____________

(1)

The Class Y shares had not commenced operations as of June 30, 2016.  Accordingly, “Additional Other Expenses” for the Class Y shares are estimated based on other expenses of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

(2)

Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses (“AFFE”) are fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with its investments in other investment companies.  Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses shown will not correlate to the Fund’s ratio of expenses to average net assets appearing in the Financial Highlights table, which does not include AFFE.

(3)

Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between Frontegra Asset Management, Inc. (“Frontegra”), the Fund’s investment adviser, and the Fund, Frontegra has contractually agreed to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, AFFE and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.80%, 0.95% and 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class, Service Class and Class Y shares, respectively.  Frontegra is entitled to recoup the fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed within a three-year period from the time the expenses were incurred to the extent of the expense limitation described above and in place at the time of recoupment.  The expense cap agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2018, with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by Frontegra or the Company prior to any such renewal.

Example.  The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the shares of 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:

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 30% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategy.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a non-diversified portfolio of publicly-traded equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies.  For purposes of the 80% policy, net assets include any borrowings for investment purposes.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate its assets among issuers located in at least three different countries and will invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies.  Magellan Asset Management Limited doing business as MFG Asset Management (“MFG Asset Management”), the Fund’s subadviser, may reduce this 40% minimum investment amount to 30% if it deems market conditions to be unfavorable.  MFG Asset Management seeks to identify high-quality companies at attractive prices while integrating an in depth macroeconomic understanding in order to manage risk.  The Fund will normally hold a concentrated number (generally 20 to 40) of companies, typically with a market capitalization in excess of U.S. $25 billion at the time of purchase.

Principal Investment Risks.

Market Risks.  The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.  If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of the Fund will go down, and you may lose money.  U.S. and international markets have experienced extreme volatility, reduced liquidity, credit downgrades, increased likelihood of default and valuation difficulties in recent years.

Equity Securities Risks.  Common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund will fluctuate in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions.  A fund that invests a significant amount of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities is likely to have greater fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities.

Non-Diversification Risks.  The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies than funds that are diversified.  Gains or losses on a single company may have greater impact on the Fund than for other funds that invest in a greater number of companies.

Stock Selection Risks.  Stock prices vary and may fall, thus reducing the value of the Fund’s investments.  The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.

Large Capitalization Risks.  Large-cap companies perform differently from, and at times and for extended periods of time worse than, stocks of mid- and small-cap companies.  Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges.



2





Foreign Securities Risks.  Investments in securities of foreign companies involve additional risks, including less liquidity, currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards and securities market regulation, and imposition of foreign withholding taxes.  In June 2016, the United Kingdom (“UK”) voted to leave the European Union (“EU”) following a referendum referred to as “Brexit.”   There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications, and the range of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes are difficult to predict.   Geopolitical events, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, may cause market disruptions. 

Currency Risks.  The value of the Fund’s foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Fund may also incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.

Management Risks.  The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio and depends on the decisions of the portfolio manager to produce the desired results.

Cybersecurity Risks.  Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices utilized by the Fund potentially can be breached.  The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

Performance.  Performance information for the Fund is not included because the Fund does not have returns for one full calendar year.  Updated performance information is available on the Company’s website at www.frontiermutualfunds.com or by calling toll-free to 1-888-825-2100.

Tax Information.  The Fund’s distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as ordinary income or long term capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or

an individual retirement account (“IRA”).  You may be taxed later upon withdrawal of funds from these tax-deferred 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 conflicts 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.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND RELATED RISKS

Investment Objective.  The investment objective of the Fund is capital appreciation.  This investment objective is fundamental and may not be changed without shareholder approval.

Principal Investment Strategy.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a non-diversified portfolio of publicly-traded common stocks and other equity securities issued by U.S. and non-U.S. companies.  MFG Asset Management seeks to identify high-quality companies at attractive prices while integrating an in-depth macroeconomic understanding in order to manage risk.  The Fund will normally hold a concentrated number (generally 20 to 40) of companies, typically with a market capitalization in excess of U.S. $25 billion at the time of purchase.  However, as a non-principal investment strategy, the Fund may hold securities of companies of any market capitalization.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will allocate its assets among issuers located in at least three different countries and will invest at least 40% of its net assets in non-U.S. companies.  MFG Asset Management may reduce this 40% minimum investment amount to 30% if it deems market conditions to be unfavorable.

The Fund defines non-U.S. companies as companies:

·

that are organized under the laws of a foreign country;

·

whose principal trading market is in a foreign country; or

·

that have a majority of their assets, or that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales, outside of the United States.

With respect to the Fund’s non-U.S. investments, the Fund invests in companies located in developed countries as part of its principal investment strategy.  Buy candidates are companies that have sustainable competitive advantages which MFG Asset Management believes will translate into returns on capital materially in excess of their cost of capital for a sustained period of time.  These companies will usually have some or all of the following characteristics:  a wide economic “moat” (protection around an economic franchise), high reinvestment potential, low business risk, and low agency risk (risk surrounding the deployment of the cash flow).

