1AlphaSimplex Group, LLC ("AlphaSimplex" or the "Adviser") has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses to 1.60%, 2.35%, 1.30% and 1.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A, C, N and Y shares, respectively, exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2015 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The Adviser will be permitted to recover, on a class by class basis, management fees waived and/or expenses reimbursed to the extent that expenses in later periods fall below 1.60%, 2.35%, 1.30% and 1.35% of the Fund's average daily net assets for Class A, C, N and Y shares, respectively. The Fund will not be obligated to repay any such waived/reimbursed fees and expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.
2NGAM Advisors has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to reimburse any and all transfer agency expenses for Class N shares. This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2016 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund's Board of Trustees.

Example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods (except where indicated). The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same, except that the example for Class N is based on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement for the first 22 months and on the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses for the remaining periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If shares are redeemed:

   1 year   3 years   5 years   10 years 
Class A  $726    $1,045    $1,386    $2,345  
Class C  $336    $727    $1,245    $2,666  
Class N  $126    $641    $1,357    $3,262  
Class Y  $135    $421    $729    $1,601

If shares are not redeemed:
