal on an obligation held by the Fund (such as an asset-backed or mortgage-backed security) later than expected. This may happen during a period of rising interest rates. Under these circumstances, the value of the obligation will decrease.
TBA Securities Risk. In a TBA transaction, a seller agrees to deliver a security at a future date, but does not specify the particular security to be delivered. Instead, the seller agrees to accept any security that meets specified terms. TBA transactions involve the risk that the securities received may have less favorable characteristics than what was anticipated when the Adviser entered into the transaction. Adviser accounts with TBA securities are also subject to counterparty risk and will be exposed to changes in the value of the underlying investments during the term of the agreement.
Dollar Roll Risk. The MBS Bond Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities on a specified future date from the same party. The Fund may invest in dollar rolls in order to benefit from anticipated changes in pricing for the mortgage-backed securities during the term of the transaction, or for the purpose of creating investment leverage. The investor may assume some risk because the characteristics of the MBS delivered to the investor may be less favorable than the MBS the investor delivered to the dealer. Because the dealer is not obligated to return the identical MBS collateral that the investor has delivered, both parties usually transact the dollar roll with generic Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae MBS pools that have the same or less value than the average TBA-eligible security.
Government-Sponsored Entities Risk. Investments in U.S. government securities which may be backed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. may include U.S. Treasury bills, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, notes and bonds. These securities are guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Not all U.S. government obligations
28


are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Certain U.S. government agency securities are backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, or are supported only by the credit of the issuing agency or instrumentality (such as FNMA and FHLMC), and in some cases there may be some risk of default by the issuer. In addition, because many types of U.S. government obligations trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities.
•    Risks Associated with Asset-Backed Securities. These include Market and Regulatory Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Credit Risk, Prepayment Risk and Extension Risk. Asset-backed securities represent interests in “pools” of assets, including consumer loans or receivables held in trust. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of these securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. As a result, in a period of rising interest rates, these securities may exhibit additional volatility. These securities also are subject to risk of default on the underlying assets, particularly during a period of economic downturn.
Portfolio Turnover Risk. A high portfolio turnover rate (100% or more) has the potential to result in the realization and distribution to shareholders of higher capital gains. This may subject you to a higher tax liability. Distributions to shareholders of short-term capital gains are taxed as ordinary income under Federal tax laws. A high portfolio turnover rate also leads to higher transactions costs, which could negatively affect the Fund’s performance.
PIA High Yield (MACS) Fund
High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund purchases non-investment grade bonds, also known as “high yield securities.” Securities with ratings lower than BBB- or Baa3 are known as “high yield” securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”). High yield securities provide greater income and a greater opportunity for gains than higher-rated securities but entail greater risk of loss of principal. High yield securities typically carry higher coupon rates than investment grade bonds, but also are described as speculative and may be subject to greater market price fluctuations, less liquidity and greater risk of income or principal including greater possibility of default and bankruptcy of the issuer of such instruments than more highly rated bonds. Lower-rated bonds also are more likely to be sensitive to adverse economic or company developments and more subject to price fluctuations in response to changes in interest rates. The market for high yield securities is generally thinner and less active than the market for higher quality securities. This may limit the ability of the High Yield (MACS) Fund to sell high yield securities at the prices at which they are being valued for purposes of calculating net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
ETF and Mutual Fund Risk. ETFs are typically open-end investment companies that are bought and sold on a national securities exchange. When the High Yield (MACS) Fund invests in an ETF, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the ETF’s operating expenses, including the potential duplication of management fees. The risk of owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it holds. Many ETFs seek to replicate a specific benchmark index. However, such ETF may not fully replicate the performance of its benchmark index for many reasons, including because of the temporary unavailability of certain index securities in the secondary market or discrepancies between the ETF and the index with respect to the weighting of securities or the number of stocks held. Lack of liquidity in an ETF could result in an ETF being more volatile than the underlying portfolio of securities it holds. The Fund also will incur brokerage costs when it purchases ETFs. In addition, because of ETF expenses, compared to owning the underlying securities directly, it may be more costly to own an ETF.
If the Fund invests in shares of another mutual fund, shareholders will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying mutual funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses. Furthermore, investments in other mutual funds could affect the timing,
29