MFG Asset Management’s primary starting point for portfolio construction is to undertake extensive research in order to identify companies that meet the above criteria and then weight the portfolio towards its highest conviction ideas.  MFG Asset Management will overlay its detailed macroeconomic analysis to ensure the Fund is not overly exposed to “portfolio aggregation risk” (over correlation to a single company, industry or macroeconomic risk) or “macroeconomic event risk” (a major macroeconomic event that could significantly and adversely impact the value of the Fund’s investments).

MFG Asset Management will purchase a company for the Fund when the valuation is attractive, using both discounted cash flow valuations and forecasts of three year total shareholder return.  MFG Asset Management will buy companies that have both low and higher price-to-earnings and price-to-book multiples provided that the company has some or all of the favorable attributes described above and its shares are trading at an appropriate discount to MFG Asset Management’s assessment of intrinsic value.

From time to time, MFG Asset Management may make significant changes to the Fund’s portfolio if it believes that macroeconomic events could lead to a significant and sustained loss in value for



5




shareholders.  Such events could include a financial crisis, a sustained oil price shock, a global pandemic or a major global conflict.

Companies are sold due to unfavorable changes in valuation, underlying fundamentals or management, if there are more attractive opportunities available, if the company has not performed to expectations, or if MFG Asset Management believes it is prudent to sell a position for risk management purposes.

Temporary Strategy.  The Fund may invest up to 100% of its total assets in cash, money market mutual funds and short-term fixed income securities as a temporary defensive position during adverse market, economic or political conditions, or in other limited circumstances, such as in the case of unusually large cash inflows or redemptions.  When so invested, the Fund may not achieve its investment objective.

Principal Risk Factors.

Market Risks.  The Fund’s investments are subject to market risk, which may cause the value of the Fund’s investments to decline.  If the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, the share price of the Fund will go down, and you may lose money.  U.S. and international markets have experienced extreme volatility, reduced liquidity, credit downgrades, increased likelihood of default and valuation difficulties in recent years.

Equity Securities Risks.  Common stocks and other equity securities held by the Fund will fluctuate in value based on the earnings of the company and on general industry and market conditions.  A fund that invests a significant amount of its assets in common stocks and other equity securities is likely to have greater fluctuations in share price than a fund that invests a significant portion of its assets in fixed income securities.

Non-Diversification Risks.  The Fund is non-diversified, which means it may invest more of its assets in a smaller number of companies than funds that are diversified.  Gains or losses on a single company may have greater impact on the Fund than for other funds that invest in a greater number of companies.

Stock Selection Risks.  Stock prices vary and may fall, thus reducing the value of the Fund’s investments.  The stocks selected for the Fund may decline in value or not increase in value when the stock market in general is rising.

Large Capitalization Risks.  Large-cap companies perform differently from, and at times and for extended periods of time worse than, stocks of mid- and small-cap companies.  Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges.

Foreign Securities Risks.  Investments in securities of foreign companies involve additional risks, including less liquidity, currency-rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards and securities market regulation, and imposition of foreign withholding taxes.

In June 2016, the UK voted to leave the EU following the Brexit referendum.  It is expected that the UK will exit the EU within two years; however, the exact timeframe for the UK’s exit is unknown.  There is significant market uncertainty regarding Brexit’s ramifications, and the range of possible political, regulatory, economic, and market outcomes are difficult to predict.  The negative impact could be significant, potentially resulting in increased volatility and illiquidity and lower economic growth for companies that rely significantly on Europe for their business activities and revenues.  Geopolitical events, including those in Ukraine and the Middle East, may cause market disruptions.  Any further exits from the EU, or any increase in the belief that such exits are likely or possible, may significantly impact



6




local and/or global markets and economies, as well as trade agreements, regulations and treaties.  It is possible that these or other geopolitical events could have an adverse effect on the value of the Fund’s investments.

Currency Risks.  The value of the Fund’s foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Fund may also incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies.

Management Risks.  The Fund is subject to management risk as an actively-managed investment portfolio and depends on the decisions of the portfolio manager to produce the desired results.

Cybersecurity Risks.  The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Fund and its service providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches.  Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached.  The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.  Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality.  Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV; impediments to trading; the inability of the Fund, Frontegra, MFG Asset Management, and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines; penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policy.  A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the SAI.

FUND MANAGEMENT

Board of Directors.  Under the laws of the State of Maryland, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) is responsible for managing the Company’s business and affairs.  The Board also oversees matters required by applicable state and federal law.  The Company has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Frontegra pursuant to which Frontegra supervises the management of the Fund’s investments and business affairs, subject to the supervision of the Board.  Frontegra has entered into a subadvisory agreement with MFG Asset Management under which MFG Asset Management manages the Fund’s portfolio, subject to Frontegra’s supervision.  Frontegra provides office facilities for the Fund and pays the salaries, fees and expenses of all officers and directors of the Fund who are interested persons of Frontegra.

