1 As of September 1, 2013, the Fund’s advisory fee was reduced; therefore, the Management Fees, Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements and Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements have been restated to reflect the current fees.
2 The Fund’s adviser, administrator and the distributor (the Service Providers) have contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of Class A, Class C and Select Class Shares (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, Dividend Expenses on Short Sales, interest, taxes, expenses related to litigation and potential litigation, extraordinary expenses and expenses related to the Board of Trustees’ deferred compensation plan) exceed 1.30%, 1.80% and 1.05%, respectively, of their average daily net assets. This contract cannot be terminated prior to 11/1/13 at which time the Service Providers will determine whether or not to renew or revise it.

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 (including short sales) was 583% of the average value of its portfolio.

What are the Fund’s main investment strategies?

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its Assets in long and short positions with respect to equity securities of U.S. companies. These equity securities will primarily be common stocks. “Assets” means net assets, plus the amount of borrowings for investment purposes.

“Plus” in the Fund’s name refers to the additional return the Fund endeavors to add both relative to the S&P 500 Index as well as relative to traditional strategies which do not have the ability to sell stock short. At the same time, by controlling factor or risk exposures through portfolio construction, the Fund seeks to limit its volatility to that of the overall market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index. Short sales involve the sale of a security which the fund does not own in hopes of purchasing the same security at a later date at a lower price. To make delivery to the buyer, the Fund must borrow the security, and the fund is obligated to return the security to the lender, which is accomplished by a later purchase of the security by the Fund.

The Fund intends to maintain an approximate net 100% long exposure to the equity market (long market value minus short market value). However the long and short positions held by the Fund will vary in size as market opportunities change. The Fund’s long positions and their equivalents will range between 90% and 150% of the value of the Fund’s net assets. The Fund’s short positions will range between 0% and 50% of the value of the Fund’s net assets.

Derivatives, which are instruments that have a value based on another instrument, exchange rate or index, may be used as substitutes for securities in which the Fund can invest. To the extent the Fund uses derivatives, the Fund will primarily use futures contracts to more effectively gain targeted equity exposure from its cash positions.

Investment Process: The Fund has an actively managed strategy that employs an investment process based on behavioral finance principles. Behavioral finance theorizes that investors behave irrationally in systematic and predictable ways because human psychology affects investment decision-making. This investor behavior results in market inefficiencies that persist over time. The Fund seeks to capitalize on these market anomalies through a disciplined and dispassionate investment process.

The investment process identifies securities that have been mispriced by behavioral biases. Stocks are ranked based on their value, momentum or quality characteristics. In general, stocks are purchased when they are among the top ranked within their sector and are sold if the adviser determines that the issuer no longer meets the Fund’s investment criteria or if the adviser believes that more attractive opportunities are available. The adviser considers selling short or initiating underweight positions in the lowest ranked securities. Risk or factor exposures are actively managed through portfolio construction. Portfolio constraints control for sector weights, position sizes and style and size characteristics of the Fund.

The Fund’s Main Investment Risks

The Fund is subject to management risk and 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.

Equity Market Risk. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company’s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for the Fund’s portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of the Fund’s securities goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value.

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.

Short Selling Risk. The Fund will incur a loss as a result of a short sale if the price of the security sold short increases in value between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund purchases the security to replace the borrowed security. In addition, a lender may request, or market conditions may dictate, that securities sold short be returned to the lender on short notice, and the Fund may have to buy the securities sold short at an unfavorable price. If this occurs, any anticipated gain to the Fund may be reduced or eliminated or the short sale may result in a loss. The Fund’s losses are potentially unlimited in a short sale transaction. Short sales are speculative transactions and involve special risks, including greater reliance on the adviser’s ability to accurately anticipate the future value of a security. Furthermore, taking short positions in securities results in a form of leverage which may cause the Fund to be more volatile.

Mid Cap Company Risk. Investments in mid cap companies may be riskier than investments in larger, more established companies. Mid cap companies may be more volatile and more vulnerable to economic, market and industry changes. As a result, share price changes may be more sudden or erratic than the prices of other equity securities, especially over the short term.

Derivative Risk. Derivatives, including futures, may be riskier than other types of investments and may increase the volatility of the Fund. Derivatives may be sensitive to changes in economic and market conditions and may create leverage, which could result in losses that significantly exceed the Fund’s original investment. Derivatives expose the Fund to counterparty risk, which is the risk that the derivative counterparty will not fulfill its contractual obligations (and includes credit risk associated with the counterparty). Certain derivatives are synthetic instruments that attempt to replicate the performance of certain reference assets. With regard to such derivatives, the Fund does not have a claim on the reference assets and is

subject to enhanced counterparty risk. Derivatives may not perform as expected, so the Fund may not realize the intended benefits. When used for hedging, the change in value of a derivative may not correlate as expected with the security or other risk being hedged. In addition, given their complexity, derivatives expose the Fund to risks of mispricing or improper valuation.

High Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading leading to increased portfolio turnover, higher transaction costs, and the possibility of increased capital gains, including short-term capital gains that will generally be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.

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.

You could lose money investing in the Fund.

The Fund’s Past Performance

This section provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund. The bar chart shows how the performance of the Fund’s Select Class Shares has varied from year to year for the past five calendar years. The table shows the average annual total returns for the past one year, five years and the life of the Fund. The table compares that performance to the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Stock Price Index (“S&P 500 Index”) and the Lipper Extended U.S. Large-Cap Core Funds Average, an average based on the total return of all funds within the Fund’s designated category as determined by Lipper. Unlike the other index, the Lipper index includes the expenses of the mutual funds included in the index. Past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how any class of the Fund will perform in the future.