amount and character of distributions to shareholders and therefore may increase the amount of taxes payable by investors in the Fund.
Preferred Stock Risk. The risk that the value of preferred stocks, may decline due to general market conditions which are not specifically related to a particular company or to factors affecting a particular industry or industries. Preferred stocks may be more volatile than fixed income securities and are more correlated with the issuer’s underlying common stock than fixed income securities. While most preferred stocks pay a dividend, the High Yield (MACS) Fund may purchase preferred stock where the issuer has omitted, or is in danger of omitting, payment of its dividend.
Loan Participation and Assignment Risk. Loan participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Bank loans (i.e., loan participations and assignments), like other high yield corporate debt obligations, have a higher risk of default and may be less liquid and/or become illiquid. The High Yield (MACS) Fund, as a participant in a loan, has no direct claim on the loan and would be a creditor of the lender, and not the borrower, in the event of a borrower’s insolvency or default.
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.
Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible securities are debt securities that may be converted at either a stated price or stated rate into shares of common or preferred stock, and so are subject to the risks of investments in both debt securities and equity securities. Due to the conversion feature, convertible debt securities generally yield less than non-convertible securities of similar credit quality and maturity. The values of convertible securities tend to decline as interest rates rise. In addition, because of the conversion feature, the market values of convertible securities tend to vary with fluctuations in the market values of the underlying preferred and common stocks. The High Yield (MACS) Fund’s investment in convertible securities may at times include securities that have a mandatory conversion feature, pursuant to which the securities convert automatically into stock at a specified date and conversion ratio, or that are convertible at the option of the issuer. When conversion is not at the option of the holder, the Fund may be required to convert the security into the underlying stock even at times when the value of the underlying common stock has declined substantially or it would otherwise be disadvantageous to do so.
PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS INFORMATION
A complete description of the Funds’ policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Funds’ portfolio holdings is available in the Funds’ Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”) and on the Funds’ website at www.pacificincome.com/mutual-funds.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
Investment Adviser
Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “PIA”), located at 2321 Rosecrans Avenue, Suite 1260, El Segundo, California 90245, is the investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser has been in business since 1987. As the investment adviser to the Funds, the Adviser manages the investment portfolios for the Funds. It makes the decisions as to which securities to buy and which securities to sell. The Funds do not pay the Adviser an annual investment management fee. However, investors in the Funds will be charged management fees by the Adviser and persons other than the Adviser, as described below. Only the following purchasers are eligible to invest in, or own the Funds (“Eligible Investors”): (a) investment advisory clients of the Adviser, (b) participants in “wrap-fee” programs sponsored by investment advisers unaffiliated with the Funds or the Adviser (“Sponsors”) that are advised by the Adviser, (c) clients of
30


affiliated companies of the Adviser and (d) employees of the Adviser. For the purposes of the MBS Bond Fund, the term Eligible Investors shall include any other individual as permitted by the Adviser. For permission, please call (310) 255-4466. If no answer, please leave a message and call back number.
The Adviser receives an account-level investment management fee from its clients (as stated in clients’ investment management agreements) calculated as a percentage of client assets, which includes assets invested in the Funds. Certain clients (including ERISA plans) invested in the Funds will pay fees associated with the Funds’ operations, but will not pay additional investment management fees to PIA on those assets invested in the Fund. In addition, for clients invested in the Funds, PIA may choose to offset certain client fees, including but not limited to account-level fees, by the amount of the management fees received from the Funds. Clients of the Adviser should read carefully their investment advisory agreement with the Adviser, which will disclose the investment management fee charged by the Adviser. Participants in “wrap-fee” programs should read carefully the “wrap-fee” brochure for these programs provided by the Sponsor. The brochure is required to include information about the fees charged by the Sponsor and the fees paid by the Sponsor to the Adviser. Investors pay no additional fees or expenses to purchase shares of the Funds.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Trust’s Board of Trustees’ (the “Board’s”) approval of the Funds’ investment advisory agreement is available in the Funds’ most recent semi-annual reports to shareholders.