Adviser.  The Company is managed by Frontegra, which supervises the management of the Fund’s portfolio by MFG Asset Management and administers the Company’s business affairs.  Frontegra was organized in 1996 and is located at 400 Skokie Boulevard, Suite 500, Northbrook, Illinois 60062.  William D. Forsyth III, the President of the Company and Frontegra, owns 100% of Frontegra.  Frontegra is affiliated with Frontier Partners, Inc., a consulting firm that provides marketing services to third party investment advisers, including MFG Asset Management.

A discussion regarding the Board’s basis for approving the investment advisory agreement and subadvisory agreement is included in the Fund’s annual report for the year ended June 30, 2016.

Management Fees.  Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund compensates Frontegra at the annual rate of 0.80% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.  Pursuant to an expense cap agreement between Frontegra and the Fund, Frontegra has agreed to reimburse the Fund’s operating expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund’s total operating expenses (excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions, AFFE and extraordinary expenses) do not exceed 0.80%, 0.95% and 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Institutional Class, Service Class and Class Y shares, respectively.  The expense cap agreement will continue in effect until October 31, 2018, with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by Frontegra or the Company prior to any such renewal.  The expense cap agreement has the effect of lowering the overall expense ratio for the Fund and increasing the Fund’s overall return to investors during the time any such amounts are waived and/or reimbursed.  The expense cap agreement may have the effect of increasing the Fund’s overall expense ratio during the periods where Frontegra recoups previously waived or reimbursed expenses, subject to the expense limitation agreement in place at the time of recoupment.  After expense waivers, there was no advisory fee paid to Frontegra for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016.

MFG Asset Management.  MFG Asset Management is a wholly owned subsidiary of Magellan Financial Group Limited (“MFG”), a company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.  MFG Asset Management was organized in 2006, and is located at MLC Centre Level 36, 19 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia.  Under the subadvisory agreement, MFG Asset Management is compensated by Frontegra for its investment subadvisory services based on a percentage of the net management fee received by Frontegra.  In addition, MFG Asset Management has agreed to reimburse Frontegra for a portion of Frontegra’s expenses related to the organization of the Fund and to share in any expense reimbursements required pursuant to the expense cap agreement.  In addition to providing portfolio management services to the Fund, MFG Asset Management serves as investment adviser to individual and institutional clients.  MFG Asset Management serves as subadviser to the Frontier MFG Core Infrastructure Fund and the Frontier MFG Global Equity Fund, two other series of the Company.  As of September 30, 2016, MFG Asset Management had approximately U.S. $32.4 billion under management.

The Fund’s SAI provides additional information about the Fund’s portfolio manager, including other accounts managed, ownership of Fund shares and compensation.

Custodian, Transfer Agent and Administrator.  U.S. Bank, N.A. acts as custodian of the Fund’s assets.  U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent for the Fund (the “Transfer Agent”) and as the Fund’s administrator.  U.S. Bank, N.A. and U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC are affiliated entities.

Distributor.  Frontegra Strategies, LLC (the “Distributor”), 400 Skokie Boulevard, Suite 500, Northbrook, Illinois 60062 acts as the principal distributor of the Fund’s shares.  The Distributor is managed and owned by Mr. Forsyth, who manages and owns the Fund’s investment adviser, Frontegra.  Accordingly, the Distributor and Frontegra are affiliates.

YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Purchase Shares.  Shares of the Fund are sold on a continuous basis at net asset value (“NAV”).  The Fund’s NAV is determined as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open.  The NAV for a class of shares is determined by adding the value of the Fund’s investments, cash and other assets attributable to that class, subtracting the liabilities attributable to that class and then dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding for the class.  Due to the fact that different expenses are charged to the Institutional Class, Service Class and Class Y shares of the Fund, the NAV of the three classes may vary.  Your purchase price will be the Fund’s NAV next determined after the Fund or an authorized agent, such as a fund supermarket or broker-dealer who is authorized by the Distributor or an affiliate to sell shares of the Fund (collectively, “Financial Intermediaries”), receives your request in proper form.  The Fund does not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be its agents.  Deposit in the mail or with a delivery service does not constitute receipt by the Transfer Agent.  A confirmation indicating the details of the transaction will be sent to you promptly.  Shares are credited to your account, but certificates are not issued.  However, you will have full shareholder rights.

Investments may be made by mail or wire.  The investment minimums noted above are waived for investments by qualified employee benefit plans.  Investment minimums may also be waived or reduced at the Fund’s discretion for certain registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, other financial intermediaries and individuals accessing accounts through registered investment advisers.  The Fund reserves the right to change or waive these minimums at any time.  You will be given at least 30 days’ notice of any increase in the minimum dollar amount of purchases.

