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:

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 98% of the average value of its portfolio.
 
Principal Investment Strategy.   The Fund normally invests in equity securities, such as common stock, preferred stock and convertible securities, of any size market capitalization, and investment grade and high yield (“junk bonds”) fixed income securities.  Hotchkis & Wiley Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) selects companies that it believes have strong capital appreciation potential. The Fund may invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities.
 
The Fund seeks to invest in stocks whose future prospects are misunderstood or not fully recognized by the market.  The Fund employs a fundamental value investing approach which seeks to exploit market inefficiencies created by irrational investor behavior. To identify these investment opportunities, the Fund employs a disciplined, bottom-up investment process highlighted by rigorous, internally-generated fundamental research.  With the exception of diversification guidelines, the Fund does not employ predetermined rules for sales; rather, the Fund evaluates each sell candidate based on the candidate’s specific risk and return characteristics which include: 1) relative valuation; 2) fundamental operating trends; 3) deterioration of fundamentals; and 4) diversification guidelines.  The Advisor also may engage in active and frequent trading of the Fund’s securities in order to achieve its investment objectives and principal investment strategies.
 
Principal Investment Risks.   As with any mutual fund, the value of the Fund’s investments, and therefore the value of its shares, may go down and you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.  Many factors can affect those values.  The factors that are most likely to have a material effect on the Fund’s portfolio as a whole are called “principal risks.”  The principal risks of investing in the Fund are described in this section.

Market Risk.   Market risk is the risk that the market price of securities owned by the Fund may go down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets.
 
Equity Securities Risk.   Equity securities, both common and preferred stocks, have greater price volatility than fixed income securities.  The market price of equity securities owned by the Fund may go down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.  Equity securities may decline in value due to factors affecting equity securities markets generally or particular industries represented by those markets.
 
Capitalization Risk.   Large cap companies as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the Fund to underperform investments that focus on small or mid cap companies.  Investment in small and mid cap companies may involve more risk than investing in larger, more established companies. Small and mid cap companies may have limited product lines or markets. They may be less financially secure than larger, more established companies. They may depend on a small number of key personnel. Should a product fail, or if management changes, or if there are other adverse developments, the Fund’s investment in a small or mid cap company may lose substantial value.
 
Fixed Income Securities Risk.   Fixed income securities, such as bonds, involve credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the borrower will not make timely payments of principal and interest. The degree of credit risk depends on the issuer’s financial condition and on the terms of the securities. Fixed income securities are also subject to interest rate risk.
 
Management Risk.   The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed investment portfolio. The Advisor invests in securities that may not necessarily be included in the Fund’s benchmark.  To the extent that the Advisor invests the Fund’s assets in securities that are not in the Fund’s benchmark index, there is a greater risk that the Fund’s performance will deviate from that of the benchmark.  The Advisor does not seek to replicate the performance of any index.
 
Style Risk.   The Advisor follows an investing style that favors value investments.  Historically, value investments have performed best during periods of economic recovery.  Therefore, the value investing style may over time go in and out of favor.  At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles.  Investors should be prepared to tolerate volatility in Fund returns.
 
Security Selection Risk.   The Advisor may misjudge the risk and/or return potential of a security.  This misjudgment can result in a loss or a significant deviation relative to its benchmark.
 
Non-Diversification Risk.   The Fund is non-diversified under federal securities laws, meaning the Fund can invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer. Investing in a non-diversified mutual fund involves greater risk than investing in a diversified fund because a loss resulting from the decline in the value of one security may represent a greater portion of the total assets of a non-diversified fund. The Fund’s share values could fluctuate more than those of funds holding more securities in their portfolios.
 
Issuer Risk.   The value of a security may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer, such as management performance, financial leverage and reduced demand for the issuer’s goods or services.
 
Foreign (Non-U.S.) Investment Risk.   The Fund may invest in foreign (non-U.S.) securities and may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than a fund that invests exclusively in securities of U.S. companies. The securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Additionally, issuers of foreign securities are usually not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. To the extent that the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in a specific geographic region, the Fund will generally have more exposure to regional economic risks associated with foreign investments.
 
Interest Rate Risk.   Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities held by a Fund is likely to decrease. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations.
 
Credit Risk.   The Fund could lose money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security, or the counterparty to a derivatives contract, repurchase agreement or a loan of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations.
 
High Yield Risk.   The Fund’s investments in high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds”) may subject the Fund to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk than funds that do not invest in such securities. While offering a greater potential opportunity for capital appreciation and higher yields, high yield securities typically entail greater potential price volatility and may be less liquid than higher-rated securities. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the market for these securities and reduce the Fund’s ability to sell these securities (liquidity risk). If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the Fund may lose its entire investment.
 
Currency Risk.   If the Fund invests directly in foreign (non-U.S.) currencies or in securities that trade in, and receive revenues in, foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, or in derivatives that provide exposure to foreign (non-U.S.) currencies, it will be subject to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar, or, in the case of hedging positions, that the U.S. dollar will decline in value relative to the currency being hedged. As a result, the Fund’s investments in foreign currency-denominated securities may reduce the returns of the Fund.
 
Credit Ratings and Unrated Securities Risks. Rating agencies are private services that provide ratings of the credit quality of fixed income securities, including convertible securities. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates.  The Fund may purchase unrated securities (which are not rated by a rating agency and may be less liquid) if its portfolio managers determine that the security is of comparable quality to a rated security that the Fund may purchase.  To the extent that the Fund invests in high yield and/or unrated securities, the Fund’s success in achieving its investment objective may depend more heavily on the portfolio managers’ creditworthiness analysis than if the Fund invested exclusively in higher-quality and rated securities.
 
Portfolio Turnover Risk .  The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objectives, particularly during periods of volatile market movements. High portfolio turnover ( i.e., over 100%) involves correspondingly greater expenses to the Fund, including brokerage commissions or dealer mark-ups and other transaction costs on the sale of securities and reinvestments in other securities.  Such sales may also result in realization of taxable capital gains, including short-term capital gains (which are generally taxed at ordinary income tax rates for federal income tax purposes).  The trading costs and tax effects associated with portfolio turnover may lower the Fund’s effective return for investors.

Derivatives Risk.   A derivative is a financial contract with a value that depends on, or is derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Fund typically uses derivatives as a substitute for taking a position in the underlying asset, as part of a strategy designed to reduce exposure to other risks and/or to manage cash.  The Fund’s use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, and possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments, such as liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk and management risk.
 
ETF Risk.   ETFs may trade at a discount to the aggregate value of the underlying securities and although expense ratios for ETFs are generally low, frequent trading of ETFs by the Fund can generate brokerage expenses. Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly be subject to the fees and expenses of the individual ETFs in which the Fund invests.
 
Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by illustrating the variability of the Fund’s returns.  The bar chart shows changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year for Class I shares (the class with the longest period of annual returns).  However, the Fund’s Class A and Class C shares are subject to sales loads.  Sales loads are not reflected in the bar chart and if these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown.  The table, which includes all applicable fees and sales charges, shows how the Fund’s average annual returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.  The Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.  Updated performance is available on the Fund’s website at http://www.hwcm.com/literature or by calling the Fund toll-free at 1-866-HW-FUNDS (1-866-493-8637).
 
The inception dates for the Fund’s Class I, Class A and Class C shares are December 31, 2002, December 31, 2002 and August 28, 2003, respectively.  Performance figures prior to the inception date of Class C shares are based on the historical performance of the original share class (Class I) of the Fund adjusted to reflect the higher operating expenses of Class C shares.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries.   If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank or financial advisor), the Fund and/or its Advisor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.  These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment.  Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
