(1)    

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse certain operating expenses of the Fund to the extent necessary in order to limit the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (after the fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, and exclusive of brokerage costs, interest, taxes and dividends, and extraordinary expenses) to not more than 1.01% and 1.26% of the Institutional Shares and Class A Shares daily net assets, respectively, through April 30, 2015. This arrangement may only be terminated prior to this date with the agreement of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under certain conditions, the Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed under these arrangements for a period of three years following the fiscal year in which such reimbursement occurred.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example shows the operating expenses you would incur as a shareholder if you invested $10,000 in the Fund over the time periods shown and you redeem all your shares at the end of those periods. The example assumes that the average annual return was 5%, operating expenses remained the same, and expenses were capped for one year in each period.

 

Not A Deposit * Not Insured By Any Government Agency * Not FDIC Insured * No Bank Guarantee * May Lose Value


Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on the above assumptions, your costs would be:

 

     1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  

Institutional Shares

   $ 103       $ 373       $ 663       $ 1,490   

Class A Shares

   $ 597       $ 904       $ 1,233       $ 2,161   

Portfolio Turnover

The 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 9% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

Under normal conditions, the Fund pursues its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, which include put and call options on individual securities and stock indices. The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its total assets in companies organized in the U.S. and included in the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500 Companies”) or the S&P 100 Index (“S&P 100 Companies”). As of March 28, 2013, the market capitalization range for the companies included in the S&P 500 Index was approximately $1.8 million to $415.7 million, with a median of $14.1 million, while the market capitalization range for the companies included in the S&P 100 Index as of March 28, 2013, was approximately $19.1 million to $415.7 million, with a median of $64.4 million.

Generally, the portfolio manager will invest the Fund’s portfolio in the common stocks of the larger companies comprising each sector of the S&P 500 Index or the S&P 100 Index (each, an “Index” and together, the “Indices”), consistent with the sector weightings of the applicable Index. Among the many factors that the portfolio manager considers in determining whether to base portfolio composition upon the S&P 500 or S&P 100 are obtaining desirable diversification while considering the transaction costs inherent in owning more stocks from the broader Index, volatility of options on stocks of the respective indices, and ease of exercising options. Whether the Fund’s portfolio corresponds to the composition of the S&P 500 Index or the S&P 100 Index will depend upon the availability of put options on those indices necessary to effectively hedge the Fund’s portfolio against potential market declines. The portfolio manager has discretion to change the composition of the Fund’s portfolio without prior notice to align with one Index in lieu of the other.

The Fund will also purchase put options on the Indices and write call options on individual securities held in its portfolio. All options written or purchased by the Fund shall trade on a U.S. stock exchange. Put options on the applicable Index will be limited to less than 10% (at cost) of the Fund’s total assets. The put options will be used to hedge the Fund’s portfolio to the extent the value of the Fund’s common stock positions decline. The Fund may also write covered call options on common stocks held in the Fund’s portfolio to generate a portion of the income necessary to purchase put options on the applicable Index. During the term of a covered call option, the Fund will own the underlying common stock which may be sold pursuant to the option.

The Fund also expects to hold approximately 4-5% of assets in cash or cash equivalents. At the portfolio manager’s discretion, the Fund’s cash may be held in short term bonds or money market instruments.

The Fund actively trades its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective. The Advisor may in the future consider converting the Fund’s structure to an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). Upon such conversion, the applicable investment strategies may be adjusted, as well as the fees and expense structure. Prior to any conversion, shareholders will receive appropriate notice, as may be required under applicable federal securities laws and regulations.

Because the Fund contains “equity” in its name, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities and will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any changes in this investment policy.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. An investment in the Fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include:

Active Trading Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance) and could increase the amount of taxes you owe by generating short-term gains, which may be taxed at a higher rate.

Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. If the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class, or securities of issuers within a particular market sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk. Performance will generally depend on the performance of the class, sector or region, which may differ in direction and degree from that of the overall U.S. stock or bond markets. In addition, financial, economic, business and political developments affecting the class, sector or region may have a greater effect on the Fund.


Counterparty Risk. The counterparty to an over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives contract, the borrower of the Fund’s securities under a securities lending contract or a guarantor of a fixed income security held by the Fund may be unable or unwilling to honor its obligations under the contract or guarantee, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Derivative Contracts Risk. A derivative is an instrument whose value is derived from an underlying contract, index or security, or any combination thereof, including options (e.g. puts and calls). The Fund’s investment in derivatives will come primarily through writing put and call options and purchasing put option on the Indices. Derivatives contracts involve risks different from, and possibly greater than, traditional investments, including valuation and tax issues, increased potential for losses and/or costs to the Fund, and interest rate, credit, currency, liquidity and leverage risks. For additional information regarding these risks, see the “Glossary of Investment Risks.”

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Exchange-Traded Funds Risk. Like a conventional mutual fund, the value of an ETF can fluctuate based on the prices of the securities owned by the ETF, and ETFs are also subject to the following additional risks: (i) the ETF’s market price may be less than its net asset value; (ii) an active market for the ETF may not develop; and (iii) market trading in the ETF may be halted under certain circumstances.

Hedging Risk. When a derivative contract is used as a hedge against an opposite position that the Fund holds, any loss on an underlying security (or position) should be substantially offset by gains on the hedged investment, and vice versa. Because it may not always be possible to perfectly offset one position with another, there is no assurance that the Fund’s hedging transactions will be effective.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which the Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Leverage Risk. Derivatives and other transactions that give rise to leverage may cause the Fund’s performance to be more volatile than if the Fund had not been leveraged. Leveraging also may require that the Fund liquidate securities when it may not be advantageous to do so to satisfy its obligations or to meet segregation requirements.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Management Risk. The risk that a strategy used by the Fund’s portfolio manager may fail to produce the intended result. This includes the risk that changes in the value of a hedging instrument will not match those of the asset being hedged.

(1)    

After tax returns are calculated using a standard set of assumptions. The stated returns assume the highest historical federal income and capital gains tax rates. Returns after taxes on distributions assumes a continued investment in the Fund and show the effect of taxes on Fund distributions. Returns after taxes on distributions and sales of Fund Shares assumes all Shares were redeemed at the end of each measurement period, and shows the effect of any taxable gain (or offsetting loss) on redemption, as well as the effects of taxes on Fund distributions. These after tax returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable state and local taxes. After tax returns are not relevant to investors holding shares through tax-deferred programs, such as IRA or 401(k) plans.

(2)    

The S&P 100 is not adjusted to reflect sales charges, expenses, or other fees that the Securities and Exchange Commission requires to be reflected in the Fund’s performance. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cashflows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index .