MBS Bond Fund 0.28  %
High Yield (MACS) Fund 0.25  %
FUNDS’ SHARE PRICE
The price at which investors purchase and redeem shares of the Funds is called its NAV per share. The Funds normally calculate their NAV per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day the NYSE is open for trading. Shares of the Funds will not be priced and are not available for purchase when the NYSE and/or Federal Reserve are closed, including the following days: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday/Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The Funds calculate their NAVs based on the market prices or official closing price of the securities (other than money market instruments) they hold. Corporate bonds, including listed issues, are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and formula-based techniques. The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer. U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner
32


similar to U.S. government securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include to-be-announced (“TBAs”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are generally valued using dealer quotations. Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share. Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices.
Purchase and redemption requests are priced at the next NAV per share calculated after receipt of such requests. The NAV is the value of a Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, minus all expenses and liabilities (assets – liabilities = NAV). NAV per share is determined by dividing NAV by the number of shares outstanding (NAV/ # of shares = NAV per share). The NAV takes into account the expenses and fees of a Fund, including management and administration fees, which are accrued daily.
In calculating the NAV, portfolio securities are valued using current market values or official closing prices, if available. Each security owned by a Fund that is listed on a securities exchange is valued at its last sale price on that exchange on the date as of which assets are valued. Where the security is listed on more than one exchange, a Fund will use the price of the exchange that it generally considers 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 adopted 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 Fund is accurately priced. The Board has designated the Adviser as its “valuation designee” under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to its oversight.
Trading in Foreign Securities
In the case of foreign securities, the occurrence of certain events after the close of foreign markets, but prior to the time a Fund’s NAV per share is calculated (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. or other markets) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of foreign securities when foreign markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, a Fund will value foreign securities at fair value, taking into account such events, in calculating the NAV per share. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek to profit by estimating a Fund’s NAV per share in advance of the time the NAV per share is calculated. The Adviser anticipates that each Fund’s portfolio holdings will be fair valued when market quotations for those holdings are considered unreliable.
Once received in good order, the Funds will process purchase and redemption orders at the NAV per share next determined. Good order means that your purchase request includes (1) the name of the Fund, (2) the dollar amount of shares to be purchased, (3) your account application, and (4) a check payable to the applicable Fund.
PURCHASING SHARES
Shares of the Funds are only offered to Eligible Investors either directly by the Adviser or through special arrangements entered into on behalf of the Funds with certain broker-dealers, financial institutions or other service providers (“Servicing Agents”). These Servicing Agents will become shareholders of record of the Funds and have established procedures that investors must follow in purchasing shares. Such procedures need not be identical among Servicing Agents. These procedures should be carefully reviewed by investors.
Servicing Agents may charge fees to their customers for the services they provide them. Also, the Funds and/or the Adviser may pay fees to Servicing Agents to compensate them for the services the Servicing Agents provide to their customers. Further, the Funds may authorize Servicing Agents to receive purchase
33


orders on behalf of the Funds and to designate other Servicing Agents to receive purchase orders on the Funds’ behalf. This means that the Funds will process the purchase order at the NAV per share that is determined following the Servicing Agent’s (or its designee’s) acceptance of the purchase order. A Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when a Servicing Agent or, if applicable, a Servicing Agent’s authorized designee, receives the order.
Investments in the Funds are subject to a $1,000 minimum initial investment, and subsequent investments are subject to a $50 minimum investment (other than subsequent investments pursuant to dividend reinvestment). Purchase orders placed with a Servicing Agent prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE will be priced at the applicable NAV per share determined that day.
If you are purchasing shares through a Servicing Agent, it is the responsibility of the Servicing Agent to place your order with the Funds on a timely basis. If the Servicing Agent does not, or if it does not pay the purchase price to the Funds within the period specified in its agreement with the Funds, it may be held liable for any resulting fees or losses.
In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Funds’ transfer agent, U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (the “Transfer Agent”) will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Trust’s Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the account application, you must 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 also supply the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. Please contact the Transfer Agent at 1‑800‑251‑1970, if you need additional assistance when completing your account application.
If the Transfer Agent does not have a reasonable belief of the identity of an investor, the account 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 Fund reserves the right to redeem your account at the current day’s net asset value. Accounts may only be opened by persons with a valid social security number or tax identification number and permanent U.S. street address.
Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. The Adviser generally does 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.
All purchase checks 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.
In addition to cash purchases, Fund shares may be purchased by tendering payment in-kind in the form of bonds or other securities. Any securities used to buy Fund shares must be readily marketable, their acquisition consistent with a Fund’s objective and otherwise acceptable to the Adviser and the Board.
The Transfer Agent will charge a $25 fee against a shareholder’s account, in addition to any loss sustained by the Funds, for any payment that is returned. It is the policy of the Funds not to accept applications under certain circumstances or in amounts considered disadvantageous to shareholders. The Funds reserve the right to reject any application.

Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time to be eligible for same day pricing. Neither the Funds nor U.S. Bank N.A. is responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system or from incomplete wiring instructions.
Telephone Purchase
Investors may purchase additional shares of the Funds by calling 1-800-251-1970. If you have accepted telephone options on your account application, and your account has been open for at least seven business days, telephone orders will be accepted via electronic funds transfer from your bank account through the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) network. You must have submitted a voided check to have banking information established on your account prior to making a purchase. Each telephone purchase must be in the amount of $50 or more. There is a maximum purchase amount of $50,000 per day per Fund through the ACH network. Your shares will be purchased at the NAV per share calculated on the day your order is placed, provided that your order is received prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. For security reasons, requests by telephone may be recorded. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be cancelled or modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time).
Automatic Investment Plan
Once your account has been opened with the initial minimum investment, you may make additional purchases of shares at regular intervals through the automatic investment plan (“AIP”). The AIP provides a convenient method to have monies deducted from your bank account, for investment into the Funds, on a monthly or quarterly basis. To begin participating in the AIP, please complete the Automatic Investment Plan section on the account application or call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-251-1970 for instructions.
Automatic purchases of Fund shares can be made for as little as $50 per purchase.
You may elect to have your automatic purchase made on any day of the month. If these dates fall on a weekend or legal holiday, purchases will be made on the following business day.
The Funds do not currently charge a fee for an AIP, however, the Funds may charge a $25 fee if the automatic investment cannot be made for any reason.
If you redeem an account with an AIP to a zero balance, the AIP will be discontinued.
In order to participate in the AIP your bank must be a member of the ACH network.
Any change or termination of the AIP should be provided to the Transfer Agent at least five calendar days prior to the next automatic investment date.
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 1-800-251-1970 to request individual copies of documents; if your shares are held through a financial intermediary, please contact them directly. 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.

REDEEMING SHARES
How to Redeem (Sell) Shares
You or your Servicing Agent have the right to redeem all or any portion of your shares of the Funds at their NAV per share on each day the NYSE is open for trading. All redemption requests must be made directly or through the Servicing Agent from whom you purchased your shares. The Servicing Agents have established procedures that investors must follow in selling (redeeming) shares. Such procedures need not be identical among Servicing Agents. These procedures should be carefully reviewed by investors. As discussed below, you may receive proceeds of your sale in a check, ACH, or federal wire transfer. The Funds typically expect that they will take one to three days following the receipt of your redemption request in good order, to pay out redemption proceeds. “Good order” means your redemption request includes: (1) the name of the Fund, (2) the number of shares or dollar amount to be redeemed, (3) the account number and (4) signatures by all of the shareholders whose names appear on the account registration. However, while not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven days if sending proceeds earlier could adversely affect the Funds.
The Funds typically expect that they will hold 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 Funds. 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 “Redemption ‘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 in unusual market conditions. The Funds have in place lines of credit that may be used to meet redemption requests during unusual market conditions.
Redemption requests placed with a Servicing Agent prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE will be priced at the applicable NAV per share determined that day. If a Servicing Agent receives the redemption request after the close of regular trading on the NYSE, or on a holiday, weekend or a day the NYSE is closed, then the Servicing Agent will process the redemption on the next business day.
If any portion of the shares to be redeemed represents an investment made recently by check or electronic funds transfer through the ACH network, the Funds may delay the payment of redemption proceeds until the Transfer Agent is reasonably satisfied that the payment has been collected. This may take up to 15 calendar days from the purchase date. This delay will not apply if you purchased your shares via wire payment.
Signature Guarantees – Financial Transactions
A signature guarantee of each owner, from either a Medallion program member or non-Medallion program member, is required to redeem shares in the following situations:
When ownership is being changed on your account;
When redemption proceeds are payable or sent to any person, address or bank account not on record;
When a redemption request is received by the Transfer Agent and the account address has changed within the last 15 calendar days;
For all redemptions in excess of $50,000 from any shareholder account.
37


Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain services on an account, may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.
In addition to the situations described above, the Fund and/or the Transfer Agent may require a signature guarantee or signature validation program stamp in other instances based on the facts and circumstances. Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program. A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.