Initial Investment by Mail.  You may purchase shares of the Fund by completing an application and mailing it along with a check payable to “Frontier Funds, Inc.” to:  Frontier Funds, Inc., c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-0701.  For overnight deliveries, please use 615 East Michigan Street, Third Floor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202-5207.  The Fund will not accept payment in cash or money orders.  The Fund also does not accept cashier’s checks in amounts of less than $10,000.  To prevent check fraud, the Fund will not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares.  The Fund is unable to accept post dated checks, post dated on-line bill pay checks, or any conditional order or payment.  Purchases



11




must be made in U.S. dollars and all checks must be drawn on a U.S. bank.  If your check does not clear, you will be charged a $25 service fee.  You will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Fund as a result.  In the event a shareholder is unable to make the Fund whole in such a case, Frontegra will generally be responsible for any losses, with the right to seek indemnification or contribution from other parties.  All applications to purchase shares of the Fund are subject to acceptance by the Company and are not binding until so accepted.  The Company reserves the right to reject an application in whole or in part.

Initial Investment by Wire.  In addition, you may purchase shares of the Fund by wire.  Instruct your bank to use the following instructions when wiring funds:

If you are making an initial investment in the Fund, before you wire funds, please contact the Transfer Agent by phone to make arrangements with a telephone service representative to submit your completed application via mail, overnight delivery, or facsimile.  Upon receipt of your application, your account will be established and a service representative will contact you within 24 hours to provide an account number and to confirm the wiring instructions.

The Fund is not responsible for the consequences of delays resulting from the banking or Federal Reserve wire system.  Wired funds must be received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to be eligible for same day pricing.

Investment through Financial Intermediaries.  Alternatively, you may place an order to purchase shares of the Fund through a Financial Intermediary, who may charge a transaction fee for placing orders to purchase Fund shares or have policies or procedures that differ from those set forth in this Prospectus.  It is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary to place the order with the Fund on a timely basis.  Please consult your Financial Intermediary regarding fee information and procedures for purchasing and selling shares of the Fund.

Important Information about Procedures for Opening a New Account.  The Company, on behalf of the Fund, is required to comply with various anti-money laundering laws and regulations.  To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions, including mutual funds, to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.  Consequently, the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Fund’s Anti-Money Laundering Program.  As requested on the application, you must supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address.  We may also ask for other identifying documents or information.  Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted.  Please contact the Transfer Agent at 1-888-825-2100 if you need additional assistance when completing your application.

If we do not have a reasonable belief of your identity, the account will be rejected or you will not be allowed to perform a transaction on the account until such information is received.  The Fund also reserves the right to close the account within five business days if clarifying information and/or documentation is not received.  If at any time the Fund detects suspicious behavior or if certain account information matches government lists of suspicious persons, the Fund may determine not to open an account, may close an existing account, may file a suspicious activity report or may take other action.  Any delay in processing your order will affect the purchase price you receive for your shares.  The Company and the Transfer Agent are not liable for fluctuations in NAV experienced as a result of such delays in processing.

In order to purchase shares, you must reside in a jurisdiction where Fund shares may lawfully be offered for sale.  Shares of the Fund have not been registered for sale outside of the United States except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.  The Fund may not be sold to investors residing outside the United States and its territories, except upon evidence of compliance with the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdictions.

If you purchase shares of the Fund by check and request the redemption of such shares, payment of the redemption proceeds may be delayed for up to 12 days in order to ensure that the check for the investment has cleared.  This is a security precaution only and does not affect your investment.

Multiple Classes.  The Fund currently offers three different classes of shares:  Institutional Class shares, Service Class and Class Y shares.  As of the date of this prospectus, Class Y shares have not yet commenced operations.  The different classes of shares represent investments in the same portfolio of securities but are subject to different expenses, which may affect their performance.  The classes also differ with respect to their investment minimums.  Service Class shares and Class Y shares impose a shareholder servicing fee that is assessed against the assets of the Fund attributable to each class.  In addition, Class Y shares impose a Rule 12b-1 fee that is assessed against the assets of the Fund attributable to that class.

Subsequent Investments.  You may make additions to your account by mail or by wire.  When making an additional purchase by mail, enclose a check payable to “Frontier Funds, Inc.” along with the additional investment form provided on the lower portion of your account statement.

Subsequent Investments by Wire.  To make an additional purchase by wire, please contact the Transfer Agent to advise them of your intent to wire funds.  This will ensure prompt and accurate credit upon receipt of your wire.  To make an additional investment by wire, please follow the wire instructions used to open an account.

