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:   $106
3 Years:   $331
5 Years:   $574
10 Years:   $1,271
 
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 ended March 31, 2013, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 24% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Osterweis Fund invests primarily in common stocks of companies that Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) believes offer superior investment value and opportunity for growth. The Fund may invest in companies of any size – large, medium and small. The Adviser focuses on companies that it believes to be undervalued or otherwise out-of-favor in the market, but that have attractive growth prospects. The Adviser places particular emphasis on the analysis of a company’s ability to generate free cash flow and the value-enhancing deployment of this cash, balance sheet strength and longer-term growth prospects.
 
The Adviser also seeks under-researched, high-growth situations that it believes can be purchased at modest valuations as well as companies with substantial unrecognized asset value and improving earnings prospects. As such companies achieve greater visibility over time and their stocks are accorded valuations more in line with their growth rates, the Adviser may be inclined to regard them as candidates for sale.
 
Other types of equity securities in which the Fund may invest include convertible securities and publicly traded Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) that are generally energy or natural resource-related companies which may comprise up to 15% of the Fund’s assets. The Fund may also invest up to 30% of its assets in equity securities of foreign issuers and/or depositary receipts that are traded on domestic or foreign exchanges, including emerging markets.
 
In addition to taking temporary defensive positions in cash and short-term bonds from time to time, the Fund may invest up to 50% of its assets in fixed income securities, which include, but are not limited to U.S. government and agency debt, investment grade corporate debt and convertible debt. Up to 40% of the Fund’s assets may be invested in domestic high yield debt or “junk bonds” (higher-risk, lower-rated fixed income securities such as those rated lower than BBB- by S&P or lower than Baa3 by Moody’s), although the Fund does not expect to maintain significant positions in such securities on a normal basis.
 
Principal Investment Risks

There is the risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund. The following risks   could affect the value of your investment   in the Fund:

·  
General Market Risk:  The risk that security market values may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably.
 
·  
Management Risk:  The risk that the Adviser may fail to implement the Fund’s investment strategies and meet its investment objective.
 
·  
Large Company Risk:  Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, large-cap companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
 
·  
Small and Medium Company Risk:  Investing in securities of small- and medium-sized companies, even indirectly, may involve greater volatility than investing in larger and more established companies.
 
·  
Foreign Securities and Emerging Markets Risk:  Investing in foreign securities may involve increased risks due to political, social and economic developments abroad, and differences between U.S. and foreign regulatory practices. These risks are enhanced in emerging markets.

·  
Master Limited Partnership Risk:  Investing in MLPs entails risk to potential changes in the U.S. tax code which could revoke the pass-through tax attributes that make MLPs marginally more attractive today compared to other investments, fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in supply of or demand for energy commodities, decreases in demand for MLPs in rising interest rate environments and various other risks. Investments in general partnerships may be riskier than investments in limited partnerships.
 
·  
Interest Rate Risk:  The risk that interest rates may rise resulting in a decrease in the value of the securities held by the Fund, or that interest rates may fall resulting in an increase in the value of such securities.
 
·  
Credit Risk:  The risk that issuers of fixed income securities in which the Fund invests experience unanticipated financial problems causing their securities to decline in value.
 
·  
High Yield Securities (“Junk Bond”) Risk:  Investing in fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade involves risks such as increased possibility of default, decreased liquidity of the security and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer.

Distributions on investments made through tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of assets from those accounts.

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 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 intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