Other Redemption Considerations
When redeeming shares of the Funds, shareholders should consider the following:
1.The redemption may result in a taxable gain.
2.Shareholders who redeem shares held in an IRA must indicate on their written redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income taxes. If not, these redemptions will be subject to federal income tax withholding.
3.There are certain times when a shareholder may be unable to sell the Fund shares or receive proceeds. 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 the Funds of securities owned by them is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Funds fairly to determine the value of their net assets; or (3) for such other periods as the SEC may permit for the protection of the Funds’ shareholders.
4.If your account balance falls below $500 because you redeem shares, you may be given 60 days to make additional investments so that your account balance is $500 or more. If you do not, the Funds may close your account and mail the redemption proceeds to you.
Redemption “In-Kind”
The Funds may pay redemption requests “in kind.” It is not expected that the Funds would do so except during unusual market conditions. This means that the Funds will pay redemption requests entirely or partially with securities rather than with cash. 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 the Funds pay 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. A redemption, whether in cash or in-kind is a taxable event to you.

How to Redeem (Sell) Shares by Telephone
Redemptions by telephone. If you have accepted telephone options on the account application and your Fund shares are held directly in your name, you may redeem shares up to $50,000 directly on any business day the NYSE is open by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-800-251-1970 before the close of trading on the NYSE. This is generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Redemption proceeds will be mailed or wired, at your direction, on the next business day to the bank account you designated. Redemption proceeds may also be sent to your designated bank account via electronic funds transfer through the ACH network. To utilize the ACH network, you must have bank information on your account. There is no charge for this service. Proceeds are normally credited within three business days. The minimum amount that may be wired is $1,000. Wire charges will be deducted from redemption proceeds for complete redemptions. In the case of a partial redemption, the $15 fee will be deducted from the remaining account balance.
By using telephone redemption privileges, you authorize the Funds and their Transfer Agent to act upon the instruction of any person who makes the telephone call to redeem shares from your account and transfer the proceeds to the bank account designated in the account application. If an account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Fund will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. The Funds and the Transfer Agent will use procedures to confirm that redemption instructions received by telephone are genuine, including recording of telephone instructions and requiring a form of personal identification before acting on these instructions. If these normal identification procedures are followed, neither the Funds nor the Transfer Agent will be liable for any loss, liability, or cost that results from acting upon instructions of a person believed to be a shareholder with respect to the telephone redemption privilege. The Funds may change, modify, or terminate these privileges at any time upon at least 60 days’ notice to shareholders.
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.
You may request telephone redemption privileges after your account is opened; however, the authorization form may require a separate signature guarantee, signature validation or other acceptable form of signature authentication from a financial institution. Once a telephone transaction request has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified after the close or regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time).
Systematic Withdrawal Plan
As another convenience, you may redeem your Fund shares through the Systematic Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”). If you elect this method of redemption, the applicable Fund will send you a check in a minimum amount of $100. You may choose to receive a check on any day of the month you designate on the account application. If the day you designate falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the distribution will take place on the following business day. You may alternatively choose to receive a check each calendar quarter or annually. The Fund can also send payment via electronic funds transfer through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, directly to your bank account. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account. Your Fund account must have a value of at least $10,000 in order to participate in the SWP. The SWP may be terminated at any time by the Funds. You may also elect to change or terminate your participation in the SWP at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent at least five calendar days prior to the effective date of the next withdrawal by calling 1-800-251-1970 or writing to:
39


PIA BBB Bond Fund,
PIA MBS Bond Fund or
PIA High Yield MACS Fund
c/o U.S. Bank Global Fund Services
P.O. Box 701
Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-0701
A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of shares and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted.
Exchange Privilege
As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of one PIA Fund for shares of another PIA Fund in the Trust, including those PIA Funds offered in separate prospectuses, without incurring any additional sales charges. However, you should note the following:
Exchanges may only be made between like shares classes;
You may only exchange between accounts that are registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number;
Before exchanging into another PIA Fund, read a description of the fund in its separate prospectus or in this Prospectus. A copy of the prospectus for each PIA Fund may be obtained by calling 1-800-251-1970;
Exchanges 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 length of time shares are held, subject to certain limitations on the deductibility of losses;
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;
If you have established telephone exchange privileges on your account, you can make a telephone request to exchange your shares for an additional $5 fee; and
The minimum exchange amount between existing accounts invested in the PIA Funds is the minimum subsequent investment amount for your share class and your type of account.
You may make exchanges of your shares between the PIA Funds by telephone, in writing or through your broker or other financial intermediary.
Adviser’s Ability to Liquidate
The Funds may only be purchased by Eligible Investors (defined herein). Should a shareholder of a Fund, who is also a client of the Adviser, choose to terminate their relationship with the Adviser as investment manager, the Adviser reserves the right to liquidate the shareholder’s Fund holdings upon or after termination. Should this occur, the Adviser will send a negative assent letter to the shareholder informing the shareholder that the Adviser intends to liquidate their position within a specified amount of time.
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
40


