WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
November 17, 2023
Dear Shareholder,
We are sending this information to you because you are a shareholder of the 1919 Financial Services Fund, 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund, 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund and/or 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (each, a “Target Fund,” and together, the “Target Funds”), each a series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (“TAP Trust”) advised by 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (“1919ic” or the “Adviser”). After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of TAP Trust (the “TAP Board”) has determined that it is in the best interests of the Target Funds to reorganize and merge the Target Funds into newly created series (each, an “Acquiring Fund,” and together, the “Acquiring Funds”) of Advisor Managed Portfolios (“AMP Trust”), each with the same name as the corresponding Target Fund. These transactions will be referred to individually as a “Reorganization,” and together, as the “Reorganizations.”
Shares of the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund are offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to qualified retirement and pension plans. The policyholders who are owners of the separate accounts are not direct shareholders of the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund. However, for ease of reference, shareholders of the 1919 Financial Services Fund, 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund, 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund and policyholders invested in the 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund are collectively referred to in this Information Statement/Prospectus as “shareholders.”
Once the Reorganizations occur, the Acquiring Funds will continue to be managed by 1919ic and will have the same management styles, investment restrictions and portfolio managers responsible for day-to-day management as were in place for the Target Funds. The Board has determined that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of the Target Funds and their shareholders, and that the interests of the Target Funds’ shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.
Importantly, the Reorganizations will not result in any change to the Target Funds’ fees and expenses, investment objectives, principal investment strategies and risks, or portfolio management teams.
Following the Reorganizations, the advisory agreement and fundamental policies of each Acquiring Fund will not be materially different from those of the respective Target Fund. Furthermore, the independent members of the TAP Board comprise a majority of the independent members of the Board of Trustees of AMP Trust. In addition, with regard to the Reorganizations of the Class A and Class C shares of the 1919 Financial Services Fund, 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund and 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund, AMP Trust, on behalf of the applicable Acquiring Funds, will adopt a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) that is substantially similar to the plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 that is currently in place for the Class A and Class C shares of the 1919 Financial Services Fund, 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund and 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund, and the Rule 12b-1 distribution fees applicable to Class A and Class C shares of the applicable Acquiring Funds will be identical to the Rule 12b-1 distribution fees applicable to Class A and Class C shares of the corresponding Target Funds. As a result, we are not seeking shareholder approval for Reorganization and we are not requesting a proxy from you.
The enclosed Information Statement/Prospectus contains information about the Reorganizations. As a result of the Reorganizations, shareholders of each Target Fund will receive shares of the corresponding share class of the Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the Target Fund owned immediately prior to the Reorganizations.
In evaluating each Reorganization proposal, the TAP Board considered the pending litigation against TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of TAP Trust and determined, among other things, that the Reorganizations may enable the Acquiring Funds to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target Funds, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for the Acquiring Funds’ shareholders in the future, and to avoid any negative impact for the Target Funds relating to the pending litigation, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the TAP Board. With respect to economies of scale, it is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than TAP Trust, which would enable each series of AMP Trust, including the Acquiring



Funds, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than TAP Trust. Each Reorganization is structured to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
This document is provided for information only because shareholder approval is not required to effectuate the Reorganizations for the Target Funds under TAP Trust’s operating documents, and applicable Delaware state and U.S. federal law (including the 1940 Act).
You are encouraged to carefully review the enclosed materials, which explain the Reorganizations in more detail. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact 1919ic at 1-844‑828‑1919.

/s/ Russell B. Simon

INFORMATION STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
DATED November 17, 2023
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY
AND YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY
This Information Statement/Prospectus (the “Information Statement/Prospectus”) is furnished to you as a shareholder of 1919 Financial Services Fund (“Target Financial Services Fund”), 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (“Target Socially Responsive Fund”), 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund (“Target Maryland Fund”) and/or 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the “Target Variable Fund”) (each a “Target Fund” and together, the “Target Funds”), each a series of Trust for Advised Portfolios (“TAP Trust”) advised by 1919 Investment Counsel, LLC (“1919ic or the “Adviser”). After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of TAP Trust (the “TAP Board”), including all of the Independent Trustees of TAP Trust, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Target Funds to reorganize and merge each Target Fund into corresponding acquiring funds, the 1919 Financial Services Fund (“Acquiring Financial Services Fund”), 1919 Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (“Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund”), 1919 Maryland Tax-Free Fund (“Acquiring Maryland Fund”) and 1919 Variable Socially Responsive Balanced Fund (the “Acquiring Variable Fund”), each a newly created series (each an “Acquiring Fund,” and together the “Acquiring Funds”) of Advisor Managed Portfolios (“AMP Trust”). Each transaction will be referred to as a “Reorganization”, or together as the “Reorganizations”, and the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds may be referred to together as the “Funds” or a “Fund”.
Shares of the Target Variable Fund are offered only to insurance company separate accounts that fund certain variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to qualified retirement and pension plans. The policyholders who are owners of the separate accounts are not direct shareholders of the Target Variable Fund. However, for ease of reference, shareholders of the Target Financial Services Fund, Target Socially Responsive Fund, Target Maryland Fund and policyholders invested in the Target Variable Fund are collectively referred to in this Information Statement/Prospectus as “shareholders.”
Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment objectives, investment strategies, restrictions, and risks, and there will be no change in investment adviser or portfolio managers. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring
    


Fund have identical share class structures. Importantly, the Reorganizations will not result in any increase in fees or expenses for the Funds.
The TAP Board has approved the Reorganizations and has determined that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of each Target Fund and its shareholders.
Each Reorganization is expected to close on or about December 1, 2023 (the “Closing Date”). The Acquiring Funds will open for trading on December 4, 2023.
This Information Statement/Prospectus sets forth concisely the information you should know about the Reorganization of each Target Fund and constitutes an offering of the shares of each Acquiring Fund issued in the corresponding Reorganization. Please read it carefully and retain it for future reference.

Table of Contents

    


OVERVIEW
This Information Statement/Prospectus relates to the Reorganizations of the Target Funds, each a series of TAP Trust, into the corresponding Acquiring Fund, each a series of AMP Trust. TAP Trust and AMP Trust are each an open-end management investment company registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. 1919ic serves as investment adviser to the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds.
Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are identical in all material respects. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have the same investment objectives, fees and expenses, investment strategies, investment policies, and investment risks. Additionally, 1919ic provides day-to-day management of the portfolios for each of the Funds. The Funds have identical distribution and purchase procedures and exchange rights and redemption procedures. The Reorganizations are structured to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The TAP Board has determined that, in light of the pending litigation against TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of the Trust, the Reorganizations may enable the Acquiring Funds to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target Funds, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for the Acquiring Funds’ shareholders in the future, and to avoid any negative impact for the Target Funds relating to the pending litigation, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the TAP Board. With respect to economies of scale, it is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than TAP Trust, which would enable each series of AMP Trust, including the Acquiring Funds, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than TAP Trust.
Shareholders of the Target Funds are not required to approve the Reorganizations. Section 7.2 of Article VII of TAP Trust’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust permits TAP Trust, unless otherwise required by law, to cause any series of TAP Trust to be merged or consolidated with or into a series of any other investment company without shareholder approval. The Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds are all advised by 1919ic, and the Reorganizations are considered to be a merger of affiliated companies for purposes of Rule 17a-8 under the 1940 Act. Rule 17a-8(3) permits the merger of affiliated companies without obtaining shareholder approval if: (i) no fundamental policy of the merging company is materially different from the fundamental policies of the surviving company; (ii) no advisory contract between the merging company is materially different from an advisory contract of the surviving company; (iii) trustees of the merging company who are not interested persons of the merging company and who were elected by its shareholders will comprise a majority of the trustees of the surviving company who are not interested persons of the surviving company; and (iv) any distribution fees authorized to be paid by the surviving company pursuant to Rule 12b-1 are no greater than the distribution fees of the merging company. As discussed in detail in the Information Statement/Prospectus, each Reorganization meets the criteria set forth in Rule 17a-8(3). Furthermore, the TAP Board, including all Independent Trustees, has determined that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of the Target Funds and their shareholders, and that the interests of the Target Funds’ shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganizations.
COMPARISON OF INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, STRATEGIES, RISKS AND RESTRICTIONS
There are no differences in the investment objectives, investment strategies, investment restrictions, or investment risks between the each Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The same portfolio managers will continue to manage the corresponding Acquiring Funds. Each Fund’s investment objective is not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.
Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund
Investment Objective of the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund
The investment objective for both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund
The investment strategies for both the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund are as follows:
Under normal circumstances, each Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of issuers in the financial services industry that the Adviser believes are undervalued and thus may offer above-average potential for capital appreciation. Issuers in the financial services industry include companies that derive more than 50% of their revenues from providing products and services to the financial services industry, including software, hardware, publishing, news services, credit research and ratings services, internet services and business services. Each Fund may invest in securities of companies of any market capitalization.
1


The Adviser analyzes an issuer’s financial statements to determine earnings per share potential and reviews, as appropriate, the economy where the issuer does business, the products offered, the issuer’s potential to benefit from industry changes and the strength and goals of management.
Each Fund may invest its assets in securities of foreign financial services companies, including companies in emerging market countries. Each Fund may invest in fixed income securities, including high yield securities or “junk bonds.” Each Fund may invest in shares of open-end funds or unit investment trusts that are traded on a stock exchange, called exchange traded funds (“ETFs”).
Each Fund may engage in a variety of transactions using derivatives, such as futures and options on securities, securities indexes or currencies; options on these futures; interest rate or currency swaps; and forward foreign currency transactions for any of the following purposes: to settle transactions in securities quoted in foreign currencies; as a hedging technique in an attempt to manage risk in each Fund’s portfolio; as a substitute for buying or selling securities, as a cash flow management technique, and to manage its exposure to foreign securities.
Principal Investment Risks of the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Funds. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which it appears, and could affect the value of your investment.
The principal investment risks for both the Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund are as follows:
Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general economic conditions, the actions of the United States and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.
Credit risk. If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Financial Services Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Financial Services Fund could decline. If the Financial Services Fund enters into financial contracts (such as certain derivatives, repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the Financial Services Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Financial Services Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Financial Services Fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Financial Services Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Derivatives risk. The use of derivative instruments exposes the Financial Services Fund to additional risks and transaction costs. These instruments come in many varieties and have a wide range of potential risks and rewards and may include futures contracts, options (both written and purchased), swaps and forward currency exchange contracts. A risk of the Financial Services Fund’s use of derivatives is that the fluctuations in their values may not correlate perfectly with the overall securities markets.
ETF risk. Investing in an ETF will give the Financial Services Fund exposure to the securities comprising the index on which the ETF is based and will expose the Fund to risks similar to those of investing directly in those securities. Unlike shares of typical mutual funds or unit investment trusts, shares of ETFs are traded on an exchange and may trade throughout a trading day. ETFs are bought and sold based on market values and not at net asset value, and therefore, may trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. The Financial Services Fund will indirectly bear its proportionate share of the management fees and other expenses that are charged by the ETF in addition to the management fees and other expenses directly incurred by the Financial Services Fund. As a result, with respect to the Financial Services Fund’s investment in ETFs, shareholders will be subject to two layers of fees and expenses in connection with their investment in the Financial Services Fund. The Financial Services Fund will also pay brokerage commissions in connection with the purchase and sale of shares of ETFs.
Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline. This may cause the Financial Services Fund’s share prices to be more volatile.
Financial services companies risk. The Financial Services Fund is subject to the risk of concentrating investments in financial services companies, which makes it more susceptible to factors adversely affecting issuers within that industry than would a fund investing in a more diversified portfolio of securities. Economic downturns, credit losses and severe price competition can negatively
    Information Statement/Prospectus    2


affect this industry. The profitability of financial services companies is dependent on the availability and cost of capital and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change. Financial services companies are also subject to extensive government regulation. The impact of recent legislation on any individual company or on the industry as a whole cannot be predicted.
Fixed income securities risk. Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Financial Services Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline. These risks are heightened with respect to high yield securities.
Foreign investments and emerging markets risk. The Financial Services Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Financial Services Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Financial Services Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Financial Services Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk. Some assets held by the Financial Services Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. If the Financial Services Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Financial Services Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Prepayment or call risk. Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if the Financial Services Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, the Financial Services Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if the Financial Services Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Financial Services Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry or sector or about market movements is incorrect.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Financial Services Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    3


Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Financial Services Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the Financial Services Fund’s investments in equity securities may decline generally. Equity securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Financial Services Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Financial Services Fund will decline. Volatility in the securities market may make it more difficult for the Financial Services Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. Market volatility may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the value of securities owned by the Financial Services Fund and the net asset value (“NAV”) of its shares.
Tax risk. If positions held by the Financial Services Fund were treated as “straddles” for federal income tax purposes, or the Financial Services Fund’s risk of loss with respect to a position was otherwise diminished as set forth in Treasury regulations, dividends on stocks that are a part of such positions would not constitute qualified dividend income subject to such favorable income tax treatment in the hands of non-corporate shareholders or eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporate shareholders. In addition, generally, straddles are subject to certain rules that may affect the amount, character and timing of the Financial Services Fund’s gains and losses with respect to straddle positions.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Financial Services Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Financial Services Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem Financial Services Fund shares on days when the Financial Services Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Financial Services Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Value investing risk. The value approach to investing involves the risk that stocks may remain undervalued. Value stocks may underperform the overall equity market while the market concentrates on growth stocks.
Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund
Investment Objective of the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund
The investment objective for both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is to provide high total return consisting of capital appreciation and current income.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund
The investment strategies for both the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund are as follows:
Each Fund invests in a mix of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies of any market capitalization and fixed income securities which are primarily investment grade and may be of any maturity and any duration. Under normal circumstances, each Fund will maintain at least 65% of the value of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of the value of its assets in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities include asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Each Fund may invest up to 25% (and generally less than 15%) in foreign securities, including those of issuers in emerging market countries. Each Fund emphasizes companies that offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate an awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.
The portfolio managers consider whether, relative to other companies in an industry, a company that meets these investment criteria is also sensitive to environmental and social issues related to its products, services, or methods of doing business.
Socially responsive factors considered are:
Fair and reasonable employment practices, with due consideration of a diverse workforce
Contributions to the general well-being of the citizens of its host communities and countries and respect for human rights
Efforts and strategies to minimize the negative impact of business activities and to preserve the earth’s ecological heritage with those environmental policies, practices and procedures that are currently acceptable, or are exhibiting improvement
Exposure to fossil fuel real assets including oil, gas and coal
Avoidance of investments in companies that:

Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production or sales of tobacco
The portfolio managers perform their own independent review of issuers based on the above factors and every investment each Fund makes is reviewed against these factors (excluding securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies). In conducting this review, portfolio managers will seek to understand the business profile of an issuer and to identify any concerns relating to the above factors relative to established industry norms. This review is a fundamental, qualitative analysis based on third-party data, publicly available information and issuer disclosures and is not based on any pre-established quantitative screens with respect to any particular data.
With respect to “fair and reasonable employment practices,” the portfolio managers will assess whether a company has public labor relations issues, such as lawsuits, workplace accidents, or union-related disputes. In considering a company’s “contribution to the general well-being of citizens,” the portfolio managers assess whether a company has existing conflicts or controversies with the communities or citizens thereof in which it operates. Similarly, in assessing whether a company’s business activities have a “negative impact,” the portfolio managers review whether a company has had disclosed or public controversies or conflicts with respect to its local environment.
Each Fund also assesses control of or exposure to fossil fuel real assets by evaluating a company’s ownership interest in oil, gas, and/or coal assets and to what degree the company’s business is dependent on the extraction, transportation, processing, and/or distribution of oil, gas, and/or coal. In making these assessments, the portfolio managers may review sources of revenue, capital expense, planned and implemented investments, company strategic direction or other relevant factors.
Socially responsive factors are not the exclusive considerations in investment decisions but companies that are not, in the view of the portfolio managers, satisfying the above factors -- or making efforts to satisfy the above factors -- consistent with applicable industry norms will not be purchased. These portfolio restrictions are based on the belief that a company will benefit from being socially responsive by enabling it to better position itself in developing business opportunities while avoiding liabilities that may be incurred when a product or service is determined to have a negative social impact.
The portfolio managers will use their best efforts to assess a company’s environmental and social performance. This means that there is no guarantee that the Adviser’s research process will uncover material factors that a company fails to disclose. This analysis will be based on a company’s present activities, and will not preclude securities solely because of past activities. The portfolio managers will monitor the related progress or deterioration of each company in which each Fund invests. The Adviser will sell a portfolio security that no longer meets the factors described above, but such a decision may also be based on the Adviser’s fundamental equity and fixed income research process.
Principal Investment Risks of the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Funds. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which it appears, and could affect the value of your investment.
The principal investment risks for both the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund are as follows:
Credit risk. If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Socially Responsive Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Fund could decline. If the Socially Responsive Fund enters into financial contracts (such as repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the Socially Responsive Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Socially Responsive Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Socially Responsive Fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Currency risk. The value of investments in securities denominated in foreign currencies increases or decreases as the rates of exchange between those currencies and the U.S. dollar change. Currency conversion costs and currency fluctuations could erase investment gains or add to investment losses. Currency exchange rates can be volatile, and are affected by factors such as general
    Information Statement/Prospectus    5


economic conditions, the actions of the United States and foreign governments or central banks, the imposition of currency controls and speculation.
Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities, particularly asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline more than they would have declined due to the rise in interest rates alone. This may cause the Socially Responsive Fund’s share price to be more volatile.
Fixed income securities risk. Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline.
Foreign investments and emerging market risk. The Socially Responsive Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Socially Responsive Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Socially Responsive Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk. Some assets held by the Socially Responsive Fund may be impossible or difficult to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. These illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. If the Socially Responsive Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Socially Responsive Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Socially Responsive Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Socially Responsive Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and other Asset-Backed Securities risk. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Mortgage-backed securities may be
    Information Statement/Prospectus    6


issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or may be issued by private issuers, generally originators in mortgage loans, including savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers, and special purpose entities (collectively, “private lenders”). The purchase of mortgage-backed securities from private lenders may entail greater risk than mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Mortgage-backed securities risks include the failure of a party to meet its commitments under the related operative documents, adverse interest rate changes and the effects of prepayments on mortgage cash flows.
Asset-backed securities are securities backed by credit card receivables, automobile loans or other assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which have given debtors the right to reduce the balance due on the credit cards. Asset-backed securities may be subject to greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other instruments.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) risk. RMBS are subject to delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower’s financial circumstances. Subprime loans are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their loans. RMBS backed by subprime loans may suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults or the increased risk of default.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector or region, or about market movements is incorrect.
Prepayment or call risk. Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if the Socially Responsive Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, the Socially Responsive Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if the Socially Responsive Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Socially Responsive Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Socially responsive criteria risk. The Socially Responsive Fund’s universe of investments may be smaller than that of other funds because of the Socially Responsive Fund’s socially responsive criteria. Socially responsive companies may underperform similar companies without socially responsive policies or the market as a whole. They may also fall out of favor with investors. The Socially Responsive Fund’s socially responsive criteria may also prevent investment in certain attractive opportunities that would be otherwise consistent with the Socially Responsive Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies.
Socially responsive information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s socially responsive characteristics. Additionally, the third-party data providers may differ in the data they provide for a given company or industry, and such data may only take into account one of many socially responsive characteristics of a company.
Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the Socially Responsive Fund’s investments in equity securities may decline generally. Equity securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Socially Responsive Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Socially Responsive Fund will decline.
Volatility in the securities market may make it more difficult for the Socially Responsive Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. Market volatility may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the value of securities owned by the Socially Responsive Fund and the NAV of its shares.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Socially Responsive Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Socially Responsive Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the Socially Responsive Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Socially Responsive Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.

Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund
Investment Objective of the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund
The investment objective for both the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes, consistent with prudent investment risk and preservation of capital.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund
The investment strategies for both the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund are as follows:
Each Fund invests primarily in debt instruments issued by or on behalf of the State of Maryland, its political subdivisions, municipalities, agencies, instrumentalities or public authorities, the interest on which, in the opinion of counsel to the issuers of those instruments, is exempt from federal and Maryland state and local income taxes. Securities considered for investment must be investment grade (that is securities rated in the Baa/BBB categories or above, or if unrated, determined to be of comparable credit quality by the Adviser). Each Fund may invest 25% or more of its total assets in a particular segment of the municipal securities market, such as hospital revenue bonds, housing agency bonds, private activity bonds or airport bonds, or in securities the interest on which is paid from revenues of a similar type of project. Under normal circumstances, each Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from Maryland state and local taxes and is not considered an item of tax preference for the purpose of the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) that is applicable to non-corporate investors.
Each Fund may invest in securities of any maturity. The portfolio managers anticipate that the dollar‑weighted average maturity for each Fund will be in the long-intermediate-term to long-term range (generally from 7 to 20 years) although, at times, depending on the portfolio managers’ market outlook, the average maturity may be somewhat longer or shorter than this. The tax consequences of trading activity are always considered.
The portfolio managers analyze each sector and issuer under consideration for the portfolio to determine its credit fundamentals and outlook. Issuers are scrutinized not only for their ability to make timely interest and principal payments, but for the stability of their financial position and ratings.
Securities may be sold because their credit fundamentals have changed or in order to buy a security that the portfolio managers believe will produce greater risk-adjusted returns.
Each Fund is classified as “non-diversified” under the 1940 Act, which means it may invest a larger percentage of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund. However, each Fund intends to satisfy the asset diversification requirements for qualification as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
Principal Investment Risks of the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Funds. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which it appears, and could affect the value of your investment.
The principal investment risks for both the Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund are as follows:
Credit risk. If an issuer or guarantor of a security held by the Maryland Fund or a counterparty to a financial contract with the Maryland Fund defaults or is downgraded, or is perceived to be less creditworthy, or if the value of the assets underlying a security declines, the value of your investment will typically decline. The Maryland Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in securities that are not general obligations of a state. These may be issued by local governments or public authorities and may vary significantly from the state’s general obligations. They may also not be backed by the taxing power of the government unit that issued them.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Maryland Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security.
Illiquid investment risk. Some securities held by the Maryland Fund may be difficult to sell, or illiquid, particularly during times of market turmoil. Illiquid securities may also be difficult to value. If the Maryland Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    8


Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Maryland Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Maryland Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Market and interest rate risk. The market prices of the Maryland Fund’s securities may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, inflation, changes in interest rates, lack of liquidity in the bond markets or adverse investor sentiment. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. When market prices fall, the value of your investment will go down. The value of your investment may also go down when interest rates rise. A rise in rates tends to have a greater impact on the prices of longer term or duration securities. The U.S. credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than five years. Instability in the credit markets has made it more difficult for a number of issuers of debt securities to obtain financing or refinancing for their investment or lending activities or operations. In particular, because of volatile conditions in the credit markets, issuers of debt securities may be subject to increased cost for debt, tightening underwriting standards and reduced liquidity for loans they make, securities they purchase and securities they issue. These developments may increase the volatility of the value of securities owned by the Fund. These developments may also make it more difficult for the Maryland Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. These developments may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the ability of issuers of securities owned by the Maryland Fund to make payments of principal and interest when due, lead to lower credit ratings of issuers and increased defaults by issuers. Such developments could, in turn, reduce the value of securities owned by the Maryland Fund and adversely affect the NAV of its shares.
Maryland municipal securities risk. The Maryland Fund focuses its investments on Maryland municipal securities and may be affected significantly by adverse economic or political developments or other events affecting Maryland obligors. Also, the Maryland Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diverse fund.
Municipal securities risk. Municipal issuers may be adversely affected by rising health care costs, increasing unfunded pension liabilities, and by the phasing out of federal programs providing financial support. Unfavorable conditions and developments relating to projects financed with municipal securities can result in lower revenues to issuers of municipal securities. Issuers often depend on revenues from these projects to make principal and interest payments. The value of municipal securities can also be adversely affected by changes in the financial condition of one or more individual municipal issuers or insurers of municipal issuers, regulatory and political developments, tax law changes or other legislative actions, and by uncertainties and public perceptions concerning these and other factors. In addition, some local jurisdictions have invested heavily in derivative instruments and may hold portfolios of uncertain valuation. These developments could reduce the value of all municipal securities or the securities of particular issuers or reduce the attractiveness of investing in municipal instruments as compared to taxable instruments. In recent periods an increasing number of municipal issuers in the United States have defaulted on obligations and commenced insolvency proceedings. Financial difficulties of municipal issuers may continue or get worse.
Non-diversification risk. To the extent the Maryland Fund invests its assets in a smaller number of issuers, the Maryland Fund will be more susceptible to negative events affecting those issuers than a diversified fund.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the quality, relative yield, value or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector, or region, or about interest rates is incorrect.
Sector focus risk. The Maryland Fund may focus a significant portion of its investments in a single sector of the municipal securities market. In doing so, the Maryland Fund is more susceptible to factors adversely affecting that sector than would be a fund not following this practice. In addition, the Maryland Fund may invest in securities issued by hospitals and other healthcare providers. Pressure to reduce expenses and to limit lengths of stay and significant changes in federal healthcare policies may adversely affect the financial health of some hospitals.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    9


Tax risk. The income on the Maryland Fund’s municipal securities could become subject to regular federal income or Maryland state personal income taxes due to noncompliant conduct by issuers, unfavorable legislation or litigation or adverse interpretations by regulatory authorities. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Maryland Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Maryland Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem fund shares on days when the Maryland Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Maryland Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund
Investment Objective of the Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund
The investment objective for both the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund is to seek capital appreciation and retention of net investment income.
Principal Investment Strategies of the Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund
The investment strategies for both the Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund are as follows:
Each Fund invests in a mix of common stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies of any market capitalization and fixed income securities which are primarily investment grade and may be of any maturity and any duration. Under normal circumstances, each Fund will maintain at least 65% of the value of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of the value of its assets in fixed income securities. Fixed income securities include asset- and mortgage-backed securities. Each Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in equity and debt securities of foreign issuers, including issuers in emerging market countries. Each Fund emphasizes companies that offer both attractive investment opportunities and demonstrate an awareness of their impact on the society in which they operate.
The portfolio managers consider whether, relative to other companies in an industry, a company that meets these investment criteria is also sensitive to environmental and social issues related to its products, services, or methods of doing business.
Socially responsive factors considered are:
Fair and reasonable employment practices, with due consideration of a diverse workforce
Contributions to the general well-being of the citizens of its host communities and countries and respect for human rights
Efforts and strategies to minimize the negative impact of business activities and to preserve the earth’s ecological heritage with those environmental policies, practices and procedures that are currently acceptable, or are exhibiting improvement
Exposure to fossil fuel real assets including oil, gas and coal
Avoidance of investments in companies that:
Manufacture nuclear weapons or other weapons of mass destruction
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production and sale of non-nuclear weaponry
Derive more than 5% of their revenue from the production or sales of tobacco
The portfolio managers perform their own independent review of issuers based on the above factors and every investment each Fund makes is reviewed against these factors (excluding securities issued by the U.S. Government or its agencies). In conducting this review, portfolio managers will seek to understand the business profile of an issuer and to identify any concerns relating to the above factors relative to established industry norms. This review is a fundamental, qualitative analysis based on third-party data, publicly available information and issuer disclosures and is not based on any pre-established quantitative screens with respect to any particular data.
With respect to “fair and reasonable employment practices,” the portfolio managers will assess whether a company has public labor relations issues, such as lawsuits, workplace accidents, or union-related disputes. In considering a company’s “contribution to the general well-being of citizens,” the portfolio managers assess whether a company has existing conflicts or controversies with the communities or citizens thereof in which it operates. Similarly, in assessing whether a company’s business activities have a “negative impact,” the portfolio managers review whether a company has had disclosed or public controversies or conflicts with respect to its local environment.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    10


Each Fund also assesses control of or exposure to fossil fuel real assets by evaluating a company’s ownership interest in oil, gas, and/or coal assets and to what degree the company’s business is dependent on the extraction, transportation, processing, and/or distribution of oil, gas, and/or coal. In making these assessments, the portfolio managers may review sources of revenue, capital expense, planned and implemented investments, company strategic direction or other relevant factors.
Socially responsive factors are not the exclusive considerations in investment decisions but companies that are not, in the view of the portfolio managers, satisfying the above factors -- or making efforts to satisfy the above factors -- consistent with applicable industry norms will not be purchased. These portfolio restrictions are based on the belief that a company will benefit from being socially responsive by enabling it to better position itself in developing business opportunities while avoiding liabilities that may be incurred when a product or service is determined to have a negative social impact.
Each Fund believes that there is a direct correlation between companies that demonstrate an acute awareness of their impact on the society within which they operate and companies that offer attractive long-term investment potential. Each Fund believes that actively addressing environmental and social issues can translate into sound business. Each Fund will use its best efforts to assess a company’s environmental and social performance. The Adviser will monitor the related progress or deterioration of each company in which each Fund invests. The Adviser will sell a portfolio security that no longer meets the factors described above, but such a decision may also be based on the Adviser’s fundamental equity and fixed income research process.
Principal Investment Risks of the Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund
Losing all or a portion of your investment is a risk of investing in the Funds. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit with a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Each risk summarized below is considered a principal risk of investing in the Funds, regardless of the order in which it appears, and could affect the value of your investment.
The principal risks for the Target Variable Fund and Acquiring Variable Fund are as follows:
Cash management and defensive investing risk. The value of the investments held by the Fund for cash management or defensive investing purposes can fluctuate. Like other fixed income securities, they are subject to risk, including market, interest rate and credit risk.
Credit risk. If an obligor (such as the issuer itself or a party offering credit enhancement) for a security held by the Fund fails to pay, otherwise defaults, is perceived to be less creditworthy, becomes insolvent or files for bankruptcy, a security’s credit rating is downgraded or the credit quality or value of any underlying assets declines, the value of your investment in the Fund could decline. If the Fund enters into financial contracts (such as repurchase agreements, reverse repurchase agreements, and when-issued, delayed delivery and forward commitment transactions), the Fund will be subject to the credit risk presented by the counterparty. In addition, the Fund may incur expenses in an effort to protect the Fund’s interests or to enforce its rights. Credit risk is broadly gauged by the credit ratings of the securities in which the Fund invests. However, ratings are only the opinions of the companies issuing them and are not guarantees as to quality. Securities rated in the lowest category of investment grade (Baa/BBB) may possess certain speculative characteristics.
Extension risk. When interest rates rise, repayments of fixed income securities, particularly asset- and mortgage-backed securities, may occur more slowly than anticipated, extending the effective duration of these fixed income securities at below market interest rates and causing their market prices to decline more than they would have declined due to the rise in interest rates alone. This may cause the Fund’s share price to be more volatile.
Fixed income securities risk. Fixed income securities are subject to a number of risks, including credit, market and interest rate risks. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer or obligor will not make timely payments of principal and interest. Changes in an issuer’s credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of the Fund’s investment in that issuer. Market risk is the risk that the fixed income markets may become volatile and less liquid, and the market value of an investment may move up or down, sometimes quickly or unpredictably. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a fixed income security will fall when interest rates rise. In general, the longer the maturity and the lower the credit quality of a fixed income security, the more likely its value will decline.
Foreign investments and emerging market risk. The Fund’s investments in securities of foreign issuers or issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets involve additional risk. Foreign countries in which the Fund may invest may have markets that are less liquid, less regulated and more volatile than U.S. markets. The value of the Fund’s investments may decline because of factors affecting the particular issuer as well as foreign markets and issuers generally, such as unfavorable government actions, and political or financial instability. Lack of information may also affect the value of these securities.
The risks of foreign investments are heightened when investing in issuers in emerging market countries. Emerging market countries tend to have economic, political and legal systems that are less fully developed and are less stable than those of more developed
    Information Statement/Prospectus    11


countries. They are often particularly sensitive to market movements because their market prices tend to reflect speculative expectations. Low trading volumes may result in a lack of liquidity and in extreme price volatility. In addition to the lack of liquidity, as compared to domestic investments, emerging market investments also face risks related to market manipulation, limited reliable access to capital, political risk, atypical foreign investment structures, lack of shareholder rights and remedies, and incomplete or inaccurate auditing and reporting standards.
Issuer risk. The value of a security can go up or down more than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole, often due to disappointing earnings reports by the issuer, unsuccessful products or services, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or the competitive environment. The Fund may experience a substantial or complete loss on an individual security. The Fund will be exposed to additional risks as a result of its investments in the securities of small and medium capitalization companies. Historically, the prices of securities of small and medium capitalization companies have generally gone up or down more than those of large capitalization companies, although even large capitalization companies may fall out of favor with investors.
Illiquid investment risk. Some assets held by the Fund may be impossible or difficult to sell, particularly during times of market turmoil. These illiquid assets may also be difficult to value. If the Fund is forced to sell an illiquid asset to meet redemption requests or other cash needs, the Fund may be forced to sell at a loss.
Mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities risk. Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by real property. Mortgage-backed securities may be issued or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities or may be issued by private issuers, generally originators in mortgage loans, including savings and loan associations, mortgage bankers, commercial banks, investment bankers, and special purpose entities (collectively, “private lenders”). The purchase of mortgage-backed securities from private lenders may entail greater risk than mortgage-backed securities that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Mortgage-backed securities risks include the failure of a party to meet its commitments under the related operative documents, adverse interest rate changes and the effects of prepayments on mortgage cash flows.
Asset-backed securities are securities backed by credit card receivables, automobile loans or other assets. Credit card receivables are generally unsecured and the debtors are entitled to the protection of a number of state and federal consumer credit laws, many of which have given debtors the right to reduce the balance due on the credit cards. Asset-backed securities may be subject to greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other instruments.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (“RMBS”) risk. RMBS are subject to delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower’s equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower’s financial circumstances. Subprime loans are loans made to borrowers with weakened credit histories or with a lower capacity to make timely payments on their loans. RMBS backed by subprime loans may suffer significantly greater declines in value due to defaults or the increased risk of default.
Portfolio selection risk. The value of your investment may decrease if the Adviser’s judgment about the attractiveness or value of or market trends affecting a particular security, industry, sector or region, or about market movements is incorrect.
Prepayment or call risk. Many fixed income securities give the issuer the option to repay or call the security prior to its maturity date. Issuers often exercise this right when interest rates fall. Accordingly, if the Fund holds a fixed income security subject to prepayment or call risk, it will not benefit fully from the increase in value that other fixed income securities generally experience when interest rates fall. Upon prepayment of the security, the Fund would also be forced to reinvest the proceeds at then current yields, which would be lower than the yield of the security that was paid off. In addition, if the Fund purchases a fixed income security at a premium (at a price that exceeds its stated par or principal value), the Fund may lose the amount of the premium paid in the event of prepayment.
Market risk. Financial market risks affect the value of individual instruments in which the Fund invests. When the value of the Fund’s investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money. Factors such as economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels, and political events affect the U.S. securities markets. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to market events and other economic, political, and global macro factors. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. These and other similar events could be prolonged and could adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments, impair the Fund’s ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund’s performance.
In the past several years, financial markets, such as those in the United States, Europe, Asia and elsewhere, have experienced increased volatility, depressed valuations, decreased liquidity and heightened uncertainty. Governmental and non-governmental issuers have defaulted on, or been forced to restructure, their debts. These conditions may continue, recur, worsen or spread.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    12


Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund’s investments may be negatively affected.
Socially responsive criteria risk. The Fund’s universe of investments may be smaller than that of other funds because of the Fund’s socially responsive criteria. Socially responsive companies may underperform similar companies without socially responsiveness policies or the market as a whole. They may also fall out of favor with investors. The Fund’s socially responsive criteria may also prevent investment in certain attractive opportunities that would be otherwise consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and investment strategies.
Socially responsive information from third-party data providers may be incomplete, inaccurate, or unavailable, which could cause the Adviser to incorrectly assess a company’s socially responsive characteristics. Additionally, the third-party data providers may differ in the data they provide for a given company or industry, and such data may only take into account one of many socially responsive characteristics of a company.
Stock market and equity securities risk. The securities markets are volatile and the market prices of the Fund’s investments in equity securities may decline generally. Equity securities fluctuate in price based on changes in a company’s financial condition and overall market and economic conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the securities markets and on specific securities. If the market prices of the securities owned by the Fund fall, the value of your investment in the Fund will decline.
Volatility in the securities markets may make it more difficult for the Fund to accurately value its securities or to sell its securities on a timely basis. Market volatility may also adversely affect the broader economy, which in turn may adversely affect the value of securities owned by the Fund and the NAV of its shares.
Valuation risk. The sales price the Fund could receive for any particular portfolio investment may differ from the Fund’s valuation of the investment, particularly for securities that trade in thin or volatile markets or that are valued using a fair value methodology. Investors who purchase or redeem Fund shares on days when the Fund is holding fair-valued securities may receive fewer or more shares or lower or higher redemption proceeds than they would have received if the Fund had not fair-valued the security or had used a different valuation methodology.
Investment Restrictions of the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds
The investment restrictions for each Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund are identical as outlined below.
Each of TAP Trust and AMP Trust (on behalf of the respective Funds) has adopted restrictions as fundamental policies, as outlined for each Fund below, which may not be changed without the affirmative vote of the holders of a “majority of a Fund’s outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the “vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (i) 67% of the shares of a Fund represented at a meeting at which the holders of more than 50% of its outstanding shares are represented or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a Fund.
Each of TAP Trust and AMP Trust (on behalf of the respective Funds) has also adopted non-fundamental policies, as outlined for each Fund below, which may be changed by the TAP Board, with respect to the Target Fund, or the Board of Trustees of AMP Trust (the “AMP Board”), with respect to the Acquiring Fund, without shareholder approval upon 60 days’ prior written notice to shareholders.

1919 Maryland Fund
Fundamental Investment Policies
Each Fund’s fundamental investment policies are as follows:
In addition to its fundamental investment policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (including any borrowings for investment purposes) in municipal obligations, the interest of which is exempt from Maryland state and local taxes and is not considered a tax preference item for purposes of the AMT, each of the Target Maryland Fund and Acquiring Maryland Fund also has adopted the following fundamental investment limitations that cannot be changed except by a vote of its shareholders.
1.Borrowing: The Maryland Fund may not borrow money, except (i) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3 % of the Maryland Fund’s total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or (ii) by entering into reverse repurchase agreements or dollar rolls;
2.Underwriting: The Maryland Fund may not engage in the business of underwriting the securities of other issuers, except as permitted by the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as such statute, rules, and regulations are amended from time to time or are interpreted from time to time by the SEC or SEC staff or to the extent that the Maryland Fund may be permitted to do so by exemptive order or other relief from the SEC or SEC staff (collectively, “1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions”). This restriction does not prevent the Maryland Fund from engaging in transactions involving the acquisition, disposition or resale of portfolio securities, regardless of whether the Maryland Fund may be considered to be an underwriter under the 1933 Act;
3.Loans: The Maryland Fund may not lend money or other assets, except to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions. This restriction does not prevent the Maryland Fund from purchasing debt obligations in pursuit of its investment program, or for defensive or cash management purposes, entering into repurchase agreements, loaning its portfolio securities to financial intermediaries, institutions or institutional investors, or investing in loans, including assignments and participation interests;
4.Senior Securities: The Maryland Fund may not issue senior securities, except as permitted under the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions;
5.Real Estate: The Maryland Fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Maryland Fund from investing in issuers that invest, deal, or otherwise engage in transactions in or hold real estate or interests therein, investing in instruments that are secured by real estate or interests therein, or exercising rights under agreements relating to such securities, including the right to enforce security interests;
6.Commodities: The Maryland Fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. This restriction does not prevent the Maryland Fund from engaging in transactions involving foreign currency, futures contracts and options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars, securities purchased or sold on a forward-commitment or delayed-delivery basis or other similar financial instruments, or investing in securities or other instruments that are secured by physical commodities;
7.Concentration: The Maryland Fund may not make any investment if, as a result, the Maryland Fund’s investments will be concentrated (as that term may be defined or interpreted by the 1940 Act Laws, Interpretations and Exemptions) in any one industry. This restriction does not limit the Maryland Fund’s investment in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities and repurchase agreements with respect thereto, or securities of municipal issuers. Municipal securities whose payments of interest and/or principal are dependent upon revenues from specific projects rather than general obligations, will be subject to this policy.
Non-Fundamental Investment Policies
Each Fund’s non-fundamental investment policies are as follows:
    Information Statement/Prospectus    15


1.Borrowing: The Maryland Fund will not borrow for investment purposes an amount in excess of 5% of its total assets.
2.Short Sales: The Maryland Fund may not sell securities short (unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short). This restriction does not prevent the Maryland Fund from entering into short positions in foreign currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars, securities purchased or sold on a forward commitment or delayed delivery basis or other financial instruments.
3.Margin Purchases: The Maryland Fund may not purchase securities on margin, except that (i) the Maryland Fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions and (ii) the Maryland Fund may make margin payments in connection with foreign currency, futures contracts, options, forward contracts, swaps, caps, floors, collars, securities purchased or sold on a forward-commitment or delayed-delivery basis or other financial instruments.

FEES AND EXPENSES
As an investor, shareholders pay fees and expenses to buy and hold shares of the Target Funds or the Acquiring Funds.
The fees and fees and expenses of each share class of a Target Fund and the same share class of its corresponding Acquiring Fund are identical. The Acquiring Funds are not operational and do not currently have assets. The information below shows the current fees and expenses for the Target Funds. The Target Maryland Fund and Target Variable Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Funds are subject to identical expense limitation arrangements, as described in the footnotes to the fee tables for those Funds below.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    16


As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, the Target Financial Services Fund, the Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Target Maryland Fund have registered other share classes that have not commenced operations, and are not offered for purchase.

Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Financial Services 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 or hold 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 and that you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge. The Example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of shares.

3    1919ic has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (other than interest, brokerage commissions, front-end or contingent deferred sales charges, portfolio transaction expenses, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses) in order to limit the total annual fund operating expenses of the Maryland Fund to 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.30% for Class C shares, and 0.60% for Class I shares (each, an “Expense Cap”). The Expense Cap for the Maryland Fund will remain in effect through at least April 30, 2025 for the Target Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund, and may be terminated only by the TAP Board with respect to the Target Maryland Fund or the AMP Board with respect to the Acquiring Maryland Fund. The Adviser may request recoupment from the Maryland Fund of previously waived fees and paid expenses for three years from the date such fees and expenses were waived or paid, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Maryland Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lower of: (1) the Expense cap in place at the time such amounts were waived or paid and (2) the Maryland Fund’s Expense Cap at the time of the recoupment.
Example
This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Maryland Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, and then redeem or hold 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 (taking into account the expense caps that are in place for the first year only) and that you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge. The Example does not include the brokerage commissions that investors may pay on their purchases and sales of shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Fees and Expenses of the Variable Fund
The accompanying table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold, and sell shares of the Fund. The fee table and expense example do not reflect expenses incurred from investing through a separate account or qualified plan and do not reflect variable annuity or life insurance contract charges. If they did, the overall fees and expenses would be higher than those shown. Detailed information about the cost of investing in this Fund through a separate account or qualified plan is presented in the contract prospectus through which the Fund’s shares are offered to you or in the information provided by your plan.

The Adviser may request recoupment from the Variable Fund of previously waived fees and paid expenses for three years from the date such fees and expenses were waived or paid, provided that such recoupment does not cause the Variable Fund’s expense ratio (after recoupment is taken into account) to exceed the lower of: (1) the Expense cap in place at the time such amounts were waived or paid and (2) the Variable Fund’s Expense Cap at the time of the recoupment.
3    Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not correlate to the “Gross Expenses” or “Net Expenses” provided in the Target Fund’s Financial Highlights because the Target Fund’s Financial Highlights do not include 0.01% that is attributed to acquired fund fees and 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 does not include expenses incurred from investing through a separate account or qualified plan. If the example included these expenses, the figures shown would be higher. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated, and then redeem or hold 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 (taking into account the expense caps that are in place for the first year only) and that you reinvest all distributions and dividends without a sales charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

With or without redemption at end of period$92$405$740$1,688
Portfolio Turnover
Each 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 a Fund’s performance. The following table shows the Target Funds’ portfolio turnover rates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. The Acquiring Funds are expected to have similar portfolio turnover rates.

PERFORMANCE HISTORY
For the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Fund will be the surviving legal entity, and will adopt the accounting history of the corresponding Target Fund. As a result, the Acquiring Funds will assume the financial and performance history of the Target Funds when the Reorganizations close.
The bar charts show performance of the class of shares indicated for each Target Fund from year to year. The tables below illustrate how each Target Fund’s average annual returns for the period indicated compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The bar charts do not reflect the impact of sales charges, which, if reflected, would lower the returns. The tables include deduction of applicable sales charges. In addition, the performance calculations for the Target Variable Fund do not reflect charges or deductions that are, or may be, imposed under your variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract; if they did, the performance for the Target Variable Fund would have been lower. A Target Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not necessarily indicate how the Fund will perform in the future. Updated performance information, is posted on the Funds’ website at www.1919funds.com or by calling the Funds toll-free at 1‑844‑828‑1919.
Target Financial Services Fund - Class I
The performance of shares of the Target Financial Services Fund for the period prior to November 7, 2014 reflects the performance of the Legg Mason Investment Counsel Financial Services Fund (the “Predecessor Fund”). The Target Financial Services Fund acquired the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund that had used substantially similar investment strategies. At completion of the reorganization on November 7, 2014, Class A, Class C, and Class I of the Target Financial Services Fund assumed the performance, financial and other historical information of the Predecessor Fund’s corresponding class of shares.

SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION
Pricing of Fund Shares
Shares of the Funds are sold at the NAV per share which is calculated as of the close of regular trading (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) on each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for unrestricted business. However, the Funds’ NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the SEC. The NYSE is closed on weekends and most national holidays, including New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington’s Birthday/Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth National Independence Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NAV will not be calculated on days when the NYSE is closed for trading.
Purchase and redemption requests are priced based on the next NAV per share calculated after receipt of such requests. The NAV is the value of each Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, minus all expenses and liabilities (assets – liabilities = NAV). NAV per share is determined by dividing NAV by the number of shares outstanding (NAV/ # of shares = NAV per share). The NAV takes into account the expenses and fees of a Fund, including management and administration fees, which are accrued daily.
When determining NAV, the value of a Fund’s portfolio investments is based on readily available market quotations, which generally means a reliable valuation obtained from an exchange or other market, or fair value as determined by an independent pricing service and evaluated by the Adviser. If a market quotation is not readily available or does not otherwise accurately reflect the value of an investment, an investment will be valued by another method that the Adviser believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies and the Adviser’s related procedures. Fair value pricing represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accordingly, a Fund’s NAV may reflect certain portfolio investments’ fair values rather than their market prices.
Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments, and it is possible that a fair value determination for an investment will materially differ from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the investment.
Fair value pricing may be applied to non-U.S. investments. The trading hours for most non-U.S. investments end prior to the close of the NYSE, the time that each Fund’s NAV is calculated. The occurrence of certain events after the close of non-U.S. markets, but prior to the close of the NYSE (such as a significant surge or decline in the U.S. market) often will result in an adjustment to the trading prices of non-U.S. investments when non-U.S. markets open on the following business day. If such events occur, each Fund may value non-U.S. investments at fair value, taking into account such events, when it calculates its NAV. In such cases, use of fair valuation can reduce an investor’s ability to seek profit by estimating the Fund’s NAV per share in advance of the time the NAV per share is calculated.
Other types of investments that the Funds may hold for which fair value pricing might be required include, but are not limited to: (a) investments which are not frequently traded and/or the market price of which the Adviser believes may be stale; (b) illiquid investments, including “restricted” securities and private placements for which there is no public market; (c) securities of an issuer that has entered into a restructuring; (d) securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; and (e) fixed income securities that have gone into default and for which there is not a current market value quotation.
If a Fund has portfolio investments that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares, the NAV of the Fund’s shares may change on days when shareholders will not be able to purchase or redeem the Fund’s shares.

