1  The advisory fee is subject to a performance adjustment based on the Fund's performance relative to the performance of the NASDAQ Composite Index and may range from 0.70% to 1.50% depending on the Fund's performance. The performance adjustment is computed based on the average net assets of the Fund over the current month plus the previous 11 months. Because the performance fee is based on the average net assets of the rolling 12 month period, and the base fee is based on the average net assets of the current month, the investment advisory fee shown in the table may be lower or higher than the stated range.

2  Turner Investments, L.P. ("Turner" or the "Adviser") has contractually agreed to waive fees and reimburse Fund expenses to keep the Fund's "Other Expenses" (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses and interest expenses relating to short sales) from exceeding 0.25% through January 31, 2014. Only the Board of Trustees of the Turner Funds may terminate the waiver prior to January 31, 2014. Turner may discontinue this arrangement at any time after January 31, 2014. To the extent acquired fund fees and expenses and interest expenses relating to short sales are excluded from the waiver and reimbursement calculation, "Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waivers and Expense Reimbursements" will be higher.

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, that the Fund's operating expenses will remain the same and that you reinvest all dividends and distributions. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

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 182% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Strategy

The Turner All Cap Growth Fund invests primarily (at least 80% of its net assets) in companies with projected strong earnings growth across a variety of industries and sectors where new products and services are being developed and marketed. Turner strives to find leading companies in rapidly growing industries such as business services, computer and digital products, financial services, Internet-related companies, medical technology, retail, and telecommunications. Companies that have the potential for rapid earnings growth because of management changes, new products, or changes in the economy also may be attractive investments for the Fund.

Although it may invest in companies of any size, the Fund generally invests in stocks of medium to large-capitalization companies and will generally purchase securities of companies with market capitalizations at the time of purchase of at least $1 billion. The Fund may continue to hold securities of companies whose market capitalization was within such range at the time of purchase but whose current market capitalization may be outside of that range. The Fund will not invest more than 50% of its assets in any one sector of the economy (for example, technology or industrial), and will not invest more than 25% in any one industry or group of industries. Subject to its investment policy above, during normal market conditions the Fund may invest its assets in cash or cash equivalent securities when it believes that appropriate buying opportunities are not available.

In selecting securities for the Fund, Turner pursues a bottom-up strategy that blends quantitative and qualitative analysis to find companies with superior earnings prospects, reasonable valuations, and favorable trading-volume and price patterns. A stock becomes a sell candidate if Turner detects deterioration in the company's earnings growth potential. Turner may also trim positions to adhere to capitalization or capacity constraints.

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's investments will generate 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 medium capitalization companies the Fund invests in may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic events than larger, more established companies. In particular, these medium sized companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Therefore, medium capitalization stock prices may be more volatile than those of larger companies.

The Fund invests in companies that Turner believes have strong earnings growth potential. 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.

The Fund is subject to risks due to its foreign investments. Foreign stocks involve special risks not typically associated with U.S. stocks. The stocks held by the Fund may underperform other types of stocks, and they may not increase or may decline in value. The risks associated with foreign investments are heightened when investing in emerging markets. The government and economies of emerging market countries feature greater instability than those of more developed countries. Such investments tend to fluctuate in price more widely and to be less liquid than other foreign investments.

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.

1  The NASDAQ Composite Index includes the more than 5,000 domestic and non-U.S. based common stocks listed on the NASDAQ stock market. The index is market-value weighted. This means that each company's security affects the index in proportion to its market value. The market value, the last sale price multiplied by total shares outstanding, is calculated throughout the trading day, and is related to the total value of the index. Because it is so broad-based, the Index is one of the most widely followed and quoted major market indices.

2  The Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 3000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher 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.

In general, the Fund's distributions will be taxable to you for federal, state and local income tax purposes as ordinary income or capital gains, except that distributions on, and sales, exchanges and redemptions of, shares held in an IRA (or other tax-qualified plan) will not be currently taxable.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

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.