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 1-800-251-1970 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.
Tools To Combat Frequent Transactions
The Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of the Funds’ shares by Fund shareholders. 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 discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm the Funds’ performance. The Funds take steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities. These steps include monitoring trading practices 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 ability in a manner that is consistent with shareholder interests.
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, the Funds believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, they may, in their 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 limited because they do not have simultaneous access to the underlying shareholder account information.
In compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act, 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 market timing policies.
Fair Value Pricing
The Funds employ fair value pricing selectively to ensure greater accuracy in a Fund’s 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, if applicable, does not provide a valuation (or provides a valuation that in the judgment of the Adviser to the Funds does not represent the
41


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 a Fund determines its NAV per share. The Board has designated the Adviser as its “valuation designee” under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, subject to its oversight.

Fair value pricing may be applied to non-U.S. securities. The trading hours for most non-U.S. securities end prior to the close of the NYSE, the time that a Fund’s NAV is calculated. The occurrence of certain events after the close of non-U.S. markets, but prior to the close of the NYSE (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. market) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of non-U.S. securities when non-U.S. markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, a Fund may value non-U.S. securities at fair value, taking into account such events, when it calculates its NAV. Other types of securities that a Fund may hold for which fair value pricing might be required include, but are not limited to: (a) investments which are frequently traded and/or the market price of which the Adviser believes may be stale; (b) illiquid securities, including “restricted” securities and private placements for which there is no public market; (c) securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; (d) securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; and (e) fixed-income securities that have gone into default and for which there is not a current market value quotation.

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, 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 Funds have policies and procedures in place for the monitoring of payments to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries for the following non-distribution activities: sub-transfer agent, administrative, and other shareholder servicing services.
The Adviser, out if 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 service fees paid by the Funds. 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 Fund and the dollar amount of the shares sold.
42


DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income monthly and substantially all of their capital gains annually. A Fund may make an additional payment of dividends or distributions if it deems it desirable at other times during any year. You have the following distribution options:
Automatic Reinvestment Option – Both dividend and capital gains distributions will be reinvested in additional Fund shares.
All Cash Option – Both dividend and capital gains distributions will be paid in cash.
Select Reinvestment or Cash Option for either dividend and/or capital gains distributions.
You may make this election on the account application. You may change your election by writing to the Transfer Agent or by calling 1-800-251-1970 five days prior to the record date. Your distributions will be taxed in the same manner whether you reinvest them in additional Fund shares or receive your dividends and capital gain distributions in cash.
If you elect to receive dividends and capital gains paid in cash, and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding for six months, the Funds reserve the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account, at a Fund’s current NAV per share, and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
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 regulated investment companies, the Funds will not be subject to federal income tax if they distribute their income as required by the tax law and satisfy certain other requirements that are described in the SAI.
The Funds generally intend to operate in a manner such that they will not be liable for Federal income taxes.
Generally, you will be taxed on a Fund’s distributions, regardless of whether you reinvest them or receive them in cash. Dividends are taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gains, depending on the source of such income to the Fund and the holding period of the Fund for its securities and of you for your Fund shares. Since the Funds do not expect to invest in dividend-paying corporate stocks, dividends from the Funds will not be eligible for the lower tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. The rate you pay on capital gain distributions will depend on how long the Fund held the securities that generated the gains, not on how long you owned your Fund shares. An additional federal tax of 3.8% applies to net investment income (which generally will include dividends and capital gains from an investment in a Fund) to non-corporate shareholders with adjusted gross incomes of more than $200,000 for single filers and $250,000 for joint filers. Although distributions generally are 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 the following January are taxable as if received the prior December.
Sale of your Fund shares is a taxable event for you. You will recognize gain or loss on such transactions equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of your net sales proceeds and your tax basis in the Fund shares. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transaction and your investment in the Fund. The Code limits the deductibility of capital losses in certain circumstances.
Shareholders should be aware that the Funds may make taxable distributions of income and capital gains even when share values have declined.
43


By law, a Fund 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 instructs the Fund to do so.
Additional information concerning taxation of the Funds and their shareholders is contained in the SAI. Investors should consult their own tax advisers regarding the consequences to them of an investment in the Funds. Tax consequences are not the primary consideration of the Funds in making investment decisions.
