ASG Tactical U.S. Market Fund

Effective July 1, 2015, AlphaSimplex Group, LLC, has given a binding contractual undertaking to the Fund to limit the amount of the Fund’s total annual fund operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses, organizational and extraordinary expenses, such as litigation and indemnification expenses) to 1.25%, 2.00%, and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares, respectively.

This undertaking is in effect through April 30, 2017.

Accordingly, the Annual Fund Operating Expenses table and the Example table within the section “Fund Fees & Expenses” are amended and restated as follows with respect to the Fund:

1 Other expenses have been restated to reflect current custodian and transfer agency fees for the Fund effective October 1, 2014.
2 The expense information shown in the table above includes acquired fund fees and expenses of less than 0.01%; the ratios may differ from the expense information disclosed in the Fund’s financial highlights table because the financial highlights table reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include acquired fund fees and expenses.
3 AlphaSimplex 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 1.25%, 2.00%, and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets for Class A, Class C and Class 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, 2017 and may be terminated before then only with the consent of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The Fund’s investment 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 the applicable expense limitations for Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. 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 fee/expense was waived/reimbursed.

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 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
   $ 696       $ 986       $ 1,323       $ 2,271
