PORTFOLIO TURNOVER

     The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 82% of the average value of its whole portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

      The Fund typically invests in a broadly diversified portfolio of large and mid-cap domestic stocks; although its portfolio may also contain small-cap stocks with annual revenues between $0.5 and $1 billion. Its securities are generally a blend of value and growth stocks. The Fund invests primarily in issues listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and to a lesser extent, in common stocks of NASDAQ and other exchanges. The Fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets, in SPDR based ETFs or equivalents. Under negative stock market conditions, the Fund may allocate, for temporary defensive purposes, a large portion of its assets in cash equivalents or United States government securities for downside protection. A description of the Fund’s policies with respect to disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).



PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

     The Fund’s share price will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s portfolio securities. Stocks are subject to market, economic and business risks that cause their prices to fluctuate. When you sell Fund shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. Consequently, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the Adviser’s judgment about particular stocks is incorrect and the perceived value of such stocks is not realized by the market or their prices decline.



PERFORMANCE

     The following bar chart and table provide an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year. The table shows the Fund’s average annual returns for one, five and ten years, as compared to those of the broad based Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.  As with all mutual funds, the Fund’s past performance, before and after taxes, does not predict how the Fund will perform in the future.  For more recent performance information, visit www.volumetric.com.
