Performance Information

The bar chart and table that follow provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the performance of the Fund from year to year and by showing how the Fund’s average annual returns compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Updated performance information is available at www.baywoodfunds.com or by calling (855) 409-2297 (toll free).

 

A collective investment trust managed by the Fund’s Advisor and portfolio management team (“Predecessor Fund”) was reorganized into the Fund on the date the Fund commenced operations (i.e., on December 1, 2013). The collective investment trust had an investment objective and strategies that were, in all material respects, identical to those of the Fund, and was managed in a manner that, in all material respects, complied with the investment guidelines and restrictions of the Fund. The collective investment trust, however, was not registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), and the collective investment trust was not subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, liquidity requirements, and other restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 which, if applicable, may have adversely affected its performance.

 

The Fund’s performance for periods prior to the commencement of operations is that of the Institutional Shares of the collective investment trust, which commenced operations on May 2, 2011. The performance of the collective investment trust has not been restated to reflect the fees, estimated expenses and fee waivers and/or expense limitations applicable to the Fund. If the performance of the collective investment trust had been restated to reflect the applicable fees and expenses of the Fund, the performance may have been higher or lower than the performance shown in the bar chart and Average Annual Total Returns table below.

 

Performance information (before and after taxes) represents only past performance and does not necessarily indicate future results.

[2] Institutional Shares commenced operations on May 2, 2011. Performance for the period is a blended average annual return which includes the returns of Investor Shares (inception date June 27, 2008) prior to the commencement of operations of Institutional Shares.

Due to regulatory changes, effective September 1, 2024, the Fund changed its primary benchmark index from the Morningstar US Large Value TR Index to the Morningstar US Market TR Index. The Fund retained the Morningstar US Large Value TR Index as a secondary benchmark because the Morningstar US Large Value TR Index more closely aligns with the Fund’s investment strategies and investments restrictions.

Morningstar US Large Value TR Index measures the performance of stocks issued by large-capitalization companies that have exhibited above-average “value” characteristics as determined by Morningstar, Inc.’s proprietary index methodology.

 

Morningstar US Market TR Index is a diversified, broad-market index that targets 97% market capitalization coverage of the U.S. stock market.

 

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-advantaged arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts.

 

The return after taxes on distributions and sale of Fund shares may exceed the return before taxes due to an assumed tax benefit from any losses on a sale of Fund shares at the end of the measurement period.

The returns presented for the Fund prior to January 8, 2016 reflect the performance of the City National Rochdale Socially Responsible Equity Fund, a series of the City National Rochdale Funds (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Fund has adopted the historical performance of the Predecessor Fund as the result of a reorganization in which the Fund acquired all the assets, subject to liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund, effective as of the close of business on January 8, 2016.

 

The Predecessor Fund was sub-advised by the Fund’s advisor, SKBA Capital Management, LLC, with the same portfolio managers as the Fund. The Fund is managed in a manner that is in all material respects equivalent to the management of the Predecessor Fund, including the investment objective, strategies, guidelines, and restrictions. The Predecessor Fund was created for purposes entirely unrelated to the establishment of a performance record. The Predecessor Fund qualified since its inception, and the Fund intends to continue to qualify each year, for treatment as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.