How to Redeem Shares.  You may request redemption of part or all of your Fund shares at any time.  The price you receive will be the NAV next determined after the Fund receives your request in proper form, subject to the redemption fee described below if the shares have been held for 30 days or less.  Once your redemption request is received in proper form, the Fund normally will mail or wire your redemption proceeds the next business day and, in any event, no later than seven calendar days after receipt of a redemption request.  However, where securities have been sold to generate cash for payment of a redemption, your redemption proceeds will not be paid until the first business day after the sales proceeds are received by the Fund.  Also, the Fund may hold payment of your redemption proceeds until the Transfer Agent is reasonably satisfied that the purchase check has cleared, which may be up to 12 days.  In addition to the redemption procedures described below, redemptions may also be made through Financial Intermediaries who may charge a commission or other transaction fee.



13





Written Redemption.  To redeem shares in the Fund please furnish a written, unconditional request to:  Frontier Funds, Inc., c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-0701.  For written redemption requests sent via overnight delivery, please use 615 East Michigan Street, Third Floor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202-5207.  Your request must (i) be signed exactly as the shares are registered, including the signature of each owner and (ii) specify the number of Fund shares or dollar amount to be redeemed.  The Transfer Agent may request additional documentation from corporations, executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, agents or attorneys-in-fact.  Redemption proceeds may be wired to a commercial bank authorized on your account.  Please note that if you redeem shares by wire, you will be charged a $15 service fee.  If you have redeemed all of your shares, the wire fee would be deducted from the redemption proceeds.  If you have only redeemed a portion of your account, the fee will be deducted from the remaining balance in your account.  If the dollar amount requested to be redeemed is greater than the current value of your account, your entire account balance may be redeemed.

Shareholders that invest through an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income tax.  Redemption requests failing to indicate an election not to have tax withheld will generally be subject to 10% withholding.

Purchases In-Kind.  Shares of the Fund may be purchased “in kind,” subject to the approval of Frontegra and/or MFG Asset Management and its determination that the securities are acceptable investments for the Fund and that they have a value that is readily ascertainable in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.  In an in kind purchase, investors transfer securities to the Fund in exchange for Fund shares.  Securities accepted by the Fund in an in kind purchase will be valued at market value.  In general, an investor transferring securities for shares will recognize a gain or loss, for federal income tax purposes, on an in kind purchase of the Fund, calculated as if the investor had sold the securities for their fair market value and used the proceeds to purchase shares of the Fund.

Redemptions In-Kind.  The Fund reserves the right to make a “redemption in kind” (a payment in portfolio securities rather than cash) if the amount you are redeeming is in excess of the lesser of (i) $250,000 or (ii) 1% of the Fund’s assets.  In such cases, you may incur brokerage costs in converting these securities to cash and would bear any market risk until the securities are converted into cash.  For federal income tax purposes, redemptions in kind are taxed in the same manner as redemptions made in cash.  The subsequent sale of securities received in kind may also result in realized gains or losses for federal income tax purposes.

Redemption Fee.  A redemption fee of 2.00% will be charged on shares of the Fund redeemed (including in connection with an exchange) 30 days or less from their date of purchase.  The 30 day period during which shares are subject to the redemption fee commences on the day after the shares are purchased.  The redemption fee is paid directly to the Fund and is designed to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs associated with short-term trading of Fund shares.  For purposes of determining whether the redemption fee applies, the shares that were held the longest will be redeemed first.  The redemption fee does not apply to:

·

shares purchased through retirement plans in limited circumstances;

·

shares acquired through re-investments of Fund distributions; or

·

shares redeemed because of death or disability.

The Fund may waive the redemption fee in the case of hardship and in other limited circumstances with respect to certain types of redemptions or exchanges that do not indicate market timing strategies.



14





Signature Guarantees.  Signature guarantees are required in the following circumstances:

·

for redemption proceeds sent to any person, address or bank account not on record;

·

for requests to wire redemption proceeds (if not previously authorized on the account);

·

for redemption requests submitted within 30 days of an address change;

·

when changing account ownership; and

·

in other situations deemed necessary by the Transfer Agent or the Fund to protect against the possibility of fraud.

A signature guarantee may be obtained from any bank, savings and loan association, credit union, brokerage firm or other eligible guarantor institution, but not a notary public.  Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain services on an account, may require signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source, such as notarization from commercial banks or brokerage firms.

Account Termination.  Your account may be terminated by the Fund on not less than 30 days’ notice if the value of the shares in an account falls below $10,000 for Institutional Class shares, $1,000 for Service Class shares and $100 for Class Y shares as a result of redemptions.  Upon any such termination, a check for the redemption proceeds will be sent to the address of record within seven calendar days of the redemption.  A termination of your account by the Fund will result in the realization of a capital gain or loss determined by reference to the adjusted basis of the shares in the account terminated and the NAV of such shares on the date of the termination.

Householding.  In an effort to decrease costs, the Fund intends to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses and annual and semi-annual reports you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts, and to shareholders the Fund reasonably believes are from the same family or household.  If you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 888-825-2100 to request individual copies of these documents.  Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, the Fund will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request.  This policy does not apply to account statements.

