The Fund will notify all existing shareholders if and when it decides to implement the fee.

2  "Total Other Expenses" include dividends and interest on securities that the Fund sells short ("short-sale dividends and interest"). Short-sale dividends and interest are treated as an expense, and increase the Fund's total expense ratio.

3  The "Shareholder Servicing Fee" is included as part of the Fund's "Total Other Expenses" and is presented here for information purposes only.

4  Turner Investment Partners, Inc. ("Turner" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse Fund expenses to keep the Fund's "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements" of the Institutional Class Shares and Investor Class Shares (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses and interest expenses relating to short sales) from exceeding 0.69% and 0.94%, respectively, through January 31, 2011. Turner may discontinue this arrangement at any time after January 31, 2011.

5  "Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements" include 0.01% in cash management credits earned by Institutional Class Shares of the Fund to offset transfer agent expenses.

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 each year your investment has a 5% return, Fund operating expenses are as stated under "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses" and you reinvest all dividends and distributions. Although actual costs may be higher or lower, using these assumptions, your approximate cost of investing $10,000 in the Fund would be:

    1 Year   3 Years   5 Years   10 Years  
Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value
Fund — Institutional Class Shares
  $ 70     $ 2,817     $ 5,065     $ 9,062    
Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value
Fund — Investor Class Shares
  $ 96     $ 3,059     $ 5,409     $ 9,374    

 

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 241% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Strategy

The Turner Quantitative Large Cap Value Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its assets) in equity securities of U.S. companies with large market capitalizations that Turner believes, based on its quantitative model, are undervalued relative to the market or to their historic valuation. Large cap companies are defined for this purpose as companies with market capitalizations of $3 billion or more at the time of purchase.

The Fund's strategy is based on Turner's proprietary quantitative model, which seeks to identify attractive large cap value securities based on such value characteristics as price to cash flow, price to earnings and price to book value ratios, among other factors. The Fund will seek to maintain sector weightings that approximate those of the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The Fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy.

Principal Risks

The Fund is intended for investors seeking long-term growth of capital who can withstand the share price volatility of equity investing.

Since it purchases equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that stock prices will fall over short or extended periods of time. You could lose all, or a substantial portion, of your investment in the Fund.

The Fund is also subject to taxable income and realized capital gains. Shareholder redemptions may force the Fund to sell securities at an inappropriate time, also resulting in realized gains.

The Fund is subject to the risk that large capitalization value stocks may underperform other segments of the equity market or the equity markets as a whole. The Fund invests in companies that Turner believes, based on its quantitative model are undervalued relative to the market or to their historic valuation. Turner's investment approach may be out of favor at times, causing the Fund to underperform funds that also seek capital appreciation but use different approaches to the stock selection and portfolio construction process.

Despite being "diversified" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, because it focuses primarily on U.S. value companies, the Fund generally will hold fewer stocks in larger percentage amounts than funds that are more broadly diversified and with a different focus.

The Fund's ability to buy and sell securities frequently may result in higher transaction costs and additional tax liabilities. The Fund's portfolio turnover rates are described in this Summary Section and in the Financial Highlights in the prospectus.

Performance Information

The bar chart and the performance table below provide some indication of the risks and volatility of an investment in the Fund.

Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at www.turnerinvestments.com.

The performance of Institutional Class and Investor Class Shares will differ due to differences in expenses. This bar chart shows the performance of the Fund's Institutional Class Shares since the Fund's inception.1

2  The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower forecasted growth values.

What Is An Index?

An index measures the market price of a specific group of securities in a particular market of securities in a market sector. You cannot invest directly in an index. An index does not have an investment adviser and does not pay any commissions, expenses or taxes. If an index had expenses, its performance would be lower.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase 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 financial representative or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