Choosing a Class of Shares to Buy
For the variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix C to this Information Statement/Prospectus – Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations (“Appendix C”). All variations described in Appendix C are applied by the identified Financial Intermediary. Sales charge variations may apply to purchases, sales, exchanges and reinvestments of Fund shares and a shareholder transacting in Fund shares through an intermediary identified on Appendix C should read the terms and conditions of Appendix C carefully. A variation that is specific to a particular Financial Intermediary is not applicable to shares held directly with the Fund or through another intermediary. Please consult your Financial Intermediary with respect to any variations listed in Appendix C.
Investors not purchasing directly from the Funds may purchase shares through a Financial Intermediary. Please note that if you are purchasing shares through a Financial Intermediary, your Financial Intermediary may not offer all classes of shares. Financial Intermediaries making Fund shares available to their clients determine which share class(es) to make available. Your Financial Intermediary may receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for selling another class, which may depend on, among other things, the type of investor account and the practices adopted by your Financial Intermediary. Certain Financial Intermediaries may impose their own investment fees and practices for purchasing and selling Fund shares, which are not described in this Information Statement/Prospectus or the SAI, and which will depend on the policies, procedures and trading platforms of the Financial Intermediary. Consult a representative of your Financial Intermediary about the availability of Fund shares and the Financial Intermediary’s practices and other information.
Individual investors investing through a Financial Intermediary may be eligible to invest in Class I or Class R shares, if such Financial Intermediary is acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Funds’ distributor and such investor’s shares are held in an omnibus account on the books of the Funds. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Please note that the Funds do not charge any front-end load, deferred sales charge or other asset-based fee for sales or distribution of Class I shares and Class R shares. However, if you purchase Class I shares through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Funds’ distributor, that Financial Intermediary may charge you a commission in an amount determined and separately disclosed to you by the Financial Intermediary. Because the Funds are not a party to any commission arrangement between you and your Financial Intermediary, any purchases and redemptions of Class I shares will be made by the Funds at the applicable net asset value (before imposition of the sales commission). Any commissions charged by a Financial Intermediary are not reflected in the fees and expenses listed in the fee table or expense example in this Information Statement/Prospectus nor are they reflected in the performance in the bar chart and table in this Information Statement/Prospectus because these commissions are not charged by the Funds. Class I shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.
Individual investors can generally invest in Class A and Class C shares. Individual investors who invest directly with a Fund and who meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement may purchase Class I shares. (Individual investors who held Class I shares of the Financial Services Fund prior to November 20, 2006 are permitted to make additional investments in Class I shares.)
Retirement Plan and Institutional Investors and Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries should refer to “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors” below for a description of the classes available to them. Each class has different sales charges and expenses, allowing you to choose a class that may be appropriate for you.
When choosing which class of shares to buy, you should consider:
How much you plan to invest
How long you expect to own the shares
The expenses paid by each class detailed in the fee table and example at the front of this Information Statement/Prospectus
Whether you qualify for any reduction or waiver of sales charges
Availability of share classes
When choosing between Class A and Class C shares, you should be aware that, generally speaking, the larger the size of your investment and the longer your investment horizon, the more likely it will be that Class C shares will not be as advantageous as Class A shares. The annual distribution and service fees on Class C shares may cost you more over the longer term than the front-end sales charge and service fees you would have paid for larger purchases of Class A shares. If you are eligible to purchase Class I shares, you should be aware that Class I shares are not subject to a front-end sales charge and generally have lower annual expenses than Class A or Class C shares.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    28


Each class of shares is authorized to pay fees for recordkeeping services to Financial Intermediaries. As a result, operating expenses of classes that incur new or additional recordkeeping fees may increase over time.
You may buy shares:
Through a Financial Intermediary. An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
Directly from the Funds
Your Financial Intermediary may provide shareholder services that differ from the services provided by other Financial Intermediaries. Services provided by your Financial Intermediary may vary by class. You should ask your Financial Intermediary to explain the shareholder services it provides for each class and the compensation it receives in connection with each class. Remember that your Financial Intermediary may receive different compensation depending on the share class in which you invest.
Your Financial Intermediary may not offer all classes of shares. You should contact your Financial Intermediary for further information.
Fund imposed sales charges and waivers include the following:
Front-end sales charges that apply to the purchase of Class A shares
Contingent deferred sales charges that apply to the redemption of Class C shares and certain Class A shares
Qualifying for lower sales charges on Class A shares
Qualifying for a sales load waiver
Comparing the Funds’ Classes

Sales Charges
You can find information about sales charges and breakpoints on the Funds’ website at www.1919funds.com and in the SAI, which is also available on the website free of charge. For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix C.
Class A shares
You buy Class A shares at the offering price, which is the net asset value plus a sales charge. You pay a lower rate as the size of your investment increases to certain levels called breakpoints. You do not pay a sales charge on the Funds’ distributions or dividends that you reinvest in additional Class A shares.
The tables below show the rate of sales charge you pay, depending on the amount you purchase. Because of rounding in the calculation of the “offering price”, the actual sales charge you pay may be more or less than that calculated using the percentages shown below. It also shows the amount of broker/dealer compensation that will be paid out of the sales charge if you buy Class A shares from a Financial Intermediary. Such Financial Intermediaries will receive the sales charge imposed on purchases of Class A shares and will retain the full amount of such sales charge. Financial Intermediaries will receive a Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee payable on Class A shares at an annual rate of up to 0.25% (0.15% for the Maryland Fund) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class A shares serviced by them. These fees are an ongoing expense and, over time, will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

Prior to the thirteenth month, this fee will be retained by the Fund. The Financial Intermediary will start receiving the annual 12b-1 distribution and service fee immediately if no commission is paid at purchase. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Investments of $1,000,000 or more
You do not pay a front-end charge when you buy $1,000,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if you redeem these Class A shares within 18 months of purchase, you will pay a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00%. Any CDSC is based on the original cost of the shares or the current market value, whichever is less.
Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge
There are several ways you can combine multiple purchases of Class A shares of the Funds to take advantage of the breakpoints in the sales charge schedule. In order to take advantage of reductions in sales charges that may be available to you when you purchase Fund shares, you must inform your Financial Intermediary if you are eligible for a letter of intent or a right of accumulation and if you own shares of other Funds that are eligible to be aggregated with your purchases. Certain records, such as account statements, may be necessary in order to verify your eligibility for a reduced sales charge.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”) You may combine your new purchase of Class A shares with Class A shares you currently own for the purpose of qualifying for the lower front-end charge rates that apply to larger purchases. The applicable sales charge for the new
    Information Statement/Prospectus    31


purchase is based on the total of your current purchase and the current value, calculated using the current day public offering price of all other shares you own. You may also combine the account value of your spouse and children under the age of 21. Only the shares held at the intermediary or the transfer agent at which you are making the current purchase can be used for the purposes of a lower sales charge based on Rights of Accumulation.
If you hold Fund shares in accounts at two or more Financial Intermediaries, please contact your Financial Intermediaries to determine which shares may be combined.
Certain trustees and other fiduciaries may be entitled to combine accounts in determining their sales charge.
Letter of Intent (“LOI”) – By signing an LOI you can reduce your Class A sales charge. Your individual purchases will be made at the applicable sales charge based on the amount you intend to invest over a 13-month period. The LOI will apply to all purchases of 1919 Funds Class A shares. Any shares purchased within 90 days of the date you sign the letter of intent may be used as credit toward completion, but the reduced sales charge will only apply to new purchases made on or after that date. Purchases resulting from the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains do not apply toward fulfillment of the LOI. Shares equal to 5.75% of the amount of the LOI will be held in escrow during the 13-month period. If, at the end of that time the total amount of purchases made is less than the amount intended, you will be required to pay the difference between the reduced sales charge and the sales charge applicable to the individual purchases had the LOI not been in effect. This amount will be obtained from redemption of the escrow shares. Any remaining escrow shares will be released to you.
If you establish an LOI with 1919 Funds you can aggregate your accounts as well as the accounts of your spouse and children under age 21. You will need to provide written instruction with respect to the other accounts whose purchases should be considered in fulfillment of the LOI. Only the accounts held at the Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent at which you are making the purchase can be used toward fulfillment of the LOI.
Reinstatement Privileges – If you sell Class A shares of a Fund and withdraw your money from that Fund, you may reinstate into the same account, within 365 days of the date of your redemption, without paying a front-end sales charge if you paid a front-end sales charge when you originally purchased your shares. For purposes of a CDSC, if you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares, you would be credited with the amount of the CDSC proportional to the amount reinvested. Reinstated shares will continue to age, as applicable, from the date that you bought your original shares. This privilege can be used only once per calendar year per account. Contact your Financial Intermediary, or for direct shareholders, call the Transfer Agent at 1‑844‑828-1919, for additional information.
You must identify and provide information to the Fund or your Financial Intermediary, as applicable, regarding your historical purchases and holdings, and you should also retain any records necessary to substantiate historical transactions and costs because the Funds, their transfer agent, and Financial Intermediaries will not be responsible for providing this information.
For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix C.
Waivers of front-end charges for certain Class A investors
Class A front-end charges are waived for the following types of investors, including:
Investors purchasing shares directly though the Fund
Employees of Financial Intermediaries
Those who qualify for the Reinstatement Privilege as discussed above
Trustees and officers of any 1919 Investment Counsel -sponsored fund
Employees of 1919 Investment Counsel and its subsidiaries
Investors who rollover fund shares from a qualified retirement plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform
Purchases by separate accounts used to fund unregistered variable annuity contracts
Purchases by shareholders who have redeemed Class A shares in the Fund (or Class A shares of another Fund sold by the Adviser that is offered with a sales charge) and who wish to reinvest their redemption proceeds in the Fund as described in “Qualifying for a reduced Class A sales charge,” “Reinstatement Privileges” section of the Prospectus, provided the reinvestment is made within 365 calendar days of the redemption
Purchases by investors participating in “wrap fee” or asset allocation programs or other fee-based arrangements sponsored by broker/dealers and other financial institutions
    Information Statement/Prospectus    32


Purchases by direct retail investment platforms through mutual fund “supermarkets,” where the sponsor links its client’s account (including IRA accounts on such platforms) to a master account in the sponsor’s name.
Whether a sales charge waiver is available for your retirement plan or charitable account depends upon the policies and procedures of your Financial Intermediary. Investors should consult their financial advisor for further information.
If you qualify for a waiver of the Class A front-end sales charge, you must notify your Financial Intermediary or the Funds at the time of purchase and provide sufficient information at the time of purchase to permit verification that the purchase qualifies for the front-end charge waiver. For the sales charge variations applicable to shares offered through specific Financial Intermediaries, please see Appendix C.
Class C shares
Class C shares may be purchased only through Financial Intermediaries. Class C shares of the Funds are offered without a front-end charge. This means that 100% of your initial investment is placed into shares of the applicable Fund. Class C shares pay up to 1.00% on an annualized basis of the average daily net assets as reimbursement or compensation for shareholder servicing and distribution-related activities with respect to the applicable Fund. Over time, fees paid under the distribution and service plans will increase the cost of a Class C shareholder’s investment and may cost more than other types of sales charges. Additionally, investors are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% for Class C shares if shares are redeemed within 12 months after purchase. Any applicable CDSC is based on the lesser of the original purchase cost or the current market value of the shares being redeemed. The minimum initial investment for Class C Shares is $1,000 and the subsequent investment minimum is $50. No order for Class C Shares of any Fund may exceed $1,000,000.
Financial Intermediaries selling Class C shares generally are paid a commission of up to 1.00% (0.75% for the Maryland Fund) of the purchase price of the Class C shares they sell. Financial Intermediaries will receive Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fee payments of up to 1.00% (0.70% for the Maryland Fund) of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them following the first year of purchase.
If you sell (redeem) Class C shares of a Fund and withdraw your money from a Fund, you may reinstate into the same account, within 365 days of the date of your redemption, without paying either a front-end sales charge if you paid a front-end sales charge when you originally purchased your share or a CDSC if you paid a CDSC when you sold your shares. For purposes of the CDSC, you would be credited with the amount of the CDSC proportional to the amount reinvested. Reinstated shares will continue to age, as applicable, from the date that you bought your original shares. This privilege can be used only once per calendar year per account. Contact your Financial Intermediary for additional information. You must identify and provide information to the Fund or your Financial Intermediary, as applicable, regarding your historical purchases and holdings, and you should also retain any records necessary to substantiate historical transactions and costs because the Funds, their transfer agent, and Financial Intermediaries will not be responsible for providing this information.
Class C shares will be converted to Class A shares after the shares have been held for 8 years from the purchase date. It is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary and not the Funds, the Transfer Agent, Distributor or the Adviser to ensure that you are credited with the proper holding period. If your Financial Intermediary does not have records verifying that your shares have been held for at least 8 years, your Financial Intermediary may not convert your Class C shares to Class A shares. Group retirement plans held in an omnibus record keeping platform through a Financial Intermediary that does not track participant-level share lot aging may not convert Class C shares to Class A shares. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Class I shares
You buy Class I shares at net asset value with no front-end charge and no contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed. Class I shares are not subject to any distribution and service fees. However, if you purchase Class I shares through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as an agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s distributor, the Financial Intermediary may charge you a commission in an amount determined and separately disclosed to you by the Financial Intermediary.
Class I shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
The contingent deferred sales charge is based on the net asset value at the time of purchase or redemption, whichever is less, and therefore you do not pay a sales charge on amounts representing appreciation or depreciation.
In addition, you do not pay a contingent deferred sales charge:
When you exchange shares for shares of another 1919 Fund
    Information Statement/Prospectus    33


On shares representing reinvested distributions and dividends
On shares no longer subject to the contingent deferred sales charge
Each time you place a request to redeem shares, the Funds will first redeem any shares in your account that are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and then redeem the shares in your account that have been held the longest.
If you redeem shares of a Fund and pay a contingent deferred sales charge, you may, under certain circumstances, reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds within 365 days and receive pro rata credit for any contingent deferred sales charge imposed on the prior redemption. Please see “Reinstatement Privileges” section above.
Contingent deferred sales charge waivers
The contingent deferred sales charge for each share class will be waived:
On payments made through certain systematic withdrawal plans
On distributions from eligible Retirement Plans as defined under “Retirement and Institutional Investors – Eligible Investors”, “Retirement Plans” section below.
On redemptions in connection with lump-sum or other distributions made by eligible retirement plans or redemption of shares by participants in certain “wrap fee” or asset allocation programs sponsored by broker/dealers and other financial institutions that have entered into agreements with the Distributor or the Adviser
For Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds
For involuntary redemptions of small account balances
For 12 months following the death or disability of a shareholder (as defined in the Code)
For mandatory post-retirement distributions from retirement plans or IRAs
For tax-free returns of an excess contribution to any retirement plan
To have your contingent deferred sales charge waived, you or your Financial Intermediary must let the Funds know at the time you redeem shares that you qualify for such a waiver.
Retirement and Institutional Investors — Eligible Investors
Retirement Plans
“Retirement Plans” include 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit-sharing plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and other similar employer-sponsored retirement plans. Retirement Plans do not include individual retirement vehicles, such as traditional and Roth IRAs, Coverdell education savings accounts, individual 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, Keogh plans, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs or similar accounts.
Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Fund can generally invest in Class A, Class C, Class FI, Class R and Class I shares.
Investors who rollover Fund shares from a Retirement Plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform may hold, purchase and exchange shares of the Funds to the same extent as the applicable Retirement Plan.
Although Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds are not subject to minimum initial investment requirements for any of these share classes, certain investment minimums may be imposed by a Financial Intermediary. The Financial Intermediary may impose certain additional requirements. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Other Retirement Plans
“Other Retirement Plans” include Retirement Plans investing through brokerage accounts and also include certain Retirement Plans with direct relationships to the Funds that are neither Institutional Investors nor investing through omnibus accounts. Other Retirement Plans and individual retirement vehicles, such as IRAs, are treated like individual investors for purposes of determining sales charges and any applicable sales charge reductions or waivers.
“Other Retirement Plans” do not include arrangements whereby an investor would rollover Fund shares from a Retirement Plan into an IRA administered on the same retirement plan platform. Such arrangements are deemed to be “Retirement Plans” and are subject to the rights and privileges described under “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors — Retirement Plans.”
Other Retirement Plan investors can generally invest in Class A, Class C and Class I shares. Individual retirement vehicles may also choose between these share classes.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    34


Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries
“Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries” are investors who invest in the Funds through Financial Intermediaries that (i) charge such investors an ongoing fee for advisory, investment, consulting or similar services, or (ii)  offer Class A, Class FI, Class R or Class I shares through a no-load network or platform (“Eligible Investment Programs”). Such investors may include pension and profit sharing plans, other employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations and corporations. Eligible Investment Programs may also include college savings vehicles such as Section 529 plans and direct retail investment platforms through mutual fund “supermarkets,” where the sponsor links its client’s account (including IRA accounts on such platforms) to a master account in the sponsor’s name. The Financial Intermediary may impose separate investment minimums.
Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries may generally invest in Class A, Class FI, Class R or Class I shares. Class A and Class C shares of the Funds may convert to Class I shares by participants in the Eligible Investment Programs.
Institutional Investors
“Institutional Investors” may include corporations, banks, trust companies, insurance companies, investment companies, foundations, endowments, defined benefit plans and other similar entities. The Financial Intermediary may impose additional eligibility requirements or criteria to determine if an investor, including the types of investors listed above, qualifies as an Institutional Investor.
Institutional Investors may invest in Class I shares if they meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement. Institutional Investors may also invest in Class A and Class C shares, which have different investment minimums, fees and expenses.
Class A shares — Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans may buy Class A shares. Under programs for current and prospective Retirement Plan investors sponsored by Financial Intermediaries, the front-end charge and contingent deferred sales charge for Class A shares are waived where:
Such Retirement Plan’s record-keeper offers only load-waived shares,
Fund shares are held on the books of a Fund through an omnibus account
Financial Intermediaries selling Class A shares to Retirement Plans with a direct omnibus relationship with the Funds will not be paid a commission on the purchase price of Class A shares sold by them. However, for certain Retirement Plans that are permitted to purchase shares at net asset value, the Financial Intermediary may be paid a commission of up to 1.00% of the purchase price of the Class A shares that are purchased with regular ongoing plan contributions. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Class C shares — Retirement Plans
Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds may buy Class C shares at net asset value without paying a contingent deferred sales charge. 1919ic does not pay Financial Intermediaries selling Class C shares to Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of a Fund a commission on the purchase price of Class C shares sold by them. Instead, immediately after purchase, these Financial Intermediaries may be paid an annual distribution and service fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets represented by the Class C shares serviced by them. Please see the SAI for more details.
Class I shares
Class I shares are offered only to Institutional Investors and individual investors (investing directly with the Funds) who meet the $1,000,000 minimum initial investment requirement, Retirement Plans with omnibus accounts held on the books of the Funds and certain rollover IRAs, Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries, investors investing through a Financial Intermediary acting solely as agent on behalf of its customers pursuant to an agreement with the Fund’s distributor, and other investors authorized by 1919ic. (Individual investors who held Class I shares of the Financial Services Fund prior to November 20, 2006 are permitted to make additional investments in Class I shares.) Certain waivers of these requirements for individuals associated with the Fund are discussed in the SAI.
Investors who qualify as Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries or who participate in Eligible Investment Programs made available through their Financial Intermediaries (such as investors in fee-based advisory or mutual fund “wrap” programs) are eligible to purchase, directly or via exchange, Class I shares, among other share classes. In such cases your ability to hold Class I shares may be premised on your continuing participation in a fee-based advisory or mutual fund wrap program.
Your Financial Intermediary may reserve the right to redeem your Class I shares or exchange them for Class A shares of the Fund, as applicable, if you terminate your fee-based advisory or mutual fund wrap program and are no longer eligible for Class I shares. You may be subject to an initial sales charge in connection with such exchange, and you will be subject to the annual distribution and/or service fee applicable to Class A shares. Any redemption may generate a taxable gain or loss and significantly change the asset allocation of your account. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    35


Certain waivers of these requirements for individuals associated with the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates are discussed in each Fund’s SAI.
Other considerations
Plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and other Financial Intermediaries may choose to impose qualification requirements that differ from the Funds’ share class eligibility standards. In certain cases, this could result in the selection of a share class with higher distribution and service fees than otherwise would have been charged. The Funds are not responsible for, and have no control over, the decision of any plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or Financial Intermediary to impose such differing requirements. Please consult with your plan sponsor, plan fiduciary or Financial Intermediary for more information about available share classes.
Your Financial Intermediary may not offer all share classes. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for additional details.
Buying Shares
Generally
You may buy shares at their net asset value next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent of your purchase request in good order, plus any applicable sales charge.

The Maryland Fund may not be available for sale in certain states. Prospective investors should inquire as to whether the fund is available for sale in their state of residence.
 
You must provide the following information for your order to be processed:
 
Name of fund being bought
Class of shares being bought

You may buy and sell shares of the Funds through certain brokers and financial intermediaries (and their agents) (collectively, “Brokers”) that have made arrangements with the Funds to sell their shares. When you place your order with such a Broker, your order is treated as if you had placed it directly with the Transfer Agent, and you will pay or receive the next applicable price calculated by the Fund. The Funds will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker, or, if applicable, a broker’s designee receives the order.

Class I or Class R shares may also be available on certain brokerage platforms. An investor transacting Class I or Class R shares through a broker acting as an agent for the investor may be required to pay a commission and/or other forms of compensation to the broker.

You can mail or overnight deliver your account application to the Transfer Agent at the below address. Upon receipt of your completed account application, your account will be established and a service representative will contact you to provide your new account number and wiring instructions. If you do not receive this information within one business day, contact the Transfer Agent. You may then instruct your bank to send the wire. Prior to sending the wire, please call the Fund at 1‑844‑828‑1919 to advise them of the wire and to ensure proper credit upon receipt. Your bank must include the name of the Fund, your name and your account number so that monies can be correctly applied. Your bank should transmit immediately available funds by wire to:

    Information Statement/Prospectus    37


Through an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”)
You may authorize your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent to transfer funds automatically from (i) a regular bank account, (ii) cash held in a brokerage account with a Financial Intermediary or (iii) certain money market funds, in order to buy shares on a regular basis. If you wish to enroll in the AIP, complete the appropriate section on the Account application. Your signed Account application must be received at least 7 business days prior to the initial transaction.

Amounts transferred must meet the applicable minimums (see “Purchase and Sale of Fund shares”)
Amounts may be transferred monthly, every alternate month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
A $25 fee will be imposed if your AIP transaction is returned for any reason.

The Fund may terminate or modify this privilege at any time. You may terminate your participation in the AIP at any time by notifying the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal. Please contact your financial institution to determine if it is ACH network member. Your financial institution must be an ACH member in order for you to participate in the AIP.

The AIP is a method of using dollar cost averaging as an investment strategy that involves investing a fixed amount of money at regular time intervals. However, a program of regular investment cannot ensure a profit or protect against a loss as a result of declining markets. By continually investing the same amount, you will be purchasing more shares when the price is low and fewer shares when the price is high. Please call 1-844-828-1919 for additional information regarding the Funds’ AIP.

For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.
Exchanging Shares
GenerallyYou may exchange shares of one Fund for the same class of shares of other Funds on any day that both the Fund and the Fund into which you are exchanging are open for business.

An exchange of shares of one Fund for shares of another Fund is considered a taxable event and generally results in a capital gain or loss for federal income tax purposes, unless you are investing through an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged account. An exchange of shares of one class directly for shares of another class of the same Fund normally should not be taxable for federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making an exchange.

The exchange privilege is not intended as a vehicle for short-term trading. A Fund may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege if you engage in a pattern of excessive exchanges.

You may exchange shares at their NAV next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the transfer agent of your exchange request in good order.

Investment minimums, sales charges and other requirements
In most instances, your shares will not be subject to a front-end charge or a contingent deferred sales charge at the time of the exchange. You may be charged an initial or contingent deferred sales charge if the shares being exchanged were not subject to a sales charge
 
Except as noted above, your contingent deferred sales charge (if any) will continue to be measured from the date of your original purchase of shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and you will be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge of the Fund that you originally purchased

You will generally be required to meet the minimum investment requirement for the class of shares of the fund or share class into which your exchange is made (except in the case of systematic exchange plans)

Your exchange will also be subject to any other requirements of the fund or share class into which you are exchanging shares

The Funds may suspend or terminate your exchange privilege if you engage in a pattern of excessive exchanges

Converting Shares
GenerallyInvestors currently owning Class A, Class C or Class FI shares who qualify as Clients of Eligible Financial Intermediaries and participate in Eligible Investment Programs made available through their financial intermediaries (such as investors in fee-based advisory or mutual fund “wrap” programs), may convert to Class I shares of the same Fund under certain limited circumstances. Investors currently owning Class C shares who qualify as above, may convert to Class A shares under certain limited circumstances. Please refer to the section of this Information Statement/Prospectus titled “Retirement and Institutional Investors — eligible investors” or contact your financial intermediary for more information.
Class CClass C shares will be converted to Class A shares after the shares have been held for 8 years from the purchase date. It is the responsibility of the Financial Intermediary and not the Funds, the Transfer Agent, Distributor or the Adviser to ensure that you are credited with the proper holding period. If your Financial Intermediary does not have records verifying that your shares have been held for at least 8 years, your Financial Intermediary may not convert your Class C shares to Class A shares. Group retirement plans held in an omnibus record keeping platform through a Financial Intermediary that does not track participant-level share lot aging may not convert Class C shares to Class A shares. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information.
Redeeming Shares
GenerallyYou may redeem shares at their NAV next determined after receipt by your Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent of your redemption request in good order, less any applicable contingent deferred sales charge.
 
If the shares are held by a fiduciary or corporation, partnership or similar entity, other documents may be required.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    40


Redemption proceeds
The Funds typically send the redemption proceeds on the next business day (a day when the NYSE is open for normal business) after the redemption request is received in good order and prior to market close, regardless of whether the redemption proceeds are sent via check, wire, or ACH transfer. While not expected, payment of redemption proceeds may take up to seven days.If you did not purchase your shares with a wire payment, before selling recently purchased shares, please note that if the Transfer Agent has not yet collected payment for the shares you are selling, it may delay sending the proceeds until the payment is collected, which may take up to 15 calendar days from the purchase date. 

Under unusual circumstances, the Funds may suspend redemptions, or postpone payment for more than seven days if the NYSE is closed (other than on weekends or holidays) or trading is restricted, if an emergency exists, or otherwise as permitted by order of the SEC or by the federal securities law.
Redemption proceeds continued
If you have a brokerage account with a Financial Intermediary, your redemption proceeds will be sent to your Financial Intermediary. Your redemption proceeds can be sent by check to your address of record or by wire or electronic transfer (“ACH”) to your pre-designated bank account. There is a $15 wire charge per wire which will be deducted from your account balance on dollar specific trades or from the proceeds on complete redemptions and share specific trades. There is no charge for proceeds sent via the ACH network; however, most ACH transfers require two to three days for the bank account to receive credit. Telephone redemptions cannot be made if you notify the Transfer Agent of a change of address within 30 days before the redemption request. To change the bank account designated to receive wire or electronic transfers, you will be required to deliver a new written authorization and may be asked to provide other documents.
 
In other cases, unless you direct otherwise, your proceeds will be paid by check mailed to your address of record.
 
The Funds typically expect to meet redemption requests by paying out proceeds from cash or cash equivalent portfolio holdings, or by selling portfolio holdings. In stressed market conditions, redemption methods may include paying redemption proceeds to you in whole or in part by a distribution of securities from a Fund’s portfolio (a “redemption in-kind”). You may pay transaction costs to dispose of the securities, and you may receive less for them than the price at which they were valued for purposes of the redemption.

The Funds do not consider the U.S. Postal Service or other independent delivery services to be their agents. Therefore, deposit in the mail or with such services, or receipt at U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC post office box, of purchase orders or redemption requests does not constitute receipt by the transfer agent of the Fund. Receipt of purchase orders or redemption requests is based on when the order is received at the Transfer Agent’s offices.

Your written request must provide the following:
 
The Fund name, the class of shares being redeemed and your account number
The dollar amount or number of shares being redeemed 
Signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered, with a signature guarantee, if applicable
Signature guarantees, as applicable (see “Additional Information about Transactions”)
If you have an IRA or other retirement plan, you must indicate on your written redemption request whether or not to withhold federal income tax. Redemption requests failing to indicate an election to have tax withheld will be subject to 10% withholding.
By telephone
If your account application permits, you may be eligible to redeem shares by telephone up to $50,000. Contact your Financial Intermediary or, if you hold shares directly with the Funds, call the Funds at 1‑844‑828‑1919 between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Central time (9 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern time) for more information. Please have the following information ready when you call:

Name of Fund being redeemed
 
Class of shares being redeemed
 
Account number
By telephone continued
Before executing an instruction received by telephone, the Transfer Agent will use reasonable procedures to confirm that the telephone instructions are genuine. The telephone call may be recorded and the caller may be asked to verify certain personal identification information. If the Funds or its agents follow these procedures, they cannot be held liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone redemption request that is reasonably believed to be genuine. This includes fraudulent or unauthorized requests. The Funds may change, modify or terminate these telephone redemption privileges at any time upon at least 60 days’ written notice to shareholders. If an account has more than one owner or authorized person, the Funds will accept telephone instructions from any one owner or authorized person. Once a telephone transaction has been placed, it cannot be canceled or modified after the close of regular trading on the NYSE (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Shares held in IRA or other retirement accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1-844-828-1919. Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any distribution. Telephone trades must be received by or prior to market close. During periods of high market activity, shareholders may encounter higher than usual call wait times. Please allow sufficient time to ensure that you will be able to complete your telephone transaction prior to market close.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    42


Systemic
Withdrawal Plan (“SWP”)
You may be permitted to schedule automatic redemptions of a portion of your shares. To qualify, you must own shares of a Fund with a value of at least $10,000 for Class A and C shares ($5,000 for Retirement Plan accounts) and each automatic redemption must be at least $50.
 
The following conditions apply:
 
Redemptions may be made monthly, every alternate month, quarterly, semi-annually or annually
 
If your shares are subject to a CDSC, the charge will be required to be paid upon redemption. However, the charge will be waived if your automatic redemptions are equal to or less than 2% per month of your account balance on the date the redemptions commence, up to a maximum of 12% in one year

You must inform your Financial Intermediary or the Transfer Agent at the time you establish your Systematic Withdrawal that you are eligible for any CDSC waiver.
 
You should elect to have all dividends and distributions reinvested

If you elect this method of redemption, the Fund will send a check directly to your address of record, or will send the payments directly to a pre-authorized bank account by electronic funds transfer via the ACH network. For payment through the ACH network, your bank must be an ACH member and your bank account information must be maintained on your Fund account. This SWP may be terminated or modified by a shareholder or the Fund at any time without charge or penalty. You may also elect to terminate your participation in this SWP at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent sufficiently in advance of the next withdrawal.

A withdrawal under the SWP involves a redemption of the Fund’s shares, and may result in a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes. In addition, if the amount withdrawn exceeds the dividends credited to your account, the account ultimately may be depleted. To establish the SWP, complete the “Systematic Withdrawal Plan” section of the Fund’s account application. Please call 1‑844‑828‑1919 for additional information regarding the Funds’ SWP.
IRA Redemptions
Shareholders who hold their shares through an IRA or other retirement plan must indicate on their written 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. Shares held in IRA accounts may be redeemed by telephone at 1‑844‑828‑1919. Investors will be asked whether or not to withhold taxes from any distribution.
Additional Information about Transactions
When you buy, exchange or redeem shares, your request must be in good order. This means you have provided the following information, without which your request may not be processed:
Name of the Fund
Your account number
In the case of a purchase (including a purchase as part of an exchange transaction), the class of shares being bought
In the case of an exchange or redemption, the class of shares being exchanged or redeemed (if you own more than one class)
Dollar amount or number of shares being bought, exchanged or redeemed
In certain circumstances, the signature of each owner exactly as the account is registered with a signature guarantee, if applicable (see “Redeeming Shares”)
All checks must be in U.S. Dollars drawn on a domestic bank. The Funds will not accept payment in cash or money orders. The Funds do not accept postdated checks or any conditional order or payment. To prevent check fraud, the Funds will not accept third party checks, Treasury checks, credit card checks, traveler’s checks or starter checks for the purchase of shares. . If your check is returned
    Information Statement/Prospectus    43


for any reason, a $25 fee will be assessed against your account. You will also be responsible for any losses suffered by the Fund as a result.
Shares of the Funds have not been registered for sale outside of the United States. The Funds generally do not sell shares to investors residing outside the United States, even if they are United States citizens or lawful permanent residents, except to investors with United States military APO or FPO addresses.
In certain circumstances, such as during periods of market volatility, severe weather and emergencies, shareholders may experience difficulties placing exchange or redemption orders by telephone. In that case, shareholders should consider using the Funds’ other exchange and redemption procedures described under “Exchanging Shares” and “Redeeming Shares.”
The Transfer Agent or the Funds will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that any telephone exchange or redemption request is genuine, which may include recording calls, asking the caller to provide certain personal identification information, sending you a written confirmation or requiring other confirmation procedures from time to time. If these procedures are followed, neither the Funds nor their agents will bear any liability for these transactions.
The Trust reserves the right in its sole discretion to:
Suspend the continued offering of shares
Reject any purchase or exchange order in whole or in part when in the judgment of the Adviser or the Distributor such rejection is in the best interest of a Fund
Change, revoke or suspend the exchange privilege
Suspend telephone transactions
Suspend or postpone redemptions of shares on any day when trading on the NYSE is restricted or as otherwise permitted by the SEC
Transfer your mutual fund account to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the “inactivity period” specified in your state’s abandoned property laws.
The Adviser reserves the right to:
reduce or waive the minimum for initial and subsequent investments for certain fiduciary accounts or under circumstances where certain economies can be achieved in sales of a Fund’s shares
It is important that the Funds maintain a correct address for each investor. An incorrect address may cause an investor’s account statements and other mailings to be returned to the Funds. Based upon statutory requirements for returned mail, the Funds will attempt to locate the investor or rightful owner of the account. If the Funds are unable to locate the investor, then they will determine whether the investor’s account can legally be considered abandoned. The Funds are legally obligated to escheat (or transfer) abandoned property to the appropriate state’s unclaimed property administrator in accordance with statutory requirements. Your mutual fund account may be transferred to your state of residence if no activity occurs within your account during the "inactivity period" specified in your State's abandoned property laws. The investor’s last known address of record determines which state has jurisdiction. Investors with a state of residence in Texas have the ability to designate a representative to receive legislatively required unclaimed property due diligence notifications. Please contact the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts for further information.
For your protection, the Funds or your Financial Intermediary may request additional information in connection with large redemptions, unusual activity in your account, or otherwise to ensure your redemption request is in good order. Please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds for more information.
Householding
In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, supplements, and certain other shareholder documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders we reasonably believe are from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-844-828-1919 to request individual copies of documents. Once the Funds receive notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.
Signature guarantees
A signature guarantee, from either a Medallion program member or a non-Medallion program member is required if you:
Are changing ownership on your account
    Information Statement/Prospectus    44