Market Timing Policy.  The Fund or Frontegra may determine from the amount, frequency and pattern of exchanges that a shareholder is engaged in excessive trading that is detrimental to the Fund or its other shareholders.  Such short-term or excessive trading into and out of the Fund may harm all shareholders by disrupting investment strategies, increasing brokerage, administrative and other expenses, decreasing tax efficiency and diluting the value of shares held by long-term shareholders.

The Board has approved policies that seek to discourage frequent purchases and redemptions and curb the disruptive effects of frequent trading (the “Market Timing Policy”).  Pursuant to the Market Timing Policy, the Fund may decline to accept an application or may reject a purchase request, including an exchange, from a market timer or an investor who, in the Fund’s discretion in consultation with Frontegra or MFG Asset Management, has a pattern of short-term or excessive trading or whose trading has been or may be disruptive to the Fund.  In addition, the Fund reserves the right to reject any purchase, including an exchange, that could adversely affect the Fund or its operations.  The Fund, Frontegra, MFG Asset Management and their affiliates are prohibited from entering into arrangements with any shareholder or other person to permit frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares.



15





The Fund monitors and enforces the Market Timing Policy through:

·

the termination of a shareholder’s purchase and/or exchange privileges;

·

selective monitoring of trade activity;

·

the 2.00% redemption fee for redemptions or exchanges of shares 30 days or less after their date of purchase (determined on a first-in, first-out basis); and

·

regular reports to the Board by the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding any unusual trading activity and any waivers of the short-term redemption fee.

The Distributor or an affiliate has entered into shareholder information agreements with Financial Intermediaries, which enable the Distributor or an affiliate to request information to assist in monitoring for excessive short-term trading activity of individual shareholders within omnibus accounts.  Omnibus accounts are accounts maintained by Financial Intermediaries on behalf of multiple beneficial shareholders.  In some cases, the Fund may rely on the market timing policies of Financial Intermediaries, even if those policies are different from the Fund’s policy, when the Fund believes that the policies are reasonably designed to prevent excessive trading practices that are detrimental to the Fund.  If inappropriate trading is detected in an omnibus account, the Fund may request that the Financial Intermediary take action to prevent the underlying shareholder from engaging in such trading and to enforce the Fund’s or the Financial Intermediary’s market timing policy.  There may be legal and technological limitations on the ability of Financial Intermediaries to restrict the trading practices of their clients, and they may impose restrictions or limitations that are different from the Fund’s policies.  As a result, the Fund’s ability to monitor and discourage excessive trading practices in omnibus accounts may be limited.

DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICING ARRANGEMENTS

Shares of the Fund may be offered through Financial Intermediaries.  If you purchase Fund shares through a Financial Intermediary, you may be subject to different fees or policies than those set forth in this Prospectus.

Rule 12b-1 Fees (Class Y Shares Only).  The Company, on behalf of the Fund’s Class Y shares, has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “12b-1 Plan”).  Pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan, the Class Y shares pay an annual fee of up to 0.25% to the Distributor for payments to Financial Intermediaries who perform activities or incur expenses intended to result in the sale of Class Y shares of the Fund.  Because these fees are paid out of the Class Y shares’ assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost more than paying other types of sales charges.

Shareholder Servicing Fee (Service Class and Class Y Shares Only).  The Company, on behalf of the Fund’s Service Class and Class Y shares, has adopted a shareholder servicing plan (the “Service Plan”).  Pursuant to the Service Plan, the Service Class and Class Y shares of the Fund pay an annual shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.15% per year to the Distributor for payments to Financial Intermediaries who provide on-going account services to shareholders.  Those services include establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts, mailing prospectuses, account statements and other Fund documents to shareholders, processing shareholder transactions and providing other recordkeeping, sub-accounting and administrative services for Service Class and Class Y shareholders.



16





Payments to Financial Intermediaries.  From time to time, the Company, the Distributor or Frontegra may enter into arrangements with brokers or other Financial Intermediaries pursuant to which such parties agree to perform sub-transfer agent, record-keeping, shareholder servicing or other administrative services on behalf of their clients who are shareholders of the Fund.  Pursuant to these arrangements, the Distributor or Frontegra may make payments to Financial Intermediaries for services provided to clients who hold shares of the Fund.  In some circumstances, Institutional Class shares of the Fund may directly pay the intermediary for performing sub-transfer agent and other administrative services to clients who hold Institutional Class shares of the Fund through an omnibus account in an amount that is intended to compensate the intermediary for its provision of services of the type that are provided by the Transfer Agent.  Service Class and Class Y shares of the Fund pay a shareholder servicing fee as described above.

