Example

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

 

     1 Year      3 Years      5 Years      10 Years  

Institutional Shares

   $  113       $  353       $ 612       $  1,352   

Class A Shares

   $ 508       $ 790       $ 1,092       $ 1,949   

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 26% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy

The Advisor invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s assets in mortgage-related securities, including mortgage Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMOs”) (whose income is generated by payments of principal and interest on pools of mortgage loans and mortgage REITs). The Advisor especially focuses on securities which it expects to be less susceptible to prepayment of principal. The Advisor endeavors to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio life for the Fund of between two and ten years. The Fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in equity REITs. The Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of expenses incurred by REITs in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses incurred directly by the Fund.

In making its investment decisions, the Advisor considers various economic factors, Federal Reserve policy, interest rate trends and spreads between different types of fixed income securities.

REITs are pooled investment vehicles which invest primarily in income producing real estate or real estate related loans or interest. REITs are generally classified as equity REITs, mortgage REITs or a combination of equity and mortgage REITs.

Because the Fund refers to “mortgage” in its name, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in mortgage-related securities, and the Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any changes in this policy.

Principal Investment Risks

All mutual funds take investment risks. Therefore, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. 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. The primary factors that may reduce the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) and returns include:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. When the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class (such as real estate-related or commodities-related securities), or securities of issuers within a particular business sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if a security’s credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Derivative Contracts and Hybrid Instruments Risks. Derivatives contracts and hybrid instruments 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.

Extension Risk. When interest rates rise, anticipated prepayments may occur at a slower than expected rate, thus effectively extending the maturity of mortgage-backed securities. Prices of longer-term securities generally fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates than the prices of shorter-term securities.

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 Company Risk. Because the Fund may invest in underlying funds that have their own fees and expenses in addition to those charged directly by the Fund, the Fund may pay higher expenses than a Fund that invests directly in equity or fixed income securities.

Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, particularly those with complex or highly variable terms, such as CMOs, entail greater prepayment and liquidity risks than other fixed-income securities. As a result, their prices may be more volatile and their trading market may be more limited than that of other fixed income securities.

Prepayment Risk. When homeowners prepay their mortgages in response to lower interest rates, the Fund will be required to reinvest the proceeds at the lower interest rates available. Also, when interest rates fall, the price of mortgage -backed securities may not rise as quickly as the prices of other fixed-income securities.

Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund’s investment in REITs is subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

(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 BMBSI is composed of all fixed securities mortgage pools by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, including GNMA Graduated Payment Mortgages. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an Index.