Are redeeming shares and sending the proceeds to an address or bank not currently on file
Are redeeming shares and your account address has changed within 30 calendar days
Are redeeming shares and want the check paid to someone other than the account owner(s)
Are transferring the redemption proceeds to an account with a different registration
For redemption requests in excess of $50,000
The Funds or the Adviser may waive any of the above requirements in certain instances. In addition to the situations described above, the Funds, the Adviser, and/or the Transfer Agent reserve the right to require a signature guarantee in other instances based on the circumstances relative to the particular situation.
Non-financial transactions, including establishing or modifying certain services on an account, may require a signature guarantee, signature verification from a Signature Validation Program member, or other acceptable form of authentication from a financial institution source.
Signature guarantees will generally be accepted from domestic banks, brokers, dealers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations, as well as from participants in the New York Stock Exchange Medallion Signature Program and the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program (“STAMP”). A notary public is not an acceptable signature guarantor.
Anti-money laundering
In compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, please note that the Transfer Agent will verify certain information on your account application as part of the Trust’s Anti-Money Laundering Program. As requested on the account application, you must supply your full name, date of birth, social security number and permanent street address. If you are opening the account in the name of a legal entity (e.g., partnership, limited liability company, business trust, corporation, etc.), you must also supply the identity of the beneficial owners. Mailing addresses containing only a P.O. Box will not be accepted. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.
Mandatory redemptions direct accounts
Direct accounts generally include accounts held in the name of the individual investor on a Fund’s books and records. The Funds reserve the right to ask you to bring your direct account up to a minimum investment amount determined by the Adviser if the aggregate value of the fund shares in your account falls below $500 for any reason (including solely due to declines in net asset value and/or failure to invest at least $500 within a reasonable period). You will be notified in writing and will have 60 days to make an additional investment to bring your account value up to the required level. If you choose not to do so within this 60-day period, the Fund may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds. The small account fee will not be charged on, if applicable: (i) Retirement Plans (but will be charged on other plans that are not employer-sponsored such as traditional and Roth IRAs, Coverdell education savings accounts, individual 403(b)(7) custodial accounts, Keogh plans, SEPs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE IRAs or similar accounts); (ii) 1919 Funds that are closed to subsequent purchases for all classes; (iii) accounts that do not have a valid address as evidenced by mail being returned to the Fund or its agents; and (iv) Class FI, Class R, and Class I shares. If your share class is no longer offered, you may not be able to bring your account up to the minimum investment amount. Some shareholders who hold accounts in multiple classes of the same fund may have those accounts aggregated for the purposes of these calculations. If your account is closed, you will not be eligible to have your account reinstated without imposition of any sales charges that may apply to your new purchase. Please contact the Funds for more information. Any redemption of Fund shares may result in tax consequences to you (see “Taxes” for more information).
Mandatory redemptions non-direct accounts
“Non-direct accounts” include omnibus accounts and accounts jointly maintained by the Financial Intermediary and the Funds.
The Funds reserve the right to ask you to bring your non-direct account up to a minimum investment amount determined by your Financial Intermediary if the aggregate value of the fund shares in your account is less than $500 for any reason (including solely due to declines in net asset value and/or failure to invest at least $500 within a reasonable period). You will be notified in writing and will have 60 days to make an additional investment to bring your account value up to the required level. If you choose not to do so within this 60-day period, the Fund may close your account and send you the redemption proceeds. If your share class is no longer offered, you may not be able to bring your account up to the minimum investment amount. Some shareholders who hold accounts in multiple classes of the same fund may have those accounts aggregated for the purposes of these calculations. If your account is closed, you will not be eligible to have your account reinstated without imposition of any sales charges that may apply to your new purchase. Please contact your Financial Intermediary for more information. Any redemption of Fund shares may result in tax consequences to you (see “Taxes” for more information).
    Information Statement/Prospectus    45


All accounts
The Funds may, with prior notice, change the minimum size of accounts subject to mandatory redemption, which may vary by class, implement fees for small non-direct accounts or change the amount of the fee for small direct accounts.
Subject to applicable law, the Funds may, with prior notice, adopt other policies from time to time requiring mandatory redemption of shares in certain circumstances.
For more information, please contact your Financial Intermediary or the Funds or consult the SAI.
Tools to Combat Frequent Transactions
The Board has adopted policies and procedures to prevent frequent transactions in the Funds. The Funds discourage excessive, short-term trading and other abusive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and harm the Funds’ performance. Shareholders having accounts directly with a Fund will be restricted to no more than four “round trips” during any 12 month period. A round trip is an exchange or redemption out of a Fund followed by an exchange or purchase back into the same Fund. The Funds may take other steps to reduce the frequency and effect of these activities in the Funds. These steps may include imposing a redemption fee, monitoring trading practices and using fair value pricing. Although these efforts are designed to discourage abusive trading practices, these tools cannot eliminate the possibility that such activity may occur. Further, while the Funds make efforts to identify and restrict frequent trading, the Funds receive purchase and sale orders through financial intermediaries and cannot always know or detect frequent trading that may be facilitated by the use of intermediaries or the use of group or omnibus accounts by those intermediaries.
The Funds monitor selected trades in an effort to detect excessive short-term trading activities. If, as a result of this monitoring, the Funds believe that a shareholder has engaged in excessive short-term trading, it may, in its discretion, ask the shareholder to stop such activities or refuse to process purchases in the shareholder’s accounts. In making such judgments, the Funds seek to act in a manner that it believes is consistent with the best interests of shareholders. Due to the complexity and subjectivity involved in identifying abusive trading activity and the volume of shareholder transactions the Funds handle, there can be no assurance that the Funds efforts will identify all trades or trading practices that may be considered abusive. In addition, the Funds ability to monitor trades that are placed by individual shareholders within group or omnibus accounts maintained by financial intermediaries is limited because the Fund does not have simultaneous access to the underlying shareholder account information.
In compliance with Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, the Distributor, on behalf of each of the Funds, has entered into written agreements with each of the Fund’s financial intermediaries, under which the intermediary must, upon request, provide the Funds with certain shareholder identity and trading information so that each Fund can enforce its market timing policies.
The Funds employ fair value pricing selectively, as discussed above, to ensure greater accuracy in its daily NAV and to prevent dilution by frequent traders or market timers who seek to take advantage of temporary market anomalies.
Record ownership
If you hold shares through a Financial Intermediary, your Financial Intermediary may establish and maintain your account and be the shareholder of record. In the event that the Funds hold a shareholder meeting, your Financial Intermediary, as record holder, will be entitled to vote your shares and may seek voting instructions from you. If you do not give your Financial Intermediary voting instructions, your Financial Intermediary, under certain circumstances, may nonetheless be entitled to vote your shares.
Shareholder Information for the Variable Fund
Shares of the Variable Fund may only be purchased or redeemed through variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies offered by the separate accounts of participating life insurance companies or through eligible pension or other qualified plans. Shares of the Variable Fund are sold at the Variable Fund’s net asset value next determined after receipt by the Variable Fund or its agent of a purchase request in good order. The Variable Fund will be deemed to have received a purchase or redemption order when an authorized broker, or, if applicable, a broker’s designee receives the order.
The interests of different variable insurance products investing in the Variable Fund could conflict due to differences of tax treatment and other considerations. Each of the TAP Board and the AMP Board currently does not foresee any disadvantages to investors arising from the fact that the Variable Fund may offer its shares to different insurance company separate accounts that serve as the investment medium for their variable annuity and variable life products. Nevertheless, each of the TAP Board and AMP Board intends to monitor events to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which may arise, and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to these conflicts. If a conflict were to occur, one or more insurance companies’ separate accounts might be required to withdraw their investments in the Variable Fund and shares of another fund may be substituted. In addition, the sale of shares may be suspended or terminated if required by law or regulatory authority or if it is found by the TAP Board or AMP Board to be in the best interests of the Variable Fund’s shareholders.
The Variable Fund reserves the right to reject any specific purchase order.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    46


DISTRIBUTOR
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) is the distributor for both the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds. The Distributor is a broker-dealer registered with the SEC. Quasar is a registered broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Shares of the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds are offered on a continuous basis.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS
Reorganizations
As further explained in this Information Statement/Prospectus, each Reorganization will be effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan of Reorganization”), a form of which is provided in Appendix A. Under the Plan of Reorganization, each Target Fund will transfer all of its assets to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption of all liabilities of the Target Fund by the Acquiring Fund and shares of each Acquiring Fund having an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the corresponding Target Fund on the Closing Date for each Reorganization (currently, the Closing Date is expected to be December 1, 2023). The shares of each Acquiring Fund will be distributed pro rata to the shareholders of the corresponding Target Fund in complete liquidation of the Target Fund. Holders of shares of a Target Fund will receive the number of shares of the Acquiring Fund equal in value to the aggregate NAV of the shares of the Target Fund, in the same share class, that the shareholder held immediately prior to each Reorganization. As a result of each Reorganization, a shareholder of a Target Fund will have the same percentage of ownership in the Acquiring Fund as such shareholder’s percentage of ownership in the Target Fund prior to the Reorganization.
The Board, including the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of TAP Trust (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), on behalf of the Target Funds, and the Board, including the Independent Trustees of AMP Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Funds, have approved the Plan of Reorganization. The Plan of Reorganization provides for:
a.the transfer of all of the assets and the liabilities of each Target Fund to the corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund;
b.the distribution of each Acquiring Fund’s shares to the corresponding Target Fund’s shareholders of the same share class; and
c.the termination of the Target Funds as separate series of TAP Trust.
If the proposed Reorganizations are completed, the Acquiring Funds will acquire all of the assets and the liabilities of the corresponding Target Fund, and shareholders of the Target Fund will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an aggregate NAV equal to the aggregate NAV of the same share class of Target Fund shares that the shareholders own immediately prior to each Reorganization.
Reasons for the Proposed Reorganizations
The TAP Board has determined that, in light of the pending litigation against TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of TAP Trust, the Reorganizations may enable the Acquiring Funds to benefit from greater economies of scale in the future than would otherwise be available to the Target Funds, which could lead to reduced fees or expenses for Acquiring Fund shareholders in the future, and to avoid any negative impact for the Target Funds relating to the pending litigation, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the TAP Board. With respect to economies of scale, it is anticipated that AMP Trust could grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as net assets, than TAP Trust, which would enable each series of AMP Trust, including the Acquiring Funds, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than TAP Trust. Additionally, the TAP Board believes that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of the Target Funds and their shareholders because the Acquiring Funds have identical investment objectives and the same investment strategies and policies as the corresponding Target Funds.
Board Considerations
In considering and approving the Reorganizations at meetings held on May 31 and June 1, 2023, the TAP Board discussed the future of TAP Trust and the Target Funds in light of the pending litigation against TAP Trust with respect to an unrelated series of TAP Trust and the advantages of reorganizing the Target Funds into the Acquiring Funds. Among other things, the Board also reviewed, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, the overall proposal for the Reorganizations, the principal terms and conditions of the Plan of Reorganization, including that the Reorganizations be consummated on a tax-free basis, and certain other materials provided prior to and during the meeting and at other meetings throughout the past year.
In considering each Reorganization, the TAP Board took into account the following matters, among others and in no order of priority:
The Adviser will manage the Acquiring Fund as the successor to the corresponding Target Fund.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    47


The investment objective, principal investment strategies, principal risks, investment policies and restrictions of the Acquiring Fund will be identical to those of the corresponding Target Fund, and the Acquiring Fund will be managed by the same portfolio management team as the corresponding Target Fund.
The management fee for each Acquiring Fund will be the same as the management fee for the corresponding Target Fund.
That a potential benefit of the Reorganization is that it may result in greater economies of scale for the Acquiring Fund than would otherwise exist in TAP Trust. The TAP Board recognized that the Adviser might benefit from increased economies of scale because the Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or cover expenses of the Acquiring Fund. The TAP Board considered that a significant reduction in such expenses could enable the Adviser to reduce or waive a portion of its management fee in the future to the benefit of shareholders. The TAP Board noted that AMP Trust was expected to grow to a greater number of investment advisers and funds, as well as greater net assets, than TAP Trust, which would enable each series of AMP Trust, including the Acquiring Funds, to benefit from spreading certain fixed operating expenses of AMP Trust across more funds and net assets than TAP Trust.
The desire to avoid any negative impact for the Target Fund relating to the pending litigation involving an unrelated series of TAP Trust, including but not limited to the inability to recruit and nominate new independent trustees to serve on the TAP Board.
The qualifications and experience of the Acquiring Fund’s service providers, which are the same service providers of the Target Fund.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Acquiring Fund to ensure that the Acquiring Fund’s annual net operating expenses do not exceed the level of the corresponding Target Fund’s current annual net operating expenses for at least one year after the Acquiring Fund commences operations.
The costs of the Reorganization will not be borne by either the Target Fund or the Acquiring Fund, regardless of whether the Reorganization is consummated. The TAP Board considered that the Trust’s administrator will bear the costs associated with the Reorganization.
Any potential conflicts of interest related to the Reorganization, including as a result of any direct or indirect benefits to the Adviser.
The Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code.
The interests of the shareholders of the Target Fund will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization.
If shareholders of the Target Fund do not wish to become shareholders of the corresponding Acquiring Fund, they may sell their Target Fund shares before the Reorganization.
The Board of TAP Trust, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the Reorganization of each Target Fund into the corresponding Acquiring Fund was in the best interests of such Target Fund and its shareholders, and that the Target Funds’ shareholders would not have their interests diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The determinations on behalf of the Target Funds were made on the basis of each TAP Board member’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual TAP Board members may have placed different weight on various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions.
After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, the TAP Board determined that the Reorganizations are in the best interests of shareholders of the Target Funds, and accordingly, unanimously approved the Reorganizations of the Target Funds into the corresponding Acquiring Funds and the Plan of Reorganization.
Costs and Expenses of the Reorganizations
The Plan of Reorganization provides that all expenses of each Reorganization will be borne by service providers to the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds. Such expenses include, without limitation: (a) postage and mailing; (b) printing; (c) accounting fees; and (d) legal fees incurred by TAP Trust. The costs associated with each Reorganization are expected to be approximately $50,000. The Trust’s administrator will bear the costs associated with the organization of each Acquiring Fund and the preparation of this Information Statement/Prospectus for the Reorganizations, among other expenses.