In addition, the Distributor or Frontegra may pay additional compensation to certain Financial Intermediaries.  Under these arrangements, the Distributor or Frontegra may make payments from their own resources, and not as an additional charge to the Fund, to a Financial Intermediary to compensate it for distribution and marketing services, including the opportunity to distribute the Fund.  For example, the Distributor or Frontegra may compensate Financial Intermediaries for providing the Fund with “shelf space” or access to a third party platform or fund offering list or other marketing programs, including, without limitation, inclusion of the Fund on preferred or recommended sales lists, mutual fund “supermarket” platforms, other formal sales programs and other forms of marketing support.  The amount of these payments is determined from time to time by the Distributor or Frontegra and may differ among such Financial Intermediaries based upon one or more of the following factors:  gross sales, current assets, the number of accounts of the Fund held by the Financial Intermediaries or other factors agreed to by the parties.  These payments are in addition to any distribution or service fees payable under the 12b-1 Plan or shareholder servicing arrangements as noted above.  The receipt of (or prospect of receiving) such compensation may provide the Financial Intermediary and its salespersons with an incentive to favor sales of Fund shares, or a particular class of those shares, over other investment alternatives.  You may wish to consider whether such arrangements exist when evaluating recommendations from an Financial Intermediary.

EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE

You may exchange all or a portion of your investment between classes or from one Frontier Fund to another Frontier Fund at any time by written request, if you meet the minimum investment requirements for the class and fund into which you would like to exchange, and if the class and fund are open to new investors.  The value of the shares to be exchanged and the price of the shares being purchased will be the NAV next determined after receipt of instructions for exchange in proper form.  An exchange from one fund to another is treated, for federal income tax purposes, as a sale of the shares to be exchanged at their NAV and a subsequent use of the sales proceeds to purchase the replacement shares, and will result in the realization of a capital gain or loss determined by reference to your adjusted basis in the shares to be exchanged and the NAV of those shares on the date of the exchange.  Exchanges are not tax-free.  However, a conversion from one class to another class within the same Fund will not be a taxable transaction.  

Exchange requests should be directed to:  Frontier Funds, Inc., c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-0701.  For written exchange requests sent via overnight delivery, please use 615 East Michigan Street, Third Floor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202-5207.  If your shares are held in an account with a Financial Intermediary, contact the Financial Intermediary.  A Financial Intermediary may impose conditions on exchanges in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus.



17





Exchange requests may be subject to limitations under the Market Timing Policy to ensure that the exchanges do not disadvantage the Fund or its shareholders.  The Company reserves the right to modify or terminate the exchange privilege upon 60 days’ written notice to each shareholder prior to the modification or termination taking effect.

If you exchange your shares in the Fund for shares in any other Frontier Fund, you may be subject to the redemption fee described above under “Your Account – Redemption Fee.”

VALUATION OF FUND SHARES

Shares of each class of the Fund are sold at their NAV.  The NAV for each class of the Fund is calculated using the market value of the Fund’s investments and is determined as of the close of trading (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open for business.  The Fund does not determine NAV on days the NYSE is closed.  The NYSE is closed on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  The price at which a purchase order or redemption request is effected is based on the next calculation of NAV after we receive your transaction request in good order.

In determining the Fund’s NAV, each equity security traded on a securities exchange, including NASDAQ, is valued at the closing price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded.  Exchange-traded securities for which there were no transactions on a given day are valued at the most recent bid price.  Securities not listed on a securities exchange are valued at the most recent sale price.  Short-term investments maturing within 60 days or less, which are not priced by a pricing service, may be valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.

Any securities or other assets for which market valuations are not readily available or are unreliable are valued at fair value as determined by Frontegra or MFG Asset Management in good faith and in accordance with procedures approved by the Board.  Consequently, the price of a security used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from the quoted or published price for the same security.  The Fund may use fair value pricing if, for example, trading in a particular security is halted and does not resume before the Fund calculates its NAV or the exchange on which a security is traded closes early.  Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

The Fund’s securities may be listed on foreign exchanges that trade on days when the Fund does not calculate NAV.  As a result, the market value of the Fund’s investments may change on days when you cannot purchase or sell Fund shares.  In addition, a foreign exchange may not value its listed securities at the same time that the Fund calculates its NAV.  If a significant event occurs in a foreign market after the close of the exchange that may affect a security’s value, such security may be valued at its fair value pursuant to the procedures discussed above.  The Fund has retained an independent fair value pricing service to assist in valuing foreign securities in order to adjust for possible changes in value that may occur between the close of the foreign exchange and the time at which the Fund calculates its NAV.  The fair value pricing service may employ quantitative models in determining fair value.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the Fund will be taxed.  If your account is not a tax-deferred retirement account or other tax-advantaged savings plan (or you are not otherwise exempt from income tax), you should be aware of the following federal income tax implications.



