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. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses are equal to the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers and expense reimbursements shown in the fee table through 6/30/14 and total annual fund operating expenses thereafter. Your actual costs may be higher or lower.


IF YOU SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:
	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
CLASS A SHARES ($)		440		700		981		1,780
CLASS C SHARES ($)		218		494		894		2,014
SELECT CLASS SHARES ($)		57		277		514		1,195


IF YOU DO NOT SELL YOUR SHARES, YOUR COST WOULD BE:
	1 Year		3 Years		5 Years		10 Years
CLASS A SHARES ($)		440		700		981		1,780
CLASS C SHARES ($)		118		494		894		2,014
SELECT CLASS SHARES ($)		57		277		514		1,195

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 Fund’s most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 13% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

In implementing its strategy, the Fund invests in a portfolio of municipal bonds (including housing authority mortgage securities, fixed and floating rate municipal securities representing an interest in or secured by residential mortgage loans, and high yield, high risk municipal securities (also known as junk bonds), municipal inverse floaters, high yield, high risk taxable securities, and non-investment grade loan assignments and participations (such securities are also known as junk bonds). The Fund may invest a significant portion or all of its assets in municipal mortgage-backed securities in the adviser’s discretion. The Fund will invest in fixed income investments, including municipal securities, of any maturity. Distribution of net income from taxable investments would be taxable income.

The Fund seeks to pursue a tax aware investing strategy by attempting to achieve high after-tax returns for shareholders by balancing investment considerations and tax considerations. As part of this strategy, the Fund seeks to maximize after-tax returns. Among the techniques and strategies used by the Fund in seeking the tax-efficient management are the following: investing in municipal securities, the interest from which is exempt from federal income tax; investing in taxable securities where after-tax return is favorable; attempting to minimize net realized short-term capital gain; and employing a long-term approach to investing.

Loan assignments and participations (Loans) will typically consist of senior secured floating rate loans, but may also include unsecured loans, second lien loans or more junior and bridge loans as well as commitments to purchase loans. Loans may be issued by obligors in the U.S. or in foreign or emerging markets. When the Fund acquires a loan assignment, the Fund typically will have a direct contractual relationship with the obligor; provided, however, the Fund may only be able to enforce its rights through an administrative agent. When the Fund acquires a loan participation, the Fund typically enters into a contractual relationship with the third party selling such participations, but not the borrower. As a result, the Fund assumes the credit risk of the seller of the loan participation and any other parties interpositioned between the Fund and the borrower. Under a loan participation, the Fund may have no direct rights to enforce the terms of the loan against the borrower. The Fund may not benefit directly from the collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the loan participations or assignments.

The Fund may invest in municipal inverse floaters, which pay interest at rates that bear an inverse relationship to changes in short-term market interest rates. A municipal inverse floater is typically created when the Fund arranges for the deposit of a municipal bond it owns with a special purpose vehicle (SPV) and receives the municipal inverse floater (which is comprised

of a residual interest in the cash flows and assets of the SPV) and proceeds from the issuance by the SPV of floating rate certificates to third parties. The holder of a municipal inverse floater generally bears substantially all of the downside investment risk associated with the underlying bond, and typically also is the potential beneficiary of any appreciation of the underlying bond’s value.

Up to 35% of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in securities rated below investment grade (junk bonds). Junk bonds also include unrated securities that the Fund’s adviser believes to be of comparable quality to debt securities that are rated below investment grade. Junk bonds are also called “high yield bonds” and “non-investment grade bonds.” These securities generally are rated in the fifth or lower rating categories (for example, BB or lower by Standard & Poor’s Corporation (S&P) and Ba or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (Moody’s)). These securities generally offer a higher yield than investment grade securities, but involve a high degree of risk. A security’s quality is determined at the time of purchase and securities that are rated investment grade or the unrated equivalent may be downgraded or decline in credit quality such that subsequently they would be deemed to be below investment grade.

From time to time, a significant portion of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in municipal housing authority obligations.

All of the Fund’s assets may be invested in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax for both individuals and corporations.

Investment Process

The adviser buys and sells securities and investments for the Fund based on its view of individual securities and market sectors. Taking a long-term approach, the adviser looks for individual fixed income investments that it believes will perform well over market cycles. The adviser is value oriented and makes decisions to purchase and sell individual securities and instruments after performing a risk/reward analysis that includes an evaluation of interest rate risk, credit risk, duration, liquidity and the complex legal and technical structure of the transaction.

As part of its tax aware strategy, the Fund typically sells securities when the anticipated performance benefit justifies the resulting gain. This strategy often includes minimizing the sale of securities with large unrealized gains, holding securities long enough to avoid short-term capital gains taxes, selling securities with a higher cost basis first and offsetting capital gains realized in one security by selling another security at a capital loss.

The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions and the implementation of the tax aware strategy.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk because it is an actively managed Fund. The Fund may not achieve its objective if the adviser’s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met.

An investment in this Fund or any other fund may not provide a complete investment program. The suitability of an investment in the Fund should be considered based on the investment objective, strategies and risks described in this prospectus, considered in light of all of the other investments in your portfolio, as well as your risk tolerance, financial goals and time horizons. You may want to consult with a financial advisor to determine if this Fund is suitable for you.

Municipal Obligations Risk. The risk of a municipal obligation generally depends on the financial and credit status of the issuer. Changes in a municipality’s financial health may make it difficult for the municipality to make interest and principal payments when due. This could decrease the Fund’s income or hurt the ability to preserve capital and liquidity.

