Performance shown before June 3, 2013, is for the fund’s predecessor limited partnership (North Star Dividend Fund, LP). The prior performance is net of management fees and other expenses, but does not include the effect of the performance fee. The fund has been managed in the same style and by the same portfolio managers since the predecessor limited partnership’s inception on Feb. 1, 2010. The fund’s investment goals, policies, guidelines, and restrictions are, in all material respects, equivalent to the predecessor limited partnership’s investment goals, policies, guidelines, and restrictions. From its inception on Feb. 1, 2010, through the date of this prospectus, the predecessor limited partnership was not subject to certain investment restrictions of the 1940 Act of the Code, which if they had been applicable might have adversely affected its performance. Performance of the predecessor fund is not an indicator of future results.
Important Risk Information:
Mutual Funds have investment risks including loss of principal. There is no guarantee the fund will meet its objective. In general, the price of a fixed income security falls when interest rates rise. There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. The Fund may invest in high yield securities, also known as “junk bonds”. High yield securities provide greater income and opportunity for gain, but entail greater risk of loss of principal. Foreign common stocks and currency strategies will subject the Fund to currency trading risks that include market risk, credit risk and country risk. Municipal securities are subject to credit risk where a municipal security might not make interest and principal payments as they come due. The Advisor follows an investing style that favors value investments. At times when the value investing style is out of favor, the Fund may underperform other funds that use different investing styles. Investments in lesser known, small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. As with any investment, there are risks associated with REITs. Investments in lesser-known, small and medium capitalization companies may be more vulnerable than larger, more established organizations. The Advisor does not attempt to keep the portfolio structure or fund performance consistent with any market index. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage commissions, and other transaction costs may result in taxable capital gains.