18





Taxes on Distributions.  The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain, if any, to shareholders at least annually.  For federal income tax purposes, distributions of the Fund’s investment company taxable income (which includes dividends, interest, the excess of any net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss, and net gains from foreign currency transactions) generally will be taxable to you as ordinary income whether reinvested in additional Fund shares or received in cash, unless such distributions are attributable to and reported by the Fund as “qualified dividend income” (generally, dividends received by the Fund from U.S. corporations and certain foreign corporations that are eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the U.S.) and the shareholder satisfies certain holding period requirements.  For non-corporate shareholders, “qualified dividend” income is currently eligible for the reduced federal income tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains.  Currently, the maximum federal income tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains, and thus to qualified dividend income, is 20%.

If the Fund distributes any net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss), then such distributions will be taxable as long-term capital gain, whether reinvested in additional Fund shares or received in cash, and regardless of the length of time you have owned your shares.  The Fund will inform shareholders of the federal income tax status of all distributions after the close of each calendar year.

When the Fund makes a distribution, the Fund’s NAV decreases by the amount of the distribution.  If you purchase shares shortly before a distribution, you will be subject to income taxes on the distribution, even though the value of your investment (plus cash, Fund Share, or in-kind securities received in the distribution, if any) remains the same.  The Fund expects that, because of its investment objective, its distributions will consist primarily of net capital gain.  All distributions will automatically be reinvested in shares of the Fund at the then prevailing NAV unless you specifically request that either distributions of investment company taxable income or net capital gain or both be paid in cash.  If you elect to receive distributions in cash, and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding for six months, the Fund reserves the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account, at the Fund’s then-current NAV, and to reinvest all subsequent distributions.

The election to receive distributions in cash or reinvest them may be changed by writing to:  Frontier Funds, Inc., c/o U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, P.O. Box 701, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53201-0701.  For overnight deliveries, please use 615 East Michigan Street, Third Floor, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53202-5207.  Such notice must be received at least five business days prior to the record date of any distribution.

Taxes on Sales, Redemptions and Exchanges.  Your sale, exchange or redemption of Fund shares will generally result in a taxable capital gain or loss to you, depending on whether the sale, exchange or redemption proceeds, including in-kind proceeds, are more or less than your adjusted basis in the sold, exchanged or redeemed shares (generally, the amount you paid for the shares).  Generally, the capital gain or loss will be long-term if you have held your Fund shares for more than one year and short-term if you have held your Fund shares for one year or less.  Any capital loss arising from the sale, exchange or redemption of Fund shares held for six months or less, however, is treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any distributions of net capital gain received or deemed to be received with respect to such shares.  As discussed above under “Exchange Privilege,” an exchange of Fund shares for shares in any other Frontier Fund generally will have similar tax consequences to a sale or redemption of Fund shares.  If you purchase Fund shares (through reinvestment of distributions or otherwise) within 30 days before or after selling, exchanging or redeeming Fund shares at a loss, all or part of that loss will not be deductible and will instead increase the basis of the new shares.

Medicare Tax.  In addition to the federal income tax, certain individuals, trusts and estates may be subject to a Medicare tax of 3.8%.  The Medicare tax is imposed on the lesser of (i) a taxpayer’s



19




investment income, net of deductions properly allocable to such income, or (ii) the amount by which the taxpayer’s modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds ($250,000 for married individuals filing jointly, $200,000 for unmarried individuals, and $125,000 for married individuals filing separately).  The Fund’s distributions are includable in a shareholder’s investment income for purposes of this Medicare tax.  In addition, any capital gain realized on the sale, exchange or redemption of Fund shares is includable in a shareholder’s investment income for purposes of this Medicare tax.

Withholding.  Except in cases of certain exempt shareholders, including most corporations, if you do not furnish the Fund with your correct Social Security Number or Taxpayer Identification Number or the Fund receives notification from the Internal Revenue Service requiring backup withholding, the Fund is required by federal law to withhold federal income tax from your distributions and redemption proceeds, currently at a rate of 28% for U.S. residents.

Foreign Tax Considerations.  Some foreign governments levy withholding taxes against dividend and interest income.  Although in some countries a portion of these taxes is recoverable, the non-recovered portion will reduce the return on the Fund’s securities.  The Fund may elect to pass through to you your pro rata share of foreign income taxes paid by the Fund if more than 50% of the value of the Fund’s total assets at the close of its taxable year consists of foreign stocks and securities.  The Fund will notify you if it makes such an election.

Cost Basis Reporting.  The Fund is required to report to certain shareholders and the IRS the cost basis of Fund shares acquired on or after January 1, 2012, when the shareholder subsequently sells, exchanges or redeems those shares.  The Fund will determine the cost basis of such shares using the average cost method unless you elect in writing any alternative IRS-approved cost basis method.  Please see the SAI for more information regarding cost basis reporting.

This section is not intended to be a full discussion of federal income tax laws and the effect of such laws on you.  There may be other federal, state, foreign or local tax considerations applicable to a particular investor.  You are urged to consult your own tax adviser.

Please see the SAI for more information about taxes.