Under some circumstances, municipal obligations might not pay interest unless the state legislature or municipality authorizes money for that purpose.

Municipal obligations may be more susceptible to downgrades or defaults during recessions or similar periods of economic stress. In addition, since some municipal obligations may be secured or guaranteed by banks and other institutions, the risk to the Fund could increase if the banking or financial sector suffers an economic downturn and/or if the credit ratings of the institutions issuing the guarantee are downgraded or at risk of being downgraded by a national rating organization. Such a downward revision or risk of being downgraded may have an adverse effect on the market prices of the bonds and thus the value of the Fund’s investments.

In addition to being downgraded, an insolvent municipality may file for bankruptcy. The reorganization of a municipality’s debts may significantly affect the rights of creditors and the value of the securities issued by the municipality and the value of the Fund’s investments.

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.

Alternative Minimum Tax Risk. The Fund may invest in municipal bonds, the interest on which may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax.

High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may invest in securities and instruments that are issued by companies that are highly

leveraged, less creditworthy or financially distressed (also known as junk bonds). These investments are considered to be speculative and are subject to greater risk of loss, greater sensitivity to economic changes, valuation difficulties, and potential illiquidity.

Interest Rate Risk. The Fund’s investments in bonds and other debt securities will change in value based on changes in interest rates. If rates rise, the value of these investments generally drops. Given the historically low interest rate environment, risks associated with rising rates are heightened.

Credit Risk. The Fund’s investments are subject to the risk that the issuer or the counterparty will fail to make payments when due or default completely. If an issuer’s financial condition worsens, the credit quality of the issuer may deteriorate making it difficult for the Fund to sell such investments.

Mortgage-Related and Other Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage-related and asset-backed securities, including certain municipal housing authority obligations, are subject to certain other risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market and the assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-related and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. These securities are also subject to prepayment and call risk. In periods of declining interest rates, the Fund may be subject to contraction risk which is the risk that borrowers will increase the rate at which they prepay the maturity value of mortgages and other obligations. When mortgages and other obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield or fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss and/or a decrease in the amount of dividend and yield. In periods of rising interest rates, the Fund may be subject to extension risk which is the risk that the expected maturity of an obligation will lengthen in duration due to a decrease in prepayments. As a result, in certain interest rate environments, the Fund may exhibit additional volatility.

Debt Securities and other Callable Securities Risk. As part of its main investment strategy, the Fund invests in debt securities. The issuer of these securities and other callable securities may be able to repay principal in advance, especially when interest rates fall. Changes in prepayment rates can affect the return on investment and yield of these securities. When debt obligations are prepaid and when securities are called, the Fund may have to reinvest in securities with a lower yield. The Fund also may fail to recover additional amounts (i.e., premiums) paid for securities with higher interest rates, resulting in an unexpected capital loss.

3

Loan Risk. The Fund may invest in Loans including Loans that are rated below investment grade. Like other high yield, corporate debt instruments, such Loans are subject to an increased risk of default in the payment of principal and interest as well as the other risks described under “ Interest Rate Risk ,” “ Credit Risk ” and “ High Yield Securities Risk .” Loans are vulnerable to market sentiment such that economic conditions or other events may reduce the demand for Loans and cause their value to decline rapidly and unpredictably. Although the Fund limits its investments in illiquid securities to no more than 15% of the Fund’s net assets at the time of purchase, Loans that are deemed to be liquid at the time of purchase may become illiquid.

Inverse Floater Risk. The market value of an inverse floater can be more volatile than that of a conventional fixed-rate bond having similar credit quality, maturity and redemption provisions. Inverse floaters involve complex transactions and involve risks in addition to risks associated with more conventional municipal obligations. Inverse floaters may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Inverse floaters can create leverage thereby causing the Fund to be more volatile than it would be if it had not used inverse floaters.

Tax Aware Investing Risk. The Fund’s tax aware strategies may reduce your taxable income, but will not eliminate it. These strategies may require trade-offs that reduce pre-tax income. Managing the Fund to maximize after-tax returns may also potentially have a negative effect on the Fund’s performance. Because tax consequences are considered in managing the Fund, the Fund’s pre-tax performance may be lower than that of a similar fund that is not tax-managed.

Taxability Risk. The Fund’s investments in municipal securities rely on the opinion of the issuer’s bond counsel that the interest paid on those securities will not be subject to federal income tax. Tax opinions are generally provided at the time the municipal security is initially issued. However, after the Fund buys a security, the Internal Revenue Service may determine that a bond issued as tax-exempt should in fact be taxable and the Fund’s dividends with respect to that bond might be subject to federal income tax.

Zero-Coupon Bond Risk. The market value of a zero-coupon bond is generally more volatile than the market value of other fixed income securities with similar maturities that pay interest periodically.

Redemption Risk. The Fund could experience a loss when selling securities to meet redemption requests by shareholders. The

risk of loss increases if the redemption requests are unusually large or frequent, occur in times of overall market turmoil or declining prices for the securities sold, or when the securities the Fund wishes to or is required to sell are illiquid.

Investments in the Fund are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, the Federal Reserve Board or any other government agency.

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions of interest on municipal bonds generally are not subject to federal income tax; however the Fund will distribute taxable dividends, including distributions of short-term gains, and long-term gains. In addition, interest on certain bonds may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. To the extent that the Fund’s distributions are derived from interest on bonds that are not exempt from applicable state and local taxes, such distributions will be subject to such state and local taxes.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the financial intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.