*Reflects the estimated pro forma capitalization of the applicable Acquiring Fund at July 31, 2023, as though each Reorganization had occurred on July 31, 2023, and is for informational purposes only. No assurance can be given as to how many shares of an Acquiring Fund will be received by the shareholders of the corresponding Target Fund on the date each Reorganization takes place, and the foregoing should not be relied upon to reflect the number of shares of an Acquiring Fund that actually will be received on or after such date.
Federal Tax Consequences
Each Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Accordingly, no gain or loss is expected to be recognized by the Funds as a direct result of the Reorganizations. As a non-waivable condition to each Reorganization, the law firm Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, counsel to TAP Trust and AMP Trust will provide an opinion of counsel to the effect that each Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes as defined by Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, the tax basis and the holding period of the Acquiring Fund shares received by each shareholder of the corresponding Target Fund in each Reorganization should be the same as the tax basis and holding period of the Target Fund shares given up by such shareholder in the Reorganization; provided that, with respect to the holding period for an Acquiring Fund shares received, the corresponding Target Fund’s shares given up must have been held as capital assets by the shareholder.
At any time before the Reorganizations take place, a shareholder may sell shares of a Target Fund. Generally, such sale would be a taxable transaction to the shareholder for federal income tax purposes.
For more information on the tax consequences of a reorganization, see “Taxes” later in this Information Statement/Prospectus.
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and Distributions for the Financial Services Fund, the Socially Responsive Fund and the Maryland Fund
The Financial Services Fund generally declares and pays dividends once annually, in December. The Socially Responsive Fund generally pays dividends from any net investment income and net short-term capital gains quarterly. The Maryland Fund generally declares dividends from any net investment income daily and pays them monthly. The Funds generally distributes net long-term capital gain, if any, once a year in December and at other such times as necessary. Each Fund may pay additional distributions and dividends in order to avoid a federal tax.
All distributions will be reinvested in additional Fund shares unless you choose one of the following options: (1) receive distributions of net capital gain in cash, while reinvesting net investment income distributions in additional Fund shares; (2) receive all distributions in cash; or; or (3) reinvest net capital gain distributions in additional Fund shares, while receiving distributions of net investment income in cash.
If you hold shares directly with the Fund and you elect to receive dividends and/or distributions in cash, you have the option to receive such dividends and/or distributions via a direct deposit to your bank account by check.
If you elect to receive distributions and/or capital gains paid in cash and the U.S. Postal Service cannot deliver the check, or if a check remains outstanding for six months, the Funds reserve the right to reinvest the distribution check in your account, at the applicable
    Information Statement/Prospectus    50


Fund’s current NAV per share, and to reinvest all subsequent distributions. If you wish to change your distribution option, notify the Transfer Agent in writing or by telephone at least 5 days prior to the record date of the next distribution.
Dividends and Distributions for the Variable Fund
Distributions made by the Variable Fund are automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Variable Fund at net asset value unless the Variable Fund is instructed otherwise.
Special tax rules apply to insurance companies, variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. Distributions to an insurance company separate account, and exchanges and redemptions of Variable Fund shares made by a separate account, ordinarily do not cause contract holders to recognize income or gain for federal income tax purposes.
TAXES
Each Acquiring Fund and its shareholders are not expected to face any tax consequences as a result of the Reorganizations. The Adviser does not anticipate any restructuring of the securities in the portfolio as a result of each Reorganization due to the fact that the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Funds are identical. As of December 31, 2022, the Target Funds had capital loss carryforwards as shown in the table below; however, this will not have any impact on the Target Funds or the Acquiring Funds as a result of the Reorganizations.

Total$—$1,831,955$18,636,693$—
Each Fund has elected and intends to qualify each year for treatment as a RIC. If it meets certain minimum distribution requirements, a RIC is not subject to tax at the fund level on income and gains from investments that are timely distributed to shareholders. However, the Fund’s failure to qualify as a RIC or to meet minimum distribution requirements would result (if certain relief provisions were not available) in fund-level taxation and, consequently, a reduction in income available for distribution to shareholders.
In general, each Fund intends to distribute, at least annually, substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains. For federal income tax purposes, distributions of investment income are generally taxable as ordinary income or qualified dividend income. Taxes on distributions of capital gains (if any) are determined by how long the Fund owned the investments that generated them, rather than how long a shareholder has owned his or her shares. Sales of assets held by a Fund for more than one year generally result in long-term capital gains and losses, and sales of assets held by a Fund for one year or less generally result in short-term capital gains and losses. For this purpose, the period during which an Acquiring Fund holds an asset includes the period during which the Target Fund held that asset. Distributions of a Fund’s net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that are reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends (“Capital Gain Dividends”) will be taxable as long-term capital gains, which for non-corporate shareholders are subject to tax at reduced rates of up to 20% (lower rates apply to individuals in lower tax brackets). Distributions of short-term capital gain will generally be taxable as ordinary income. Dividends and distributions are generally taxable to you whether you receive them in cash or reinvest them in additional shares.
Distributions reported by a Fund as “qualified dividend income” are generally taxed to non-corporate shareholders at rates applicable to long-term capital gains, provided holding period and other requirements are met. “Qualified dividend income” generally is income derived from dividends paid by U.S. corporations or certain foreign corporations that are either incorporated in a U.S. possession or eligible for tax benefits under certain U.S. income tax treaties. The Maryland Fund does not expect any distributions to be treated as qualified dividend income. In addition, dividends that a Fund received in respect of stock of certain foreign corporations may be qualified dividend income if that stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. Certain of the Funds’ investment strategies may limit a Fund’s ability to distribute dividends eligible to be treated as qualified dividend income. A portion of the dividends received from a Fund (but none of its capital gain distributions) may qualify for the dividends‑received deduction for corporations. The Maryland Fund does not expect any distributions to be treated as eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations.
A RIC that receives business interest income may pass through its net business interest income for purposes of the tax rules applicable to the interest expense limitations under Section 163(j) of the Code. A RIC’s total “Section 163(j) Interest Dividend” for a tax year is limited to the excess of the RIC’s business interest income over the sum of its business interest expense and its other deductions properly allocable to its business interest income. A RIC may, in its discretion, designate all or a portion of ordinary dividends as Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, which would allow the recipient shareholder to treat the designated portion of such dividends as interest income for purposes of determining such shareholder’s interest expense deduction limitation under Section 163(j). This can potentially increase the amount of a shareholder’s interest expense deductible under Section 163(j). In general, to be eligible to treat a Section 163(j) Interest Dividend as interest income, you must have held your shares in a Fund for more than 180 days during the 361-
    Information Statement/Prospectus    51


day period beginning on the date that is 180 days before the date on which the share becomes ex-dividend with respect to such dividend. Section 163(j) Interest Dividends, if so designated by a Fund, will be reported to your financial intermediary or otherwise in accordance with the requirements specified by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).
A tax of 3.8% applies to net investment income of U.S. individuals (other than individuals that are married by filing a separate return) with income exceeding specified thresholds, and to all or a portion of undistributed net investment income of certain estates and trusts. Net investment income generally includes for this purpose dividends and capital gain distributions paid by the Funds and gain on the redemption of fund shares.
Any dividend or capital gain distribution paid by the Funds has the effect of reducing the NAV per share on the ex-dividend date by the amount of the dividend or capital gain distribution. You should note that a dividend or capital gain distribution paid on shares purchased shortly before that dividend or capital gain distribution was declared will be subject to income taxes even though the dividend or capital gain distribution represents, in substance, a partial return of capital to you. This is known as “buying a dividend” and should be avoided by taxable investors.
Although distributions are generally taxable when received, certain distributions declared in October, November, or December to shareholders of record on a specified date in such a month but paid the following January are taxable as if received in December of the year in which the dividend is declared.
The Funds (or their administrative agent) will send you a report annually summarizing the amount and tax aspects of your distributions.
If you are not a citizen or a permanent resident of the United States, a Fund’s ordinary income dividends will generally be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower treaty rate applies or unless such income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. The 30% withholding tax generally will not apply to distributions of a Fund’s net capital gain that is reported by the Fund as capital gain dividends. Each Fund may, under certain circumstances, report all or a portion of a dividend as an “interest-related dividend” or a “short-term capital gain dividend,” which would generally be exempt from this 30% U.S. withholding tax, provided certain other requirements are met. Short-term capital gain dividends received by a nonresident alien individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the taxable year are not exempt from this 30% withholding tax. Different tax consequences may result if you are a foreign shareholder engaged in a trade or business within the United States or if you are a foreign shareholder entitled to claim the benefits of a tax treaty. Foreign investors in the Funds are encouraged to consult their tax advisor prior to investing in the Funds.
Each Fund must withhold a backup withholding as a percentage of your taxable distributions and redemption proceeds if you (1) have provided the Fund either an incorrect tax identification number, or no number at all, (2) are subject to backup withholding by the IRS for failure to properly report payments of interest or dividends, (3) have failed to certify to the Fund that you are not subject to backup withholding, or (4) have not certified to the Fund that you are a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien). The backup withholding rate is 24% for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. Backup withholding will not, however, be applied to payments that have been subject to the 30% withholding tax applicable to shareholders who are neither citizens nor residents of the United States.
Each Fund will be required to report to the IRS all distributions of taxable income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the redemption of Fund shares, except in the case of exempt shareholders, which includes most corporations. Each Fund will also be required to report tax basis information for such shares and indicate whether these shares had a short-term or long-term holding period. If a shareholder has a different basis for different shares of a Fund in the same account (e.g., if a shareholder purchased shares in the same account at different times for different prices), the Fund calculates the basis of the shares sold using its default method unless the shareholder has properly elected to use a different method. Each Fund’s default method for calculating basis is the tax optimization method, under which the shareholder sells shares in a thoughtful way to reduce or eliminate capital gains. A shareholder may elect, on an account-by-account basis, to use a method other than tax optimization by following procedures established by a Fund or its administrative agent. If such an election is made on or prior to the date of the first exchange or redemption of shares in the account and on or prior to the date that is one year after the shareholder receives notice of the Fund’s default method, the new election will generally apply as if the tax optimization method had never been in effect for such account. Shareholders should consult their tax advisers concerning the tax consequences of applying the tax optimization method or electing another method of basis calculation. Shareholders also should carefully review any cost basis information provided to them and make any additional basis, holding period or other adjustments that are required when reporting these amounts on their federal income tax returns.
Each sale, exchange, or redemption of shares of a Fund is considered a taxable and will generally result in capital gain or loss if you hold your Fund shares as capital assets. The gain or loss generally will be treated as short-term capital gain or loss if you held the shares twelve months or less, long term capital gain or loss if you held the shares for longer. Any capital loss on the sale of Fund shares held for six months or less is treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that capital gain dividends were paid with respect to such Fund shares. You are responsible for any tax liabilities generated by your transaction. The Code limits the deductibility of capital
    Information Statement/Prospectus    52


losses in certain circumstances. An exchange of shares of one class directly for shares of another class of a Fund generally should not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes. You should talk to your tax advisor before making an exchange.
To the extent a Fund invests in foreign securities, it may be subject to foreign withholding taxes with respect to dividends or interest the Fund received from sources in foreign countries. If more than 50% of the total assets of a Fund consists of foreign securities, the Fund will be eligible to elect to treat some of those taxes as a distribution to shareholders, which would allow shareholders to offset some of their U.S. federal income tax. The Funds (or their administrative agent) will notify you if it makes such an election and provide you with the information necessary to reflect foreign taxes paid on your income tax return.
The Maryland Fund intends to qualify to pay “exempt-interest dividends” to its shareholders by satisfying the requirement that at the close of each quarter of its taxable year at least 50% of the value of its total assets consist of obligations, the interest on which is exempt from regular federal income tax. As long as this and certain other requirements are met, dividends derived from the Maryland Fund’s net tax-exempt interest income will be “exempt-interest dividends” that may be excluded from shareholders’ gross income for federal income tax purposes. Most distributions from the Maryland Fund are expected to be exempt-interest dividends, which are exempt from federal income tax but may be subject to state or local income taxes. Exempt-interest dividends from Maryland municipal securities will also be exempt from Maryland personal income tax. Some exempt-interest dividends may be subject to the federal AMT applicable to non-corporate investors. In addition, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022, exempt-interest dividends may affect the federal corporate AMT for certain corporations. Income from municipal bonds held by the Maryland Fund could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the IRS or state tax authorities, or noncompliant conduct of a bond issuer. Interest paid on a municipal bond issued after December 31, 2017 to advance refund another municipal bond is subject to federal income tax. Distributions of capital gains and any investment income that is not exempt from federal income tax are generally taxable to you regardless of whether you reinvest them in additional shares of a Fund or receive them in cash. The Financial Services Fund and Socially Responsive Fund will not pay exempt-interest dividends. The Maryland Fund may not be a suitable investment for IRAs, for other tax-exempt or tax-deferred accounts or for investors who are not sensitive to the federal income tax consequences of their investments.
While the Maryland Fund intends, under normal circumstances, to invest at least 50% of its net assets in municipal securities that pay interest that is exempt from federal income tax in order to meet the requirements necessary for a Fund to pay out exempt-interest dividends to its shareholders, if the Maryland Fund fails to meet this requirement, the income from all of its investments, including its municipal securities, may be subject to federal income tax.
You may want to avoid buying shares when a Fund is about to declare a taxable dividend or capital gain distribution because it will be taxable to you even though it may economically represent a return of a portion of your investment.
Tax Information for the Variable Fund
In order to enable insurance company separate accounts investing in the Variable Fund to comply with the diversification requirements applicable to “segregated asset accounts” under the Code, the Variable Fund intends to structure its portfolio in a manner that complies with those requirements and to prohibit investment in the Variable Fund by investors other than separate accounts established and maintained by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity and life insurance contracts and certain qualified pension and retirement plans. The applicable Treasury regulations generally provide that, as of the end of each calendar quarter or within 30 days thereafter, no more than 55% of the total assets of a segregated asset account may be represented by any one investment, no more than 70% by any two investments, no more than 80% by any three investments, and no more than 90% by any four investments. For this purpose, all securities of the same issuer are considered a single investment, but in the case of U.S. government securities, each government agency or instrumentality is considered to be a separate issuer. An alternative asset diversification test may be satisfied under certain circumstances. So long as the Fund qualifies as a RIC under the Code and ensures that its shares are held only by qualifying investors, each segregated asset account investing in the Variable Fund will be entitled to “look through” to the Variable Fund’s portfolio in order to satisfy the diversification requirements. As noted above, shares of the Variable Fund are offered only to separate accounts established and maintained by insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts and to certain qualified pension and retirement plans. If the Variable Fund were to sell its shares to other categories of shareholders, the Variable Fund may fail to comply with applicable Treasury requirements regarding investor control. If the Variable Fund should fail to comply with the diversification or investor control requirements or fail to qualify as a RIC under the Code, contracts invested in the Variable Fund would not be treated as annuity, endowment or life insurance contracts under the Code, and all income and gain earned in past years and currently inside the contracts would be taxed currently to the policyholders and income and gain would remain subject to taxation as ordinary income thereafter, even if the Variable Fund were to become adequately diversified.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS SUMMARY

Cohen & Company, Ltd. has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.
As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, the Acquiring Funds have not commenced operations and have no financial highlights. The Acquiring Funds will assume the accounting history of the corresponding Target Fund at the closing of the Reorganizations.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES TO BE ISSUED; RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Set forth below is a description of the Acquiring Fund shares to be issued to the shareholders of the corresponding Target Fund in the Reorganizations. Also set forth below is a discussion of the rights of shareholders of each Fund, which have identical characteristics.
The following is a summary of the material rights of shareholders of the Funds, but does not purport to be a complete description of these rights. These rights may be determined in full by reference to the Delaware statute governing statutory trusts (the “Delaware Statute”), TAP Trust’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust, and TAP Trust’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, as well as AMP Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Bylaws (collectively, the “Governing Instruments”). The Governing Instruments are subject to amendment in accordance with their terms. Copies of the Governing Instruments are available upon request and without charge by following the instructions listed under “Available Information.”
Form of Organization. The Target Funds are series of TAP Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on August 28, 2003. The Acquiring Funds are series of AMP Trust, an open-end management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 16, 2023. The Target Financial Services Fund and the Acquiring Financial Services Fund each have five classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class FI, Class R, and Class I; however, as of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, Class FI and Class R shares of the Target Financial Services Fund are not currently offered for purchase. The Target Socially Responsive Fund and the Acquiring Socially Responsive Fund each have five classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class FI, Class R, and Class I; however, Class FI and Class R shares of the Target Socially Responsive Fund are not currently offered for purchase. The Target Maryland Fund and the Acquiring Maryland Fund each have four classes of shares: Class A, Class C, Class FI, and Class I; however, as of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, Class FI shares of the Target Maryland Fund are not currently offered for purchase. The Target Variable Fund and the Acquiring Variable Fund each offer a single class of shares.
Capital Stock. Each of TAP Trust and AMP Trust (each, a “Trust”) is authorized to issue an unlimited number of interests (or shares). Interests in the Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds are represented by shares of beneficial interest each with no par value, in an Investor Class and Institutional Class. As of the date of this Information Statement/Prospectus, shares of approximately thirteen other series of TAP Trust are offered in separate prospectuses and statements of additional information, and there are two existing series of AMP Trust. Each Trust may start additional series and offer shares of new funds under the Trust at any time.
Voting Rights. Each share of a Fund represents an interest in the respective Fund and corresponding Trust that is equal to and proportionate with each other share of the respective Fund and corresponding Trust. Fund shareholders are entitled to one vote per share (and a fractional vote per fractional share) held on matters on which they are entitled to vote. Each Trust is not required to (nor does it) hold annual shareholder meetings. However, special meetings may be called for purposes such as electing or removing trustees. On any matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of either Fund, all shares are voted together without regard to class or series except when separate voting is required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Shareholder Liability. The Delaware Statute does not include an express provision relating to the limitation of liability of the beneficial owners of a Delaware statutory trust. The Governing Instruments provide that no shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever to any person in connection with property of a Fund or the acts, obligations or affairs of a Trust. The Governing Instruments further provide that, if any shareholder is made a party to any suit or proceeding to enforce any such liability of a Fund, he or she shall not be held to any personal liability. Each Trust shall indemnify and hold each shareholder harmless from and against all claims and liabilities to which such shareholder may become subject by reason of being or having been a shareholder, and shall reimburse the shareholder for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability.
    Information Statement/Prospectus    54


Preemptive Rights. Shareholders of each Trust are not entitled to any preference, preemptive, appraisal, conversion or exchange rights.
FUND TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS
The independent members of the TAP Board comprise a majority of the independent members of the AMP Board and the officers of TAP Trust and AMP Trust are the same.

WHEREAS, each of TAP Trust and AMP Trust is an open-end management investment company registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto intend for (i) this Agreement to be and is adopted as a plan of reorganization with respect to the Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Section 1.368-2(g) of the U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”), and (ii) that for United States federal income tax purposes the Reorganization contemplated by this Agreement constitutes a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
1.    DESCRIPTION OF THE REORGANIZATION
1.1.    The Trusts agree to take the following steps with respect to the Reorganization:
(a)Each Target Fund shall transfer all of its Assets, as defined in Section 1.1(b), to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and each Acquiring Fund in exchange therefor shall assume all of the Liabilities, as defined in Section 1.1(c), and deliver to the corresponding Target Fund the number of Acquiring Fund Shares of each share class of the Acquiring Fund as set forth on Exhibit A (including fractional shares, if any) determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.
(b)The assets of each Target Fund to be transferred to the corresponding Acquiring Fund shall consist of all assets, property, and goodwill including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities and futures interests, claims (whether absolute or contingent, known or unknown, accrued or unaccrued and including, without limitation, any interest in pending or future legal claims in connection with past or present portfolio holdings, whether in the form of class action claims, opt-out or other direct litigation claims, or regulator or government-established investor recovery fund claims, and any and all resulting recoveries) and dividends or interest receivable that are owned by each Target Fund and any deferred or








Appendix A    A-1    Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization


prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of each Target Fund on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3.1 below) (collectively, “Assets”).
(c)Each Target Fund will endeavor to discharge all of its liabilities and obligations prior to the Closing Date, other than those liabilities and obligations which would otherwise be discharged at a later date in the ordinary course of business. Each Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the liabilities of the corresponding Target Fund, whether accrued or contingent, known or unknown, existing at the Closing Date (collectively, “Liabilities”).
(d)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1 below), each Target Fund will distribute to its shareholders of record (“Target Fund Shareholders”) the corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Target Fund pursuant to Section 1.1(a) on a pro rata basis, and each Target Fund will as promptly as practicable thereafter completely liquidate and dissolve. Each Target Fund Shareholder of a Target Fund share class shall be entitled to receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund share class set forth on Exhibit A. Such distribution and liquidation will be accomplished, with respect to each Target Fund’s shares, by the transfer of the corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares then credited to the account of the Target Fund on the books of the corresponding Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the corresponding Acquiring Fund in the names of the Target Fund Shareholders. At the Closing, any outstanding certificates representing shares of each Target Fund will be cancelled.
(e)Ownership of Acquiring Fund Shares will be shown on each Acquiring Fund’s books, as such are maintained by its transfer agent.
2.    VALUATION
2.1.    With respect to the Reorganization:
(a)The net value of each Target Fund’s Assets to be acquired by the corresponding Acquiring Fund hereunder shall be computed as of the Valuation Time (defined below) by calculating the value of the Assets, which shall reflect the declaration of any dividends, and subtracting therefrom the amount of the Liabilities using the valuation procedures established by TAP Trust’s Board of Trustees (“Target Fund Valuation Procedures”).
(b)The number of Acquiring Fund Shares issued by each Acquiring Fund in exchange for the corresponding Target Fund’s Assets shall be equal in value to the aggregate net asset value of shares of the corresponding Target Fund outstanding as of the Valuation Time.
(c)The net asset value per share of each Acquiring Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization shall be determined to the nearest full cent as of the Valuation Time, by dividing the net value of the corresponding Target Fund’s Assets (described in Section 2.1(a)) by the number of corresponding Acquiring Fund Shares issued in connection with the Reorganization (described in Section 2.1(b)).
(d)All computations of value shall be made by the Target Funds’ administrator using Target Fund Valuation Procedures.
(e)Valuation Time” shall mean immediately after the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the Valuation Date.
(f)Valuation Date” shall mean the business day next preceding the Closing Date.
    3.    CLOSING AND CLOSING DATE
3.1.    The Reorganization shall close on December 1, 2023 or such other date as the parties may agree (the “Closing Date”). All acts taking place at the closing of the Reorganization (“Closing”) shall be deemed to take place simultaneously as of immediately prior to the opening of regular trading on the NYSE on the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed to by the parties (the “Closing Time”).
3.2.    With respect to the Reorganization:
(a)Each Target Fund’s portfolio securities, investments or other assets that are represented by a certificate or other written instrument shall be transferred and delivered by each Target Fund as of the Closing Date to the Acquiring Funds’ custodian (the “Acquiring Custodian”) for the account of such Acquiring Fund duly endorsed in proper form for transfer and in such condition as to constitute good delivery thereof. TAP Trust shall direct the Target Funds’ custodian (the “Target Custodian”) to deliver to the Acquiring Custodian as of the Closing Date by book entry, in accordance with customary practices of the Target Custodian and any securities depository (as defined in Rule 17f-4 under 1940 Act) in which the Assets are deposited, each Target Fund’s portfolio securities and instruments so held. The cash to be transferred by each








Appendix A    A-2    Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization


Target Fund shall be delivered to the corresponding Acquiring Custodian by wire transfer of federal funds or other appropriate means on the Closing Date.
(b)Each Target Fund shall be responsible for paying all necessary taxes in connection with the delivery of the Assets, including, but not limited to, all capital gains taxes and all applicable Federal, state and foreign stock transfer stamps, if any.
(c)At such time prior to the Closing Date, the Target Funds shall provide (i) instructions and related information to the Acquiring Funds or their transfer agent with respect to each Target Fund’s Shareholders, including names, addresses, dividend reinvestment elections and tax withholding status of each Target Fund’s Shareholders as of the date agreed upon (such information to be updated as of the Closing Date, as necessary) and (ii) the information and documentation maintained by each Target Fund or its agents relating to the identification and verification of each Target Fund’s Shareholders under the USA PATRIOT ACT and other applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules and regulations and such other information as the Acquiring Fund may reasonably request.
(d)In the event that on the Valuation Date or the Closing Date (i) the NYSE or another primary trading market for portfolio securities of the Target Funds (the “Exchange”) shall be closed to trading or trading thereupon shall be restricted, or (ii) trading or the reporting of trading on such Exchange or elsewhere shall be disrupted so that, in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of TAP Trust or the authorized officers of either of such entities, accurate appraisal of the value of the net assets of a Target Fund is impracticable, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the second business day after the day when trading shall have been fully resumed and reporting shall have been restored.

(g)Each Target Fund has elected to be a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is a fund that is treated as a separate corporation under Section 851(g) of the Code. Each Target Fund has qualified for treatment as a regulated investment company for each taxable year since inception that has ended prior to the Closing Date and will have satisfied the requirements of Part I of Subchapter M of the Code to maintain such qualification for the period beginning on the first day of its current taxable year and ending on the Closing Date. Each Target Fund is not (and will not be as of the Closing Date) classified as a partnership, and instead is (and will be as of the Closing Date) classified as an association that is subject to tax as a corporation for federal tax purposes and either has elected the latter classification by filing Form 8832 with the Internal Revenue Service or is a “publicly traded partnership” (as defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code) that is treated as a corporation for federal tax purposes. Each Target Fund will qualify as a regulated investment company as of the Closing Date and will have satisfied as of the close of its most recent prior quarter of its taxable year, the diversification requirements of Section 851(b)(3) of the Code. Each Target Fund has not taken any action, caused any action to be taken or caused any action to fail to be taken which action or failure could cause such Target Fund to fail to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will not cause each Target Fund to fail to be qualified as a regulated investment company as of the Closing Date. Each Target Fund has no earnings or profits accumulated in any taxable year in which the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code did not apply to it. Each Target Fund has been eligible to and has computed its federal income tax under Section 852 of the Code, and has not been, and will not be, liable for any material income or excise tax under Section 852 or 4982 of the Code with respect to any taxable year or calendar year ending before the Closing Date;
(h)Each Target Fund has not received written notification from any tax authority that asserts a position contrary to any of the representations in paragraphs (f) or (g) of this Section 4.1;

(j)Each Target Fund will provide the corresponding Acquiring Fund with such information relating to such Target Fund as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of the N-14 Registration Statement (as defined in Section 5.1(b)) and such information as of the date provided, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading, provided, however, that the representations and warranties in this paragraph shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the N-14 Registration Statement made in reasonable reliance upon and in conformity with information that was furnished by TAP Trust for use therein;
(k)Each Target Fund is not under the jurisdiction of a court in a Title 11 or similar case within the meaning of Section 368(a)(3)(A) of the Code;
(l)Each Target Fund will not be subject to corporate-level taxation on the sale of any assets currently held by it as a result of the application of Section 337(d) of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder;

Appendix A    A-7    Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization


would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the assets or properties of an Acquiring Fund or a Target Fund, provided that either party hereto may for itself waive any of such conditions;
8.3.    The N-14 Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued and, to the best knowledge of the parties hereto, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or known to be contemplated under the 1933 Act; and

In rendering such opinion, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP may request and rely upon representations contained in certificates of officers of the Trusts and the officers of the Trusts shall use their best efforts to make available such truthful certificates. The foregoing opinion may state that no opinion is expressed as to (i) the effect of the Reorganization on the Target Fund, the corresponding Acquiring Fund or any Target Fund Shareholder with respect to any asset as to which unrealized gain or loss is required to be recognized for federal income tax purposes under a mark-to-market system of accounting or (ii) any other U.S. federal tax issues (except those set forth in the opinion) and all state, local or foreign tax issues of any kind. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Target Funds nor the Acquiring Funds may waive the condition set forth in this Section 8.4.

This Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

Schedule 8.4
Tax Opinions

With respect to each Reorganization:
The Reorganization will constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund will each be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code;
No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer of all the Assets of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the Liabilities of the Target Fund, or upon the distribution of the shares of the Acquiring Fund to the Target Fund Shareholders, except for (A) gain or loss that may be recognized on the transfer of “section 1256 contracts” as defined in Section 1256(b) of the Code, (B) gain that may be recognized on the transfer of stock in a “passive foreign investment company” as defined in Section 1297(a) of the Code, and (C) any other gain or loss that may be required to be recognized upon the transfer of an asset regardless of whether such transfer would otherwise be a non-recognition transaction under the Code;
The tax basis in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of each Asset transferred from the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization will be the same as the tax basis of such Asset in the hands of the Target Fund immediately prior to the transfer thereof, increased by the amount of gain (or decreased by the amount of loss), if any, recognized by the Target Fund on the transfer;
The holding period in the hands of the Acquiring Fund of each Asset transferred from the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund in the Reorganization, other than Assets with respect to which gain or loss is required to be recognized, will include the Target Fund’s holding period for such Asset (except where investment activities of the Acquiring Fund have the effect of reducing or eliminating the holding period with respect to an asset);
No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon its receipt of all the Assets of the Target Fund solely in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all the Liabilities of the Target Fund as part of the Reorganization;
No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund Shareholders upon the exchange of their shares of the Target Fund for shares of the Acquiring Fund as part of the Reorganization;
The aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund Shares each Target Fund Shareholder receives in the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the shares of the Target Fund exchanged therefor;
Each Target Fund Shareholder’s holding period for the shares of the Acquiring Fund received in the Reorganization will include the Target Fund Shareholder’s holding period for the shares of the Target Fund exchanged therefor, provided that the Target Fund Shareholder held such shares of the Target Fund as capital assets on the date of the exchange;
The Acquiring Fund will succeed to and take into account those tax attributes of the Target Fund that are described in Section 381(c) of the Code subject to the conditions and limitations specified in the Code, the regulations thereunder, and existing court decisions and published interpretations of the Code and regulations; and
The taxable year of the Target Fund will not be required to end solely as a result of the Reorganization.

For waivers and discounts not available through a particular Financial Intermediary, shareholders will have to purchase Fund shares directly from the Fund or through another intermediary to receive these waivers or discounts.

Edward D. Jones & Co., L.P. (“Edward Jones”)
Policies Regarding Transactions Through Edward Jones
The following information has been provided by Edward Jones:
Effective on or after March 3, 2021, the following information supersedes prior information with respect to transactions and positions held in fund shares through an Edward Jones system. Clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from discounts and waivers described elsewhere in this Information Statement/Prospectus or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of 1919 Funds, or other facts qualifying the purchaser for discounts or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance. Shareholders should contact Edward Jones if they have questions regarding their eligibility for these discounts and waivers.
Breakpoints
Breakpoint pricing, otherwise known as volume pricing, at dollar thresholds as described in this Information Statement/Prospectus.
Rights of Accumulation (“ROA”)
The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except certain money market funds and any assets held in group retirement plans) of 1919 Funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). If grouping assets as a shareholder, this includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the ROA calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Money market funds are included only if such shares were sold with a sales charge at the time of purchase or acquired in exchange for shares purchased with a sales charge.
The employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan may elect to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping as opposed to including all share classes at a shareholder or pricing group level.
ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost minus redemptions or market value (current shares x NAV).
Letter of Intent (“LOI”)
Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to make over a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying Edward Jones of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not adjusted under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.
If the employer maintaining a SEP IRA plan and/or SIMPLE IRA plan has elected to establish or change ROA for the IRA accounts associated with the plan to a plan-level grouping, LOIs will also be at the plan-level and may only be established by the employer.
Sales Charge Waivers
Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations:
Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the
Appendix C    C-3    Financial Intermediary Sales Charge Variations


associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing and remains in good standing pursuant to Edward Jones’ policies and procedures.
Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.
Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.
Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1) the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in a non-retirement account.
Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in this Information Statement/Prospectus.
Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.
CDSC Waivers
If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions:
The death or disability of the shareholder.
Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.
Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).
Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulations.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Rule 6-11(d)(2) under Regulation S-X requires that, with respect to any fund acquisition, registered investment companies must provide certain supplemental financial information in lieu of pro forma financial statements required by Regulation S-X. For this reason, pro forma financial statements of the Acquiring Funds are not included in this SAI.
Tables showing the fees and expenses of the Target Funds, which are identical to those of the Acquiring Funds on a pro forma basis after giving effect to each proposed Reorganization, are included under “Fees and Expenses in the Information Statement/Prospectus.
Under the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the Target Funds are proposed to be reorganized into the Acquiring Funds.
Each Reorganization will not result in a material change to the Target Funds’ investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Funds being identical to those of the Target Funds. Each security held by the Target Funds is eligible to be held by the Acquiring Funds and the Acquiring Funds will have the same investment objectives and strategies as the Target Funds. As a result, a schedule of investments of the Target Funds modified to show the effects of the change is not required and is not included.
There are no material differences in accounting policies of the Target Funds as compared to those of the Acquiring Funds.

    Pursuant to Rule 484 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Registrant furnishes the following undertaking: “Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

With respect to the Registrant, the general effect of these provisions is to indemnify any person (Trustee, director, officer, employee or agent, among others) who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of their actions performed in their official or duly authorized capacity on behalf of the Trust. With respect to the distributor, the general effect of the relevant provisions is to indemnify those entities for claims arising out of any untrue statement or material fact contained in the Funds' Registration Statement, reports to shareholders or advertising and sales literature.
